Abstract

See full text

A charging circuit for charging/biasing high impedance loads such as capacitive loads. The circuit comprises an input for connecting to a voltage/charge source and an output for connecting to the load. A capacitor is connected between the output and a reference voltage such as ground and a reverse bias diode is connected between the input and the output terminals. The reverse bias diode is arranged to allow a reverse current to pass which is sufficient to compensate for current leakage at the output terminal or other parts of the circuit. The reverse bias diode is conveniently a polysilicon diode. The diode may be connected in parallel with a shunt device to allow for rapid charging during start up.
