1. Outline
FA5526/27/28/36/37/38 series are current-mode switching power control ICs that can directly drive power MOSFETs.
Low-power dissipation is achieved due to adoption of high break-down voltage CMOS process. In addition, stand-by power
consumption can substantially be reduced due to a built-in start-up circuit. Many functions are incorporated in an eight pin
package, reducing the number of external parts and allowing compact and high cost performance power supply
2. Features
▪ Built-in start-up circuit of 500V break-down voltage that is cut off after start-up (input current after cutoff: 25µA (typ.))
▪ Low power dissipation due to adoption of high break-down voltage CMOS process
Supply Current in Operating Mode : 1.4mA (typ.)
( for FA5528 and FA5538 )
▪ Built-in frequency-decreasing function at light load
▪ Oscillating frequency
FA5526/5536 : 130kHz(typ.), FA5527/5537 : 100kHz(typ.), FA5528/5538 : 60kHz(typ.)
▪ Built-in latch-mode cutoff function of overload ( over current ) for FA5526/5527/5528
▪ Built-in Auto-Recovery cutoff function of overload ( over current ) for FA5536/5537/5538
▪ Built-in latch-mode cutoff function of over-voltage for 28V(typ.) at VCC pin for FA5526/5527/5528.
▪ Built-in Auto-Recovery-mode cutoff function of over-voltage for 28V(typ.) at VCC pin for FA5536/5537/5538.
▪ Built-in Under Voltage Lock-Out for VCC pin (15V : ON, 9V : OFF)
▪ 8 pins package(DIP / SO)

9. Description of block circuits
(1) Start-up circuit
protection.” ).
The FA5526/27/28/36/37/38 has built-in start-up
circuits with maximum rated voltage of 500V.
Wiring is shown in Figs.1 to 3.
When power is turned on, a current is supplied to the
VCC pin from the start-up circuit, charging the capacitor,
C2, connected to the VCC pin, increasing its voltage,
activating the IC, and the power supply starts operation.
The current supplied to the VCC pin from the VH pin is
approximately 6.8mA at Vcc=0V, decreases as Vcc
increases and becomes approximately 6.1mA at the
start-up voltage.
A resistor is connected in series to the
VH pin to prevent the IC from being damaged due to
surge in AC and other lines.
Fig.1 shows the commonest wiring, connecting the VH
pin to half-wave rectified AC input voltage and taking the
Fig.1
Start-up circuit 1 (half wave)
Fig.2
Start-up circuit 2 (full wave)
longest start-up time of the three ways of wiring. When
AC input voltage is turned off after the circuit changed to
a latch mode due to overload or overvoltage protection,
the latch mode can be reset in a relatively short time of
several seconds because a current is not supplied from
the VH pin.
In Fig.2, the VH pin is connected to full-wave rectified
AC input voltage, reducing start-up time to approximately
half as compared to half-wave rectification circuit shown
in Fig.1. The latch mode can be reset in a short time
same as in Fig.1 because AC input voltage is cut off.
In Fig.3, the VH pin is connected to rectified and
smoothed AC input voltage, resulting in the shortest
start-up time of the three ways of wiring. In this way of
wiring, it takes time for the latch mode to be reset
because charged C1 voltage is applied to the VH pin
even if the IC have changed to the latch mode.
Depending on usage conditions, in general it takes
several minutes.
When VCC pin voltage exceeds ON threshold voltage
of the low-voltage malfunction-protective circuit
and the
IC is activated, the start-up circuit is cut off and VH pin
input current becomes 25uA (typ.).
When IC enters to the latch mode due to any
abnormal condition, the start-up circuit is activated
again, the latch condition is maintained and Vcc voltage
is held at approximately 23V. Here, FA5526/27/28
enters to the latch mode by overload or over-voltage,
Fig.3
Start-up circuit 3 (DC)
but FA5536/37/38 does not enter to the latch mode
without an additional external circuit (See “9.-(8)/(9)

(2) Oscillator
The oscillator determines switching frequency. For
steady operation at heavy load, the oscillating frequency
is set at 130kHz for FA5526/36, 100kHz for FA5527/37
or 60kHz for FA5528/38 inside the IC.
In addition, the IC has a function to automatically
decrease oscillating frequency at light load to reduce
standby power dissipation. When FB pin voltage
becomes 1.05V or less at light load, the frequency starts
decreasing.
At light load, as FB pin voltage drops, the frequency
decreases almost linearly to the minimum operating
frequency (Fig.4). The minimum operating frequency,
Fig.4
Oscillating frequency
Fmin, is set at 1.1kHz.
The

(4) Blanking
When MOSFET turns on, a surge current is generated
due to discharge current from the capacitor in the main
circuit or gate drive current. If the surge current reaches
the IS pin threshold voltage, current comparator output
could be inverted and normal pulses would not be
generated from the OUT pin.
To avoid this, a blanking function is incorporated into
the current comparator. When a trigger signal is input
from the oscillator, the blanking circuit outputs a
certain-width pulse signal as a PWM latch (F.F.) set
signal.
Since the set signal is given a high priority in PWM
latch input signals, the output of PWM latch (F.F.) will not
be inverted while the set signal is input from the blanking
circuit, even if a rest signal is input from the current
comparator (IS comp.).
As a result, the IS pin input voltage is ignored for a
blanking
time
(200ns
for
FA5526/36,
400ns
for
FA5527/37 and 600ns for FA5528/38) immediately after
an output pulse has been generated from the OUT pin
and does not respond to a surge current at turn-on.
(See Fig.8.)
Fig.8
Blanking
In general, the blanking circuit eliminates the need for
a noise filter at the IS pin.

FA5526/5527/5528/5536/5537/5538
(5) Minimum ON pulse width
As described in “(4) Blanking,” the input voltage at the
IS pin is ignored during a blanking period right after
turn-on. Consequently, the sum of blanking time and
output delay time (100ns) is the minimum ON pulse
width at the OUT pin of the IC. The minimum ON pulse
width for FA5526/36, FA5527/37 and FA5528/38 are
300ns, 500ns and 700ns, respectively.
In addition, a dedicated comparator is incorporated not
to generate pulses at no load.
When FB pin voltage is below 0.28V or CS pin voltage
is below 0.68V, the output of the comparator is inverted
and a clear signal “CLR” is input to the blanking circuit.
Then, the blanking circuit will not output a set signal and
no set signals will be input to PMW latch (F.F.), keeping
the output voltage low.
(See “9-(14) Timing chart.”)

pin and CS pin are constant.

4µA.
If the power supply voltage continues to decrease and
CS pin voltage reaches the threshold voltage (8.5V) of
the comparator (Latch), the output of the comparator
(Latch) is inverted, turning off a 5V circuit in the IC and
forcing OUT pin voltage to be low.
This status is the latch mode of the IC. In the latch
mode, the start-up circuit resumes operation to supply
current to Vcc and to hold the latch mode.

When the output voltage momentarily drops due to
abrupt load change and FB pin voltage restores to the
voltage at steady state before CS pin voltage reaches 8.5V,
the 4V clamp circuit restarts, producing no latch mode.
The latch mode can be reset through cutting off input

In addition, when CS pin voltage is forcibly decreased,

( only for FA5526 / 5527 / 5528 )
In the latch mode, an internal power supply source, 5V
“Reg” circuit, is turned off and OUT pin voltage is held to
be low., and the current form the CS pin changes to 5µA.
The latch mode can be reset through decreasing Vcc
voltage due to cutting off of input voltage or through
forcibly decreasing CS pin voltage to 7.4V or less.
Moreover, pay attention to the relationship between wiring
at the VH pin and reset time in the latch mode.
(See “9-(1) Start-up circuit.”)
(11) Over-Voltage Protection of FA5536/37/38
FA5536, FA5537 and FA5538 have built-in over-voltage
protection ( OVP ) circuits to monitor Vcc voltage similar
to FA5526/27/28.
However, the OVP of FA5536/37/38 is Auto-Recovery
mode.
Therefore, when you need the OVP as latch mode, the
Fig.17
additional external circuit is necessary as mentioned on
Over-Voltage protection timing chart
( only for FA5526 / 5527 / 5528 )
page 28 to 29 ( See “10-(4)” ).
(12) Under-Voltage Lock-Out circuit
The IC has a built-in undervoltage lockout circuit to
prevent malfunction when Vcc voltage drops. When Vcc
voltage increases from 0V, the IC starts operation at Vcc =
15V (typ.). As the supply voltage decreases, the IC stops
operation at Vcc = 9V(typ.).
When the undervoltage lockout circuits operates and
the IC stops operation, OUT pin and CS pin voltage are
forced to be low, resetting soft start, and overload and
overvoltage timer latch protection.

(13) Output circuit
The output circuit consists of push-pull configuration, capable of directly driving a MOSFET. The maximum peak
currents at the OUT pin are 0.25A for source current and 0.5A for sink current.
If the IC stops operation when the under-voltage lockout circuit operates or in the latch mode, OUT pin voltage is
forced to be low to shut down the MOSFET.

We recommend that you choose the capacitance
connected to VCC pin so that the bottom of Vcc becomes
larger than 11V as the result of typical experiment.

When Vcc capacitance is too small, Vcc drops to the
OFF threshold voltage as shown in Fig.25 before the
auxiliary winding voltage increases sufficiently. In this case,
Vcc repeatedly goes up and down between the ON and
OFF threshold voltages, and the power supply can not
start up.
(1-3) At stopping
When the power supply is turned off by shutdown of
input voltage, output voltage remains low for certain period
of time before the IC stops operation.
Fig.25
Vcc waveform at start-up (2)
(when the power supply can not start up)
During this period, FB pin voltage increases and the CS
pin clamp circuit is cancelled because output voltage
remains low. As a result, CS pin voltage increases as
shown in Fig.26.

period of time until Vcc capacitor voltage drops to OFF

re-started even if input voltage is turned on again.
In such a case, the following measures shall be taken:

(3) Protection using CS pin for FA5526/27/28
In steady operation, the CS pin voltage is clamped by a
4V zener diode. Externally forcing CS pin voltage to
increase to the threshold voltage, 8.5V, for the latch mode
allows the IC to stop its operation for protection.
In this case, a current of more than the sink capacity of
4V zener diode, 84uA, shall be applied to the CS pin.
Set the input current to the CS pin at 1mA or less as a
guide.
The following shows examples of overvoltage protection
at an arbitrary voltage using the CS pin.
(3-1) Overvoltage detection on the secondary side
Fig.29
Over Voltage protection (1) for FA5526/27/28
Fig.29 shows an example of an overload detection
circuit on the secondary side to change the IC into the
latch mode.
(3-2) Detection of Vcc (1)
Fig.30 shows a circuit where the IC is stopped in the
latch mode upon detecting Vcc overvoltage. In this case,
Vcc voltage is latched at approximately ZD+8.5V.
Use a ZD whose voltage is larger than the ON threshold
voltage of the low-voltage malfunction preventive circuit.
Otherwise, the IC cannot start.
(3-3) Detection of Vcc (2)
Fig.30
Over Voltage protection (2) for FA5526/27/28
Fig.31
Over Voltage protection (3) for FA5526/27/28
Fig.32
Over Voltage protection (1) for FA5536/37/38
Fig.31 shows another circuit to detect Vcc overvoltage.
In this case, Vcc voltage is latched approximately at ZD
voltage.
Use a ZD whose voltage is larger than the ON threshold
voltage of the low-voltage malfunction preventive circuit.
Otherwise, the IC cannot start.
(4) Protection using CS pin for FA5536/37/38
FA5536/37/38 does not include any latch function.
Therefore, the external latch circuit is necessary for
Over-Voltage Protection as latch mode. Fig.32 shows
the OVP latch circuit by primary side detection at VCC pin
and Fig.33 shows the OVP latch circuit by secondary side
detection through a optocoupler “PC”.
When CS pin voltage is pulled down below 0.68V ( typ. ),
the switching is shut-down. Once the NPN transistor “Q2”
and “Q3” turn-on when the diode “ZD1” or optocoupler
“PC” supplies the current to resistor “R1” by detection of
Over-Voltage, PNP transistor “Q1” turns-on and “Q2” and
“Q3” are maintained in ON-State.
Then, CS pin voltage is maintained at low level until the
current of a diode ZD2 is cut VCC pin voltage decreases
below OFF threshold ( 9V ) .

(5) When not using an overload protection
function
As shown in Fig.34, connect a resistor R3 of 18k ohm
between FB pin and GND.
As a result, FB pin voltage does not increase to the
threshold voltage for overload protection and the IC does
not change to the latch mode even at overload.
In this case, the latch protection for over-voltage is also
available.
(6) Correction of overload detection current
( Line Conversation )
If the power supply output becomes overload, the
current of the MOSFET is limited by the maximum
Fig.33
Over Voltage protection (2) for FA5536/37/38
Fig.34
When not using overload protection
threshold voltage of the IS pin and power supply voltage
drops. If the state continues as it is, an overload protection
function operates to stop the IC in the latch mode. For
details of an overload protection function, see “9-(8)
Overload protection function.”
When the overload protection operates, the output
current of the power supply varies depending on the input
voltage; and the higher the input voltage is, the larger the
output current.
In such a case, connect R4 between the current
detection resistor Rs and IS pin, and add a correction
resistor R5 as shown in Fig.35. The typical resistance of
R5 is several hundreds of k ohm to several Meg ohm. Note
that the above correction slightly decreases the value of
overload current limit to stop the IC in the latch mode even
if input voltage is low.

(7) Improvement of input power at light load
This IC is provided with a function to lower switching
frequency at light load in order to reduce power dissipation.
However, depending on the circuit used, switching
frequency cannot be sufficiently reduced, leading to
insufficient reduction of power dissipation at light load.
In such a case, connect R6 between the auxiliary winding
and the IS pin as shown in Fig.36. When R4 is 1k ohm, R6
is several hundreds of k ohm to 1Meg ohm. The smaller the
R6 is, the lower the switching frequency at light load.
However, negative voltage is applied to the IS pin due to
R6 for some time while MOSFET is ON. Be aware that the
negative voltage shall not be lower than absolute maximum
rationg,-0.3V.
Fig.36
Input power improvement circuit at light load
In addition, when switching frequency is set too low at
light load, transformer or other apparatus may produce
noise.
(8) Prevention of malfunction caused by noise
This IC is an analog IC, and noise applied to anyone of
the pins may cause malfunction. If malfunction is detected,
use the IC through referring to the following description and
fully checking a power supply unit.
In addition, arrange the capacitors connected to pins as
close to the IC as possible and take great care of wiring, for
effective noise suppression.

comparator. Any noise applied to the FB pin may disturb
output pulses. Usually the capacitor C5 is connected as
shown in Fig.37 to suppress noise.
(8-2) IS pin
As described in “9.-(4) Blanking,” this IC has a blanking
function, and malfunction caused by a surge current
produced at turn-on of the MOSFET is hard to occur.
A malfunction, however, may occur when a surge current
is excessively large or when any noise is externally applied
at other than turn-off.
In such a case, add a CR filter to the IS pin as shown in
Fig.38.
Fig.38
(8-3) VCC pin
Prevention of malfunction caused by noise
(IS pin)
Relatively large noise may occur at the VCC pin because
a large current flows from the VCC pin at the instant of
driving the MOSFET. If noise is excessively large, a
malfunction may occur of the IC. Pay full attention to
capacitance and characteristics of the capacitor between
the VCC pin and GND to reduce noise as much as possible.

(9) Over Temperature Protection as latch mode
for FA5526 / 27 / 28
Over Temperature Protection as latch mode can be
achieved by the circuit shown in Fig.39 for FA5526/27/28.
Here, a diode D1 connected to separated line from VCC
pin, because the start-up time of IC may become too long
when the circuit including a thermistor is connected to VCC
pin of IC directly.
Please note that the circuit shown in Fig. 39 can not be
used for FA5536/37/38, because FA5536/37/38 does not
include any latch function.
(10) Prevention of malfunction caused by
negative voltage applied to pins

When a large negative voltage is applied to a pin, a
parasitic element in the IC may operate and cause a

may be applied to the OUT pin via the parasitic
capacitance of the MOSFET, resulting in the negative
voltage applied to the OUT pin.
In such a case, connect a Shottky diode between each
pin and GND. Forward voltage of the Shottky diode can
suppress negative voltage at each pin. Use a Shottky
diode with low forward voltage.
Fig.40 shows an example of a circuit with a Shottky
diode connected to the OUT pin.

Negative voltage prevention circuit
(11) Gate circuit configuration
A resistor is generally inserted between the gate
terminal of the MOSFET and the OUT pin of the IC for
adjustment of switching speed, suppression of voltage
oscillation at the gate terminal and other purposes.
Sometimes, the drive currents for turning-on and -off
must independently determined.
In such a case, connect the gate terminal of the
MOSFET and OUT pin of the IC as shown in Fig.41 or
Fig.42.
In Fig.41, the driving current is limited by Rg1 + Rg2 at

In Fig.42 the driving current is limited by only RG1 at
turn-on and by parallel-connected Rg1 and Rg2 at
turn-off.

(12) Loss calculation
IC loss shall be determined to use the IC within its rating.
Since it is hard to directly measure IC loss, an example of
calculating approximate IC loss is given below.
Total IC loss, Pd, is obtained by the following equation:
Pd = Vcc * ( Iccop1 + Qg * f ) + VVH * IHrun
Where Vcc is the supply voltage to the IC, Iccop1 is
consumption current of the IC, Qg is total gate charge of
the MOSFET, f is switching frequency, VVH is VH pin
voltage and IHrun is a current flowing into the VH pin when
the IC operates.
This equation gives an approximate value of Pd, which
is a little greater than the actual loss. Take into
consideration variation and temperature characteristics of
each value
(Example)
When the VH pin is connected to half-wave rectification
waveform at power supply of 264Vac, the average VH pin
voltage is approximately 119V.
Under above condition, let us suppose Vcc = 18V and
Qg = 80nC at Tj = 25 degree.
When using FA5528 or FA5538, according to the
specifications IHrun = 25uA = 0.025mA ( typ. ), Iccop1 =
1.4mA ( typ. ) and f = 60kHz = 0.06MHz ( typ.).
Thus, typical IC loss Pd:
Pd = 18V * ( 1.4mA + 80nC * 0.06MHz ) + 119V * 0.025mA
= 115mW ( typ. )

Sub-harmonic oscillation and slope
compensation
In a peak-value-control current mode, when the
converter operates in an inductor-current continuous mode
and at duty cycle of 50% or more, the current may oscillate
at an integral multiple of switching frequency. This
oscillation is called subharmonic oscillation.
Fig.43
Inductor current without slope compensation
Fig. 43 shows an example of inductor current waveform
when a subharmonic oscillation occurs.
It is found that ON and OFF periods vary while the peak
value of an inductor current, switching cycle and current
slopes during ON and OFF periods remain unchanged.
The harmonic oscillation may increase ripple voltage
contained in the output voltage or cause an unusual noise.
The subharmonic oscillation can be prevented by giving
Fig.44
Inductor current with slope compensation
a certain gradient to the threshold of the peak current as
shown in Fig. 44. This is called slope compensation.
Generally, the gradient of slope compensation required
for preventing a subharmonic oscillation is given by the
following relational expression:
Kc 
Ld  Lu
2
Here,
Lu:Gradient of an inductor current during the ON period
Ld:Gradient of an inductor current during the OFF period
Kc:Gradient of slope compensation
The above parameters are shown in Fig.45.
