- Figure 1. This converter circuit uses a third wire connected upstream of the power switch to «kick-start» operation at less than 250 mV, while using a BJT rather than a JFET or germanium transistor
- Figure 2. A variant of the circuit in Figure 1 eliminates the third wire, but performance is not as good as the three-wire circuit
