2) The power supply MOS FET Q101 carries out the ON/OFF operation of the control unit, by means of
U101 KA3842A. KA3842A is a PWM (pulse width modulation) IC chip, with 16 V starting voltage and
10 V cut-off voltage.
The following list shows the pin layout of KA3842A pulse width modulation IC chip.

3) Overcurrent protection
R111 is a sensor resistor, and it has the function of increasing the current of this loop when the output
of the secondary side is either in the overloaded state or is insufficient.
Since the current passing through the R111 sensor resistor has a voltage dropping effect, the operation
of the output pulse is stopped when a voltage lower than 1 Volt is detected at pin number 3 of KA3842A
3chip, and the switch of the power supply MOS FET is kept in the "break" state until the VCC voltage is
charged up to 16 Volts, and the operation of U101 KA3842A resumes. When it is not clearly known
whether there is voltage shortage or not, however, this circuit repeats the ON/OFF switching, and the
power supply LED lights up.
4) Starting circuit
The resistors R122 and R123 and the transistor U103 and diode D131 and resistor R169 and zener
diode ZD101 are for operation starting. When the circuit starts its operation, the power supply trans-
former T101 supplies the auxiliary 12 Volt power to the control IC chip U101 via pins 6 and 7 of the
winding transformer T101.
5) Synchronization circuit
The synchronization signal is induced from the fly-back transformer (FBT), and carries out the syn-
chronization with the power supply frequency. The frequency range is from 31 kHz to 70 kHz, and the
component elements of the synchronization circuit are D124, R116, D109, R115 and R117.
6) Feedback circuit
The feedback circuit loop induces the 12 V voltage through the pin 6 and the pin 7 of the power supply
transformer. This voltage is connected with the pin 3 of the IC chip U101 by passing through U103, R135,
R136 and passing next through is a regular loop.
7) Snubber circuit
The snubber circuit has the function of clamping the ON/OFF spikes of the power supply MOS-FET,
and its component elements D105, C106, R106 make up a snubber that turns OFF the power supply
MOS-FET.
8) Secondary rectifier and smoothing rectifier
The secondary rectifier is a harmonic rectifier consisting of D111, C124 and R128, and it works as a
snubber circuit as well. The capacitors C120 and C138 are smoothing rectifiers working on the 49 Volt
DC output. There are also other DC outputs, such as 80 Volt (D110), 13.5 Volt (D112) and 6.3 Volt
(D113).
