Design Highlights
TheLNK562device(U1)providesprimarysidesensedoutput
voltage and current regulation, eliminating the need for an
optocoupler. Using the PI Transformer Designer software,
shield windings were included in the transformer design.
This allowed the circuit to meet EN55022 B conducted EMI
limits without the use of a Y-rated safety capacitor bridging
the primary to secondary isolation barrier.
• Simple, low-cost, low parts count CV/CC solution
• Low no-load input power: <180 mW at 265 VAC
• Dramatically improved regulation over line frequency
linear transformer
• Meets CEC / ENERGY STAR requirements for active
mode efficiency (63% vs. 53% requirement)
• Small, low-cost EE16 core size allows compact design
• >15 dBµV margin to EN55022B conducted EMI limits
• No Y-capacitor gives low (<10 µA) line frequency
leakage current
The AC input is rectified and filtered by D1, D2 and C1,
C6. The input capacitance is split to form a π filter with
L1 and L3, with R5 damping the self resonance. Varistor
RV1 provides surge protection for differential surges while
RF1 provides filtering and fusing. The internal MOSFET of
U1 drives the transformer primary, but the normal primary
clamp network is not required due to the low current limit of
U1. Skipping switching cycles based on the voltage sensed
from the bias winding provides output regulation. Should
the output of the supply be overloaded, then U1 lowers the
switching frequency to limit the output current until ~2 V,
when the unit enters auto-restart.
• Meets 10 kV common mode and 2 kV differential mode
surge (EN 1000-4-5 Class 4)
Operation
Supplies for cordless phones or answering machines often
require a 10 kV common mode surge withstand capability
to prevent damage to the telephone network during local
lightning strikes. The design shown in Figure 1 meets this
requirement while still being simple and low cost.
