Fairchild Semiconductor FSQ500L Compact Green-Mode Adapter Application Note
This document describes a detailed design strategy for a compact flyback converter using the FSQ500L, which combines a current-mode Pulse Width Modulator (PWM) with a single-chip 700V senseFET. The device is designed to replace linear power supplies to achieve low cost, reduced size, and increased efficiency for universal AC input voltage ranges.
