UNISONIC TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD UC3875C Preliminary LINEAR INTEGRATED CIRCUIT LOW COST POWER-SAVING MODE PWM CONTROLLER FOR FLYBACK CONVERTERS DESCRIPTION The UTC UC3875C is a high performance current mode PWM controller ideally suited for low standby power. The PWM switching frequency is programmable externally at normal operation. Low VDD startup current make the power reliable on startup design and a large value resistor could be used in the startup circuit to minimize the standby power. At no load condition, the IC operates in power-saving mode for lower standby power, decreasing frequency for Higher conversion efficiency at light load condition. The UTC UC3875C contains protection with automatic recovery including OLP (over load protection), OTP (over temperature protection), OVP (over voltage protection), UVLO (VDD over voltage clamp and under voltage lockout).To protect the power MOSFET, Gate-drive output is fixed up to 15V max. The UTC UC3875C contains protection OCP (cycle-by-cycle current limiting). The internal slope compensation improves system stability at high PWM duty cycle output. Leading-edge blanking on current sense input removes the signal glitch, which offering minimal external component count in the design. Excellent EMI performance is achieved with UTC proprietary frequency hopping technique (ZL201020615247.1) together with soft driver control. Audio noise is eliminated due to switch frequency more than 20kHz during operation. The UTC UC3875C has such applications as: battery charger, power adaptor, set-top box power supplies, ink jet printers, open-frame SMPS.

The following descriptions highlight some of the features of the UTC UC3875C series. Start-up Current The start-up current is only 5μA. Low start-up current allows a start-up resistor with a high resistance and a low-wattage to supply the start-up power for the controller. For AC/DC adaptor with universal input range design, a 2.5~3MΩ, 1/8W startup resistor could be used together with a VDD capacitor to provide a fast startup and low power dissipation solution. Power-Saving Mode Operation The proprietary Power-Saving Mode function provides linearly decreasing the switching frequency under light-load conditions for higher efficiency. The feedback voltage, which is sampled from the voltage feedback loop, is taken as the reference. Once the feedback voltage dropped below the threshold voltage, the switching frequency starts to decrease. This Power-Saving Mode function dramatically reduces power consumption under light-load conditions. The 22KHz minimum frequency control also eliminates the audio noise at any loading conditions. At zero load condition, the magnitude of power loss is in proportion to the number of switching events within a fixed period of time. Reducing switching events leads to the reduction on the power loss and thus conserves the energy. The UTC UC3875C enter burst mode at standby condition to minimize the switching loss and reduces the standby power consumption. Power supplies using the UTC UC3875C can easily meet even the strictest regulations regarding standby power consumption. Switch Frequency Set The maximum switch frequency is set through the 100KΩ RI-pin resistor to 65KHz. Switch frequency is modulated by output power POUT during IC operating. At no load or light load condition, most of the power dissipation in a switching mode power supply is from switching loss on the MOSFET transistor, the core loss of the transformer and the loss on the snubber circuit. The magnitude of power loss is in proportion to the number of switching events within a fixed period of time. So lower switch frequency at lower load, which more and more improve IC’s efficiency at light load. At from no load to light load condition, The IC will operate at from Burst mode to Reducing Frequency Mode. The relation curve between fSW and POUT/POUT (MAX) as followed Fig.1. The maximum switch frequency is set through the RI-pin resistor RI: FSW=6500/RI (KΩ) KHz. Fig.1 The relation curve between fSW and relative output power POUT/ POUT (MAX) UNISONIC TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD www.unisonic.com.tw 5 of 9 QW-R103-075.b UC3875C Preliminary LINEAR INTEGRATED CIRCUIT OPERATION DESCRIPTION (Cont.) Frequency Hopping For EMI Improvement The Frequency hopping is implemented in the IC; there are two oscillators built-in the IC. The first oscillator is to set the normal switching frequency; the switching frequency is modulated with a period signal generated by the 2nd oscillator. The relation between the first oscillator and the 2nd oscillator as followed Fig.2. So the tone energy is evenly spread out, the spread spectrum minimizes the conduction band EMI and therefore eases the system design in meeting stringent EMI requirement. Fig.2 Frequency Hopping Built-in Slope Compensation Built-in slope compensation circuit greatly improves the close loop stability at CCM and prevents the sub-harmonic oscillation. Leading-Edge Blanking Each time the power MOSFET is switched on, a turn-on spike will inevitably occur at the sense-resistor. To avoid premature termination of the switching pulse, a 400ns leading-edge blanking time is built in. Conventional RC filtering can therefore be omitted. During this blanking period, the current-limit comparator is disabled and it cannot switch off the gate driver. Constant Output Power Limit When the SENSE voltage, across the sense resistor RS, reaches the threshold voltage, around 0.7V, the output GATE drive will be turned off after a small propagation delay tD. This propagation delay will introduce an additional current proportional to tD×VIN/Lp. Since the propagation delay is nearly constant regardless of the input line voltage VIN. Higher input line voltage will result in a larger additional current and hence the output power limit is also higher than that under low input line voltage. To compensate this variation for wide AC input range, the threshold voltage is adjusted by the VIN current. Since VIN pin is connected to the rectified input line voltage through a resistor RVIN, a higher line voltage will generate higher VIN current into the VIN pin. The threshold voltage is decreased if the VIN current is increased. Smaller threshold voltage, forces the output GATE drive to terminate earlier, thus reduce the total PWM turn-on time and make the output power equal to that of low line input. This proprietary internal compensation ensures a constant output power limit for wide AC input voltage from 90VAC to 264VAC. Under Voltage Lockout (UVLO) The turn-on and turn-off thresholds of the UTC UC3875C are fixed internally at 13V/6V. During start-up, the hold-up capacitor must be charged to 15.8V through the start-up resistor, so that the UTC UC3875C will be enabled. The hold-up capacitor will continue to supply VDD until power can be delivered from the auxiliary winding of the main transformer. VDD must not drop below 10V during this start-up process. This UVLO hysteresis window ensures that hold-up capacitor will be adequate to supply VDD during start-up. Gate Output The UTC UC3875C output stage is a fast totem pole gate driver. Cross conduction has been avoided to minimize heat dissipation, increase efficiency, and enhance reliability. A good tradeoff is achieved through dead time control. The low idle loss and good EMI system design is easier to achieve with this dedicated control scheme. An internal 15V clamp is added for MOSFET gate protection at higher than expected VDD input.

Protection Controls The IC takes on more protection functions such as OVP, OLP and OTP etc. In case of those failure modes for continual blanking time, the driver is shut down. Driver is reset after failure is eliminated. OVP The OVP will shut down the switching of the power MOSFET whenever VDD >VOVP. The OVP event as followed Fig.3. Fig.3 OVP case Fig.4 OLP case OLP OLP will shut down driver when VFB> VOLP for continual a blanking time. The OLP event as followed Fig.4. OTP OTP will shut down driver when junction temperature TJ>T (THR). PCB Layout Note Noise from the current sense or the control signal can cause significant pulse width jitter in continuous-conduction mode, and slope compensation helps alleviate these problems. Good placement and layout practices should be followed. Avoiding long PCB traces and component leads, locating compensation and filter components near the UTC UC3875C, and increasing the power MOS gate resistance is advised.
