A DC power conversion circuit having self-auxiliary power and
self-protection against a short or open load circuit includes a DC
voltage source, a driving circuit, and an auxiliary circuit. The DC
voltage source is used for providing a DC power. The driving circuit
includes a switch, a first resistor, a control signal generator, a second
resistor, a diode and an inductor. The switch is used for conducting or
cutting off an electrical connection according to an incoming control
signal. The control signal generator senses voltage of the first resistor
to generate the control signal. The inductor is coupled between the first
resistor and a load circuit. The auxiliary circuit is parallel to the
inductor and includes an auxiliary capacitor and an auxiliary diode. The
auxiliary capacitor is coupled between the first resistor and the second
resistor. The auxiliary diode is coupled between the inductor and the
auxiliary capacitor.
