Hi

I am doing offline flyback with Vout = 36V and 22W.

The following feedback scheme, using TL431 biased by a current source, appears to work fine on the simulator, and solves the problem of running too much current through a bias resistor to the TL431 during times of light load......

Though can you foresee any problems with this?

..since it seems too good to be true.


(i will replace the LT3092 current source with a cheaper LM334 in the real circuit......and ZR431L will be replaced by the higher voltage rated ZR431)
