These ICs work together in an active clamp flyback converter topology:

...

  • C12 & C13 are the ‘main capacitors’ for filtering the output

    • C16 reduces high frequency ripple

  • RCD snubber in R8/C11/D4 reduces high frequency ringing + EMI

  • Synchronous Rectifying FET Q1 and D3 are the rectifiers

  • voltage sensed by FW through R7 determines when to turn Q1 on

    • for CCM, fet turns off before the next cycle via signal from ClampZero

    • for DCM, fet turns off once the voltage across is is below VSR(TH)

  • For CV, output voltage is sensed in FB by voltage division across R9 and R10

    • internal reference voltage of 1.265 V

  • Current sensing is through R14, mesaured measured by the IS pin

    • threshold voltage of ~35mV

Transformer Design

  • Bias winding to supply at least 4mA of current to BP1 and BP2 pins

...

Efficiency

...

We will spec our parts to have 100% load at ~60W, so nominal load of 30W is 50% load

...

For DCM, tHLDLis a function of fet capacitance and leakage + magnetizing inductance of transformer

...

If constant current regulation is not required, the ISENSE pin must be tied to SECONDARY GROUND pin
