Abstract

A constant voltage or constant current output circuit is disclosed which can be operated with input voltages which fluctuate sharply at nearly any frequency. A pulse width modulated (PWM) switching transistor is used with a choke inverter. The PWM switching transistor is input and output level responsive. A second transistor is connected to the switching transistor and is used to block operation of the switching transistor. The electronic device according to the invention supplies a constant output voltage even at input voltages between 70 and 264 volts and stimulates oscillation absolutely reliably even under maximum load. In addition, the device is suitable for DC and AC voltages of any frequency and merely requires a simply designed voltage regulating circuit that uses only ordinary components.
