A switching regulator includes a transformer having a primary winding and
an auxiliary winding connected to the supply rail of the switching
regulator. The primary winding is coupled to the positive supply rail.
The auxiliary winding is coupled to the negative supply rail. A switch is
connected in series with the primary winding and the auxiliary winding
for switching the transformer. A control circuit is coupled to the switch
and the auxiliary winding to generate a switching signal for switching
the switch and regulating the output of the switching regulator. A
supplied capacitor is connected to the control circuit to supply the
power to the control circuit. The auxiliary winding having a leakage
inductor stores a stored energy when the switch is on. A diode is coupled
from the negative supply rail to the supplied capacitor. The stored
energy of the leakage inductor is discharged to the supplied capacitor
through the diode once the switch is off. The connection of the
transformer and the switch improves the efficiency and reduces the EMI.
