General Description
The Supertex SR036 and SR037 are inductorless, dual output
off-line controllers, providing up to
1.0W
of output power. They
do not require any transformers, inductors, or high voltage
input capacitors. The input voltage, HV
IN
, is designed to
operate from an unfiltered full wave rectified 120V or 230V AC
line. It is designed to control an external N-channel MOSFET
or IGBT. When HV
IN
is less than 45V, the external transistor is
turned-on allowing it to charge an external capacitor connected
to V
SOURCE
. An unregulated DC voltage will develop on V
SOURCE
.
Once HV
IN
is above 45V, the transistor is turned off. The
maximum gate voltage for the external transistor is 24V. The
unregulated voltage is approximately 18V. The SR036 also
provides a regulated 3.3V whereas the SR037 provides a
regulated 5.0V.
WARNING!!! Galvanic isolation is not provided. Dangerous
voltages are present when connected to the AC line. It is
the responsibility of the designer to assure adequate
safeguards are in place to protect the end user from
electrical shock.
