TNY268PN is an enhanced energy-saving low-power offline switch in an 8-pin DIP package. It combines a 700V power MOSFET, current limiting function, high-voltage switching current source, oscillator and thermal shutdown circuitry into a highly integrated device. It eliminates the need for a bias winding and associated circuitry and derives startup and operating power directly from the drain pin. In addition, TinySwitch-II devices offer features such as auto-restart, line undervoltage detection, and frequency jittering, making them a versatile choice for power management needs.

TNY268PN has a total of 8 pins. Its pin names and descriptions are as follows:


Pin 1 (BP): Connection point for a 0.1 uF external bypass capacitor for the internally generated 5.8 V supply.


Pin 2 (S): Control circuit common, internally connected to output MOSFET source.


Pin 3 (S): Control circuit common, internally connected to output MOSFET source.


Pin 4 (EN/UV): This pin has dual functions: enable input and line undervoltage sense. During normal operation, switching of the power MOSFET is controlled by this pin. MOSFET switching is terminated when a current greater than 240 uA is drawn fromthis pin.This pin also senses line undervoltage conditions through an extemal resistor connected to the DC line voltage. lf there is no external resistor connected to this pin, TinySwitch-ll detects its absence and disables the line undervoltage function.


Pin 5 (D): Power MOSFET drain connection. Provides internal operatingcurrent for both start-up and steady-state operation.


Pin 7 (S(HV RT)): Power MOSFET high voltage source return pins


Pin 8 (S(HV RT)): Power MOSFET high voltage source return pins

Ⅳ. What are the features of TNY268PN switcher?


1. EcoSmart®- extremely energy efficient


When there is no bias winding, the no-load power consumption of TNY268PN is less than 250mW under 265VAC input; when there is a bias winding, the no-load power consumption is less than 50mW. It is very suitable for mobile phone chargers and PC standby applications, allowing users to have a better experience.


2. High performance at low cost


TNY268PN has many excellent properties, such as fast switching turn-on, no overshoot, and current-limited operation. These features effectively suppress line frequency fluctuations, while built-in current limiting and thermal protection mechanisms improve overall safety.


3. Better cost/performance over RCC & linears


The TNY268PN offers a cost-effective and compact alternative to traditional large linear power supplies. It boasts a lower overall system cost compared to RCC, discrete PWM, and other integrated or hybrid solutions. Additionally, it employs straightforward on or off control, eliminating the necessity for loop compensation and bias windings. This simplifies the design and reduces costs.

  

4. TinySwitch-II features reduce system costs.


The TNY268PN incorporates a programmable under-voltage detection feature that efficiently safeguards against power on or off issues, eliminating the need for additional external components. It also boasts a fully integrated auto-restart function that effectively shields against short circuits and open-loop faults, resulting in reduced reliance on external components. Furthermore, its integrated circuitry significantly diminishes the audible noise associated with conventional paint-impregnated transformers, thus lowering electromagnetic interference and diminishing the necessity for electromagnetic interference filter components.

Ⅷ. How does TNY268PN switcher achieve energy saving?

 

First of all, TNY268PN integrates a line undervoltage detection function, which can prevent power on/off failures, improve the stability and reliability of the power supply, and further reduce energy consumption.


Secondly, TNY268PN adopts frequency dithering technology, which can greatly reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI), thereby reducing electromagnetic interference to the power supply and improving the efficiency of the power supply.


In addition, TNY268PN adopts an automatic restart circuit design, which can safely limit the output power in the event of output short circuit or open loop failure, reducing the number of components and secondary feedback circuit costs, which can also help reduce energy consumption.


Finally, it integrates a 700V power MOSFET, oscillator, high-voltage switching current source, current limit and thermal shutdown circuitry, allowing startup and operating power to come directly from the voltage on the DRAIN pin, eliminating the need for additional bias windings and associated circuitry, thereby reducing energy consumption.
