Hi Team,

I saw the reference design with LM5156 (PSR Flyback)

There is p-ch Tr from SS to COMP, what's the purpose? (discharging comp during soft start?)

What type/condition should we choose this Tr?

Hi,

Thank you for your reply. The PNP bipolar transistor is to pull down the comp and therefore limit the duty cycle during start up. As anyway this answer was already given to you via email, I will now close the thread.

Kind regards,
EM
