GREEN MODE PWM CONTROLLER
Description
Pin Assignments
NEW PRODUCT
The AP3125B is a current mode PWM controller which is optimized
for high performance, low standby power and cost effective offline
flyback converters.
(Top View)
The PWM switching frequency at normal operation is internally fixed
(about 65kHz). In middle load, the IC will enter green mode to
improve system efficiency with the help of frequency foldback. A
minimum switching frequency (about 20kHz) is set to avoid the
audible noise. In no load or light load, the IC will enter the burst mode
to minimize standby power. Furthermore, the frequency dithering
function is built-in to reduce EMI emission.
Pin 1 Mark
Internal slope compensation allows more stable Peak-Current Mode
control over wide range of input voltage and load conditions. Internal
line compensation ensures constant output power limit over entire
universal line voltage range.
Comprehensive protection features are included, such as cycle-bycycle current limit (OCP), VCC Over Voltage Protection (VOVP),
internal OTP, Over Load Protection (OLP) and pins’ fault protection.
Built-in Brownout (BNO) and Line Over Voltage Protection (LOVP)
are also integrated in AP3125B.

AP3125B
Operation Description
The AP3125B is specifically designed for off-line AC-DC power
supply used in LCD monitor, notebook adapter and battery charger
applications. It offers a cost effective solution with a versatile
protection function.
Built-in Slope Compensation
It is well known that a continuous current mode SMPS may become
unstable when the duty cycle exceeds 50%. The built-in slope
compensation can improve the stability, so there is no need for
design engineer to spend much time on that.
NEW PRODUCT
Start-up Current and UVLO
The start-up current of AP3125B is optimized to realize ultra low
current (1A typical) so that VCC capacitor can be charged more
quickly. The direct benefit of low start-up current is the availability of
using large start-up resistor, which minimizes the resistor power
loss for high voltage AC input.
An UVLO comparator is included in AP3125B to detect the voltage
on VCC pin. It ensures that AP3125B can draw adequate energy
from hold-up capacitor during power-on. The turn-on threshold is
16V and the turn-off threshold is 7.6V.
FB Pin and Short Circuit Protection
This pin is normally connected to the opto-coupler and always
paralleled with a capacitor for loop compensation. When the voltage
at this pin is greater than 4.5V and lasts for about 70ms, the IC will
enter the protection mode. For AP3125B, the system will enter
hiccup mode to wait the VCC decreasing to low UVLO level, then the
IC will try to restart until the failure removed. And when this voltage
is less than 1.55V, the IC will stop the drive pulse immediately.
Therefore, this feature can be used for short circuit protection,
which makes the system immune from damage. Normally, output
short makes the VFB value to the maximum because the optocoupler is cut off.
Current Sense Comparator and PWM Latch
The AP3125B operates as a current mode controller, the output
switch conduction is initiated by every oscillator cycle and is
terminated when the peak inductor current reaches the threshold
level established by the FB pin. The inductor current signal is
converted to a voltage signal by inserting a reference sense resistor
RS. The inductor current under normal operating conditions is
controlled by the voltage at FB pin. The relation between peak
inductor current (IPK) and VFB is:
I PK  (VFB  0.8) / 3RS
Moreover, FOCP with 1.8V threshold is only about 100ns delay,
which can avoid some catastrophic damages such as secondary
rectifier short test. Few drive cycles can alleviate the destruction
range and get better protection.
Leading-edge Blanking
A narrow spike on the leading edge of the current waveform can
usually be observed when the power MOSFET is turned on. A
250ns leading-edge blank is built-in to prevent the false-triggering
caused by the turn-on spike. During this period, the current limit
comparator is disabled and the gate driver can not be switched off.
At the time of turning off the MOSFET, a negative undershoot
(maybe larger than -0.3V) can occur on the SENSE pin. So it is
strongly recommended to add a small RC filter or at least connect a
resistor “R” on this pin to protect the IC (Shown as Figure 1).

VCC Maintain Mode
During light load or step load, VFB will drop and be lower than 1.55V,
thus the PWM drive signal will be stopped, and there is no more
new energy transferred due to no switching. Therefore, the IC
supply voltage may reduce to the shutdown threshold voltage and
system may enter the unexpected restart mode. To avoid this, the
AP3125B hold a so-called VCC maintain mode which can supply
energy to VCC.
When VCC decreases to a setting threshold, the VCC maintain
comparator will output some drive signal to make the system switch
and provide a proper energy to VCC pin. The V CC maintain function
will cooperate with the PWM and burst mode loop which can make
the output voltage variation be within the regulation. This mode is
very useful for reducing startup resistor loss and achieving a better
standby performance with a low value VCC capacitor. The V CC is
not easy to touch the shutdown threshold during the startup process
and step load. This will also simplify the system design. The
minimum VCC voltage is suggested to be designed a little higher
than VCC maintain threshold thus can achieve the best balance
between the standby and step load performance。
System Protection and Pin Fault Protection
The AP3125B provides versatile system and pin fault protections.
The OCP comparator realizes the cycle-by-cycle current limiting
(OCP). In universal input line voltage, the IC realizes the constant
over load protection (OLP). VCC over voltage protection can be
applied as the primary OVP or opto-coupler broken protection. The
AP3125B also has pin fault connection protection including floating
and short connection. The floating pin protection includes the
SENSE, FB, etc. The short pin protection includes the CTRL pin
short protection. When these pins are floated or CTRL pin is
shorted to ground, PWM switching will be disabled, thus protecting
the power system.

Brownout Protection Function
To avoid potential high current stress at low line voltage, AP3125B
introduces reliable brownout protection. AC line voltage information
is sampled through a voltage divider net-work, adjusting the divider
ratio to achieve expected brownout protection voltage. A typical
0.1nFcapacitor is strongly recommended to parallel with BNO pin to
bypass any accidental spike in AC line for preventing false trigger.
When the voltage across BNO pin is higher than 0.95V and V CC
reaches UVLO/ON, the GATE pin will output drive signals. If the
BNO voltage falls below 0.9V and lasts for 50ms, the GATE pin will
turn off and the system will enter hiccup mode until the line voltage
rises over its brown-in voltage again.
Internal OTP Protection Function
The AP3125B integrates an internal temperature sensor. It has a
trigger window of +150°C enter and +125°C exit. The internal OTP
protection mode is auto-recovery mode.
