Operation Overview The HT7A3942 is an excellent, low power off-line PWM Controller. With a high degree of functional integration, the external component requirement is greatly reduced resulting in excellent performance/ cost ratios. The device integrates many enhanced features such as a Non-Acoustic-Noise Green Mode Oscillator, Internal Slope Compensation, Internal Leading-Edge Blanking, Short-Circuit Protection and a wide industrial operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C). The device is designed for primary side control / secondary side feedback applications and is optimized for the Energy-Star 2.0 specification, this ensures that any EPS (External Power Supply) implemented using the HT7A3942 can fully satisfy the Energy Star 1.1/2.0 Stand-by (No-Load) criteria. Demo Board Input Condition (Pno=60 watts) 0 to < 50 watts ≥ 50 to ≤ 250 watts Stand-by Power 115V VAC < 0.3W 230V VAC < 0.3W Table 2. Demo Board Stand-by Power Results Advanced Precise-Oscillator for GreenMode Switching and Non-Acoustic Noise Requirement A Trimmed Precise Green Mode Oscillator is implemented in the device to enhance the conversion efficiency under conditions of light loads. As the data shown in Fig. 8, the efficiency difference of the traditional current mode PWM Controller between light loads and heavy loads is more than 8%, while the average efficiency is only 82%, the efficiency difference of the HT7A3942 is only 1%, while average efficiency is up to 87.5%. Energy Consumption Criteria for No-Load Nameplate Output Power (Pno) Input Range Maximum Power in No-Load AC-AC EPS AC-DC EPS ≤ 0.5 watts ≤ 0.3 watts ≤ 0.5 watts ≤ 0.3 watts Table 1. Energy Star 2.0 No-Load Criteria Ultra Low Stand-by Power for Energy Star 2.0 and Later Energy Star Requirement The device contains many advanced control schemes for Low Stand-by Power like tiny Operating/Standby Current, Green Mode for Light-Load, etc. By choosing an appropriate Stand-by resistor (as shown in Figure 7), EPS implemented by the device can fully satisfy the Energy Star 2.0 No-Load criteria.

Stand-by Resistor HT7A3942 & Traditional Current Mode PWM Controller (Measured at HT7A3942 Demo Board) Rev. 1.00 5 May 27, 2011 HT7A3942 The Green Mode Oscillator types supplied by other PWM Controller providers are plagued by the problems of Acoustic-Noise. This is because, under the conditions of light loads, the frequency will keep decreasing through Human Acoustic Range (from 20Hz to 20kHz), these audio frequencies may create audible noise in the transformer. Holtek’s HT7A3942 patented Green Mode Oscillator designed using an advanced Non-Acoustic Noise Scheme to prevent the generation of frequencies in the audio frequency band, thus eliminating any transformer noise. Figure 10. UVLO Scheme and Start-Up Current Current Sense and Leading-Edge Blanking (LEB) A Leading-Edge Blanking Scheme is integrated in the device to prevent false triggering due to feedback current spikes which may appear on the CS pin, further eliminate the need for R-C filter which is always a requirement in the traditional current mode PWM Controller applications. Figure 9. Oscillator Behavior Compared with HT7A3942 and other Green Mode PWM Controller Under Voltage Lockout (UVLO) An UVLO comparator is implemented in to ensure that the device is fully functional before the output stage is enabled. As shown in Fig. 10, a hysteresis is provided to prevent the PWM Controller from shutting down during any voltage dips which might occur during startup process. The turn-on and turnoff threshold levels are set at 16.0V and 10.0V, respectively. Rev. 1.00 Figure 11. LEB with R-C Filter Removed 6 May 27, 2011 HT7A3942 Internal Slope-Compensation Oscillator Frequency Tuning An important issue with the current mode control schemes is the instability due to Sub-Harmonic Oscillation when the Duty-Cycle > 50%. To prevent this problem from occurring, a Slope-Compensation function is always necessary. In traditional current mode PWM Controller application, many external components are necessary for Slope-Compensation function, but in HT7A3942 the internal SlopeCompensation eliminates the need for these external components resulting in simplified the application circuit design. By choosing an appropriate value of an external resistor between the RT Pin and GND, a suitable operating frequency can be generated. The relationship between the value of RT and the operating frequency is provided in the Figure 13. Short-Circuit Protection (SCP) and Over-Load Protection (OLP) To protect all the devices of a system from being damaged under over load or short circuit conditions, a smart SCP function is implemented in the device. Here the feedback system will force the voltage loop to move toward a saturation value and then pull up the voltage on the COMP pin. Whenever the VCOMP increases to the SCP threshold of 4.7V and remains there for longer than 40ms, the protection scheme will activate and then turn off the gate output to stop the switching of power circuit. By using such a protection mechanism, the average input power can be reduced to a very low level so that the component temperature and stress can be controlled within safe operating levels.
