Abstract

A circuit arrangement for producing an output voltage with a first polarity with respect to a reference-earth potential from an operating voltage with a second polarity with respect to the reference potential. The circuit arrangement operates on the basic principle that a first capacitor is charged, by means of a voltage rise on a coil after current has been removed from it, to a voltage which is positive with respect to the fixed reference-earth potential. During the on-phase of a transistor, the first capacitor charges a second capacitor to a voltage which is negative with respect to the fixed reference-earth potential and can be picked off from the outside. An electrical resistor is connected between the circuit output connection and the control line of the transistor.
