R
sets the minimum HT voltage at start-up that will allow the

controller to continue to run. 73% of root(2) × VAC
and will generally be satisfactory for most designs but an alternative
value may be entered in [B160] for special circumstances. It also
sets the brown-out level which is 43% of this value.
R
, in conjunction with R
sets the output voltage and is calculated

will tend to result in a slightly high output voltage as the high current

output voltage when the secondary discharge current is close to zero.
Step 11 – No-Load Power Estimator
Here, all the no-load losses are calculated and summed to give a
no-load power estimate. Aiming for a 27 mW target should result in a
