DI-20
The components R12, C7, R38, Q7, C23, R37, U3, R106 and
D105 implement the remote ON/OFF drive circuit. During
the ON state, U3 and hence Q7 conduct pulling the X pin to
SOURCE via resistor R12 (which sets the current limit).

gauss
• Checkforbalancedcurrentsoncoupledinductor(L1), forall
load combinations
• Use PI Expert (PIXls) Design Spreadsheet and refer to
Application Note AN-30, for details on designing forward
converters with TOPSwitch-GX
During the OFF state, U3 and Q7 are off, allowing the X pin
tobepulledhighbythe+15VstandbysupplyviaR38andR12
andputtingtheTOPSwitch-GX intotheOFFstate.Components
R38 and D105 reduce device consumption to around 2 mW
by supplying external current to the CONTROL pin from the
+15 V standby supply. Resistor R11 is required to allow
external bias feed.
Due to the complexity of this design it is not possible to include
all details in this Design Idea. For detailed design information
on the PC Main please refer to Design Accelerator Kit
(DAK-12) and Engineering Prototype Report EPR-12.
For all other information please refer to Power Integrations'
Web site.
Key Design Points
• Transformer reset: Use recommended Zener/capacitor
clamp/reset circuit to maintain drain voltage <600 V and
DCMAX reduction to prevent transformer saturation.
