OVERVIEW
The C2472, C2473 and C2474 controllers use CamSemi’s Resonant Discontinuous Forward Converter
(RDFC) topology to create a high efficiency, low cost alternative to line-frequency transformer PSUs. By
operating in resonant mode, EMI is greatly reduced, enabling the replacement of linear PSUs in demanding
applications such as audio products and cordless phone chargers. The C2472, C2473 and C2474 controllers
also offer overload protection which is usually associated with more expensive switch mode solutions.

PIN DEFINITIONS
Figure 2: C2472, C2473 and C2474 Pin Assignment
(drawings are not to scale)
VDD Pin
The VDD pin supplies power to the controller and is maintained at the correct voltage (nominally 3.3 V) by an
internal shunt regulator.
COL Pin
The COL pin is used to sense the collector voltage of the primary switching transistor, via a c oupling
capacitor, to control the timing and current levels of the signals produced on the BAS pin.
CS Pin
The CS pin senses the primary switch current via the current sensing resistor. The voltage sensed on this
pin is used to control the operating modes to manage standby and overload protection. Operating
characteristics are programmed via two external resistors.
AUX Pin
The AUX pin provides the supply current for the internal base driver block. In most applications, the AUX pin
is connected to the external supply rail via an NPN transistor and a current-limiting resistor to set the
maximum base current; however, in low power applications the AUX pin can be connected to the VDD pin
via the limiting resistor, with some compromise on the standby power consumption.
BAS Pin
The BAS pin switches the external bipolar primary switch transistor on and off. The current supplied to the
switch transistor is controlled to minimize the switching losses and thereby help optimize overall system
efficiency.
GND Pin
GND pins provide the ground reference. Where the device has multiple GND pins, all must be connected to
a common, low impedance path.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Power-Up/Power-Down Sequences
The C2472, C2473 and C2474 controllers are powered via their VDD pins. When mains voltage is first
applied, a small amount of current (I DDSLEEP) is drawn from the rectified mains input via high value start up
resistors (Rht1 and Rht2 in Figure 3). When the voltage on the VDD pin (VDD) reaches a level V OVDTHR the
controller wakes up, demands more supply current (I DDWAKE) and enters the Start-up state (see Figure 4).
The controller stays in Start-up for a short time during which internal circuit blocks are enabled and then
changes to Active operation. In both Start-up and Active states, the controller uses an internal shunt
regulator to regulate the V DD rail voltage; the regulator is disabled in Sleep. A higher regulation voltage is
applied during Start-up (VDDREG(S)) than during Active operation (VDDREG(R)) to help provide sufficient VDD
before the Auxiliary supply from the transformer rises to maintain VDD .
VDDREG(R)
VDDREG(S)
If the VDD pin voltage drops below V UVDTHR the controller goes back to Sleep, redu cing the supply current
demand. The system will restart when input power is restored. To achieve a smooth power up sequence the
VDD reservoir capacitor needs to be large enough to sustain the supply above V UVDTHR over the Start-up
period.
Figure 4: VDD Pin Waveform (VDD) During Initial Power-up and Power-down
State
Description
Sleep
From initial application of power or from Active state if VDD falls below VUVDTHR, the
controller changes to Sleep state. Non-essential controller circuits are powered down
and the external switching transistor (Q1) is held off. Exit from Sleep state occurs when
VDD rises above VOVDTHR and the controller moves to the Start-up state.
Start-up
When the Start-up state is entered, internal controller circuits are activated and power
conversion begins (Standby mode – see Table 2). In Start-up the on-chip shunt
regulator stabilises VDD to an intermediate value, VDDREG(S). After a preset time, the
controller changes from Start-up to Active operation.
Active
Converter operation continues, the shunt regulator controls VDD to the lower VDDREG(R).
If VDD falls below VUVDTHR the controller ceases converter operation and reverts to
Sleep state.

Start-up and Active State Power Conversion Modes
In the Start-up and Active states the C2472, C2473 and C2474 ICs have several modes for controlling power
conversion that are designed to achieve maximum efficiency and to limit power (current) across a wide range
of loads. Refer to Table 2 for a summary of each mode.
Mode
Typical Load
Range
Description
Standby
IOUT ≥ 0% to
~20% of rated
current
Standby mode reduces power consumption at low loads. It achieves this by
progressively reducing the on-time then by increasing the off-time as the load
decreases. As load increases, the converter duty is increased until the controller
returns to Normal mode. Typically, mains ripple causes change of operating mode
during each mains half-cycle, with the converter moving to lower-power modes
between peaks of the mains voltage.
Normal
IOUT > ~20% to
100% of rated
current
Normal mode is used for steady state power delivery. During Normal mode the power
device switches in a fully resonant minimum-voltage-switching waveform, with the offtime determined by the transformer resonance (TRES) and the on-time being equal to
75% of the off time. A low level of primary switch current, sensed via the CS pin
voltage, causes the controller to change to Standby mode and a high level to Overload
mode.
Overload
IOUT >~100%
rated current
Overload mode is activated at high output loads. In this mode the on-time of the
primary switch is terminated early (before 75% of TRES) when the primary current
exceeds a preset maximum, thereby protecting the primary switch and limiting the
output current. This results in reduction of the output voltage. Heavy overload (sensed
by the on-period of the primary switch reducing below a preset time) causes Foldback
mode to be entered.
Foldback
VOUT < ~70%
rated output
Foldback mode is entered from the Overload mode. In this mode the controller reduces
the on/off duty cycle to protect the power supply and any connected load by both
shortening the on-period and increasing the off-period of the primary switch. Converter
cycles continue to maintain auxiliary power to the controller. The controller exits the
Foldback mode and enters the Power Burst mode after a fixed number of power
conversion cycles.
Power
Burst
VOUT < ~70%
rated output
Power Burst mode is entered periodically from Foldback mode in order to restart the
power supply output. In Power Burst mode, the controller operates at maximum
delivered power for a set number of power converter cycles. At the end of the burst, if
the load is not excessive, the converter goes to Normal mode; otherwise it reverts to
Foldback mode.
Table 2: Summary of Active Operating Modes
When the controller goes from Sleep to Start-up state, its power conversion mode is set to Standby. Typically
the converter output voltage is low at this time so the primary switch current is high during the first few
converter cycles. This causes the operating mode to change quickly to Normal or Overload mode.

RDFC Power Supply I-V Characteristic
Figure 5 illustrates a typical RDFC power supply characteristic with the various Active state modes of
operation identified. INOM and VNOM are the nominal output voltage and current drawn by the load at the rated
power of the application circuit.

The exact thresholds for transition between modes depend on specific application characteristics, controller
internal clock frequency (FCLK) and CS pin thresholds (VOCPH and VOCPL). These parameters and their effects

Resonance Control
The natural resonance of the transformer and associated components is deduced from the current flowing
into and out of the COL pin via the collector coupling capacitor.
The voltage sensed on the COL pin is used to control saturation of the primary switch transistor (Q1 in
Figure 3) during the on-period (see “Optimised Base Drive”). During the off-period, timing of the resonance is
detected via the current in and out of the pin , which has a low impedance path to GND during this time. Rate
of change of voltage at the transformer primary causes current into or out of the COL pin, which is processed
to measure the resonance period T RES and to find the optimum turn-on time for the following conversion
cycle. The resonant period is also used to determine the maximum on -time of the primary switch transistor,
so that
T ON = 0.75 x T RES
The maximum duty cycle (D NORMAL) is therefore nominally 43%. On-time of the switch is controlled to manage
power delivery and is reduced in both low-load and overload conditions. The minimum on-time in overload is
determined by the internal CS blanking, specified as T CSBLANK.
At turn-on of the primary switching transistor, its collector voltage can fall very rapidly, with correspondingly
large current out of or in to the COL pin via the coupling capacitor (Ccol). An on-chip clamp transistor,
controlled by an internal signal called ACTICLAMP, provides a low resistance path to GND. This transistor is
turned on shortly before turn-on of the primary switch and remains on until time T ACT after turn-on of the
primary switch. It is then turned off during the remainder of the primary switch on-period. In some
applications, the current through the coupling capacitor may develop sufficient voltage across the clamp
transistor to cause conduction of the ESD protection diodes. This is permissible up to a limit ICOL which is
specified in ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS. If, due to application design, the capacitor current could
exceed this level, external protection diodes and a resistor must be provided ( Dcol1, Dcol2 and Rcol in
Figure 3).

Optimised Base Drive
To minimize losses in the primary switching transistor (Q1) its base current is carefully controlled. To
minimize turn-on losses, the base current is initially forced to a maximum value I BASMAX for a time T FON (the
force-on or “FON” pulse). For the remainder of the on-time the base current is reduced to a lower value such
that the on-state collector voltage is maintained at a preset target voltage, thereby minimizing turn-off time
and consequent losses. During this period, T PBD, the so called “proportional base drive” (PBD) current is
referred to as IBASPBD.

The BAS pin (see Figure 7) is driven by two transistors, Qon and Qoff. Qon provides I BASMAX during T FON and
IBASPBD during the remainder of the on-period. Transistor Qoff provides a low-resistance (RBASCLAMP) path to
GND during the off-period to ensure rapid turn-off of the primary switch, Q1. I BASPBD is set by the PBD system
within the controller but IBASMAX is determined by the external resistor Raux and the Aux Supply voltage.

IBASPBD is controlled by monitoring the voltage at the COL pin during T PBD; base current is increased
progressively as VCOL rises above threshold V CREF(see Figure 9). The desired on-state V CE of the switching
transistor is set by capacitors Cp and Ccol (see Figure 3), the COL pin capacitance (CINCOL) and VCREF.

Power Control
Load conditions are sensed on a cycle-by-cycle basis via the CS pin. When low levels of output power
demand are detected, the controller progressively reduces the switching duty cycle to reduce power
consumption and to improve output voltage regulation. Power demand causes increase in duty up to the
maximum, or until Overload is detected.
The voltage at the CS pin is compared to two thresholds, one nominally a t GND voltage (VOCPL) to generate
an internal signal OCPL and the other at a negative threshold (VOCPH) to generate an internal signal OCPH.
The controller samples OCPL a short time (T OCPL) after turn-on of the primary switch. A negative voltage at
the CS pin indicates power demand so the controller increases the switching duty up to the maximum;
conversely a positive voltage causes a decrease in duty.
Excessive primary switch current, detected via OCPH, terminates the on -period of the primary switch to limit
power delivery (Overload mode). High levels of overload (when the converter output voltage held is low by
the load) causes OCPH to trigger soon after turn-on of the primary switch. This condition is detected by the
controller sampling OCPH at time T FBTHR after turn-on. If OCPH triggers within this time, the controller
changes to Foldback mode. To prevent mis-triggering, OCPH is blanked for a short period T CSBLANK after
turn-on.

Protection Features
Collector De-saturation (Over Voltage) Protection (COVP)
To protect the primary switch from excessive power dissipation , the on-state voltage of the primary switching
transistor is limited by the controller. The controller will go to Foldback mode if the COL pin voltage is greater
than VCOVP at the end of the on-time for four consecutive cycles.
Over-temperature Protection (OTP)
Temperature sensing is integrated with the controller. If the temperature of the die rises above the shutdown
temperature, T SH, the BAS output is inhibited. It restarts once the temperature has fallen more than T SH (HYST)
below T SH. In typical applications “hiccup” operation will occur. While BAS is inhibited, the device is active
and draws IDDW AKE. This causes VDD to fall since auxiliary power is not provided by the transformer. Once VDD
reaches VUVDTHR, the controller enters the Sleep state and IDD falls to I DDSLEEP allowing VDD to rise again (via
the resistors Vht1 and Vht2). When VDD reaches VOVDTHR reset occurs and the controller re-starts. If the die
temperature is below T SH, BAS operation continues but if it is still above T SH, BAS operation ceases after a
short period and the hiccup cycle repeats.
Primary Switch Over-current Protection (OCP)
To protect the primary switch, the base drive is turned off if the primary switch current rises too high, sensed
via the CS input voltage falling below a preset negative threshold VOCPH. See also Power Control on page
10.
Output Overload/Short-circuit Protection
If the application circuit is overloaded beyond a certain limit the controller goes into Foldback mode with
reduced duty cycle, protecting the primary switch by reducing its power dissipation. Transition to Foldback
mode is triggered by the CS pin voltage crossing the VOCPH threshold within a time T FBTHR of the start of the
FON pulse. This typically happens when the load holds the output voltage low. See also Power Control on
page 10.
Under Voltage Protection
The controller is prevented from operating if the V DD supply is inadequate (VDD < V UVDTHR). Once the
controller has stopped operation it will not restart until the VDD supply voltage rises above V OVDTHR.
