This document describes the reference design of the 25W Switch Mode Power Supply
which is dedicated to industrial or white goods applications. The board accepts wide range
input voltages (90 to 265Vrms) and delivers 2 or 3 output voltages depending on the
version. Two types of power supply are availabl e: negativ e output or positive output voltage.
The actual version depends the way the components are assembled on the secondary side
and on the configuration of jumpers. On the primary side, the PCB and transformer are the
same for both versions. More information is available in Chapter 3. The Switch mode power
supply is based on the VIPer53E. The VIPer53E combines in the same package an
enhanced current mode PWM controller with a high voltage MDMesh Power Mosfet. High
efficiency and low standby consumption are the main characteristics of this board. Such
features, coupled with minimal part requirements and global low cost in addition to, makes it
an ideal solution for powering industrial or consumer equipment, meeting worldwide
standards.

3 Circuit description
The converter topology of this SMPS is the fly-back, working in continuous and
discontinuous conduction mode. The core of this design is the primary controller
VIPer53EDIP, integrating the controller and a Power Mosfet in a single, standard DIP-8
package. The device integrates all the functions needed to control and protect a power
supply , giving a modern, compact and cheap solution to SMPS designs. If an SMT mounting
is required, a PowerSO-10 version is also available (VIPer53ESP).
The operating frequency of the circuit (~60kHz) has been chosen in order to obtain a
compromise between the transformer size and the input filter complexity. Frequency
modulation has been implemented on the input of VIPer53E to reduce electromagnetic
interferences on the SMPS. Thus, the EMI input filter can be a simple LC-filter consists of
CMC and two X2 capacitors, for differential and common mode noise. The input of SMPS is
protected against inrush peak current by an NTC. In case any catastrophic failures a
standard 5 x 20mm fuse disconnects the SMPS from mains. The transformer reflected
voltage is ~73V, which provides enough room for the leakage inductance voltage spike and
leaves enough margin of reliability. The D4 diode and the D5 transil, clamp the leakage
inductance voltage spike, assuring reliable operation of the Viper53EDIP.
The transformer is manufactured by TDK, and designed according to the safety standard
EN60950. It has two secondary windings, which provide 5 and 12V or –5 and –12V, and an
additional winding which provides the supply voltage for the VIPer53EDIP.
This power supply can generate positive or negative output voltages depending on the
configuration of the jumpers. Jumpers J1, J2, J5 and J7 have to be assembled for the
positive version of the power supply, whilst jumpers J3, J4, J6 and J8 have to be assembled
for the negative version. It is also mandatory to change polarity of the output electrolytic
capacitors: C9, C10, C11, C13 and C14. Diode D6 is found on the secondary side of the
positive power supply, whilst diode D7 is found on the negative side. The polarization of the
diode D8 has to be also changed. The positive power supply can generate a voltage of 3.3V
from the linear regulator U4.
The output rectifiers have been chosen in accordance with the maximum reverse voltage
and their power dissipation. The 5V and –5V rectifier is a Schottky barrier, type
STPS1045D0. It is assembled in an axial TO220 package. The 12V and –12V rectifier is a
Schottky barrier, type STPS2H100. It is assembled in an SMD package. This rectifier has
low forw ard voltage drop, therefore it improves efficiency as it has a lower power dissipation
in comparison with a standard type. A small LC filter has been added on both outputs in
order to filter the high frequency ripple without increasing the output capacitors size or
quality. Output voltage regulation is performed by secondary feedback, which monitors the
5V output. The feedback network is a classical one, which uses a TL431 and optocoupler. I t
assures the required insulation between the primary and secondary sides. The optotransistor drives the COMP pin of the Viper53EDIP, directly. Capacitor C6 and resistor R4
are parts of the compensation loop filtering the high frequency noise.
The VIPer53EDIP is activated at start-up by an internal current source, charging capacitor
C7 from the DC bus via the Drain pin. As a result of this circuit, the start-up time is short and
independent from the mains voltage input. During normal operation the device is powered
by the transformer via the LEB circuit (Q1, C8, D3 and R5) and the D2 diode. The LEB
circuit filters leakage inductance spikes, i.e. it blanks the spike appearing at the leading
edges of the voltage which are generated by the self-supply winding. These spikes, which
are due to inductance leakage from the transformer, are the major cause of raised V

voltages at high load. This circuit also helps to keep the max VCC voltage under control if the
transformer has a high leakage inductance across the auxiliary.
The switching frequency is selected by resistor R3 and capacitor C4. Capacitor C5 provides
a delay to the current protection intervention, the so called TOVL function.
Figure 3, Figure 4 and Figure 5 show the drain voltage and current at nominal mains voltage
input during normal operation at full load. Clearly the current peak is below the maximum
current peak defined in the VIPer53 datasheet. The drain voltage rise time is around 120ns.
Figure 3 shows the drain peak voltage at full load and maximum mains voltage input. The
measured voltage of 564V, assures reliable operation of the Viper53 MOSFET with a good
margin ofthe maximum break down voltageBV

The following tables show the output voltages for both positive and negative version of
power supplies, in addition to the overall efficiency of the converter measured at different
input voltages. All the output voltages have been measured on the output connector. It
should be noted that the 5V output is regulated. The 12V output is influenced by load of 5V
branch. If the 5V voltage branch is not loaded typically the voltage on the 12V branch fall
rapidly down.
