Current-supply arrangement for an electronic remote control receiver

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Referring now to the drawing it is to be recognized that throughout the various embodiments the same elements have been generally designated by the same reference characters.
FIG.
1 shows a current supply arrangement 1 in which a series circuit comprising a protective impedance 4, a capacitor 5 and a full-wave rectifier 6 is connected between a first input terminal 2 intended for connection to an alternating-current supply and a second such input terminal 3.
The full-wave rectifier 6 comprises two oppositely poled diodes 6' and 6", followed by a series connection of two storage capacitors 8' and 8".
The point or junction 8'" at which the two storage capacitors 8' and 8" are connected to one another is connected to the other input terminal 3.
A voltage limiter 7 is associated with the full-wave rectifier 6.
The voltage limiter is in the form of a Zener diode 7 connected in parallel with the d.
c.
voltage terminals of the full-wave rectifier 6.
These d.
c.
voltage terminals of the full-wave rectifier 6 are connected to the output terminals 9 and 10.
FIG.
2 shows a current supply arrangement 1' which also embodies a series circuit comprising a protective impedance 4, a capacitor 5 and a full-wave rectifier 6*.
In this embodiment, however, the full-wave rectifier 6* is bridge connected.
The series circuit leads from the input terminal 2 via the protective impedance 4, the capacitor 5 and the alternating-current terminals 11 and 12 to the other input terminal 3.
A voltage limiter 7* is again associated with the full-wave rectifier 6* in the form of two Zener diodes 7' and 7" arranged in series with opposite polarity, and which diodes are connected to the alternating-current terminals 11 and 12 of the full-wave rectifier 6*.
The storage capacitor 8 and the output terminals 9 and 10 are connected to the direct-current terminals 13 and 14 of the full-wave rectifier 6*.
FIG.
3 shows a current supply arrangement 1" which, like the embodiment illustrated in FIG
