VIPower™: low consumption standby power
with the VIPerx2A family
Introduction
The new regulation on the power supply standby consumption for the battery charger is
more and more stringent. Thanks to the VIPerx2A family low power consumption, a battery
charger can be built in standby mode with no-load of 100 mW. This charger solution with the
VIPer12A-E is presented in
Table 1.

Description
The VIPer12A-E is a high voltage integrated circuit intended to be used as a primary
side switch on the offline power supply, in a monolithic structure housed in DIP8 or SO-
8 package. It includes a PWM driver, a power MOSFET with 730 V breakdown voltage,
a start-up circuit and several protection circuits. It minimizes the count of external parts ,
reduces the product size and power consumption. This application note describes the
results obtained when the VIPer12A-E is used in mobile charger applications.

General circuit description
This board is a flyback regulator, delivering 0.8 A to 5 V. The AC input is rectified and filtered
by the diodes D1, D2, D3, D4, the bulk capacitor C1, and C2 to generate the high voltage
DC bus applied to the primary winding of the transformer, TR1. C1, L1, and C2 provide EMI
filtering for the circuit. D9 and D10 form the snubber circuit, which reduces the leakage
spike and voltage ringing on the drain pin of the VIPer12A-E.
The output voltage is regulated by a TL431 (U3) via an optocoupler (U2) to the feedback
pin. The output voltage ripple is controlled by the capacitor, C7, with an additional LC PI filter
configuration made up of L2 and C8. The output voltages can be modified by changing the
transformer turn ratio and modifying the R6 and R7 resistance values in the feedback loop.
