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, HVIN, 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 HVIN is between VGS(th) to 40V, where VGS(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 VSOURCE. An unregulated DC voltage will develop on VSOURCE. Once HVIN 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. |
