Circuit Description
The NCP3120 operates as a voltage-mode, pulse-widthmodulated, (PWM) asynchronous buck converter. Its
operating frequency is adjustable with an external resistor to
ground from 220 kHz to 750kHz. minimum switching
frequency of 220 kHz and a maximum 750kHz. Also, an
onboard operational transconductance amplifier (OTA)
integrates the error signal to provide high DC accuracy. The
NCP3120 also includes an enable and disable function with
externally controlled soft start and stop.

Performance Information - cont.
Hiccup Overload Protection
When the NCP3120 detects an overload condition (FB
voltage falls to 0.5 V), switching stops, the soft start
capacitor is discharged to 0.1 V and again charged to 1V.
The output of the error amplifier is also tied to ground
(output transistor is closed) during the soft start capacitor
discharge. If the output voltage is still below the overload
condition voltage (0.5 V), the cycle repeats, as shown in
Figure15.
The NCP3120 uses hiccup mode protection to protect the
power supply from damage during overload conditions.
During normal operation, the external soft start capacitor is
pulled up by a current source that delivers 10 mA to the SS
pin capacitor. This current source continues to charge the
soft start capacitor until it reaches the saturation voltage of
the current source (typically 4 V).
