® Design Idea DI-28 ® TinySwitch-II 3 W Charger: <30 mW No-load Consumption Application Device Power Output Input Voltage Output Voltage Topology Charger TNY264P 3W 85-265 VAC 5 V, 600 mA Flyback the internal current source at no-load. Other load conditions are not important as the device will be powered from the DRAIN pin if bias is lost, allowing a simple flyback winding to be used. Figure 2 shows that the bias winding and choice of R2 should provide approximately 550 µA at no-load to minimize consumption. Design Highlights • Less than 30 mW no-load power consumption (for 115/230 VAC input) • Meets CISPR-22 Class B without Y capacitor • Low cost, low component count solution Operation The circuit meets CISPR-22 Class B conducted EMI limits without a Y capacitor and therefore has very low AC leakage current. TinySwitch-II frequency jitter, use of the bias winding as a shield and capacitor C3 to soften leakage inductance spikes combine to provide the EMI performance. The TinySwitch-II flyback converter in Figure 1 generates a constant voltage, constant current (CV/CC) 5 V, 600 mA output. Typical applications include wall-mounted chargers for cell phones, PDAs and other battery powered portable equipment. Key Design Points The key performance characteristic of the circuit shown is the extremely low no-load consumption of <30 mW. A linear transformer charger of similar rating will typically consume 1 W to 4 W at no-load. At $0.12/kWh, the TinySwitch-II can therefore reduce energy costs by $1 to $4 per year. • Design bias winding circuit to provide approximately 550 µA at no-load. Figure 2 shows the details. • Minimize secondary circuit bias currents. Use low current feedback Zeners for best tolerance. The very low bias current in this design will provide approximately ±10% output voltage tolerance. A precision reference (e.g. TL431) can be used to reduce this if required. • Design transformer with low reflected voltage to minimize clamp losses. A bigger device (TNY266) may help to further reduce VOR. • Wind transformer for lowest leakage inductance. Choose wire gauges to completely fill winding layers. • Winding transformer with tape between primary layers further reduces intra-winding capacitance and no-load consumption. The no-load performance is achieved by using a transformer bias winding as a low voltage source for TinySwitch-II operating current. Even without this winding, a TinySwitch-II circuit will consume <300 mW at no-load. However, by providing external bias, the internal high voltage current source, which normally powers the IC from the DRAIN pin, is disabled and a further reduction in consumption is therefore achieved. The bias winding should provide enough current to fully disable 1 L1 1.0 mH RF1 8.2 Ω 1.0 W D1 1N4005 VR1 BZY97C200 D2 1N4005 D5 1N4937 C3 2.2 nF 1 kV 105T 33 AWG 2 L C1 4.7 µF 400 V 85 - 265 VAC C2 4.7 µF 400 V 8 D7 11DQ06 8T 24 AWG C6 470 µF 10 V R3 1.5 kΩ 7 D6 1N4148 3 13T x2 C5 31 AWG 47 µF 16 V 4 R2 5.1 kΩ Q1 2N3906 TinySwitch-II U1 TNY264P N D R4 820 Ω D4 1N4005 L2 Bead 2.2 µH +5 VDC C7 100 µF 10 V VR3 BZX79B5V1 EN BP D3 1N4005 L3 Ferrite Bead S U2 C4 0.1 µF 50 V U2 PC817A R5 2.7 Ω 2W RTN PI-3079-091402 Figure 1.
