Hello,
Due to defects in the 431 series of materials used by other suppliers, the PSU will not start.
The specific phenomenon as follows
Phenomenon description:
When the PSU turned on for the first time, after the 431 R pole voltage rises to a certain value (this value is significantly lower than the Vref), K-A is turned on, producing a large current, which causes the PSU can't turn on. Therefore, Zener must be connected in series to limit the large current generated at this moment.
Please help confirm:
The following 2 questions of TI ATL432LI
1. Whether this material has the defects similar to the above.
2. Can this material be used without series Zener.
Thank you and best regards
Rock Shao
