NCP1910 High Performance Combo Controller for ATX Power Supplies Housed in a SO−24WB package, the NCP1910 combines a state-of-the-art circuitry aimed to powering next generation of ATX or flat TVs converters. With a 65 or 100 kHz Continuous Conduction Mode Power Factor Controller and a LLC controller hosting a high-voltage driver, the NCP1910 is ready to power 85+ types of offline power supplies. To satisfy stringent efficiency considerations, the PFC circuit implements an adjustable frequency fold back to reduce switching losses as the load is going light. To cope with all the signal sequencing required by the ATX and flat TVs specifications, the controller includes several dedicated pins enabling handshake between the secondary and the primary sides. These signals include a power-good line but also a control pin which turns the controller on and off via an opto coupler. Safety-wise, a second OVP input offers the necessary redundancy in case the main feedback network would drift away. Finally, a fast fault input immediately reacts in presence of an over current condition by triggering an auto-recovery soft-start sequence. http://onsemi.com SO−24WB Less Pin 21 DW SUFFIX CASE 752AB MARKING DIAGRAM NCP1910XXX AWLYYWWG Features • • • • • • • • • • • • 1 Fixed-Frequency 65 or 100 kHz CCM Power Factor Controller Average Current-Mode Control for Low Line Distortion XXXXX = Specific Device Code Dynamic Response Enhancer Reduces Bulk Undershoot A = Assembly Location Independent Over Voltage Protection Sensing Pin with Latch-off WL = Wafer Lot YY = Year Capability WW = Work Week Adjustable Frequency Fold Back Improves Light Load Efficiency G = Pb−Free Package Adjustable Line Brown-Out Protection with 50 ms Delay to Help Meeting Hold-up Time Specifications ORDERING INFORMATION Programmable Over current Threshold Leads to an Optimized See detailed ordering and shipping information in the package Sensing Resistor dimensions section on page 35 of this data sheet. ±1 A peak Current Drive Capability LLC Controller Operates from 25 kHz to 500 kHz On Board 600 V High-Voltage Drivers • Power Good Output Management Signal 1 A/0.5 A Sink/Source Capability • A Version with Dual Ground Pinout (No Skip), B Version with Single Ground and Skip Operation for Minimum Frequency Precision Down to ±3% Over the LLC Controller Temperature Range • 20 V Operation Internally Fixed Dead-Time Value of 300 ns • These are Pb-Free Devices Adjustable Soft-Start Sequence • • • Fast Fault Input with Soft-Start Trigger for Immediate • • Typical Applications Auto-recovery Protection On/Off Control Pin for Secondary-Based Remote Control On-Board 5 V Reference Voltage for Precise Thresholds/Hysteresis Adjustments © Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC, 2014 June, 2014 − Rev. 2 • Multi Output ATX Power Supplies (A version) • Flat TVs Power Supplies (B version) 1 Publication Order Number: NCP1910/D NCP1910 SS Rt PG out ON/OFF BO adj.

However, if for an unknown reason the PFC is disabled (fault, short-circuit), the PG pin immediately opens and if sufficient voltage is still present on the bulk (e.g. in high line condition), the LLC will be disabled after a typical time of 5 ms. 4.

These cores interact together and implement handshake functions in normal operating conditions but also when a fault appears. Based on the ON Semiconductor proprietary high-voltage technology, the LLC section can drive the high-side MOSFET of the LLC half-bridge without the need of a gate-drive transformer. • Power Factor Correction • Compactness and Flexibility: the NCP1910 requires • • • • a minimum of external components to perform a CCM PFC operation. In particular, the circuit scheme simplifies the PFC stage design. In addition, the circuit offers some functions like the line brown-out detection or true power limiting capability that enable the optimization of the PFC design. Low Consumption and Shutdown Capability: the NCP1910 is optimized to consume a small current in all operation modes. The consumed current is particularly reduced during the start-up phase and in shutdown mode so that the power losses are minimized when the circuit is disabled. This feature helps meet stringent stand-by low power specifications. Grounding the Feed-back pin can force the circuit to enter standby but the on/off pin can also serve this purpose. Maximum Current Limit: the circuit permanently senses the inductor current and immediately turns off the power switch if it is higher than the set current limit. The NCP1910 also prevents any turn on of the power switch as long as the inductor current is not below its maximum permissible level. This feature protects the MOSFET from possible excessive stress that could result from the switching of a current higher than the one the power switch is dimensioned for. In particular, this scheme effectively protects the PFC stage during the start-up phase when large in-rush currents charge the bulk capacitor. Under-Voltage Protection for Open Loop Protection: the circuit detects when the feed-back voltage goes below than about 8% of the regulation level. In this case, the circuit turns off and its consumption drops to a very low value. This feature protects the PFC stage from starting operation in case of low ac line conditions or in case of a failure in the feed-back network (i.e. bad connection). In case the UVP circuitry is activated, the Power Good signal is disabled and the LLC circuit stops immediately. Fast Transient Response: given the low bandwidth of the regulation block, the output voltage of PFC stages may exhibit excessive over or under-shoots because of • • • • • • abrupt load or input voltage variations (e.g. at start up). If the bulk voltage is too far from the regulation level: ♦ Over-Voltage Protection: NCP1910 turns off the power switch as soon as Vbulk exceeds the OVP threshold (105% of the regulation level). This is an auto-recovery function. ♦ Dynamic Response Enhancer: NCP1910 drastically speeds up the regulation loop by its internal 200 mA current source, activated when the bulk voltage drops below 95% of its regulation level. Line Brown-Out Detection: the circuit detects low ac line conditions and disables the PFC stage in this case. This protection mainly protects the power switch from the excessive stress that could damage it in such conditions. Over-Power Limitation: the NCP1910 computes the maximum permissible current in dependence of the average input voltage measured by the brown-out block. It is the second OCP with a threshold that is line dependent. When the circuit detects an excessive power transfer, it resets the driver output immediately. Redundant Over-Voltage Protection: As a redundant safety feature, the NCP1910 offers a second latched OVP whose input is available on OVP2 pin. If the voltage on this pin is above the maximum allowable voltage, the PFC and the LCC are latched off. PFC Abnormal Protection: When PFC faces an abnormal situation so that the bulk voltage is under regulation longer than the allowable timing, the PFC and LLC are latched off. Frequency Foldback: in light output loading conditions, the user has the ability to program a point on the VCTRL pin where the oscillator frequency is gradually reduced. This helps to maintain an adequate efficiency on the PFC power stage alone. Soft-Start: to offer a clean start-up sequence and limit both the stress on the power MOSFET and the bulk voltage overshoot, a 30 mA current source charges the compensation network installed on VCTRL pin and makes VCTRL raise gradually. Output Stage Totem Pole: the NCP1910 incorporates a ±1.0 A gate driver to efficiently drive TO220 or TO247 power MOSFETs. LLC Controller • Wide Frequency Operation: the part can operate to a frequency up to 500 kHz by connecting a resistive network from Rt pin to ground. One resistor sets the maximum switching frequency whereas a second resistor set the minimum frequency. http://onsemi.com 18 NCP1910 • On Board Dead Time: to eliminate the shoot-through • • • • on the half-bridge leg, a dead time is included in the controller (see DTL parameter). Soft-Start: a dedicated pin discharges a capacitor to ground upon start-up to offer a smooth output voltage ramp up. The start-up frequency is the maximum set by the resistor connected between Rt pin and SS pin. The capacitor connected from Rt pin to ground fixes the soft start duration. In fault mode, when the voltage on CS/FF pin exceeds a typical value of 1 V, the soft-start pin is immediately discharged and a re-start at high frequency occurs. Skip Cycle Operation: to avoid any frequency runaway in light conditions but also to improve the standby power consumption, the NCP1910B welcomes a skip input (Skip pin) which permanently observes the opto-coupler collector. If this pin senses a low voltage, it cuts the LLC output pulses until the collector goes up again. The NCP1910A does not offer the skip capability and routes the analog ground on pin 16 instead. High-Soltage Drivers: capitalizing on ON Semiconductor technology, the LLC controller includes a high-voltage section allowing a direct connection to the high-voltage rail. The MOSFET leg can therefore be directly driven without using a gate-drive transformer. Fault Protection: as explained in the above lines, the CS/FF pin combines a two-level protection circuit. If the level crosses the first level (1 V), the LLC converter immediately increases its switching frequency to the maximum set by the external resistive divider connected on Rt pin. This is an auto-recovery protection mode. In case the fault is more severe, the signal on the CS/FF pin crosses the second threshold (1.5 V) and latches off the whole combo controller. Reset occurs via an UVLO detection on VCC, a reset on the on/off pin or a brown-out detection on the PFC stage. This latter confirms that the user has unplugged and re-plugged the power supply. • • • signal is asserted. This delay is always reset when the combo is started from a VCC ULVO, line brown-out condition or via the on/off pin. Power Good Signal: the power good signal (PG) is intended to instruct the downstream circuitry installed on the isolated secondary side that the combo is working. Once the PFC has started, an internal “PFC_OK” signal is asserted. 20 ms later, the PG pin is brought low. This signal can now disappear in two cases: the bulk voltage decreases to an abnormal level, programmed by a reference voltage imposed on PGadj pin. This level is usually above the LLC turn-off voltage, programmed by BOadj pin. Therefore, in a normal turn-off sequence, PG first drops and signals the secondary side that it must be prepared for shutdown. The second event that can drop the PG signal is when the PFC experiences a fault: broken feedback path, severe overload. In this case, the PG signal is immediately asserted high and a 5 ms timer starts. Once this timer is elapsed, the LLC converter can be safely halted. Latched Event: in the event of a severe operating condition, the PFC can be latched (OVP2 pin) and/or the LLC controller also (CS/FF pin). In either case, the whole combo controller is locked and can only be reset via a VCC UVLO, line brown-out or a level transition on pin on/off. Thermal Shutdown: an internal thermal circuitry disables the circuit gate drive and then keeps the power switch off when the junction temperature exceeds 140°C typically. The circuit resumes operation once the temperature drops below about 110°C (30°C hysteresis). Principle of NCP1910 Scheme PFC Section A CCM PFC boost converter is shown in Figure 41. The input voltage is a rectified 50 Hz or 60 Hz sinusoidal signal. The MOSFET is switching at a high frequency (typically 65 kHz in NCP1910) so that the inductor current IL basically consists of high and low-frequency components. Filter capacitor Cin is an essential and very small value capacitor in order to eliminate the high-frequency component of the inductor IL. This filter capacitor cannot be too bulky because it can pollute the power factor by distorting the rectified sinusoidal input voltage. Combo Management • Start-Up Delay: the PFC start-up sequence often generates an output overshoot followed by damped oscillations. To make sure the PFC output voltage is fully stabilized before starting the LLC converter, a 20 ms delay is inserted after the internal PFC_ok http://onsemi.com 19 NCP1910 I in L Bulk voltage (Vbulk) IL V in C bulk C in R SENSE Figure 41.

It makes the input current Iin a low-frequency signal only of the inductor current. I in + I L−50 Figure 43. PFC Duty Modulation and Timing Diagram (eq. 2) The PFC modulation and timing diagram is shown in Figure 43. The MOSFET on time t1 is generated by the intersection of reference voltage VPREF and ramp voltage Vramp. A relationship in Equation 4 is obtained. Where: ♦ Iin is the input AC current. ♦ IL is the inductor current. ♦ IL−50 supposes a 50 Hz operation. The suffix 50 means it is with a 50 Hz bandwidth of the original IL.

Ich, Cramp, and VPREF also act as the ramp signal of switching frequency. Hence the charging current Ich is specially designed as in Equation 5. The multiplier voltage VM is therefore expressed in terms of t1 in Equation 6. I ch + V M + V PREF * C rampV PREF (eq. 5) T t1 C rampV PREF C ramp T + V PREF Figure 44. Multiplier Voltage Timing Diagram T * t1 It can be seen in the timing diagram in Figure 43 that VM originally consists of a switching frequency ripple coming from the inductor current IL. The duty ratio can be inaccurately generated due to this ripple. This modulation is the so-called “peak current mode”. Hence, an external capacitor CM connected to the multiplier voltage VM pin is essential to bypass the high-frequency component of VM. The modulation becomes the so-called “average current mode” with a better accuracy for PFC. T (eq. 6) From Equation 3 and Equation 6, the input impedance Zin is re-formulated in Equation 7.

VCTRL is the control voltage signal, the output voltage of Operational Trans-conductance Amplifier (OTA), as described in Equation 17. VCTRL(min) is not only the minimum operating voltage of VCTRL but also the offset voltage for the PFC current modulation. RM directly limits the maximum input power capability. Also, due to the Vin2 feed-forward feature, where the VLBO is squared, the transfer function and the power delivery is independent from the ac line level. The relationship between VCTRL and power delivery will be depicted later on. http://onsemi.com 21 NCP1910 Line Brown-Out Protection Vin Ac line EMI Filter LBO comp.

The Line Brown-Out Configuration • If VLBOcomp is high during the second 50 ms delay As shown in Figure 46, the Line Brown-Out pin (represented LBO pin) as receives a portion of the input voltage (Vin). As Vin is a rectified sinusoid, a capacitor must integrate the ac line ripple so that a voltage proportional to the average value of Vin is applied to the brown-out pin. The main function of the LBO block is to detect too low input voltage conditions. A 7 mA current source lowers the LBO pin voltage when a brown-out condition is detected. This is for hysteresis purpose as required by this function. In nominal operation, the voltage applied to LBO pin must be above the internal reference voltage, VLBOT (1 V typically). In this case, the output of the LBO comparator VLBOcomp is low. Conversely, if VLBO goes below 1 V, VLBOcomp turns high and a 980 mV voltage source, VLBO(clamp), is connected to the LBO pin to maintain the pin level near 1 V. Then a 50 ms blanking delay, tLBO(blank), is activated during which no fault is detected. The main goal of the 50 ms lag is to help meet the hold-up requirements. In case of a short mains interruption, no fault is detected and hence, both PFC and LLC keep operating. In addition, LBO pin being kept at 980 mV, there is almost no extra delay between the line recovery and the occurrence of a proper voltage applied to LBO pin, that otherwise would exist because of the large capacitor typically placed between LBO pin and ground to filter the input voltage ripple. As a result, the NCP1910 effectively “blanks” any mains interruption that is shorter than 25 ms (minimum guaranteed value of the 50 ms timer). At the end of this blanking delay (tLBO(blank)), another timer is activated that sets a 50 ms window during which a fault can be detected. This is the role of the tLBO(window) in Figure 46: • (tLBO(window)), a line brown-out condition is confirmed and PFC_BO signal is asserted high. If VLBOcomp remains low for the duration of the tLBO(window), no fault is detected. When the PFC_BO signal is high: • The PFC driver is disabled, and the VCTRL pin is grounded to recover operation with a soft-start when the fault has gone. • The VLBO(clamp) voltage source is removed from LBO pin. • The ILBOH current source (7 mA typically) is enabled that lowers the LBO pin voltage for hysteresis purpose. At startup, a pnp transistor ensures that the LBO pin voltage remains below when: VCC < UVLO or ON/OFF pin is released open or UVP or Thermal Shutdown. This is to guarantee that the circuit starts operation in the right state, which is “PFC_BO” high. When the NCP1910 is ready to work, the pnp transistor turns off and the circuit enables the ILBOH. Also, ILBOH is enabled whenever the part is in off mode, but at startup, ILBOH is disabled until VCC reaches VCC(on). Line Brown-Out Network Calculation If the line brown-out network is connected to the voltage after bridge diode, the monitored voltage can be very different depending on the phase: • Before operation, the PFC stage is off and the input bridge acts as a peak detector. As a consequence, the input voltage is approximately flat and nearly equates http://onsemi.com 22 NCP1910 the ac line amplitude: <Vin> = √2 Vac,rms, where Vac,rms is the rms voltage of the line. As depicted in previous section, the ILBOH turns on before PFC operates for the purpose of adjustable line brown-out hysteresis; hence, the average voltage applied to LBO pin is: R LBOL V LBO + Ǹ2 V ac,rms @ R LBOU ) R LBOL R LBOU @ R LBOL R LBOU + * I LBOH IL RCS (eq. 9) R LBOL R LBOU ) R LBOL 2Ǹ 2 V ac,rms p R ǒ NCP1910 + RSENSE The device senses the inductor current IL by the current sense scheme in Figure 47.

RLBOU is upper side resistor of the dividing resistors between Vin and LBO pin. PFC Over-current Protection is reached when ICS is larger than IS(OCP) (200 mA typical). The offset voltage of the CS pin is typical 10 mV and it is neglected in the calculation. Hence, the maximum OCP inductor current threshold IL(OCP) is obtained in Equation 14. 3f line account the LBO pin voltage ripple (first approximation).

PFC Over-Power Limitation Configuration When the product (ICS × VLBO) is greater than a permissible level 275 mVA, the device turns off the PFC driver so that the input power is limited.

The operating range of VCTRL is from VCTRL(min) to VCTRL(max). The signal used for PFC duty modulation is after decreasing a offset voltage, VCTRL(min), i.e. VCTRL−VCTRL(min). This control voltage VCTRL is a roughly constant voltage that comes from the PFC output voltage Vbulk that is a slowly varying signal. The bandwidth of VCTRL can be additionally limited by inserting the external type-2 compensation components (that are RZ, CZ, and CP as shown in Figure 49). It is recommended to limit cross over frequency of open loop system below 20 Hz typically if the input ac voltage is 50 Hz to achieve power factor correction purpose.

PFC Frequency Foldback NCP1910 implements frequency foldback feature on PFC section to improve the efficiency at light load. Thanks to Vin2 feed-forward feature, the output power is proportional to the (VCTRL − VCTRL(min)). The PFC frequency foldback is hence done by comparing (VCTRL − VCTRL(min)) with Vfold, the voltage on Fold pin. The simplified block diagram of PFC frequency foldback feature is depicted in Figure 50.

The PFC Frequency Foldback Block http://onsemi.com 25 NCP1910 ♦ Where: ♦ ICt(min) limits the minimum operating frequency. ♦ ICt and ICt(min) provide the charging current for oscillator and hence control the nominal operating frequency. ♦ Vfold determines the power level at which the frequency foldback starts. ♦ ICt(fold) steals the ICt and hence reduces the operating frequency according to the error information between Vfold and (VCTRL − VCTRL(min)). ♦ The transient slope of frequency foldback vs. VCTRL is fixed inside. Vfold(max) is to limit the maximum power level of frequency foldback, which is around 2 V typically. The frequency foldback is disabled at start-up, i.e. before the PFCok signal in Figure 50 is asserted high. The user can adjust the power level at which the frequency foldback starts by adjust the resistor divider between VREF pin and fold pin. Also, the frequency foldback can be disabled by grounding fold pin. The relationship between operating frequency and VCTRL is depicted in Figure 51. FREQUENCY Fsw The slope is fixed internally. The power level at which frequency starts reducing is adjustable by modifying Vfold. Fsw(fold) Vfold – 0.4 Vfold VCTRL−VCTRL(min) T Power Figure 51. The Relationship between Frequency and VCTRL PFC Power Boost tLBO(PDblank), is to avoid this power boost function reacting too soon, which is about 77 ms typically. The PFC power boost function is inhibited at start-up until bulk voltage is above 95% of nominal output. As depicted in previous section, thanks to the Vin2 feed-forward, the power delivery is independent from input voltage. It brings benefit of good power factor and a direct control on the frequency foldback. However, in some special case such as when the ac input voltage drops sharply from high line to low line, the power will be limited because the filter on LBO pin slows down the reaction speed to follow up the change on input voltage. In the end, the bulk voltage might drop too low and stop the LLC converter. Hence, NCP1910 builds a so-called PFC power boost function inside. The idea is to pull down LBO pin to 2 V typically, VLBO(PD), when • VLBO is above 2 V, VLBO(PD), i.e. the input is at high line, and • VCTRL is at maximum for more than timer defined by tPFCflag, and, • Vbulk is under 95% of nominal output, i.e. VLD is triggered. PFC Skip Mode In order to ensure a proper regulation in no load conditions, the circuit skips cycles when VCTRL is at its minimum level. VCTRL is maintained between about 0.6 V and 3.6 V due to the internal active clamps. A skip sequence occurs as long as the 0.6 V clamp circuitry is triggered and switching operations is recovered when the clamp is inactive. Fast Transient Response Given the low bandwidth of the regulation block, the output voltage of PFC stages may exhibit excessive over or under-shoots because of abrupt load or input voltage variations (such as start-up duration). As shown in Figure 52, if the output voltage is out of regulation, NCP1910 has 2 functions to maintain the output voltage regulation. The maximum pulling-down duration is defined by tLBO(PDlimit), which is 5 ms typically.

Under normal condition, the maximum sink and source of output current capability of OTA is around 30 mA. Due to the “Vout Low Detect” block (VLD), when the VFB is below 95% VPREF, an extra 200 mA current source (IVLD in Figure 52) will raise VCTRL rapidly. Hence prevent the PFC output from dropping too low and improve the transient response performance. The relationship between current flowing in/out VCTRL pin and VFB is as shown in Figure 53. than 105% of VPREF (i.e. Vbulk > 105% of nominal bulk voltage), the PFC driver output goes low for protection. The circuit automatically resumes operation when VFB becomes lower than 103.2% of VPREF, i.e. around 44 mV hysteresis in the OVP comparator. If the nominal Vbulk is set at 390 V, then the maximum bulk voltage is 105% of 390 V = 410 V. Hence a cost and size effective bulk capacitor of lower voltage rating is suitable for this application, Voltage-Low Detection (VLD): NCP1910 drastically speeds up the regulation loop by its internal 200 mA enhanced current source when the bulk voltage is below It is recommended to add a typical 100 pF capacitor CFB decoupling capacitor next to feedback pin to prevent from noise impact. 50 0 −50 2 2.2 2.4 2.6 2.8 −100 −150 No DRV when VFB is above 105% VPREF −200 −250 230 mA raises VCTRL rapidly when VFB is below 95% VPREF VFB Figure 53.

The PFC provides a “PFCok” signal to: • enable the dynamic response enhancer (IVLD) if Vbulk is below 95%, finish of the PFC soft-start, • enable the PFC frequency foldback, • enable the timer (tDEL1), which is to start the LLC-HB converter, • enable the timer (tDEL2), which is to stop LLC-HB converter once “PFCok” is asserted low or Vbulk is lower than PG level after LLC-HB has started. “PFCok” signal is high when • DRV starts operating and the PFC stage is above 95% of target, i.e. the VLD comparator output is high, or • the PFC stage is above 100% target, i.e. PFCREG comparator output is high. This “PFCok” signal is high when the PFC stage is in normal operation, i.e. its output is above 95% of normal output, and low otherwise.

PFCok Signal Block Diagram PFC Soft-Start This is to obtain a slow increasing duty cycle and hence reduce the voltage and current stress on the MOSFET. A soft-start operation is obtained. Refer to Figure 52 and 54. The device provides no PFC driver output when the VCTRL is lower than VCTRL(min). VCTRL is pulled low by: • VCC Under-Voltage Lockout, or • Off Signal from On/Off Pin, or • Thermal Shut-Down (TSD), or • Line Brown-Out, or • PFC Under-Voltage Protection PFC Under-Voltage Protection (UVP) for Open Loop Protection ICC2 Shutdown At one of these situations, NCP1910 grounds the VCTRL pin and turns off the 200 mA current source in regulation block. When the IC turns on again: • VCTRL will be pulled low and PFC DRV output keeps off until VCTRL is below VCTRL(min) to make PFC starts with lowest duty cycle. • The 200 mA current source block keeps off. Only the Operating Transconductance Amplifier (OTA) raises the VCTRL slowly. Operating ICC7 8% VPREF 12% VPREF VFB Figure 55. PFC Under-Voltage Protection As shown in Figure 55, when VFB is less than 8% of VPREF, the device is shut down. The device automatically starts operation when the output voltage goes above 12% of VPREF. In normal situation of boost converter configuration, the bulk voltage Vbulk is always greater than the input voltage Vin and the feedback signal VFB has to be always greater than 8% and 12% of VPREF to enable NCP1910 to operate. http://onsemi.com 28 NCP1910 The main purpose of this Under-Voltage Protection function is to protect the power stage from damage at feedback loop abnormal, such as VFB is grounded or the feedback resistor RFBU is open. • A 20 ms filter is built-in after the OVP2 comparator for Redundant Over-Voltage Protection (OVP2 pin) The resistance value of ROVPU and ROVPL could be the same as RFBU and RFBL depending on the requirement of OVP2 level. In this case, the level of the OVP in FB pin would be 105% of normal bulk voltage and OVP2 will be 107% of normal bulk voltage. Or if one would need a higher level for the OVP2, then it is flexible to change the value. If someone doesn’t need this OVP2 feature, then OVP2 function could be disable by grounding the OVP2 pin. • Except the Over-Voltage Protection in FB pin, NCP1910 also reserve one dedicated pin, OVP2 pin, for the redundant over voltage protection on bulk voltage. The purpose of this feature is to protect the power components from damage in case of any drift on the feedback resistor. As shown in Figure 56, the OVP2 has 3 differences compared to the OVP in FB pin: • The protection mode provided by OVP2 pin is latch-off. When OVP2 is triggered, the NCP1910 stays at latch off mode, i.e. both PFC and LLC stop. better noise immunity. The reference voltage for this OVP2 comparator is 107% of VPREF.

PFC 2nd Over-Voltage Protection PFC Abnormal However, as a D-flip-flop that creates division-by-two internally provides two outputs (A and B in Figure 57), the final effective signal on LLC driver outputs (ML and MU) switches between 25 kHz and 500 kHz. The CCO is configured in such a way that if the current that flows out from the Rt pin increases, the switching frequency also goes up. The PFC abnormal is detected by sensing VCTRL level. When VCTRL stays at VCTRL(max), or lower than VCTRL(min) – 0.1 V, for more than tPFCabnormal, PFC turns off first. After tDEL2, LLC shuts down. It is latches off protection. The main purpose of this feature is to avoid LLC from operating without correct operation of PFC stage.

The Current Controlled Oscillator Architecture and Configuration The internal timing capacitor Ct is charged by current which is proportional to the current flowing out from the Rt pin. The discharging current iDT is applied when voltage on this capacitor reaches VCtmax. The output drivers are disabled during discharge period so the dead time length is given by the discharge current sink capability. Discharge sink is disabled when voltage on the timing capacitor reaches zero and charging cycle starts again. Ct is grounded to disable the oscillator when either of “turn-off LLC” signals arrives. For the resonant applications, it is necessary to adjust minimum operating frequency with high accuracy. The designer also needs to limit maximum operating and startup frequency. All these parameters can be adjusted by using external components connected to the Rt pin as shown in Figure 57. The following approximate relationships hold for the minimum, maximum and startup frequency respectively: • The minimum switching frequency is given by the Rmin resistor value. This frequency is reached if there is no feedback action and soft start period has already elapsed. R min + 10 6V Rt 490 (eq. 22) F min • The maximum switching frequency excursion is limited by the Rmax selection. Note that the maximum frequency is influenced by the opto-coupler saturation voltage value. R max + 490 10 6V Rt F max * F min (eq. 23) • Resistor RSS together with capacitor CSS prepares the soft start period for the resonant converter. R SS + 490 10 6V Rt F SS * F min (eq. 24) Where: ♦ VRt = 3.5 V ♦ Fmin is the minimal frequency ♦ Fmax is the maximal frequency ♦ FSS is the maximal soft start switching frequency http://onsemi.com 30 NCP1910 LLC Power Good Signal and Brown-Out (PGadj, PGout and BOadj Pin) among VREF, PGadj, BOadj pin, and ground determine the levels of PGout signal and LLC brown-out as the following formulas: As shown in Figure 22, the NCP1910 provides the Brown-Out circuitry (BO) that offer a way to protect the resonant converter from operating at too low Vbulk. In the mean time, NCP1910 provides a Power Good signal (PGout) to inform the isolated secondary side that the NCP1910 is in order of match. Once the PFC has started and raises Vbulk above 95% of its regulated voltage, an internal “PFC_OK” signal is asserted. 20 ms later (tDEL1), the PGout pin is brought low. The PGout signal can now disappear, which will release PGout pin open, in two cases: • Vbulk decreases to the level, programmed by a reference voltage imposed on PGadj pin. This level is usually above the LLC turn-off voltage, programmed by BOadj pin. Therefore, in a normal turn-off sequence, PG first drops and informs the secondary side that it must be prepared for shutdown. • The second event that can drop the PG signal is when the PFC experiences a fault: broken feedback path (PFC UVP), PFC abnormal, or input line brown-out. In either case, the internal PFCok signal will drop and then assert the PGout signal high, and starts a 5 ms timer (tDEL2). Once this timer is elapsed, the LLC converter can be safely halted.

The definition of start-up, shut-off and these 2 delay timers (tDEL1 and tDEL2) will be depicted later in “combo management section”. There are the other 2 delay timers are built-in after the brown-out comparator: • tBOK is the delay timer after Vbulk is rising above the BO level. • tBONOTOK is the delay timer after Vbulk is falling down the BO level. Divide Equation 25 by 26, we can get the relationship between R2 and R3 in Equation 27: R2 R3 + V bulk,PG V bulk,BO *1 (eq. 27) Hence, by given Vbulk,PG and Vbulk,BO, and choose the value R3 as the 1st step, we can get the R2 by Equation 27 and R1 by Equation 26. For example, Vbulk,nom is 390 V, Vbulk,PG is 340 V, and Vbulk,BO is 330 V. Choose 10 kW resistor as R3. Then R2 is 303 W. Choose 300 W as it is the closet standard resistor. Then we can get the R1 is 13.3 kW. NCP1910 gets the information of Vbulk from the PFC FB pin, which minimizes the losses of the high voltage sensing circuit.

The PG and BO Block Diagram for LLC LLC Fast Fault Input (CS/FF Pin) (ML and MU) is shifted up to keep the primary current under acceptable level. In case of heavy overload, like transformer short circuit, the primary current grows very fast and thus could reach danger level. The NCP1910 therefore features additional comparator VCS2 (1.5 V typically) at the CS/FF pin to permanently latch the device (both PFC and LLC) and protect against destruction. As shown in Figure 59, the NCP1910 offers a dedicated input (CS/FF pin) to detect the primary over-current conditions and protect the power stage from damage. Once the voltage on the CS/FF pin exceeds the threshold of VCS1 (1 V typically), the internal switch at SS pin will be closed to discharge CSS until VSS is below VSS_RST (150 mV typically). Hence the switching frequency of LLC PFC_OVP2 CS/FF + − S Q Q VCS2 Latch ”1” to disable LLC and PFC driver, and pull down PFCok R PFC_BO Grand Reset + − ”1” to set the SR−latch to pull low SS pin VCS1 Figure 59. The Fast Fault Input at CS/FF pin http://onsemi.com 32 NCP1910 LLC Soft-Start (SS Pin) Once the LLC part starts operation, the internal switch at SS pin is released open and the empty soft-start capacitor withdraws current from Rt pin through soft-start resistor, RSS. This current charges up and soft-start capacitor and increases the operating frequency of LLC. As the soft-start capacitor is charged, the LLC driver output frequency smoothly decreases down to Fmin. Of course, practically, the feedback loop is supposed to take over the CCO lead as soon as the output voltage has reached the target. In resonant converter, a soft-start is needed to avoid suddenly applying the full current into the resonating circuit. NCP1910 reserves SS pin to fully discharge soft-start capacitor before re-start and in case of fault conditions: • LLC brown-out actives, • tDEL2 is elapsed, where tDEL2 timer could be activated by line brown-out or power good comparator, • CS/FF pin is above VCS1, the fast fault input for LLC, • VCC UVLO, • PFC UVP, • Off signal from on/off pin, or • Thermal Shut-Down (TSD) LLC Skip (Skip Pin, B Version Only) To avoid any frequency runaway in light conditions but also to improve the standby power consumption, the NCP1910B welcomes a skip mode operation (Skip pin) which permanently observes the opto-coupler collector as depicted in Figure 60. If skip pin senses a low voltage, it cuts the LLC output pulses (ML and MU pins) until the collector goes up again. When the switch inside SS pin is activated to discharge the soft-start capacitor, it keeps close until VSS is below VSS_RST (150 mV typically). It ensures the full discharge of soft-start capacitor before re-start, and hence the fresh soft-start is confirmed. Rt Rmax RSS Rmin SS Feedback opto−coupler CSS Skip − + VSkip Disable ML and MU Figure 60. The LLC Skip Mode Configuration LLC High-Voltage Driver normal bulk voltage. After PFCok signal is high, a timer (tDEL1) starts to ensure PFC stage is fully stable before LLC starts. When tDEL1 is elapsed, PGout pin is grounded and LLC starts its driver outputs (ML and MU pins). In case of shutdown by unplugging ac input or line brown out situation, PGout signal is released open. And then another timer (tDEL2) starts. Once the tDEL2 is elapsed, LLC stops its drivers (ML and MU pins). Figure 61 depicts the start-up and stop delay of LLC and PGout. Once the PFC is ready (PFCok is asserted high), tDEL1 (20 ms typically) is started. Once this delay is elapsed: • PGout pin is asserted low • LLC drivers (ML and MU pins) can start to operate. The NCP1910 includes a high-voltage driver allowing a direct connection to the upper side MOSFET of LLC converter. This device also incorporates an upper UVLO circuitry that makes sure enough gate voltage is available for the upper side MOSFET. The bias of the floating driver section is provided by Cboot capacitor between Vboot pin and HB pin that is refilled by external booststrap diode. The floating portion can go up to 600 Vdc and makes the IC perfectly suitable for offline applications featuring a 400 V PFC front-end stage. Combo Management Section Start-Up and Stop Delay of LLC and PGout Signal (tDEL1 and tDEL2) As shutdown by unplug ac input, Vbulk decreases: • When it reaches the PG signal, which is adjusted by PGadj pin, PGout pin is released open. To ensure the proper operation of LLC, LLC cannot start if the PFC is not ready. As depicted in the “PFCok signal” section, the internal PFCok signal is asserted high when Vbulk is above 95% of http://onsemi.com 33 NCP1910 • If Vbulk reaches the LLC stop level (BO level adjusted • PGout pin is released open once this internal PFCok by BOadj pin), the LLC stops; or if Vbulk drops slowly, e.g. light load, LLC drivers (ML and MU pins) will stop 5 ms after PGout pin is released (tDEL2). signal is low. LLC drivers (ML and MU pins) will stop 5 ms after PGout pin is released open (tDEL2). • As shutdown by line brown-out situation, PFCok signal will be pulled down: Vbulk 95% PG level BO level tDEL1 20 ms PGout tDEL2 LLC works off 5 ms off time Figure 61.

PFC and LLC immediately and keeps low consumption. Figure 62 depicts the relationship between the operation mode and on/off pin. State ON OFF On/off pin TBD ICC < 600 mA Voff Von On/off pin Figure 62. Remote on/off (on/off Pin) VCC Under-Voltage LockOut (UVLO) some hysteresis (VCC(Hys)) to prevent erratic operation as the VCC crosses the threshold. When VCC goes below the UVLO comparator lower threshold (VCC(min)), the circuit turns off. It is illustrated in Figure 63. After startup, the operating range is between 9 V and 20 V. The device incorporates an Under-Voltage Lockout block to prevent the circuit from operating when VCC is too low in order to ensure a proper operation. An UVLO comparator monitors VCC pin voltage to allow the NCP1910 to operate when VCC exceeds VCC(on). The comparator incorporates http://onsemi.com 34 NCP1910 State ON OFF TBD ICC VCC < 100mA VCC(on) VCC(min) VCC Figure 63. VCC Under-Voltage LockOut (UVLO) Bias the Controller converter, and the frequency foldback level (fold pin) of PFC can hence can get an accurate reference voltage by resistor dividers. It is recommended to add a typical 1 nF to 100 nF decoupling capacitor next to the VCC pin for proper operation. The hysteresis between VCC(on) and VCC(min) is small because the NCP1910 is supposed to be biased by external power source. Therefore it is recommended to make a low-voltage source to bias NCP1910, e.g. the standby power supply. Latched Protections and Reset As depicated in the above sections, there are 3 fault modes that latch off both PFC and LLC: • PFC abnormal • PFC OVP2 • LLC CS/FF pin is above VCS2 Thermal Shutdown An internal thermal circuitry disables the circuit gate drive and then keeps the power switch off when the junction temperature exceeds TSD level. The output stage is then enabled once the temperature drops below typically 110°C (i.e. TSD − TSDhyste). The thermal shutdown is provided to prevent possible device failures that could result from an accidental over-heating. To release from the latch-off mode, NCP1910 offers 3 ways: • Recycle VCC so that VCC is below VCC(min) and back to above VCC(on) again. • Recycle the remote on/off function, which toggles on/off pin high and low again. • Recycle the line brown-out function, which could be done by unplug and re-plug the ac input. 5 V Reference The VREF pin provides an accurate (±2% typically) 5 V reference voltage.
