General Description
The Supertex SR036 and SR037 are inductorless, dual output
off-line controllers. 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 240V AC line. It is designed to control an
external N-channel MOSFET. When HV
IN
is between V
GS(th)
to
40V, where V
GS(th)
is the threshold voltage of the external
MOSFET, the external N-channel MOSFET 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 N-channel MOSFET is turned off. The maximum
gate voltage for the external MOSFET 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.
