Pin Functional Description
DRAIN (D) Pin:Power MOSFET drain connection. Provides internal operatingcurrent for both start-up and steady-state operation.
BYPASS (BP) Pin:Connection point for an external bypass capacitor for theinternally generated 5.8V supply. Bypass pin is not intendedfor sourcing supply current to external circuitry.
ENABLE (EN) Pin:The power MOSFET switching can be terminated by pullingthis pin low. The I-V characteristic of this pin is equivalent toa voltage source of approximately 1.5V with a source currentclamp of 50 µA.
SOURCE (S) Pin:Power MOSFET source connection. Primary return.
TinySwitch Functional Description
TinySwitch is intended for low power off-line applications. Itcombines a high voltage power MOSFET switch with a powersupply controller in one device. Unlike a conventional PWM(Pulse Width Modulator) controller, the TinySwitch uses asimple ON/OFF control to regulate the output voltage.
The TinySwitch controller consists of an Oscillator, Enable(Sense and Logic) circuit, 5.8V Regulator, Under-Voltage
circuit, Hysteretic Over Temperature Protection, Current Limitcircuit, Leading Edge Blanking, and a 700V power MOSFET.Figure 2 shows a functional block diagram with the mostimportant features.
OscillatorThe oscillator frequency is internally set at 44 kHz (130 kHz forthe TNY255). The two signals of interest are the MaximumDuty Cycle signal (DMAX) which runs at typically 67% dutycycle and the Clock signal that indicates the beginning of eachcycle. When cycles are skipped (see below), the oscillatorfrequency doubles (except for TNY255 which remains at130kHz). This increases the sampling rate at the ENABLE pinfor faster loop response.
Enable (Sense and Logic)The ENABLE pin circuit has a source follower input stage setat 1.5V. The input current is clamped by a current source setat 50 µA with 10 µA hysteresis. The output of the enable sense

circuit is sampled at the rising edge of the oscillator Clocksignal (at the beginning of each cycle). If it is high, then thepower MOSFET is turned on (enabled) for that cycle, otherwisethe power MOSFET remains in the off state (cycle skipped).Since the sampling is done only once at the beginning of eachcycle, any subsequent changes at the ENABLE pin during thecycle are ignored.
5.8 V RegulatorThe 5.8 V regulator charges the bypass capacitor connected tothe BYPASS pin to 5.8V by drawing a current from the voltageon the DRAIN, whenever the MOSFET is off. The BYPASSpin is the internal supply voltage node for the TinySwitch.When the MOSFET is on, the TinySwitch runs off of the energystored in the bypass capacitor. Extremely low powerconsumption of the internal circuitry allows the TinySwitch tooperate continuously from the current drawn from the DRAINpin. A bypass capacitor value of 0.1 µF is sufficient for bothhigh frequency de-coupling and energy storage.
Under VoltageThe under-voltage circuitry disables the power MOSFET whenthe BYPASS pin voltage drops below 5.1V. Once the BYPASSpin voltage drops below 5.1 V, it has to rise back to 5.8V toenable (turn-on) the power MOSFET.
Hysteretic Over Temperature ProtectionThe thermal shutdown circuitry senses the die junctiontemperature. The threshold is set at 135 °C with 70 °C hysteresis.When the junction temperature rises above this threshold(135 °C) the power MOSFET is disabled and remains disableduntil the die junction temperature falls by 70 °C, at which pointit is re-enabled.
Current LimitThe current limit circuit senses the current in the powerMOSFET. When this current exceeds the internal threshold(I
LIMIT), the power MOSFET is turned off for the remainder of
that cycle.
The leading edge blanking circuit inhibits the current limitcomparator for a short time (t
LEB) after the power MOSFET is
turned on. This leading edge blanking time has been set so thatcurrent spikes caused by primary-side capacitance andsecondary-side rectifier reverse recovery time will not causepremature termination of the switching pulse.
TinySwitch Operation
TinySwitch is intended to operate in the current limit mode.When enabled, the oscillator turns the power MOSFET on atthe beginning of each cycle. The MOSFET is turned off whenthe current ramps up to the current limit. The maximum on-time of the MOSFET is limited to DC
MAX by the oscillator.
Since the current limit and frequency of a given TinySwitch
device are constant, the power delivered is proportional to theprimary inductance of the transformer and is relativelyindependent of the input voltage. Therefore, the design of thepower supply involves calculating the primary inductance ofthe transformer for the maximum power required. As long asthe TinySwitch device chosen is rated for the power level at thelowest input voltage, the calculated inductance will ramp up thecurrent to the current limit before the DC
MAX limit is reached.
Enable FunctionThe TinySwitch senses the ENABLE pin to determine whetheror not to proceed with the next switch cycle as described earlier.Once a cycle is started TinySwitch always completes the cycle(even when the ENABLE pin changes state half way throughthe cycle). This operation results in a power supply whoseoutput voltage ripple is determined by the output capacitor,amount of energy per switch cycle and the delay of the ENABLEfeedback.
The ENABLE signal is generated on the secondary by comparingthe power supply output voltage with a reference voltage. TheENABLE signal is high when the power supply output voltageis less than the reference voltage.
In a typical implementation, the ENABLE pin is driven by anoptocoupler. The collector of the optocoupler transistor isconnected to the ENABLE pin and the emitter is connected tothe SOURCE pin. The optocoupler LED is connected in serieswith a Zener across the DC output voltage to be regulated.When the output voltage exceeds the target regulation voltagelevel (optocoupler diode voltage drop plus Zener voltage), theoptocoupler diode will start to conduct, pulling the ENABLEpin low. The Zener could be replaced by a TL431 device forimproved accuracy.
The ENABLE pin pull-down current threshold is nominally50 µA, but is set to 40 µA the instant the threshold is exceeded.This is reset to 50 µA when the ENABLE pull-down currentdrops below the current threshold of 40 µA.
ON/OFF ControlThe internal clock of the TinySwitch runs all the time. At thebeginning of each clock cycle the TinySwitch samples theENABLE pin to decide whether or not to implement a switchcycle. If the ENABLE pin is high (< 40 µA), then a switchingcycle takes place. If the ENABLE pin is low (greater than50 µA) then no switching cycle occurs, and the ENABLE pinstatus is sampled again at the start of the subsequent clock cycle.
At full load TinySwitch will conduct during the majority of itsclock cycles (Figure 4). At loads less than full load, theTinySwitch will “skip” more cycles in order to maintain voltageregulation at the secondary output (Figure 5). At light load orno load, almost all cycles will be skipped (Figure 6). A small

percentage of cycles will conduct to support the powerconsumption of the power supply.
The response time of TinySwitch ON/OFF control scheme isvery fast compared to normal PWM control. This provides highline ripple rejection and excellent transient response.
Power Up/DownTinySwitch requires only a 0.1 µF capacitor on the BYPASSpin. Because of the small size of this capacitor, the power-updelay is kept to an absolute minimum, typically 0.3 ms (Figure7).Due to the fast nature of the ON/OFF feedback, there is noovershoot at the power supply output. During power-down, thepower MOSFET will switch until the rectified line voltagedrops to approximately 12 V. The power MOSFET will thenremain off without any glitches (Figure 8).
Bias Winding EliminatedTinySwitch does not require a bias winding to provide power tothe chip. Instead it draws the power directly from the DRAINpin (see Functional Description above). This has two mainbenefits. First for a nominal application, this eliminates the costof an extra bias winding and associated components. Secondly,for charger applications, the current-voltage characteristic oftenallows the output voltage to fall to low values while stilldelivering power. This type of application normally requires aforward-bias winding which has many more associatedcomponents, none of which are necessary with TinySwitch.
Current Limit OperationEach switching cycle is terminated when the DRAIN currentreaches the current limit of the TinySwitch. For a given primary
inductance and input voltage, the duty cycle is constant.However, duty cycle does change inversely with the inputvoltage providing “voltage feed-forward” advantages: goodline ripple rejection and relatively constant power deliveryindependent of the input voltage.
44 kHz Switching Frequency (TNY253/254)Switching frequency (with no cycle skipping) is set at 44kHz.This provides several advantages. At higher switchingfrequencies, the capacitive switching losses are a significantproportion of the power losses in a power supply. At higherfrequencies, the preferred snubbing schemes are RCD or diode-Zener clamps. However, due to the lower switching frequencyof TinySwitch , it is possible to use a simple RC snubber (andeven just a capacitor alone in 115VAC applications at powerslevels below 4W).
Secondly, a low switching frequency also reduces EMI filteringrequirements. At 44kHz, the first, second and third harmonicsare all below 150kHz where the EMI limits are not veryrestrictive. For power levels below 4W it is possible to meetworldwide EMI requirements with only resistive and capacitivefilter elements (no inductors or chokes). This significantlyreduces EMI filter costs.
Finally, if the application requires stringent noise emissions(such as video applications), then the TNY253/254 will allowmore effective use of diode snubbing (and other secondarysnubbing techniques). The lower switching frequency allowsRC snubbers to be used to reduce noise, without significantlyimpacting the efficiency of the supply.

130 kHz Switching Frequency (TNY255)The switching frequency (with no cycle skipping) is set at130kHz. This allows the TNY255 to deliver 10W while stillusing the same size, low cost transformer (EE16) as used by theTNY253/254 for lower power applications.
BYPASS Pin CapacitorThe BYPASS pin uses a small 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor fordecoupling the internal power supply of the TinySwitch.
Application Examples
Television Standby
TinySwitch is an ideal solution for low cost, high efficiencystandby power supplies used in consumer electronic productssuch as TVs. Figure9 shows a 7.5 V, 1.3 W flyback circuit thatuses TNY253 for implementing a TV standby supply. Thecircuit operates from the DC high voltage already availablefrom the main power supply. This input voltage can range from120 to 375VDC depending on the input AC voltage range thatthe TV is rated for. Capacitor C1 filters the high voltage DCsupply, and is necessary only if there is a long trace length fromthe source of the DC supply to the inputs of the TV standbycircuit. The high voltage DC bus is applied to the seriescombination of the primary winding of T1 and the integratedhigh voltage MOSFET inside the TNY253. The low operatingfrequency of the TNY253 (44kHz), allows a low cost snubbercircuit C2 and R1 to be used in place of a primary clamp circuit.In addition to limiting the DRAIN turn off voltage spike to asafe value, the RC snubber also reduces radiated video noise by
lowering the dv/dt of the DRAIN waveform, which is critical forvideo applications such as TV and VCR. On fixed frequencyPWM and RCC circuits, use of a snubber will result in anundesirable fixed AC switching loss that is independent of load.The ON/OFF control on the TinySwitch eliminates this problemby scaling the effective switching frequency and therefore,switching loss linearly with load. Thus the efficiency of thesupply stays relatively constant down to a fraction of a watt ofoutput loading.
The secondary winding is rectified and filtered by D1 and C4 tocreate the 7.5V output. L1 and C5 provide additional filtering.The output voltage is determined by the sum of the optocouplerU2 LED forward drop (~ 1 V) and Zener diode VR1 voltage.The resistor R2, maintains a bias current through the Zener toimprove its voltage tolerance.

PC Standby
The TNY255 was designed specifically for applications such asPC standby, which require up to 10W of power from 230VACor 100/115VAC with doubler circuit. The TNY255 operates at130kHz as opposed to 44kHz for TNY253/254. The higherfrequency operation allows the use of a low cost EE16 coretransformer up to the 10W level. Figure10 shows a 5V, 10Wcircuit for such an application. The circuit operates from thehigh voltage DC supply already available from the main powersupply. Capacitor C1 filters the high voltage DC supply, and isnecessary only if there is a long trace length from the source ofthe DC supply to the inputs of the PC standby circuit. The highvoltage DC bus is applied to the primary winding of T1 in series
with the integrated high voltage MOSFET inside the TNY255.The diode D1, capacitor C2 and resistor R1 comprise the clampcircuit that limits the turn-off voltage spike on the TinySwitchDRAIN pin to a safe value. The secondary winding is rectifiedand filtered by D2 and C4 to provide the 5V ouput. Additionalfiltering is provided by L1 and C5. The output voltage isdetermined by the sum of the optocoupler U2 LED forwarddrop (~ 1V) and Zener diode VR1 voltage. The resistor R2,maintains a bias current through the Zener to improve itsvoltage tolerance.

constant voltage and constant current output. TinySwitch isalways powered from the input high voltage, therefore it doesnot require bias winding for power. Consequently, its operationis not dependent on the level of the output voltage. This allowsfor constant current charger designs that work down to zerovolts on the output.
Figure11 shows a 5.2V, 3.6W cellular phone charger circuitthat uses the TNY254 and provides constant voltage and constantcurrent output over an universal input (85 to 265VAC) range.The AC input is rectified and filtered by D1 - D4, C1 and C2 to

is provided by L2 and C6. The output voltage is determined bythe sum of the optocoupler U2 LED forward drop (~ 1V) andZener diode VR1 voltage. The resistor R8, maintains a biascurrent through the Zener to improve its voltage tolerance.
A simple constant current circuit is implemented using the VBE
of transistor Q1 to sense the voltage across the current senseresistor R4, which can be made up of one or more resistors toachieve the appropriate value. R3 is a base current limitingresistor. When the drop across R4 exceeds the V
BE of transistor
Q1, it turns on and takes over the control of the loop by drivingthe optocoupler LED. R6 drops an additional voltage to keep thecontrol loop in operation down to zero volts on the output. Withthe output shorted, the drop across R4 and R6 (~ 1.5V) issufficient to keep the Q1 and LED circuit active. Resistors R7and R9 limit the forward current that could be drawn throughVR1 by Q1 under output short circuit conditions, due to thevoltage drop across R6 and R4.
AC Adapter
Many consumer electronic products utilize low power 50/60Hztransformer based AC adapters. The TinySwitch can costeffectively replace these linear adapters with a solution that islighter, smaller and more energy efficient . Figure12 shows a9V, 0.5W AC adapter circuit using the TNY253. This circuitoperates from a 115VAC input. To save cost, this circuit runswithout any feedback, in discontinuous conduction mode todeliver constant power output relatively independent of inputvoltage. The output voltage is determined by the voltage dropacross Zener diode VR1. The primary inductance of thetransformer is chosen to deliver a power that is in excess of therequired output power by at least 50% to allow for componenttolerances and to maintain some current through the Zener VR1at full load. At no load, all of the power is delivered to the Zenerwhich should be rated and heat sinked accordingly. In spite ofa constant power consumption from the mains input, this solutionis still significantly more efficient than linear adapters up tooutput power levels of approximately 1W.
The AC input is rectified by diodes D1 and D2. D2 is used toreduce conducted EMI by only allowing noise onto the neutralline during diode conduction. The rectified AC is then filteredby capacitors C1 and C2 to generate a high voltage DC bus,which is applied to the series combination of the primarywinding of T1 and the high voltage MOSFET inside the TNY253.The resistor R2 along with capacitors C1 and C2 form a π-filterwhich is sufficient for meeting EMI conducted emissions atthese power levels. C5 is a Y-capacitor which is used to reducecommon mode EMI. Due to the 700V rating of the TinySwitchMOSFET, a simple capacitive snubber (C4) is adequate to limitthe leakage inductance spike in 115VAC applications, at lowpower levels. The secondary winding is rectified and filtered byD3 and C6.

Design
Output Power RangeThe power levels shown in the TinySwitch Selection Guide(Table 1) are approximate, recommended output power rangesthat will provide a cost optimum design and are based onfollowing assumptions:
1. The minimum DC input voltage is 90 V or higher for85VAC input or 240V or higher for 230 VAC input or115VAC input with a voltage doubler.
2. The TinySwitch is not thermally limited-the source pins aresoldered to sufficient copper area to keep the die temperatureat or below 100 °C. This limitation does not usually applyto TNY253 and TNY254.
The maximum power capability of a TinySwitch depends on thethermal environment, transformer core size and design(continuous or discontinuous), efficiency required, minimumspecified input voltage, input storage capacitance, outputvoltage, output diode forward drop, etc., and can be differentfrom the values shown in the selection guide.
Audible NoiseAt loads other than maximum load, the cycle skipping modeoperation used in TinySwitch can generate audio frequencycomponents in the transformer. This can cause the transformerto produce audio noise. Transformer audible noise can bereduced by utilizing appropriate transformer constructiontechniques and decreasing the peak flux density. For moreinformation on audio suppression techniques, please checkthe Application Notes section on our Web site atwww.powerint.com.
Ceramic capacitors that use dielectrics such as Z5U, when usedin clamp and snubber circuits, can also generate audio noise dueto electrostriction and piezo-electric effects. If this is the case,replacing them with a capacitor having a different type ofdielectric is the simplest solution. Polyester film capacitor is agood alternative.
Short Circuit CurrentThe TinySwitch does not have an auto-restart feature. As aresult, TinySwitch will continue to deliver power to the loadduring output short circuit conditions. In the worst case, peakshort circuit current is equal to the primary current limit (I
LIMIT)
multiplied by the turns ratio of the transformer (Np/N
s). In a
typical design the average current is 25 to 50% lower than thispeak value. At the power levels of TinySwitch this is easily

accommodated by rating the output diode to handle the shortcircuit current. The short circuit current can be minimized bychoosing the smallest (lowest current limit) TinySwitch for therequired power.
Layout
Single Point GroundingUse a single point ground connection at the SOURCE pin for theBYPASS pin capacitor and the Input Filter Capacitor (seeFigure 13).
Primary Loop AreaThe area of the primary loop that connects the input filtercapacitor, transformer primary and TinySwitch together, shouldbe kept as small as possible.
Primary Clamp CircuitA clamp or snubber circuit is used to minimize peak voltage andringing on the DRAIN pin at turn-off. This can be achieved byusing an RC snubber for less than 3 W or an RCD clamp asshown in Figure 13 for higher power. A Zener and diode clampacross the primary or a single 550V Zener clamp from DRAINto SOURCE can also be used. In all cases care should be takento minimize the circuit path from the snubber/clamp componentsto the transformer and TinySwitch.
Thermal ConsiderationsCopper underneath the TinySwitch acts not only as a single pointground, but also as a heatsink. The hatched area shown inFigure13 should be maximized for good heat-sinking ofTinySwitch and output diode.
Y-CapacitorThe placement of the Y-capacitor should be directly from theprimary single point ground to the common/return terminal onthe secondary side. Such placement will maximize the EMIbenefit of the Y-capacitor.
OptocouplerIt is important to maintain the minimum circuit path from theoptocoupler transistor to the TinySwitch ENABLE and SOURCEpins to minimize noise coupling.
Output DiodeFor best performance, the area of the loop connecting thesecondary winding, the Output Diode and the Output FilterCapacitor, should be minimized. See Figure13 for optimizedlayout. In addition, sufficient copper area should be providedat the anode and cathode terminals of the diode to adequatelyheatsink the diode under output short circuit conditions.
Input and Output Filter CapacitorsThere are constrictions in the traces connected to the input andoutput filter capacitors. These constrictions are present for tworeasons. The first is to force all the high frequency currents toflow through the capacitor (if the trace were wide then it couldflow around the capacitor). Secondly, the constrictions minimizethe heat transferred from the TinySwitch to the input filtercapacitor and from the secondary diode to the output filtercapacitor. The common/return (the negative output terminal inFigure13) terminal of the output filter capacitor should beconnected with a short, low resistance path to the secondarywinding. In addition, the common/return output connectionshould be taken directly from the secondary winding pin andnot from the Y-capacitor connection point.

NOTES:A. For a threshold with a negative value, negative hysteresis is a decrease in magnitude of the corresponding threshold.
B. Total current consumption is the sum of IS1

when ENABLE pin is shorted to ground (MOSFET not switching) and the sum of I
S2 and I
DSS when ENABLE pin is open (MOSFET switching).
C. Since the output MOSFET is switching, it is difficult to isolate the switching current from the supply current at the DRAIN. An alternative is to measure the BYPASS pin current at 6.2 V.
D. Bypass pin is not intended for sourcing supply current to external circuitry.
E. See typical performance characteristics section for BYPASS pin start-up charging waveform.
F. For current limit at other di/dt values, refer to current limit vs. di/dt curve under typical performance characteristics.
G. This parameter is derived from the change in current limit measured at 5X and 10X of the di/dt shown in the ILIMIT
specification.
