APPLICATION NOTE
INTRODUCTION
The NCP1200 represents one of the cheapest solutions to
build efficient and cost-effective Switch-Mode Power
Supplies (SMPS). As this design example will show, the part
definition does not confine the component in low-power
applications only, but it can actually be used in Flyback and
Forward supplies for virtually any output power. The below
example depicts a universal mains 90-260 VAC power
supply delivering 16.5 V @ 4.5 A.
Beside its ease of implementation, the NCP1200 excels in
true low standby power designs. This application note
details how an amazing standby power of less than 100 mW
can be reached at high line with a nominal 70 W board.
this level. Thanks to the natural secondary / auxiliary
reflection, the primary auxiliary winding cannot
maintain a sufficient voltage on the control IC: Vcc
collapses and puts the controller in trouble, probably
entering an hiccup mode, similar to that of a startup
sequence. DSS being decoupled from Vout, you never
see that phenomenon.
As you can see, the DSS offers interesting features but, on
the other hand, it can sometimes compromise key design
parameters. Standby power and power dissipation are one of
these:
• Standby power: the DSS standby power contribution
can easily be evaluated: VHV × Iavg with Iavg, the current
consumption taken by the controller and VHV, the
high-voltage supply rail. If Iavg equals 1 mA, then we
have a standby power of 350 mW at a 350 VDC voltage
rail. Tricks exist to slightly reduce it, like the half-wave
diode, but you will only gain between 20–30%.
• Power dissipation: as stated above, all the current
consumed by the IC is seen through pin8. This is due to
the self-adaptive feature of the DSS. Should the IC
current move up or down, the DSS duty-cycle will
automatically adjust to deliver it. The controller current
depends on the internal IC consumption, but also on the
type of MOSFET connected to the output. It therefore
important to assess the total current drawn from the HV
rail and checks the right compatibility with the package
type. All details are given in the NCP1200 dedicated
data sheet and the application note AND8023/D.
As a result, the answer lies behind your design constraints.
If you would like to have a precise Over Current Protection
(OCP) trip point while driving a moderate size MOSFET,
DSS can be a good choice, provided low standby power is
not an absolute necessity. In our case, we want to drive a
large MOSFET for a better efficiency but we need to reach
the lowest possible standby power. We will thus adopt an
auxiliary winding configuration to permanently disable the
DSS. Solutions to various combinations of these constraints
are described in the application note “Tips and Tricks for the
NCP1200,” document number AND8069/D.
DSS or Not DSS?
The Dynamic Self Supply (DSS) lets you directly drive
MOSFETs from the high-voltage rail. This option brings
you several advantages, as stated below:
• True overload detection: with UC384X-based systems,
the switching oscillations are stopped in case the Vcc
line drops below a given Undervoltage Lockout level
(UVLO). This principle considers a good coupling
between the primary auxiliary winding and the power
secondary winding. Unfortunately, leakage elements
often degrade this coupling and you only can detect true
short-circuit (when Vout is close to zero) and not
overload conditions. Thanks to the DSS, the NCP1200
does not need an auxiliary information to sense an
overload condition. By detecting a current setpoint
pushed to the maximum, the internal logic takes the
decision to enter into a safe burst operation,
auto-recovering when the default leaves. Precise
overload levels can thus be implemented.
• Guaranteed operation at low output levels: the Vcc
delivered by an auxiliary winding moves with the
power output level because a coupling exists between
both windings. When the supply is used in battery
charging applications, Vout can move depending on the
charging state. That is to say, when the battery is nearly
empty, its voltage can be close to zero, forcing Vout at

Self-Powering the Controller in Standby
An auxiliary winding does not usually cause any
self-supply problem with a continuous pulses flow. In
standby, whatever implemented frequency reduction
techniques (e.g. skip or frequency foldback), the recurrence
between pulses can become very low. By definition, the
feedback loop manages to keep the energy content in each
burst high enough to maintain the nominal output voltage.
However, on the auxiliary side, it can be difficult to keep the
Vcc above the controller’s UVLO. Remember, to
permanently disable the DSS, you need to guarantee a level
above VccON max. which is 11 V for the NCP1200. Failure
to do this will re-activate the DSS in no-load conditions and
standby power will be degraded. Figure 1 offers a view of a
typical bunch of pulses captured in standby at a 127 VDC
input voltage.
auxiliary output gets clamped by a 15V Zener diode in
nominal operation. Figure 2 shows the option.
We measured a Vcc of 11.5 V @ 230 VAC and 12.2 V @
90 VAC. Rlimit on Figure 2 can easily be adjusted to move
these values up or down, depending on the final winding
ratios. Care must be taken to avoid over-dissipation of the
15 V Zener diode in nominal conditions.

Bulk Capacitor
Figure 3 portrays the typical waveform captured across a
bulk capacitor delivering power to a given charge. To
simplify the calculation, we will neglect the charging period
and thus consider a total discharge time equal to 1/(2 ⋅ Fline).
From the design characteristics, we can evaluate the
equivalent current (Iload) drawn by the charge at the lowest
input line condition. Let’s us adopt a 40% ripple level, or a
50 V drop from the corresponding Vinpeak. To evaluate the
equivalent load current (which discharges Cbulk between
As we previously stated, we want to deliver 70 W with a
16.5 V output level. The maximum rating for the NCP1200
states a level less than 16 V. As a result, the auxiliary Vcc
shall be less than 16V but also above VccON in any
conditions to ensure full DSS de-activation. A solution
consists in artificially raising the ratio between the power
winding and the auxiliary one to ensure adequate supply at
no-load. We successfully tested a 0.9 ratio, where the

To select the right rectifiers, it is necessary to know the

We selected a KBU4J diode bridge (600 V/4 A) for the

however be put in series to limit the surge current (when you
plug the SMPS in the AC outlet) to less than the diode
maximum peak current (Ifsm) or what the standard imposes
you.
Thanks to these numbers, we compute the apparent power
at low line: 1.9 A × 90 V = 170 VA which compared to our
87.5 Watts of active power (neglecting the input diode
bridge and Cbulk losses) gives a power factor of:

Transformer Calculation
Transformer calculation can be done in several manners:
a) you evaluate ALL the transformer parameters, electrical
but also physical ones, including wire type, bobbin stack-up
etc. b) you only evaluate the electrical data and leave the rest
of the process to a transformer manufacturer. We will adhere
to the latest option by providing you with a list of potential
transformer manufacturers you can use for prototyping and
manufacturing. However, as you will discover, designing a
transformer for SMPS is an iterative process: once you
freeze some numbers, it is likely that they finally appear
either over or under estimated. As a result, you re-start with
new values and see if they finally fit your needs. To help you
speed-up the transformer design, a design-aid spreadsheet
is available from the ON Semiconductor web site,
www.onsemi.com/pub/NCP1200. Let’s start the process
with the turn ratio calculation.
conduction power is evaluating using the following
formula:
Rather than manually calculating these numbers, we will see
later on how a Spice simulator can do the job for us.
Primary Inductance and Peak Current
For AC/DC adapters delivering this amount of power in
a small place, it is of common practice to make the power
supply enter CCM in the middle of the total AC range
(around 180 VAC in our case). When the input AC voltage
diminishes, the on-time increases and the primary /
secondary RMS current go up. This implies a greater
heatsink for the MOSFET but also larger aluminum cans for
the secondary filters. For this reason, a transition from
Discontinuous Conduction Mode (DCM) to CCM will be
envisaged here. Figure 5 depicts these different modes.
Different methods exist to find the point transition takes
place (also called the critical or borderline point). The idea
consists in finding the critical inductance Lc that will make
the supply enter CCM at 180 VAC. From Figure 5, we can
write:
Turn Ratio and Output Diode Selection
The primary/secondary turn ratio affects several
parameters:
• The drain plateau voltage during the OFF time: the
lowest plateau gives room for the leakage inductance
spike before reaching the MOSFET’s BVdss:

the turn ratio and the regulated output voltage by:

CCM
If you lower the plateau voltage, you will increase the
reverse voltage the secondary diode must sustain.
With these numbers in mind, you can tweak the turn ratio
according to the MOSFET BVdss and the diode maximum
reverse voltage. A Schottky diode represents a good choice,
especially with a power supply that can possibly enter
Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM). The lack of reverse
recovery loss and a low forward drop play in favor of this
component. However, because of the metal-silicon
junction, moderate breakdown voltages are available for a
moderate cost. The MBR20100 represents an interesting
choice since it welcomes two 100 V Schottky in a TO-220
package. Being in thermal contact, a parallel wiring is
possible. The 100 V VRRM lets us calculate the minimum
turn ratio we can go down to, keeping an acceptable safety

Ramp Compensation
With a supply entering CCM together with a duty-cycle
greater than 50%, we need to inject ramp compensation into
the controller to prevent subharmonic oscillations. An easy
way to generate a ramp, is to take the driving signal available
from pin5 and integrate it through a RC network. Figure 6
shows how to wire the components and Figure 7 shows the
signal obtain with a 18 kΩ / 1 nF RC time constant.
To calculate the necessary amount of ramp m, several
methods exist. We will stick to the standard one which
consists in injecting between 50 and 75% of the off-time
downslope. The calculation is as follow:
Primary off-slope:
(Vout2 2 Vout Vf Vf2) (eff N2 Vin2) (17)
[Pout [(N Vout N Vf Vin)2 FSW]] 2
The numerical application gives a 484 µH inductance with
a peak current of 2.36 A. The NCP1200 incorporates a
skip-cycle feature that forces the controller to slice the
switching pattern when the power supply drives light loads.
Depending on the system time constants, the recurrence of
the burst can enter the audible frequency range. Since the
default skip-cycle takes place at one third of maximum peak
current, it is better to avoid working at high peak current in
normal operation. Should noise still appear in skip mode,
pin1 lets you select a different lower skip level
(unfortunately to the detriment of the standby power)
generating less mechanical noise. As a result, we slightly
increased the primary inductance to 700 µH to further limit
the noise in standby operation.

From Figure 6 network, the maximum voltage is given by

power consumption but also in terms of noise immunity. The

The first term represents the maximum rectified DC voltage
and goes up to 375 V. The reflected voltage pushes further
up by 101 V. Summing up these levels gives a total
steady-state drain voltage of 476 V. The last term in equation
18 depicts the leakage inductance action which further
stresses the MOSFET at the opening. If we select a 600 V
device, it leaves more than 100 V for this leakage action. A
clamping network will stop its rise anyway. A 2SK2843
from Toshiba can be a good choice. This is a TO-220 600 V
10 A component which features a 1.2 Ω RDS(ON) @ Tj =

Component Constraints
In this section, we will see how Spice can help us to
precisely determine all the component constraints and thus
calculate the necessary amount of heatsink they need. The
simulation schematic we adopted is given on Figure 8 and
shows the NCP1200 wired as recommended in the data
sheet. Please note that the simulation fixture has been
simplified to allow faster simulation time. For instance, the
TL431 and its network usually hamper the simulation time
to find out the right operating point. A Zener diode and a
resistor help finding it in a much quicker way.

Important results appear in Figure 9. Please note that the
maximum RMS current occur at the lowest line where the
duty-cycle is pushed to the limit.
As you can see, the ramp compensation works fine and no
subharmonic oscillations can be noted. Once everything is
extracted, below are summarized the most important design
constraints:
Lower Rθheatsink- air resistances can of course be selected to
run the device cooler.
Diode
The MBR20100 welcomes two diodes that share nearly
equal current thanks to their equal forward drops. The total
forward drop dissipation will remain the same but the RMS
losses sensitive to the dynamic resistance will divide by two:
IRMS total = 6.8 A
IAVG total = Iout = 4.2 A
Rd @ 3.4 Arms = 27 mΩ
Vf @ 2.2 Aavg = 0.7 V
Pcond for one diode = 3.42 × 0.027 + 2.2 × 0.7 = 1.85 W
or 3.7 W for the whole TO-220 package. Simulations gives
a bit less to 3.4 W. Heat calculations (Tj < 100°C and 50°C
ambient) recommend a heatsink of 8°C/W for the
MBR20100. As stated before, lower Rθheatsink- air
resistances can of course be selected to run the device cooler.
MOSFET
Rdson @ 100°C = 1.2 ohms
RthetaJC = 2.8°C/W
Pcond = 1.2 * 1.12 = 1.5 W
The conduction losses are the strongest at low line. The total
simulated losses, including switching events are evaluated to
be around 2.6 W. Further breadboard measurements confirmed
this number. If we want to keep the junction temperature
around 100°C at an ambient of 50°C, then we shall add a
proper heatsink according to the following calculation:

The Adapter Schematic
The final schematic implements a current-mode Flyback
architecture, driving a 600 V MOSFET. The 2SK2545
features a 10 A capability but a 6.0 A/600 V can also be
mounted, such as the FQP6N60 from Fairchild but to the
expense of increased conduction losses. Figure 13 offers a
complete view of the electrical sketch. The board can
actually be used with either auxiliary or without auxiliary
winding. By removing the resistance R4, you reactivate the
DSS on a NCP120X controller featuring this ability. The
board can therefore accept the following controllers:
NCP1200, featuring DSS.
NCP1200A, featuring DSS.
NCP1203, auxiliary winding only.
NCP1216, featuring DSS and internal ramp compensation.
Improved EMI jittering with DSS.
NCP1217, auxiliary winding only, internal ramp
compensation.
On NCP1216 and 1217, the internal ramp compensation
avoids using the external circuitry made of R1-R7-D4 and
C10. If one of these two parts are plugged in the demoboard,
you must disable this network by simply disconnecting R1
and growing R6 up to 2.7 kΩ (for a 65 kHz operation).
The NCP120X takes place with two other bipolars that
implement a discrete SCR, activated in presence of an OVP,
e.g. an optocoupler failure. D5 senses the overvoltage
condition and can easily be adjusted to fit any other levels.
Thanks to R10, the OVP permanently latches-off the supply
and the user shall cycle VCC off and on again to restart the
supply. Shutdown is obtained by pulling the feedback pin
down through D6. The clamp resistor is split in two different
components to avoid an excessive heat burden on one single
device. Both main MOSFET and secondary diode are
mounted on an adequate heatsink to evacuate the heat.
To ease the designer task, or simply help evaluating the
board performance faster, we have experimented different
transformers, available through Appendix B manufacturers.
Please note that some include the auxiliary winding for DSS
deactivation whereas other only offer a dual winding
arrangement where the DSS no longer activates and offers
the best standby power. All details are given in appendix B.
The final demoboard will not accommodate with all these
transformers simply because multiple footprints was not
possible. They however have all been tested okay.
Measurements were taken with the Coilcraft transformer.
As a final note, the actual demoboard delivers
19 VDC/70 W versus the original design-based 16.5 V. As
a result, figure 1b circuit has been replaced by L3-R13 and
C12 to improve the short-circuit protection when using an
auxiliary winding. Output voltage can be adjusted by
changing the feedback network made of R12/R20/R21.

following formulae:

with:
Vclamp: the desired clamping level;
Ip: the maximum peak current (e.g. during overload);
Vout + Vf: the regulated output voltage level + the
secondary diode voltage drop;
Lleak: the primary leakage inductance;
N: the Ns:Np conversion ratio;
Fsw: the switching frequency;
Vripple: the clamping ripple, could be around 20 V.
With a measured leakage inductance of 12 µH and a final
clamping level of 150 V, Rclamp is found to be 4.7 kΩ/6 W
and Cclamp 100 nF. The RMS current flowing through
Cclamp is 220 mA. RC networks are economical clamping
devices and care must be taken to not exceed the MOSFET
BVdss in the most stringent conditions, e.g. a cold startup
sequence at high line. Worse case arises when Ip is
maximum and Vout reaches the target.
Stability Analysis
The stability analysis can be investigated using different
approaches. Spice has proven to be rather accurate for
feedback loop analysis with SMPS. We will use the
NCP1200 average model which is available to download
from our web site (www.onsemi.com/pub/ncp1200). Figure
10 shows the simulation template where the feedback
network on the TL431 has been simplified to a simple 100nF
capacitor.
Thanks to average modeling, the simulation time is kept
short and results are delivered in a snap-shot, as testified by
Figure 11. Figure 12 unveils the results obtained using a

Figure 15. Load Regulation at Two Different
Input Voltages
Efficiency
We have designed two boards, one using the auxiliary
winding for best standby performance, and another one with
the Dynamic Self-Supply (DSS) left normally working.
Because of the auxiliary winding, it has been necessary to
further clamp the drain voltage in order to improve the
primary overload detection. It is not necessary with the DSS
and therefore the RCD drain clamp network can be less
aggressive, thus slightly improving the efficiency. Board 2
also features a 6 A MOSFET compared to a 3 A MOSFET
on board 1.
Board 1, aux. winding: Vin = 110 VAC, η = 79%
Vin = 240 VAC, η = 83.5%
Board 2, DSS:
Vin = 110 VAC, η = 83.4%
Vin = 240 VAC, η = 84.8%
Board Final Results
Standby Power
Measured on an Infratek watt-meter operated in
Watt-hour accumulation mode for best accuracy (run length
= 30 minutes).
Vin = 120 VAC, Vout = 16.76 V, Iout = 0 → Pin = 78 mW
Vin = 240 VAC, Vout = 16.76 V, Iout = 0 → Pin = 84 mW
Line Regulation
The array in Figure 14 shows the performance when the
input voltage is moving between both range ends. As one
can see, current mode control with good open- loop gain
ensures a ∆Vout less than 1 mV for a 212 VDC input
variation (-106 dB DC audio susceptibility).
Load Regulation
By varying the load current between 11 W and 70 W, it is
possible to plot the load regulation of the board as shown in
Figure 15.
