4 Circuit Description
The schematic in Figure 2 shows an adapter design using the LNK625PG that provides
very tight constant voltage (CV) performance. The circuit is designed to operate from
90 VAC to 265 VAC input, with an output voltage of 5 V providing a maximum load
current of 1.2 A. It consumes very little standby power and uses no Y-Capacitor to meet
stringent EMI requirements. The adapter also meets and exceeds both CEC and Energy
Star 2.0 regulations.
4.1 Input and EMI Filtering
Diodes D1 through D4 form a full wave rectifier. The rectified DC is then filtered by
capacitors C1 and C2. Inductor L1 forms a pi (π) filter with capacitors C1 and C2 which
helps to reduce differential EMI noise. This filtering, together with the integrated switching
frequency jitter provided in U1 and transformer E-Shield techniques, provide a generous
EMI margin without the need for a Y capacitor across the primary and secondary
windings of transformer T1.
4.2 LinkSwitch-CV Device
The LinkSwitch-CV family of devices has been developed to cost effectively replace all
existing solutions in low power adapter applications. It is optimized for constant voltage
(CV) adapter applications while using minimal external parts including the complete
elimination of the optocoupler and shunt regulator.
The LNK625PG monolithically integrates the 700 V power MOSFET switch and
controller, which consists of an oscillator, feedback (sense and logic) circuit, 6 V
regulator, BYPASS pin programming functions, over-temperature protection, frequency
jittering, current limit circuit and leading-edge blanking.
The LNK625PG also provides a sophisticated range of protection features including auto-
restart for control loop component open/short circuit faults and output short circuit
conditions. The use of a low auto-restart on time reduces the power delivered by more
than 95 % for output short circuits and control loop faults. Accurate hysteretic thermal
shutdown ensures safe average PCB temperatures under all conditions. Extended
creepage distance between high and low voltage pins prevent arcing and helps meet
safety requirements. LinkSwitch-CV also can be used without a bias winding as the IC is
completely self biased.
4.3 Primary Circuit
During U1’s on time current flows through the primary winding of transformer T1 and
stores energy in its magnetic field. During U1’s off time, the energy stored in the
transformer is transferred to the secondary side, delivering current to both the output
capacitors and the load.

The clamp circuit formed by resistors R1 and R2 along with blocking diode D5 and
capacitor C3 ensures that the drain node voltage is well below the 700 V rating of the
internal MOSFET of U1. The clamp circuit is also carefully designed to reduce and
dampen any oscillation present in the voltage spike caused by the transformer’s leakage
inductance.
4.4 Output Rectification
The secondary output is rectified by diode D7 which is placed in the return leg to help
reduce EMI and simplify the transformer construction. An RC snubber circuit composed
of resistor R7 and capacitor C6 is placed across the output diode to also reduce high
frequency EMI. A stable output voltage is maintained by capacitor C7.
Inductor L2 and capacitor C8 form an LC post filter which helps to attenuate switching
noise and reduces output ripple. Resistor R8 is a preload resistor whose value has been
empirically chosen to provide the best possible regulation at light loads without
significantly affecting no-load input power or efficiency.
4.5 Feedback Winding
LinkSwitch-CV eliminates the need for an optocoupler for tight output voltage regulation,
as good as ±5 %, through the use of a feedback winding. The feedback (FB) pin voltage,
which is derived from the voltage divider formed by resistors R3 and R4, is sampled
approximately 2.5 µs after U1’s internal MOSFET turns off. Based upon this information
the device regulates the output voltage.
The feedback winding was also designed with more turns than necessary so that it may
act as a bias winding. The winding provides bias current to U1 through the bypass pin
(BP) and reduces the input power consumption during light loads and no-load conditions.
Resistor R6 helps to dampen out any ringing present on the feedback winding and
ensures that the waveform at the FB pin at 2.5 us is free from any ringing. Capacitor C5
provides a stable bias voltage while resistor R5 is chosen to supply the necessary BP pin
current. Capacitor C4 is the BP pin capacitor and should be placed as close as possible
to the BP pin and source pins of the device.

5 PCB Layout
Notable layout design points are:
1 A spark gap and associated slot in the PCB between the primary and secondary is
placed to protect the power supply from electro-static discharge (ESD).
• The preferential arcing point routes the energy from ESD discharges back
to the AC input, away from the transformer and primary circuitry.
• The trace connected to the AC input side of the spark gap is spaced away
from the rest of the board and its components to prevent arc discharges to
other sections of the circuit.
2 The drain trace length (pin 4 of U1) has been minimized to reduce EMI.
3 Clamp and output diode loop areas are minimized to reduce EMI.
4 A large copper area around the (electrically quiet) Source pins is used to provide
heatsinking. Provide sufficient copper area to keep the source pin temperature
below 90 ºC.
5 The AC input is located away from switching nodes to minimize noise coupling that
may bypass input filtering.
6 Place C4 (the bypass capacitor) as close as possible to the BYPASS pin on U1.

9.2 Energy Efficiency Requirements
The external power supply requirements below all require meeting active mode efficiency
and no-load input power limits. Minimum active mode efficiency is defined as the
average efficiency of 25, 50, 75 and 100% of output current (based on the nameplate
output current rating).
For adapters that are single input voltage only then the measurement is made at the
rated single nominal input voltage (115 VAC or 230 VAC), for universal input adapters the
measurement is made at both nominal input voltages (115 VAC and 230 VAC).
To meet the standard the measured average efficiency (or efficiencies for universal input
supplies) must be greater than or equal to the efficiency specified by the standard.
The test method can be found here:

10 Thermal Performance
The temperature of key components was measured to evaluate the thermal performance
of the power supply. The power supply’s thermal performance was measured at both low
line (90 VAC) and high line (265 VAC) with line frequency of 50 Hz. The power supply
was loaded to full load (1200 mA).
The power supply was placed inside a cardboard box, to minimize convective cooling,
which was then placed in a thermal chamber. The ambient temperature within the box
was monitored by a T-type thermocouple placed above the power supply. The
temperature of the Power Integrations device, U1, was monitored by soldering a T-type
thermocouple to one of the middle source pins, close to the case. The temperature of the
transformer windings (T1) was monitored by gluing a T-type thermocouple, using
thermally conductive epoxy, to the outermost layer of tape on the bottom of the
transformer (closest to the PCB). Lastly the output diode’s (D7) temperature was
monitored by soldering a T-type thermocouple to the anode, near the case.

11.4 Load Transient Response (75% to 100% Load Step)
In the figures shown below, signal averaging was used to better enable viewing the load
transient response. The oscilloscope was triggered using the load current step as a
trigger source. Since the output switching and line frequency occur essentially at random
with respect to the load transient, contributions to the output ripple from these sources
will average out, leaving the contribution only from the load step response.

11.5 Output Ripple Measurements
11.5.1 Ripple Measurement Technique
For DC output ripple measurements, use a modified oscilloscope test probe to reduce
spurious signals. Details of the probe modification are provided in figures below.
Tie two capacitors in parallel across the probe tip of the 4987BA probe adapter. Use a
0.1 µF/50 V ceramic capacitor and a 1.0 µF/50 V aluminum-electrolytic capacitor. The
aluminum-electrolytic capacitor is polarized, so always maintain proper polarity across
DC outputs.
