A powering circuit of an AC-DC converter, for converting a high AC input
voltage into a low DC output voltage to provide a load voltage in a
stable DC bias range, includes a rectifier, a sensing circuit, a control
switching circuit, and a voltage regulating capacitor. The rectifier has
a primary side coupled to an AC power supply and a secondary side for
outputting a DC power supply. The sensing circuit compares the AC input
voltage with a preset reference voltage, and turns on a second switch in
the control switching circuit when the AC input voltage is lower than the
reference voltage, thereby providing a low DC output voltage. The control
switching circuit sustains the DC output voltage in a stable DC bias
range. Therefore, in addition to reducing the power consumption of the
second switch, this circuit structure is simple and can achieve the
purpose of circuit integration.
