POWER LOSSES CALCULATION
When the input current is sinusoidal (case of PFC), the conducted power losses can be calculated by us-
ing the following formula:
If the output average current is 8Amps, V
t0
and R
d
of the electrical characteristics table can be used. For
different output current please refer to the application note AN1600 that provides guidelines to estimate
the correct values of V
t0
and R
d
.
LIGHTNING SURGE IMMUNITY (IEC61000-4-5)
During lightning surge transient voltage across the AC line, over current and over voltage stress are ap-
plied on all the components of the power supply. The STIL can sustain a maximum peak surge current up
to I
PEAK
(I
PEAK
= 500A for STIL04/STIL06 and I
PEAK
= 1000A for STIL08) as defined by the combine wave-
form generator (8/20µs waveform as shown in figures 5, 6 and 7).
Special recommendations for the lightning surge immunity:
1 - Check that the I
PEAK
in the STIL stays below the limit specified above.
2 - Check that no over voltages are applied on the STIL and the bridge diode.
3 - In order to reduce the dynamic current stress (dI
out
/dt) through the structure of the STIL, it is recom-
mended to connect a differential mode choke coil in front of the STIL and the bridge diode.
More details and design guidelines are provided in the application note “AN1600 - STIL: Inrush Current
Limitation Device for Off-Line Power Converter”.
