approximately by:

current. Assume 4A for this example. NC is 80 turns.

Where R11 is the sense resistor, and VCLAMP is the current
clamp at the inverting input of the PWM comparator. This
clamp is internally set to 5V. In actual application it is a
good idea to assume a value less than 5V to avoid
unwanted current limiting action due to component
tolerances. In this application VCLAMP was chosen as 4.8V.
Having calculated R11 the value SPWM and of R18 can
now be calculated:

VOLTAGE REGULATION COMPONENTS
The values of the voltage regulation loop components are
calculated based on the operating output voltage. Note
that voltage safety regulations require the use of sense
resistors that have adequate voltage rating. As a rule of
thumb if 1/4W through-hole resistors are used, two of
them should be put in series. The input bias current of the
error amplifier is approximately 0.5µA, therefore the
current available from the voltage sense resistors should
be significantly higher than this value. Since two 1/4W
resistors have to be used the total power rating is 1/2W.
The operating power is set to be 0.4W then with 380V
output voltage the value can be calculated as follows:
R5 = (380V)2 / 0.4W = 360kΩ
(17)
Choose two 178kΩ, 1% connected in series.
Then R6 can be calculated using the formula below:
R6
=
VREF × R5
VB − VREF
=
5V × 356kΩ
380V − 5V
=
4.747kΩ
(18)
Choose 4.75kΩ, 1%. One more critical component in the
voltage regulation loop is the feedback capacitor for the
error amplifier. The voltage loop bandwidth should be set
such that it rejects the 120Hz ripple which is present at
the output. If this ripple is not adequately attenuated it
will cause distortion on the input current waveform.
Typical bandwidths range anywhere from a few Hertz to
15Hz. The main compromise is between transient
response and distortion. The feedback capacitor can be
calculated using the following formula:
