The VIPer53 combines an enhanced current mode PWM controller with a high voltage
MDMesh Power Mosfet in the same package. VIPer53 is available in two different
packages, DIP-8 and PowerSO-10. This reference board is an offline wide range power
supply that incorporates VIPer53 and is set up for secondary regulation by driving the PWM
controller through an optocoupler. The switching frequency is set at 100 kHz and the total
output power is 24W.
Figure 2. and Figure 3. shows the two efficiency curves of the reference board. The
measurements on Figure 2.are taken at the input voltage of 120Vac while the output load is
varied from 0A to the full load of 2A. Meanwhile, Figure 3. shows the efficiency when the
input voltage is varied from 90 to 264Vac while the output load is fixed at 2A.

Vout is measured while the output load is varied from 0A to 2A at the nominal input voltage
of 120Vac. Figure 4.shows the load regulation measured, which is 0.2%.
The line regulation is measured to be 0%. Here, the output load is kept at the full load of 2A
while the input voltage is varied from 90 to 264V and the output voltage for the reference
board remains regulated.
The reference board consumes less than 1W total when working in stand-by burst mode at
the input voltage of 120Vac. The measured input power consumption is 569mW with zero
loads at the output.
The transformer is designed and manufactured by Cramer Coil and Transformer Co., Inc.
The electrical characteristics of the transformer are as follows:
The electrical specifications of the transformer are as follow
●Primary Inductance 1.10mH±10%
●Primary Leakage Inductance 6.4µH typical
●HIPOT (N1, N3, N4 tro N2) 4000VAC, 1sec
●DCR (N1/N4) 0.905Ω typical
●DCR (N2) 0.020 Ω typical
●DCR (N3) 0.112 Ω typical
●Turns Ratio (N1/N4:N2) 1:0.121±3%
●Turns Ratio (N1/N4:N3) 1:0.121±3%
When VIPer53 is on, energy is stored in the primary winding of the transformer (pins 3-5).
This energy is transferred to the auxiliary winding (pins 1-2), and to the output (6, 7-10, 11)
when the VIPer53 is off. The auxiliary winding provides the bias voltage for the VIPer53 at
pin 7 (Vdd).
