    Abstract: An apparatus includes a pulse-width modulation (PWM) generator configured to generate a PWM signal for controlling a power switch of a power converter, a bias switch and a bias capacitor connected in series and coupled to a magnetic winding of the power converter and a comparator having a first input connected to the bias capacitor, a second input connected to a predetermined reference and an output configured to generate a signal for controlling the bias switch to allow a magnetizing current from the magnetic winding to charge the bias capacitor when a voltage across the bias capacitor is less than the predetermined reference.
