Circuit Description
This Design Note describes a very simple, low
cost, yet high performance dc-to-dc converter
using ON Semiconductor’s NCP1251B current
mode controller (TSOP6 package) and the
NCP431 programmable zener (SOT23 package).
The 65 kHz flyback converter design operates in
discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) and uses
the conventional optocoupler (U2) feedback
scheme for the voltage loop. Vcc for the
NCP1251 current mode controller is derived
directly from the dc input voltage via D2 and R1.
The Design Note provides the complete circuit
and transformer design details for a 12 volt, 3
amp output version. Other output voltages from
3.3 up to 28 Vdc are easy to implement by
modifying the values (or ratings) of R8, R11,
R12, C9, D5 and T1’s secondary turns.

Over-current limiting is provided by sensing the
peak current in the MOSFET Q1 via R6. Once
the 800 mV threshold level on U1’s pin 4 is
exceeded the circuit will go a “hiccup” mode until
the over-current condition is removed. A Vcc
OVP circuit is implemented via Z1, while D1 (and
fuse F1) provide reverse voltage polarity for the
dc input.
Depending on the application, it may be
necessary to add a small pi-network ripple filter
to the output as shown in the lower section of the
schematic below.
Key Features
 Input EMI filter (L1, C1) for input EMI
compliance
 Schottky output rectifier for high efficiency
 Current mode control
 Small pc board footprint
 Low cost component

NOTES:
1. Crossed lines on schematic are NOT connected.
2. U2 is NEC PS2561L-1 or equivalent optocoupler (CTR > 50%).
3. L1 is Wurth 744 772 100 inductor (10 uH, 2.6A)
4. Output caps (C9A/B/C) are radial lead, low impedance types (UCC LXV series or similar).
5. R12 sets Vout.
6. R6A/B sets max output current (0.1 ohms, 2W total for 40Woutput)
7. D1 is for reverse input polarity protection.
8. Q1 is an NTP6410AN on small TO-220 heatsink.
