• Minimize primary and secondary high current loop areas
to reduce parasitic inductance.
• Optocoupler U2 should have a controlled CTR range of
100 to 200% for optimum loop stability.
• Size transformer reset components to ensure transformer
reset at minimum operating voltage without exceeding
170 V drain voltage at high line. It may be necessary to gap
T1 to offset effect of Q4-Q6 gate capacitance.
• Set Zener VR1 clamp voltage to 150 V to both safely limit
the DRAIN below BV
DSS
and guarantee transformer reset.
• Select number of bias turns to provide 12 V to 14 V at
minimum input voltage and full load.
• Main primary power return should be connected to the
DPA-Switch
tab, not to the SOURCE pin.
• Scale time constant of C9 and L2 to allow C9 to reset
completely during minimum on-time conditions.
• Consult AN-31 for additional design tips and information.
