The voltage regulator IC is a TL431, with its anode grounded and its cathode connected to the reference terminal of LED PC1A, which is connected to a resistor divider network composed of resistors R27 and R28 in parallel. A resistor R25 is connected in parallel across LED PC1A. The phototransistor PC1B is connected to pin 2 of chip U1 through resistor R19. The low-voltage side feedback circuit (TL4...) The 31 reference source voltage regulator IC detects changes in the output voltage and generates an electrical signal corresponding to the voltage deviation. This signal drives the light-emitting diode PC1A (primary side) of the optocoupler, causing its light intensity to change with the voltage deviation.
