This Application Note deals with an off-line wide range single output power supply using a
VIPer22A off-line SMPS primary switcher manufactured by STMicroelectronics. The
VIPer22A combines a dedicated current mode PWM controller with a high voltage Power
MOSFET on the same silicon chip and its switching frequency is internally fixed at 60 kHz.
The feedback path of the power supply includes an optocoupler for secondary regulation
and galvanic isolation between primary and secondary sides. The output voltage is
regulated at 12V with a maximum output current of 0.84A, resulting in a maximum output
power of 10W.
Tab le 1 lists the main parameters of the converter while a prototype of the board is shown in
Figure 1.

2.1 Frequency ripple
Figure 4 presents the line frequency ripple taken with an input voltage of 90 VAC. A 10mVPP
amplitude is measured at the output. Figure 5 shows the switching ripple on the output at
the full load of 0.84A.

OUT
The typical efficiency of the board is about 75%. The efficiency measurements are taken at
a nominal input voltage of 120 V
. Figure 6 shows the efficiency measurements that are
AC
taken when the output power is varied from 1W to 10W. Figure 7 meanwhile shows the
efficiency measurement taken when the input voltage is varied from 90 to 264 V
at the
AC
maximum output power rating of 10W. The average measured efficiency is 75%.

2.3 Load response
At an input voltage of 120 VAC, the output load is stepped from 50% to 100% load (0.42A to
0.84A). The settling time is found to be 400µs and the dynamic regulation is 120mV or 1%.
The resulting waveforms are shown in Figure 8.

2.4 Line and load regulation
The output voltages are measured over the entire input voltage range, that is between 90
and 264 V
graph, the output voltage remained at a constant +12V output. The line regulation therefore
is 0%.

. This gives the line regulation as shown inFigure 9. As can be seen from the

The output voltage has also been measured in a range of loads, as shown in Figure 10 at a
nominal input voltage of 120 V
from 10% to 100% of full load on the output.

The output voltage and current can be set to a different value by changing components as
shown in Tab l e 2.
The VIPer22A is a single-sided reference board that uses a wide two-ounce copper pad
area to act as a heat sink for the VIPer22ADIP. All other traces use one-ounce copper.
At 65° C, the measured case temperature is 90° C, therefore making the junction
temperature 123.7° C.
6 Blue angel standard
The Blue Angel standard is a German certification for products and services that have
environmentally friendly aspects. It requires that the power supply consumes less than 1W
of power when in Standby mode.
The total power consumption of this reference board is less than 1W when working in
Standby Burst mode. Ta b le 3 lists the input power consumption (P
input voltages when measured with zero loads at the output.

In order to keep the total input power to be less than 1W total, a minimum load of 40 mA is
needed when using a 120 V
input supply.

Therefore, the reference board complies with the Blue Angel standard.

When the VIPer22A (U1) is on, energy is stored in the primary winding of transformer (1-2),
TX1. This energy is transferred to the auxiliary winding (3-4), and to the output (5-6) when
the VIPer22A is off. The auxiliary winding provides the bias voltage for the VIPer22A at pin 4
(V
).
