Operation Principle Description Tonp = 4.1 Power Factor Correction and Constant Output Current Control Strategy Vcs Rcs Tons Tsw = K The function of PFC requires input AC current waveform to follow input AC voltage waveform, a sinusoidal waveform as we know. 2 ⋅ Tsw (4) Vcs L p ⋅ I pk Vcs L p Vcs ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ L p ⋅ K ⋅ Vcs2 R Vin R V R I in= cs = cs in cs = T T 2 ⋅ Rcs2 ⋅ Tons ⋅ Vin 2 ⋅ ons 2 ⋅ ons K K (1) The primary switch on time Tonp, primary switch peak current Ipk and switching period Tsw are defined as: (5) The input AC voltage VIN is defined Vin = 2Vin _ rms ⋅ sin θ Apr. 2012 (3) Where, LP is the primary winding magnetizing inductance of transformer, VCS is the primary current sense voltage, RCS is the current sense resistor, TONS is the conduction time of secondary side diode. From the above equations it can be got: The AP1682 solution uses PFM technology and Flyback converter always operates at Discontinuous Current Mode (DCM). So the input current IIN is I pk ⋅ Tonp (2) Vin I pk = The AP1682 uses Primary Side Regulation (PSR) to regulate constant output current and achieve the high Power Factor at the same time. I in= L p ⋅ I pk Rev. 2. 0 (6) BCD Semiconductor Manufacturing Limited 2 Application Note 1066 It is assumed that V Vcs = s ⋅ VCS _ REF = K LINE ⋅ VCS _ REF ⋅ Sin θ V pk T K = ons = K LINE ⋅ K c ⋅ Sin θ Tsw above equations, it can be obtained that (7) I in= (8) 2 Vout ⋅ N t ⋅ VCS ,EQ ⋅ K LINE 2 2 ⋅ Rcs ⋅ Vin _ rms ⋅ sin θ (9) So it can be seen that the input current follows the input voltage sinusoidal waveform, which shows PFC function works. Figure 3 shows the basic operation principle and waveforms of AP1682 PFC solution. VCS , EQ = VCS _ REF ⋅ K c Here, VCS_REF is 1V, KC is 4/9 and VCS,EQ is 4/9V. From the Figure 3. Basic Operation Waveforms Apr. 2012 Rev. 2. 0 BCD Semiconductor Manufacturing Limited 3 Application Note 1066 And the output current IO can be got as IO = 2 2 N t ⋅ VCS , EQ ⋅ K LINE ⋅η t ⋅ Sin 2θ N t ⋅ VCS , EQ ⋅ K LINE ⋅ η t 1 − Cos 2θ Tons N ⋅ T ⋅ V ⋅η ⋅ I pks = t ons cs t = = 2 ⋅ Tsw 2 ⋅ Tsw ⋅ Rcs 2 ⋅ Rcs 2 ⋅ Rcs 2 works in acceleration start phase until FB pin voltage reaches 1.75V. From 1.75V to 4V, the system works in CC region. The output current is constant regardless of output voltage changing. When open load condition or load disconnecting happens, the output voltage rises to the maximum value and the FB pin voltage reaches 4V. The system will work in HICCUP state to keep output voltage below the maximum value and VCC voltage changes between startup threshold and UVLO threshold. If abnormal condition happened such as fault connection or excess auxiliary winding turns, FB pin voltage reaches to 6V, then AP1682 will enter FB OVP protection state. This will lead to AP1682 latch working mode. Figure 4 shows the FB pin working regions. ηt is the power conversion efficiency considering the total power dissipation. From above output current equation it is concluded that the output current has the double line frequency AC components, which results in the double line frequency output voltage and output current ripple. There are always output capacitors to filter the ripple in Flyback topology, so the output voltage ripple depends on the total output capacitance. And for LED driver, the output current ripple is determined by the output voltage ripple and LED loading V-I characteristics. The output current DC value is I o _ mean = 1 π π 2 Nt ⋅VCS ,EQ ⋅ K LINE ⋅ηt ⋅ Sin2θ 0 2 ⋅ Rcs ∫ dθ = (10) 2 Nt ⋅VCS ,EQ ⋅ K LINE ⋅η t 4 ⋅ Rcs (11) Therefore, the constant output current control can be realized with appropriate parameter design. 4.2 Acceleration Start For LED lighting application, the lower turn on delay time is required. To reduce start-up time, an acceleration start function is embedded in AP1682. At start-up phase, after VCC voltage reaches turn on threshold, AP1682 controls the power converter operating at the max frequency with DCM Boundary mode to provide more energy to output. The acceleration start phase will stop when detected FB pin voltage reaches soft start threshold 1.75V. Figure 4. FB Function Region Diagram 4.5 Input Voltage Sensing 4.3 VCC Pin Voltage Region With the resistor divider circuit connecting to rectified DC bus, VS pin detects the instantaneous rectified sine waveform signal of input voltage and VPK pin detects the corresponding peak value. The internal divider by VS/VPK generates sine waveform as current reference signal. In general, the VS/VPK value should be design between 0 and 1. In LED lighting application, because the LED cell forward voltage drop VF varies with different current and operation temperature, the output voltage need a wider operation range. Therefore the VCC voltage which comes from aux winding coupling with transformer winding also needs the wider operating voltage range. The AP1682 start-up voltage threshold is 18.5V (typ.), and the UVLO voltage threshold is 8.0V. The AP1682 have a wide operating voltage window from 8V to 30V. If the VCC pin voltage is higher than 30V, the AP1682 will enter VCC OVP protection state, which will lead to AP1682 automatic restart. 4.6 Primary Current Sense and Over Current Protection (OCP) The current sense signal connecting to CS pin is for primary peak current feedback and OCP function. The primary current sense resistor value is one of design inputs for output constant current value setting according to equation (13). The CS pin peak value at one half line cycle should be set as 1V. The primary OCP comparator 4.4 FB Pin Voltage Region The FB pin voltage has several comparator thresholds for different function. At start-up phase, the AP1682 system Apr. 2012 Rev. 2. 0 BCD Semiconductor Manufacturing Limited 4 Application Note 1066 threshold is 4V for primary side short protection. When OCP threshold is triggered, AP1682 enters latch mode and switch stops working. The latch mode will be reset after input power recycle. 5. Operation Parameter Components Selection Design design method. This application notes emphasis on the Flyback power converter design with AP1682. BCD will release the AP1682 design sheet tools for both Flyback and Buck-Boost application to meet the all types of application requirements. and The off-line primary side regulation power factor solution with AP1682 is the single stage PFC Flyback structure. Since of PFC operation and the special PFM control technology, the circuit operation parameter of Flyback converter is little different with the traditional off-line Flyback converter. In a half line cycle, the operation parameters, such like DC bus voltage, primary peak current, duty cycle, etc., vary with input sine waveform voltage. In Buck-Boost application, there is not transformer but an inductor, which means the equivalent turns ratio is 1. In order to match the different design requirements, the KP, VS/VPK can be adjusted according to the following equation: K LINE < 5.1 Transformer Turns Ratio Determination (12) According to the PFM principle, at the minimum input voltage VIN_RMS_MIN and the maximum output power (the maximum output voltage VO_MAX and constant output current IO) condition, the Flyback converter with AP1682 operates at the closest to DCM boundary mode. So from the equation (10) it can be get L p ⋅ I pk 2 ⋅ Vin _ rms _ min + Ls ⋅ I pks Vo _ max + Vd < Ls ⋅ I pks Vo _ max + Vd ⋅ 1 K c ⋅ K LINE ( K c ⋅ Vo _ max + Vd + 2 ⋅ Vin _ rms _ min ⋅ η t ) (15) Therefore, as to the higher output voltage (i.e., >200VDC) Buck-Boost application, the KP value should be set as the lower so that the converter keep operating at DCM mode. On the other hand, if the output voltage is the lower, the KP value should be set as the higher, so that the higher diode rectifier conduction duty cycle, the lower primary peak current, and the higher conversion efficiency. In order to guarantee the Flyback converter operating at DCM mode at the whole input range and output loading condition, the Tons, Tonp and Tsw should meet Tons + Tonp < Tsw 2 ⋅ Vin _ rms _ min ⋅ η t 5.2 The Current Sense Resistor Calculation The primary current sense resistor can be calculated according to equation (13) which is derived from equation (9) Rcs = (13) 2 ⋅η t N t ⋅ VCS ,EQ ⋅ K LINE 4 ⋅ IO = 2 N t ⋅ K LINE ⋅η t 9 ⋅ IO (16) 5.3 Transformer Inductance Design Where Vd isthe voltage drop on the secondary diode and trace resistance. From the transformer relationship between primary parameter and secondary parameter, it can be got: ⎛ ⎞ 2 ⋅ Vin _ rms _ min ⋅ηt 1 N t < ⎜⎜ − 1⎟⎟ ⋅ Vo _ max + Vd ⎝ K c ⋅ K LINE ⎠ Considering the efficiency and transformer size, the minimum switching frequency at low line input and maximum output loading is set as FSW_MIN, then it can be got (14) Vo _ max + Vd = Ls ⋅ The final turn ratio design should also be revised by considering the primary switch and secondary diode voltage stress requirements. Tons = Lp Nt 2 Nt ⋅ ⋅ K LINE ⋅ VCS _ REF ⋅ηt Rcs K c ⋅ K LINE Fsw _ min = L p ⋅ VCS _ REF ⋅ Fsw _ min ⋅ηt N t ⋅ K c ⋅ Rcs (17) From the above equation, the primary inductance LP is As we know, the Flyback converter is an isolated Buck-Boost type converter. So the AP1682 also can be used in non-isolated Buck-Boost application. The circuit structure and operation principle of Buck-Boost converter with AP1682 is very similar to the Flyback. As shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6, comparing to the Flyback application, the Buck-Boost converter has only inductor instead of transformer, has not primary snubber circuit. The most components of Flyback and Buck-Boost have same Apr. 2012 I pks Lp = N t ⋅ K c ⋅ Rcs ⋅ (Vo _ max + Vd ) VCS _ REF ⋅ Fsw _ min ⋅ηt (18) 5.4 Transformer Winding Turns Number Design The worst case operation condition of transformer is at peak voltage area of sine waveform input voltage in the minimum input voltage VIN_RMS_MIN and the maximum Rev. 2. 0 BCD Semiconductor Manufacturing Limited 5 Application Note 1066 output loading. The transformer design should be based on the worst case operation condition. The maximum on status average current of secondary diode is The effective area of ferrite core is Ae, and the maximum flux density Bm is I diode _ av _ max = Bm = L p ⋅ I pk = Ae ⋅ N p 4 ⋅ Lp ⋅ Io Then the primary winding turns number NP is Np = 4 ⋅ Lp ⋅ I o Np I s _ AC = − (21) Nt N s ⋅ Vccmax Vo _ min + Vd (23) ∆Vo = RLED ⋅ K cr ⋅ I o = I o ⋅ Here, the VSPK is the spike voltage which is result from the leakage inductance and depends on the primary peak current value and leakage inductance value, approximately about 100V to 200V. ⋅V 6 2 ⋅ R ⋅ Vin _ rms _ min ⋅ η t (24) Cout _ min 2 cs Apr. 2012 2 ⋅ Vin _ rms _ max Nt + (Vo _ max + Vd ) 1 + (4 ⋅ π ⋅ Fline ⋅ Cout ⋅ RLED ) 2 (30) 1 -1 2 K cr > 4 ⋅ π ⋅ Fline ⋅ RLED (31) It can be seen that the higher output current ripple, the higher required output capacitance. The worst case is when Kcr is 100%, the required output capacitance is 0, that means the maximum output current ripple amplitude (peak value) equals to the output current average value. The The maximum voltage stress of secondary diode is Vdiode _ max = RLED From the above equation, it can be seen that the higher output capacitance, the lower output current ripple. In order to meet output current Kcr*IO requirement, the minimum output capacitance Cout_min is The maximum Drain to Source current (RMS value) is 2 CS _ REF (29) The output capacitor is a capacitive load paralleled with output LED, so the output voltage ripple The maximum voltage stress of primary switch is VQds _ max = 2 ⋅ Vin _ rms _ max + N t * (Vo _ max + Vd ) + Vspk (28) ∆Vo = RLED ⋅ ∆I o 5.5 Primary Switch and Secondary Diode Selection N t ⋅ (Vo _ max + Vd ) ⋅ K c ⋅ K (27) Cos 2θ = − I o ⋅ Cos 2θ Generally Kcr is less than 30%. As to the definite LED loading, there is a dynamic resistance RLED at DC operation point, which can be calculated with the V-I curve of LED cells. So the output voltage ripple ∆VO is Here, VO_MIN is the minimum output voltage under the condition of the minimum LED cells and lowest LED cell forward voltage drop, VCCmax is the required maximum VCC voltage at that condition. I Qd _ RMS _ max = 4 ⋅ Rcs ∆I o = K cr ⋅ I o (22) 2 LINE 2 N t ⋅ VCS ,EQ ⋅ K LINE ⋅η t The maximum output ripple current ∆IO (peak value) is always defined by customer as The auxiliary winding turns number Naux is N aux = (26) From equation (8) it can be seen that the secondary side current includes DC components and double line frequency sine waveform AC component. The AC component of output current is Secondary side winding turns number NS is Ns = 4.5 ⋅ I o K LINE 5.6 Output Capacitor Selection (20) Ae ⋅ Bm ⋅ N t ⋅ K c ⋅ K LINE ⋅ηt 2 = According to the above calculated voltage and current stress, the proper MOSFET and Schottky diode part can be selected as primary switch and secondary rectifier. Certainly, the efficiency and BOM cost are also the important factors for components selection.

The higher dynamic resistance RLED, the lower output ripple current, the lower required output capacitance. Because there is a constant delay time Td_off from the time when CS pin voltage reaches the given reference to the time when the real primary peak current reaches peak value, the primary peak current value has a gap ∆Ipk with the ideal value 5.7 Input Voltage Sense Circuit Design The voltage range of the VS pin and VPK pin is from 0 to clamp level 3.5V. As to most of isolated Flyback application, the KLINE, the maximum value of VS/VPK, always sets as 1. It is recommended to set the maximum voltage of VS and VPK as 3V at the maximum input voltage Vin_rms_max. The VS pin resistor divider proportion should be set as R6 = R3 + R4 + R5 + R6 3 2 ⋅ Vin _ rms _ max 2 ⋅ Vin _ rms ⋅ sin θ = L p ⋅ (32) 2 ⋅ Vin _ rms ⋅ sin θ ⋅ = (33) (38) 6. Layout Consideration The PCB layout rules are highlighted as following: • The Flyback converter power current flow loop area should be minimized for better EMI performance • The R-RCD or DZ clamp snubber and output rectifier loop areas should be minimized to achieve good EMI and efficiency performance • The power ground and signal ground should be connected by one node. Common connection of GND will introduce disturbances to small signals. The ground of transformer must be separate from the ground of IC in order to pass ESD test. • C6 should be placed as close as possible to Pin VCC of the AP1682 respectively. Assume VCC auxiliary winding is tightly coupled with primary and secondary winding, the auxiliary winding voltage is (34) By sensing FB pin voltage, the LED driver can work at HICCUP mode and keep output voltage below the maximum output voltage limit value under no load or load disconnection conditions. The FB pin voltage at normal operation should be less than the minimum CV threshold, so the voltage divider at FB pin should meet Apr. 2012 (37) Lp Since the delay time Td_off includes IC internal delay time, about 60ns, and primary switch turn off delay time and fall time, this delay time value should be determined with the real design application. 5.8 FB Pin Sense Circuit Design N AUX R17 ⋅ (VO + V d ) ⋅ NS R16 + R17 2 ⋅ Vin _ rms ⋅ sin θ ⋅ Td _ off ⋅ R cs Td _ off ⋅ Rcs R12 = Rcomp + R12 Lp The RC low pass filter consists of R7 and C4. It is recommended use 1µF value for capacitor C4 and 330k for R7 so that the corner frequency should be less than 10Hz. 3= R12 + Rcs = Rcs ⋅ ∆I pk Rcomp + R12 + Rcs Since RCS<<R14, then In order to reduce the power loss on resistor connecting to DC bus, the total resistance of R3+R4+R5+R6 should be as large as possible. N AUX ⋅ (VO + Vd ) NS (36) A resistor RCOMP is connected from DC bus to CS pin in order to cancel the peak current gap ∆Ipk. The compensation circuit should meet Because VPK pin senses the peak value of sine waveforms, a low pass filter is required to get the average value of sine waveform voltage. So the VPK pin resistor divider proportion should be set as V AUX = Td _ off With the different input voltage, the different ∆IPK results in the different constant output current. Therefore, a line compensation circuit is necessary to decrease or eliminate this gap and achieve the better output current accuracy. A ceramic capacitor less than 100pF should be placed closely VS pin to GND pin to avoid high frequency noise.

Typical Application Schematic of Isolated Solution with AP1682 7.3 Design Parameter Calculation Components Selection 7.3.1 Transformer Parameter Determination and Certainly, the calculated results are theoretical value since of some assumed condition and parameter tolerance. So designer need fine-tune these design parameters to match the real design. For PSR isolated LED driver, the transformer parameters determine the power converter operation status, so firstly transformer design should be frozen, including primary to secondary winding turns ratio, primary winding inductance, etc. It is assumed that the secondary diode forward voltage drop Vd is about 0.4V, transformer converter ratio ηt is about 0.9 and the KLINE value is 1. According to design specification and equation (14), the maximum turn ratio should be Nt < 1.25 ⋅ 2 ⋅ Vin _ rms _ min ⋅ ηt Vo + Vd = 10 .9 According to LED power board size requirements, a EF16 ferrite core is chose as transformer core. The effective area of EF16 is 20.1mm2, the maximum flux density is set as 0.3T, so the primary winding turns number and secondary winding turn number are (39) Ns = Considering the primary switch and secondary diode voltage stress, the Nt is selected as 9. 2 N t ⋅ K LINE ⋅η t = 1.5 9 ⋅ IO (40) 0.444 ⋅ N t ⋅ Rcs ⋅ (Vo + Vd ) = 1.03m 1 ⋅ Fsw _ min ⋅ η t Apr. 2012 Np = 12.6 Nt = 114 (42) (43) (44) N p = N t ⋅ N s = 117 The VCCmax is set as 16V, so the VCC winding turns number is The primary winding inductance of transformer LP is calculated as Lp = Ae ⋅ Bm ⋅ N t ⋅ K c ⋅ K LINE ⋅ η t Because transformer winding turns number must be integer, so it can select NS as 13 TS, then primary winding turns number should be Then the primary sense resistor RCS is calculated as Rcs = 4 ⋅ Lp ⋅ I o Np = N aux = (41) Rev. 2. 0 N s ⋅ Vccmax = 16.7 ≈ 17 Vo + Vd (45) BCD Semiconductor Manufacturing Limited 8 Application Note 1066 7.3.2 Power Components Selection With the designed transformer turns ratio, the primary switch voltage stress is Figure 6 shows the LED cell in design example forward voltage forward current V-I curve characteristics. At the output current DC operation point, the current variation of each LED cell is 0.42A to 0.78A, and voltage variation is 3.45V to 4.1V. The output loading uses 4 pieces LED cells in series. So the dynamic resistance RLED is VQds _ max = 2 ⋅ Vin _ rms _ max + N t * (Vo _ max + Vd ) + Vspk = 2 ⋅ 265 + 9 ⋅ 12.4 + 100 = 586 (46) 4 ⋅ ∆VLED 4 ⋅ (4.1 − 3.45) = = 7.22 ∆I LED 0.78 − 0.42 Here, the VSPK is estimated about 100V. Therefore, a 600V MOSFET device can be used here. RLED = The primary switch maximum RMS current is The required output current ripple is defined as 30% of output current, Kcr=0.3. So at the 50Hz AC frequency condition, the required output capacitance should be I Qd _ RMS _ max = 2 N t ⋅ (Vo _ max + Vd ) ⋅ K LINE ⋅ K c ⋅ VCS2 _ REF 6 2 ⋅ RCS ⋅ Vin _ rms _ min ⋅ η t = 0.226 (47) Cout _ min Actually, in order to achieve the higher efficiency, the much more higher current stress MOSFET is always selected in real design to reduce the conduction power loss. 2 ⋅ Vin _ rms _ max Nt + (Vo _ max + Vd ) = 54 (48) R5 + R6 3⋅π 3⋅π = = R3 + R4 + R5 + R6 2 2 ⋅ Vin _ rms _ max 2 2 ⋅ 265 The maximum on status average current is I diode _ av _ max = 4.5 ⋅ I o = 2.7 K LINE (51) 7.3.4 External Circuit Design of AP1682 The maximum value of VPK pin is set as 3V, so the proportion of VPK sense circuit is as The secondary diode voltage stress is Vdiode _ max = 1 -1 2 K cr > = 700 µF 4 ⋅ π ⋅ Fline ⋅ RLED (50) (52) If R3 and R4 is selected as 1M, so the R5+R6 is calculated as about 25.4k. In order to achieve the DC average value of half rectified sine waveform, the low pass filter is necessary. So a 0.33µF capacitor C4 is paralleled with R7 of 330K here. (49) A 60V/3A Schottky diode SB360 can be selected here. If the higher efficiency is required, the higher current rating diode is preferred. The maximum value of VS pin is also set as 3V, so the proportion of VS sense circuit is as 7.3.3 Output Capacitance Calculation A big capacitance output capacitor is needed to eliminate the double line frequency output current ripple. This ripple is also relative to LED loading characteristics, dynamic resistance RLED near DC value current. R6 = R3 + R4 + R5 + R6 3 = 2 ⋅ Vin _ rms _ max 3 2 ⋅ 265 (53) So the R6 is calculated as about 16.2K. A ceramic capacitor C3 is paralleled between VS pin and Ground to bypass the high frequency noise. Too high capacitance will result in the distortion of sine waveform current reference, and then the worse Power Factor. So the capacitor less than 100pF value is recommended. The FB pin resistor divider is used to detect output voltage so that the power board can operate at no load condition. The FB pin OVP threshold is 4V, therefore, the resistor divider proportion is 3⋅ NS R17 = R16 + R17 N AUX ⋅ (VO + V d ) Figure 6.

Since the R8 and R9 value is much less than line compensation resistor value, the R20 is about half of line compensation value, 10M. Here, R16=52.3k and R17=12k are selected. The line compensation resistor value meet equation (55), if the Td_off is assumed about 80ns, so the line compensation resistor is Rline ⎛ T ⋅R R14 ⋅ ⎜1 − d _ off cs ⎜ L p ⎝ = Td _ off ⋅ Rcs Lp ⎞ ⎟ 2.4 K ⋅ ⎛1 − 80 n ⋅ 1.5 ⎞ ⎜ ⎟ ⎟ 1m ⎠ ⎝ ⎠= ≈ 20 M 80 n ⋅ 1.5 1m Item Description QTY C1 33nF/400V, X-capacitor 1 C2 100nF/400V, capacitor CL21 1 C3 100pF/16V, 0603, ceramic capacitor 1 C4 330nF/16V, 0603, ceramic capacitor 1 C5 1µF/25V, 1206, ceramic capacitor 1 C6 1nF/100V, 1206, ceramic capacitor 1 C7 1500µF/16V, 105ºC, 10mm*20mm electrolytic capacitor 1 C8 1nF/ 500V 0805, ceramic capacitor 1 2.2nF/275V, Y safety capacitor 1 D1 Diode, 1N4148, SOD-323 1 D2 1A/600V, SMA, US1J 1 D3 BCD, APD360VRT-G1, 3A/60V, Schottky diode, SMA 1 TVS 150V, SMA 1 7.5mH, Inductor,Φ6.5mm*12.5mm 2 F1 Fuse, 1.25A/250V 1 VR1 Varistor 07D471K 1 BD1 0.5A/600V,TO-269AA,MB6S 1 R1,R2 10KΩ, 5%, 1206, resistor 2 R3, R4 1MΩ, 1%,1206, resistor 2 R5 11KΩ, 1%, 0603, resistor 1 R6 16KΩ, 1%,0603, resistor 1 R7 330KΩ, 5%,0603, resistor 1 CY1 ZD1 L1,L2 Apr. 2012 7.4 The Material BOM List of Isolated Solution with AP1682 (55) Rev. 2. 0 BCD Semiconductor Manufacturing Limited 10 Application Note 1066 Item Description QTY R8,R9 750KΩ, 5%,1206, resistor 2 R10 100KΩ, 5%,0603, resistor 1 R11 20Ω, 5%,0603 , resistor 1 R12 3K3, 5%,0603 , resistor 1 R13 2R4, 1%,1206 , resistor 1 R14 3R3, 1%, 1206, resistor 1 R15 10Ω, 5%, 0805, resistor 1 R16 52.3KΩ, 1%,0603 , resistor 1 R17 12KΩ, 1%,0603 , resistor 1 R18 18KΩ, 5%,1206, resistor 1 R19 100Ω, 5%,1206, resistor 1 R20 10MΩ, 5%, 1206, resistor 1 R21 47R, 5%, 1206, resistor 1 R22 200KΩ, 5%, 1206, resistor 1 T1 EF16 10 pin 950µH, 5%,Transformer 1 U1 AP1682MTR-G1, SOIC-8, BCD’s IC 1 Q1 MOSFET, Infineon, SPI04N60, 4A/600V ,TO-251 1 7.5 Transformer Specifications 7.5.1.
