Product details
Overview
STEVAL-ISA121V1 from STMicroelectronics is a single-output 5 V / 3 A (15 W) demonstration board based on the VIPER37LE offline flyback controller-MOSFET IC, designed for auxiliary power supply in LCD/LED TVs and desktop computers during main PSU standby mode. It supports universal AC input (90–264 VAC), achieves <30 mW no-load consumption at 230 VAC, and delivers >75% average efficiency across load and line conditions.
For engineers reviewing the STEVAL-ISA121V1 datasheet, STEVAL-ISA121V1 application, STEVAL-ISA121V1 schematic, or STEVAL-ISA121V1 bill of materials, this board serves as a validated reference design for low-standby, EuP Lot 6–compliant auxiliary SMPS targeting USB port powering, remote control receivers, and always-on logic circuits in consumer electronics.
Technical Context
The board implements a fixed-frequency discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) flyback topology using the VIPER37LE's integrated 800 V avalanche-rugged MOSFET (RDS(on) ≤ 4.5 Ω) and PWM controller. Feedback is optocoupler-isolated via KB817A and regulated by TS431 shunt reference with precise 2.5 V reference voltage.
Protections include auto-restart overload, overvoltage, brownout, transformer saturation, shorted secondary rectifier detection, and hysteretic thermal shutdown - all implemented without external sensing components beyond standard passive elements and the VIPER37LE's internal monitoring circuitry.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the STEVAL-ISA121V1 board?
The STEVAL-ISA121V1 is a complete, tested 5 V / 3 A auxiliary power supply reference design. Its primary function is to deliver ultra-low standby power (<30 mW) while maintaining tight output regulation - specifically for powering always-on subsystems like IR receivers, USB charging ports, and network controllers when the main system PSU is off or in standby mode.
Does the board support automatic restart after fault conditions?
Yes. All protection mechanisms - including overload, overvoltage, brownout, transformer saturation, shorted secondary rectifier, and thermal faults - operate in auto-restart mode. After fault removal, the VIPER37LE automatically resumes switching within 1–2 seconds without requiring manual reset or external intervention.
Can the output voltage be adjusted to 3.3 V or 12 V?
No. The board is fixed at 5 V output by its feedback resistor divider (R10/R11), optocoupler gain, and TS431 reference configuration. Modifying output voltage requires redesigning the feedback network, adjusting transformer turns ratio, and revalidating all protections and efficiency - not supported out-of-box.
Is the STEVAL-ISA121V1 RoHS compliant and certified for EMC?
Yes. The board is RoHS compliant per EU Directive 2011/65/EU and has been tested to meet EN 55022 Class B limits for conducted and radiated emissions. Full test reports and layout documentation are included in the official ST reference design package (Doc ID 024066).
