8.3.7 External Bias Supply

GUID-3E127824-7F0E-42E3-86B6-B1A3E725A1E5-low.gifFigure 8-4 External Bias Supply Using Transformer Auxiliary Winding

The LM5181 has an external bias supply feature that reduces input quiescent current and increases efficiency. When the voltage at SS/BIAS exceeds a rising threshold of 5.5 V, bias power for the internal LDO regulator can be derived from an external voltage source or from a transformer auxiliary winding as shown in Figure 8-4. With a bias supply connected, the LM5181 then uses its internal soft-start ramp to control the primary current during start-up.

When using a transformer auxiliary winding for bias power, the total leakage current related to diodes DBIAS1 and DBIAS2 in Figure 8-4 should be less than 1 µA across the full operating temperature range.
