Quick Design Checklist

As with any power supply, the operation of all InnoSwitch3 designs
should be verified on-the-bench to make sure that component limits
are not exceeded under worst-case conditions. As a minimum, the
following tests are strongly recommended:
Maximum Drain Voltage
Verify that V of InnoSwitch3 and SR FET do not exceed 90% of
DS
breakdown voltages at the highest input voltage and peak (overload)
output power in normal operation and during start-up.
Maximum Drain Current
At maximum ambient temperature, maximum input voltage and peak
output (overload) power. Review Drain current waveforms for any
signs of transformer saturation or excessive leading-edge current

spikes at start-up. Repeat tests under steady-state conditions and
verify that the leading edge current spike is below I
of t . Under all conditions, the maximum Drain current for the
LEB(MIN)
primary MOSFET should be below the specified absolute maximum
ratings.
Thermal Check
At specified maximum output power, minimum input voltage and
maximum ambient temperature. Verify that temperature specification
limits for InnoSwitch3 IC, transformer, output SR FET, and output
capacitors are not exceeded. Enough thermal margin should be
allowed for part-to-part variation of MOSFET R
maximum power, a maximum InnoSwitch3 SOURCE pin temperature
of 110 °C is recommended to allow for R
