Quick Design Checklist

Maximum Drain Voltage


Verify that the peak VDS does not exceed 725 V under all
operating conditions including start-up and fault conditions.

Maximum Drain Current


Measure the peak drain current under all operation conditions
including start-up and fault conditions. Look for signs of
transformer saturation (usually occurs at highest operating
ambient temperatures). Verify that the peak current is less than
the stated Absolute Maximum Rating in the data sheet.

Thermal Check
At maximum output power, both minimum and maximum line
voltage and ambient temperature; verify that temperature
specifications are not exceeded for the LYTSwitch-4,
transformer, output diodes, output capacitors and drain clamp
components.

Maximum Drain Voltage


Verify that the peak VDS does not exceed the device absolute
maximum rating under all operating conditions including
start-up and fault conditions.

Maximum Drain Current


Measure the peak drain current under all operation conditions
including start-up and fault conditions. Look for signs of
transformer saturation (usually occurs at highest operating
ambient temperatures). Verify that the peak current is less than
the stated Absolute Maximum Rating in the data sheet.

Thermal Check
