The TNY278PN comes in an 8-pin DIP (Dual In-line Package). The pin functions are as follows:
1. BP/M (Bypass/Multi-Function): Connects to an external bypass capacitor to stabilize the internal supply voltage and can also be used for line undervoltage, overvoltage, and external current limit settings.
2. D (Drain): This is the high-voltage power MOSFET drain connection, which is connected to the primary winding of the transformer.
3. S (Source): This is the power MOSFET source connection, which acts as a return path for the power switch’s current.
4. EN/UV (Enable/Undervoltage): This pin is used to enable or disable the power MOSFET based on the input conditions. It can also be used to implement line undervoltage protection.
Multiple pins may be tied together for specific functional configurations, such as increased power capability or enhanced thermal performance.
