Part 6: Modifying the A20112 Schematic for Custom Voltage
Because the A20112 uses a TL431 feedback network, you can modify the output voltage within 20% safely. a20112 power supply schematic
11. Troubleshooting Guide
- No output: check fuse, bridge, bulk cap voltage, controller Vcc/startup.
- Output low or unstable: inspect feedback network, TL431 reference, optocoupler, compensation.
- High ripple: check output caps ESR, diode conduction, switching node waveform.
- Overheating: check component sizing, airflow, shorted traces.
- EMI problems: add snubbers, relocate noisy traces, add common-mode choke.
4. Feedback Loop (Voltage Regulation)
- Components: Optocoupler (Opto-isolator) and a Shunt Regulator (like the TL431).
- Importance: This is crucial for stable voltage. If the output voltage drifts, the feedback circuit tells the input stage to adjust the duty cycle. A faulty optocoupler is a common cause of unstable voltages.

5.2 Adding Current Limiting
Insert a low-value sense resistor on the output return path and use an op-amp to feed back into the optocoupler. Refer to the schematic’s primary-side current sensing as a model. A very specific request
Optocoupler: Sends a signal from the secondary side back to the primary controller while maintaining isolation. No output: check fuse, bridge, bulk cap voltage,
Part 7: FAQ – A20112 Power Supply Schematic
Q1: Is the A20112 power supply isolated?
Yes. The flyback transformer provides 3kV isolation between primary and secondary. The schematic clearly shows a physical gap between optocoupler pins and transformer windings.
