When
the switch TS7504 is closed, the input voltage is placed over winding 2-3 of
transformer 5500, which acts as coil L2-3 (refer the circuit diagram); Via resistors R3513,R3518
and R3512 the switch is turned on for the first time. Zener diode D6502
prevents that the Ugs of the FET becomes higher than 15V. When the input voltage is on winding 2-3, there is also a voltage on winding 1-2. Via winding
1-2 the correct switching voltage is obtained.
The DC-part of this voltage is blocked by capacitor C2503. Diode D6510
acts as a protection in start-up and in short-circuit situations. During
start-up the output capacitor C2515 is empty.
It takes a relative long time to charge the gate to a voltage high enough to switch on the FET. This is due to the fact the diode D6510 is conducting. When this diode is conducting, the current that would normally flow into the gate of the fet to switch on the FET, is now flowing into C2515. In this way a smooth start-up is guaranteed.

The
state of the power-supply can be divided into three areas:
=> T-on; In this state the FET is conducting and energy is stored in the coil and
in the output capacitor.
=> T-off; In this state the FET is non conducting and the energy stored in the coil is fed to the output capacitor.
=> T-dead; FET is out of conduction and there is no energy in the coil.
T-on; In the T-on state, switch TS7540 is switched on. When the switch is on the voltage over resistors R3514-R3515 is a direct measure for the current through winding 2-3. This is a negative voltage. When this voltage becomes below a certain level, TS7501 starts conducting and will switch off the FET. In this way it is prevented that the coil can go into saturation. This could be the case when the output voltage is very low. (Long on time of the FET). When the output-voltage becomes too high during T-on the FET will be switched off.
T-off; Due to the stored energy a current will start to flow through D6504, C2515 and winding 2-3. Due to the fact that the current is flowing through this circuit, a voltage with reverse polarity is on winding 1-2. In this way the FET remains off until the current through winding 2-3 reaches zero. Now a new cycle will start. The fet will be switched on and all starts over again.
T-dead; If the output voltage is too high (for example in a low load situation) the FET remains off till the output-voltage is not to high anymore.
=> T-off; In this state the FET is non conducting and the energy stored in the coil is fed to the output capacitor.
=> T-dead; FET is out of conduction and there is no energy in the coil.

Output voltage regulation
This is done by the circuit D6501, R3509, TS7502, R3505, R3507, R3510. Transistor TS7502 can only conduct when the voltage on the base is 0V7 lower than the voltage the voltage on the emitter. This means that the voltage drop over resistors R3505 and R3507 should be 5V6(zener diode) + 0V7(base-emitter). This is reached when the output voltage exceeds the 100V. Now transistor TS7502 starts conducting, which brings transistor TS7501 in conduction. As a consequence the gate voltage of the fet becomes very low and the fet stops conducting. As long as the output voltage is too high the FET stays out of conduction.
Over-voltage protection
A disadvantage of a down converter is that if the switch becomes a short-circuit, the output voltage will increase to the input voltage. This could damage circuits. In this power-supply there is a protection to prevent this. If the output voltage becomes higher than 130V, zener diode D6514 starts to conduct. The Vin will be short circuited. This will blown the main fuse 1501 and protect in this way all the other circuits.
Short-circuit and start-up protection
The short-circuit protection works the same as the start-up protection. If the output-voltage is very low in case of a start-up or a short-circuit condition, The gate will be charged very slowly due to the fact that zener diode D6510 is conducting. So the current is not only charging the gate but is also flowing into the output capacitor. In this way it takes a few milliseconds to switch on the FET. Diode D6510 takes also care that the FET never remains in his power consuming (linear) area.
Under-voltage protection
If the output voltage is very low, it also takes a large time before the current through winding 2-3 reaches zero. The power supplied to the circuit is in this way very low and protects in this way the circuit.
Other output voltages
The output voltages +8S, +9S and +5S are made by winding 5-6. During the time that the FET TS7504 is not conducting, energy is transformed to this winding (flyback principle) and the voltages mentioned above are created. From the +9S, the +5S voltage is derived. This voltage is stabilized by Transistors TS7505, TS7500 and zener diode D6500. D6500 is the reference voltage and TS7505 is delivering the current. When zener diode D6500 starts conducting, the voltage over resistor R3502 becomes high and a POR signal is created.
