The TOP223P pulse width modulation ic is designed to work in switch mode power
supply (smps). It is mainly used in the audio/video electronic equipment. Computer
monitor rarely use this type of ic. In this article, I would like to share with you that not
all switch mode power transformer must use the combination of uc3842 and power or
chopper fet in order to function. SMPS designed are getting compact nowadays and
this TOP223P ic actually consisted of the oscillator circuit and power fet integrated
into it.
Thus, do not search for the
power fet at the
surrounding circuit. If you
look at the photo of this
Thompson DTH5008FEK
power supply, you could
notice that there are not
many components in the
primary section. What you
see are fuse, bridge
rectifier, filter capacitor,
top223p ic, optoisolator
and couples of diodes,
resistors and capacitors.
If this type of power supply breakdown, it would not take you much time to repair it.
Some TOP SWITCH IC have only three terminal but this type have 8 pins.
The secondary section consisted of fast recovery diodes, filter capacitor, coils and two
voltage regulator ic with the part number of PQ05RD11. Both ic are the general
purpose low power-loss voltage regulator with a 1 ampere output.
Normally a voltage regulator has 3 pins but this type have 4 pins. The extra pin is for
the on/off control functions. The pinouts functions for this ic are pin 1= DC input
(vin), pin 2= DC output (vout), pin 3= Ground and pin 4= on/off control terminal (vc).
It is important to know the specification of this type of ic if you want to be
successfully tackle the power supply problem. Here are the spec for this type of
family ic PQ03RD13 =3.3 volt output, PQ05RD11= 5 volt output, PQ09RD11= 9 volt
output and PQ012RD11=12 volt output.
By measuring the output of this ic pin, you will have a rough figure whether the
power supply is working or not. For example, when you put your meter’s red probe to
pin 2 of this PQ05RD11 ic with power on, you should expect a 5 volt. If the output
voltage has only 2-3 volts then suspect a low dc input voltage problem, a faulty
voltage regulator, a high esr ohm in filter capacitor or even bad components
somewhere further down the line.
Conclusion-Troubleshooting power supply that used the TOP223P ic or other family
type is very easy if you understand how power supply work and if you have the
schematic diagram of a particular equipment. Below is a schematic diagram of a 20
watt universal input power supply using the TOP224P ic. One word, make sure you
must know how to check all the electronic components before you repair it. If you are
not sure on how to test basic electronic components, I strongly recommend you to
