Y Package Option for TOP259-261
In order to improve noise-immunity on large TOPSwitch-HX Y
package parts, the F pin has been removed (TOP259-261YN are
ﬁxed at 66 kHz switching frequency) and replaced with a SIGNAL
GROUND (G) pin. This pin acts as a low noise path for the C pin
capacitor and the X pin resistor. It is only required for the
TOP259-261YN package parts.

Like TOPSwitch-GX, TOPSwitch-HX is an integrated switched
mode power supply chip that converts a current at the control
input to a duty cycle at the open drain output of a high voltage
power MOSFET. During normal operation the duty cycle of the
power MOSFET decreases linearly with increasing CONTROL
pin current as shown in Figure 9.
In addition to the three terminal TOPSwitch features, such as
the high voltage start-up, the cycle-by-cycle current limiting,
loop compensation circuitry, auto-restart and thermal
shutdown, the TOPSwitch-HX incorporates many additional
functions that reduce system cost, increase power supply
performance and design ﬂexibility. A patented high voltage
CMOS technology allows both the high-voltage power MOSFET
and all the low voltage control circuitry to be cost effectively
integrated onto a single monolithic chip.
Three terminals, FREQUENCY, VOLTAGE-MONITOR, and
EXTERNAL CURRENT LIMIT (available in Y and E packages),
two terminals, VOLTAGE-MONITOR and EXTERNAL CURRENT
LIMIT (available in M package) or one terminal MULTIFUNCTION (available in P and G package) have been used to
implement some of the new functions. These terminals can be
connected to the SOURCE pin to operate the TOPSwitch-HX in
a TOPSwitch-like three terminal mode. However, even in this

Control Pin Characteristics (Multi-Mode Operation).
three terminal mode, the TOPSwitch-HX offers many
transparent features that do not require any external
components:
1. A fully integrated 17 ms soft-start signiﬁcantly reduces or
eliminates output overshoot in most applications by sweeping
both current limit and frequency from low to high to limit the
peak currents and voltages during start-up.
2. A maximum duty cycle (DCMAX) of 78% allows smaller input
storage capacitor, lower input voltage requirement and/or
higher power capability.
3. Multi-mode operation optimizes and improves the power
supply efﬁciency over the entire load range while maintaining
good cross regulation in multi-output supplies.
4. Switching frequency of 132 kHz reduces the transformer size
with no noticeable impact on EMI.
5. Frequency jittering reduces EMI in the full frequency mode at
high load condition.

Rev. B 02/08
TOP252-261
6. Hysteretic over-temperature shutdown ensures automatic
recovery from thermal fault. Large hysteresis prevents circuit
board overheating.
7. Packages with omitted pins and lead forming provide large
drain creepage distance.
8. Reduction of the auto-restart duty cycle and frequency to
improve the protection of the power supply and load during
open loop fault, short circuit, or loss of regulation.
9. Tighter tolerances on I2f power coefﬁcient, current limit
reduction, PWM gain and thermal shutdown threshold.
The VOLTAGE-MONITOR (V) pin is usually used for line sensing
by connecting a 4 MΩ resistor from this pin to the rectiﬁed DC
high voltage bus to implement line overvoltage (OV), undervoltage (UV) and dual-slope line feed-forward with DCMAX
reduction. In this mode, the value of the resistor determines the
OV/UV thresholds and the DCMAX is reduced linearly with a dual
slope to improve line ripple rejection. In addition, it also
provides another threshold to implement the latched and
hysteretic output overvoltage protection (OVP). The pin can
also be used as a remote ON/OFF using the IUV threshold.
The EXTERNAL CURRENT LIMIT (X) pin can be used to reduce
the current limit externally to a value close to the operating peak
current, by connecting the pin to SOURCE through a resistor.
This pin can also be used as a remote ON/OFF input.
For the P and G package the VOLTAGE-MONITOR and
EXTERNAL CURRENT LIMIT pin functions are combined on
one MULTI-FUNCTION (M) pin. However, some of the functions
become mutually exclusive.
The FREQUENCY (F) pin in the TOP254-258 Y and E packages
set the switching frequency in the full frequency PWM mode to
the default value of 132 kHz when connected to SOURCE pin.
A half frequency option of 66 kHz can be chosen by connecting
this pin to the CONTROL pin instead. Leaving this pin open is
not recommended. In the P, G and M packages and the
TOP259-261 Y packages, the frequency is set internally at
66 kHz in the full frequency PWM mode.
CONTROL (C) Pin Operation
The CONTROL pin is a low impedance node that is capable of
receiving a combined supply and feedback current. During
normal operation, a shunt regulator is used to separate the
feedback signal from the supply current. CONTROL pin voltage
VC is the supply voltage for the control circuitry including the
MOSFET gate driver. An external bypass capacitor closely
connected between the CONTROL and SOURCE pins is
required to supply the instantaneous gate drive current. The
total amount of capacitance connected to this pin also sets the
auto-restart timing as well as control loop compensation.
When rectiﬁed DC high voltage is applied to the DRAIN pin
during start-up, the MOSFET is initially off, and the CONTROL
pin capacitor is charged through a switched high voltage
current source connected internally between the DRAIN and
CONTROL pins. When the CONTROL pin voltage VC reaches
approximately 5.8 V, the control circuitry is activated and the
soft-start begins. The soft-start circuit gradually increases the
drain peak current and switching frequency from a low starting
value to the maximum drain peak current at the full frequency
over approximately 17 ms. If no external feedback/supply
current is fed into the CONTROL pin by the end of the soft-start,
the high voltage current source is turned off and the CONTROL
pin will start discharging in response to the supply current
drawn by the control circuitry. If the power supply is designed
properly, and no fault condition such as open loop or shorted
output exists, the feedback loop will close, providing external
CONTROL pin current, before the CONTROL pin voltage has
had a chance to discharge to the lower threshold voltage of
approximately 4.8 V (internal supply undervoltage lockout
threshold). When the externally fed current charges the
CONTROL pin to the shunt regulator voltage of 5.8 V, current in
excess of the consumption of the chip is shunted to SOURCE
through an NMOS current mirror as shown in Figure 3. The
output current of that NMOS current mirror controls the duty
cycle of the power MOSFET to provide closed loop regulation.
The shunt regulator has a ﬁnite low output impedance ZC that
sets the gain of the error ampliﬁer when used in a primary
feedback conﬁguration. The dynamic impedance ZC of the
CONTROL pin together with the external CONTROL pin
capacitance sets the dominant pole for the control loop.
When a fault condition such as an open loop or shorted output
prevents the ﬂow of an external current into the CONTROL pin,
the capacitor on the CONTROL pin discharges towards 4.8 V.
At 4.8 V, auto-restart is activated, which turns the output
MOSFET off and puts the control circuitry in a low current
standby mode. The high-voltage current source turns on and
charges the external capacitance again. A hysteretic internal
supply undervoltage comparator keeps VC within a window of
typically 4.8 V to 5.8 V by turning the high-voltage current
source on and off as shown in Figure 11. The auto-restart
circuit has a divide-by-sixteen counter, which prevents the
output MOSFET from turning on again until sixteen discharge/
charge cycles have elapsed. This is accomplished by enabling
the output MOSFET only when the divide-by-sixteen counter
reaches the full count (S15). The counter effectively limits
TOPSwitch-HX power dissipation by reducing the auto-restart
duty cycle to typically 2%. Auto-restart mode continues until
output voltage regulation is again achieved through closure of
the feedback loop.
Oscillator and Switching Frequency
The internal oscillator linearly charges and discharges an
internal capacitance between two voltage levels to create a
triangular waveform for the timing of the pulse width modulator.
This oscillator sets the pulse width modulator/current limit latch
at the beginning of each cycle.
The nominal full switching frequency of 132 kHz was chosen to
minimize transformer size while keeping the fundamental EMI
frequency below 150 kHz. The FREQUENCY pin (available only
in TOP254-258 Y and E packages), when shorted to the
CONTROL pin, lowers the full switching frequency to 66 kHz
(half frequency), which may be preferable in some cases such
as noise sensitive video applications or a high efﬁciency standby
mode. Otherwise, the FREQUENCY pin should be connected
to the SOURCE pin for the default 132 kHz. In the M, P and G

by-cycle peak drain current stays above kPS(UPPER)*ILIMIT(set),
where kPS(UPPER) is 55% (typical) and ILIMIT(set) is the current limit
externally set via the X or M pin.
Variable Frequency PWM mode: When peak drain current is
lowered to kPS(UPPER)* ILIMIT(set) as a result of power supply load
reduction, the PWM modulator initiates the transition to variable
frequency PWM mode, and gradually turns off frequency jitter.
In this mode, peak drain current is held constant at kPS(UPPER)*
ILIMIT(set) while switching frequency drops from the initial full
frequency of fOSC (132 kHz or 66 kHz) towards the minimum
frequency of fMCM(MIN) (30 kHz typical). Duty cycle reduction is
accomplished by extending the off-time.

packages and the TOP259-261 Y package option, the full
frequency PWM mode is set at 66 kHz, for higher efﬁciency and
increased output power in all applications.
To further reduce the EMI level, the switching frequency in the
full frequency PWM mode is jittered (frequency modulated) by
approximately ±2.5 kHz for 66 kHz operation or ±5 kHz for
132 kHz operation at a 250 Hz (typical) rate as shown in
Figure 10. The jitter is turned off gradually as the system is
entering the variable frequency mode with a ﬁxed peak drain
current.
Pulse Width Modulator
The pulse width modulator implements multi-mode control by
driving the output MOSFET with a duty cycle inversely
proportional to the current into the CONTROL pin that is in
excess of the internal supply current of the chip (see Figure 9).
The feedback error signal, in the form of the excess current, is
ﬁltered by an RC network with a typical corner frequency of
7 kHz to reduce the effect of switching noise in the chip supply
current generated by the MOSFET gate driver.
To optimize power supply efﬁciency, four different control
modes are implemented. At maximum load, the modulator
operates in full frequency PWM mode; as load decreases, the
modulator automatically transitions, ﬁrst to variable frequency
PWM mode, then to low frequency PWM mode. At light load,
the control operation switches from PWM control to multi-cyclemodulation control, and the modulator operates in multi-cyclemodulation mode. Although different modes operate differently
to make transitions between modes smooth, the simple
relationship between duty cycle and excess CONTROL pin
current shown in Figure 9 is maintained through all three PWM
modes. Please see the following sections for the details of the
operation of each mode and the transitions between modes.
Full Frequency PWM mode: The PWM modulator enters full
frequency PWM mode when the CONTROL pin current (IC)
reaches IB. In this mode, the average switching frequency is
kept constant at fOSC (66 kHz for P, G and M packages and
TOP259-261 Y, pin selectable 132 kHz or 66 kHz for Y and E
packages). Duty cycle is reduced from DCMAX through the
reduction of the on-time when IC is increased beyond IB. This
operation is identical to the PWM control of all other TOPSwitch
families. TOPSwitch-HX only operates in this mode if the cycle-
Low Frequency PWM mode: When switching frequency
reaches fMCM(MIN) (30 kHz typical), the PWM modulator starts to
transition to low frequency mode. In this mode, switching
frequency is held constant at fMCM(MIN) and duty cycle is reduced,
similar to the full frequency PWM mode, through the reduction
of the on-time. Peak drain current decreases from the initial
value of kPS(UPPER)* ILIMIT(set) towards the minimum value of
kPS(LOWER)*ILIMIT(set), where kPS(LOWER) is 25% (typical) and ILIMIT(set) is
the current limit externally set via the X or M pin.
Multi-Cycle-Modulation mode: When peak drain current is
lowered to kPS(LOWER)*ILIMIT(set), the modulator transitions to multicycle-modulation mode. In this mode, at each turn-on, the
modulator enables output switching for a period of TMCM(MIN) at
the switching frequency of fMCM(MIN) (4 or 5 consecutive pulses at
30 kHz) with the peak drain current of kPS(LOWER)*ILIMIT(set), and
stays off until the CONTROL pin current falls below IC(OFF). This
mode of operation not only keeps peak drain current low but
also minimizes harmonic frequencies between 6 kHz and
30 kHz. By avoiding transformer resonant frequency this way,
all potential transformer audible noises are greatly supressed.
Maximum Duty Cycle
The maximum duty cycle, DCMAX, is set at a default maximum
value of 78% (typical). However, by connecting the VOLTAGEMONITOR or MULTI-FUNCTION pin (depending on the
package) to the rectiﬁed DC high voltage bus through a resistor
with appropriate value (4 MΩ typical), the maximum duty cycle
can be made to decrease from 78% to 40% (typical) when input
line voltage increases from 88 V to 380 V, with dual gain slopes.
Error Ampliﬁer
The shunt regulator can also perform the function of an error
ampliﬁer in primary side feedback applications. The shunt
regulator voltage is accurately derived from a temperaturecompensated bandgap reference. The CONTROL pin dynamic
impedance ZC sets the gain of the error ampliﬁer. The
CONTROL pin clamps external circuit signals to the VC voltage
level. The CONTROL pin current in excess of the supply
current is separated by the shunt regulator and becomes the
feedback current Ifb for the pulse width modulator.
On-Chip Current Limit with External Programmability
The cycle-by-cycle peak drain current limit circuit uses the
output MOSFET ON-resistance as a sense resistor. A current
limit comparator compares the output MOSFET on-state drain

to source voltage VDS(ON) with a threshold voltage. High drain
current causes VDS(ON) to exceed the threshold voltage and turns
the output MOSFET off until the start of the next clock cycle.
The current limit comparator threshold voltage is temperature
compensated to minimize the variation of the current limit due
to temperature related changes in RDS(ON) of the output MOSFET.
The default current limit of TOPSwitch-HX is preset internally.
However, with a resistor connected between EXTERNAL
CURRENT LIMIT (X) pin (Y, E and M packages) or MULTIFUNCTION (M) pin (P and G package) and SOURCE pin (for
TOP259-261 Y, the X pin is connected to the SIGNAL GROUND
(G) pin), current limit can be programmed externally to a lower
level between 30% and 100% of the default current limit. By
setting current limit low, a larger TOPSwitch-HX than necessary
for the power required can be used to take advantage of the
lower RDS(ON) for higher efﬁciency/smaller heat sinking
requirements. TOPSwitch-HX current limit reduction initial
tolerance through the X pin (or M pin) has been improved
signiﬁcantly compare with previous TOPSwitch-GX. With a
second resistor connected between the EXTERNAL CURRENT
LIMIT (X) pin (Y, E and M packages) or MULTI-FUNCTION (M)
pin (P and G package) and the rectiﬁed DC high voltage bus,
the current limit is reduced with increasing line voltage, allowing
a true power limiting operation against line variation to be
implemented. When using an RCD clamp, this power limiting
technique reduces maximum clamp voltage at high line. This
allows for higher reﬂected voltage designs as well as reducing
clamp dissipation.
The leading edge blanking circuit inhibits the current limit
comparator for a short time after the output MOSFET is turned
on. The leading edge blanking time has been set so that, if a
power supply is designed properly, current spikes caused by
primary-side capacitances and secondary-side rectiﬁer reverse
recovery time should not cause premature termination of the
switching pulse.
The current limit is lower for a short period after the leading
edge blanking time. This is due to dynamic characteristics of
the MOSFET. During startup and fault conditions the controller
prevents excessive drain currents by reducing the switching
frequency.
Line Undervoltage Detection (UV)
At power up, UV keeps TOPSwitch-HX off until the input line
voltage reaches the undervoltage threshold. At power down,
UV prevents auto-restart attempts after the output goes out of
regulation. This eliminates power down glitches caused by slow
discharge of the large input storage capacitor present in
applications such as standby supplies. A single resistor
connected from the VOLTAGE-MONITOR pin (Y, E and M
packages) or MULTI-FUNCTION pin (P and G packages) to the
rectiﬁed DC high voltage bus sets UV threshold during power
up. Once the power supply is successfully turned on, the UV
threshold is lowered to 44% of the initial UV threshold to allow
extended input voltage operating range (UV low threshold). If
the UV low threshold is reached during operation without the
power supply losing regulation, the device will turn off and stay
off until UV (high threshold) has been reached again. If the
power supply loses regulation before reaching the UV low
threshold, the device will enter auto-restart. At the end of each
auto-restart cycle (S15), the UV comparator is enabled. If the
UV high threshold is not exceeded, the MOSFET will be
disabled during the next cycle (see Figure 11). The UV feature
can be disabled independent of the OV feature.
Line Overvoltage Shutdown (OV)
The same resistor used for UV also sets an overvoltage
10
Rev. B 02/08
www.powerint.com
TOP252-261
threshold, which, once exceeded, will force TOPSwitch-HX to
stop switching instantaneously (after completion of the current
switching cycle). If this condition lasts for at least 100 μs, the
TOPSwitch-HX output will be forced into off state. Unlike with
TOPSwitch-GX, however, when the line voltage is back to
normal with a small amount of hysteresis provided on the OV
threshold to prevent noise triggering, the state machine sets to
S13 and forces TOPSwitch-HX to go through the entire autorestart sequence before attempting to switch again. The ratio
of OV and UV thresholds is preset at 4.5, as can be seen in
Figure 12. When the MOSFET is off, the rectiﬁed DC high
voltage surge capability is increased to the voltage rating of the
MOSFET (700 V), due to the absence of the reﬂected voltage
and leakage spikes on the drain. The OV feature can be
disabled independent of the UV feature.
In order to reduce the no-load input power of TOPSwitch-HX
designs, the V-pin (or M-pin for P Package) operates at very low
currents. This requires careful layout considerations when
designing the PCB to avoid noise coupling. Traces and
components connected to the V-pin should not be adjacent to
any traces carrying switching currents. These include the drain,
clamp network, bias winding return or power traces from other
converters. If the line sensing features are used, then the sense
resistors must be placed within 10 mm of the V-pin to minimize
the V-pin node area. The DC bus should then be routed to the
line sense resistors. Note that external capacitance must not
be connected to the V-pin as this may cause misoperaton of the
V pin related functions.
Hysteretic or Latching Output Overvoltage Protection (OVP)
The detection of the hysteretic or latching output overvoltage
protection (OVP) is through the trigger of the line overvoltage
threshold. The V-pin or M-pin voltage will drop by 0.5 V, and
the controller measures the external attached impedance
immediately after this voltage drops. If IV or IM exceeds IOV(LS)
(336 μA typical) longer than 100 μs, TOPSwitch-HX will latch
into a permanent off state for the latching OVP. It only can be
reset if V V or VM goes below 1 V or VC goes below the powerup-reset threshold (VC(RESET)) and then back to normal.
If IV or IM does not exceed IOV(LS) or exceeds no longer than
100 μs, TOPSwitch-HX will initiate the line overvoltage and the
hysteretic OVP. Their behavior will be identical to the line
overvoltage shutdown (OV) that has been described in detail in
the previous section.

Figure 12. MULTI-FUNCTION (P and G package). VOLTAGE MONITOR and EXTERNAL CURRENT LIMIT (Y, E and M package) Pin Characteristics.
The circuit examples shown in Figures 41, 42 and 43 show a
simple method for implementing the primary sensed overvoltage protection.
During a fault condition resulting from loss of feedback, output
voltage will rapidly rise above the nominal voltage. The increase
in output voltage will also result in an increase in the voltage at
the output of the bias winding. A voltage at the output of the
bias winding that exceeds of the sum of the voltage rating of the
Zener diode connected from the bias winding output to the
V-pin (or M-pin) and V-pin (or M-pin) voltage, will cause a
current in excess of IV or IM to be injected into the V-pin
(or M-pin), which will trigger the OVP feature.
The primary sensed OVP protection circuit shown in Figures 41,
42 and 43 is triggered by a signiﬁcant rise in output voltage (and
therefore bias winding voltage). If the power supply is operating
under heavy load or low input line conditions when an open
loop occurs, the output voltage may not rise signiﬁcantly.
Under these conditions, a latching shutdown will not occur until
load or line conditions change. Nevertheless, the operation
provides the desired protection by preventing signiﬁcant rise in
the output voltage when the line or load conditions do change.
Primary side OVP protection with the TOPSwitch-HX in a typical
application will prevent a nominal 12 V output from rising above
approximately 20 V under open loop conditions. If greater
accuracy is required, a secondary sensed OVP circuit is
recommended.

TOP252-261
Line Feed-Forward with DCMAX Reduction
The same resistor used for UV and OV also implements line voltage
feed-forward, which minimizes output line ripple and reduces
power supply output sensitivity to line transients. Note that for the
same CONTROL pin current, higher line voltage results in smaller
operating duty cycle. As an added feature, the maximum duty
cycle DCMAX is also reduced from 78% (typical) at a voltage slightly
lower than the UV threshold to 36% (typical) at the OV threshold.
DCMAX of 36% at high line was chosen to ensure that the power
capability of the TOPSwitch-HX is not restricted by this feature
under normal operation. TOPSwitch-HX provides a better ﬁt to the
ideal feed-forward by using two reduction slopes: -1% per μA for all
bus voltage less than 195 V (typical for 4 MΩ line impedance) and
-0.25% per μA for all bus voltage more than 195 V. This dual
slope line feed-forward improves the line ripple rejection
signiﬁcantly compared with the TOPSwitch-GX.
Remote ON/OFF
TOPSwitch-HX can be turned on or off by controlling the
current into the VOLTAGE-MONITOR pin or out from the
EXTERNAL CURRENT LIMIT pin (Y, E and M packages) and
into or out from the MULTI-FUNCTION pin (P and G package,
see Figure 12). In addition, the VOLTAGE-MONITOR pin has a 1
V threshold comparator connected at its input. This voltage
threshold can also be used to perform remote ON/OFF control.
When a signal is received at the VOLTAGE-MONITOR pin or the
EXTERNAL CURRENT LIMIT pin (Y, E and M packages) or the
MULTI-FUNCTION pin (P and G package) to disable the output
through any of the pin functions such as OV, UV and remote
ON/OFF, TOPSwitch-HX always completes its current switching
cycle before the output is forced off.
As seen above, the remote ON/OFF feature can also be used as
a standby or power switch to turn off the TOPSwitch-HX and
keep it in a very low power consumption state for indeﬁnitely
long periods. If the TOPSwitch-HX is held in remote off state for
long enough time to allow the CONTROL pin to discharge to the
internal supply undervoltage threshold of 4.8 V (approximately
32 ms for a 47 μF CONTROL pin capacitance), the CONTROL
pin goes into the hysteretic mode of regulation. In this mode,
the CONTROL pin goes through alternate charge and discharge
cycles between 4.8 V and 5.8 V (see CONTROL pin operation
section above) and runs entirely off the high voltage DC input,
but with very low power consumption (160 mW typical at
230 VAC with M or X pins open). When the TOPSwitch-HX is
remotely turned on after entering this mode, it will initiate a
normal start-up sequence with soft-start the next time the
CONTROL pin reaches 5.8 V. In the worst case, the delay from
remote on to start-up can be equal to the full discharge/charge
cycle time of the CONTROL pin, which is approximately 125 ms
for a 47 μF CONTROL pin capacitor. This reduced
consumption remote off mode can eliminate expensive and
unreliable in-line mechanical switches. It also allows for
microprocessor controlled turn-on and turn-off sequences that
may be required in certain applications such as inkjet and laser
printers.
Soft-Start
The 17 ms soft-start sweeps the peak drain current and
switching frequency linearly from minimum to maximum value
by operating through the low frequency PWM mode and the
variable frequency mode before entering the full frequency
mode. In addition to start-up, soft-start is also activated at
each restart attempt during auto-restart and when restarting
after being in hysteretic regulation of CONTROL pin voltage (VC),
due to remote OFF or thermal shutdown conditions. This
effectively minimizes current and voltage stresses on the output
MOSFET, the clamp circuit and the output rectiﬁer during startup. This feature also helps minimize output overshoot and
prevents saturation of the transformer during start-up.
Shutdown/Auto-Restart
To minimize TOPSwitch-HX power dissipation under fault
conditions, the shutdown/auto-restart circuit turns the power
supply on and off at an auto-restart duty cycle of typically 2% if
an out of regulation condition persists. Loss of regulation
interrupts the external current into the CONTROL pin. VC
regulation changes from shunt mode to the hysteretic autorestart mode as described in CONTROL pin operation section.
When the fault condition is removed, the power supply output
becomes regulated, VC regulation returns to shunt mode, and
normal operation of the power supply resumes.
Hysteretic Over-Temperature Protection
Temperature protection is provided by a precision analog circuit
that turns the output MOSFET off when the junction
temperature exceeds the thermal shutdown temperature
(142 °C typical). When the junction temperature cools to below
the lower hysteretic temperature point, normal operation
resumes, thus providing automatic recovery. A large hysteresis
of 75 °C (typical) is provided to prevent overheating of the PC
board due to a continuous fault condition. VC is regulated in
hysteretic mode, and a 4.8 V to 5.8 V (typical) triangular waveform
is present on the CONTROL pin while in thermal shutdown.
Bandgap Reference
All critical TOPSwitch-HX internal voltages are derived from a
temperature-compensated bandgap reference. This voltage
reference is used to generate all other internal current
references, which are trimmed to accurately set the switching
frequency, MOSFET gate drive current, current limit, and the
line OV/UV/OVP thresholds. TOPSwitch-HX has improved
circuitry to maintain all of the above critical parameters within
very tight absolute and temperature tolerances.
High-Voltage Bias Current Source
This high-voltage current source biases TOPSwitch-HX from the
DRAIN pin and charges the CONTROL pin external capacitance
during start-up or hysteretic operation. Hysteretic operation
occurs during auto-restart, remote OFF and over-temperature
shutdown. In this mode of operation, the current source is
switched on and off, with an effective duty cycle of
approximately 35%. This duty cycle is determined by the ratio
of CONTROL pin charge (IC) and discharge currents (ICD1 and
ICD2). This current source is turned off during normal operation
when the output MOSFET is switching. The effect of the
current source switching will be seen on the DRAIN voltage
waveform as small disturbances and is normal.

winding. Zener VR2 will break down and current will ﬂow into
the “M” pin of the TOPSwitch initiating a hysteretic overvoltage
protection with automatic restart attempts. Resistor R5 will limit
the current into the M pin to < 336 μA, thus setting hysteretic
OVP. If latching OVP is desired, the value of R5 can be reduced
to 20 Ω.
A High Efﬁciency, 35 W, Dual Output - Universal Input
Power Supply
The circuit in Figure 41 takes advantage of several of the
TOPSwitch-HX features to reduce system cost and power
supply size and to improve efﬁciency. This design delivers
35 W total continuous output power from a 90 VAC to 265 VAC
input at an ambient of 50 ºC in an open frame conﬁguration. A
nominal efﬁciency of 84% at full load is achieved using
TOP258P. With a DIP-8 package, this design provides 35 W
continuous output power using only the copper area on the
circuit board underneath the part as a heat sink. The different
operating modes of the TOPSwitch-HX provide signiﬁcant
improvement in the no-load, standby, and light load
performance of the power supply as compared to the previous
generations of the TOPSwitch.
The output voltage is controlled using the ampliﬁer TL431.
Diode D9, capacitor C20 and resistor R16 form the soft ﬁnish
circuit. At startup, capacitor C20 is discharged. As the output
voltage starts rising, current ﬂows through the optocoupler diode
inside U2A, resistor R13 and diode D9 to charge capacitor C20.
This provides feedback to the circuit on the primary side. The
current in the optocoupler diode U2A gradually decreases as the
capacitor C20 becomes charged and the control ampliﬁer IC U3
becomes operational. This ensures that the output voltage
increases gradually and settles to the ﬁnal value without any
overshoot. Resistor R16 ensures that the capacitor C20 is
maintained charged at all times after startup, which effectively
isolates C20 from the feedback circuit after startup. Capacitor
C20 discharges through R16 when the supply shuts down.
Resistors R3 and R4 provide line sensing, setting line UV at
100 VDC and line OV at 450 VDC.
Diode D5, together with resistors R6, R7, capacitor C6 and TVS
VR1, forms a clamp network that limits the drain voltage of the
TOPSwitch after the integrated MOSFET turns off. TVS VR1
provides a deﬁned maximum clamp voltage and typically only
conducts during fault conditions such as overload. This allows
the RCD clamp (R6, R7, C6 and D5) to be sized for normal
operation, thereby maximizing efﬁciency at light load. Should
the feedback circuit fail, the output of the power supply may
exceed regulation limits. This increased voltage at output will
also result in an increased voltage at the output of the bias

Resistors R20, R21 and R18 form a voltage divider network.
The output of this divider network is primarily dependent on the
divider circuit formed using R20 and R21 and will vary to some
extent for changes in voltage at the 15 V output due to the
connection of resistor R18 to the output of the divider network.
Resistor R19 and Zener VR3 improve cross regulation in case
only the 5 V output is loaded, which results in the 15 V output
operating at the higher end of the speciﬁcation.

dissipated by VR1 and VR3, the leakage energy instead being
dissipated by R1 and R2. However, VR1 and VR3 are essential
to limit the peak drain voltage during start-up and/or overload
conditions to below the 700 V rating of the TOPSwitch-HX
MOSFET. The schematic shows an additional turn-off snubber
circuit consisting of R20, R21, R22, D5 and C18. This reduces
turn-off losses in the TOPSwitch-HX.
A High Efﬁciency, 150 W, 250 – 380 VDC Input
Power Supply
The circuit shown in Figure 42 delivers 150 W (19 V @ 7.7 A) at
84% efﬁciency using a TOP258Y from a 250 VDC to 380 VDC
input. A DC input is shown, as typically at this power level a
power factor correction stage would precede this supply,
providing the DC input. Capacitor C1 provides local decoupling,
necessary when the supply is remote from the main PFC output
capacitor.
The secondary is rectiﬁed and smoothed by D2, D3 and C5,
C6, C7 and C8. Two windings are used and rectiﬁed with
separate diodes D2 and D3 to limit diode dissipation. Four
capacitors are used to ensure their maximum ripple current
speciﬁcation is not exceeded. Inductor L1 and capacitors C15
and C16 provide switching noise ﬁltering.
The ﬂyback topology is still usable at this power level due to the
high output voltage, keeping the secondary peak currents low
enough so that the output diode and capacitors are reasonably
sized. In this example, the TOP258YN is at the upper limit of its
power capability.
Output voltage is controlled using a TL431 reference IC and
R15, R16 and R17 to form a potential divider to sense the
output voltage. Resistor R12 and R24 together limit the
optocoupler LED current and set overall control loop DC gain.
Control loop compensation is achieved using components C12,
C13, C20 and R13. Diode D6, resistor R23 and capacitor C19
form a soft ﬁnish network. This feeds current into the control
pin prior to output regulation, preventing output voltage
overshoot and ensuring startup under low line, full load
conditions.
Resistors R3, R6 and R7 provide output power limiting,
maintaining relatively constant overload power with input voltage.
Line sensing is implemented by connecting a 4 MΩ resistor from
the V pin to the DC rail. Resistors R4 and R5 together form the
4 MΩ line sense resistor. If the DC input rail rises above
450 VDC, then TOPSwitch-HX will stop switching until the
voltage returns to normal, preventing device damage.
Due to the high primary current, a low leakage inductance
transformer is essential. Therefore, a sandwich winding with a
copper foil secondary was used. Even with this technique, the
leakage inductance energy is beyond the power capability of a
simple Zener clamp. Therefore, R1, R2 and C3 are added in
parallel to VR1 and VR3, two series TVS diodes being used to
reduce dissipation. During normal operation, very little power is

TOPSwitch-HX and R20, C9, R22 and VR5. Should the bias
winding output voltage across C13 rise due to output overload
or an open loop fault (opto coupler failure), then VR5 conducts
triggering the latching shutdown. To prevent false triggering
due to short duration overload, a delay is provided by R20, R22
and C9.
A High Efﬁciency, 20 W continuous – 80 W Peak, Universal
Input Power Supply
The circuit shown in Figure 43 takes advantage of several of
TOPSwitch-HX features to reduce system cost and power
supply size and to improve power supply efﬁciency while
delivering signiﬁcant peak power for a short duration. This
design delivers continuous 20 W and peak 80 W at 32 V from
an 90 VAC to 264 VAC input. A nominal efﬁciency of 82% at full
load is achieved using TOP258MN. The M-package part has an
optimized current limit to enable design of power supplies
capable of delivering high power for a short duration.
To reset the supply following a latching shutdown, the V pin
must fall below the reset threshold. To prevent the long reset
delay associated with the input capacitor discharging, a fast AC
reset circuit is used. The AC input is rectiﬁed and ﬁltered by
D13 and C30. While the AC supply is present, Q3 is on and Q1
is off, allowing normal device operation. However when AC is
removed, Q1 pulls down the V pin and resets the latch. The supply
will then return to normal operation when AC is again applied.
Resistor R12 sets the current limit of the part. Resistors R11
and R14 provide line feed forward information that reduces the
current limit with increasing DC bus voltage, thereby maintaining
a constant overload power level with increasing line voltage.
Resistors R1 and R2 implement the line undervoltage and overvoltage function and also provide feed forward compensation for
reducing line frequency ripple at the output. The overvoltage
feature inhibits TOPSwitch-HX switching during a line surge
extending the high voltage withstand to 700 V without device
damage.
Transistor Q2 provides an additional lower UV threshold to the
level programmed via R1, R2 and the V pin. At low input AC
voltage, Q2 turns off, allowing the X pin to ﬂoat and thereby
disabling switching.
A simple feedback circuit automatically regulates the output
voltage. Zener VR3 sets the output voltage together with the
voltage drop across series resistor R8, which sets the DC gain
of the circuit. Resistors R10 and C28 provide a phase boost to
improve loop bandwidth.
The snubber circuit comprising of VR7, R17, R25, C5 and D2
limits the maximum drain voltage and dissipates energy stored in
the leakage inductance of transformer T1. This clamp
conﬁguration maximizes energy efﬁciency by preventing C5 from
discharging below the value of VR7 during the lower frequency
operating modes of TOPSwitch-HX. Resistor R25 damps high
frequency ringing for reduced EMI.
Diodes D6 and D7 are low-loss Schottky rectiﬁers, and
capacitor C20 is the output ﬁlter capacitor. Inductor L3 is a
common mode choke to limit radiated EMI when long output
cables are used and the output return is connected to safety
earth ground. Example applications where this occurs include
PC peripherals, such as inkjet printers.
A combined output overvoltage and over power protection
circuit is provided via the latching shutdown feature of

TOP252-261
A High Efﬁciency, 65 W, Universal Input Power Supply
The circuit shown in Figure 44 delivers 65 W (19 V @ 3.42 A) at
88% efﬁciency using a TOP260EN operating over an input
voltage range of 90 VAC to 265 VAC.
The secondary output form the transformer is rectiﬁed by diode
D2 and ﬁltered by capacitors C13 and C14. Ferrite Bead L3 and
capacitors C15 form a second stage ﬁlter and effectively reduce
the switching noise to the output.
Capacitors C1 and C6 and inductors L1 and L2 provide
common mode and differential mode EMI ﬁltering. Capacitor C2
is the bulk ﬁlter capacitor that ensures low ripple DC input to the
ﬂyback converter stage. Capacitor C4 provides decoupling for
switching currents reducing differential mode EMI.
Output voltage is controlled using a LM431 reference IC.
Resistor R19 and R20 form a potential divider to sense the
output voltage. Resistor R16 limits the optocoupler LED current
and sets the overall control loop DC gain. Control loop
compensation is achieved using C18 and R21. The components
connected to the control pin on the primary side C8, C9 and
R15 set the low frequency pole and zero to further shape the
control loop response. Capacitor C17 provides a soft ﬁnish
during startup. Optocoupler U2 is used for isolation of the
feedback signal.
In this example, the TOP260EN is used at reduced current limit
to improve efﬁciency.
Resistors R5, R6 and R7 provide power limiting, maintaining
relatively constant overload power with input voltage. Line
sensing is implemented by connecting a 4 MΩ impedance from
the V pin to the DC rail. Resistors R3 and R4 together form the
4 MΩ line sense resistor. If the DC input rail rises above
450 VDC, then TOP Switch-HX will stop switching until the
voltage returns to normal, preventing device damage.
Diode D4 and capacitor C10 form the bias winding rectiﬁer and
ﬁlter. Should the feedback loop break due to a defective
component, a rising bias winding voltage will cause the zener
VR2 to break down and trigger the over voltage protection
which will inhibit switching.
This circuit features a high efﬁciency clamp network consisting
of diode D1, zener VR1, capacitor C5 together with resistors R8
and R9. The snubber clamp is used to dissipate the energy into
the leakage reactance of the transformer. At light load levels,
very little power is dissipated by VR1 improving efﬁciency as
compared to a conventional RCD clamp network.
An optional secondary side over voltage protection feature
which offers higher precision (as compared to sensing via the
bias winding) is implemented using VR2, R14 and U2. Excess
voltage at the output will cause current to ﬂow through the
optocoupler U3 LED which in turn will inject current in the V-pin
through resistor R13, thereby triggering the over voltage
protection feature.

TOPSwitch-HX Design Considerations
Power Table
The data sheet power table (Table 1) represents the maximum
practical continuous output power based on the following
conditions:
1. 12 V output.
2. Schottky or high efﬁciency output diode.
3. 135 V reﬂected voltage (VOR) and efﬁciency estimates.
4. A 100 VDC minimum for 85-265 VAC and 250 VDC minimum for 230 VAC.
5. Sufﬁcient heat sinking to keep device temperature ≤100 °C.
6. Power levels shown in the power table for the M/P package
device assume 6.45 cm2 of 610 g/m2 copper heat sink area
in an enclosed adapter, or 19.4 cm2 in an open frame.
The provided peak power depends on the current limit for the
respective device.
TOPSwitch-HX Selection
Selecting the optimum TOPSwitch-HX depends upon required
maximum output power, efﬁciency, heat sinking constraints,
system requirements and cost goals. With the option to
externally reduce current limit, an Y, E or M package
TOPSwitch-HX may be used for lower power applications
where higher efﬁciency is needed or minimal heat sinking is
available.
Input Capacitor
The input capacitor must be chosen to provide the minimum
DC voltage required for the TOPSwitch-HX converter to
maintain regulation at the lowest speciﬁed input voltage and
maximum output power. Since TOPSwitch-HX has a high
DCMAX limit and an optimized dual slope line feed forward for
ripple rejection, it is possible to use a smaller input capacitor.
For TOPSwitch-HX, a capacitance of 2 μF per watt is possible
for universal input with an appropriately designed transformer.
Primary Clamp and Output Reﬂected Voltage VOR
A primary clamp is necessary to limit the peak TOPSwitch-HX
drain to source voltage. A Zener clamp requires few parts and
takes up little board space. For good efﬁciency, the clamp
Zener should be selected to be at least 1.5 times the output
reﬂected voltage VOR, as this keeps the leakage spike
conduction time short. When using a Zener clamp in a
universal input application, a VOR of less than 135 V is
recommended to allow for the absolute tolerances and
temperature variations of the Zener. This will ensure efﬁcient
operation of the clamp circuit and will also keep the maximum
drain voltage below the rated breakdown voltage of the
TOPSwitch-HX MOSFET. A high VOR is required to take full
advantage of the wider DCMAX of TOPSwitch-HX. An RCD
clamp provides tighter clamp voltage tolerance than a Zener
clamp and allows a VOR as high as 150 V. RCD clamp
dissipation can be minimized by reducing the external current
limit as a function of input line voltage (see Figures 23 and 36).
The RCD clamp is more cost effective than the Zener clamp but
requires more careful design (see Quick Design Checklist).
Output Diode
The output diode is selected for peak inverse voltage, output
current, and thermal conditions in the application (including
heat sinking, air circulation, etc.). The higher DCMAX of
TOPSwitch-HX, along with an appropriate transformer turns
ratio, can allow the use of a 80 V Schottky diode for higher
efﬁciency on output voltages as high as 15 V (see Figure 41).
Bias Winding Capacitor
Due to the low frequency operation at no-load, a 10 μF bias
winding capacitor is recommended.
Soft-Start
Generally, a power supply experiences maximum stress at
start-up before the feedback loop achieves regulation. For a
period of 17 ms, the on-chip soft-start linearly increases the
drain peak current and switching frequency from their low
starting values to their respective maximum values. This
causes the output voltage to rise in an orderly manner, allowing
time for the feedback loop to take control of the duty cycle.
This reduces the stress on the TOPSwitch-HX MOSFET, clamp
circuit and output diode(s), and helps prevent transformer
saturation during start-up. Also, soft-start limits the amount of
output voltage overshoot and, in many applications, eliminates
the need for a soft-ﬁnish capacitor.
EMI
The frequency jitter feature modulates the switching frequency
over a narrow band as a means to reduce conducted EMI peaks
associated with the harmonics of the fundamental switching
frequency. This is particularly beneﬁcial for average detection
mode. As can be seen in Figure 45, the beneﬁts of jitter increase
with the order of the switching harmonic due to an increase in
frequency deviation. Devices in the P, G or M package and
TOP259-261YN operate at a nominal switching frequency of
66 kHz. The FREQUENCY pin of devices in the TOP254-258 Y
and E packages offer a switching frequency option of 132 kHz or
66 kHz. In applications that require heavy snubber on the drain
node for reducing high frequency radiated noise (for example,
video noise sensitive applications such as VCRs, DVDs, monitors,
TVs, etc.), operating at 66 kHz will reduce snubber loss, resulting
in better efﬁciency. Also, in applications where transformer size is
not a concern, use of the 66 kHz option will provide lower EMI
and higher efﬁciency. Note that the second harmonic of 66 kHz
is still below 150 kHz, above which the conducted EMI
speciﬁcations get much tighter. For 10 W or below, it is possible
to use a simple inductor in place of a more costly AC input
common mode choke to meet worldwide conducted EMI limits.
Transformer Design
It is recommended that the transformer be designed for
maximum operating ﬂux density of 3000 Gauss and a peak ﬂux
density of 4200 Gauss at maximum current limit. The turns
ratio should be chosen for a reﬂected voltage (VOR) no greater
than 135 V when using a Zener clamp or 150 V (max) when
using an RCD clamp with current limit reduction with line
voltage (overload protection). For designs where operating
current is signiﬁcantly lower than the default current limit, it is
recommended to use an externally set current limit close to the
operating peak current to reduce peak ﬂux density and peak
power (see Figures 22 and 35). In most applications, the tighter
current limit tolerance, higher switching frequency and soft-start
features of TOPSwitch-HX contribute to a smaller transformer
when compared to TOPSwitch-GX.

Standby Consumption
Frequency reduction can signiﬁcantly reduce power loss at light
or no load, especially when a Zener clamp is used. For very
low secondary power consumption, use a TL431 regulator for
feedback control. A typical TOPSwitch-HX circuit automatically
enters MCM mode at no load and the low frequency mode at
light load, which results in extremely low losses under no-load
or standby conditions.
High Power Designs
The TOPSwitch-HX family contains parts that can deliver up to
333 W. High power designs need special considerations.
Guidance for high power designs can be found in the Design
Guide for TOPSwitch-HX (AN-43).
TOPSwitch-HX Layout Considerations
Primary Side Connections
Use a single point (Kelvin) connection at the negative terminal of
the input ﬁlter capacitor for the TOPSwitch-HX SOURCE pin
and bias winding return. This improves surge capabilities by
returning surge currents from the bias winding directly to the
input ﬁlter capacitor. The CONTROL pin bypass capacitor
should be located as close as possible to the SOURCE and
CONTROL pins, and its SOURCE connection trace should not
be shared by the main MOSFET switching currents. All
SOURCE pin referenced components connected to the MULTIFUNCTION (M-pin), VOLTAGE MONITOR (V-pin) or EXTERNAL
CURRENT LIMIT (X-pin) pins should also be located closely
between their respective pin and SOURCE. Once again, the
SOURCE connection trace of these components should not be
shared by the main MOSFET switching currents. It is very
critical that SOURCE pin switching currents are returned to the
input capacitor negative terminal through a separate trace that
is not shared by the components connected to CONTROL,
MULTI-FUNCTION, VOLTAGE MONITOR or EXTERNAL
CURRENT LIMIT pins. This is because the SOURCE pin is also
the controller ground reference pin. Any traces to the M, V or X
pins should be kept as short as possible and away from the
DRAIN trace to prevent noise coupling. VOLTAGE MONITOR
resistors (R1 and R2 in Figures 46, 47, 48, R3 and R4 in
Figure 49, and R14 in Figure 50) should be located close to the
M or V pin to minimize the trace length on the M or V pin side.
Resistors connected to the M, V or X pin should be connected
as close to the bulk cap positive terminal as possible while
routing these connections away from the power switching
circuitry. In addition to the 47 μF CONTROL pin capacitor, a
high frequency bypass capacitor in parallel may be used for
better noise immunity. The feedback optocoupler output
should also be located close to the CONTROL and SOURCE
pins of TOPSwitch-HX.
Y-Capacitor
The Y-capacitor should be connected close to the secondary
output return pin(s) and the positive primary DC input pin of the
transformer.
Heat Sinking
The tab of the Y package (TO-220) and E package (eSIP-7C)
are internally electrically tied to the SOURCE pin. To avoid
circulating currents, a heat sink attached to the tab should not
be electrically tied to any primary ground/source nodes on the
PC board. When using a P (DIP-8), G (SMD-8) or M (DIP-10)
package, a copper area underneath the package connected to
the SOURCE pins will act as an effective heat sink. On double
sided boards, topside and bottom side areas connected with
vias can be used to increase the effective heat sinking area. In
addition, sufﬁcient copper area should be provided at the
anode and cathode leads of the output diode(s) for heat sinking.
In Figures 46 to 50 a narrow trace is shown between the output
rectiﬁer and output ﬁlter capacitor. This trace acts as a thermal
relief between the rectiﬁer and ﬁlter capacitor to prevent
excessive heating of the capacitor.
The TOPSwitch-HX has multiple pins and may operate at
high power levels. The following guidelines should be
carefully followed.

Figure 50b. Layout Considerations for TOPSwitch-HX Using E-Package and Operating at 132 KHz.

TOP252-261
Quick Design Checklist
In order to reduce the no-load input power of TOPSwitch-HX
designs, the V-pin (or M-pin for P Package) operates at very
low current. This requires careful layout considerations when
designing the PCB to avoid noise coupling. Traces and
components connected to the V-pin should not be adjacent to
any traces carrying switching currents. These include the drain,
clamp network, bias winding return or power traces from other
converters. If the line sensing features are used, then the sense
resistors must be placed within 10 mm of the V-pin to minimize
the V pin node area. The DC bus should then be routed to the
line sense resistors. Note that external capacitance must not
be connected to the V-pin as this may cause misoperaton of the
V pin related functions.
As with any power supply design, all TOPSwitch-HX designs
should be veriﬁed on the bench to make sure that components
speciﬁcations are not exceeded under worst-case conditions.
The following minimum set of tests is strongly recommended:
1. Maximum drain voltage – Verify that peak VDS does not
exceed 675 V at highest input voltage and maximum
overload output power. Maximum overload output power
occurs when the output is overloaded to a level just before
the power supply goes into auto-restart (loss of regulation).
2. Maximum drain current – At maximum ambient temperature,
maximum input voltage and maximum output load, verify
drain current waveforms at start-up for any signs of transformer saturation and excessive leading edge current spikes.
TOPSwitch-HX has a leading edge blanking time of 220 ns
to prevent premature termination of the ON-cycle. Verify that
the leading edge current spike is below the allowed current
limit envelope (see Figure 53) for the drain current waveform
at the end of the 220 ns blanking period.
3. Thermal check – At maximum output power, both minimum
and maximum voltage and ambient temperature; verify that
temperature speciﬁcations are not exceeded for
TOPSwitch-HX, transformer, output diodes and output
capacitors. Enough thermal margin should be allowed for
the part-to-part variation of the RDS(ON) of TOPSwitch-HX, as
speciﬁed in the data sheet. The margin required can either
be calculated from the values in the parameter table or it can
be accounted for by connecting an external resistance in
series with the DRAIN pin and attached to the same heat
sink, having a resistance value that is equal to the difference
between the measured RDS(ON) of the device under test and
the worst case maximum speciﬁcation.

NOTES:
A. For speciﬁcations with negative values, a negative temperature coefﬁcient corresponds to an increase in
magnitude with increasing temperature, and a positive temperature coefﬁcient corresponds to a decrease in
magnitude with increasing temperature.
B. Guaranteed by characterization. Not tested in production.
C. For externally adjusted current limit values, please refer to Figures 55a and 55b (Current Limit vs. External Current Limit Resistance) in the Typical Performance Characteristics section. The tolerance speciﬁed is only valid at full current limit.
D. I2f calculation is based on typical values of ILIMIT and fOSC, i.e. ILIMIT(TYP)2 × fOSC, where fOSC = 66 kHz or 132 kHz depending on package
/ F pin connection. See fOSC speciﬁcation for detail.
E. The TOPSwitch-HX will start up at 18 VDC drain voltage. The capacitance of electrolytic capacitors drops signiﬁcantly at temperatures below 0 °C. For reliable start up at 18 V in sub zero temperatures, designers must ensure that circuit capacitors meet
recommended capacitance values.
F. Breakdown voltage may be checked against minimum BVDSS speciﬁcation by ramping the DRAIN pin voltage up to but not
exceeding minimum BVDSS.
