Operation
TheꢀisolatedꢀflybackꢀconverterꢀshownꢀinꢀFigureꢀ1ꢀwasꢀdesignedꢀ
aroundꢀaꢀmemberꢀofꢀtheꢀPeakSwitchꢀICꢀfamily,ꢀtheꢀPKS606Pꢀ
(U1).ꢀAꢀdeviceꢀinꢀtheꢀPꢀpackageꢀ(8-pinꢀDIP)ꢀwasꢀselectedꢀtoꢀ
minimizeꢀtheꢀcostꢀandꢀsizeꢀofꢀtheꢀheatsinkꢀrequiredꢀforꢀpeakꢀ
powerꢀdelivery.
Onꢀtheꢀsecondaryꢀsideꢀofꢀtheꢀisolationꢀbarrier,ꢀD7ꢀrectifiesꢀtheꢀ
outputꢀofꢀT1ꢀandꢀchargesꢀC7ꢀandꢀC16.ꢀTheꢀsnubberꢀcircuitꢀ
(R5ꢀandꢀC10)ꢀacrossꢀD7ꢀattenuatesꢀtheꢀhighꢀfrequencyꢀringꢀ
thatꢀoccursꢀwhenꢀD7ꢀturnsꢀoff.ꢀ
Theꢀinputꢀcircuitryꢀconsistsꢀofꢀaꢀfuseꢀ(F1)ꢀandꢀEMIꢀfilterꢀ
componentsꢀ(R6,ꢀC9,ꢀL8,ꢀL4,ꢀC12,ꢀR9,ꢀR8ꢀandꢀC13).ꢀTheꢀACꢀ
inputꢀisꢀrectifiedꢀ(D1–D4)ꢀandꢀfilteredꢀ(C2)ꢀandꢀconnectedꢀ
acrossꢀtheꢀprimaryꢀsideꢀpowerꢀcomponentsꢀ(T1ꢀandꢀU1).
Outputꢀvoltageꢀfeedbackꢀisꢀderivedꢀfromꢀtwoꢀseparateꢀcircuits.ꢀ
TheꢀcircuitꢀformedꢀbyꢀVR2,ꢀtheꢀLEDꢀinꢀU2,ꢀC19ꢀandꢀR16ꢀ
providesꢀtheꢀhighꢀfrequencyꢀ(HF)ꢀportionꢀofꢀtheꢀfeedbackꢀ

Zenerꢀclampꢀcircuitꢀ(L2,ꢀD5,ꢀR7,ꢀC11ꢀandꢀVR1)ꢀprotectsꢀtheꢀ
