The switching frequency of U1 is set to 66 kHz by connecting
its F pin to the CONTROL pin. Efficient 66 kHz operation
results from the use of an EER3016S core to keep the number
ofprimaryturnslowandtofurtherreduceT1leakageinductance.
This reduces the losses due to both leakage inductance and
winding capacitance. Low leakage inductance also allows the
use of a low cost RCD snubber (C3, R2–R4 and D5) to clamp
the U1 DRAIN voltage, while keeping standby power
consumption low. Use of a glass-passivated normal recovery
diode (D5) recycles the stored leakage energy and increases the
overall efficiency. Resistor R4 dampens drain node ringing,
and is necessary when a normal recovery diode is used.
Design Highlights
• 66 kHz operation enables 0.45 W of standby output
power delivery with 0.9 W of input power at 230 VAC
• Low no-load input power: <0.42 W at 230 VAC
• 82% efficient (min) at 90 VAC input and 45 W output
• Low component count: only 52 parts!
• Meets CISPR22 B EMI with > 10 dB of margin
• No TVS required for the primary snubber
Operation
Many of the built-in features of TOPSwitch-GX, such as line
UV/OV, soft start, line feed-forward, accurate current limit,
and frequency jitter have been used to reduce the component

Resistor R5 sets nominal UV and OV limits to 84 V and 378 V,
respectively. Under-voltage lockout protects the supply from
overheating during brownout, and eliminates power-up and
