maintaining the output voltage across C7. The RCD network
of C3, D5, R1 and R2 clamps the flyback voltage across the
primary winding, as the U1-MOSFET turns OFF.
•
Replaces a linear transformer based power supply at the
same or lower cost, with better output regulation
No-loadinputpowerconsumption<300mWat230VAC
input: meets worldwide energy efficiency guidelines
Extremely simple circuit – requires only 26 components!
Output voltage (CV) tolerance: ±5% at peak power
point
•
The bias/feedback winding provides U1 with CONTROL pin
current. In CV mode, that current is controlled by the U2-
phototransistor. At start-up and in CC mode, when U2 is OFF,
R5 provides the feedback path. Diode D6 is in the return leg of
thewinding,makingitshieldthecorefromtheprimarywinding.
The bias winding and the primary-to-secondary shield winding
both reduce EMI.

Meets EN550022 B EMI without a Y-1 Safety capacitor
Ultra-low leakage current: < 5 µA at 265 VAC input
CONTROL pin capacitor C6 stores energy and supplies it to
U1 at start-up, determines the “restart attempt rate” in the auto-
restart mode, shunts high frequency switching noise around U1
and provides U1 with the instantaneous MOSFET gate-drive
current it requires. The combined voltages of VR1, R7 and the
U2-LED determine the output voltage. Resistor R8 provides
bias current to VR1. The output voltage can be fine-tuned by
adjusting the values of R7 and R8.
Operation
Fusible resistor RF1 gives short-circuit fault protection and
limits start-up inrush current. Inductors L1 and L2 and

conducted EMI. Transformer (T1) winding phasing and D7
orientation let no secondary winding current flow when the
U1-MOSFETisON, sotheprimarywindingcurrentstoresits
energy in the core of T1. When the U1-MOSFET turns OFF,
the energy stored in T1 drives current out of the secondary
winding, forward biasing D7, charging C7 and developing/

L = transformer primary inductance, I = LinkSwitch
peak current, f = Switching frequency. I2f is accurately
controlled for LinkSwitch; therefore PO is proportional to L.
