When MOSFET is ON, current Ip flows through the
transformer’s primary-side winding Lp, and energy is
accumulated.
At that time, the diode is off.
When MOSFET is OFF, the accumulated energy is
output from the secondary-wide winding Ls, current Is

1-1-5. Calculation of primary-side turn count Np
Generally, the maximum magnetic flux density B(T) for an ordinary ferrite core is 0.4T @100°C, so Bsat = 0.3T.
Since magnetic saturation does not result from this, Np is set based on the AL-valueNI characteristics.
When AL-value = 150 nH/turns2 is set,
The AL-valueNI characteristics of EI22 are used to confirm that this is within the tolerance range.
When it is beyond the tolerance range, Np is adjusted.

1-2. Selection of main components
1-2-1IC1
Since Pout = 12V × 1A = 12W, BM2P034 is selected.
1-2-2. Input capacitor: C1
Use Table 1-3 to select the capacitance of the input capacitor.
Since Pout = 12V × 1A = 12W, C1 = 2 × 12 = 24 33μF.
Input voltage (Vac) Cin (μF)
85-264 2 X Pout(W)
180-264 1 x Pout(W)
(*) The above values are guidelines for full-wave rectification. When selecting, also consider other specifications
such as the retention-time.
The withstanding voltage of the capacitor becomes, Vac (max) × 1.41. Say for AC 264V, it is 264V × 1.41 = 372V, so this
should be 400V or more.
1-2-3. Current-sensing resistor: R1
The current-sensing resistor limits the current that flows on the primary side to provide protection against output overload,
and is used for slope compensation of current mode control. Consequently, in some cases limits may be imposed according
to the transformer’s primary-side inductance and input voltage.
In the BM2P0XX Series, an AC voltage correction function is built-in the chip for overload protection. This corrects offsetting
of the overload protection point caused by different input voltages (such as AC 100V and AC 200V).
Confirm the overload protection point while the resistor is assembled in the product.
Sensing resistance loss P_R1:
Set to 0.5W or above in consideration of pulse resistance.
With regard to pulse resistance, the structure of the resistance may vary even with the same power rating.
Check with the resistor manufacturers for details.
1-2-4. VCC-diode: D2
A high-speed diode is recommended as the VCC-diode.
Reverse voltage applied to the VCC-diode:
When VCC (max) = 29 V,
With a design-margin taken into account, 122.5V / 0.7 = 175V 200V component is selected.
(Example: ROHM’s RF05VA2S 200V, 0.5A)

1-2-5. VCC capacitor: C2
A VCC capacitor is needed to stabilize the IC’s VCC voltage.
Capacitance of 2.2μF or above is recommended (example: 50V,
10μF).
Next, determine the startup time of the IC at power-on.
Figure 1-5 illustrates VCC capacitor capacitance and startup time
characteristics.
1-2-6. VCC winding surge-voltage limiting resistor: R2
Based on the transformer’s leakage inductance (Lleak), a large surge-voltage (spike noise) may occur during the instant
when the MOSFET is switched from ON to OFF. This surge-voltage is induced in the VCC winding, and as the VCC voltage
increases the IC’s VCC overvoltage protection may be triggered.
A limiting resistor R2 (approximately 5 to 22) is inserted to reduce the surge-voltage that is induced in the VCC winding.
Confirm the rise in VCC voltage while the resistor is assembled in the product.
1-2-7. Snubber circuits: C3, D3, R3
Based on the transformer’s leakage inductance (Lleak), a large surge-voltage (spike noise) may occur during the instant
when the MOSFET is switched from ON to OFF. This surge-voltage is applied between the MOSFET’s Drain and Source, so
in the worst case damage to MOSFET might occur. RCD snubber circuits are recommended to suppress this surge-voltage.
(1) Determination of clamp voltage (Vclamp) and clamp ripple-voltage (Vripple)
Consider to take a design-margin based on the MOSFET’s withstand voltage, when determining the clamp voltage.
Vclamp = 650V × 0.8 = 520V
The clamp ripple-voltage (Vripple) is about 50V.
(2) Determination of R3
When Lleak = Lp × 10% = 683μH × 10% = 68μH, R3 is derived as:
R3 loss P_R3 is expressed as
A 1W component is determined with consideration for design margin.
(3) Determination of C3
The voltage applied to C3 is 520V – 264×1.41 = 148V.
300V or above is set with consideration for design margin.
(4) Determination of D3
Choose a fast recovery diode as the diode, with a withstanding voltage that is at or above the MOSFET’s Vds (max) value.
(Example: Rohm RFN1L7S: 200V, 0.8A)
The surge-voltage affects not only the transformer’s leakage inductance but also the PCB substrate’s pattern.
Confirm the Vds voltage while assembled in the product, and adjust the snubber circuit as necessary.

Choose a high-speed diode (Schottky barrier diode or fast recovery diode) as the output rectification diode.
Reverse voltage applied to output diode is
When Vout (max) = 12 V + 5% = 12.6V:
A 87.4V/0.7 = 125V 200V component is determined with consideration for design margin.
Also, diode loss (approximate value) becomes Pd = Vf × Iout = 1V × 1A = 1W.
(Example: Rohm RF301B2S200V 3A , CPD package)
Use of a voltage margin of 70% or less and current of 50% or less is recommended.
Check temperature rise while assembled in the product. When necessary, reconsider the component and use a heat sink or
similar to dissipate the heat.
1-2-9. Output capacitors: C5
Determine the output capacitors based on the output load‘s allowable peak-to-peak ripple voltage (ΔVpp) and ripple-current.
When the MOSFET is ON, the output diode is OFF. At that time, current is supplied to the load from the output capacitors.
When the MOSFET is OFF, the output diode is ON. At that time, the output capacitors are charged and a load current is also
supplied.
When ΔVpp = 200mV,
With an ordinary switching power supply electrolytic-capacitor (low-impedance component), impedance is rated at 100kHz,
so it is converted to 100kHz.
Ripple-current Is (rms):
The capacitor’s withstanding voltage should be set to about twice the output voltage.
Vout × 2 = 12V × 2 = 24V 25V or above
Select an electrolytic capacitor that is suitable for these conditions.
(Example: low impedance type 35V, 1000 μF for switching power supply )
(*) Use the actual equipment to confirm the actual ripple-voltage and ripple-current.
1-3. EMI countermeasures
Confirm the following with regard to EMI countermeasures.
(*) Constants are reference values. Need to be adjusted based on noise effects.
- Addition of filter to input block
- Addition of capacitor between primary-side and secondary-side (C7: approximately Y-Cap 2200pF)
- Addition of capacitor between MOSFET’s drain and source (C8: approximately 1kV, 10 to 100pF)
(When a capacitor has been added between the drain and source, loss is increased. Check for temperature rise and
adjust accordingly)
- Addition of RC snubber to diode (C9: 500V 1000pF, R10: approximately 10, 1W)
