clamp design for LYT switches

Posted by: stalindm on 05/18/2015

Hi, We are working on a 25W Led driver High line design using LYT4226. Kindly guide us to select the correct value of Snubber capacitor and Resistor for the primary clamp ckt( with high efficiency) . Excel design sheet shows only clamp power dissipation. Kindly share the correct procedure to find the correct clamp component values.

Thanks

Hi,

Please refer to figure 18 of the attached application note-59 for sample clamp circuits used in actual design.

p.13 also has some info about the clamp component selection. The amount of clamp you need depends on how much leakage inductance on the transformer so if you minimize the leakage, the less clamping you need.

Please measure the drain voltage to determine the maximum peak voltage that won't exceed the device rating.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. We really interested to know How you got the component values of the RCD primary clamp.For the design values - reflected output Vor 110V, Leakage inductance is 50uH, What is the equation to find the Cclamp and Rclamp in the case of LYT4226. Also provide the equation to find clamp dissipation too.

Thanks

Hi,

I am sorry but if the info you are looking for is not in the application note, then please try to find generic articles about RCD clamp.
