It controls so that the input current proportional to the input voltage (C, D in figure 1) could be flown. The reason for selecting the output voltage of 400 V is that the withstanding voltage of components and the operation limitation of booster chopper (input voltage < output voltage) under the worldwide input voltage are taken into consideration.

Explanation of block diagram and normal operation (7) Transformer reset signal (VB) detection When the excitation energy has been discharged and the inertia current of the inductor has been lost, the transformer starts resonance with the frequency which depends on parasitic capacitance of the board or parts and inductance of the inductor. This operation is detected at the VB terminal through sub-coil of the transformer. 8 Voltage Regulators AN8031 ■ Application Notes (continued) [2] Operation descriptions (continued) 1. Normal control (continued) 2) Control outline description (Refer to figure 2 and figure 3.) (continued) (8) Switching device turn-on By resonance, the turn-on signal is sent to the switching device, timed with the sub-coil voltage when it swings from high to low. (9) Continuation of operation When the switching device is turned on, current flows in the inductor so that the above operation is repeated. <Summary> • When the excitation energy of inductor is lost and the free resonance is started, the switching device turns on. • The switching device will turn off when the following two elements cross each other: The product of the input voltage (EIN) and output one (EOUT) of the chopper circuit, and the switching device current. • The fluctuation of input voltage and load current is controlled by changing the peak value height of switching device current. • The purposes of mixing two signals by using the multiplier are: to stabilize the control system to reduce the number of components required 3) Description of each function (1) VB • Function It detects the discharge of the excitation energy of the inductor (reset operation) and turns on the power MOSFET at the next cycle. • Method When the inductor is reset, the sub-coil provided on the inductor (bias winding) starts free resonance. It is difficult from the view point of withstanding voltage to input this voltage directly to the IC. For this reason, it is input to the VB terminal through resistor. • Function of upper limit voltage clamper It prevents the damage when the VB terminal voltage exceeds the withstanding voltage. • Function of lower limit voltage clamper It prevents the malfunction when the VB terminal voltage swings to negative voltage: generally, in the case of monolithic IC, malfunction (such as latch-up) occurs when the terminal voltage decreases to a value below −VBE and the parasitic device is activated. • IC inside The VB terminal voltage is input to the comparator with hysteresis inside the IC. For this reason, if the VB terminal voltage is under the threshold value, the power MOSFET is turned on. However, if the off signal has been given to the power MOSFET by the overvoltage protection function, this function precedes the former.

Explanation of VB operation <Setting the VB terminal constant> • Regulation by clamper in/out-current value The allowable output current of the upper limit voltage clamper is −5 mA and the allowable input current of the lower limit voltage clamper is +5 mA. Either one of these allowable values is exceeded, the voltage clamp operation of the VB terminal is not guaranteed. Therefore, RB should be set so that these values are not exceeded. • Consumption current and delay When the RB value is too large, the VB threshold could be exceeded. When the RB value is too small, the consumption current becomes too large. In order to determine the RB value properly, the input voltage range and the dispersion of components should be taken into consideration and it should be confirmed that a stable operation can be ensured under start/overload conditions or under a small load condition. 10 ±5 mA or less AN8031 VB RB RB too large: Consumption current becomes small, however, TOFF is extended by the delay amount because of low speed. RB too small: Speed is high, however, consumption current is small and undershoot tends to be generated easily.

Normal control (continued) 3) Description of each function (continued) AN8031 (1) VB (continued) <Setting the VB terminal constant> (continued) • Zero-cross switching Zero-cross switching can be realized by using the local resonance when turning off the power MOSFET in order to suppress the loss. By connecting the resonance capacitor CP between the drain and source of the power MOSFET, and using the inductance of the transformer's primary side LP, the resonance is produced after discharging the accumulated energy of the transformer. The capacitor for delay should be connected to the VB terminal so that the next turn-on could occur at the time when the resonance occurred and the drain voltage of the power MOSFET has reached around 0 V. However, it is necessary to take care that the zero-cross conditions could deviate since the delay amount varies depending on the conditions such as the input voltage.

The current flow when the power MOSFET is turned on is equivalent to the current flow in the inductor. Therefore, the necessary power value can be controlled by controlling the peak value of the above current. The input D-range of this terminal is from 0 V to 5 V. However, since dissipation becomes larger if the power MOSFET current detecting resistance is set at larger value. A value from 0.22 Ω to 0.47 Ω is the standard considering the relationship with the S/N. The charge and discharge current to and from the parasitic capacitance of the power MOSFET, transformer or printed circuit wiring flow in the power MOSFET detection resistor at turning-on and off. Since such current generates noise and causes malfunction, it is necessary to incorporate a filter to remove such irregular element. Parasitic capacitance Spike VB Filter ICS 0A Spike Figure 6. CS terminal explanation (3) MPI The MPI is the terminal for monitoring the AC input voltage. The voltage which is resistance-divided input voltage after full-wave rectification is input. The input D-range of the multiplier is from 0 V to 4.5 V typical and output D-range is from 0 V to 5.4 V typical. 11 AN8031 Voltage Regulators ■ Application Notes (continued) [2] Operation descriptions (continued) 1. Normal control (continued) 3) Description of each function (continued) (4) EI/EO The resisitance-devided voltage of the active filter output is input to the EI. The EI is the error amplifier's inverted input, and the temperature-compensated reference voltage (2.5 V typical) is input as the noninverted input. The error amplifier amplifies the error amount between the output voltage, and the reference voltage and outputs to the multiplier. The resistor between the EI and EO is used for determining the gain of error amplifier. As for the resistance-dividing for decreasing the active filter's output voltage to the input D-range of EI, if an attempt is made to use a small-sized resistor for suppressing the dissipation, its resistance value becomes high because of the high output voltage. For this reason, note that if the capacitance inserted between the EI and EO for phase compensation is large, the delay element between it and the resistancedivider of high resistance becomes large, so that the characteristics at the time of sudden change of load (overshoot or undershoot) is degraded. Therefore, as the value for phase compensation capacitor, select the minimum value with which the oscillation can be prevented. Output Error amplifier 5 EI SBD To multiplier EO 4 Reference voltage (2.5 V typ.) Resistor determining the gain Phase compensation capacitor Figure 7. EI/EO terminal description (5) VOUT For the drive circuit, the AN8031 employs the totem pole type by which the power MOSFET can be directly driven. Since the peak output current is ±1 A, the TO-220 class power MOSFET can be driven. For the TOP-3 class, the buffer circuit should be added outside because its capability is not sufficient for that class. The power MOSFET momentarily swings to minus due to the parasitic capacitance between the drain and gates at the time of turn-off and this causes malfunction in some cases. Therefore, the Schottky barrier diode should be inserted between the VOUT and GND if necessary.

Be careful that the value for C1 shown in the right figure must be set at a large value, otherwise, the IC does not easily start. • Giving bias from power supply In the case such as of fluorescent lamp inverter circuit, separate power supply is provided so as to give the bias from the separate power supply.

In the case of limiting the power MOSFET drive current, if the R1 is connected to the PVCC terminal and the R2 is connected to the VOUT terminal as shown in the right figure, the R1 + R2 limits the drive current when the power MOSFET is turned on and the R2 limits the drive current when it is turned off. In that way, the speed of turnon and turn-off can be changed.

Protection circuit 1) Timer In control of this IC, the chopper circuit does not start unless the first on-signal is input to the switching device. The chopper circuit does not re-start, if the turn-on timing of switching device is missed due to some abnormality. For the above reasons, this IC is incorporating the timer circuit and generating the start pulse once in every approx. 400 µs (typical) when the chopper circuit stops, eliminating the need for an external part to cope with this problem. (Refer to figure 9.) However, in order to prevent the output rise of the chopper circuit, the timer circuit does not operate as long as the overvoltage protector is operating.

Protection circuit (continued) 2) Overvoltage protection (1) Cause of overvoltage In the booster chopper circuit, control is carried out so that the input power becomes zero when the load current reaches zero. However, in the actual condition, the input power can not be decreased to zero. The output voltage is brought to out of control state, so that it rises. The cause of the out-of-control condition is that there is a delay time from the turn-on to the turn-off of the switching device, so that the control to stop the operation of switching device becomes impossible. (Refer to figure 10.) In order to prevent the occurrence of such problem, the AN8031 has the built-in overvoltage protection circuit, so that the number of component to be added to the external part is drastically reduced. Power MOS off-time current Power MOS on-time current Input voltage Under light load SBD AN8031 Output voltage Under no load condition, this voltage decreases to around 0 V.

Protection circuit (continued) 2) Overvoltage protection (continued) (2) Description of overvoltage protector operation With respect to the AN3081 IC, the input of the error amplifier which detects the output voltage is also commonly used as the input of the overvoltage protection comparator. This is the point which differs from the AN8032. Each setting is shown as follows: • Control reference voltage of the error amplifier: 2.50 V typical • Detection voltage of the overvoltage comparator: 2.63 V typical [Without hysteresis] (Voltage of 5% higher than the control reference voltage of the error amplifier) If the output voltage becomes more than 5% higher than the normal control voltage at the time of start up or abnormality occurrence, the overvoltage comparator operates to cut off the switching device. The timer circuit is cut off when overvoltage is detected. This prevents the output voltage to increase further. Otherwise, the timer circuit will re-start the power MOSFET, and actuate it to increase the output voltage further at the time of the overvoltage detection. Therefore, under no load condition, the output voltage of the chopper circuit is stabilized at the value which is 5% higher than the normal control voltage and does not exceed that value. (Refer to figure 11.) The increase/decrease of the output voltage is created by the offset amount of the overvoltage comparator. Stabilized at 5% higher voltage Output voltage of active filter Created by offset amount of overvoltage comparator 420 V 400 V Power MOSFET current 0A Operation condition of active filter Time Operating Stop Operating Stop Figure 11.

Protection circuit (continued) 2) Overvoltage protection (continued) (3) Output voltage overshoot at start At operation start, the output overload condition is created because the smoothing capacitor which is connected to the output is charged. Under this condition the chopper circuit operates with full power. However, it does not immediately come out of the full-power-operation due to control delay even when the proper output voltage is obtained, causing the overshoot of output voltage. The AN8031 overvoltage protector operates even at operation starts and prevents the worst cases such as damage of used parts.(Refer to figure 12.)
