TOPSwitch-jx and auxiliary coil in no load

Hello,

I wish to design an offline TOPSwitch-jx Flyback SMPS which can draw < 500mW in no-load.
I wish to take advantage of the topswitch-jx multi-cycle-mode to achieve this.

however, as described on page 19 of this literature..........

http://www.onsemi.com/pub_link/Collateral/NCP1028-D.PDF
(LHS of page 19, 1/2 way down)

"Self-supplying controllers in extremely low standby
applications often puzzles the designer. Actually, if a
SMPS operated at nominal load can deliver an auxiliary
voltage of an arbitrary 16 V (Vnom), this voltage can drop
below 10 V (Vstby) when entering standby. This is because
the recurrence of the switching pulses expands so much that
the low frequency re-fueling rate of the VCC capacitor is
not enough to keep a proper auxiliary voltage."

Have you specific powerint.com application notes where you address this drop-out of the auxiliary coil voltage?

It is not a problem with our designs especially if the bias winding is wound with tight coupling with the secondary winding. Our TOPSwitches are powered via the optocoupler feedback. The range on the bias supply can be from 6.5V to >30V (that's a 5:1 range), over the PSU load range and it will work.

Pls. browse our HX and JX design examples and look at their zero load performance.
