Description
The TinySwitch family uses a breakthrough design to provide the lowest cost, high efficiency, off-line switcher solution in the 0 to 10 W range. These devices integrate a 700 V power MOSFET, oscillator, high voltage switched current source, current limit and thermal shutdown circuitry. They start-up and run on power derived from the DRAIN voltage, eliminating the need for a transformer bias winding and the associated circuitry. And yet, they consume only about 80 mW at no load, from 265 VAC input. A simple ON/OFF control scheme also eliminates the need for loop compensation. The TNY253 and TNY254 switch at 44 kHz to minimize EMI and to allow a simple snubber clamp to limit DRAIN spike

voltage. At the same time, they allow use of low cost EE16 core transformers to deliver up to 5 W. The TNY253 is identical to TNY254 except for its lower current limit, which reduces output short circuit current for applications under 2.5 W. TNY255 uses higher switching rate of 130 kHz to deliver up to 10 W from the same low cost EE16 core for applications such as PC standby supply. An EE13 or EF13 core with safety spaced bobbin can be used for applications under 2.5 W. Absence of a bias winding eliminates the need for taping/ margins in most applications, when triple insulated wire is used for the secondary. This simplifies the transformer construction and reduces cost.

circuit, Hysteretic Over Temperature Protection, Current Limit circuit, Leading Edge Blanking, and a 700 V power MOSFET. Figure 2 shows a functional block diagram with the most important features. Oscillator The oscillator frequency is internally set at 44 kHz (130 kHz for the TNY255). The two signals of interest are the Maximum Duty Cycle signal (DMAX) which runs at typically 67% duty cycle and the Clock signal that indicates the beginning of each cycle. When cycles are skipped (see below), the oscillator frequency doubles (except for TNY255 which remains at 130 kHz). This increases the sampling rate at the ENABLE pin for faster loop response. Enable (Sense and Logic) The ENABLE pin circuit has a source follower input stage set at 1.5 V. The input current is clamped by a current source set at 50 µA with 10 µA hysteresis. The output of the enable sense

TinySwitch Functional Description
TinySwitch is intended for low power off-line applications. It combines a high voltage power MOSFET switch with a power supply controller in one device. Unlike a conventional PWM (Pulse Width Modulator) controller, the TinySwitch uses a simple ON/OFF control to regulate the output voltage. The TinySwitch controller consists of an Oscillator, Enable (Sense and Logic) circuit, 5.8 V Regulator, Under-Voltage

circuit is sampled at the rising edge of the oscillator Clock signal (at the beginning of each cycle). If it is high, then the power MOSFET is turned on (enabled) for that cycle, otherwise the power MOSFET remains in the off state (cycle skipped). Since the sampling is done only once at the beginning of each cycle, any subsequent changes at the ENABLE pin during the cycle are ignored. 5.8 V Regulator The 5.8 V regulator charges the bypass capacitor connected to the BYPASS pin to 5.8 V by drawing a current from the voltage on the DRAIN, whenever the MOSFET is off. The BYPASS pin is the internal supply voltage node for the TinySwitch. When the MOSFET is on, the TinySwitch runs off of the energy stored in the bypass capacitor. Extremely low power consumption of the internal circuitry allows the TinySwitch to operate continuously from the current drawn from the DRAIN pin. A bypass capacitor value of 0.1 µF is sufficient for both high frequency de-coupling and energy storage. Under Voltage The under-voltage circuitry disables the power MOSFET when the BYPASS pin voltage drops below 5.1 V. Once the BYPASS pin voltage drops below 5.1 V, it has to rise back to 5.8 V to enable (turn-on) the power MOSFET. Hysteretic Over Temperature Protection The thermal shutdown circuitry senses the die junction temperature. The threshold is set at 135 °C with 70 °C hysteresis. When the junction temperature rises above this threshold (135 °C) the power MOSFET is disabled and remains disabled until the die junction temperature falls by 70 °C, at which point it is re-enabled. Current Limit The current limit circuit senses the current in the power MOSFET. When this current exceeds the internal threshold (ILIMIT), the power MOSFET is turned off for the remainder of that cycle. The leading edge blanking circuit inhibits the current limit comparator for a short time (tLEB) after the power MOSFET is turned on. This leading edge blanking time has been set so that current spikes caused by primary-side capacitance and secondary-side rectifier reverse recovery time will not cause premature termination of the switching pulse. device are constant, the power delivered is proportional to the primary inductance of the transformer and is relatively independent of the input voltage. Therefore, the design of the power supply involves calculating the primary inductance of the transformer for the maximum power required. As long as the TinySwitch device chosen is rated for the power level at the lowest input voltage, the calculated inductance will ramp up the current to the current limit before the DCMAX limit is reached. Enable Function The TinySwitch senses the ENABLE pin to determine whether or not to proceed with the next switch cycle as described earlier. Once a cycle is started TinySwitch always completes the cycle (even when the ENABLE pin changes state half way through the cycle). This operation results in a power supply whose output voltage ripple is determined by the output capacitor, amount of energy per switch cycle and the delay of the ENABLE feedback. The ENABLE signal is generated on the secondary by comparing the power supply output voltage with a reference voltage. The ENABLE signal is high when the power supply output voltage is less than the reference voltage. In a typical implementation, the ENABLE pin is driven by an optocoupler. The collector of the optocoupler transistor is connected to the ENABLE pin and the emitter is connected to the SOURCE pin. The optocoupler LED is connected in series with a Zener across the DC output voltage to be regulated. When the output voltage exceeds the target regulation voltage level (optocoupler diode voltage drop plus Zener voltage), the optocoupler diode will start to conduct, pulling the ENABLE pin low. The Zener could be replaced by a TL431 device for improved accuracy. The ENABLE pin pull-down current threshold is nominally 50 µA, but is set to 40 µA the instant the threshold is exceeded. This is reset to 50 µA when the ENABLE pull-down current drops below the current threshold of 40 µA. ON/OFF Control The internal clock of the TinySwitch runs all the time. At the beginning of each clock cycle the TinySwitch samples the ENABLE pin to decide whether or not to implement a switch cycle. If the ENABLE pin is high (< 40 µA), then a switching cycle takes place. If the ENABLE pin is low (greater than 50 µA) then no switching cycle occurs, and the ENABLE pin status is sampled again at the start of the subsequent clock cycle. At full load TinySwitch will conduct during the majority of its clock cycles (Figure 4). At loads less than full load, the TinySwitch will "skip" more cycles in order to maintain voltage regulation at the secondary output (Figure 5). At light load or no load, almost all cycles will be skipped (Figure 6). A small

TinySwitch Operation
TinySwitch is intended to operate in the current limit mode. When enabled, the oscillator turns the power MOSFET on at the beginning of each cycle. The MOSFET is turned off when the current ramps up to the current limit. The maximum ontime of the MOSFET is limited to DCMAX by the oscillator. Since the current limit and frequency of a given TinySwitch

percentage of cycles will conduct to support the power consumption of the power supply. The response time of TinySwitch ON/OFF control scheme is very fast compared to normal PWM control. This provides high line ripple rejection and excellent transient response. Power Up/Down TinySwitch requires only a 0.1 µF capacitor on the BYPASS pin. Because of the small size of this capacitor, the power-up delay is kept to an absolute minimum, typically 0.3 ms (Figure 7). Due to the fast nature of the ON/OFF feedback, there is no overshoot at the power supply output. During power-down, the power MOSFET will switch until the rectified line voltage drops to approximately 12 V. The power MOSFET will then remain off without any glitches (Figure 8). Bias Winding Eliminated TinySwitch does not require a bias winding to provide power to the chip. Instead it draws the power directly from the DRAIN pin (see Functional Description above). This has two main benefits. First for a nominal application, this eliminates the cost of an extra bias winding and associated components. Secondly, for charger applications, the current-voltage characteristic often allows the output voltage to fall to low values while still delivering power. This type of application normally requires a forward-bias winding which has many more associated components, none of which are necessary with TinySwitch. Current Limit Operation Each switching cycle is terminated when the DRAIN current reaches the current limit of the TinySwitch. For a given primary

inductance and input voltage, the duty cycle is constant. However, duty cycle does change inversely with the input voltage providing "voltage feed-forward" advantages: good line ripple rejection and relatively constant power delivery independent of the input voltage. 44 kHz Switching Frequency (TNY253/254) Switching frequency (with no cycle skipping) is set at 44 kHz. This provides several advantages. At higher switching frequencies, the capacitive switching losses are a significant proportion of the power losses in a power supply. At higher frequencies, the preferred snubbing schemes are RCD or diodeZener clamps. However, due to the lower switching frequency of TinySwitch , it is possible to use a simple RC snubber (and even just a capacitor alone in 115 VAC applications at powers levels below 4 W). Secondly, a low switching frequency also reduces EMI filtering requirements. At 44 kHz, the first, second and third harmonics are all below 150 kHz where the EMI limits are not very restrictive. For power levels below 4 W it is possible to meet worldwide EMI requirements with only resistive and capacitive filter elements (no inductors or chokes). This significantly reduces EMI filter costs. Finally, if the application requires stringent noise emissions (such as video applications), then the TNY253/254 will allow more effective use of diode snubbing (and other secondary snubbing techniques). The lower switching frequency allows RC snubbers to be used to reduce noise, without significantly impacting the efficiency of the supply.

Application Examples
Television Standby TinySwitch is an ideal solution for low cost, high efficiency standby power supplies used in consumer electronic products such as TVs. Figure 9 shows a 7.5 V, 1.3 W flyback circuit that uses TNY253 for implementing a TV standby supply. The circuit operates from the DC high voltage already available from the main power supply. This input voltage can range from 120 to 375 VDC depending on the input AC voltage range that the TV is rated for. Capacitor C1 filters the high voltage DC supply, and is necessary only if there is a long trace length from the source of the DC supply to the inputs of the TV standby circuit. The high voltage DC bus is applied to the series combination of the primary winding of T1 and the integrated high voltage MOSFET inside the TNY253. The low operating frequency of the TNY253 (44 kHz), allows a low cost snubber circuit C2 and R1 to be used in place of a primary clamp circuit. In addition to limiting the DRAIN turn off voltage spike to a safe value, the RC snubber also reduces radiated video noise by

lowering the dv/dt of the DRAIN waveform, which is critical for video applications such as TV and VCR. On fixed frequency PWM and RCC circuits, use of a snubber will result in an undesirable fixed AC switching loss that is independent of load. The ON/OFF control on the TinySwitch eliminates this problem by scaling the effective switching frequency and therefore, switching loss linearly with load. Thus the efficiency of the supply stays relatively constant down to a fraction of a watt of output loading. The secondary winding is rectified and filtered by D1 and C4 to create the 7.5 V output. L1 and C5 provide additional filtering. The output voltage is determined by the sum of the optocoupler U2 LED forward drop (~ 1 V) and Zener diode VR1 voltage. The resistor R2, maintains a bias current through the Zener to improve its voltage tolerance.

Figure 10. 10 W Standby Supply Circuit.

10 W Standby The TNY255 is ideal for standby applications that require up to 10 W of power from 230 VAC or 100/115 VAC with doubler circuit. The TNY255 operates at 130 kHz as opposed to 44 kHz for TNY253/254. The higher frequency operation allows the use of a low cost EE16 core transformer up to the 10 W level. Figure 10 shows a 5 V, 10 W circuit for such an application. The circuit operates from the high voltage DC supply already available from the main power supply. Capacitor C1 filters the high voltage DC supply, and is necessary only if there is a long trace length from the source of the DC supply to the inputs of the standby circuit. The high voltage DC bus is applied to the primary winding of T1 in series with the integrated high voltage

MOSFET inside the TNY255. The diode D1, capacitor C2 and resistor R1 comprise the clamp circuit that limits the turn-off voltage spike on the TinySwitch DRAIN pin to a safe value. The secondary winding is rectified and filtered by D2 and C4 to provide the 5 V ouput. Additional filtering is provided by L1 and C5. The output voltage is determined by the sum of the optocoupler U2 LED forward drop (~ 1 V) and Zener diode VR1 voltage. The resistor R2, maintains a bias current through the Zener to improve its voltage tolerance. For tighter tolerance, a TL431 precision reference IC feedback circuit may be used.

constant voltage and constant current output. TinySwitch is always powered from the input high voltage, therefore it does not require bias winding for power. Consequently, its operation is not dependent on the level of the output voltage. This allows for constant current charger designs that work down to zero volts on the output. Figure 11 shows a 5.2 V, 3.6 W cellular phone charger circuit that uses the TNY254 and provides constant voltage and constant current output over an universal input (85 to 265 VAC) range. The AC input is rectified and filtered by D1 - D4, C1 and C2 to

create a high voltage DC bus connected to T1 in series with the high voltage MOSFET inside the TNY254. The inductor L1 forms a -filter in conjunction with C1 and C2. The resistor R1 damps resonances in the inductor L1. The low frequency of operation of TNY254 (44 kHz) allows use of the simple -filter described above in combination with a single Y1-capacitor C8 to meet worldwide conducted EMI standards. The diode D6, capacitor C4 and resistor R2 comprise the clamp circuit that limits the turn-off voltage spike on the TinySwitch DRAIN pin to a safe value. The secondary winding is rectified and filtered by D5 and C5 to provide the 5.2 V output. Additional filtering

is provided by L2 and C6. The output voltage is determined by the sum of the optocoupler U2 LED forward drop (~ 1 V) and Zener diode VR1 voltage. The resistor R8, maintains a bias current through the Zener to improve its voltage tolerance. A simple constant current circuit is implemented using the VBE of transistor Q1 to sense the voltage across the current sense resistor R4, which can be made up of one or more resistors to achieve the appropriate value. R3 is a base current limiting resistor. When the drop across R4 exceeds the VBE of transistor Q1, it turns on and takes over the control of the loop by driving the optocoupler LED. R6 drops an additional voltage to keep the control loop in operation down to zero volts on the output. With the output shorted, the drop across R4 and R6 (~ 1.5 V) is sufficient to keep the Q1 and LED circuit active. Resistors R7 and R9 limit the forward current that could be drawn through VR1 by Q1 under output short circuit conditions, due to the voltage drop across R6 and R4. AC Adapter Many consumer electronic products utilize low power 50/60 Hz transformer based AC adapters. The TinySwitch can cost effectively replace these linear adapters with a solution that is lighter, smaller and more energy efficient . Figure 12 shows a 9 V, 0.5 W AC adapter circuit using the TNY253. This circuit operates from a 115 VAC input. To save cost, this circuit runs without any feedback, in discontinuous conduction mode to deliver constant power output relatively independent of input voltage. The output voltage is determined by the voltage drop across Zener diode VR1. The primary inductance of the transformer is chosen to deliver a power that is in excess of the required output power by at least 50% to allow for component tolerances and to maintain some current through the Zener VR1 at full load. At no load, all of the power is delivered to the Zener which should be rated and heat sinked accordingly. In spite of a constant power consumption from the mains input, this solution is still significantly more efficient than linear adapters up to output power levels of approximately 1 W. The AC input is rectified by diodes D1 and D2. D2 is used to reduce conducted EMI by only allowing noise onto the neutral line during diode conduction. The rectified AC is then filtered by capacitors C1 and C2 to generate a high voltage DC bus, which is applied to the series combination of the primary winding of T1 and the high voltage MOSFET inside the TNY253. The resistor R2 along with capacitors C1 and C2 form a -filter which is sufficient for meeting EMI conducted emissions at these power levels. C5 is a Y-capacitor which is used to reduce common mode EMI. Due to the 700 V rating of the TinySwitch MOSFET, a simple capacitive snubber (C4) is adequate to limit the leakage inductance spike in 115 VAC applications, at low power levels. The secondary winding is rectified and filtered by D3 and C6.

Key Application Considerations
For the most up to date information visit our Web site at: www.powerint.com Design Output Power Range The power levels shown in the TinySwitch Selection Guide (Table 1) are approximate, recommended output power ranges that will provide a cost optimum design and are based on following assumptions: 1. The minimum DC input voltage is 90 V or higher for 85 VAC input or 240 V or higher for 230 VAC input or 115 VAC input with a voltage doubler. 2. The TinySwitch is not thermally limited-the source pins are soldered to sufficient copper area to keep the die temperature at or below 100 °C. This limitation does not usually apply to TNY253 and TNY254. The maximum power capability of a TinySwitch depends on the thermal environment, transformer core size and design (continuous or discontinuous), efficiency required, minimum specified input voltage, input storage capacitance, output voltage, output diode forward drop, etc., and can be different from the values shown in the selection guide. Audible Noise At loads other than maximum load, the cycle skipping mode operation used in TinySwitch can generate audio frequency components in the transformer. This can cause the transformer to produce audio noise. Transformer audible noise can be reduced by utilizing appropriate transformer construction techniques and decreasing the peak flux density. For more information on audio suppression techniques, please check the Application Notes section on our Web site at www.powerint.com. Ceramic capacitors that use dielectrics such as Z5U, when used in clamp and snubber circuits, can also generate audio noise due to electrostriction and piezo-electric effects. If this is the case, replacing them with a capacitor having a different type of dielectric is the simplest solution. Polyester film capacitor is a good alternative. Short Circuit Current The TinySwitch does not have an auto-restart feature. As a result, TinySwitch will continue to deliver power to the load during output short circuit conditions. In the worst case, peak short circuit current is equal to the primary current limit (ILIMIT) multiplied by the turns ratio of the transformer (Np/Ns). In a typical design the average current is 25 to 50% lower than this peak value. At the power levels of TinySwitch this is easily

accommodated by rating the output diode to handle the short circuit current. The short circuit current can be minimized by choosing the smallest (lowest current limit) TinySwitch for the required power. Layout Single Point Grounding Use a single point ground connection at the SOURCE pin for the BYPASS pin capacitor and the Input Filter Capacitor (see Figure 13). Primary Loop Area The area of the primary loop that connects the input filter capacitor, transformer primary and TinySwitch together, should be kept as small as possible. Primary Clamp Circuit A clamp or snubber circuit is used to minimize peak voltage and ringing on the DRAIN pin at turn-off. This can be achieved by using an RC snubber for less than 3 W or an RCD clamp as shown in Figure 13 for higher power. A Zener and diode clamp across the primary or a single 550 V Zener clamp from DRAIN to SOURCE can also be used. In all cases care should be taken to minimize the circuit path from the snubber/clamp components to the transformer and TinySwitch. Thermal Considerations Copper underneath the TinySwitch acts not only as a single point ground, but also as a heatsink. The hatched area shown in Figure 13 should be maximized for good heat-sinking of TinySwitch and output diode.

Y-Capacitor The placement of the Y-capacitor should be directly from the primary single point ground to the common/return terminal on the secondary side. Such placement will maximize the EMI benefit of the Y-capacitor. Optocoupler It is important to maintain the minimum circuit path from the optocoupler transistor to the TinySwitch ENABLE and SOURCE pins to minimize noise coupling. Output Diode For best performance, the area of the loop connecting the secondary winding, the Output Diode and the Output Filter Capacitor, should be minimized. See Figure 13 for optimized layout. In addition, sufficient copper area should be provided at the anode and cathode terminals of the diode to adequately heatsink the diode under output short circuit conditions. Input and Output Filter Capacitors There are constrictions in the traces connected to the input and output filter capacitors. These constrictions are present for two reasons. The first is to force all the high frequency currents to flow through the capacitor (if the trace were wide then it could flow around the capacitor). Secondly, the constrictions minimize the heat transferred from the TinySwitch to the input filter capacitor and from the secondary diode to the output filter capacitor. The common/return (the negative output terminal in Figure 13) terminal of the output filter capacitor should be connected with a short, low resistance path to the secondary winding. In addition, the common/return output connection should be taken directly from the secondary winding pin and not from the Y-capacitor connection point.

NOTES: A. For a threshold with a negative value, negative hysteresis is a decrease in magnitude of the corresponding threshold. B. Total current consumption is the sum of IS1 and IDSS when ENABLE pin is shorted to ground (MOSFET not switching) and the sum of IS2 and IDSS when ENABLE pin is open (MOSFET switching). C. Since the output MOSFET is switching, it is difficult to isolate the switching current from the supply current at the DRAIN. An alternative is to measure the BYPASS pin current at 6.2 V. D. Bypass pin is not intended for sourcing supply current to external circuitry. E. See typical performance characteristics section for BYPASS pin start-up charging waveform. F. For current limit at other di/dt values, refer to current limit vs. di/dt curve under typical performance characteristics. G. This parameter is derived from the change in current limit measured at 5X and 10X of the di/dt shown in the ILIMIT specification.
