Circuit operation AN2544
10/17
The above board can be modified to any voltage output from 10 V to 15 V by changing DZ.
To modify the board to 16 or higher, D6 and C4 can be omitted and the jumper wire can be
installed. For 16 V operation or higher, V
dd
and Vf can share the same source without
having the current leak through the Zener and Vf pin path. The output voltage can be
changed by changing DZ from 16 V Zener to a higher value matching the output voltage. If
less current is required, the board can be changed with a VIPer12A-E dip which is pin-for-
pin compatible with the VIPer22ADIP-E.
Also one of the input capacitors, C2, can be reduced to 4.7 µF. Various data and waveforms
from evaluation boards can be seen in the following pages.
The V
dd
cap has to be sized according to the output load and the size of the output
capacitor.
