2.1 Operation mode
MCZ5207SG operation timing chart is shown in 2.2 and 2.3.
Method of selecting components value is described in article 3.
MCZ5207SG has three operation mode :
1) Normal operation mode
2) Active stdby mode
3) Burst operation mode
Normal operation is assumed in this document unless otherwise specified.
Active stdby mode and burst mode operation details are described in 2.3.11 and 2.3.12.
2.2 Supply voltage
2.2.1 IC main supply (Vc1)
Vc1 UVLO threshold is 12.9V (start) and 8.7V (stop).
When Vc1 terminal voltage reaches to Vc1(start) 12.9V, Vc2 output is enabled and IC operation
starts. When Vc1 terminal voltage decreases to less than Vc1(stop) 8.7V, Vc2 output is disabled
and IC operation stops. Latching protection is initialized when Vc1 terminal voltage decreases to
less than Vc1(latch reset) 8.3V.
2.2.2 Stabilized gate drive VDD (Vc2)
Vc2 terminal is an output of internal 10.2V dropper for the gate driver. Vc2 output is also a voltage
source of boot strapping high side VDD. Filtering capacitor should be placed close to Vc2 - GND.
Please be noticed that gate driving ripple current flows in this Vc2 filtering capacitor, so take care
of capacitor ripple current rating.
Vc2 output is enabled when Vc1 reaches to Vc1(start) 12.9V. Internal oscillator starts operation
when Vc2 terminal voltage reaches to Vc2(start) 9.6V and Gate drive output is enabled.
Refer to article 2.3 to see gate drive output timing.
2.2.3 Boot strapped High side floating VDD (VB)
VB is the input from Vc2 voltage source through boot strapping diode. Please place boot strap
filtering capacitor close to VB – VS terminal. 600V fast and soft recovery FRD like D1NK60 (axial)
or D1FK60 (SMD) is recommended as a boot strapping diode, snappy recovery type should not be
chosen
High side UVLO is implemented watching VB – VS terminal voltage. VB-VS(start) is 7.3V and VBVS(stop) is 5.1V. Undesired linear operation can be prevented by this independent high side VDD
UVLO.

2.3 Functional terminal detail
2.3.1 Gate drive output (VGL and VGH)
Gate driver output terminals are VGL (Low side MOSFET) and VGH (High side MOSFET) with
0.18Apk sourcing and 0.4Apk sinking capability. Generic gate drive connection is shown in Fig.3(A).
Large Qg gate can be handled with additional sinking diode shown in Fig.3(B),(C).
In this case snappy recovery diode is not recommended. Soft recovery fast switching or SBD is
recommended like D1NS4 (40V axial SBD) or M1FM3 (30V SMD SBD).
Fig. 3 . Gate drive circuits
2.3.2 Oscillator (FB)
The timing of gate drive pulse VGL and VGH is determined by charging and discharging time
period of timing capacitor Ct (connected between FB and GND).
Gate output is enabled during Ct discharging period. VGL and VGH are alternately outputted to
drive each gate of MOSFETs. During Ct charging period, both VGL and VGH are simultaneously
disabled to prevent shoot through of MOSFETs, this time period is known as Dead time (DT),.
DT is depend on Ct and Rt value. Please refer to electric characteristics charts
Fig.4 . FBL – VGL/VGH timing
SHINDENGEN
ELECTRIC MFG.CO.,LTD
-9-
MCZ5207SG
Operating frequency is varied by controlling Ct discharging current. (Fig.5)
Dead time expands according to operating frequency increase, thus ZVS (Zero Voltage Switching)
operation can be easily achieved in wide input/output range and various resonant condition.
Minimum operating frequency (fmin) is determined by timing capacitor Ct and timing resistor Rt.
Maximum operating frequency (fmax) is determined by Ct ,Rt and Rfmax connected in series to
FB control loop.
Less than 500kHz is recommended in continuous operation.
Soft starting frequency (fss) is determined by Ct value, fss and fmax is independent so undesired
frequency increase can be avoided under heavy CCM LLC operation.

2.3.3 Brown-out protection (Vsen)
Vsen terminal monitors the input bus voltage and determines Csst discharge ON/OFF according to
Vsen terminal voltage. This input UVLO function prevents excessive resonant rush current flow and
capacitive mode operation under various input brown-out condition.
Timing chart of Vsen brown-out protection is shown in Fig. 6
Under input bus voltage increasing condition , Csst starts to be charged when Vsen terminal
voltage reaches to Vsen1(ss-reset) 3.55V and Gate output is enabled when SST terminal voltage
reaches to Vss(st) 0.6V. Operating frequency decreases according to SST terminal voltage
increases.
And under input bus voltage decreasing condition, Csst starts to be discharged when Vsen
terminal voltage decreases to Vsen2(ss-reset) 3.25V. Operating frequency increases gradually
according to SST terminal voltage decreases and Gate output is disabled when SST terminal
voltage reaches to less than Vss(sp) 0.5V.
Vsen brownout threshold voltage is switched automatically according to AS terminal voltage status.

2.3.4 Dynamic peak current limiting OCP (CS1)
Shorted load protection (OCP1, hereinafter) is a fast response cycle by cycle peak current limiter.
When CS1 terminal voltage reached to CS1 threshold ( +/- 0.5V ), gate drive output is disabled
instantaneously and Ct and also Csst starts to be charged . 0.5V threshold is low enough so
sensing loss is not high even when using current sensing resistor method.
Fig. 7 shows the timing charts of OCP1 operation and Csst charging detail is described in article
2.3.8.
LEB is enabled during FB(top) 4.65V to 4.4V time period. So even heavy non-ZVS surge current
cannot trigger OCP1. From OCP1 detection to Ct charging has 200nsec time delay due to internal
filter.

The MCZ5207SG has frequency clamped Over Load Protection (OCP2, hereinafter). When CS2
terminal voltage reaches to +/-0.5V, CSO starts to be charged and operating frequency increases
according to CSO terminal voltage increases. Operating frequency and CSO terminal voltage is
shown in Fig. 8
Please be noticed that OCP2 operating point is independent from OCP1, so desired operating
point can be adjusted.

2.3.6
Anti-Capacitive mode protection (CS2)
The MCZ5207SG adopts anti-capacitive mode protection to prevent damgerous MOSFET body
diode di/dtoperation. When CS2 terminal voltage crosses Vdi/dt(+/-) +/- 0.1V before expected gate
turn off , gate output is instantaneously disabled. (shown in Fig.10)
During high side MOSFET ON period, high side gate turns off and Ct starts charged immediately
when CS2 terminal voltage reaches to +0.1V in negative direction.And during low side MOSFET
ON period, low side gate turns off and Ct starts to be charged when CS2 turminal voltage reaches
to -0.1V in possitive direction.
To prevent malfunction caused by switching surge voltage , capacitive mode protection is disabled
during VFB > VFB(msk) 4.4V . Even if CS2 terminal voltage crosses this threshold during this time
period, anti-capacitive mode protection does not work.
Timer delayed latching protection is enabled only when LLC is operating in AS mode.
- Normal and burst mode : Csst will not be charged in anti-capacitive mode protection
- AS mode
: Csst will be charged during anti-capacitive mode
protection operates.
This anti- capacitive mode protection results in LLC operating always in above ZVS region, so
feedback - control turnaround never occurs.

2.3.8 Soft start (SST)

2.3.9 Timer delayed latching protection (SST)
Csst also functions as latching protection timing capacitor.
SST terminal capacitor Csst starts to be charged in two condition as following:
1. OCP1 or OCP2 operates continuously
2. Anti-capacitive mode protection operates in AS mode.
OR
When Csst is charged continuously and SST terminal voltage reaches to Vtimer(set) 3.5V, long
interval intermittent protection starts. After specified time period, normal operation restarts when
abnormal condition was removed. If abnormal condition has not been removed, IC enters into
latched off mode after second intermittent operation finished.

2.3.10 Boot strapping circuit
High side floating VDD (VB-VS) capacitor is charged during conduction period of low side MOSFET
as shown in Fig.14.
VB – VS voltage is simply equals to (Vc2 – Vf of Dboot). Although very stable operation is possible
due to stabilized Vc2 voltage, if huge negative surge voltage superimposed to VB, please add
zener diode clamp of 15V to avoid high side logic malfunction. This surge voltage is caused by
parasitic inductance in main switching loop and huge turn off current .

2.3.11 Active stdby asymmetric operation (AS)
The MCZ5207SG has asymmetric operation mode called Active Standby Mode to improve light
load efficiency. When AS terminal voltage less than Vas(on) 0.8V, operation enters into
asymmetric operation mode. After entering in AS mode, operation will return to normal symmetric
operation mode when AS terminal voltage reaches to more than Vas(off) 1.0V. To avoid
undesirable AS mode operation, add 1nF – 10nF closed to AS terminal. (Even when AS function is
not used, add filtering capacitor .)
AS terminal open voltage is 2.5V.
Circuit configuration is shown in Fig. 15.
Fig. 15 AS signal configuration example
When AS signal is not applied (Vas(open) 2.5V), VGH and VGL output is symmetrically 50% duty
cycle, and if AS terminal is pulled down externally to less than 2.2V, Ct charging threshold of low
side MOSFET starts decreasing. This threshold decreasing is proportional to AS terminal voltage
and finally reaches to bottom value of threshold when AS terminal voltage reaches to 1.0V.
Decreasing of Ct discharging threshold results in VGL pulse width increasing. Maximum duty
unbalance is 1:2 (VGH : VGL).
Fig. 16 Asymmetric Gate output example
When operation is switched to AS mode,
- Vsen threshold (SS-Reset) is switched from 3.55V/3.25V to 1.0V/0.9V.
- Csst charging enabled if anti-capacitive protection operates.

2.3.12 Burst mode operation (AS)
BURST mode operation starts when more than 4.5V external voltage is applied to AS terminal. Csst is
discharged to 0.5V that results in gate output disabled. And when AS terminal voltage decreases to 4.0V ,
Csst starts to be charged and starting cycle begins. During burst mode operation, Csst charging current
is switched from 30uA to 60uA to shorten starting time period. Also Vsen threshold voltage is switched to
1.0V(on) / 0.9V(off) preparing to PFC stopped LLC operation. Operation will recover to normal continuous
operation when AS terminal voltage decreases to 3.0V or less.

recommended not to be affected by the sink current.
Connect a capacitor of 1000 to 10000pF between Vsen and GND for filtering.

3.2 Oscillator / Feedback (FB)
Operating frequency can be controlled by pulling current from FB terminal. Ct , Rt and Rfb
connected to FB terminal determine minimum frequency (fmin),maximum frequency (fmax) , starting
frequency (fss) and dead time (DT).
3.2.1 dead time and soft start frequency (Ct )
Dead time and soft start frequency fss are determined by Ct capacitance. Select Ct capacitance
from characteristic specification sheet.
Capacitance value of Ct of 470pF to 2200pF is recommended due to the relation with dead time.
3.2.2 Minimum frequency fmin (Rt resistance)
Minimum frequency fmin is determined by Rt value. (Connect between FB and GND.) Relation
between Rt resistance and frequency is shown in characteristic specification sheet.
The estimated value of fmin is obtained from formula (4) to (6). tcharge is a dead time and
tdischarge is ON time period of VGL/VGH.
Calculated value is an estimated value including small error due to comparator delay time of
around 100nsec. (VFBL(bottom) : 3.5V , VFBL(top) : 4.65V )

3.3 Soft start / Timer delayed protection (SST)
Soft start charging current Iss(charge) is 30uA. When SST voltage rises to 0.6V, gate output starts
and timer charging is enabled when SST voltage rises to 1.5V.
Soft starting time tss is a time period in which SST voltage rises from 0.6V to 1.5V.
tss is obtained from formula (7).

Timer charging current Itimer(charge)1 is 40uA and output disable threshold voltage is 3.5V.
Thus, Timer charging time ttimer is obtained from formula (8).

Timer charging current is different when OCP2 is operating. If CSO terminal voltage is less than
1.75V, charging current Itimer(charge)2 is 1.9uA,so time period to operation stop (VSST=3.5V)
Ttimer is obtained from formula (9).

If CSO terminal voltage is grater than1.75V, charging current Itimer(charge)3 = 40uA ,so time
period to operation stoop Ttimer is obtained from formula (8).
Csst discharging current Itimer(discharge) is 6.5uA and operation restarts when SST terminal
voltage decreases to less than Vtimer(reset) 0.35V . So gate output disabling time period is
obtained from formula (10).

3.4 OCP1/OCP2 and anti-capacitive mode protection (CS1/CS2)
Current sensing connection example is shown in Fig.20
Type (a) is CS1/2 independent sensing and (b) shows CS1/2 common sensing connection.
Generally OCP2 operating point is lower than OCP1’s . In this condition OCP2 stabilizes LLC
operating frequency in transient over load / peak load condition and OCP1 finally halts entire LLC
operation in shorted load condition.
Current sensing resistor Rocpdet is calculated from desired OCP threshold Ipk using formula (11).
When the connection is assumed as type(a) , tentative value of RocpL(init) is obtained from
formula(12) and correct value of resonant current peak Ipk(ACT)is calculated from formula(13)
using actual value of RocpL.
Considering CS1/2 terminal sourcing current 95uA, 10 – 47 ohm is recommended for RocpH.
CS2 terminal sensing voltage is also used for ant-capacitive mode protection. CS2 operating point
should be determined considering +/-0.10V capacitive mode protection threshold.
Connect filtering capacitor of 1nF to 10nF close to CS1 or CS2 terminal to suppress OCP
malfunction.
Frequency stabilized OLP (OCP2) realizes smooth constant power output characteristics and
resonant current envelope, they are very suitable for Audio amp or huge peak current flowing
application. Actual example of output characteristics is shown in Fig.21.
Please be noticed that setting CS2 operating point to too high level causes undesirable anticapacitive mode protecting operation in normal load condition.
