Description
VIPOWER: 108W POWER SUPPLY USING VIPER100A
Manufacturer
STMicroelectronics
Datasheet
January 2001
INTRODUCTION
The VIPer100A is designed to deliver 100W for the upper voltage range or 50W for universal input. This
application note describes a power supply that delivers over 100W for both voltage ranges using a
voltage doubler in the front end. The VIPer100A combines a state of the art PWM circuit together with an
optimized 700V avalanche rugged Vertical Power MOSFET. It is part of STMicroelectronics proprietary
VIPower, (Vertical Intelligent Power). It uses a fabrication process, which allows the integration of analog
control circuits with vertical power device on the same chip.
Key Features of The VIPer100A
1. SCOPE
This document will cover the implementation and results for achieving 18V at 6A power supply that will
run from both European and domestic mains. (90-132 Vac and 180- 264 Vac, 47-63 Hz).

... The current shows the power supply being in the continuous conduction mode with a peak of 2A. The snubber R3-C4 reduces the ringing thus lowering the maximum peak voltage on the MOSFET and reducing the EMI. In these waveforms the transil, D3, was replaced AN1344 - APPLICATION NOTE 4/10 ...

... AN1344 - APPLICATION NOTE clamp, (R2=39K, 2W and C3=4700pF). The clamp circuit worked the same under normal operation, but during start up or during short circuit operation, the voltage on the drain of VIPer100A reached as high as 750V. The device is avalanche rugged and was able to withstand the momentary energy. Using the Transil at this power level is preferred to reduce the stresses ...

... When Vdd reaches below the under voltage lock out of 8V, another type of burst mode appears which is controlled by the Vdd voltage. This is called the Bad burst mode (see figure 6). Bad because it has drawbacks, but the output voltage is still under control. AN1344 - APPLICATION NOTE 6/10 ...

... AN1344 - APPLICATION NOTE Figure 6: Bad Burst Mode At Lighter load, the Vdd voltage droops below the under voltage threshold, the start up circuit is reset, and the Vdd capacitor charges back up to the high threshold of 11V through the start up current source. As shown in the picture the reoccurrence of this cycle is about 300ms. The worse output voltage swing is 2 ...
