Introduction
This design note describes a 15 W, universal AC
mains, isolated Quasi-Resonant flyback converter
compatible with Qualcomm’s High Voltage Dedicated
Charging Port Quick Charge™ 3.0 Class A specification.
The converter provides adjustable output voltage in a
range from 3.6 Vdc to 12 Vdc. It maintains maximum
output power 15 W at full range of the voltage output and
at same time it limits the maximum output current to
2.0 A. The design is targeted for smart phone and tablet
charger applications.
The charger design utilizes ON Semiconductor’s
new NCP4371 Qualcomm Quick Charge™ 3.0 Controller,
NCP1361E Quasi-Resonant Controller and NCP4305
Synchronous Rectification controller.
Circuit Description
1. Input Circuitry
The input circuitry is formed by a fuse F1, simple EMI
filter consisting of capacitor CX1, common and
differential mode choke inductors L1 and L4, and the
bridge rectifier B1.
2. NCP1361EABAY Control Circuitry
The NCP1361EABAY is a 6-pin Quasi-Resonant
Controller in TSOP6 package. It features output over
and under voltage protection sensing via Vs/ZCD pin,
which eliminates a need for an additional circuitry to
provide output voltage fault protection. The resistor
September 2015, Rev. 0
Resistors R14 and R15 are the primary current sense
resistors. To filter the turn-on spikes, a small RC filter
consisting of R12 and C11 is added into the signal
path between CS pin and current sense resistors.
Regulation information from secondary side controller
is transferred via optocoupler to primary side and
connected to NCP1361EABAY FB pin.
The primary controller is supplied via auxiliary
winding. Due to wide output voltage regulation range
the VCC supply circuitry requires a voltage regulator
consisting of Zener diode D11, R24 and a small
signal transistor BSS64L. Thus the controller is
protected from seeing high auxiliary voltage. R1 and
R2 are high impedance start-up resistors.
R3, R4, R5 and C19 forms a RCD clamp to limit Q1
MOSFET drain voltage spikes.
3. NCP4371 Qualcomm QC3.0 Controller
The NCP4371AAC is an 8-pin CV/CC (constant
voltage / constant current) controller in SOIC8
package. It resides on the isolated secondary side of
the converter. It allows receiving and decoding
control commands from Qualcomm QC3.0
compatible Portable Device. Output USB-bus voltage
can be adjusted in a range from 3.6 V to 12.0 V. The
NCP4371AAC controller provides a control feedback

to the primary side via an optocoupler driven by the
DRIVE pin.
R28, C20 and C21 form a compensation network for
the constant voltage regulation loop. R27 is an output
current sensing resistor. A voltage drop across the
R27 is sensed at ISNS input pin and used for output
current regulation. R17, C12 and C13 form a
compensation network for the output current
regulation.
The NCP4371 features internal discharge circuitry via
VCC pin. In case the internal discharge strength is
not sufficient an external discharge resistor R13
connected to the DISCHARGE pin can be used. The
output capacitors are required to be discharged
either a request for a lower VOUT is received or a USB
cable unplug event is detected.
By selection of the output current sensing resistor
value (R27) and current limit device option of the
NCP4371 the user can scale a maximum output
power and maximum current independently. In case
of the presented design we selected power profile A
and current limit C. Together with the R27 = 11 mΩ
we will get a following power profile:

Maximum output power is scaled to 15.0 W, while the
maximum output current is limited to 2.0 A as
restricted by USB Type-A connector.
4. NCP4305D Synchronous Rectification Controller
The flyback transformer secondary voltage is rectified
by a NCP4305D synchronous rectifier in order to
achieve higher efficiency. The NCP4305D senses a
voltage drop across output MOSFET transistor Q2
and turns it on and off accordingly. Resistors R20
and R21 allows to adjust minimum MOSFET driver
on and off times. The Light-Load Detect (LLD)
circuitry allows putting the NCP4305D controller into
a stand-by mode in case of light or no-load operating
condition.
The NCP4305D is supplied via a Schottky diode D6
under normal operating conditions. If the output
voltage falls below 4.5V the NCP4305D is supplied
by the transformer forward voltage via the circuitry
consisting of D8, R6, C15, R25, D7, D9 and Q3. This
situation will occur when the converter is running in
Constant Current mode or when the requested output
voltage from the Portable Device is below 5.0V.
