The TinySwitch-II frequency jitter feature and transformer
construction allow use of a simple filter (L1, L2, C1 and C2)
to meet EMI requirements with L2 used to attenuate high
frequency EMI in the radiated spectrum (>30 MHz). The
circuit also uses a low cost RCD clamp (C7, D5, R3, and R4).
Diode D5 is a Glass Passivated (GP) general purpose diode,
allowing partial recovery of the leakage energy by
recirculating clamp current during the D5 reverse recovery
time, thusimprovingefficiency. ResistorR3reducesEMIby
limiting the peak D5 reverse current and thus softening its
recovery characteristic.
Design Highlights
• Simple design: low parts count (23)
• <300 mW no-load without transformer bias winding
• Frequency jittering reduces EMI - meets EN55022 Class B
withnoYcapacitor:verylowprimary-to-secondaryleakage
current
• ±7% output tolerance with simple Zener reference
• High Frequency (132 kHz) operation allows small, low cost
EE16 transformer
• Built-in thermal shutdown protection
• ON/OFF digital regulation: No analog control loop to
compensate
The combined voltage drops of Zener diode (VR7) and
optocoupler diode (U2) set the output voltage. Resistor R7
biases VR7 according to its specification. The TinySwitch-II

voltage tolerance with this simple Zener reference.
Operation
Figure 1 is a simple flyback converter utilizing several
TinySwitch-II built-in features such as switching frequency
jittering, thermal shutdown and auto-restart fault protection.
DuetothedigitalnatureoftheTinySwitch-II controlscheme,
no loop compensation is required. In addition, the current
transfer ratio (CTR) of the optocoupler is not critical and no
DC gain setting resistor in series with VR7 is required.
Typical applications are wall mount adapters and other AC/DC
applications requiring very low cost and small size. The ability
to meet EMI requirements with no Y capacitor makes this
circuitidealforapplicationsrequiringlowprimary-to-secondary
leakage currents.
