48V TO 12V FLYBACK CONVERTER AS AUXILIARY
SUPPLY
Figure 2 shows a simple bias supply using the SC4911.
This 36 - 72V input flyback power supply employs primary
side regulation from the transformer bias winding, which
eliminates the need of opto coupler and secondary
reference error amplifier. This is best for low cost
applications requiring isolation and narrow load variation
range on the secondary.
During the start-up, the input source trickle charges the
capacitor C1 through start-up resistor R1. As long as
voltage across C1 reaches the Vcc turn-on threshold,
the SC4911 turns on abruptly and start driving the gate
of MOSFET Q1. After the SC4911 starts up the primary
bias winding supplies the primary circuitry.
Typical Applications
The output of the T1 bias winding is rectified, filtered by
C1 and is fed to the FB through feedback resistor R5
and R7. The output voltage on the secondary is
proportional to the bias voltage by the turns ratio of the
output to the bias winding. C7 and R9 are for frequency
compensation. An additional small capacitor could be
used from COMP to GND if it is needed. The LUVLO pin
monitors the input voltage via resistor R2 and R4 to
determine turn-on and turn-off of the converter. Capacitor
C5 helps filter out the noise from the input line.

Typical Applications (Cont.)
Isolated feedback 48V to 12V application
Figure 3 gives an example of isolated feedback and low
power flyback application of the SC4911. T1 is a three
winding transformer. The winding 1-2 is a bias winding
which supplies the primary circuitry after the SC4911
starts up. During the startup, the input source trickle
charges the capacitor C1 through the start-up resistor
R1. As long as voltage across C1 reaches the Vcc turn-
on threshold, the SC4911 turns on abruptly and start
driving the gate of MOSFET Q1. As Q1 starts switching,
regenerative feedback from the bias winding will provide
current via D1 to capacitor C1.
In this configuration, the input voltage is in the range of
36V to 72V for telecom applications, and the LUVLO pin
monitors the input voltage via resistor R2 and R5 to
determine turn-on and turn-off of the converter. Capacitor
C5 helps filter out the noise from the input line.
Timing resistor R13 sets switching frequency. R3 and
C6 are used to suppress the voltage spikes across the
switch due to leakage inductance of T1. R11 is current
sense resistor to set current limit of the convertor. R10
and C9 filter spikes caused by parasitic capacitance
during the turning on of Q1. The U3 SC431 is shunt
regulator integrating an accurate 2.5V bandgap
reference, op amp and driver into a single device. It
compares sensed output voltage divided by R7 and R9
to its internal reference and drives the amplified error
signal to opto-coupler U1. C7 keeps ripple and noise
from over driving the device. U1 delivers the isolated
feedback signal to the SC4911. C8 and R12 are for
compensation. An additional small capacitor could be
used from COMP to GND if needed.

Non-Isolated feedback 48V to 12V application
Figure 4 is an example of low cost, non-isolated feedback,
low power application of the SC4911. T1 is a two winding
transformer. The output voltage is directly fed to the
primary circuitry.
During the start-up, the input source trickle charges the
capacitor C3 through start-up resistor R1. As long as the
voltage across C3 reaches the Vcc turn-on threshold,
the SC4911 turns on abruptly and starts driving the gate
of MOSFET Q1. After the SC4911 starts up the secondary
winding supplies the primary circuitry.
In this 36V to 72V telecom application, LUVLO monitors
the input voltage via resistor R2 and R4 to determine
turn-on and turn-off of the converter. Capacitor C4 helps
filter out the noise from the input line. Voltage feedback
is directly brought from the output to the input error
amplifier of SC4911 through R5 and R7. C6 and R9 are
for frequency compensation. An additional small
capacitor could be used from COMP to GND if needed.
