1. Introduction
This engineering report describes a 2.04W power supply using a FSQ500L. This power
supply is targeted for a flyback converter replaces linear power supplies with low cost
and small size.
1.1. General Description
This device combines a current-mode Pulse Width Modulator (PWM) with a SenseFET
and high-voltage regulator connected from the DRAIN pin to supply the V
does not need to use bias winding and associated external components.
Using a SOT-223 package, FSQ500L reduces total size and weight while increasing
efficiency, productivity, and system reliability. Using FSQ500L, this design example for
2.04W can be implemented with few external components and minimized cost.

4.9. Output Ripple and Noise
4.9.1. Test Condition
Ripple and noise are measured by using a 20MHz-bandwidth limited oscilloscope with a
10µF capacitor paralleled with a high-frequency 0.1µF capacitor across each output.
Increase output loading gradually and measure the maximum output power.

4.12. Hold-up Time
4.12.1. Test Condition
Set output at maximum load. Measure the time interval between AC off and output
voltage falling to the lower limit of the rated value. The AC waveform should be off at
zero phase.
Set the output at maximum loading. Decrease the input voltage with 5VAC step. Verify
the FB voltage is under overload state (between 2.7~4V). Measure the maximum duty
and waveform.

Counterfeiting of semiconductor parts is a growing problem in the industry. All manufacturers of semiconductor products are experiencing
counterfeiting of their parts. Customers who inadvertently purchase counterfeit parts experience many problems such as loss of brand reputation,
substandard performance, failed applications, and increased cost of production and manufacturing delays. Fairchild is taking strong measures to
protect ourselves and our customers from the proliferation of counterfeit parts. Fairchild strongly encourages customers to purchase Fairchild parts
either directly from Fairchild or from Authorized Fairchild Distributors who are listed by country on our web page cited above. Products customers buy
either from Fairchild directly or from Authorized Fairchild Distributors are genuine parts, have full traceability, meet Fairchild's quality standards for
handling and storage and provide access to Fairchild's full range of up-to-date technical and product information. Fairchild and our Authorized
Distributors will stand behind all warranties and will appropriately address any warranty issues that may arise. Fairchild will not provide any warranty
coverage or other assistance for parts bought from Unauthorized Sources. Fairchild is committed to combat this global problem and encourage our
customers to do their part in stopping this practice by buying direct or from authorized distributors.
