LinkSwitch-CV

Product catalog summary
Overview
The LinkSwitch-CV family provides energy-efficient, off-line switchers with precise primary-side constant-voltage (CV) control, eliminating the need for optocouplers and secondary CV control circuitry. This results in simplified CV converter design and tight output voltage regulation.
Output Power Specifications
The output power varies by product and input voltage range. For instance, the LNK623PG/DG delivers 6.5 W at 230 VAC and 5.0 W at 85-265 VAC for adapters, with increased power for open frame designs.
Product Highlights
  • Eliminates optocoupler and secondary CV control circuitry.
  • Self-biasing IC compensates for temperature variations.
  • Advanced protection features like auto-restart and thermal shutdown.
  • EcoSmart® technology ensures energy efficiency, complying with global regulations.
  • Green package: Halogen-free and RoHS compliant.
Applications
Applicable in DVDs, set-top boxes, adapters, standby supplies, home appliances, and industrial controls.
Functional Description
The LinkSwitch-CV integrates a high voltage power MOSFET with a power supply controller, using ON/OFF control to regulate output voltage and features like frequency jittering and current limit circuits.
Protection Features
  • Auto-restart reduces power during faults.
  • Thermal shutdown with automatic recovery.
  • Current limit circuit prevents excessive current flow.
Application Example
A typical application is a three-output, primary-side regulated flyback power supply using the LNK626PG, capable of delivering 7 W continuously and 10 W peak.
Key Application Considerations
  • Output power table assumes specific conditions like 5 V output with Schottky diode and 80% efficiency.
  • Bypass pin capacitor should be 1 μF, located close to the BYPASS pin.
  • Good PCB design practices are crucial for stable operation.
Design Guidelines
  • Single point grounding improves surge capabilities.
  • Minimize secondary loop area to reduce EMI.
  • Provide sufficient copper area for heat dissipation.
Spark Gap Design
A trace is used as one electrode of a spark gap along the isolation barrier, directing ESD energy from the secondary to the primary side AC input. A 10 mil gap is recommended to decouple noise and prevent circuit damage.
PCB Layout Recommendations
Figures illustrate recommended PCB layouts with and without external bias, emphasizing minimizing drain trace area, maximizing copper area for heat sinking, and ensuring feedback resistors are close to the device.
Clamp Circuit Design
Discusses the use of clamp circuits to manage primary leakage inductance and reduce voltage overshoot, providing component recommendations and configurations for different inductance levels.
Clampless Design Guidelines
For designs with output power ≤5 W, clampless designs are feasible with specific requirements. For higher power, external clamps are necessary.
Pulse Grouping and Output Ripple
Explains the impact of diode recovery speed on feedback voltage ringing and output ripple, providing solutions to minimize pulse grouping and improve regulation.
Quick Design Checklist
A checklist is provided to verify maximum drain voltage, current, and thermal conditions under worst-case scenarios.
Specifications and Ratings
Detailed specifications for control functions, thermal impedance, and circuit protection are provided, including maximum ratings and typical performance characteristics.
Testing and Measurement
Figures illustrate various performance characteristics and test setups for feedback pin measurements.
Test Procedures
Includes procedures for adjusting P voltage, measuring VFBth, and testing leakage and breakdown characteristics.
Package Specifications
Conforms to JEDEC specification MS-001-AB for standard dual-in-line (DIP) package, with dimensions primarily in inches and millimeter equivalents in parentheses.
Ordering Information
Includes LinkSwitch Product Family, CV Series Number, Package Identifier, and options for standard configurations or Tape & Reel for D Package.

s), whilst keeping the disable period of 2.5 seconds. This effectively reduces the Auto-Restart duty cycle to less than 0.01%. > Constant Voltage (CV) Operation > The controller regulates the feedback pin voltage to remain at V Over-Temperature Protection The thermal shutdown circuitry senses the die temperature. The threshold is set at 142 C typical with a 60 аC hysteresis. When the die temperature rises above this threshold (142 C) the power MOSFET is disabled and remains disabled until the die temperature falls by 60 аC, at which point the MOSFET is re-enabled. The LinkSwitch-CV combines a...

Single Point Grounding Use a single point (Kelvin) connection at the negative terminal of the input fi lter capacitor for the LinkSwitch-CV SOURCE pin and bias winding return. This improves surge capabilities by returning surge currents from the bias winding directly to the input fi lter capacitor. Bypass Capacitor The BYPASS pin capacitor should be located as close as possible to the SOURCE and BYPASS pins. Feedback Resistors Place the feedback resistors directly at the FEEDBACK pin of the LinkSwitch-CV device. This minimizes noise coupling. Thermal Considerations The copper area connected to...
