In the past few years, many consumer products have been provid ed to the end user, such as DVD or
VCD players. Generally their power supply require multiple outputs to supply a variety of control circuits:
MCU, Motor, Amplifier, VFD.
ST VIPer series of off-line switch mode power supply regulators c ombines an optimized, high voltage,
avalanche rugged Vertical Power MOSFET with current mode c ontrol PWM circuitry. The result is truly
innovative AC to DC conversion that is simpler, quicker and - with component count halved - less
expensive.
The VIPer family al so represents th e ea sies t s olution to com ply with the "Blue Angel" and "Energy Star"
Eco norms, with extremely low total power consumption at stand-by mode, thanks to the burst operation.
This document would present the ap plication on DVD player pow er supply with VI Per22A satisfying the
specification See table 1 below.
As any member of the VIPer family, VIPer22A has an integrated high voltage current source linked to
Drain pin . At the startup converter, it will charge the V
(14.5V), and then the VIPer22A starts switching.
1.1.2 Auxiliary Supply
VIPer22A has a wide operating voltage range from 8V to 42V, respectively minimum and maximum
values for under-voltage and over-voltage protections.
This function is very useful for achievin g low stand-by total power consum ption. During norma l working,
the feedback loop is connected to 5V output by D12 to regulate 5V output. At the mean time, +5Vstb
output is blocked by Q3, so +5Vstb regulation is neglected. When the stand-by signal is present, the Vce
of Q3 can not provide enough voltage to maintain D12 conducted, so the 5V output is blocked, and the
+5Vstb output is connected to the feedback loop. In this condition the +5 Vstb is regulated. Thanks to the
transformer structure, all the other secondary outputs and the auxiliary voltages are pulled down to a very
low level, also pulling down the total power consumption.
All these contents can be summarized by the following list:
• in normal full load, the V
• in short circuit, the V
to the well known hiccup mode in practice;
• in no load condition, the V
voltage of the device must be lower than the over-voltage protection;
DD
voltage must be lower than the shutdown vol tage. Actually, this condition leads

1.1.3 Burst Mode
The Viper22A integrates a current mode PWM with a Power MOSFET and includes the leading edge
blanking function. The burst mode is a feature which allows VIPer22A to skip some switching cycles
when the energy drained by the output load goes be low E =(T
input voltage, f
It has the consequence to redu ce the switching losses when working in low load cond ition by reducing
the switching frequency.
1.1.4 Feedback Loop
The 5V output voltage is regulated with a TL-431 (U3) via an optocoupler (U2) to the feedback pin. If the
output voltage is high, the TL-431 will draw more current through its cat hode to t he anode and the current
increases in the optocoupler diode. The current in optocoupler NPN increases accordingly and the
current into the VIPer22A FB pin increases. When the FB current increases, the VIPer22A will skip some
cycles to decrease turn on time and lower the output voltage to the proper level (see figure 1).
The 5V output voltage is regulated thanks to the reference voltage of TL-431 and the resistive divider R8
and R9.
In a fly-back power supply, the transformer is used as an energy tank fuelled during the ON time of the
MOSFET. When the MOSFET turns off, its drain voltage rises from a low value to the input voltage plus
the reflected voltage while the secondary diode conducts, transferring on the secondary side the
magnetic energy stored in the transformer. Because primary and secondary windin gs are not perfectly
magnetically coupled, there is a serial leakage inductance that behaves like an open inductor charged at
that causes the voltage spikes on the MOSFET drain. These voltage spikes must be clamped to keep
I
pk
the VIPer22A Drain voltage below the BVds s (730Vmin) rating. If the peak voltage is higher than this
value, the device will be destroyed. The most used solution is the RCD clamp (see figure 3). This is a
very simple and chea p solution, but it impacts on the efficiency and even on the power dissipation in
stand-by condition. Also the clamping voltage varies with load current. RCD clamp circuits may allow the
drain voltage to exceed the data sheet breakdown rating of VIPer22A during overload operation or during
turn on with high line AC input voltage. So, a zener clamp is recommended (see figure 4). However such
a solution gives higher power dissipation at full load, even if the clamp voltage is exactly defined.
1.2 Transformer Consideration
On the electrical specification of a multiple output transformer (cross regulation, leakage inductance), the
main efforts focused on the proper coupling between the windings. A lower leakage inductance
transformer will allow a lower power clamp to reduce the input power. It will lead to lower power
dissipation on the primary side.
Auxiliary and secondary windings are swapped in order to decrease the coupling to the primary one. The
secondary windings act as a shielding layer to reduce the capacitive coupling. Fewer spikes are
generated on the auxiliary windings, the primary and secondary windings have better coupling.
Designing transformers for low leakage inductance involves several considerations:
•Minimize number of turns
•Keep winding build (ratio of winding height to width) small
For a transformer m eeting international insul ation a nd s afet y requi reme nts, a practical value for leak age
inductance is about 1-3% of the open circuit primary inductance.
A high efficiency transformer should have low inter-winding capacitance to decrease the switching
losses. Energy stored in the parasitic capacitance of the transformer is absorbed by VIPer cycle by cycle
during the turn-on transition. Excess capacitance will also ring with stray inductance during switch
transitions, causing noise prob lems. Capacitance effects are usually the m ost important in the primary
winding, where the operating voltage (and consequent energy storage) is high. The primary winding
should be the first winding on the transformer. This allows the primary winding to have a low mean length
per turn, reducing the internal capacitance. The d riven end of the primary winding (the e nd c onne cted to
the Drain pin) should be the beginning of the winding rather than the end.
This takes advantage of the shielding effect of the second half of the primary winding and reduces
capacitive coupling to adjacent windings. A layer of insulation between adjacent primary windings can cut
the internal capacitance of the primary winding by as much as a factor of four, with consequent reduction
of losses. A common technique for winding multiple secondaries with the same polarity sharing a
common return, is to stack the secondaries (see figure 5). This arrangement will improve the load
regulation, and reduce the total number of secondary turns.
Commonly a clamper based on an RCD network or a diode with a zene r to clamp the rise of the dr ain
voltage is used.
Since EMI issues are strongly related to layout, a basic rule has to be taken into account in high current
path routing, i.e. the current loop area has to be minimized. If a heat-sink is used it has to be connected
to ground too, in order to reduce common mode emissions, since it is close to the floating drain tab.
One more consideration has to be made regarding the control ground connection: in fact in order to avoid
any noise interference on VIPer logic pin the control ground has to be separated from power ground.
