About this manual

This document discusses the design of 90W wide-range-mains SMPS for CRT monitors based on the L6565 QR controller. It details two specific designs: a low-cost version meeting EnergyStar requirements (Pin < 2W) and an evolved version compliant with the IEA's "1W initiative".

The note explains the advantages of the Quasi-resonant (QR) flyback topology for noise-sensitive applications like monitors. It provides a detailed electrical schematic and component specifications for the EnergyStar-compliant design, including transformer winding details and feedback circuitry using a TL431 and optocoupler.

Frequently asked questions

What is the primary controller IC used in these designs?

The designs are based on the L6565, a control IC specifically designed to handle Quasi-resonant (QR) flyback converters.

How does the feedback loop regulate the output voltage?

Regulation is performed using a TL431 and optocoupler arrangement on the secondary side, which feeds information back to the current sense pin of the L6565.
