General Description
The Supertex SR036 and SR037 are inductorless, dual output
off-line controllers. They do not require any transformers,
inductors, or high voltage input capacitors. The input voltage,

rectified 120V or 240V AC line. It is designed to control an
external N-channel MOSFET. When HVIN is between V
40V, where V
is the threshold voltage of the external
GS(th)
MOSFET, the external N-channel MOSFET is turned on allowing
it to charge an external capacitor connected to V

above 45V, the N-channel MOSFET is turned off. The maximum
gate voltage for the external MOSFET is 24V. The unregulated
voltage is approximately 18V. The SR036 also provides a
regulated 3.3V whereas the SR037 provides a regulated 5.0V.
WARNING!!!
Galvanic isolation is not provided. Dangerous
voltages are present when connected to the AC line. It is
the responsibility of the designer to assure adequate
safeguards are in place to protect the end user from
electrical shock.

Operating Principle
The SR03x operates by controlling the conduction angle of the
external MOSFET as shown in Figure 1. When the rectified AC
voltage is below the VTH threshold, the pass transistor is turned
on. The pass transistor is turned off when the rectified AC is
above HV
when the switch is off and when the rectified AC is below the
output voltage. The amount of decay is determined by the load
and the value of C1. Since the switch only conducts with low
voltages across it, power dissipation is minimized.

Figure 3: Generating Two Regulated Voltages
For applications requiring two regulated voltages, an inexpensive discrete linear regulator can be added to regulate the
unregulated output as show in Figure 3. The discrete linear
regulator consists of a Zener diode, a resistor and a bipolar
transistor. The regulated voltage, Vout1, is determined by the

Figure 4: Driving 12V Relay Coils
The circuit shown in Figure 4 uses the SR036 to supply a
regulated 3.3V for the logic control circuitry while the unregulated voltage is used to drive a 12V relay coil. The operating
voltage for a 12V relay coil is typically very wide and can
therefore operate directly from the unregulated line.

The circuit shown in Figure 6 uses the SR037 to supply a
regulated 5.0V for the logic control circuitry. A 5.1V Zener diode
is used in parallel with the 5.0V relay coil to ensure that the relay
coil’s maximum operating voltage is not exceeded. The Zener
diode also acts as the catch diode when the coil is switched to the
off state. An external series resistor is used to limit the amount
of Zener current.
