LinkSwitch-TN2LinkSwitch-TN2 Functional Description 600 LinkSwitch-TN2 combines a high-voltage power MOSFET switch with 500 a power supply control er in one device. Unlike conventional PWM V (pulse width modulator) control ers, LinkSwitch-TN2 uses a simple DRAINPI-3660-081303 400 ON/OFF control to regulate the output voltage. The LinkSwitch-TN2 control er consists of an oscillator, feedback (sense and logic) circuit, 300 5.0 V regulator, BYPASS pin undervoltage circuit, over-temperature protection, line and output overvoltage protection, frequency jittering, current limit circuit, leading edge blanking and a 725 V or 900 V 200 power MOSFET. The LinkSwitch-TN2 incorporates additional circuitry for auto-restart. 100 Oscillator 0 The typical oscillator frequency is internal y set to an average of f 68 kHz OSC (66 kHz). Two signals are generated from the oscillator: the maximum 64 kHz duty cycle signal (DC ) and the clock signal that indicates the (MAX) beginning of each cycle.

LinkSwitch-TN2 selects between normal and 5.0 V Regulator and 5.2 V Shunt Voltage Clamp reduced current limit at power-up prior to switching. The 5.0 V regulator charges the bypass capacitor connected to the BYPASS pin to V by drawing a current from the voltage on the Auto-Restart BP DRAIN, whenever the MOSFET is off.
