LM5023: LM5023 POWER SUPPLY, Load regulation problem

Part Number: LM5023

Hi,

We are designing a LM5023 POWER SUPPLY, Output voltage decreased when increasing LOAD.

Find the below test results,

When we applying Input voltage Above 210Vac output voltage decreased.

Input: 84V -264 Vac 

Output: 24Vdc, 4.2A

Transformer destails,

L= 239uH, Primary : 40T, Sec= 7T , Aux= 4T

Find the attached schematic.

 Kindly suggest the to overcome this issue,

  • Hello,

    Do you think the design might be hitting cycle by cycle peak current limit.  Try reducing R13 and R14 to see if it resolves the issue.

    I would also recommend double checking your transformer turns ratio.
