Design Highlights
• 180 W cont. (200 W peak) in PC SFX form factor
• Includes passive power factor correction (PFC)
•
TOPSwitch-GX
integrated features enable extremely low
component count
• Meets 1 W standby spec (0.91 W input, 0.5 W output)
• High efficiency (71% minimum)
• Integrated line undervoltage and overvoltage detection
• Low EMI due to frequency jitter
• SOURCE referenced TO-220 tab lowers conducted EMI
• Maximum duty cycle reduction (DC
MAX
) prevents transformer
saturation for fault and transient loads
• Uses conventional magamp for 3.3 V output
• Meets CISPR22B/EN55022B conducted EMI
C3) balancing circuit, operating only as needed to minimize
zero-load power consumption.
Resistors R3, R5 and R6 implement start-up undervoltage
lockout, which prevents the supply from starting below
180 VDC. Components R4, R14, Q1 and R30 implement an
independent undervoltage using the X pin, which allows the
supply to continue delivering power all the way down to
140 VDC (increasing holdup time). Resistor R7 provides
additional hysteresis.
The primary side components D1, VR3-5 and C4, along with
secondary side C9 and R30, implement the Zener/capacitor
reset/clamp circuit. This circuit provides reset voltage for the
transformer and clamps the DRAIN pin voltage to a safe level
(<~600 V) under all conditions.
The reset circuit works in conjunction with the DC
MAX
reduction circuit (R8, R36, C22, VR19 and D18) to limit the
maximum duty cycle and prevent transformer saturation
under fault and transient conditions.

The components R12, C7, R38, Q7, C23, R37, U3, R106 and
D105 implement the remote ON/OFF drive circuit. During
the ON state, U3 and hence Q7 conduct, pulling the X pin to
SOURCE via resistor R12 (which sets the current limit).
During the OFF state, U3 and Q7 are off, allowing the X pin
to be pulled high by the +15 V standby supply via R38 and R12
and putting the
TOPSwitch-GX
into the OFF state. Components
R38 and D105 reduce device consumption to around 2mW by
supplying external current to the CONTROL pin from the
+15 V standby supply. Resistor R11 is required to allow
external bias feed.

reduction to prevent transformer saturation.
• Maintain maximum flux density on transformer (T1)
< 2500 gauss.
• Check for balanced currents on coupled inductor (L1) for
all load combinations.
• Use
PI Expert
(PIXls) Design Spreadsheet and refer to
Application Note AN-30 for details on designing forward
converters with
TOPSwitch-GX.
This particular PC SFX 12 specification delivers a larger
proportion of power on the 12 V winding; efficiency would be
lower if that power were drawn from the 3.3 V output.
Due to the complexity of this design it is not possible to include
all details in this Design Idea. An Engineering Prototype Report
(EPR) will be available for this design Dec. 2000. For updates
and all other information please refer to Power Integrations'
