THERMAL PARAMETERS

The STIL02 is connected in parallel with the bridge diode and the inrush power resistor Ri (fig. A2). During

start up, the two unidirectional ASD™ power switches of the STIL02 are opened. The inrush current flows

through the diodes of the bridge and the external inrush power resistor Ri. Since the main converter turns

ON, the auxiliary power supply coupled with the main transformer, supplies the energy required to close

the two power switches of the STIL02. At the normal state, the two bottom diodes of the bridge rectifier and

the two unidirectional switches of the STIL02 rectify the AC line current.

When the STIL02 is used with a PFC boost converter, the inrush current circuit remains active after a short

AC line dropout (see fig. A5). In that configuration, since the AC line disappears, the PFC controller and the

auxiliary power supply of the STIL turns OFF. The two switches of the STIL are opened. The output bulk

capacitor Cb is discharging and it is providing the energy to the main converter. When the AC line recovers,

the two switches remain opened and recharging inrush current of the capacitor Cb is deviated and limited

through the resistor Ri. When the capacitor is charged, the PFC turns ON again and the two switches of the

STIL switch ON.

More details on the design and operation of the driver circuit of figure A5 can be found in the application

note “AN1600 - STIL: Inrush Current Limitation Device for Off-Line Power Converter”.
