Induction

General Description
AP3917B is an off-line universal AC Voltage input step-down regulator that provides an accurate constant voltage (CV), outstanding low standby power, light loading efficiency and dynamics performance. The chip supports non- isolated buck and buck-boost topology, and also isolated and non-isolated flyback topology. The main applications are for cost-effective home appliance power. Working with a single winding inductor and integrating a 650V MOSFET when used in buck topology, the BOM cost is very low. The AP3917B EV3 Evaluation Board contains two outputs specifications: 12V20mA and 3.8V20mA, with both non-isolations flyback. The two outputs share a three-winding transformer. The feedback circuitry samples 3.8V output. The user’s guide provides good design example for dual output power applications in home appliance power.

Circuit Description

Input EMI Filtering
The input stage is composed of fusible resistor RF1, bridge diodes (BD1), Capacitors C1 and inductor L1. Resistor RF1 is a flame proof, fusible, wire- wound resistor. It limits inrush current to safe levels for bridge diodes, provides differential mode noise reduction and acts as an input fuse in the event of short circuit. Inductor L1 and Capacitor C1 constitute a LC filter, which can smooth the input voltage and improve EMI conduction.

Control IC
AP3917B co-packages a 650V power MOSFET and control circuitry into a cost- effective SO-8 package. The device gets its start-up current from DRAIN pin with a small capacitor C3 connect to BP pin when AC source is applied.

Flyback block
The flyback system which coupled in a transformer contains two output, 12V and 3.8V. The 3.8V output winding and 12V output winding are in series, so if the turn ratio of 12V winding to 3.8V winding approximate to 12/3.8, the output voltage can be fixed to 12V and 3.8V.

Output Rectification
During the ON time of U1, current ramps in the main inductance of transformer T1 until the current reaches to the Ipk. During the OFF time the inductor current ramps down via diodes D2 and D3. D2 andD3 must be ultra-fast diode or schottky diode (Trr<50ns or lower). Capacitor C3/C5 should be selected to have an adequate ripple margin.

Output Feedback
The voltage across C4/C5 is quite smooth, so the divider R1 and R2 can reflect the output voltage. The output voltage dividend by R1 and R2 was sent to feedback pin to regulate the 3.8V output voltage, thus regulate the 12V output voltage. A small capacitor C7 about several hundreds of pF was used to prevent sharp noise of sampling circuit.

Quick Start Guide

1. The evaluation board is preset at 12V/20mA+3.8V20mA from output.
2. Ensure that the AC source is switched OFF or disconnected before doing connection.
3. Connect the AC line wires of power supply to “L and N” on the left side of the board.
4. Turn on the AC main switch.
5. Measure output terminals to ensure correct output voltages of Vo1 and Vo2 respectively.

Key Performance test

Start up performance
The start-up time was measured with differential probe clipping on the input AC source, and the common low-voltage probe clipping on the output terminal. Before start-up, the buck cap should be discharged.
