1. INTRODUCTION
The new regulations on t he power supply stand-by consumption f or the battery charger are becoming
more stringent. Thanks to VIPerX2A family low power consumption, it is possible to build a battery
charger with a power consumption in stand-by mode with no-load of 100mW.
In table 1 this charger solution with VIPer12A is presented.

2. VIPer12A DESCRIPTION
VIPer12A is a high voltage integrated circuits intended to be used on off line power supply as a primary
side switch. in a monolithic structure housed in DIP-8 or SO-8 package it includes a PWM driver, a
Power MOSFET with 730V breakdown voltage, a start-up c ircuit and several protection c ircuit. It takes
advantage from minimizing the external part count, reducin g the products size and power consum ption.
The application note describes the results obtained when VIPer12A is used in mobile charger
application.

3. PCB LAY-OUT
The layout of the switching power supply is very important in order to minimize noise and interference.
The high switching current loop areas should be kept as small as possible to reduce the radiated
electromagnetic emissions. Figure 1 shows the board layout.
In order to meet safety agencies' requirements, there needs to be an adequate clearance of about 6mm
between the high and low voltage sides of the circuit.
The power grounds need to be separated from the small signal grounds. The current in the power ground
changes very quickly in time; resulting in large transient that induces voltage shifts, which in turn can
disturb critical, sensitive small signal currents. Any disturbance or shift of ground in the small signal
ground will upset c ritical reference pat hs. Therefore, poor g rounding rout ing can ma nifest itself as poor
load regulation, or excessive switching noises on the output.

4. GENERAL CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
This board is a fly-back regulator delivering 0.8A at 5V. The AC input is rectified and filtered by the diode
D1, D2, D3, D4, the bulk capacitor C1, and C2 to generate the high voltage DC bus applied to the
primary winding of the transformer, TR1. C1, L1, and C2 provide EMI filtering for the circuit.D9, D10 form
the snubber circuit needed to reduce the leakage spike and voltage ringing on the drain pin of VIPer12A.
The output voltage is reg ulated with a TL431 (U3) via an optocoupler (U2) to the feedback pin. The
output voltage ripple is controlled with the capacitor, C7, with an additional LC PI filter configuration made
up of L2 and C8. It is possible to modify the output voltages by changing the transformer turns ratio and
modifying the resistance values of R6 and R7 in the feedback loop.
