Switching Regulator Control
REJ03D0836-0201
Rev.2.01
Nov 14, 2007
Description
M51996A is the primary switching regulator controller which is especially designed to get the regulated DC voltage
from AC power supply.
This IC can directly drive the MOS FET with fast rise and fast fall output pulse and with a large-drive totempole output.
Type M51996A has the functions of not only high frequency OSC and fast output drive but also current limit with fast
response and high sensibility so the true “fast switching regulator” can be realized.
The M51996A is equivalent to the M51978 with externally re-settable OVP (over voltage protection) circuit.
Features
•
•
•
•
•
500kHz operation to MOS FET
Output current : ±1 A
Output rise time 60 ns, fall time 40 ns
Modified totempole output method with small through current
Compact and light-weight power supply
 Small start-up current : 100 µA typ.
 Big difference between “start-up voltage” and “stop voltage” makes the smoothing capacitor of the power input
section small.
 Start-up threshold 16 V , stop voltage 10 V
 Packages with high power dissipation are used to with-stand the heat generated by the gate-drive current of MOS
FET.
 14-pin DIP, 16-pin SOP 1.5W (at 25°C)
• Simplified peripheral circuit with protection circuit and built-in large-capacity totempole output
 High-speed current limiting circuit using pulse-by-pulse method (CLM+pin)
 Over-voltage protection circuit with an externally re-settable latch (OVP)
 Protection circuit for output miss action at low supply voltage (UVLO)
• High-performance and highly functional power supply
 Triangular wave oscillator for easy dead time setting
 SOFT start function by expanding period
Application
Feed forward regulator, fly-back regulator

Function Description
Type M51996AP and M51996AFP are especially designed for off-line primary PWM control IC of switching mode
power supply to get DC voltage from AC power supply.
Using this IC, smart SMPS can be realized with reasonable cost and compact size as the number of external electric
parts can be reduced and also parts can be replaced by reasonable one.
In the following circuit diagram, MOS FET is used for output transistor, however bipolar transistor can be replaced with
no problem.
Start-up Circuit Section
The start-up current is such low current level as typical 100 µA, as shown in figure 1, when the VCC voltage is increased
from low level to start-up voltage VCC(START).
Circuit Current ICC (mA)
In this voltage range, only a few parts in this IC, which has the function to make the output voltage low level, is alive
and ICC current is used to keep output low level. The large voltage difference between VCC(START) and VCC(STOP) makes
start-up easy, because it takes rather long duration from VCC(START) to VCC(STOP).

Oscillator Section
The oscillation waveform is the triangle one. The ON-duration of output pulse depends on the rising duration of the
triangle waveform and dead-time is decided by the falling duration.
The rising duration is determined by the product of external resistor RON and capacitor CF and the falling duration is
mainly determined by the product of resistor ROFF and capacitor CF.

2. Oscillator operation when the SOFT (soft start) circuit is operating.
Output transistor is protected from rush current by CLM function at the start time of power on. SOFT terminal is
used to improve the rising response of the output voltage of power supply (prevention of overshooting).
The ON duration of output is kept constant, and the OFF duration is extended as the SOFT terminal voltage
becomes lower by the soft start circuit of this IC.
The maximum value of extension is set internally at approximately sixteen times of the maximum ON duration.
The features of this method are as follows :
(1) It is ideal for primary control as IC driving current is supplied from the third winding of the main transformer at
the start-up because constant ON duration is obtained from start-up.
(2) It is possible to get a wide dynamic range for ON/OFF ratio by pulse-by-pulse current limit circuit.
(3) The response characteristics at power-on is not affected by input voltage as the pulse-by-pulse limit current
value is not affected by the input voltage.
Figure 4 shows the circuit diagram of the soft start. If SOFT terminal voltage is low, T-OFF terminal voltage
becomes low and VT-OFF in equations (3) and (4) become low.

PWM Comparator, PWM Latch and Current Limit Latch Section
Figure 7 shows the schematic diagram of PWM comparator and PWM latch section. The on-duration of output
waveform coincides with the rising duration of CF terminal waveform, when the no output current flows from F/B
terminal.
When the F/B terminal has finite impedance and current flows out from F/B terminal, “A” point potential shown in
figure 7 depends on this current. So the “A” point potential is close to GND level when the flow-out current becomes
large.
“A” point potential is compared with the CF terminal oscillator waveform and PWM comparator, and the latch circuit is
set when the potential of oscillator waveform is higher than “A” point potential.
The latch circuit is reset during the dead-time of oscillation (falling duration of oscillation current). So the “B” point
potential or output waveform of latch circuit is the one shown in figure 8.
The final output waveform or “C” point potential is got by combining the “B” point signal and dead-time signal
logically. (please refer to figure 8)

When the current-limit signal is applied before the crossing instant of “A” pint potential and CF terminal voltage shown
in figure 7, this signal makes the output “off” and the off state will continue until next cycle. Figure 9 shows the timing
relation among them.
If the current limiting circuit is set, no waveform is generated at output terminal, however this state is reset during the
succeeding dead-time.
So this current limiting circuit is able to have the function in every cycle, and is named “pulse-by-pulse current limit”.
There happen some noise voltage on RCLM during the switching of power transistor due to the snubber circuit and stray
capacitor of the transformer windings.

To eliminate the abnormal operation by the noise voltage, the low pass filter, which consists of RNF and CNF is used as
shown in figure 10.
It is recommended to use 10 to 100 Ω for RNF because such range of RNF is not influenced by the flow-out current of
some 200 µA from CLM+ terminal and CNF is designed to have the enough value to absorb the noise voltage.

Voltage Detector Circuit (DET) Section
The DET terminal can be used to control the output voltage which is determined by the winding ratio of fly back
transformer in fly-back system or in case of common ground circuit of primary and secondary in feed forward system.
The circuit diagram is quite similar to that of shunt regulator type 431 as shown in figure 11. As well known from
figure 11 and figure 12, the output of OP AMP has the current-sink ability, when the DET terminal voltage is higher
than 2.5 V.
But it becomes high impedance state when lower than 2.5 V DET terminal and F/B terminal have inverting phase
characteristics each other, so it is recommended to connect the resistor and capacitor in series between them for phase
compensation. It is very important one can not connect by resistor directly as there is the voltage difference between
them and the capacitor has the DC stopper function.

OVP Circuit (Over Voltage Protection Circuit) Section
OVP circuit is basically positive feedback circuit constructed by Q2, Q3 as shown in figure 13.
Q2, Q3 turn on and the circuit operation of IC stops, when the input signal is applied to OVP terminal. (threshold
voltage ≈ 750 mV)
The current value of I2 is about 150µA when the OVP does not operates but it decreases to about 2 µA when OVP
operates.
It is necessary to input the sufficient larger current (800 µA to 8 mA) than I2 for triggering the OVP operation.
The reason to decrease I2 is that it is necessary that ICC at the OVP rest supply voltage is small.
It is necessary that OVP state holds by circuit current from R1 in the application example, so this IC has the
characteristic of small ICC at the OVP reset supply voltage (≈ stand-by current + 20 µA)
On the other hand, the circuit current is large in the higher supply voltage, so the supply voltage of this IC doesn’t
become so high by the voltage drop across R1.
This characteristic is shown in figure 14.
The OVP terminal input current in the voltage lower than the OVP threshold voltage is based on I2 and the input current
in the voltage higher than the OVP threshold voltage is the sum of the current flowing to the base of Q3 and the current
flowing from the collector of Q2 to the base.
For holding in the latch state, it is necessary that the OVP terminal voltage is kept in the voltage higher than VBE of Q3.
So if the capacitor is connected between the OVP terminal and GND, even though Q2 turns on in a moment by the
surge voltage, etc, this latch action does not hold if the OVP terminal voltage does not become higher than VBE of Q3
by charging this capacitor.
For resetting OVP state, it is necessary to make the OVP terminal voltage lower than the OVP L threshold voltage or
make VCC lower than the OVP reset supply voltage.
As the OVP reset voltage is settled on the rather high voltage of 9.0 V, SMPS can be reset in rather short time from the
switch-off of the AC power source if the smoothing capacitor is not so large value.

Output Section
It is required that the output circuit have the high sink and source abilities for MOS FET drive. It is well known that the
“totempole circuit has high sink and source ability. However, it has the demerit of high through current.
For example, the through current may reach such the high current level of 1 A, if type M51996A has the “conventional”
totempole circuit. For the high frequency application such as higher than 100 kHz, this through current is very
important factor and will cause not only the large ICC current and the inevitable heat-up of IC but also the noise voltage.
This IC uses the improved totempole circuit, so without deteriorating the characteristic of operating speed, its through
current is approximately 100 mA.

Figure 15 Start-up Circuit Diagram When it is Not Necessary to Set The Start and Stop Input Voltage
Figure 15 shows one of the example circuit diagram of the start-up circuit which is used when it is not necessary to
set the start and stop voltage.
It is recommended that the current more than 300 µA flows through R1 in order to overcome the operation start-up
current ICC(START) and CVCC is in the range of 10 to 47 µF. The product of R1 by CVCC causes the time delay of
operation, so the response time will be long if the product is too much large.
Just after the start-up, the ICC current is supplied from CVCC, however, under the steady state condition, IC will be
supplied from the third winding or bias winding of transformer, the winding ratio of the third winding must be
designed so that the induced voltage may be higher than the operation-stop voltage VCC(STOP).
The VCC voltage is recommended to be 12 V to 17 V as the normal and optimum gate voltage is 10 to 15 V and the
output voltage (VOH) of type M51996AP/AFP is about (VCC − 2 V).
It is not necessary that the induced voltage is settled higher than the operation start-up voltage VCC(START), and the
high gate drive voltage causes high gate dissipation, on the other hand, too low gate drive voltage does not make the
MOS FET fully on-state or the saturation state.
2. The start-up circuit when it is not necessary to set the start and stop input voltage
It is recommend to use the third winding of “forward winding” or “positive polarity” as shown in figure 16, when
the DC source voltages at both the IC operation start and stop must be settled at the specified values.
The input voltage (VIN(START)), at which the IC operation starts, is decided by R1 and R2 utilizing the low start-up
current characteristics of type M51996AP/AFP.
The input voltage (VIN(STOP)), at which the IC operation stops, is decided by the ratio of third winding of transformer.
The VIN(START) and VIN(STOP) are given by following equations.

Figure 17 How to Design The Conductor-pattern of Type M51996A on PC Board
(schematic example)
To avoid the abnormal IC operation, it is recommended to design the VCC is not vary abruptly and has few spike
voltage, which is induced from the stray capacity between the winding of main transformer.
To reduce the spike voltage, the CVCC, which is connected between VCC and ground, must have the good high
frequency characteristics.
To design the conductor-pattern on PC board, following cautions must be considered as shown in figure 17.
(1) To separate the emitter line of type M51996A from the GND line of the IC
(2) The locate the CVCC as near as possible to type M51996A and connect directly
(3) To separate the collector line of type M51996A from the VCC line of the IC
(4) To connect the ground terminals of peripheral parts of ICs to GND of type M51996A as short as possible

4. Power supply circuit for easy start-up
When IC start to operate, the voltage of the CVCC begins to decrease till the CVCC becomes to be charged from the
third winding of main-transformer as the ICC of the IC increases abruptly. In case shown in figure 15 and 16, some
“unstable start-up” or “fall to start-up” may happen, as the charging interval of CVCC is very short duration; that is
the charging does occur only the duration while the induced winding voltage is higher than the CVCC voltage, if the
induced winding voltage is nearly equal to the “operation-stop voltage” of type M51996A.
It is recommended to use the 10 to 47 µF for CVCC1, and about 5 times capacity bigger than CVCC1 for CVCC2.

OVP Circuit
1. To avoid the miss operation of OVP
It is recommended to connect the capacitor between OVP terminal and GND for avoiding the miss operation by the
spike noise.
The OVP terminal is connected with the sink current source (≈ 150 µA) in IC when OVP does not operate, for
absorbing the leak current of the photo coupler in the application.
So the resistance between the OVP terminal and GND for leak-cut is not necessary.
If the resistance is connected, the supply current at the OVP reset supply voltage becomes large.
As the result, the OVP reset supply voltage may become higher than the operation stop voltage.
In that case, the OVP action is reset when the OVP is triggered at the supply voltage a little high than the operation
stop voltage.
So it should be avoided absolutely to connect the resistance between the OVP terminal and GND.

The reset time may becomes problem when the discharge time constant of CFIN • (R1 + R2) is long. Under such the

You can reset OVP to lower the OVP terminal voltage lower than VTHOVPL.
So you can control for ON/OFF using this nature.
The application is shown in figure 22.
The circuit turns off by SW OFF and turns on by SW ON in this application.
Of course you can make use of the transistor or photo-transistor instead of SW.

Current Limiting Circuit
1. Peripheral circuit of CLM+ terminal
Figure 23 shows the example circuit diagrams around the CLM+ terminal. It is required to connect the low pass
filter, in order to reduce the spike current component, as the main current or drain current contains the spike current
especially during the turn-on duration of MOS FET.
1,000 pF to 22,000 pF is recommended for CNF and the RNF1 and RNF2 have the function both to adjust the “currentdetecting-sensitivity” and to consist the low pass filter.
To design the RNF1 and RNF2, it is required to consider the influence of CLM+ terminal source current (IINCLM+),
which value is in the range of 90 to 270 µA.
In order to be not influenced from these resistor paralleled value of RNF1 and RNF2, (RNF1//RNF2) is recommended to
be less than 100 Ω.
The RCLM should be the non-inductive resistor.

Figure 24 Primary and Secondary Current Waveforms Under The Current Limiting Operation
Condition on Feed Forward System
Figure 24 shows the primary and secondary current wave-forms under the current limiting operation.
At the typical application of pulse by pulse primary current detecting circuit, the secondary current depends on
the primary current. As the peak value of secondary current is limited to specified value, the characteristics
curve of output voltage versus output current become to the one as shown in figure 25.
The demerit of the pulse by pulse current limiting system is that the output pulse width can not reduce to less
than some value because of the delay time of low pass filter connected to the CLM+ terminal and propagation
delay time TPDCLM from CLM+ terminal to output terminal of type M51996A. The typical TPDCLM+ is 100 ns.
As the frequency becomes higher, the delay time must be shorter. And as the secondary output voltage becomes
higher, the dynamic range of on-duty must be wider; it means that it is required to make the on-duration much
more narrower.
So this system has the demerit at the higher oscillating frequency and higher output voltage applications.
To prevent that the SOFT terminal is used to lower the frequency when the curve starts to become vertical.

Figure 25 Over Current Limiting Curve on Feed Forward System
If the curve becomes vertical because of an excess current, the output voltage is lowered and no feedback current
flows from feedback photo-coupler; the PWM comparator operates to enlarge the duty sufficiently, but the
signal from the CLM+ section operates to make the pulse width narrower.
Under the condition in which I2 in figure 24 does not become 0, the output voltage is proportional to the product
of the input voltage VIN (primary side voltage of the main transformer) and on duty. If the bias winding is
positive, VCC is approximately proportional to VIN. The existence of feed back current of the photo-coupler is
known by measuring the F/B terminal voltage which becomes less than 2VBE in the internal circuit of REG
terminal and F/B terminal if the output current flows from the F/B terminal.

turned off and the SOFT terminal responds to the smoothed output voltage.
It is recommended to use an R1 and R2 of 10 kΩ to 30 kΩ. An R3 of 20 to 100 kΩ and C of 1000 pF to 8200 pF
should be used.

DC Output Voltage
(2) In case of fly back system
The DC output voltage of SMPS depends on the VCC voltage of type M51996A when the polarity of the third
winding is negative and the system is fly back. So the operation of type M51996A will stop when the VCC
becomes lower than “Operation-stop voltage” of M51996A when the DC output voltage of SMPS decreases
under specified value at over load condition.

However, the M51996A will non-operate and operate intermittently, as the VCC voltage rises in accordance with
the decrease of ICC current.
The fly back system has the constant output power characteristics as shown in figure 30 when the peak primary
current and the operating frequency are constant.
To avoid an increases of the output current, the frequency is lowered when the DC output voltage of SMPS starts
to drop using the SOFT terminal. VCC is divided and is input to the SOFT terminal as shown in figure 31,
because the voltage in proportional to the output voltage is obtained from the bias winding. In this application
example, the current flowing to R3 added to the start-up current. So please use high resistance or 100 kΩ to 200
kΩ for R3.
The start-up current is not affected by R3 if R3 is connected to CVCC2 in the circuit shown in figure 18.

Output Circuit
1. The output terminal characteristics at the VCC voltage lower than the “Operation-stop” voltage
The output terminal has the current sink ability even though the VCC voltage lower than the “Operation-stop”
voltage or VCC(STOP) (It means that the terminal is “Output low state” and please refer characteristics of output low
voltage versus sink current.)
This characteristics has the merit not to damage the MOS FET at the stop of operation when the VCC voltage
decreases lower than the voltage of VCC(STOP), as the gate charge of MOS FET, which shows the capacitive load
characteristics to the output terminal, is drawn out rapidly.
The output terminal has the draw-out ability above the VCC voltage of 2 V, however, lower than the 2V, it loses the
ability and the output terminal potential may rise due to the leakage current.
In this case, it is recommended to connect the resistor of 100 kΩ between gate and source of MOS FET as shown in
figure 32.

2. MOS FET gate drive power dissipation
Figure 33 shows the relation between the applied gate voltage and the stored gate charge.
In the region 1, the charge is mainly stored at CGS as the depletion is spread and CGD is small owing to the off-state
of MOS FET and the high drain voltage.
In the region 2, the CGD is multiplied by the “mirror effect” as the characteristics of MOS FET transfers from offstate to on-state.
In the region 3, both the CGD and CGS affect to the characteristics as the MOS FET is on-state and the drain voltage
is low.

As the gate drive current may reach up to several tenths milliamperes at 500 kHz operation, depending on the size of
MOS FET, the power dissipation caused by the gate current can not be neglected.
In this case, following action will be considered to avoid heat up of type M51996A.

(2) To use the printed circuit board with the good thermal conductivity
(3) To use the buffer circuit shown next section

At the start of the operation, there happen to be no output pulse due to F/B terminal current through C1 and C2, as the
potential of F/B terminal rises sharply just after the start of the operation.
Not to lack the output pulse, is recommended to connect the capacitor C4 as shown by broken line.
Please take notice that the current flows through the R1 and R2 are superposed to ICC(START). Not to superpose, R1 is
connected to CVCC2 as shown in figure 18.
How to Get The Narrow Pulse Width During The Start of Operation
Figure 37 shows how to get the narrow pulse width during the start of the operation. If the pulse train of forcedly
narrowed pulse-width continues too long, the misstart of operation may happen, so it is recommended to make the
output pulse width narrow only for a few pulse at the start of operation. 0.1 µF is recommended for the C.

Driver Circuit for Bipolar Transistor
When the bipolar transistor is used instead of MOS FET, the base current of bipolar transistor must be sinked by the
negative base voltage source for the switching-off duration, in order to make the switching speed of bipolar transistor
fast one.
In this case, over current can not be detected by detecting resistor in series to bipolar transistor, so it is recommended to
use the CT (current transformer).

Attention for Heat Generation
The maximum ambient temperature of type M51996A is +85°C, however the ambient temperature in vicinity of the IC
is not uniform and varies place by place, as the amount of power dissipation is fearfully large and the power dissipation
is generated locally in the switching regulator.
So it is one of the good idea to check the IC package temperature.
The temperature difference between IC junction and the surface of IC package is 15°C or less, when the IC junction
temperature is measured by temperature dependency of forward voltage of pin junction, and IC package temperature is
measured by "thermo-viewer", and also the IC is mounted on the “phenol-base” PC board in normal atmosphere.
So it is concluded that the maximum case temperature (surface temperature of IC) rating is 120°C with adequate margin.
