TSM1014
Federico Levati
Introduction
This application note describes the characteristics and features of a 65 W demonstration
board (EVL6566B-65W-QR), tailored to the specifications of a typical hi-end portable
computer power supply. The peculiarities of this design are the very high average efficiency
of about 90%, without synchronous rectification, and very low no load consumption of
100 mW at 230 Vac. The result is that this converter is more than compliant with Energy
Star

eligibility criteria (EPA rev. 2.0 EPS).

1.1
Power stage
The flyback converter implements the new ST dedicated current mode L6566B (U2)
controller operating in quasi-resonant mode and detecting the transformer demagnetization
through the ZCD (#11) pin.
R23 on the OSC (#13) pin sets the maximum switching frequency at about 165 kHz.
Because the maximum switching frequency is imposed, the converter operates in
discontinuous conduction mode during light-load operation. The L6566B valley skipping
function is capable of turning-on the MOSFET in valley switching even in DCM, therefore
reducing switching losses.
The MOSFET is a standard 800 V, STF7NM80, housed in a TO-220FP package, needing
just a small heatsink. The transformer is a layer type, using a standard ferrite size EER28L,
designed according to EN60950 and manufactured by MAGNETICA.
The flyback reflected voltage is ~150 V, providing enough room for the leakage inductance
voltage spike with a still margin for reliability of the MOSFET. The D5 rectifier and the D4
Transil™ clamp the peak of the leakage inductance voltage spike at MOSFET turn-off.
A small capacitance in parallel with D4 smooth leakage inductance spikes, reducing EMI
and Transil dissipation.
The output rectifiers are two STPS20H100CFP dual center tap Schottky diodes (D2 and D3)
in parallel, housed in the TO-220FP. They have been selected according to the maximum
reverse voltage, forward voltage drop, and power dissipation. The snubber, made up of R5,
R7 and C12, dampens the oscillation produced by the diode capacitance and the leakage
inductance.
A small LC filter has been added on the output, filtering the high frequency ripple and
spikes.
D6, R4, R5, R8, R9, Q2 and Q3 implement an output voltage “fast discharge” circuit, quickly
discharging the output capacitors when the converter is turned off. It has been implemented
to quickly decrease the residual output voltage after the converter is turned off at no load.
