Product Summary

This document gives guidance for the design of a singleended forward converter with  DPA-Switch in applications 
that require a single output voltage. It is intended for systems 
engineers and circuit designers who wish to become familiar 
with the capabilities and requirements of  DPA-Switch in 
DC-DC applications. This application note provides background 
material that will assist users of the DPA-Switch DC-DC forward 
converter design utility that is included in the software design 
tool,  PI Expert. Subsequent application notes will provide 
comprehensive procedures for designs of greater complexity. 
Designers are advised to check Power Integrations? website at 
www.powerint.com for the latest application information and 
design tools

Features

?  Low component count
?  High ef?ciency (typically >91% with synchronous 
recti?cation)
?  Built in soft-start to minimize stress and overshoot
?  Built in accurate line under-voltage detection
?  Built-in accurate line overvoltage shutdown protection
?  Built in adjustable current limit
?  Built-in overload and open loop fault protection
?  Built-in thermal shutdown
?  Programmable duty cycle reduction to limit duty cycle
    excursion at high line and transient load conditions
?  Very good light-load ef?ciency
