Thermal Considerations
The four SOURCE pins are internally connected to the IC lead
frame and provide the main path to remove heat from the device.
Therefore all the SOURCE pins should be connected to a copper
area underneath the TinySwitch-III to act not only as a single
point ground, but also as a heatsink. As this area is connected
to the quiet source node, this area should be maximized for
good heatsinking. Similarly for axial output diodes, maximize
the PCB area connected to the cathode.
Y-Capacitor
The placement of the Y-capacitor should be directly from the
primary input filter capacitor positive terminal to the common/
return terminal of the transformer secondary. Such a placement
will route high magnitude common mode surge currents away
from the TinySwitch-III device. Note – if an input π (C, L, C)
EMI filter is used then the inductor in the filter should be placed
between the negative terminals of the input filter capacitors.

Optocoupler
Place the optocoupler physically close to the TinySwitch-III
to minimizing the primary-side trace lengths. Keep the high
current, high voltage drain and clamp traces away from the
optocoupler to prevent noise pick up.
Output Diode
For best performance, the area of the loop connecting the
secondary winding, the output diode and the output filter
capacitor, should be minimized. In addition, sufficient copper
area should be provided at the anode and cathode terminals
of the diode for heatsinking. A larger area is preferred at the
quiet cathode terminal. A large anode area can increase high
frequency radiated EMI.
