Design Highlights

•
•
Extremely low component count
High efficiency – 85% using Schottky rectifiers
No current sense resistor or transformer required
Accurate input under/over voltage meets ETSI standards
Operates to zero load with no pre-load required
Output overload, open loop and thermally protected
400 kHz operation minimizes size of magnetics
Resistor R3 programs the internal current limit of the
DPA425R to 50% of nominal. The larger
DPA-Switch
selection reduces conduction losses, raising efficiency without
circuit changes or increased overload power.
Zener VR1 clamps leakage inductance spikes, keeping the
DRAIN voltage below BV
DSS
. The bias supply for U1 is
provided from an auxiliary flyback transformer winding.
On the secondary, a snubber across D2 (C9, R5 and R13)
limits the secondary leakage inductance spikes generated by
diode reverse recovery. Inductor L2, C13 and C14 form a
post-filter to reduce high frequency output switching ripple.
A soft-finish network, C18, D3 and R7, eliminates output
turn-on overshoot. The remaining components provide output
voltage regulation and loop compensation.

Operation
DPA-Switch
greatly simplifies the design compared to a discrete
implementation. Resistor R1 programs the input under/over
voltages to 33 V and 86 V, respectively. Including tolerances
these thresholds guarantee the converter is operational between
36 V and 75 V, without the cost of additional line sense
components.

Key Design Points
• For nominal under-voltage set point V
UV
:
R1 = (V
UV
-2.35 V)/50µA. V
OV
= (R1×135
µA)+2.5
V.
• Zener VR1 voltage is 130 V to safely limit the DRAIN
voltage below V
DSS
of 200 V.
• Opto U2 should have a CTR of between 100% and 200%
for optimum loop stability.
• Set resonance of L2 and C13 + C14 to beyond loop
crossover frequency (typically 5% to 10% of switching
frequency).
• Good layout practices should be followed:
- Locate C5, C6 and R4 close to U1, with grounds
returned to the SOURCE pin.
- Primary return should be connected to the
DPA-Switch
tab, not the SOURCE pin.
- Minimize the primary and secondary loop areas to
reduce parasitic leakage inductance.
