link to page 10 TSM1012Principle of operation and application hints6.3Start-up and short-circuit conditions Under start-up or short-circuit conditions the TSM1012 device is not provided with a high enough supply voltage. This is due to the fact that the chip has its power supply line in common with the power supply line of the system. Therefore, the current limitation can only be ensured by the primary PWM module, which should be chosen accordingly. If the primary current limitation is considered not to be precise enough for the application, then a sufficient supply for the TSM1012 device has to be ensured under any condition. It would then be necessary to add some circuitry to supply the chip with a separate power line. This can be achieved in numerous ways, including an additional winding on the transformer. 6.4 Voltageclamp Figure 6 shows how to realize a low-cost power supply for the TSM1012 device (with no additional windings). Please pay attention to the fact that in the particular case presented here, this low-cost power supply can reach voltages as high as twice the voltage of the regulated line. Since the absolute maximum rating of the TSM1012 supply voltage is 28 V. In the aim to protect he TSM1012 device against such high voltage values an internal Zener clamp is integrated.
