only as needed to minimize zero-load power consumption.
Resistors R3, R5 and R6 implement start-up undervoltage
lockout, which prevents the supply from starting below
180 VDC. Components R4, R14, Q1 and R30 implement an
independent undervoltage using the X pin, which allows the
supply to continue delivering power all the way down to
140 VDC (increasing hold-up time). Resistor R7 provides
additional hysteresis.
• 145 W cont. (160 W peak) in PC ATX form factor
• TOPSwitch-GX integrated features enable extremely low
component count
• Meets 1 W standby spec. (0.91 W input 0.5 W output)
• High efficiency (71% minimum)
• Integrated line undervoltage and overvoltage detection
• Low EMI due to frequency jitter
• SOURCE referenced TO-220 tab lowers conducted EMI
• Maximumdutycycle(DCMAX)reductionpreventstransformer
saturation for fault and transient loads
• Uses conventional magamp for 3.3 V output
• Meets CISPR22B/EN55022B conducted EMI
The primary side components D1, VR3-5 and C4, along with
secondary side C9 and R30, implement the Zener/capacitor
reset/clamp circuit. This circuit provides reset voltage for the
transformerandclampstheDRAINpinvoltagetoasafelevel
(<~600 V) under all conditions.
Operation
The reset circuit works in conjunction with the DCMAX
reduction circuit (R8, R36, C22, VR19 and D18) to limit the
maximum duty cycle and prevent transformer saturation
under fault and transient conditions.
TOPSwitch-GX integrates many features designed for use with
forwardconverters. TransistorsQ4, Q6, R1, R2, R3, R5andR6
form an active capacitor (C2, C3) balancing circuit, operating
