NCP1015 Self-Supplied Monolithic Switcher for Low StandbyPower Offline SMPS The NCP1015 integrates a fixed−frequency current−mode controller and a 700 V voltage MOSFET. Housed in a PDIP−7 or SOT−223 package, the NCP1015 offers everything needed to build a rugged and low−cost power supply, including soft−start, frequency jittering, short−circuit protection, skip−cycle, a maximum peak current set−point and a Dynamic Self−Supply (no need for an auxiliary winding). Unlike other monolithic solutions, the NCP1015 is quiet by nature: during nominal load operation, the part switches at one of the available frequencies (65−100 kHz). When the current set−point falls below a given value, e.g. the output power demand diminishes, the IC automatically enters the so−called skip cycle mode and provides excellent efficiency at light loads. Because this occurs at typically 0.25 of the maximum peak value, no acoustic noise takes place. As a result, standby power is reduced to the minimum without acoustic noise generation. Short−circuit detection takes place when the feedback signal fades away e.g. un−true short−circuit or is broken optocoupler cases. Finally soft−start and frequency jittering further ease the designer task to quickly develop low−cost and robust offline power supplies. For improved standby performance, the connection of an auxiliary winding stops the DSS operation and helps to consume less than 100 mW at high line.

Ready−to−use templates can be downloaded in OrCAD’s PSpice, and INTUSOFT’s IsSpice4 from ON Semiconductor web site, NCP1015 related section. The NCP1015 offers a complete current−mode control solution (actually an enhanced NCP1200 controller section) together with a high−voltage power MOSFET in a monolithic structure. The component integrates everything needed to build a rugged and low−cost Switch−Mode Power Supply (SMPS) featuring low standby power. The quick selection table details the differences in operating frequency. • No need for an auxiliary winding: ON Semiconductor Very High Voltage Integrated Circuit technology lets you supply the IC directly from the high−voltage dc rail. We call it Dynamic Self−Supply (DSS). This solution simplifies the transformer design and ensures a better control of the SMPS in difficult output conditions, e.g. constant current operations. However, for improved standby performance, an auxiliary winding can be connected to the VCC pin to disable the DSS operation. • Short−circuit protection: by permanently monitoring the feedback line activity, the IC is able to detect the presence short−circuit, immediately reducing the output power for a total system protection. Once the short has disappeared, the controller resumes and goes back to normal operation. • Low standby−power: If SMPS naturally exhibit a good efficiency at nominal load, they begin to be less efficient when the output power demand diminishes. By skipping un−needed switching cycles, the NCP1015 drastically reduces the power wasted during light load conditions. An auxiliary winding can further help decreasing the standby power to extremely low levels by invalidating the DSS operation. Typical measurements show results below 80 mW @ 230 Vac for a typical 7 W universal power supply. • No acoustic noise while operating: Instead of skipping cycles at high peak currents, the NCP1015 waits until the peak current demand falls below a fixed 0.25 of the maximum limit. As a result, cycle skipping can take place without having a singing transformer. You can thus select cheap magnetic components free of noise problems. • SPICE model: a dedicated model to run transient cycle−by−cycle simulations is available but also an Dynamic Self−Supply When the power supply is first powered from the mains outlet, the internal current source (typically 8 mA) is biased and charges up the VCC capacitor from the drain pin. Once the voltage on this VCC capacitor reaches the VCC(off) level (typically 8.5 V), the current source turns off and pulses are delivered by the output stage: the circuit is awake and activates the power MOSFET. Figure 12 details the internal circuitry: Vref OFF = 8.5 V Vref ON = 7.5 V VrefLatch = 4.7 V + Startup Source Internal Supply + Vref Drain VCC(off) +200 mV (8.7 V Typ.) VCC + CVCC Figure 12. The Current Source Regulates VCC by Introducing a Ripple Being loaded by the circuit consumption, the voltage on the VCC capacitor goes down. When the DSS controller detects that VCC has reached 7.5 V (VCC(on)), it activates the internal current source to bring VCC toward 8.5 V and stops again: a cycle takes place whose low frequency depends on the VCC capacitor and the IC consumption. A 1 V ripple takes place on the VCC pin whose average value equals (VCC(off) + VCC(on)) / 2. Figure 13 shows a typical operation of the DSS. http://onsemi.com 7 NCP1015 8.5V 8.00 7.5V Vcc 6.00 4.00 Device internally pulses 2.00 0 Startup period Figure 13. The Charge/Discharge Cycle over a 10 mF VCC Capacitor the so−called latch−off level, where the current source activates again to attempt a new re−start. If the error has gone, the IC automatically resumes its operation. If the default is still there, the IC pulses during 8.5 V down to 7.5 V and enters a new latch−off phase. The resulting burst operation guarantees a low average power dissipation and lets the SMPS sustain a permanent short−circuit. Figure 14 presents the corresponding diagram: As one can see, the VCC capacitor shall be dimensioned to offer an adequate startup time, i.e. ensure regulation is reached before VCC crosses 7.5 V (otherwise the part enters the fault condition mode). If we know that DV = 1 V and ICC1 is 1.2 mA (for instance we selected a 11 W device switching at 65 kHz), then the VCC capacitor can be calculated using: Cw ICC1 @ t startup DV (eq. 1) Let’s suppose that the SMPS needs 10 ms to startup, then we will calculate C to offer a 15 ms period. As a result, C should be greater than 18 mF thus the selection of a 33 mF / 16 V capacitor is appropriate. Current Sense Information 4V FB Short Circuit Protection The internal protection circuitry involves a patented arrangement that permanently monitors the assertion of an internal error flag. This error flag is, in fact, a signal that instructs the controller that the internal maximum peak current limit is reached. This naturally occurs during the startup period (Vout is not stabilized to the target value) or when the optocoupler LED is no longer biased, e.g in a short−circuit condition or when the feedback network is broken. When the DSS normally operates, the logic checks for the presence of the error flag every time VCC crosses VCC(on). If the error flag is low (peak limit not active) then the IC works normally. If the error signal is active, then the NCP1015 immediately stops the output pulses, reduces its internal current consumption and does not allow the startup source to activate: VCC drops toward ground until it reaches + − Division Max Ip Clamp Active? VCC To Latch Reset VCC(on) Flag Figure 14.

NCP1015 Facing a Fault Condition (Vin = 150 Vdc) The rising slope from the latch−off level up to 8.5 V is expressed by: Figure 16 shows a typical drain−ground wave−shape where leakage effects have been removed: P DSS + V in @ ICC1 Vds(t) t start + DV1 @ C IC1 toff The time during which the IC actually pulses is given by: t sw + DV2 @ C ICC1 Vin Vr dt Finally, the latch−off time can be derived using the same formula topology: t latch + DV3 @ C ICC2 ton From these three definitions, the burst duty−cycle D can be computed: Tsw t sw t start ) t sw ) t latch (eq. 2) Figure 16.

In the Flyback−based converters, this drain level can easily go above 600 V peak and thus increase the stress on the DSS startup source. However, the drain voltage evolves with time and its period is small compared to that of the DSS. As a result, the averaged dissipation, excluding capacitive losses, can be derived by: P DSS + ICC1 @t V DS(t) u t off t sw t t on ) V r @ off t sw t sw (eq. 6) toff can be expressed by: t off + I p @ Lp Vr (eq. 7) Lp V in (eq. 8) ton can be evaluated by: t on + I p @ (eq. 4) http://onsemi.com 9 NCP1015 Plugging Equation 7 and Equation 8 into Equation 6 leads to <Vds(t)> = Vin and thus: P DSS + V in @ ICC1 V nom * V clamp I trip (eq. 9) v R lim v V stby * V CC(on) ICC1 (eq. 10) Where: Vnom is the auxiliary voltage at nominal load Vstdby is the auxiliary voltage when standby is entered Itrip is the current corresponding to the nominal operation. It thus must be selected to avoid false tripping in overshoot conditions. ICC1 is the controller consumption. This number slightly decreases compared to ICC1 from the spec since the part in standby does almost not switch. VCC(on) is the level above which Vaux must be maintained to keep the DSS in the OFF mode. It is good to shoot around 8 V in order to offer an adequate design margin, e.g. to not re−activate the startup source (which is not a problem in itself if low standby power does not matter) Since Rlimit shall not bother the controller in standby, e.g. keep Vaux to around 8 V (as selected above), we purposely select a Vnom well above this value. As explained before, experience shows that a 40% decrease can be seen on auxiliary windings from nominal operation down to standby mode. Let’s select a nominal auxiliary winding of 20 V to offer sufficient margin regarding 8 V when in standby (Rlimit also drops voltage in standby). Plugging the values in Equation 10 gives the limits within which Rlimit shall be selected: The worse case occurs at high line, when Vin equals 370 Vdc. With ICC1 = 1.2 mA (65 kHz version), we can expect a DSS dissipation around 440 mW. If you select a higher switching frequency version, the ICC1 increases and it is likely that the DSS consumption exceeds 500 mW. In that case, we recommend adding an auxiliary winding in order to offer more dissipation room to the power MOSFET. Please read application note AND8125/D “Evaluating the power capability of the NCP101X members” to help selecting the right part / configuration for your application. Lowering the Standby Power with an Auxiliary Winding The DSS operation can bother the designer when a) its dissipation is too high b) extremely low standby power is a must. In both cases, one can connect an auxiliary winding to disable the self−supply. The current source then ensures the startup sequence only and stays in the off state as long as VCC does not drop below VCC(on) or 7.5 V. Figure 17 shows that the insertion of a resistor (Rlimit) between the auxiliary dc level and the VCC pin is mandatory a) not to damage the internal 8.7 V zener diode during an overshoot for instance (absolute maximum current is 15 mA) b) to implement the fail−safe optocoupler protection as offered by the active clamp. Please note that there cannot be bad interaction between the clamping voltage of the internal zener and VCC(off) since this clamping voltage is actually built on top of VCC(off) with a fixed amount of offset (200 mV typical). Self−supplying controllers in extremely low standby applications often puzzles the designer. Actually, if a SMPS operated at nominal load can deliver an auxiliary voltage of an arbitrary 16 V (Vnom), this voltage can drop to below 10 V (Vstby) when entering standby. This is because the recurrence of the switching pulses expands so much that the low frequency re−fueling rate of the VCC capacitor is not enough to keep a proper auxiliary voltage. Figure 18 shows a typical scope shot of a SMPS entering deep standby (output un−loaded). So care must be taken when calculating Rlimit 1) to not excess the maximum pin current in normal operation but 2) not to drop too much voltage over Rlimit when entering standby. Otherwise the DSS could reactivate and the standby performance would degrade. We are thus able to bound Rlimit between two equations: 20 * 8.7 v R 12 * 8 limit v 1.1 m 6.3 m (eq. 11) that is to say: 1.8 kW < Rlimit < 3.6 kW. If we are designing a power supply delivering 12 V, then the ratio auxiliary/power must be: 12 / 20 = 0.6. The ICC current has to not exceed 6.4 mA. This will occur when Vaux grows−up to: 8.7 V + 1.8 k x (6.4 m + 1.1 m) = 22.2 V for the first boundary or 8.7 V + 3.6 k x (6.4 m +1.1 m) = 35.7 V for second boundary. On the power output, it will respectively give 22.6 x 0.6 = 13.3 V and 35.7 x 0.6 = 21.4 V. As one can see, tweaking the Rlimit value will allow the selection of a given overvoltage output level. Theoretically predicting the auxiliary drop from nominal to standby is an almost impossible exercise since many parameters are involved, including the converter time constants. Fine tuning of Rlimit thus requires a few iterations and experiments on a breadboard to check Vaux variations but also output voltage excursion in fault. Once properly adjusted, the fail−safe protection will preclude any lethal voltage runaways in case a problem would occur in the feedback loop. http://onsemi.com 10 NCP1015 Drain VCC(off) = 8.5 V VCC(on) = 7.5 V + - Startup Source + VCC Rlimit D1 + + − + CVCC + CAux Laux Ground Figure 17. A Detailed View of the NCP1015 with Properly Connected Auxiliary Winding u30 ms Figure 18. The Burst Frequency becomes So Low that it is Difficult to Keep an Adequate Level on the Auxiliary VCC Lowering the Standby Power with Skip−cycle excited by the skipping pulses. A possible solution, successfully implemented in the NCP1200 series, also authorizes skip cycle but only when the power demand as dropped below a given level. At this time, the peak current is reduced and no noise can be heard. Figure 19 shows the peak current evolution of the NCP1015 entering standby: Skip cycle offers an efficient way to reduce the standby power by skipping unwanted cycles at light loads. However, the recurrent frequency in skip often enters the audible range and a high peak current obviously generates acoustic noise in the transformer. The noise takes its origins in the resonance of the transformer mechanical structure which is http://onsemi.com 11 NCP1015 100% Peak current at nominal power Skip−cycle current limit 25% Figure 19. Low Peak Current Skip−Cycle Guarantees Noise−Free Operation the benefit to artificially reduce the measurement noise on a standard EMI receiver and pass the tests more easily. The EMI sweep is implemented by routing the VCC ripple (induced by the DSS activity) to the internal oscillator. As a result, the switching frequency moves up and down to the DSS rhythm. Typical deviation is ±4% of the nominal frequency. With a 1 V peak−to−peak ripple, the frequency will equal 65 kHz in the middle of the ripple and will increase as VCC rises or decrease as VCC ramps down. Figure 20 shows the behavior we have adopted: Full power operation involves the nominal switching frequency and thus avoids any noise when running. Experiments carried on a 5 W universal mains board unveiled a standby power of 300 mW @ 230 Vac with the DSS activated and dropped to less than 100 mW when an auxiliary winding is connected. Frequency Jittering for Improved EMI Signature By sweeping the switching frequency around its nominal value, it spreads the energy content on adjacent frequencies rather than keeping it centered in one single ray. This offers VCC Ripple VCCOFF 67.6 kHz 65 kHz 62.4 kHz Internal Sawtooth VCCON Figure 20. The VCC Ripple Causes the Frequency Jittering on the Internal Oscillator Saw−tooth (65 kHz version) http://onsemi.com 12 NCP1015 Soft−Start soft−start is also activated during the over current burst (OCP) sequence. Every re−start attempt is followed by a soft−start activation. Generally speaking, the soft−start will be activated when VCC ramps up either from zero (fresh power−on sequence) or 4.5 V, the latch−off voltage occurring during OCP. Figure 21 shows the soft−start behavior. The time scales are purposely shifted to offer a better zoom portion. The NCP1015 features an internal 1 ms soft−start activated during the power on sequence (PON). As soon as VCC reaches VCC(off), the peak current is gradually increased from nearly zero up to the maximum internal clamping level (e.g. 350 mA). This situation lasts 1 ms and further to that time period, the peak current limit is blocked to the maximum until the supply enters regulation.

By pulling FB below the internal skip level (Vskip), the output pulses are disabled. As soon as FB is relaxed, the IC resumes its operation. Figure 22 shows the application example: In some cases, it might be desirable to shut off the part temporarily and authorize its re−start once the default has disappeared. This option can easily be accomplished through a single NPN bipolar transistor wired between FB 1 8 2 7 3 4 ON/OFF + 5 Transformer CVCC Figure 22. A Non−latching Shutdown where Pulses are Stopped as long as the NPN is Biased Full Latching Shutdown When the OVP level exceeds the zener breakdown voltage, the NPN biases the PNP and fires the equivalent SCR, permanently bringing down the FB pin. The switching pulses are disabled until the user un−plugs the power supply. Other applications require a full latching shutdown, e.g. when an abnormal situation is detected (over temp or overvoltage). This feature can easily be implemented through two external transistors wired as a discrete SCR. http://onsemi.com 13 NCP1015 Rhold 12 k OVP 10 k 1 8 2 7 3 BAT54 4 + 0.1 mF 5 Transformer CVCC 10 k Figure 23. Two Bipolar Transistors Ensures a Total Latch−off of the SMPS in Presence of an OVP Rhold ensures that the SCR stays on when fired. The bias current flowing through Rhold should be small enough to let the VCC ramp up (8.5 V) and down (7.5 V) when the SCR is fired. The NPN base can also receive a signal from a temperature sensor. Typical bipolar can be MMBT2222 and MMBT2907 for the discrete latch. The NST3946 features two bipolar NPN + PNP in the same package and could also be used. P max + T J(max) * T AMB(max) R qJA (eq. 12) which gives around 1 W for an ambient of 50°C. The losses inherent to the MOSFET RDS(on) can be evaluated using the following formula: P mos + 1 @ I p 2 @ D @ R DS(on) 3 (eq. 13) where Ip is the worse case peak current (at the lowest line input), D is the converter operating duty−cycle and RDS(on) the MOSFET resistance for TJ = 100°C. This formula is only valid for Discontinuous Conduction Mode (DCM) operation where the turn−on losses are null (the primary current is zero when you re−start the MOSFET). Figure 24 gives a possible layout to help dropping the thermal resistance. When measured on a 35 mm (1 oz.) copper thickness PCB, we obtained a thermal resistance of 75°C/W: Power Dissipation and Heatsinking The power dissipation of NCP1015 consists of the dissipation DSS current−source (when active) and the dissipation of MOSFET. Thus Ptot = PDSS + PMOSFET. When the PDIP7 package is surrounded by copper, it becomes possible to drop its thermal resistance junction−to−ambient, RqJA down to 75°C/W and thus dissipate more power. The maximum power the device can thus evacuate is: Clamping Elements To Secondary Diode DC Figure 24. A Possible PCB Arrangement to Reduce the Thermal Resistance Junction−to−Ambient Design Procedure 1. In any case, the lateral MOSFET body−diode shall never be forward biased, either during start−up (because of a large leakage inductance) or in normal operation as shown by Figure 25. The design of a SMPS around a monolithic device does not differ from that of a standard circuit using a controller and a MOSFET. However, one needs to be aware of certain characteristics specific of monolithic devices: http://onsemi.com 14 NCP1015 350 250 150 50.0 > 0 !! −50.0 1.004M 1.011M 1.018M 1.025M 1.032M Figure 25. The Drain−Source Wave Shall Always be Positive . . . As a result, the Flyback voltage which is reflected on the drain at the switch opening cannot be larger than the input voltage. When selecting components, you thus must adopt a turn ratio which adheres to the following equation: N @ (V out ) V f) t V IN(min) e.g. the Vout target is almost reached and Ip is still pushed to the maximum. Taking into account all previous remarks, it becomes possible to calculate the maximum power that can be transferred at low line: When the switch closes, Vin is applied across the primary inductance Lp until the current reaches the level imposed by the feedback loop. The duration of this event is called the ON time and can be defined by: (eq. 14) For instance, if you operate from a 120 V dc rail and you deliver 12 V, we can select a reflected voltage of 100 VDC maximum: 120 − 100 > 0. Therefore, the turn ratio Np : Ns must be smaller than 100 / (12 + 1) = 7.7 or Np : Ns < 7.7. We will see later on how it affects the calculation. 2. Current−mode architecture is, by definition, sensitive to subharmonic oscillations. Subharmonic oscillations only occur when the SMPS is operating in Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM) together with a duty−cycle greater than 50%. As a result, we recommend operating the device in DCM only, whatever duty−cycle it implies (max. = 65%). 3. Lateral Mosfets have a poorly doped body−diode which naturally limits their ability to sustain the avalanche. A traditional RCD clamping network shall thus be installed to protect the MOSFET. In some low power applications, a simple capacitor can also be used since: V DRAIN(max) + V in ) N @ (V out ) V f) ) I p @ t on + Lp @ Ip V in (eq. 16) At the switch opening, the primary energy is transferred to the secondary and the flyback voltage appears across Lp, reseting the transformer core with a slope of: N @ (V out ) V f) @ t off Lp the toff time is thus: t off + Lp @ Ip N @ (V out ) V f) (eq. 17) If one wants to keep DCM only, but still need to pass the maximum power, we will not allow a dead−time after the core is reset, but rather immediately re−start. The switching time tsw can be expressed by: t sw + t off ) t on + L p @ I p @ Ǹ Lf (eq. 15) C tot ǒ Ǔ 1 ) 1 (eq. 18) V in N @ (V out ) V f) The Flyback transfer formula dictates that: P out 1 2 h + 2 @ L p @ I p @ f sw where Lf is the leakage inductance, Ctot the total capacitance at the drain node (which is increased by the capacitor you will wire between drain and source), N the Np : Ns turn ratio, Vout the output voltage, Vf the secondary diode forward drop and finally, Ip the maximum peak current. Worse case occurs when the SMPS is very close to regulation, (eq. 19) which, by extracting Ip and plugging into Equation 19 leads to: t sw + L p Ǹ ǒ 2 @ P out 1 @ 1 ) V in N @ (V out ) V f) h @ f sw @ L p Extracting Lp from Equation 20 gives: http://onsemi.com 15 Ǔ (eq. 20) NCP1015 L Pcritical + (V in @ V r) 2 @ h 2 @ f sw @ [P out @ (V r 2 ) 2 @ V r @ V in ) V in 2)] with Vr = N . (Vout + Vf) and h the efficiency. If Lp critical gives the inductance value above which DCM operation is lost, there is another expression we can write to connect Lp, the primary peak current bounded by the NCP1015 and the maximum duty−cycle that needs to stay below 50%: L P(max) + D max @ V IN(min) @ t sw I P(max) P max + t sw 2 @ V IN(min) 2 @ V r 2 @ h @ (eq. 21) where VIN(min) corresponds to the lowest bulk voltage, hence the longest ton duration or largest duty−cycle. IP(max) is the available peak current from the considered part, e.g. 450 mA typical for the NCP1015 (however, the minimum value of this parameter shall be considered for reliable evaluation). Combining Equations 21 and 22 gives the maximum theoretical power you can pass respecting the peak current capability of the NCP1015, the maximum duty−cycle and the discontinuous mode operation: (eq. 22) f sw (eq. 23) (2L P(max)V r 2 ) 4L P(max)V rV IN(min) ) V IN(min) 2) From Equation 22 we obtain the operating duty−cycle D: D+ Ip @ Lp V in @ t sw (eq. 24) This lets us calculate the RMS current circulating in the MOSFET: I D(rms) + I p @ ǸD3 Applying the above equations leads to : Selected maximum reflected voltage = 120 V with Vout = 12 V, secondary drop = 0.5 V ³ Np : Ns = 1 : 0.1 Lp critical = 3.9 mH Ip = 250 mA Dmax = 0.39 IDRAIN(rms) = 90 mA (eq. 25) From this equation, we obtain the average dissipation in the MOSFET: P avg + 1 @ I p 2 @ D @ R DS(on) 3 (eq. 26) PMOSFET = 202 mW at RDS(on) = 25 W (TJ > 100°C) PDSS = 1.2 mA x 350 V = 420 mW, if DSS is used Secondary diode voltage stress = (350 x 0.1) + 12 = 47 V (e.g. a MBRS360T3, 3 A / 60 V would fit) to which switching losses shall be added. If we stick to Equation 23, compute Lp and follow the above calculations, we will discover that a power supply built with the NCP1015 and operating from a 100 Vac line minimum will not be able to deliver more than 7 W continuous, regardless of the selected switching frequency (however the transformer core size will go down as fsw is increased). This number grows up significantly when operated from single European mains (18 W). For more different flyback converters then are the below examples we recommend use following support: 1) Application note AND8125/D “Evaluating the power capability of the NCP101X members” 2) Application note AND8134/D “Designing Converters with the NCP101X members.” 3) Application note AND8142/D “A 6W/12W Universal mains adapter with NCP101X series”. 4) The PSpice or Orcad simulation models Example 2.: A 12 V 16 W SMPS Operating on Narrow European Mains with NCP1015: Vin = 230 Vac ± 15%, or 276 Vdc ÷ 370 Vdc Efficiency = 80% Vout = 12 V, Iout = 1.25 A fsw = 65 kHz IP(max) = 450 mA − 10% = 405 mA Applying the equations leads to : Selected maximum reflected voltage = 250 V with Vout = 12 V, secondary drop = 0.5 V ³ Np : Ns = 1:0.05 Lp = 7,2 mH Ip = 0.27 mA Dmax = 0.41 IDRAIN(rms) = 100 mA Example 1.: A 12 V 7.0 W SMPS Operating on a Large Mains with NCP1015: Vin = 100 Vac ÷ 250 Vac or 140 Vdc ÷ 350 Vdc once rectified, assuming a low bulk ripple Efficiency = 80% Vout = 12 V, Iout = 580 mA fsw = 65 kHz IP(max) = 450 mA − 10% = 405 mA PMOSFET = 250 mW at RDS(on) = 25 W (TJ > 100°C) PDSS = 1.2 mA x 370 V = 444 mW, if DSS is used below an ambient of 50°C. Secondary diode voltage stress = (370 x 0.05) + 12 = 30.5 V (e.g. a MBRS340T3, 3 A / 40 V) http://onsemi.com 16 NCP1015 MOSFET Protection Please note that these calculations assume a flat DC rail whereas a 10 ms ripple naturally affects the final voltage available on the transformer end. Once the Bulk capacitor has been selected, one should check that the resulting ripple (min Vbulk?) is still compatible with the above calculations. As an example, to benefit from the largest operating range, a 7 W board was built with a 47 mF bulk capacitor which ensured discontinuous operation even in the ripple minimum waves. HV As in any Flyback design, it is important to limit the drain excursion to a safe value, e.g. below the MOSFET BVdss which is 700 V. Figures 26A, B, and C present possible implementations: HV HV Rclamp Cclamp Dz D D CVcc 1 8 1 8 1 2 7 2 7 2 7 3 6 3 6 3 6 4 5 4 5 4 5 NCP1015 CVcc NCP1015 C CVc c NCP1015 C B A 8 Figure 26. Different Options to Clamp the Leakage Spike current. Worse case occurs when Ip and Vin are maximum and Vout is close to reach the steady−state value. Figure 26C: This option is probably the most expensive of all three but it offers the best protection degree. If you need a very precise clamping level, you must implement a zener diode or a TVS. There are little technology differences behind a standard zener diode and a TVS. However, the die area is far bigger for a transient suppressor than that of zener. A 5 W zener diode like the 1N5388B will accept 180 W peak power if it lasts less than 8.3 ms. If the peak current in the worse case (e.g. when the PWM circuit maximum current limit works) multiplied by the nominal zener voltage exceeds these 180 W, then the diode will be destroyed when the supply experiences overloads. A transient suppressor like the P6KE200 still dissipates 5 W of continuous power but is able to accept surges up to 600 W @ 1 ms. Select the zener or TVS clamping level between 40 to 80 volts above the reflected output voltage when the supply is heavily loaded. Figure 26A: The simple capacitor limits the voltage according to Equation 15. This option is only valid for low power applications, e.g. below 5 W, otherwise chances exist to destroy the MOSFET. After evaluating the leakage inductance, you can compute C with Equation 15. Typical values are between 100 pF and up to 470 pF. Large capacitors increase capacitive losses. Figure 26B: The most standard circuitry called the RCD network. You calculate Rclamp and Cclamp using the following formulas: R clamp + 2 @ V clamp @ (V clamp * (V out ) V f sec) @ N) L leak @ I p 2 @ f sw C clamp + V clamp V ripple @ f sw @ R clamp (eq. 27) (eq. 28) Vclamp is usually selected 50−80 V above the reflected value N x (Vout + Vf). The diode needs to be a fast one and a MUR160 represents a good choice. One major drawback of the RCD network lies in its dependency upon the peak http://onsemi.com 17 NCP1015 Typical Application Examples input range. The board uses the Dynamic Self−Supply and a simplified zener−type feedback. This configuration was selected for cost reasons and a more precise circuitry can be used, e.g. based on a TL431: A 6.5 W NCP1015−based Flyback converter. (For evaluation a universal NCP1012 demo−board can be used) Figure 27 shows a converter originally built with a NCP1012 which can be easily used for evaluation of NCP1015 device delivering 6.5 W from a universal volts D1 1N4007 1 TR1 8 7 D2 1N4007 E1 10 m/400 V R1 47 R 1 D3 1N4007 D4 1N4007 D5 U160 4 6 5 IC1 NCP1012 1 2 J1 CEE7.5/2 C1 2n2/Y R2 150 k VCC DRAIN 2 GND 3 GND 7 GND E2 10 m/63 V FB GND 5 4 IC2 PC817 D6 B150 E3 470 m/25 V ZD1 11 V R3 100 R 8 2 1 J2 CZM5/2 R4 180 R C2 2n2/Y Figure 27.

In this application, the feedback is made via a TLV431 whose low bias current (100 mA min) helps to lower the no−load standby power.
