TinySwitch RD9 Rev. B ® 1.31 in. (33.2 mm) 3.86 in. (97.9 mm) PI-2313-0092398 Figure 1. RD9 Board Overall Physical Dimensions. Description T1 C1 D1 POWER L D2 D3 L1 R2 The RD9 is a special printed circuit board (Figure 1) designed for rapid prototyping of TinySwitch-based flyback power supplies in the 1-3 W range. Component positions and an optimized layout are provided for a complete single output power supply as shown in Figure 2. Component size and placement are identical to evaluation board RD8. The board is designed to accommodate a transformer using an EE16 core with a 10 pin bobbin (Ying Chin YC-1607 or equivalent*). In addition to the power supply circuitry, the RD9 also provides a prototyping area on the secondary side of the board for circuitry such as additional outputs or voltage and current regulators. Some typical application circuits that can be constructed using the RD9 printed circuit board can be found in the TinySwitch and RD8 data sheets, and Design Ideas DI-4 through DI-8.

For extremely rapid prototyping, the RD8 TinySwitch evaluation board and the RD9 prototyping board are perforated between the primary and secondary circuit areas, so that the primary half of the RD8 can be separated and combined with the secondary half of the RD9. * Available from B&B Products Corp +1 (520) 884-4818 September 1998 RD9 L1 3 T1 L2 Bead D5 8-10 Output C6 D1 R2 D R1 R4 AC Input C1 Fusible C2 RTN 5-7 4 D2 C7 TinySwitch EN BP U1 U2 S C3 D3 D4 C4 VR1 C5 PI-2315-092298 Figure 3. Schematic Diagram of a Typical RD9 Circuit. Using RD8 and RD9 Together A complete RD9 board is shown in Figure 4, and an RD8 board in Figure 5. To combine the secondary side of RD9 with the primary side of RD8, follow the instructions below: Figure 4. RD9 Printed Circuit Board. 2 A 9/98 Figure 5. RD8 Printed Circuit Board. RD9 • Break the RD9 board along the perforations to separate the primary and secondary halves. The secondary half of the board contains the prototyping area (Figure 6). Figure 6. Prepared RD9 Board. • Prepare the RD8 board by removing T1, C5, and U2. Set these aside for reuse. Break the board along the perforations to separate the primary and secondary circuitry. The board should then look as shown in Figure 7. Figure 7. Prepared RD8 Board. • Fit the primary half of RD8 and the secondary half of RD9 together, using T1, C5, and U2 removed from the RD8 board to bridge between the two board halves (Figure 8). A different transformer can be substituted for T1. Use the cores and bobbins suggested in the text for best mechanical fit. Figure 8. Combined RD8 and RD9.
