US Patent 7755298 Power supply circuit with soft start circuit

An exemplary power supply circuit (20) includes a scaler (21), a field-effect transistor (23), a pulse width modulation circuit (25), and a capacitor (29). The scaler includes an output port (213). The pulse width modulation circuit includes an input port (251). The input port of the pulse width modulation circuit is grounded via the capacitor. The field-effect transistor includes a gate electrode (231), a source electrode (232), and a drain electrode (233). The gate electrode is connected to the output port of the scaler. The source electrode is grounded. The drain electrode is connected to the input port of the pulse width modulation circuit.
