Summary and Features
•
•
Low cost, low component count battery charger/adapter – replaces linear transformer
based solutions
Optimized switching characteristics and low-side configuration of LNK520 minimizes
EMI
-
-
-
Achieves greater than 10 dBµV margin to composite conducted limits
No Y1 safety capacitor required for EMI compliance
Ultra-low earth leakage current, <5 µA
•
•
•
Small low cost EE16 transformer
-
Provision for EE13 transformer for smaller size
Approximate constant voltage, constant current (CV/CC) primary sensed output
characteristic
Efficiency greater than 65% across all line/load conditions
