Non-Isolated AC/DC Linear power supply

For many applications a simple cost-effective AC/DC converter remains the most efficient option. That is where the non-isolated AC/DC linear power supply continues to play an important role. And with Nexperia's portfolio, designers can still produce an efficient converter solution while minimizing costs.

Design challenges

  • Max Vdrop can be controlled by adding a Zener before the ballast. As well as providing a second output (e.g. 24 V for the relay), the voltage of the relays can be adjusted to have the best price compromise
  • Using an LFPAK56 eliminates the need for a heat spreader to dissipate the power in the ballast (Vdrop x 50 mA – (24-5)*50 mA = 0.95 W)
  • Clip-bonding package provides best thermal performance (much better Rth) with no heatsink or copper surface to dissipate power
