What is TOP224YN 

The TOP224YN is a member of the second-generation TOPSwitch™-II family, known for its cost-effectiveness and improvements over its predecessor. This particular IC extends its power range from 100W to 150W for 100/115/230 VAC inputs and from 50W to 90W for 85-265 VAC universal inputs. It's designed to cater to various applications such as TVs, monitors, and audio amplifiers, leveraging the advantages of TOPSwitch technology.

TOP224YN

What sets the TOP224YN apart are its enhancements that reduce sensitivity to board layout and line transients, making the design process more straightforward. Its standard 8L PDIP package option is particularly useful in lower power, high-efficiency applications, reducing costs while ensuring effective heat dissipation. This package cleverly uses six of its pins to transfer heat directly from the chip to the board, eliminating the need for a separate heat sink.

 

The TOP224YN integrates all the necessary functions for a switched-mode control system into a single three-terminal monolithic IC. This includes a power MOSFET, PWM controller, high-voltage start-up circuit, loop compensation, and fault protection circuitry. Overall, it's a versatile and efficient component designed to simplify circuit design and improve performance in various power supply applications.

This 4W standby supply, depicted in the following pictures, supports appliances needing standby functions even when the main power is off. It utilizes a 5V secondary for standby and a non-isolated 12V output for primary side operations, accommodating input from 100V to 380V DC (universal AC input range). Managed by the TOP221 in an 8-pin power DIP package, it regulates the 5V output via a Zener diode (VR1) and an optocoupler (U2), with C5 controlling loop compensation and restart frequency. It handles transformer spikes through R3, C1, and diode D1, providing a non-isolated 12V output using rectified bias winding (D3, C4). The isolated 5V output comes from rectification (D2) and filtering (C2, L1, C3).
