Range Cooling Method / Supply Orientation Signal Level Control Circuit Description This circuit is a very simple buck regulator configured for a non-input isolated, 3 W bias power supply for appliances, industrial electronic equipment or the primary circuitry of a larger power supply. This specific example is a 15 Vdc at 75 mA with a 125 mA output resistively lowered to 12 Vdc for a small, optional dc cooling fan. If desired, the fan output can be eliminated and the full 200 mA with a 250 mA surge can be provided by the 15 Vdc output. By choosing the correct zener voltage for Z1, most voltages from 5 V to over 28 V can be configured. The key to the simple circuitry is the use of ON Semiconductor’s NCP1055 monolithic controller with an internal 700 V MOSFET. The controller works as a gated oscillator which shuts off when the sense input level on pin 2 exceeds about 4.7 volts. The output voltage is sensed using a “bootstrap” circuit composed of R1, D3, and C4 which allows accurate sensing despite having the ground reference at a switching node (cathode of D4). By using the gated oscillator approach instead of March 2009, Rev. 0 conventional, analog PWM control, maximum simplicity is achieved without stability or control loop issues. The amplitude of the output ripple can be controlled by the inductance value of L1 and the inherent ESR of output capacitor C5. For voltages less than 9 Vdc it may be necessary to slightly increase both the inductance and capacitance values of these components.
