High-Voltage, Quasi-Resonant Controller featuring Valley Lockout

NCP1339
High-Voltage, QuasiResonant Controller
featuring Valley Lock-Out
and Power Saving Mode
The NCP1339 is a highly integrated quasi−resonant flyback
controller capable of controlling rugged and high−performance
off−line power supplies as required by adapter applications. With an
integrated active X−cap discharge feature and power savings mode,
the NCP1339 can enable no−load power consumption below 10 mW
for 45 W notebook adapters.
The quasi−resonant current−mode flyback stage features a
proprietary valley−lockout circuitry, ensuring stable valley switching.
This system works down to the 6th valley and toggles to a frequency
foldback mode to eliminate switching losses. When the loop tends to
force below 25−kHz frequencies, the NCP1339 skips cycles to contain
the power delivery.
To help build rugged converters, the controller features several key
protective features: an internal brown−out, a non−dissipative Over
Power Protection for a constant maximum output current regardless of
the input voltage, a latched over−voltage protection through a
dedicated pin.

2
REM
The part operates when the REM pin is forced lower than a certain level and enters the Power Savings
Mode (PSM) otherwise.
3
OPP
A resistive divider from the auxiliary winding to this pin sets the OPP compensation level.
4
ZCD
Input to the demagnetization detection comparator for the QR Flyback controller.
5
Fault
The controller enters fault mode if the voltage of this pin is pulled above or below the fault thresholds. A precise pull up current source allows direct interface with an NTC thermistor. Fault detection triggers a latch.
6
FB
Feedback input for the QR Flyback controller. Allows direct connection to an optocoupler.
7
CS
Input to the cycle−by−cycle current limit comparator for the QR Flyback section.
8
GND
Ground reference.
9
DRV
This is the drive pin of the circuit. The DRV high−current capability (−0.5 /+0.8 A) makes it suitable to effectively drive high gate charge power MOSFETs.
10
VCC
This pin is the positive supply of the IC. The circuit starts to operate when VCC exceeds 15 V and turns off
when VCC goes below 9 V (typical values). After start−up, the operating range is 10 V up to 28 V. An OVP
comparator monitors this pin and offers a means to latch the converter in fault conditions.

Function
When the voltage on this pin disappears, the controller ensures the X2−capacitors discharge.
Removed for creepage distance.
HV
This pin provides a charging current during start−up and auto−recovery faults but also a means to efficiently
discharge the input X2 capacitors.

NCP1339
DETAILED OPERATING DESCRIPTION
Introduction
The NCP1339 implements a standard quasi−resonant
current−mode architecture. This component represents the
ideal candidate where low part−count and cost effectiveness
are the key parameters, particularly in low−cost ac−dc
adapters, open−frame power supplies etc. The NCP1339
brings all the necessary components normally needed in
modern power supply designs, bringing several
enhancements such as non−dissipative OPP, brown−out
protection or sophisticated frequency reduction
management for an optimized efficiency over the power
range. Accounting for the new needs of extremely low
standby power requirements, the part includes an automatic
X2−capacitor discharge circuitry which can save the
power−consuming resistors otherwise needed across the
front−end filtering capacitors. The controller is also able to
enter Power Savings Mode (PSM) that is, a deep sleep mode
via its dedicated remote (“REM”) pin.
• High−Voltage start−up: low standby power results
cannot be obtained with the classical resistive start−up
network. In this part, a high−voltage current−source
provides the necessary current at start−up and turns off
afterwards.
• Internal Brown−Out protection: the bulk voltage is
internally sensed via the high−voltage pin monitoring
(pin 14). When Vpin14 is too low, the part stops pulsing.
No re−start attempt is made until Vpin14 recovers its
normal range. At that moment, the brown−out
comparator sends a general reset to the controller
(de−latch occurs) and authorizes to re−start.
• X2−capacitors discharge capability: per IEC−950
standard, the time constant of the front−end filter
capacitors and their associated discharge resistors must
be less than 1 s. This is to avoid electrical stress when
users unplug the converter and inadvertently touch the
power cord terminals. The circuitry for discharging the
X2 capacitors can save the need for discharge resistors,
helping to further save power.
• PSM control: a dedicated pin allows the IC to enter a
deep sleep mode when the REM input pin is brought
above a certain level. This option offers an efficient
means to operate the adapter in a power savings mode
and draw the least input power from the mains in this
mode. When the REM is actively pulled down via a
dedicated optocoupler, the adapter immediately
re−starts. The component that controls PSM is then
active in normal operation (active−ON) and OFF in
PSM (wasting no energy).
• Quasi−resonant, current−mode operation: QR operation
is an efficient mode where the MOSFET turns on when
its drain−source is at the minimum (valley). However,
at light load, the switching frequency tends to get high.
The NCP1339 valley lock−out and frequency foldback

technique eliminate this drawback so that the efficiency
remains at the highest over the power range.
Valley Lockout: a continuous flow of pulses is not
compatible with no−load/light−load standby power
requirements. To excel in this domain, the controller
observes the feedback pin voltage (FB) and when it
reaches a level of 1.4 V, the circuit enters a valley
lockout mode where the circuit skips a valley. If FB
further decreases, more valleys are skipped until 6th
valley is reached.
Frequency Fold−back: if FB continues declining and
reaches 0.8 V, the current setpoint is frozen to Vfreeze
and the circuit regulates by modulating the switching
frequency until it reaches 25 kHz (typically).
Skip cycle: to avoid acoustic noise, the circuit prevents
the switching frequency from decaying below 25 kHz.
Instead, the circuit contains the power delivery by
entering skip cycle mode when the system would
otherwise need to further lower the switching frequency
below 25 kHz.
Internal OPP (Over Power Protection): by routing a
portion of the negative voltage present during the
on−time on the auxiliary winding to the OPP pin
(pin 3), the user has a simple and non−dissipative
means to alter the maximum current setpoint as the bulk
voltage increases. If the pin is grounded, no OPP
compensation occurs.
Internal soft−start: a 4−ms soft−start precludes the main
power switch from being stressed upon start−up. It is
activated whenever a startup sequence occurs including
autorecovery hiccup.
Fault input: the NCP1339 includes a dedicated fault
input (pin 5). It can be used to sense an overvoltage
condition and latch off the controller by pulling up the
pin above the upper fault threshold, VFault(OVP),
typically 3.0 V. The controller is also disabled if the
Fault pin voltage, VFault, is pulled below the lower fault
threshold, VFault(OTP_in), typically 0.4 V. The lower
threshold is normally used for detecting an
overtemperature fault (by the means of an NTC).
Short−circuit/Overload protection: short−circuit and
especially overload protections are difficult to
implement when a strong leakage inductance between
auxiliary and power windings affects the transformer
(the aux winding level does not properly collapse in
presence of an output short). Here, every time the
internal 0.8−V maximum peak current limit is activated
(or less when OPP is used), an error flag is asserted and
a 160−ms timer begins counting. When the timer has
elapsed, the fault is validated. An internal timer keeps
the pulses off for 2 s typically which, associated to the
160−ms pulsing re−try period, ensures a duty−cycle in

• X2 capacitor discharge: when circuit X2 pin detects
fault mode of 10%, independent from the line level. As
soon as the fault disappears, the SMPS resumes
operation. Please note that some versions (C, G and H)
offer an auto−recovery mode as we just described,
versions D, E and F do not and latch off in case of a
short circuit.
that the power supply is no more powered, the start−up
current source turns on to discharge the X2 capacitors.
Because of this last feature, it is firmly recommended to wire
it according to Figure 43 sketch. The HV pin is not
connected to the bulk voltage but directly to the line terminals
through diodes (D1 and D2 of Figure 43). It is further
recommended to implement one or two 2.2−kW resistors to
reduce the noise that can be picked−up by the HV pin.
HV Current Source Pin
The NCP1339 HV circuitry provides three features:
• Start−up current source to charge the VCC capacitor at
start−up.
• Brown−out protection: when the HV pin voltage is
below 93 V for the 50−ms blanking time, the NCP1339
stops operating and recovers when the HV pin voltage
exceeds 101 V (typical values)

Start−up Sequence:
When VCC exceeds VCC(inhibit), a 10−mA current (IC2) is
provided that charges the VCC capacitor.
The VCC charging time is then the total of the two
following durations:
• Charge from 0 V to VCC(inhibit):
The start−up time of a power supply largely depends on
the time necessary to charge the VCC capacitor to the
controller VCC start−up threshold (VCC(on) which is 15 V
typically). The NCP1339 high−voltage current−source
provides the necessary current for a prompt start−up and
turns off afterwards. The delivered current (IC1) is reduced
to less than 500 mA when the VCC voltage is below
VCC(inhibit) (1 V typically). This feature reduces the die
stress if the VCC pin happens to be accidentally grounded.

Short−circuit Protection Implemented on the HV Source
standby power, the external network adds a consumption
burden and deteriorates the standby power performance of
the power supply. Owing to its proprietary high−voltage
technology, ON Semiconductor now offers onboard line
sensing without using an external sensing network. The
brown−out thresholds are fixed (101 V line rising, 93 V
falling, typically). Respectively correponding to about 72 V
rms and 66 V rms, these levels are designed to fit most of
standard ac−dc converter applications. The simplified
internal schematic appears in Figure 45 while typical
operating waveforms are drawn in Figure 46.
If the VCC capacitor is first dimensioned to supply the
controller for the traditional 5 to 50 ms until the auxiliary
winding takes over, no−load standby requirements usually
cause it to be larger. The HV start−up current source is then
a key feature since it allows keeping short start−up times
with large VCC capacitors (the total start−up sequence
duration is often required to be less than 1 s).
Brown−out Circuitry
For the vast majority of controllers, input line sensing is
performed via a resistive network monitoring the bulk
voltage or the incoming ac signal. When in the quest of low

Figure 45. Simplified View of the Brown−out Circuitry
Please note that the HV start−up current is not reduced for
the time when VCC is below VCC(inhibit) (as it happens when
the power supply is first plugged in) not to delay the power
supply recovery.
If a brown−out event occurs during the Vcc capacitor
charge phase, the start−up phase is interrupted but the Vcc
pin is not grounded to make a fresh restart. The start−up
resumes as soon as the line recovers (terminating the
brown−out situation).
When the HV pin voltage drops below the VBO(stop)
threshold (93 V typically) for more than the 50−ms blanking
time (TBO(stop)), the brown−out protection trips: the
controller stops generating DRV pulses and maintains Vcc to
the 5.5−V VCC(bias) level. This state is maintained by the
high−voltage current−source until the input voltage happens
to exceed the brown−out upper threshold (VBO(start) that is
101 V typically). At that moment, the controller briefly
grounds the Vcc capacitor to make a fresh start−up sequence
with soft−start.

X2 Discharge Circuitry
The NCP1339 X2 discharge circuitry in Figure 47 uses a
dedicated pin (X2) together with an external charge
pump−based sensing network to detect the presence or the
absence of the mains. Owing to this simple external source,
the X2 circuitry is independent from the rest of the controller
that can be fully disabled in the off mode. A 100−ms timeout
D1
block makes sure the X2 discharge switch is only activated
upon a real mains loss (when the user unplugs the converter)
and not when a parasitic ac line dropout occurs. The internal
Vcc discharge switch is activated once the X2 timer elapses.
At that moment, the HV startup current source is enabled
and pumps out the energy stored by the X2 capacitors.

Figure 47. Simplified Block Diagram of X2 Capacitor Discharge Circuitry
An over temperature protection block monitors the
junction temperature during the discharge process and
avoids thermal runaway, in particular during open/short pins
safety tests. Please note that the X2 discharge capability is
also active during off−mode but also before the controller
actually starts to pulse (e.g. if the user unplugs the converter
during the start−up sequence).
introduce a time constant that prevents the converter from
entering the off mode immediately, in case spurious noise
would appear on the opto LED bias current. When the
voltage across C2 eventually reaches 8 V, the controller
enters the off mode. In the absence of pulses, the auxiliary
no longer maintains Vcc that slowly vanishes to 0. At this
moment, the X2 monitoring circuit is the only living block
and the IC power consumption is reduced to an extremely
low level. The voltage on the REM pin starts to fall. When
it reaches the re−start level (1.5 V), the controller resumes
operation and initiates a fresh start−up sequence. If no
secondary−side signal appears to bias the optocoupler LED,
a new self−relaxing cycle takes place when the REM pin
voltage reaches 8 V. If a secondary−side signal biases
optocoupler before the REM pin voltage has reached 8 V, the
power supply operates normally.
Power Savings Mode
The NCP1339 features a dedicated input (remote pin) that
allows the user to activate an ultra−low consumption mode.
Figure 48 describes the internal arrangement of the remote
circuitry. In normal operation, the optocoupler is biased
from the secondary side and pulls the remote pin to ground.
When the secondary−side circuitry decides to release the
optocoupler, the remote pin level starts to grow. It is lifted
up by R1 connected to the auxiliary Vcc. C3 , R1 and R2

Neglecting the resistor voltage drop, the OVP threshold is

In summary, the REM pin works as follows:
• When pulled below a certain level (V_REM_on, 1.5 V
typical), the power supply operates normally. As
capacitors are connected to this pin, it is important to
discharge them properly during the start−up sequence.
A 100−ms timer performs this function by pulling the
pin to ground. It is operating in any re−start conditions
(brown−out recovery, short−circuit, latch reset and so
on) except in the self−relaxing PSM mode ( during
which the voltage on the pin swings up and down.
• When brought above a certain level (V_REM_off, 8 V
typical), the power supply stops working. In the
absence of an external bias, the remote pin starts to
drop at a pace imposed by the various time constants
around it. During this mode, despite the absence of Vcc,
the X2 discharge circuitry remains active and monitors
the ac input line.
V AUX(OVP) + V Z ) V Fault(OVP),
(eq. 4)
where VZ is the Zener diode voltage.
The controller can also be latched off if the Fault pin
voltage, VFault, is pulled below the lower fault threshold,
VFault(OTP_in), typically 0.4 V. This capability is normally
used for detecting an overtemperature fault by means of an
NTC thermistor. A pull up current source IFault(OTP),
(typically 45.5 mA) generates a voltage drop across the
thermistor. The resistance of the NTC thermistor decreases
at higher temperatures resulting in a lower voltage across the
thermistor. The controller detects a fault once the thermistor
voltage drops below VFault(OTP_in).
The circuit detects an overtemperature situation when:
R NTC @ I Fault(OTP) + V Fault(OTP).
(eq. 5)
Hence, the OTP protection trips when
Fault Input
The NCP1339 includes a dedicated fault input accessible
via the Fault pin. Figure 49 shows the architecture of the
Fault input. The controller can be latched by pulling up the
pin above the upper fault threshold, VFault(OVP), typically
3.0 V. An active clamp prevents the Fault pin voltage from
reaching the VFault(OVP) if the pin is open. To reach the upper
threshold, the external pull−up current has to be higher than
the pull−down capability of the clamp (set by RFault(clamp) at
VFault(clamp)), i.e., approximately 1 mA.
This function is typically used to detect a VCC or auxiliary
winding overvoltage by means of a Zener diode generally in
series with a small resistor (see Figure 49).

V Fault(OTP)

that is 8.8 kohms typically.
The controller bias current is reduced during power up by
disabling most of the circuit blocks including IFault(OTP).
This current source is enabled once VCC reaches VCC(on). A
bypass capacitor is usually connected between the Fault and
GND pins. It will take some time for VFault to reach its steady
state value once IFault(OTP) is enabled. Therefore, the lower
fault comparator (i.e. overtemperature detection) is ignored
during soft−start.

Timeout
As a matter of fact, the controller operates normally while
the Fault pin voltage is maintained within the upper and
lower fault thresholds. Upper and lower fault detector have
blanking delays to prevent noise from triggering them. Both
blanking timers (tdelay(Fault_OVP) and tdelay(Fault_OTP)) are
typically 27.5 ms.
When the part is latched−off, the drive is immediately
turned off. Also, VCC drops and stabilize to the 5.5−V
VCC(bias) level. The power supply needs to be un−plugged to
reset the part as a result of a BONOK (BO fault condition)
and/or the X2 circuitry activation.
PSM mode cannot be triggered in latched−off mode.
The ZCD block actually detects falling edges of the
auxiliary winding voltage applied to the ZCD pin. At
start−up or other transient phases, the ZCD comparator may
be unable to detect such an event. Also, in the case of
extremely damped oscillations, the system may not succeed
in detecting all the valleys required by VLO operation (see
next section). In this condition, the NCP1339 ensures
continued operation by incorporating a maximum timeout
period that resets when a demagnetization phase is detected.
The timeout signal substitutes ZCD signal for the valley
counter. Figure 50 shows the timeout period generator
circuit schematic. The steady state timeout period, t(out2), is
set at 6 ms.
During startup, the output voltage is still low leading to
long demagnetization phases difficult to detect since the
auxiliary winding voltage is small as well. In this condition,
the 6−ms steady−state timeout is generally shorter than the
inductor demagnetization period and if used to restart a
switching cycle, it can cause continuous current mode
(CCM) operation for few cycles until the voltage on the ZCD
pin is high enough for proper valleys detection. A longer
timeout period, t(out1), (typically 100 ms) is therefore set
during soft−start to prevent CCM operation.
In VLO operation, the timeout periods of time are counted
instead of valleys when the drain−source voltage
oscillations are too damped to be detected. For instance, if
the circuit must turn on at the fifth valley and if the ZCD
ringing only enables to detect:
• Valleys 1 to 4: the circuit generates a DRV pulse 6 ms
(steady−state timeout delay) after valley 4 detection.
• Valleys 1 to 3: the timeout delay must run twice so that
the circuit generates a DRV pulse 12 ms after valley 3
detection.
Zero Current Detection
The NCP1339 integrates a quasi−resonant (QR) flyback
controller. The power switch turn−off of a QR converter is
determined by the peak current set by the feedback loop. The
switch turn−on is determined by the transformer
demagnetization. The demagnetization is detected by
monitoring the transformer auxiliary winding voltage.
Turning on the power switch once the transformer is
demagnetized or reset reduces switching losses. Once the
transformer is demagnetized, the drain voltage starts ringing
at a frequency determined by the transformer magnetizing
inductance and the drain lump capacitance eventually
settling at the input voltage. A QR controller takes
advantage of the drain voltage ringing and turns on the
power switch at the drain voltage minimum or “valley” to
reduce switching losses and electromagnetic interference
(EMI).
As sketched by Figure 50, a valley is detected once the
ZCD pin voltage falls below the QR flyback
demagnetization threshold, VZCD(th), typically 55 mV. The
controller will switch once the valley is detected or
increment the valley counter depending on FB voltage.

Figure 50. Valley Lockout Detection Circuitry Internal Schematic
Valley Lockout (VLO) and Frequency Foldback (FF)
extends QR operation over a wider output power range
while maintaining good efficiency and limiting the
maximum operating frequency.
The operating valley (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th) is
determined by the FB voltage. As VFB decreases or
increases, the valley comparators toggle one after another to
select the proper valley. The decimal counter increases each
time a valley is detected. The activation of an “n” valley
comparator blanks the “n−1” or “n+1” valley comparator
output depending if VFB decreases or increases,
respectively. Figure 51 shows a typical frequency
characteristic obtainable at low line in a 60−W application.
The operating frequency of a traditional QR flyback
controller is inversely proportional to the system load. In
other words, a load reduction increases the operating
frequency. A maximum frequency clamp can be useful to
limit the operating frequency range. However such an
approach causes instabilities since when this clamp is active,
the controller tends to jump (or hesitate) between two
valleys generating audible noise.
Instead, the NCP1339 incorporates a patent pending
valley lockout circuitry to eliminate valley jumping. Once a
valley is selected, the controller stays locked in this valley
until the output power changes significantly. This technique

When an “n” valley is asserted by the valley selection
circuitry, the controller is locked in this valley until the FB
voltage decreases to the lower threshold (“n+1” valley
activates) or increases to the “n valley threshold” + 600 mV
(“n−1” valley activates). The regulation loop adjusts the
peak current to deliver the necessary output power. Each
valley selection comparator features a 600−mV hysteresis
that helps stabilize operation despite the FB voltage swing
produced by regulation loop.

Figure 52 summarizes the operation mode with respect to
the FB voltage.
As the output load decreases (FB voltage decreases), the
valleys are incremented from 1 to 6. If when the sixth valley
is reached, the FB voltage further decreases below 0.8 V, the
controller enters the frequency foldback mode (FF). The
current setpoint being internally forced to remain above
0.2 V (setpoint corresponding to VFB = 0.8 V), the controller
regulates the power delivery by modulating the switching
frequency. When a load increase causes FB to exceed the
1−V FF upper threshold (200−mV hysteresis), the circuit
recovers VLO operation.
In frequency foldback mode, the system reduces the
switching frequency by adding some dead−time after the 6th
valley is detected. This dead−time increases when the FB
voltage decays. There is no discontinuity when the system
transitions from VLO to FF and the frequency smoothly
reduces as FB goes below 0.8 V.
The dead−time is dimensioned to generate a 2−ms
dead−time when VFB = 0.8 V and could linearly go to
virtually infinity as VFB falls down to 0.4 V if the switching
was not forced to keep above 25−kHz to eliminate risk of
audible noise.
25−kHz Frequency Clamp and Skip Mode
As aforementioned, the circuit prevents the switching
frequency from dropping below 25 kHz. When the
switching cycle is longer than 40 ms, the circuit forces a new
switching cycle. However, the 25−kHz frequency clamp
cannot generate a DRV pulse until the demagnetization is
completed. In other words, it cannot cause operation in
continuous conduction mode.
Since the NCP1339 forces a minimum peak current (as
aforementioned, the circuit prevents the peak current from
dropping below (0.2 V/RSENSE) where RSENSE is the
current sense resistor) and a minimum frequency (25 kHz
typically), the power delivery cannot be continuously
controlled down to zero. Instead, the circuit stops pulsing
when the FB voltage drops below 400 mV and recovers
operation when VFB exceeds 450 mV (50−mV hysteresis).
This skip−mode method provides an efficient power control
in light load.

Over Power Compensation (OPP)
Instead, the auxiliary winding voltage (VAUX) is used.
During power−switch on−time, VAUX provides a negative
voltage that is a Vbulk portion (input voltage scaled down by
the primary to auxiliary winding turns ratio) as shown in
Figure 53. The negative voltage applied to the pin is referred
as VOPP. The maximum internal current setpoint (VCS(OPP))
is the sum of VOPP and peak current sense threshold, VILIM1.
The current setpoint is calculated using Equation 7.
The power delivered by a QR flyback stage is an
increasing function of the bulk voltage, Vbulk. It is however
desirable to clamp the power delivery to limit the stress on
the power components that can otherwise be excessive
during transient or fault conditions.
An integrated overpower circuit provides a relatively
constant output power across bulk voltage, Vbulk.
Practically, the maximum peak current is made a decreasing
function of the bulk voltage. The direct measure of the Vbulk
high−voltage rail would cause losses in the sensing network
and hence alter the standby efficiency.

For example, (VOPP = −0.25 V) results in a current

of −200 mV at the highest line level. Refer to application
notes for more details.
even if the OPP pin is adversely biased above 0 V, the current
setpoint remains clamped to 0.8 V typically.
For optimum performance over temperature, we

Current Setpoint
As explained in this operating description, the current
setpoint is affected by several functions. Figure 54
summarizes these interactions. As shown by this figure, the
current setpoint is FB/4. However, this value is limited by
the following functions:
• This level is clamped during the soft−start phase. The
setpoint is actually limited by a clamp level ramping
from 0 to 0.8 V within 4 ms.
• It is also limited by the OPP function: during the
on−time, a negative voltage is applied to the OPP pin.
This voltage is summed with a 0.8−V voltage reference
to form the actual maximum setpoint (see OPP section).
The OPP pin is not designed to operate below –250 mV
which corresponds to a 31.25% decrease of the maximum
current limit. If a lower voltage happens to be applied, the
internal ESD diode that clamps OPP pin negative voltages
may turn on and lead to carriers injection within the die. To
avoid possible resulting disturbance, care must be taken to
limit the current sourced by the diode below 2 mA. If the
circuitry of Figure 54 is used, a conservative condition is:

It must be noted that the OPP pin voltage is high during
the off−time. The summer is designed to face this
situation without degradation of the circuitry.
A minimum setpoint is forced that equals to Vfreeze
(0.2 V, typically).
In addition, a second OCP comparator ensures that in
any case the current setpoint is limited to 0.8 V. This

prevents the over−current limit from being increased
due to the OPP function if a positive voltage is
accidentally applied during the on−time. Hence, even in
this faulty condition, the MOSFET current setpoint
remains limited to VILIM1 (0.8 V typically).

Figure 54. Current Setpoint
Current Sense and Associated Protections
The Maximum Peak Current Comparator compares the
current sense signal to a reference voltage to limit the
maximum peak current of the system. The maximum peak
current reference voltage, VILIM1, is typically 0.8 V. The
maximum peak current setpoint is reduced by the overpower
compensation (OPP) circuitry. In case, a wrong OPP signal
is applied to the circuit, a second comparator to VILIM1 is
placed to get sure that the current setpoint is at least limited
to VILIM1. An overload condition causes the output of one of
the Maximum Peak Current Comparators to transition high
and enable the overload timer. Figure 55 shows the
implementation of the current sensing circuitry.
The feedback voltage (VFB) is internally divided by KFB
(KFB=4, typically) to form the current setpoint. The power
switch on time is modulated by comparing a ramp
proportional to the switch current to VFB/KFB using the
PWM Comparator. The switch current is sensed across a
current sense resistor, RSENSE and the resulting voltage is
applied to the CS pin. The current sense signal is blanked by
a leading edge blanking (LEB) circuit. The blanking period
eliminates the leading edge spike and high frequency noise
during the switch turn−on event. The LEB period, tCS(LEB1),
is typically 275 ns. The drive pulse terminates once the
current sense signal exceeds VFB/KFB.

time, the PWM Comparator takes precedence and the
overload timer counts down. When the overloard timer
elapses, the circuit detects an overload condition and

5.5 V VCC(bias) level for 2 s only (typically). After this 2 s
delay time, the circuit attempts to restart. More practically,
after an overload condition is detected, operation is
interrupted and hence, the VCC that is provided by an
auxiliary winding, decays. When it reaches VCC(off), the
circuit waits for 2 s before allowing the circuit operation
recovery. During this delay, VCC is forced to the 5.5 V
VCC(bias) level so that the blocks monitoring the line remain
active. When this phase is complete, a VCC charge sequence
starts.
Figures 56 and 57 show operating waveforms for
auto−recovery and latched overload conditions.
The NCP1339D, E and F latch off when it detects an
overload situation. In this condition, the circuit stops
generating drive pulses and let VCC drop down. When VCC
has reached its 5.5 V VCC(bias) level, the circuit maintains
VCC to this level. It cannot recover operation until VCC
drops below its reset level. Practically, the power supply
must be unplugged to be reset.
The NCP1339C, G and H versions are autorecovery.
When an overload fault is detected, like latched versions, it
stops generating drive pulses and let VCC drop down to its
5.5 V VCC(bias) level. However, the VCC is maintained to its

NCP1339
A 2nd Over−Current Comparator for Abnormal
Overcurrent Fault Detection
Also, the Fault comparator to 0.4 V (or OTP comparator
since typically used for overtemperature) is blanked for the
soft−start duration. The pin can then be filtered by an
external capacitor.
A severe fault like a winding short−circuit can cause the
switch current to increase very rapidly during the on−time.
The current sense signal significantly exceeds VILIM1. But,
because the current sense signal is blanked by the LEB
circuit during the switch turn on, the power switch current
can become huge causing system damage.
The NCP1339 protects against this fault by adding an
additional comparator for Abnormal Overcurrent Fault
detection. The current sense signal is blanked with a shorter
LEB duration, tCS(LEB2), typically 125 ns, before applying
it to the Abnormal Overcurrent Fault Comparator. The
voltage threshold of the comparator, VILIM2, typically 1.2 V,
is set 50% higher than VILIM1, to avoid interference with
normal operation. Four consecutive Abnormal Overcurrent
faults cause the controller to enter latch mode (NCP1339D,
E and F versions) or auto−recovery mode (NCP1339C, G
and H). The count to 4 provides noise immunity during surge
testing. The counter is reset each time a DRV pulse occurs
without activating the Fault Overcurrent Comparator.
Jittering Capability
In order to help meet the EMI requirements, the NCP1339
(E, F and G versions) features the jittering capability to
average the spectrum rays over the frequency range. The
function consists of sourcing a 0 to 100 mA, 1.3 kHz
triangular current out of the CS pin (IJIT ). This current
together with the external resistor placed on the CS pin
generates an offset that will change the actual power switch
peak current and hence the operation frequency.
The jittering current source and hence the jittering
function is enabled only in high line condition since at low
line, the input voltage ripple is generally sufficient to help
meet EMI specs. This function is also disabled in Frequency
Foldback operation mode.
The jittering function modulates the peak current level. As
a result, the FB signal that struggles for compensating this
effect and limiting the output voltage ripple, exhibits a
swing. The resistor placed between the CS pin and the
current sense resistor must not be too high. Otherwise, the
jittering offset on the CS pin can lead to a FB swing
exceeding the VLO mode 600 mV hysteresis inbuilt to avoid
unwanted transitions between valleys. In practice, this
resistor is generally below 1 kohm.
Protecting from a Failure of the Current Sensing
A 1−mA (typically) pull−up current source, ICS, pulls up
the CS pin to disable the controller if the pin is left open.
In addition the maximum on−time (32 ms typically) avoids
that the MOSFET stays permanently on if the switch current
cannot reach the current setpoint when for instance, the input
voltage is low.
Driver
Soft−Start
The NCP1339 maximum supply voltage, VCC(max), is
28 V. Typical high−voltage MOSFETs have a maximum
gate voltage rating of 20 V. The DRV pin incorporates an
active voltage clamp to limit the gate voltage on the external
MOSFETs. The DRV voltage clamp, VDRV(high) is typically
12 V with a maximum limit of 14 V.
Soft−start is achieved by ramping up an internal reference,
VSSTART, and comparing it to current sense signal. VSSTART
ramps up from 0 V once the controller powers up. The
setpoint rise is then limited by the VSSTART ramp so that a
gradual increase of the power switch current during
start−up. The soft−start duration (that is, the time necessary
for the ramp to reach the VILIM1 steady state current limit),
tSSTART, is typically 4 ms.
During soft−start the ZCD timeout duration is extended.
This is because, during startup, demagnetization phases are
long and difficult to detect since the auxiliary winding
voltage is small. In this condition, the 6−ms steady−state
timeout is generally shorter than the inductor
demagnetization period and if used to restart a switching
cycle, it can cause continuous current mode (CCM)
operation for few cycles until the voltage on the ZCD pin is
high enough for proper valleys detection. A longer timeout
period, t(out1), (typically 100 ms) is therefore set during
soft−start to prevent CCM operation.
Thermal Shutdown
An internal thermal shutdown circuit monitors the
junction temperature of the IC. The controller is disabled if
the junction temperature exceeds the thermal shutdown
threshold, TSHDN, typically 150°C. A continuous VCC
hiccup is initiated after a thermal shutdown fault is detected.
The controller restarts at the next VCC(on) once the IC
temperature drops below TSHDN by the thermal shutdown
hysteresis, TSHDN(HYS), typically 40°C.
The thermal shutdown is also cleared if VCC drops below
VCC(reset), a brown−out fault is detected or if the controller
enters power savings mode. A new power up sequences
commences at the next VCC(on) once all the faults are
removed.
