NCP1231
Low−Standby Power High
Performance PWM
Controller
The NCP1231 represents a major leap towards achieving low
standby power in medium−to−high power Switched−Mode Power
Supplies such as notebook adapters, off−line battery chargers and
consumer electronics equipment. Housed in SOIC−8 or PDIP−8, the
NCP1231 contains all needed control functionality to build a rugged
and efficient power supply. Among the unique features offered by the
NCP1231 is an event management scheme that can disable the
front−end PFC circuit during standby, thus reducing the no load power
consumption. The NCP1231 itself goes into cycle skipping at light
loads while limiting peak current (to 25% of nominal peak) so that no
acoustic noise is generated and while in the skip cycle mode.
The NCP1231 also features an internal latching function that can be
used for Overvoltage Protection (OVP). The latch is triggered when
the voltage on Pin 8 rises above 4.0 V. During an OVP condition, the
output drive pulses are immediately stopped and the NCP1231 stays in
the latched off condition until VCC drops below 4.0 V (VCCreset). In
addition, Pin 8 also serves as a Brown−Out input which provides the
necessary safety feature when the SMPS faces low mains situations.

PIN FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
Pin No.
Pin Name
Function
Pin Description
1
PFC VCC
Directly powers the PFC
front−end stage
This pin is a direct connection to the VCC pin (Pin 6) via a low impedance switch.
In standby and during the startup sequence, the switch is open and the PFC VCC
is shutdown. As soon as the aux. winding is stabilized, Pin 1 connects to the VCC
pin and provides bias to the PFC controller. It goes down in standby and fault
conditions.
2
FB
Feedback Signal
An optocoupler collector pulls this pin low to regulate. When the current setpoint
falls below 25% of the maximum peak, the controller skips cycles.
3
CS
Current Sense
This pin incorporates two different functions: the standard sense function and an
internal ramp compensation signal.
4
GND
IC Ground
5
DRV
Driver Output
With a drive capability of +500 mA / −800 mA, the NCP1231 can drive large Qg
MOSFETs.
6
VCC
VCC Input
The controller accepts voltages up to 18 V and features a UVLO of 7.7 V typical.
7
SS
(Soft−Start)
To provide an internal
ramp timing for different
usages
This pin provides three different functions, via a capacitor to ground, saw tooth
signal whose function is to create a soft−start, frequency dithering and 100 msec
fault timer.
8
BO/OVP
Brown−Out and OVP
By connecting this pin to a resistive divider, the controller ensures operation at a
safe mains level. If an external event brings this pin above 4 V, the controller is
permanently latched−off.

NCP1231
OPERATING DESCRIPTION
Introduction
the PFC_VCC output during standby, and overload
conditions.
The NCP1231 is a current mode controller which provides
a high level of integration by providing all the required
control logic, protection, and a PWM Drive Output into a
single chip which is ideal for low cost, medium to high
power off−line application, such as notebook adapters,
battery chargers, set−boxes, TV, and computer monitors.
The NCP1231 has a low startup current (30 A) allowing
the controller to be connected directly to a high voltage
source through a resistor, providing low loss startup, and
reducing external circuitry. In addition, the NCP1231 has a
PFC_VCC output pin which provides the bias supply power
for a Power Factor Correction controller, or other logic. The
NCP1231 has an event management scheme which disables
PFC_VCC
As shown on the internal NCP1231 internal block
diagram, an internal low impedance switch SW1 routes
Pin 6 (VCC) to Pin 1 when the power supply is operating
under nominal load conditions. The PFC_VCC signal is
capable of delivering up to 35 mA of continuous current for
a PFC Controller, or other logic.
Connecting the NCP1231 PFC_VCC output to a PFC
Controller chip is very straight forward, refer to the “Typical
Application Example” (Figure 30) all that is generally
required is a small decoupling capacitor (0.1 F) near the
PFC controller.

Feedback

The feedback pin has been designed to be connected
directly to the open−collector output of an optocoupler. The
pin is pulled−up through a 20 k resistor to the internal Vdd
supply (6.5 volts nominal). The feedback input signal is
divided down, by a factor of three, and connected to the
negative (−) input of the PWM comparator. The positive (+)
input to the PWM comparator is the current sense signal
(Figure 31).
The NCP1231 is a peak current mode controller, where
the feedback signal is proportional to the output power. At
the beginning of the cycle, the power switch is turns−on and
the current begins to increase in the primary of the
transformer, when the peak current crosses the feedback
voltage level, the PWM comparators switches from a logic
level low, to a logic level high, resetting the PWM latching
Flip−Flop, turning off the power switch until the next
oscillator clock cycle begins.

Skip Mode
The feedback input is connected in parallel with the skip
cycle logic (Figure 32). When the feedback voltage drops
below 25% of the maximum peak current (1 V/Rsense) the
IC prevents the current from decreasing any further and
starts to blank the output pulses. This is called the skip cycle
mode. While the controller is in the burst mode the power
transfer now depends upon the duty cycle of the pulse burst
width which reduces the average input power demand.

During the skip mode the PFC_Vcc signal (pin 1) is
asserted into a high impedance state when a light load
condition is detected and confirmed, Figure 33 shows
typical waveforms. The first section of the waveform shows
a normal startup condition, where the output voltage is low,
as a result the feedback signal will be high asking the
controller to provide the maximum power to the output. The
second phase is under normal loading, and the output is in
regulation. The third phase is when the output power drops
below the 25% threshold (the feedback voltage drops to 0.75
volts). When this occurs, the 100 mses timer starts, and if the

NCP1231
The NCP1231 provides an internal 2.3 Vpp ramp which
is summed internally through a 18 k resistor to the current
sense pin. To implement ramp compensation a resistor needs
to be connected from the current sense resistor, to the current
sense pin 3.
Example:
If we assume we are using the 65 kHz version of the
NCP1231, at 65 kHz the dv/dt of the ramp is 130 mV/s.
Assuming we are designing a FLYBACK converter which
has a primary inductance, Lp, of 350 H, and the SMPS has
a +12 V output with a Np:Ns ratio of 1:0.1. The OFF time
primary current slope is given by:
NCP1231 confirms that the low output power condition is
present, and the internal SW1 opens. After the NCP1231
confirms that it is in a low power mode, versus a load
transient, the PFC_Vcc signal output is shuts down. While
the NCP1231 is in the skip mode the FB pin will move
around the 750 mV threshold level, with approximately 100
mVp−p of hysteresis on the skip comparator, at a period
which depends upon the (light) loading of the power supply
and its various time constants. Since this ripple amplitude
superimposed over the FB pin is lower than the second
threshold (1.25 volt), the PFC_Vcc comparator output stays
high (PFC_Vcc output Pin 1 is low).
In Phase four, the output power demands have increases
and the feedback voltage rises above the 1.25 volts
threshold, the NCP1231 exits the skip mode, and returns to
normal operation.

If we select 75% of the inductor current downslope as our

Current Sense
The NCP1231 is a peak current mode controller, where
the current sense input is internally clamped to 1 V, so the
sense resister is determined by Rsense = 1 V/Ipk maximum.
There is a 18k resistor connected to the CS pin, the other
end of the 18k resistor is connect to the output of the internal
oscillator for ramp compensation (refer to Figure 34).
Leading Edge Blanking
In Switch Mode Power Supplies (SMPS) there can be a
large current spike at the beginning of the current ramp due
to the Power Switch gate to source capacitance, transformer
interwinding capacitance, and output rectifier recovery
time. To prevent prematurely turning off the PWM drive
output, a Leading Edges Blanking (LEB) (Figure 35) circuit
is place is series with the current sense input, and PWM
comparator. The LEB circuit masks the first 250 ns of the
current sense signal.
Ramp Compensation
In Switch Mode Power Supplies operating in Continuous
Conduction Mode (CCM) with a duty−cycle greater than
50%, oscillation will take place at half the switching
frequency. To eliminate this condition, Ramp Compensation
can be added to the current sense signal to cure sub harmonic
oscillations. To lower the current loop gain one typically
injects between 50 and 100% of the inductor down slope.

high, a 100 ms timer starts. If at the end of the 100 ms timeout
period, the error flag is still asserted then the controller
determines that there is a true fault condition and stops the
PWM drive output, refer to Figure 36. When this occurs,
VCC starts to decrease because the power supply is locked
out. When VCC drops below UVLOlow (7.7 V typical), it
enters a latch−off phase where the internal consumption is
reduced down to 30 A. This reduction in current allows the
VCC capacitor to be charged up through the external startup
resistor, when VCC reaches VCCON (12.6 V), the soft−start
circuit is activated and the controller goes through a normal
startup. If the fault has gone and the error flag is low, the
controller resumes normal operations.
Under transient load conditions, if the error flag is
asserted, the error flag will normally drop prior to the 100 ms
timeout period and the controller continues to operate
normally.
If the 100 msec timer expires while the NCP1231 is in the
Skip Mode, SW1 opens and the PFC_Vcc output will shut
down and will not be activated until the fault goes away and
the power supply resumes normal operations.
While in the Skip Mode, to avoid any thermal runaway it
is desirable for the skip duty cycle to be kept below 20%(the
burst duty−cycle is defined as Tpulse / Tfault).
The latch−off phase can also be initiated, more classically,
when VCC drops below UVLO (7.7 V typical). During this
fault detection method, the controller will not wait for the
100 ms time−out, or the error flag before it goes into the
latch−off phase, operating in the skip mode under these
conditions.

Short−Circuit Condition
The NCP1231 is different from other controllers which
uses auxiliary windings to detect events on the isolated
secondary output. There maybe some conditions (for
example when the leakage inductance is high) where it can
be extremely difficult to implement short−circuit and
overload protection. This occurs because when the power
switch opens, the leakage inductance superimposes a large
spike on the switch drain voltage. This spike is seen on the
isolated secondary output and on the auxiliary winding.
Because the auxiliary winding and diode form a peak
rectifier, the auxiliary VCC capacitor voltage can be charged
up to the peak value rather than the true plateau which is
proportional to the output level.
To resolve these issues the NCP1231 monitors the 1.0 V
error flag. As soon as the internal 1.0 V error flag is asserted

Drive Output
The NCP1231 provides a Drive Output which can be
connected through a current limiting resistor to the gate of
a MOSFET. The Driver output is capable of delivering drive
pulses with a rise time of 40 ns, and a fall time of 15 ns
through its internal source and sink resistance of 12.3 ohms
(typical), measured with a 1.0 nF capacitive load.

Startup Sequence
When the power supply is first connected to the mains
outlet, current flows through Rstartup, charging the Vcc
capacitor (refer to Figure 37). When the voltage on the Vcc
capacitors reaches VccON level (typically 12.6 V), the
NCP1231 then turns on the drive output to the external
MOSFET in an attempt to increase the output voltage and
charge up the Vcc capacitor through the Vaux winding in the
transformer.
During the startup sequence, the controller pushes for the
maximum peak current, which is reached after the 5 ms
soft−start period (adjustable). As soon as the maximum peak
set point is reached, the internal 1.0 V clamp actively limits
the current amplitude to 1.0 V/Rsense and asserts an error
flag indicating that a maximum current condition is being
observed. In this mode, the controller must determine if it is
a normal startup period (or transient load) or is the controller
is facing a fault condition. To determine the difference
between a normal startup sequence, and a fault condition, the
error flag is asserted, and the 100 ms timer starts to count
down. If the error flag drops prior to the 100 ms time−out
period, the controller resets the timer and determines that it
was a normal star−up sequence and enables the low
impedance switch (SW1), enabling the PFC_Vcc output.
If at the end of the 100 ms period the error flag is still
asserted, then the controller assumes that it is a fault
condition and the PWM controller enters the skip mode and
does not enable the PFC_Vcc output.

Soft−Start
The NCP1231 features an adjustable soft−start circuit. As
soon as Vcc reaches a nominal 12.6 V, the soft−start circuit
is activated. The soft−start circuit output controls a reference
on the minus (−) input to an amplifier (refer to Figure 38),
the positive (+) input to the amplifier is the feedback input
(divided by 3). The output of the amplifier drives a FET
which clamps the feedback signal. As the soft−start circuit
output ramps up, it allow the feedback pin input to the PWM
comparator to gradually increased from near zero up to the
maximum clamping level of 1 V/Rsense. This occurs over
the entire 5 ms soft−start period until the supply enters
regulation. The soft−start is also activated every time a
restart is attempted. Figure 39 shows a typical soft−start up
sequence (with soft−start), normal operation (frequency
jittering), and a confirmed over load conditon (100 msec
timeout).

Frequency jittering is a method used to soften the EMI
signature by spreading out the average switching energy
around the controller operating switching frequency. The
NCP1231 offers a nominal ±4% deviation of the nominal
switching frequency. The sweep sawtooth is internally
generated and modulates the clock up and down with a 4 ms

Overvoltage Protection
BO comparators because the voltage on the bulk energy
storage capacitor ripple voltage is affected by the input
voltage and output power level. For this reason when BO
comparator toggles, the internal reference changes from
500 mV to 230 mV. This effect is not latched, as soon as the
input ac voltage in back within the normal operating range
and the voltage on the bulk energy storage capacitor is back
to normal range, the controller resume normal operation.
The lower threshold (VBLow) is the level at which the
drive output is disabled. This level is dependent on the ripple
voltage on Pin 8. A capacitor can be added between Pin 8 and
ground to select the amount of ripple voltage. The larger the
capacitor, the lower the ripple voltage, the greater the
amount of hysteresis.
The NCP1231 combines an over and under−voltage
protection on Pin 8. Figure 39 shows the internal component
configuration inside the chip. When the voltage on Pin 8 is
above 4.2 V then an OVP signal permanently latches off the
controller; all output drive pulses are stopped and the Vcc Pin
6 ramps up and down between Vccon and Vccmin until the
user unplugs the converter power allows Vcc to drop below
Vccreset (4.0 V). By bringing Vcc down to the reset voltage
(around 4.0 V), the latch is released and the IC can restart.

Thermal Protection
An internal Thermal Shutdown is provided to protect the
integrated circuit in the event that the maximum junction
temperature is exceeded. When activated (160 °C typically)
the controller turns off the PWM Drive Output. When this
occurs, Vcc will drop (the rate is dependent on the NCP1231
loading and the size of the Vcc capacitor) because the
controller is no longer delivering drive pulses to the
auxiliary winding charging up the Vcc capacitor. When Vcc
drops below 4.0 volts and the Vccreset circuit is activated,
the controller will restart. If the user is using a fixed bias
supply (the bias supply is provided from a source other than
from an auxiliary winding, refer to the typical application )
and Vcc is not allow to drop below 4.0 volts under a thermal
shutdown condition, the NCP1231 will not restart. This
feature is provided to prevent catastrophic failure from
accidentally overheating the device.

Brown−Out Protection
A Brown−Out (BO) protection feature prevents the power
supply for being over stressed when the main input power
drops below the typical universal input range of 85−265 Vac.
When this occurs, the controller stops the drive output and
waits for normal power to resume. Hysteresis is used on the
