Constant Primary Peak Current
The primary iP(t) current is sensed by a current sense resistor RCS as shown in Figure 1.
The current rises up linearly at a rate of:

Figure 2. Primary Current Waveform
As illustrated in Figure 2, when the current iP(t) rises up to IPK, the switch Q1 turns off. The constant peak current is given by:

The energy stored in the magnetizing inductance LM each cycle is therefore:

So the power transferring from input to output is given by:

Where fSW is the switching frequency. When the peak current IPK is constant, the output power depends on the switching frequency fSW
.
Constant Voltage Operation
The AP3983B/C/D captures the auxiliary winding feedback voltage at FB pin and operates in constant-voltage (CV) mode to regulate the output
voltage. Assuming the secondary winding is master, the auxiliary winding is slave during the D1 on-time. The auxiliary voltage is given by:
