RDR-128 36 W, 72 W Peak Variable Output Power Supply 16-Aug-07
1 Introduction
This document is an engineering report describing a motor drive power supply capable of
delivering up to 36 W of continuous power and up to 72 W of peak power, utilizing a
PKS606YN device. This power supply is intended as a demonstration platform for the
PeakSwitch family of devices and their application in motor drives. The PeakSwitch
family of devices is ideally suited to this role due to their ability to provide very high peak
power for short periods of time, as is often encountered in motor drive applications.
This document contains the power supply specification, schematic, bill of materials,
transformer documentation, printed circuit board layout and performance data.

4 Circuit Description
The motor drive power supply shown in Figure 1 is a switch mode power supply design
utilizing the flyback topology.
4.1 Input EMI Filtering
Differential mode EMI filtering is provided by X-capacitor C3. Y-capacitors C1, C2, C10
and C12, together with the common-mode choke L1, provide common-mode EMI
filtering. Additionally the transformer E-Shields™, together with the frequency jittering
features, provide adequate EMI margins.
4.2 PeakSwitch Primary
Fuse F1 protects the power supply from a catastrophic failure due to a short circuit fault.
A high voltage DC bus is created from the AC line voltage by the full-wave rectifier
formed by diodes D1-D4. Capacitor C4 smoothes and filters the rectified AC voltage.
The PKS606YN (U1) integrates a high voltage MOSFET, along with startup and all
necessary control circuitry.
During the MOSFET’s on-time, current flows through the primary of transformer T1,
storing energy in the transformer core.
During the turn off event, the voltage across the primary winding reverses. A voltage
equal to the sum of DC bus voltage and the reflected output voltage (VOR) appears
across the DRAIN and SOURCE of the PeakSwitch, with an additional spike generated
by the leakage inductance. A primary clamp circuit formed by D6, VR1, R3 and C5 limits
this voltage and resets the leakage energy prior to the next switching cycle.
Diode D7 rectifies the supply’s bias winding while capacitor C9 provides DC filtering.
This bias supply is connected to the PeakSwitch’s BP pin via R7, which powers the
device during normal operation.
4.3 Under-voltage Protection and Fast AC Reset circuit
Under-voltage shutdown is implemented by a separate line rectifying diode, D5, which
charges capacitor C7. Resistors R5 and R6 program the UV start-up voltage to
approximately 104 VDC, which is the DC voltage across C7, at which a current equal to
25 µA flows into the EN/UV pin.
This separate AC line sense network (formed by D5, C7) allows the PeakSwitch to
identify the cause of a fault condition. If the input voltage is above the under-voltage
threshold and the EN/UV pin has not been pulled low for 30 ms, a fault condition is
assumed, and the PeakSwitch latches off. Once the supply is latched off, the AC line
voltage must be removed to allow capacitor C7 to discharge and allow the current into
the EN/UV pin to fall below 25 µA.

If the EN/UV pin has not been pulled low for 30 ms and the input voltage is below the
under-voltage threshold, then the loss of regulation is assumed to be due to a low line
condition, and the PeakSwitch will stop switching until the under-voltage threshold is
exceeded again.
4.4 Output Rectification and Filtering
Diode D9 rectifies the output voltage while capacitors C13 and C14 provide output
filtering. The output capacitor current ripple rating is chosen t6 79S327.74 Bicsin
