  • 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).  
  
What are R21, C21, D21 for?  
What are R22, C22, C23 for?
