First Claim
1. Device for generating a power supply voltage (Vf) referenced to a first reference potential, in an electronic system comprising a first excitation source configured for generating said first reference potential and referenced to a second reference potential so as to impose an alternating current (AC) voltage difference between these reference potentials, the device comprising:
- an AC voltage supply source referenced to said second reference potential, generating said first reference potential, and encompassing said first excitation source, andrectifying and filtering means connected to said first reference potential and to said AC voltage supply source to generate, at an output, the power supply voltage (Vf) referenced to said first reference potential by rectification of a voltage at terminals of the AC voltage supply source.
