AN1484 - APPLICATION NOTE

7/11

- The voltage variation of the primary and the

auxiliary side of the converter must be opposite. In

this design, the D3 diode has been placed on the

ground so the voltage swing is opposite on the

transition.

3.0 SYSTEM PERFORMANCES

3.1 Efficiency

The Power losses are distributed at 6V / 600mA

output power as follows:

- 400mW in the output diode

- 700mW in the VIPer12A

- 300mW in the transformer

- 380mW in the shunt resistor

Overall efficiency is 3.6W/ (3.6W+1.78W)=67%.

If the losses in the shunt resistor are considered as

available power, the converter efficiency becomes

3.98W/(3.98W+1.4W)=74%. This is possible using

secondary controller like STM’s TSM101.

3.3 Standby Consumption

The demoboard consumes less than 100mW at

100VDC and 120mW at 380VDC. This power level

is far below today regulation’s requirement.

The charts in Figure 9a/9b shows the details of the

charger standby consumption at minimum and

maximum input voltage.

The major contribution to the standby consumption

is the VIPer12A own consumption of just 35mW

and is independent from input voltage.
