General Description
Based on Flyback topology, the Primary side
Regulated AP3981D2 EV board is designed to serve
as an example for High Efficiency, low cost & less
components consumer home appliance systems. Also
a 650V N MosFet is integrated within control IC for
easy fitting in a flexible & small size power system
design. During the valley on operating & work at PFM
region the high efficiency and low standby function can
be achieved, by mean of using multi-mode controlling
skill the accurate constant voltage and constant current
can be easy meet. Its output power is rated at 12W
with 12V-1A. It can meet DOE VI and CoC Tier 2
energy efficiency requirement.
Key Features
90 ~264VAC input range
Using the Primary side control for eliminating the Opto-
coupler.
Multi-Mode PFM method operations, the switching
frequency between 24kh ~80Khz.
With Valley on detection the switching stay at Valley on
region so that will improve power converting efficiency &
EMI performance, the 87% Efficiency can be reached at
full load.
During the burst mode operation and Low start-up
operating quiescent currents the 75mW low standby
input power can be achieved.
Dynamic response is improved during work at three
mode operation as well as benefiting the accurate
constant voltage (CV) regulation & constant current (CC)
performance.
There is a Soft start during startup process.
Built-in Jittering Frequency function which is the EMI
emission can be improved.
Internal Auto Recovery OCP, OVP, OLP, OTP Power
Protection, cycle by cycle current limit, also with DC
polarity protection
Built –in Cable Compensation mode.
With a Brown out Protection.
Applications
Switching AC-DC Adaptor & Charger
Power home Appliances systems
The auxiliary Vcc power supply for bigger power system.

Quick Start Guide
1. The evaluation board is preset at 12V/1A from output + & -
2. Ensure that the AC source is switched OFF or disconnected before doing connection.
3. Connect the AC line wires of power supply to “Land N” on the left side of the board.
4. Turn on the AC main switch.
5. Measure Red & Black wires to ensure correct output voltages at 12V respectively.
