Description

The RD2 reference design board is an example of a very low cost production worthy power supply design using the TOPSwitch family of Three-terminal Off-line Switchers from Power Integrations. It is intended to help TOPSwitch users to quickly develop their products by providing a basic design that can be easily modified to fit a particular application. In most cases, a minor change to the transformer for a different output voltage or voltages is all that is needed. A complete set of performance curves, the parts list, the board layout and details on transformer design are provided to speed up the TOPSwitch based switcher design.
