Design Highlights
(a similarly rated linear transformer adapter will typically
consume approximately 1 W under no-load). This low no-load
consumption is the result of the inherent cycle skipping feature
of the TinySwitch-II and careful transformer design.
•
Replaces a linear transformer based power supply at the
same or lower cost, but with much higher performance
<200 mW no-load consumption (at 115/230 VAC)
Meets CISPR 22-B with >15 dB margin, w/o Y capacitor
Low cost, low component count solution: only 24 parts!
TinySwitch-II On/Off regulation scheme produces ±5%
output regulation over temperature with a 2% Zener
Does not require a transformer bias winding

Key Design Points
•
Minimize secondary-side power consumption. Zener diode
VR1 receives its bias current from the opto-LED in U2.
Using a low current device minimizes consumption while
providing an output voltage tolerance of ±5%. A TL431
can be used for tighter output voltage accuracy.

Operation
•
•
•
Minimize clamp losses: design the transformer to have a low
reflected voltage (VOR). In this case, VOR was set to ≈ 90 V.
Minimize leakage inductance: select wire gauge sizes that
completely fill each winding layer of the transformer.
Minimize intra-winding capacitance and no-load
consumption: put a layer of tape between each primary
winding layer.
Use >200 kΩ resistor in the RCD clamp to further reduce
power losses if the following two conditions are met: 1) the
EMIperformanceisnotcompromised,and2)thereisenough
drain voltage (BVDSS) margin for the internal MOSFET.

inrush current. Inductors L1 and L2 and capacitors C1 and C2
form a low-cost pi (π) filter that attenuates conducted EMI. In
addition, the internal frequency jitter of the TinySwitch-II, the
use of shield windings, an output RC snubber, and a primary-
side RCD clamp makes the circuit meet CISPR-22 Class B
conducted EMI limits without aYcapacitor, resulting in a very
low value of AC leakage current (<300 µA).

The key performance characteristic of this circuit is the
extremely low no-load power consumption of <200 mW
