A20112 Power Supply Schematic [ Simple - FIX ]

Whether you are repairing a critical LED display or building a variable bench supply, keep a copy of the A20112 schematic handy. Better yet, trace your own board and annotate the schematic with actual measured voltages—that personalized document will be worth more than any generic diagram.

Apply an external 12V (current-limited) to the output. Measure TL431 Ref pin – should be 2.5V. If not, check R12/R13. Then check optocoupler LED voltage (should be ~1.1V). If both are fine, the optocoupler transistor side on the primary may be open. a20112 power supply schematic

Measure voltage across C4 (VCC pin of PWM IC). It should rise to 12–18V. If it stays below 10V, replace C4 and check R5 (startup resistor). If still low, the PWM IC may be shorted. Whether you are repairing a critical LED display

Measure across C1. You should see ~300V DC (for 230V AC). If zero, check F1, MOV1, DB1. Measure TL431 Ref pin – should be 2
