The EVLVIPGAN100PD from STMicroelectronics is a 100 W USB Power Delivery (PD) 3.0 reference design for a USB Type-C^® power adapter. 

It is an isolated power supply with a stand-alone USB PD controller. The evaluation board implements, at the primary side, a quasi-resonant flyback converter based on the ST VIPERGAN100, high-voltage flyback converter with optocoupler feedback for voltage regulation and a high-voltage gallium nitride (GaN) power switch. 

The converter combines a high-performance, low-voltage PWM controller chip with a 650 V start-up cell in a single package. The reference design achieves low standby power consumption thanks to the VIPERGAN100’s advanced power management and low quiescent current. 

To reduce the input mains current distortion, a power factor correction circuit based on the L6564 controller IC is used. At the secondary side, to increase system efficiency, rectification is based on the SRK1001 adaptive synchronous rectification controller.

The reference design also includes an STUSB4761 controller, which offers the benefits of a full hardware USB PD stack, allowing for robust, deterministic, and safe negotiation in line with USB PD standards.
