NCP1250
Current-Mode PWM
Controller for Off-line
Power Supplies
The NCP1250 is a highly integrated PWM controller capable of
delivering a rugged and high performance offline power supply in a
tiny TSOP−6 package. With a supply range up to 28 V, the controller
hosts a jittered 65 kHz or 100 kHz switching circuitry operated in peak
current mode control. When the power on the secondary side starts to
decrease, the controller automatically folds back its switching
frequency down to a minimum level of 26 kHz. As the power further
goes down, the part enters skip cycle while limiting the peak current.
Over Power Protection (OPP) is a difficult exercise especially when
no−load standby requirements drive the converter specifications. The
ON proprietary integrated OPP lets you harness the maximum
delivered power without affecting your standby performance simply
via two external resistors. An Over Voltage Protection input is also
combined on the same pin and protects the whole circuitry in case of
optocoupler failure or adverse open loop operation.
Finally, a timer−based short−circuit protection offers the best
protection scheme, letting you precisely select the protection trip point
irrespective of a loose coupling between the auxiliary and the power
windings.

NCP1250
APPLICATION INFORMATION
Introduction
The NCP1250 implements a standard current mode
architecture where the switch−off event is dictated by the
peak current setpoint. This component represents the ideal
candidate where low part−count and cost effectiveness are
the key parameters, particularly in low−cost ac−dc adapters,
open−frame power supplies etc. Capitalizing on the
NCP120X series success, the NCP1250 packs all the
necessary components normally needed in today modern
power supply designs, bringing several enhancements such
as a non−dissipative OPP.
 Current−mode operation with internal ramp
compensation: Implementing peak current mode
control at a fixed 65 kHz or 100 kHz, the NCP1250
offers an internal ramp compensation signal that can
easily by summed with the sensed current. Sub
harmonic oscillations are eliminated via the inclusion of
a single resistor in series with the current−sense
information.
 Internal OPP: By routing a portion of the negative
voltage present during the on−time on the auxiliary
winding to the dedicated OPP pin (pin 3), the user has a
simple and non−dissipative means to alter the
maximum peak current setpoint as the bulk voltage
increases. If the pin is grounded, no OPP compensation
occurs. If the pin receives a negative voltage down to
–250 mV, then a peak current reduction down to 31.3%
typical can be achieved. For an improved performance,
the maximum voltage excursion on the sense resistor is
limited to 0.8 V.
 Low startup current: Achieving a low no−load
standby power always represents a difficult exercise
when the controller draws a significant amount of
current during start−up. Due to its proprietary
architecture, the NCP1250 is guaranteed to draw less
than 15 mA typical, easing the design of low standby
power adapters.
 EMI jittering: An internal low−frequency modulation
signal varies the pace at which the oscillator frequency
is modulated. This helps by spreading out energy in
conducted noise analysis. To improve the EMI
signature at low power levels, the jittering remains
active in frequency foldback mode.
 Frequency foldback capability: A continuous flow of
pulses is not compatible with no−load/light−load
standby power requirements. To excel in this domain,
the controller observes the feedback pin and when it
reaches a level of 1.5 V, the oscillator then starts to

reduce its switching frequency as the feedback level
continues to decrease. When the feedback pin reaches
1.05 V, the peak current setpoint is internally frozen and
the frequency continues to decrease. It can go down to
26 kHz (typical) reached for a feedback level of
roughly 350 mV. At this point, if the power continues to
drop, the controller enters classical skip−cycle mode.
Internal soft−start: A soft−start precludes the main
power switch from being stressed upon start−up. In this
controller, the soft−start is internally fixed to 4 ms. The
soft−start is activated when a new startup sequence
occurs or during an auto−recovery hiccup.
OVP input: The NCP1250 includes a latch input
(pin 3) that can be used to sense an overvoltage
condition on the adapter. If this pin is brought higher
than the internal reference voltage Vlatch, then the
circuit permanently latches off. The VCC pin is pulled
down to a fixed level, keeping the controller latched.
The latch reset occurs when the user disconnects the
adapter from the mains and lets the VCC falls below the
VCC reset.
Short−circuit protection: Short−circuit and especially
over−load protections are difficult to implement for
transformers with high leakage inductance between
auxiliary and power windings (the aux winding level
does not properly collapse in presence of an output
short). Here, every time the internal 0.8 V maximum
peak current limit is activated (or less when OPP is
used), an error flag is asserted and a time period starts,
thanks to an internal timer. If the timer reaches
completion while the error flag is still present, the
controller stops the pulses and goes into a latch−off
phase, operating in a low−frequency burst−mode. When
the fault is cleared, the SMPS resumes operation.
Please note that some versions offer an auto−recovery
mode as described and some latch off in case of a short
circuit.
Start−up Sequence
The NCP1250 start−up voltage is made purposely high to
permit a large energy storage in a small VCC capacitor value.
This helps to operate with a small start−up current which,
together with a small VCC capacitor, will not hamper the
start−up time. To further reduce the standby power, the
start−up current of the controller is extremely low, below
15 mA maximum. The start−up resistor can therefore be
connected to the bulk capacitor or directly to the mains input
voltage to further reduce the power dissipation.

Figure 39. The Startup Resistor Can Be Connected to the Input Mains for Further Power Dissipation Reduction
The first step starts with the calculation of the VCC
capacitor which will supply the controller when it operates
until the auxiliary winding takes over. Experience shows
that this time t1 can be between 5 ms and 20 ms. If we
consider we need at least an energy reservoir for a t1 time of
10 ms, the VCC capacitor must be larger than:
CV CC w
I CCt 1
VCC on * VCC min
3m
w
10m

This calculation is purely theoretical, and assumes a
constant charging current. In reality, the take over time can
be shorter (or longer!) and it can lead to a reduction of the
VCC capacitor. Hence, a decrease in charging current and an
increase of the start−up resistor, thus reducing the standby
power. Laboratory experiments on the prototype are thus
mandatory to fine tune the converter. If we chose the 413 kW
resistor as suggested by Equation 4, the dissipated power at
high line amounts to:
w 3.3 mF (eq. 1)
Let us select a 4.7 mF capacitor at first and experiments in
the laboratory will let us know if we were too optimistic for
the time t1. The VCC capacitor being known, we can now
evaluate the charging current we need to bring the VCC
voltage from 0 to the VCCon of the IC, 18 V typical. This
current has to be selected to ensure a start−up at the lowest
mains (85 V rms) to be less than 3 s (2.5 s for design margin):

Now that the first VCC capacitor has been selected, we
must ensure that the self−supply does not disappear when in
no−load conditions. In this mode, the skip−cycle can be so
deep that refreshing pulses are likely to be widely spaced,
inducing a large ripple on the VCC capacitor. If this ripple is
too large, chances exist to touch the VCCmin and reset the
controller into a new start−up sequence. A solution is to
grow this capacitor but it will obviously be detrimental to the
start−up time. The option offered in Figure 39 elegantly
solves this potential issue by adding an extra capacitor on the
auxiliary winding. However, this component is separated
from the VCC pin via a simple diode. You therefore have the
ability to grow this capacitor as you need to ensure the
self−supply of the controller without jeopardizing the
start−up time and standby power. A capacitor ranging from
22 to 47 mF is the typical value for this device.
One note on the start-up current. If reducing it helps to
improve the standby power, its value cannot fall below a
certain level at the minimum input voltage. Failure to inject
If we account for the 15 mA that will flow inside the
controller, then the total charging current delivered by the
start−up resistor must be 49 mA. If we connect the start−up
network to the mains (half−wave connection then), we know
that the average current flowing into this start−up resistor
will be the smallest when VCC reaches the VCCon of the
controller:

enough current (30 mA) at low line will turn a converter in
fault into an auto-recovery mode since the SCR won’t
remain latched. To build a sufficient design margin, we
recommend to keep at least 60 mA flowing at the lowest input
line (80 V rms for 85 V minimum for instance). An excellent
solution is to actually combine X2 discharge and start-up
networks as proposed in Figure 13 of application note

the current−sense offset. A way to reduce the power
capability at high line is to capitalize on the negative voltage
swing present on the auxiliary diode anode. During the
power switch on−time, this point dips to −NVin, N being the
turns ratio between the primary winding and the auxiliary
winding. The negative plateau observed on Figure 41 will
have an amplitude dependant on the input voltage. The idea
implemented in this chip is to sum a portion of this negative
swing with the 0.8 V internal reference level. For instance,
if the voltage swings down to −150 mV during the on time,
then the internal peak current set point will be fixed to 0.8 −
0.150 = 650 mV. The adopted principle appears in Figure 41
and shows how the final peak current set point is
constructed.
Internal Over Power Protection
There are several known ways to implement Over Power
Protection (OPP), all suffering from particular problems.
These problems range from the added consumption burden

clamped slightly below –300 mV which means that if more
current is injected before reaching the ESD forward drop,
then the maximum peak reduction is kept to 40%. If the
voltage finally forward biases the internal zener diode, then
care must be taken to avoid injecting a current beyond
–2 mA. Given the value of ROPPU, there is no risk in the
present example.
The OPP pin is surrounded by Zener diodes stacked to
protect the pin against ESD pulses. These diodes accept
some peak current in the avalanche mode and are designed
to sustain a certain amount of energy. On the other side,
negative injection into these diodes (or forward bias) can
cause substrate injection which can lead to an erratic circuit
behavior. To avoid this problem, the pin is internally

foldback and reduces its switching frequency. The peak
current setpoint follows the feedback pin until its level
reaches 1.05 V. Below this value, the peak current freezes to
Vfold/4.2 (250 mV or 31% of the maximum 0.8 V setpoint)
and the only way to further reduce the transmitted power is
to reduce the operating frequency down to 26 kHz. This
value is reached at a voltage feedback level of 350 mV
typically. Below this point, if the output power continues to
decrease, the part enters skip cycle for the best noise−free
performance in no−load conditions. Figure 43 depicts the
adopted scheme for the part.
Finally, please note that another comparator internally
fixes the maximum peak current set point to 0.8 V even if the
OPP pin is inadvertently biased above 0 V.
Frequency Foldback
The reduction of no−load standby power associated with
the need for improving the efficiency, requires a change to
the traditional fixed−frequency type of operation. This
controller implements a switching frequency foldback when
the feedback voltage passes below a certain level, Vfold, set
around 1.5 V. At this point, the oscillator enters frequency

due to the resistive starting network. When VCC reaches
VCCON, the controller attempts to re−start, checking for the
absence of the fault. If the fault is still there, the supply enters
another cycle of so−called hiccup mode. If the fault has
cleared, the power supply resumes normal operation. Please
note that the soft−start is activated during each of the re−start
sequence.
In case of output short−circuit or if the power supply
experiences a severe overloading situation, an internal error
flag is raised and starts a countdown timer. If the flag is
asserted longer than 100 ms, the driving pulses are stopped
and the VCC pin slowly goes down to around 7 V. At this
point, the controller wakes−up and the VCC builds up again

Latching Off the Controller
In our flyback design, let’s assume that our primary
inductance Lp is 770 mH, and the SMPS delivers 19 V with
a Np :Ns ratio of 1:0.25. The off−time primary current slope
Sp is thus given by:
The OPP pin not only allows a reduction of the peak
current set point in relationship to the line voltage, it also
offers a means to permanently latch−off the part. When the
part is latched−off, the VCC pin is internally pulled down to
around 7 V and the part stays in this state until the user cycles
the VCC down and up again, e.g. by un−plugging the
converter from the mains outlet. It is important to note that
the SCR maintains its latched state as long as the injected
current stays above the minimum value of 30 mA. As the
SCR delatches for an injected current below this value, it is
the designer duty to make sure the injected current is high
enough at the lowest input voltage. Failure to maintain a
sufficiently high current would make the device auto
recover. A good design practice is to ensure at least 60 mA
at the lowest input voltage. The latch detection is made by
observing the OPP pin by a comparator featuring a 3 V
reference voltage. However, for noise reasons and in
particular to avoid the leakage inductance contribution at
turn off, a 1 ms blanking delay is introduced before the
output of the OVP comparator is checked. Then, the OVP
comparator output is validated only if its high−state duration
lasts a minimum of 600 ns. Below this value, the event is
ignored. Then, a counter ensures that 4 successive OVP
events have occurred before actually latching the part. There
are several possible implementations, depending on the
needed precision and the parameters you want to control.
The first and easiest solution is the additional resistive
divider on top of the OPP one. This solution is simple and
inexpensive but requires the insertion of a diode to prevent
disturbing the OPP divider during the on time.

If we select 50% of the downslope as the required amount

adding a small capacitor of 100 pF, from the current sense
pin to the controller ground for an improved immunity to the
noise. Please make sure both components are located very
close to the controller.

For this configuration to maintain an 18 V level, we have
selected a 15 V Zener diode. In nominal conditions, the
voltage on the OPP pin is almost 0 V during the off time as
the Zener is fully blocked. This technique clearly improves
the noise immunity of the system compared to that obtained
from a resistive string as in Figure 46. Please note the
reduction of the capacitor on the OPP pin to 10 pF − 22 pF.
This capacitor is necessary because of the potential spike
coupling through the Zener parasitic capacitance from the
bias winding due to the leakage inductance. Despite the 1 ms
blanking delay at turn off. This spike is energetic enough to
charge the added capacitor C1 and given the time constant,
could make it discharge slower, potentially disturbing the
blanking circuit. When implementing the Zener option, it is
important to carefully observe the OPP pin voltage (short
Over Temperature Protection
In a lot of designs, the adapter must be protected against
thermal runaways, e.g. when the temperature inside the
adapter box increases above a certain value. Figure 48
shows how to implement a simple OTP using an external
NTC and a series diode. The principle remains the same:
make sure the OPP network is not affected by the additional
NTC hence the presence of this isolation diode. When the
NTC resistance decreases as the temperature increases, the
voltage on the OPP pin during the off time will slowly
increase and, once it passes 3 V for 4 consecutive clock
cycles, the controller will permanently latch off.

Back to our 19 V adapter, we have found that the plateau
voltage on the auxiliary diode was 13 V in nominal
conditions. We have selected an NTC which offers a
resistance of 470 kW at 25C and drops to 8.8 kW at 110C.
If our auxiliary winding plateau is 14 V and we consider a
0.6 V forward drop for the diode, then the voltage across the
NTC in fault mode must be:
V NTC + 14 * 3 * 0.6 + 10.4 V
limit at the chosen output power level. Suppose we need a
200 mV decrease from the 0.8 V set point and the on−time
swing on the auxiliary anode is −67.5 V, then we need to drop
over ROPPU a voltage of:
V ROPPU + 67.5 * 0.2 + 67.3 V
The current flowing in the pulldown resistor ROPPL in this
condition will be:

Figure 49. With the NTC Back in Place, the Circuit Nicely Combines OVP, OTP and OPP on the Same Pin
Zener diode and the series diode. To prevent an adverse
triggering of the Over Voltage Protection circuitry, it is
possible to install a small RC filter before the detection
network. Typical values are those given in Figure 50 and
must be selected to provide the adequate filtering function
without degrading the stand−by power by an excessive
current circulation.
In nominal VCC / output conditions, when the Zener is not
activated, the NTC can drive the OPP pin and trigger the
adapter in case of an over temperature. During nominal
temperature if the loop is broken, the voltage runaway will
be detected and the controller will shut down the converter.
In case the OPP pin is not used for either OPP or OVP, it
can simply be grounded.
Filtering the Spikes
The auxiliary winding is the seat of spikes that can couple
to the OPP pin via the parasitic capacitances exhibited by the
