Circuit Description

Key Features

A low cost 45 watt nominal, 90 watt peak, dual +/- 18 volt

output power supply is presented here for powering
audio amplifiers or similar applications. Because the sum
of the outputs are sensed, good voltage regulation and
tracking is provided despite the extremely simple zener
and optocoupler voltage feedback circuit. The off-line
power converter is implemented utilizing ONs NCP1218
quasi-resonant (QR) flyback controller. This topology
provides very high conversion efficiency and low noise
generation because of the QR, zero voltage switching
properties and the fact that the flyback switching
operation is achieved in the discontinuous inductor
current, critical conduction mode. The input circuit
features common and differential mode conducted EMI
filtering using off-the-shelf components. An auxiliary Vcc
winding on the flyback transformer also provides for very
low input standby power (less than 1 W) under no load
conditions.

Dual, tracking +/- 18 volt outputs.

Very low cost, simple off-line power supply circuit.

Quasi-resonant, critical conduction mode flyback
topology for maximum efficiency.

Input conducted EMI filter.

Low output ripple (< 100 mV)

NTC thermistor inrush limiting

Very low EMI noise generation

Inherent over-current and over-voltage protection
