Description of Schematic
Full-wave rectification is selected for AC line rectification.
For better EMI performance, X-cap (CX1), two fixed inductors instead of line filter (LF001), and Pi-type filter (C1, C2,
L1, L2, and R1) are selected.
For small standby power consumption, VCC is externally supplied from output voltage through D5 and R2.
C8 is used on the ILIMIT pin for better noise immunity.
Small SMD type (1 F) is used for VCC capacitor.
Coupled inductor is used for 3.3 V output without much loss on positive voltage regulator (U2).
