Designs using the highly integrated LinkSwitch-TNZ ICs are more flexible than discrete implementations reducing component count by 40% or higher. Besides enabling 80+ efficiencies in low power flyback designs, very low consumption at light loads enabled by On/Off control allow for more functions (display, wireless connectivity, sensors etc.) to be active during system standby. The device family supports buck, buck-boost and flyback converter topologies. Each device incorporates a 725 V power MOSFET, oscillator, a high-voltage switched current source for self-biasing, frequency jittering, fast (cycle-by-cycle) current limit, hysteretic thermal shutdown, and output and input overvoltage protection circuitry onto a monolithic IC. LinkSwitch-TNZ ICs consume <100 mA current in standby resulting in power supply designs that can meet no-load and standby regulations worldwide. MOSFET current limit modes can be selected through the BYPASS pin capacitor value. The high current limit level provides maximum continuous output current while the low level permits using very low-cost and small surface mount inductors. A full suite of protection features enables safe and reliable power supplies protecting the device and the system against input and output overvoltage faults, device over-temperature faults, lost regulation, and power supply output overload or short-circuit faults. www.power.com + Zero Cross Signal PI-9175-060820 Figure 1.

LinkSwitch-TNZ-3

LinkSwitch-TNZ LinkSwitch-TNZ Functional Description Oscillator The typical oscillator frequency is internally set to an average of fOSC (66 kHz). Two signals are generated from the oscillator: the maximum duty cycle signal (DC(MAX)) and the clock signal that indicates the beginning of each cycle. The LinkSwitch-TNZ oscillator incorporates circuitry that introduces a small amount of frequency jitter, typically 4 kHz peak-to-peak, to minimize EMI emission. The modulation rate of the frequency jitter is set to 1 kHz to optimize EMI reduction for both average and quasipeak emissions. The frequency...

LinkSwitch-TNZ-4

LinkSwitch-TNZ Hysteretic Output Overvoltage Protection The output overvoltage protection provided by the LinkSwitch-TNZ IC uses auto-restart that is triggered by a current >IBPSD into the BYPASS pin. In addition to an internal filter, the BYPASS pin capacitor forms an external filter providing noise immunity from inadvertent triggering. For the bypass capacitor to be effective as a high frequency filter, the capacitor should be located as close as possible to the SOURCE and BYPASS pins of the device. The OVP function can be realized in a flyback converter by connecting a Zener diode from the...
