Description
The TNY256 extends the power range of the TinySwitch family
of energy efficient, low power off-line switchers. TinySwitch
devices use a breakthrough design to provide the lowest cost,
high efficiency, off-line switching solution for low power
applications. They integrate a 700 V power MOSFET, oscillator,
high voltage switched current source, current limit and thermal
shutdown circuitry into a single, monolithic device. The
devices start-up and operate on power derived from the DRAIN
voltage, eliminating the need for a transformer bias winding and
associated circuitry. TinySwitch's low operating current allows
power supply no-load consumption to be kept under 100 mW,
even at 265 VAC input.

Application Considerations section for more details.
The TinySwitch Plus incorporates auto-restart, line under-voltage
sense, and frequency jittering features. The auto-restart circuit
safely limits output power during fault conditions such as output
short or open loop. The auto-restart circuit is fully integrated and
does not require external timing components. The line under-
voltage sense threshold can be externally programmed using a line
sense resistor. During start-up, this feature keeps the TNY256 off
until the input line voltage reaches the under-voltage threshold.
When the input line voltage is removed, the line under-voltage
circuit prevents auto-restart attempts after the output goes out of
regulation. This eliminates power down glitches caused by the
slow discharge of input storage capacitors present in applications
such as standby supplies. A single resistor is used to implement
this feature, eliminating what normally takes five to six components.
The line sense resistor is optional. The TNY256 operating frequency
of 130 kHz is jittered (frequency modulated) to reduce both quasi-
peak and average EMI, minimizing filtering costs.
