The switching ripple for the +5V output measured is 12mVpp while this ripple measured for
the +12V output is 200mVpp. The low ripple for the +5V output is obtained using the low
pass LC (PI) filter configuration of L2 and C10. The waveforms are taken at the input voltage
of 90Vac.

The transient load response is measured at the input voltage of 90Vac where the +5V output
load is varied from 50% load (0.5A) to 100% load (1A) while the +12V is kept at the nominal
load value of 0.21A. The dynamic response measured is 140mV or 2.8% while the settling
time is 500ms. See Figure 13.

Blue Angel

Blue Angel
The reference board meets the Blue Angel Norm, consuming less than 1W total when
working in stand-by mode. The board operates in burst mode when both the output loads
are reduced to zero and the output voltages still remain regulated.

When the VIPer22A (U1) is on, energy is stored in the primary winding of transformer (1-2),
TX1. This energy is transferred to the auxiliary winding (3-4), and to the output (5-6) when
the VIPer22A is off. The auxiliary winding provides the bias voltage for the VIPer22A at pin 4
(Vdd).
The electrical specifications of the transformer are as follow:

Primary Inductance 2.25mH15%

Primary Leakage Inductance 22H typical

Turns Ratio (N1/N5:N2) 1:0.053

Turns Ratio (N1/N5:N3) 1:0.127

Turns Ratio (N1/N5:N4) 1:0.167

The transformer is designed and manufactured by Cramer Coil and Transformer.
