The maximum output power of LNK409EG depends on the input voltage, output voltage, and the transformer design. However, Power Integrations recommends a maximum output power of 9W for this device.
To ensure reliable start-up, make sure the input voltage is within the specified range (85-265VAC), and the input capacitor is properly sized to handle the inrush current. Also, ensure that the transformer is designed to provide sufficient magnetizing current during start-up.
The BYPASS pin is used to connect an external bypass capacitor to the internal voltage regulator. This helps to reduce the noise and ripple on the internal voltage regulator output, which can improve the overall performance and reliability of the device.
No, the LNK409EG is designed for isolated flyback converters and should not be used in non-isolated topologies. Using it in a non-isolated topology can lead to safety issues and may not meet regulatory requirements.
To optimize the transformer design, follow the guidelines provided in the Power Integrations application notes and datasheet. Key considerations include the transformer turns ratio, magnetizing inductance, and leakage inductance. It's also recommended to use a transformer with a low core loss and high magnetizing inductance to minimize losses and improve efficiency.
