TOPSwitch-GX Design Considerations
Power Table
Datasheet power table represents the maximum practical
continuous output power based on the following conditions:
TOP242 to TOP246: 12 V output, Schottky output diode,
150 V reflected voltage (V
contained in application note AN-29. TOP247 to TOP249: Higher
output voltages used with a maximum output current of
6 A.
For all devices a 100 VDC minimum for 85-265 VAC and
250 VDC minimum for 230 VDC are assumed and sufficient
heat sinking to keep device temperature ≤ 100 °C. Power
levels shown in the power table for the R package device
assume 6.45 cm
enclosed adapter, or 19.4 cm
TOPSwitch-GX Selection
Selecting the optimum TOPSwitch-GX depends upon required
maximum output power, efficiency, heat sinking constraints
and cost goals. With the option to externally reduce current
limit, a larger TOPSwitch-GX may be used for lower power

applications where higher efficiency is needed or minimal heat
sinking is available.
Input Capacitor
The input capacitor must be chosen to provide the minimum DC
voltage required for the TOPSwitch-GX converter to maintain
regulation at the lowest specified input voltage and maximum
output power. Since TOPSwitch-GX has a higher DC
TOPSwitch-II, it is possible to use a smaller input capacitor.
For TOPSwitch-GX, a capacitance of 2 µF per watt is possible
for universal input with an appropriately designed transformer.
Primary Clamp and Output Reflected Voltage V
A primary clamp is necessary to limit the peak TOPSwitch-GX
drain to source voltage. A Zener clamp requires few parts and
takes up little board space. For good efficiency, the clamp
Zener should be selected to be at least 1.5 times the output
reflected voltage V
tion time short. When using a Zener clamp in a universal input
application, a V
for the absolute tolerances and temperature variations of the
Zener. This will ensure efficient operation of the clamp circuit
and will also keep the maximum drain voltage below the rated
breakdown voltage of the TOPSwitch-GX MOSFET.
