Current Sense
Two-Leg Sense - Senses the current that flows through both
lower primary FETs. Operates at the switching frequency.
Top Sense - Senses the sum of the current that flows through
both upper primary FETs. Operates at the clock frequency.
Resistor Sense - This simple scheme is used in a primary side
control system. The sum of the current that flows through both
lower primary FETs is sensed with a low impedance power
resistor. The sources of Q3 and Q4 and ISENSE should be tied
at the same point as close as possible.
BIASES
Linear Regulator - In a primary side control system, a
linear regulator derived from the input line can be used for
the start-up purpose, and an extra winding coupled with the
main transformer can provide the controller power after the
start up.
DCM Flyback - Use a PWM controller to develop both
primary and secondary biases with discontinuous current
mode flyback topology.

Primary FETs
Full Bridge - Four MOSFETs are required for full bridge
converters. The drain to source voltage rating of the
MOSFETs is Vin.
Push-Pull - Only the two lower MOSFETs are required for
push-pull converters. The two upper drivers are not used.
