Abstract
A circuit for providing at least two power supply voltages from a D.C. voltage provided by a first switched-mode converter between a first and a second terminals, wherein: a second reversible buck-type switched-mode converter is powered with said D.C. voltage; a capacitive dividing bridge connects said first and second terminals, the midpoint of the capacitive dividing bridge corresponding to the output of the second converter and defining a third terminal of provision of an intermediary potential; and said two power supply voltages are respectively sampled between the first and third and between the third and second terminals.
