Do you have the ability to RoadTest Power Integrations TinySwitch-5 RDK-1016?

We're looking for a few members to RoadTest a product from power integrations.

Now, this is more of a 'reference design' than a 'demonstration kit', but we often receive requests from suppliers that are like this.

The product is:

26.5 W dual output isolated flyback power supply for appliances using TinySwitch-5 (TNY5073K)

Information and datasheets are available at: https://www.power.com/design-support/design-kits/rdk-1016-reference-design-kit 

With details about TinySwitch-5 at: https://www.power.com/products/tinyswitch/tinyswitch-5

We would likely be looking for a RoadTester that can put it through its paces and characteristics rather than plugging it in and saying "it works". This means we may deviate from our usual RoadTest of 'sign up and you may be selected' and instead go down the path of 'ok, two or three of you are selected and we'll see if we can also provide you with some parts that you need'. (We tend to call these RoadTest Plus or Special RoadTests).

    It's an interesting question - I selected that I have everything, but in reality, that very much depends on what is intended to be tested. I did a couple of Power Integrations RoadTests before ( RDR-928…

    In order to test this board comprehensively (rather than just use it) you need (rough guess) at least £50k worth of test gear (more if you want to measure radiated EMC).: AC power source Transient…

    I have roadtested a few PI boards this year but those roadtests are probably not at the level more experienced forum members can provide.

    Sometimes I think a rudimentary run through of its features and capabilities can be an adequate RoadTest rather than something crazily thorough.

    The challenge is gauging and aligning what we're asked to put through its paces versus finding someone that can do (any of) it Slight smile

    so - if the level of testing I am currently capable of would be sufficient I can continue collecting different PI reference designs if needed... I think I have everything needed - upgrading my lab to the level presented below would be too resource-consuming to be considered in any other way than possible future roadtests :)
