Abstract:
Described is a supply circuit for a corona ignition device, with an input for connection to a direct voltage source, a first converter, a second converter, and an output for connecting a load. The two converters each generate an output voltage, which is provided on its secondary side and exceeds the input voltage. The two converters each contain a transformer that galvanically separates the primary side of the converter from its secondary side. At least one transistor switch is arranged between the input and primary side of the two converters for pulse width-modulation of the input voltage. The primary side of the second converter is connected in parallel with the primary side of the first converter, the secondary side of the second converter is connected in series with the secondary side of the first converter, the secondary sides of the two converters are each bridged in this series connection by at least one diode, so that an output voltage can be provided at the output of the supply circuit even given a failure of one of the two converters.
