Design Highlights
• High efficiency: 84% at 85 VAC (with 50 ˚C external
ambient temperature)
• Low component count and high power density, 7 W/in.

• Very compact design (4.1 in.
×
2.225 in.
×
1.06 in.)
• No surface mount components required
• Low zero load power consumption, <370 mW at 115 VAC
• Approximately constant overload power with line voltage
• Line undervoltage detection (UV) and overvoltage (OV)
shutdown
• Low EMI - switching frequency jitter helps meet CISPR22B/
EN55022B limits
• Fully protected for overload, short circuit and thermal faults
Operation
The design utilizes a TOP249Y in a flyback converter
providing a 70 W output in a sealed enclosure at an external
ambient of 50 ˚C. Line UV and OV (100 V and 450 V,
respectively) are implemented using a single 2 MΩ resistor
(R1). Undervoltage eliminates power-up/down glitches and
overvoltage provides line transient and long duration power
system surge protection. Resistor R10 programs the internal
current limit to 75% of nominal at the UV threshold. As a
function of input voltage the current limit is further reduced
by R9 to provide approximately constant overload power.
The larger
TOPSwitch-GX
selection reduces conduction
losses, raising efficiency (without circuit changes or increased
overload power) and permits a higher inductance design for
reduced primary RMS currents, further increasing efficiency.

DI-22
To reduce winding and diode dissipation the secondary is split
into two windings and diode OR’ed into the output capacitors
(C2, 3). Regulation is provided by a secondary side reference
(U3), the output voltage sensed by R4, R13 and R6.

Key Design Points
• D1 and VR1 clamp leakage inductance spikes. A Zener
clamp provides lower zero load consumption than an RCD
clamp and higher efficiency below full load.
• C11 reduces VR1 dissipation, raising efficiency.
• Additional differential filtering is provided by C13 and L3.
• C12 provides high frequency bypass, reducing high
frequency EMI.
• Use foil windings to reduce dissipation and reduce leakage
inductance.
• Sandwich secondary winding between two halves of
primary to reduce leakage inductance.
• High core temperature reduces saturation flux density.
Keep flux density below 3000 gauss (0.3 T) to prevent
saturation.
• Use 100 V Schottky diodes for highest efficiency.
• Good layout practices should be followed:
- Locate C8, R3, C5, R9, R10 and R11 close to U1.
- Power and signal source currents should be separated,
joined using a Kelvin connection at the SOURCE pin.
- Minimize the primary and secondary loop areas to reduce
parasitic leakage and EMI.
• Consult DAK-11 and EPR-11 for more information.
