Troubleshooting and Design Tips for Fairchild Power Switch (FPSTM) Flyback Applications www.fairchildsemi.com ©2003 Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation Introduction This application note describes troubleshooting for problems that power supply engineers may encounter when operating FPS application circuits. This note helps engineers figure out causes and solutions to their problems starting with the symptoms. Some useful application tips are also provided. The following items are covered in this application note. Figure 1 shows the schematic of the basic off-line flyback converter using FPS, which also serves as the reference circui t for the troubleshooting described in this application note. It is also assumed that all the protection circuits within the FPS are in auto restart mode. Rev. 1.0.0
