Abstract

The invention is directed to an electronic switched-mode power supply for supplying power to an accumulator (61), comprising a self-oscillating flyback converter having a transformer (50), a switching transistor (1) with an emitter resistor (22) and a feedback circuit (11, 27). A control circuit (St) inhibits conduction of the switching transistor (1) when the switching voltage at the accumulator (61) has reached a predetermined upper level (A). A switching arrangement (SE) lowers the upper switching voltage (A) to a lower switching voltage (B) when, with the switched-mode power supply in the pulsed mode, the ratio of the duration of oscillation pauses to the duration of oscillation bursts exceeds a specified magnitude.
