Design Highlights

• 180 W cont. (200 W peak) in PC SFX form factor

• Includes passive power factor correction (PFC)

• TOPSwitch-GX integrated features enable extremely low

component count

• Meets 1 W standby spec (0.91 W input, 0.5 W output)

• High efficiency (71% minimum)

• Integrated line undervoltage and overvoltage detection

• Low EMI due to frequency jitter

• SOURCE referenced TO-220 tab lowers conducted EMI

• Maximum duty cycle reduction (DC

saturation for fault and transient loads

• Uses conventional magamp for 3.3 V output

• Meets CISPR22B/EN55022B conducted EMI

Operation

TOPSwitch-GX integrates many features designed for use with

forward converters. Passive power factor correction (PFC) is

implemented using inductors LPFC1 and LPFC2. Transistors

Q4, Q6, R1, R2, R3, R5, and R6 form an active capacitor (C2,

C3) balancing circuit, operating only as needed to minimize

zero-load power consumption.

Resistors R3, R5 and R6 implement start-up undervoltage

lockout, which prevents the supply from starting below

180 VDC. Components R4, R14, Q1 and R30 implement an

independent undervoltage using the X pin, which allows the

supply to continue delivering power all the way down to

140 VDC (increasing holdup time). Resistor R7 provides

additional hysteresis.

The primary side components D1, VR3-5 and C4, along with

secondary side C9 and R30, implement the Zener/capacitor

reset/clamp circuit. This circuit provides reset voltage for the

transformer and clamps the DRAIN pin voltage to a safe level

(<~600 V) under all conditions.

The reset circuit works in conjunction with the DC

MAX

reduction circuit (R8, R36, C22, VR19 and D18) to limit the

maximum duty cycle and prevent transformer saturation

under fault and transient conditions.
