Low Power Design

Do PI parts have a UL, CSA or other safety agency file number?

One question we see periodically from users is a request for the UL file number for PI parts.

The UL (or other safety agency) file number for a component indicates that it has met the safety requirements for that class of component. Components where this is a requirement are opto-couplers, Y and X class capacitors, fuses and (materials used in the construction of) transformers. All of these components either bridge the isolation barrier or provide a critical safety function.

der263 transformer

Hi

I have a problem to buy der263 transformer components.
Could I use N41(N48) material instead of 3f3 material? Why Do they use 3f3 material for 66kHz switching freq?

DC DC converter 105V to 12V at 500mA

I need to design a converter that can handle an input voltage range of 60Vdc-105Vdc and output 12Vdc @ 500mA (Imax), I was wondering if you had any components or app notes that could assist me with this design. thank you.

Availabilite of parts TOP414G

Are part numbers TOP414G and TOP414GN still availible?

Part availability of TOP414G

Is part number TOP414G still a valid part number?

LNK603 operation at lower temperatures

PS schematic

We have a power supply (+3.3V+/-4%, 0.6A) based on LNK603 - schematic is attached. I works pretty well at temperatures appr. from -10 to 85degC. Now we faced with necessity to extend the operation temperatures to full industrial range (-40...85degC).

Continuous/Discontinuous Mode Hopping

I am currently using the DPA424 Flyback Controller. Unfortunately the device is jumping back and forth from continuous to discontinuous mode. I understand that maximum efficiency is why it is doing this, however my goal in this design is not necessarily the highest efficiency but the quality of the output voltage. The oscillations occur at a 350-400hz rate, and they cause a tremendous amount of ripple at the output and no amount of filtering can eliminate this at these frequencies.

Flyback converter: 50W, 12VDC input, 300VDC output

Hello everybody,

I searched on my own but didn't find any useful part for the converter I want to design; is there any Power Integrations IC suitable for the following flyback converter?

V_dc_in_min: 10.8Vdc
V_dc_in_max: 14.8Vdc
V_dc_out: 300Vdc
P_out: 50W

Thank you. Best regards.

Power Dissipation of TOP258P

Hello.

I´m using the TOP258P in a 30W dual voltage power supply following the RDR-142 and works fine at Tamb=85ºC. But I need to increase the Amb temperature to 105ºC.

How can I calculate the junction temperature if the surface of the TOP258P is at 113ºC inside an Temperature Chamber at maximun load condition?.

Thanks a lot.
