Design Idea DI-124 ® LinkSwitch-TN Ultra-wide Input Range (57-580 VAC) Flyback Power Supply Application Device Power Output Input Voltage Output Voltage Topology Metering / Industrial LNK304 3W 57-580 VAC 12 V, 250 mA StackFET Flyback Design Highlights • A 600 V MOSFET, Q1, and U1 are arranged in the StackFET configuration (cascode). The drain of U1 drives the source of Q1 while the drain of Q1 drives the transformer primary. The drain voltage of U1 is limited to 450 V by VR1-3. This extends the maximum peak composite drain voltage of U1 and Q1 to 1050 V. The resistor chain R6-R8 provides startup charge for the gate of Q1 and R9 dampens high-frequency ringing. Once the converter is operating, the gate is largely driven by the charge stored in the capacitance of VR1-3. Zener VR4 limits the gate to source voltage of Q1. Leakage inductance energy is clamped by VR5 and D9 with R10 added to reduce ringing and thereby, EMI. StackFET flyback topology delivers full load over extremely wide input voltage range E-ShieldTM transformer construction for reduced common-mode EMI (>10 dBµV margin) 66 kHz switching frequency with jitter reduces conducted EMI Simple ON/OFF controller – no feedback compensation required Auto-restart function for automatic and self-resetting open-loop, overload and short circuit protection Built-in hysteretic thermal shutdown at 135 ºC TM • • • • • The operation of U1 is unaffected by the StackFET configuration. When the internal MOSFET turns on, Q1 is also turned on, applying the input voltage across the transformer primary. Once the primary current reaches the internal current limit of U1, the MOSFET is turned off and the energy stored is delivered to the output. Regulation is maintained using ON/OFF control. Switching cycles are enabled/disabled based on current into the FEEDBACK pin of U1. This is ideal as it results in a lowering of the effective switching frequency Operation The AC input is rectified and filtered and the resultant DC applied to one end of the transformer primary winding. The 450 V input capacitors are stacked with parallel balancing resistors to meet the required voltage rating. Resistors R1 to R4 provide fusing in case of a catastrophic failure. Inductor L1, C1 and transformer E-Shield windings allow the design to meet EN55022 B conducted limits with good margin.

DI-124 September 2006 DI-89 DI-124 75 Efficiency (%) 70 Key Design Points • The input stage (to the left of C9) can be omitted in applications that have a high-voltage DC bus. Capacitor C9 is still required to provide local decoupling. • Long cores (EEL) are ideal for this application to provide greater bobbin width to accommodate the increased margins required to meet safety spacings at the high operating voltage. • Zener diodes VR1-3 can be replaced with a single P6KE540 device. • The value of capacitors C5 to C8 can be reduced to 10 µF if operation down to 57 VAC is not required (100 VAC minimum). • Use 0.5 W resistors for R13-16 and R6-8 to provide adequate voltage rating. • Efficiency falls at high line due to switching losses. Reducing transformer capacitance by adding layers of tape between the primary winding layers minimizes this. 70 45 40 50 dBµV 350 450 550 TRANSFORMER PARAMETERS Core Material Bobbin EEL16, gap for ALG of 70 nH/T2 6+4 pin (Ying Chin YC-1604-1) with 3 mm + 3 mm tape margins AV Winding Order (pin numbers) Shield (5-NC), tape, primary (7-5), tape between layers, shield (9-10), tape, 12 V / (4-1), tape QP Inductance Primary: 3.5 mH ±10% Leakage: 160 µH (max) Primary Resonant 500 kHz (min) Frequency AV 0 Table 1.
