Design Highlights
winding, forward biasing D7, charging C7 and developing/
maintaining the output voltage across C7. The VBE of Q1 and
the VZ of VR1 determine the CV set point. The voltage across
R4, R5 and the U2-LED determine the CC set point.
• Universal input, no-load consumption < 300 mW
• Meets CISPR-22 Class B EMI without a Y capacitor
• Extremely simple circuit, requires only 32 components!
• Circuit has output cable voltage drop compensation
• Ultra-low Leakage current: < 5 µA at 265 VAC input
Resistors R7, R10 and diode D6 compensate for output-cable
voltage-drop. The CV portion of the output VI curve is flat,
at the end of the cable, because a current sense resistor (R10)
equal to the DC resistance of the output cable is in the voltage
feedback loop. Diode D6 implements temperature
compensation for the cable drop.
Operation
Fusible resistor RF1 provides short-circuit fault protection and

The combination of TinySwitch-II frequency jitter, the
outputdiodesnubber(R6andC5),theT1shieldwindingsand
careful primary clamp circuit component selection enable
compliance with CISPR-22, Class B conducted EMI limits,
without a Y-1 Safety capacitor. Eliminating the Y capacitor
gives this circuit very low (< 5 µA) AC leakage current.
Transformer (T1) has two shield windings (1-3 and 1-open)
which reduce the generation of EMI noise. Winding phasing
and D7 orientation let no secondary winding current flow when
the MOSFET in U1 is ON, so primary winding current stores
energy in the core of T1. When the MOSFET in U1 turns OFF,
the energy stored in T1 drives current out of the secondary
This circuit is suitable for portable electronics chargers.
