General Description
The Supertex SR036 and SR037 are inductorless, dual output
off-line controllers, providing up to
1.0W
of output power. They
do not require any transformers, inductors, or high voltage
input capacitors. The input voltage, HV
IN
, is designed to
operate from an unfiltered full wave rectified 120V or 230V AC
line. It is designed to control an external N-channel MOSFET
or IGBT. When HV
IN
is less than 45V, the external transistor is
turned-on allowing it to charge an external capacitor connected
to V
SOURCE
. An unregulated DC voltage will develop on V
SOURCE
.
Once HV
IN
is above 45V, the transistor is turned off. The
maximum gate voltage for the external transistor is 24V. The
unregulated voltage is approximately 18V. The SR036 also
provides a regulated 3.3V whereas the SR037 provides a
regulated 5.0V.
WARNING!!! Galvanic isolation is not provided. Dangerous
voltages are present when connected to the AC line. It is
the responsibility of the designer to assure adequate
safeguards are in place to protect the end user from
electrical shock.

Applications Information
Functional Block Diagram
Operating Principle
The SR03x operates by controlling the conduction angle of the
external MOSFET or IGBT as shown in Figure 1. When the
rectified AC voltage is below the V
TH
threshold, the pass transistor
is turned on. The pass transistor is turned off when the rectified
AC is above HV
IN(off)
. Output voltage (Vunreg) decays during the
periods when the switch is off and when the rectified AC is below
the output voltage. The amount of decay is determined by the
load and the value of C1. Since the switch only conducts with low
voltages across it, power dissipation is minimized.

Power Dissipation
Power dissipation in the SR03 is from 2 sources. The first is due to the bias current (or overhead) required to operate the device. This may
be calculated from P
BIAS
= V
IN2
/ 185k½ where V
IN
is the input voltage in V
RMS
. The second source of power dissipation is the 3.3/5V linear
regulator and may be calculated from P
REG
= (16V - V
OUT
) * I
REG
, where V
OUT
is 3.3V or 5V, and I
REG
is the load current on the 3.3/5V output.
The total power dissipated by the SR03x is the sum of these two: P
BIAS
+ P
REG
. (These equations are conservative – actual dissipation may
be less.)
To adequately dissipate the power, the underside plate of the SR03xSG should be soldered to at least 2cm
2
of exposed copper area on
the PCB.
Power is also dissipated by the pass transistor. Power dissipated by the transistor will be (16V * I
TOTAL
) * (1/Eff -1) where I
TOTAL
is the sum
of the load currents on the regulated and unregulated outputs and Eff is the converter efficiency (see Efficiency Graph next page). The
transistor should be soldered to at least 5cm
2
of exposed copper area on the PCB for heatsinking.
