control circuitry is not high enough, then additional, separate
circuits will be required to accommodate all functions. Such
additional components raise the overall SMPS cost and not
uncommonly reduce reliability.
This application note considers the three major functional
blocks of an SMPS: Fairchild Power Switch (SPS) , flyback
converter, and transformer. It discusses a variety of issues
important to their design and use in the overall SMPS.
Fairchild Power Switches are highly-integrated ICs for
power supply applications. They combine a high-voltage
