I have generated flyback convertor schematic by TI's [Webench Power Designer](https://webench.ti.com/power-designer/switching-regulator).
Parameters:
- universal AC input (85-265V AC)
- 5V, 2A output
- isolated
- UC3843A controller
Basically I understand flyback topology, but I do not understand the function of some components around voltage reference (LMV431 used there).
~~What are R21, C21, D21 for?~~
~~What are R22, C22, C23 for?~~
Just cut-out of the schematic:

Meaning of some components around voltage reference in SMPS

I have generated flyback convertor schematic by TI's [Webench Power Designer](https://webench.ti.com/power-designer/switching-regulator).  
Parameters:
- universal AC input (85-265V AC)
- 5V, 2A output
- isolated
- UC3843A controller

Basically I understand flyback topology, but I do not understand the function of some components around voltage reference (LMV431 used there).
