Design Highlights
• Meets Blue Angel efficiency requirements providing output
power of 3.9 W with 5 W input power
• Input undervoltage (UV) detect eliminates power-up/down
output glitches
• 132 kHz switching frequency allows small, low cost EEL19
based transformer to deliver 17 W
• Regulation derived from 3.3 V and 5 V outputs ensuring
±5%
regulation on both outputs
• 15 V output for primary side circuitry
• Primary soft-start minimizes start-up component stresses
voltage, the supply is disabled until 195 VDC is reached (this
threshold is typically the lowest operating DC input voltage
for a PC main power supply with a doubler input
configuration). On decreasing input voltage the supply
continues to operate until regulation is lost, even if this is
below the UV threshold. Once regulation is lost the input
voltage has to exceed the UV threshold again before the
supply is enabled.
During the first 10 ms of operation internal soft-start is
enabled. The duty cycle is linearly increased from 0% to
78% and the current limit from 70% to 100%, lowering
stresses on the internal power MOSFET, clamp and output
rectifier. Diode D1 and Zener VR1 are used to clamp the
leading-edge drain-voltage spikes caused by transformer
leakage inductance. At light load, a Zener clamp provides

Operation
The design in Figure 1 utilizes the TOP242Y and takes advantage
of many of the device’s features. Input UV is set at 195 VDC
using a single 3.9 MΩ resistor (R1). On increasing input

higher efficiency than an RCD clamp, maximizing available
output power for the Blue Angel 5 W input power limit.
A secondary shunt regulator (U3) together with R6, R7, R9,
R10 and R11 are used to sense both the 3.3 V and 5 V outputs.
Control loop compensation is accomplished with capacitor
C7, R5 and C5. Resistor R6 sets the DC gain while R7
provides bias to the TL431 (U3). The values shown provided
satisfactory phase margin and bandwidth.

Winding Details
Key Design Points
• Decoupling capacitor (C1) should be used if the standby
supply is far from the main input bulk capacitor.
• The value of R1 is set according to the equation:
R1 = (V
UV
- 2.5)/50
µA.
• Minimize secondary trace leakage inductance to improve
output cross regulation.
• Y1 capacitor (CY1) should be connected between secondary
return and primary positive DC rail to minimize potential
coupling into the
TOPSwitch-GX
SOURCE pin during
common mode line surge events.
• Connect bias winding return past SOURCE pin to route
common mode surge currents away from
TOPSwitch-GX.
• A soft-finish capacitor (C8) eliminates output start-up
overshoot.
• Capacitor C2 should be located close to U1.
