TL431: What's the difference between these 2 different TLA431 circuit?

Part Number: TL431

Hi Teams,

Hope you are doing well!

In SMPS feedback circuit, we have 2 different circuit connection for opto-coupler, what's the difference? If the pull-up resistor is necessary?

Marsh,

Thanks

  • Hello Marsh,

    The answer to this question is unrelated to the TL431. However, the configuration of a pull-up resistor will depend on the topology of your SMPS and the primary side PWM feedback controller used in your design. I recommend following the design guidelines of your particular controller.
