Design Highlights
minimize fault and overload power. Drain voltage clamping
is provided by diode D4 and Zener diode VR1 with optional
components C4 and R2 to provide high frequency snubbing.
• Low cost 400 kHz flyback design
• Simple Zener referenced 12 V output
• Efficiency – 82% at 36 VDC and full load
• Low component count
• Accurate line OV and UV protection
• Thermal, short circuit and output overload protection
• No current sense components
The output is rectified by diode D2 with optional high
frequencydampingfromcomponentsC9,R15andR16. The
output capacitors are alternated to share the ripple current
evenly between the Oscon capacitors (C10-14) and the
ceramic capacitors (C15-C18). A final decoupling ceramic
capacitorC19isplacedattheoutputpinsofthepowersupply.
Operation
Output regulation is taken from the +12 V output. Zener
diode VR2 is DC-biased by resistor R7 with the opto-diode
of U2 providing feedback and resistor R6 programming the
gain. OptionalcapacitorC8implementsasoft-finishnetwork
to slow the rise of the output voltage at start-up.
