Operational Description All of the parameter values used in these descriptions are typical values, unless they are specified as minimum or maximum. With regard to current direction, "+" indicates sink current (toward the IC) and "–" indicates source current (from the IC). Q(H) and Q(L) indicate a high-side power MOSFET and a low-side power MOSFET respectively. Ci, and CV indicate a current resonant capacitor and a voltage resonant capacitor respectively. 8.1 Resonant Circuit Operation Figure 8-1 shows a basic RLC series resonant circuit. R L C Figure 8-1 RLC series resonant circuit The impedance of the circuit, Ż, is as the following Equation. (1) The frequency in which Ż becomes minimum value is the resonant frequency, f0. The higher frequency area than f0 is the inductance area, and the lower frequency area than f0 is the capacitance area. From Equation (3), f0 is as follows; (4) Figure 8-3 shows the circuit of a current resonant power supply. The basic configuration of the current resonant power supply is a half-bridge converter. The switching device Q(H) and Q(L) are connected in series with VIN. The series resonant circuit and the voltage resonant capacitor CV are connected in parallel with Q(L). The series resonant circuit is comprised of a resonant inductor LR, a primary winding P of a transformer T1 and a current resonant capacitor Ci. In the resonant transformer T1, the coupling between primary winding and secondary winding is designed to be poor so that the leakage inductance increases. By using it as LR, the series resonant circuit can be down sized. The dotted mark in T1 shows the winding polarity, the secondary windings S1 and S2 are connected so that the polarities are set to the same position shown in Figure 8-3, and the winding numbers of each other are equal. From Equation (1), the impedance of current resonant power supply is calculated by Equation (5). From Equation (4), the resonant frequency, f0, is calculated by Equation (6). where, ω is angular frequency and ω = 2πf. (5) (2) (6) When the frequency, f, changes, the impedance of resonant circuit will change as shown in Figure 8-2 Inductance area Impedance Capacitance area where, R: the equivalent resistance of load LR: the inductance of the resonant inductor LP: the inductance of the primary winding P Ci: the capacitance of current resonant capacitor ID(H) R Q(H) f0 Frequency Series resonant circuit VDS(H) VGH LR T1 IS1 VIN ID(L) Figure 8-2 Impedance of resonant circuit Q(L) Cv P VOUT (+) S1 LP In Equation (2), Ż becomes minimum value (= R) at 2πfL = 1/2πfC, and then ω is calculated by Equation (3) .

Apr. 01, 2016 http://www.sanken-ele.co.jp/en/ © SANKEN ELECTRIC CO.,LTD. 2015 10 SSC3S921 In the current resonant power supply, Q(H) and Q(L) are alternatively turned on and off. The on time and off time of them are equal. There is a dead time between Q(H) on period and Q(L) on period. During the dead time, both Q(H) and Q(L) are in off status. The current resonant power supply is controlled by the frequency control. When the output voltage decreases, the IC makes the switching frequency low so that the output power is increased and the output voltage is kept constant. This control must operate in the inductance area (fSW > f0). Since the winding current is delayed from the winding voltage in the inductance area, the turn-on operation is ZCS (Zero Current Switching) and the turn-off operation is ZVS (Zero Voltage Switching). Thus, the switching loss of Q(H) and Q(L) is nearly zero, In the capacitance area (fSW < f0), the current resonant power supply operates as follows. When the output voltage decreases, the switching frequency is decreased, and then the output power is more decreased. Thus, the output voltage cannot be kept constant. Since the winding current goes ahead of the winding voltage in the capacitance area, the operation with hard switching occurs in Q(H) and Q(L). Thus, the power loss increases. This operation in the capacitance area is called the capacitive mode operation. The current resonant power supply must be operated without the capacitive mode operation (refer to Section 8.12 about details of it). Figure 8-4 shows the basic operation waveform of current resonant power supply (see Figure 8-3 about the symbol in Figure 8-4). The current resonant waveforms in normal operation are divided a period A to a period F. The current resonant power supply operates in the each period as follows. In following description, ID(H) is the current of Q(H), ID(L) is the current of Q(L), VF(H) is the forwerd voltage of Q(H), VF(L) is the forwerd voltage of Q(L), IL is the current of LR, VIN is an input voltage, VCi is Ci voltage, and VCV is CV voltage. 1) Period A When Q(H) is ON, energy is stored into the series resonant circuit by ID(H) flowing through the resonant circuit and the transformer as shown in Figure 8-5. At the same time, the energy is transferred to the secondary circuit. When the primary winding voltage can not keep the secondary rectifier ON, the energy to the secondary circuit is stopped. 2) Period B After the secondary side current becomes zero, the resonant current flows to the primary side only as shown in Figure 8-6 and Ci is charged by it.

When Q(H) turns off, IL is flowed by the energy stored in the series resonant circuit as shown in Figure 8-7, and CV is discharged. When VCV decreases to VF(L), −ID(L) flows through the body diode of Q(L) and VCV is clamped to VF(L). After that, Q(L) turns on. Since VDS(L) is nearly zero at the point, Q(L) operates in ZVS and ZCS. Thus, switching loss is nearly zero.

When Q(L) turns off, − IL is flowed by the energy stored in the series resonant circuit as shown in Figure 8-10. CV is discharged. When VCV decreases to VIN + VF(H), − ID(H) flows through body diode of Q(H) and VCV is clamped to VIN + VF(H). After that, Q(H) turns on. Since VDS(H) is nearly zero at the point, Q(H) operates in ZVS and ZCS. Thus, the switching loss is nearly zero.

When the following all conditions are fulfilled, the IC starts the startup operation: ● The mains input voltage is provided, and the VSEN pin voltage increases to the on-threshold voltage, VSEN(ON) = 1.300 V, or more. ● The startup current, ICC(ST), which is a constant current of 6.0 mA, is provided from the IC to capacitor C2 connected to the VCC pin, C2 is charged, and the VCC pin voltage increases to the operation start voltage, VCC(ON) = 17.0 V, or more. ● The FB pin voltage increases to the oscillation start threshold voltage, VFB(ON) = 0.30 V, or more. After that, the startup circuit stops automatically, in order to eliminate its own power consumption. During the IC operation, the rectified voltage from the auxiliary winding voltage, VD, of Figure 8-11 is a power source to the VCC pin. The winding turns of the winding D should be adjusted so that the VCC pin voltage is applied to equation (7) within the specification of the mains input voltage range and output load range of the power supply. The target voltage of the winding D is about 19 V. Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO) Figure 8-12 shows the relationship of VCC and ICC. After the IC starts operation, when the VCC pin voltage decreases to VCC(OFF) = 8.9 V, the IC stops switching operation by the Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO) Function and reverts to the state before startup again.

Since the startup time for C6 is much smaller than that for C2, the startup time is approximately given as below: VCC pin voltage IC startup VCC(ON) VCC(BIAS) VCC(OFF) Startup success Target operating voltage Increasing by output voltage rising Bias Assist period (8) Startup failure where: tSTART is the startup time in s, VCC(INT) is the initial voltage of the VCC pin in V, and ICC(ST) is the startup current, 6.0 mA 18 ST R2 C1 R3 U1 VCC VSEN CSS GND 5 10 R4 R5 C6 2 R1 D1 1 C4 VD C2 Figure 8-11 VCC pin peripheral circuit Time Figure 8-13 VCC pin voltage during startup period When the conditions of Section 8.2 are fulfilled, the IC starts operation. Thus, the circuit current, ICC, increases, and the VCC pin voltage begins dropping. At the same time, the auxiliary winding voltage, VD, increases in proportion to the output voltage rise. Thus, the VCC pin voltage is set by the balance between dropping due to the increase of ICC and rising due to the increase of the auxiliary winding voltage, VD. When the VCC pin voltage decreases to VCC(OFF) = 8.9 V, the IC stops switching operation and a startup failure occurs. In order to prevent this, when the VCC pin voltage decreases to the startup current threshold biasing voltage, SSC3S921 - DSJ Rev.1.5 SANKEN ELECTRIC CO.,LTD. Apr. 01, 2016 http://www.sanken-ele.co.jp/en/ © SANKEN ELECTRIC CO.,LTD. 2015 13 SSC3S921 VCC(BIAS) = 9.8 V, the Bias Assist Function is activated. While the Bias Assist Function is activated, any decrease of the VCC pin voltage is counteracted by providing the startup current, ICC(ST), from the startup circuit. It is necessary to check the startup process based on actual operation in the application, and adjust the VCC pin voltage, so that the startup failure does not occur. If VCC pin voltage decreases to VCC(BIAS) and the Bias Assist Function is activated, the power loss increases. Thus, VCC pin voltage in normal operation should be set more than VCC(BIAS) by the following adjustments. ● The turns ratio of the auxiliary winding to the secondary-side winding is increased. ● The value of C2 in Figure 8-11 is increased and/or the value of R1 is reduced. During all protection operation, the Bias Assist Function is disabled. 8.5 Soft Start Function Figure 8-14 waveforms. CSS pin voltage shows the Soft-start operation Frequency control by feedback signal OCP operation peropd operated with an oscillation frequency controlled by feedback. When the IC becomes any of the following conditions, C6 is discharged by the CSS Pin Reset Current, ICSS(R) = 1.8 mA. ● The VCC pin voltage decreases to the operation stop voltage, VCC(OFF) = 8.9 V, or less. ● The VSEN pin voltage decreases to the off-threshold voltage, VSEN(OFF) = 1.100 V, or less. ● Any of protection operations in protection mode (OVP, OLP or TSD) is activated. 8.6 Minimum and Maximum Switching Frequency Setting The minimum switching frequency is adjustable by the value of R5 (RCSS) connected to the CSS pin. The relationship of R5 (RCSS) and the externally adjusted minimum frequency, f(MIN)ADJ, is shown in Figure 8-15. The f(MIN)ADJ should be adjusted to more than the resonant frequency, fO, under the condition of the minimum mains input voltage and the maximum output power. The maximum switching frequency, fMAX, is determined by the inductance and the capacitance of the resonant circuit. The fMAX should be adjusted to less than the maximum frequency, f(MAX) = 300 kHz.

The bootstrap circuit is for driving to Q(H) and is made by D3, R12 and C12 between the REG pin and the VS pin. When Q(H) is OFF state and Q(L) is ON state, the VS pin voltage becomes about ground level and C12 is charged from the REG pin. When the voltage of between the VB pin and the VS pin, VB-S, increases to VBUV(ON) = 6.8 V or more, an internal high-side drive circuit starts operation. When VB-S decreases to VBUV(OFF) = 6.4 V or less, its drive circuit stops operation. In case the both ends of C12 and D4 are short, the IC is protected by VBUV(OFF).

The FB pin is sunk the feedback current by the photo-coupler, PC1, connected to FB pin. As a result, since the oscillation frequency is controlled by the FB pin, the output voltage is controlled to constant voltage (in inductance area). The feedback current increases under slight load condition, and thus the FB pin voltage decreases. While the FB pin voltage decreases to the oscillation stop threshold voltage, VFB(OFF) = 0.20 V, or less, the IC stops switching operation. This operation reduces switching loss, and prevents the increasing of the secondary output voltage. In Figure 8-17, R8 and C9 are for phase compensation adjustment, and C5 is for high frequency noise rejection. The secondary-side circuit should be designed so that the collector current of PC1 is more than 195 μA which is the absolute value of the maximum source current, IFB(MAX). Especially the current transfer ratio, CTR, of the photo coupler should be taken aging degradation into consideration. U1 Figure 8-16 Bootstrap circuit ● D3 D3 should be an ultrafast recovery diode of short recovery time and low reverse current.

FB 3 C5 GND 10 R8 C9 PC1 Figure 8-17 FB pin peripheral circuit ● C11, C12, and R12 The values of C11, C12, and R12 are determined by total gate charge, Qg, of external MOSFET and voltage dip amount between the VB pin and the VS pin in the burst mode of the standby mode change. C11, C12, and R12 should be adjusted so that the voltage between the VB pin and the VS is more than VBUV(ON) = 6.8 V by measuring the voltage with a high-voltage differential probe. The reference value of C11 is 0.47μF to 1 μF. The time constant of C12 and R12 should be less than 500 ns. The values of C12 and R22 are 0.047μF to 0.1 μF, and 2.2 Ω to 10 Ω. C11 and C12 should be a film type or ceramic capacitor of low ESR and low leakage current. SSC3S921 - DSJ Rev.1.5 SANKEN ELECTRIC CO.,LTD.

When the Standby Function is activated, the IC operates in the burst oscillation mode as shown in Figure 8-18.

Thus, the burst mode reduces switching losses. Generally, to improve efficiency under light load conditions, the frequency of the burst mode becomes just a few kilohertz. In addition, the IC has the Soft-on and the Soft-off Function in order to suppress rapid and sharp fluctuation of the drain current during the burst mode. thus, the audible noises can be reduced (refer to Section 8.9.2). The operation of the IC changes to the standby operation by the external signal (refer to Section 8.9.1). 8.9.1 Standby Mode Changed by External Signal Figure 8-19 shows the standby mode change circuit with external signal. Figure 8-20 shows the standby change operation waveforms. REG 12 C11 U1 FB SB 3 R8 9 R58 R16 Q1 R15 PC2 R17 C5 C10 Standby Q51 R59 C9 PC1 PC2 GND Figure 8-19 Standby mode change circuit When the standby terminal of Figure 8-19 is provided with the L signal, Q1 turns off, C10 connected to the SB pin is discharged by the sink current, ISB(SNK) = 10 µA, and the SB pin voltage decreases. When the SB pin voltage decrease to the SB Pin Oscillation Stop Threshold Voltage, VSB(OFF) = 0.5 V, the operation of the IC is changed to the standby mode. When SB pin voltage is VSB(OFF) = 0.5 V or less and FB pin voltage is Oscillation Stop Threshold Voltage VFB(OFF) = 0.20 V or less, the IC stops switching operation. When the standby terminal is provided with the H signal and the SB pin voltage increases to Standby Threshold Voltage VSB(STB) = 5.0 V or more, the IC returns to normal operation. 8.9.2 Burst Oscillation Operation In standby operation, the IC operates burst oscillation where the peak drain current is suppressed by Soft-On /Soft-off Function in order to reduce audible noise from transformer. During burst oscillation operation, the switching oscillation is controlled by SB pin voltage. Figure 8-21 shows the burst oscillation operation waveforms. When the SB pin voltage decreases to VSB(OFF) = 0.5 V or less and the FB pin voltage decreases to VFB(OFF) = 0.20 V or less, the IC stops switching operation and the output voltage decreases. Since the output voltage decreases, the FB pin voltage increases. When the FB pin voltage increases to the oscillation start threshold voltage, VFB(ON) = 0.30 V, C10 is charged by ISB(SRC) = − 10 µA, and the SB pin voltage gradually increases. When the SB pin voltage increases to the oscillation start threshold voltage, VSB(ON) = 0.6 V, the IC resumes switching operation, controlling the frequency control by the SB pin voltage. Thus, the output voltage increases (Soft-on). After that, when FB pin voltage decrease to oscillation stop threshold voltage, VFB(OFF) = 0.20 V, C10 is discharged by ISB(SNK) = 10 µA SSC3S921 - DSJ Rev.1.5 SANKEN ELECTRIC CO.,LTD. Apr. 01, 2016 http://www.sanken-ele.co.jp/en/ © SANKEN ELECTRIC CO.,LTD. 2015 16 SSC3S921 and SB pin voltage decreases. When the SB pin voltage decreases to VSB(OFF) again, the IC stops switching operation. Thus, the output voltage decreases (Soft-off). The SB pin discharge time in the Soft-on and Soft-off Function depends on C10. When the value of C10 increases, the Soft-On/Soft-off Function makes the peak drain current suppressed, and makes the burst period longer. Thus, the output ripple voltage may increase and/or the VCC pin voltage may decrease. If the VCC pin voltage decreases to VCC(BIAS) = 9.8 V, the Bias Assist Function is always activated, and it results in the increase of power loss (refer to Section 8.4). Thus, it is necessary to adjust the value of C10 while checking the input power, the output ripple voltage, and the VCC pin voltage. The reference value of C10 is about 0.001 μF to 0.1 μF.

When output power decreases and SB pin voltage reaches to V SB(OFF) = 0.5 V, the PFC ON/OFF Function activates and ADJ pin voltage increases to ADJ Pin Voltage in Standby Operation, VADJ(H) = VREG = 10.0 V. When output power increases and SB pin voltage reaches to VSB(STB) = 5.0 V, the ADJ pin voltage decreases to ADJ Pin Voltage in Normal Operation, VADJ(L) = 1 V. Using the signal, the power supply of PFC control IC can be turned on/off when the IC becomes standby operation. When the operation starting voltage of PFC IC, VCC(ON)_PFC, is less than VREG, the PFC circuit on/off system can be realized by low component count as shown in Figure 8-23. SSC2016S that is Sanken PFC control IC is recommended. The dead time is the period when both the high-side and the low-side power MOSFETs are off. As shown in Figure 8-24, if the dead time is shorter than the voltage resonant period, the power MOSFET is turned on and off during the voltage resonant operation. In this case, the power MOSFET turned on and off in hard switching operation, and the switching loss increases. The Automatic Dead Time Adjustment Function is the function that the ZVS (Zero Voltage Switching) operation of Q(H) and Q(L) is controlled automatically by the voltage resonant period detection of IC. The voltage resonant period is varied by the power supply specifications (input voltage and output power, etc.). However, the power supply with this function is unnecessary to adjust the dead time for each power supply specification. As shown in Figure 8-25, the VS pin detects the dv/dt period of rising and falling of the voltage between drain and source of the low-side power MOSFET, VDS(L), and the IC sets its dead time to that period. This function controls so that the high-side and the low-side power MOSFETs are automatically switched to Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS) operation. This function operates in the period from td(MIN) = 0.24 µs to td(MAX) = 1.65 µs. In minimum output power at maximum input voltage and maximum output power at minimum input voltage, the ZCS (Zero Current Switching) operation of IC (the drain current flows through the body diode is about 600 ns as shown in Figure 8-26), should be checked based on SSC3S921 - DSJ Rev.1.5 SANKEN ELECTRIC CO.,LTD.

This function detects the mains input voltage, and stops switching operation during low mains input voltage, to prevent exceeding input current and overheating. R2 to R4 set the detection voltage of this function. When the VCC pin voltage is higher than VCC(ON), this function operates depending on the VSEN pin voltage as follows: Because R2 and R3 are applied high DC voltage and are high resistance, the following should be considered: ● Select a resistor designed against electromigration according to the requirement of the application, or ● Use a combination of resistors in series for that to reduce each applied voltage The reference value of R2 is about 10 MΩ. C4 shown in Figure 8-27 is for reducing ripple voltage of detection voltage and making delay time. The value is 0.1 µF or more, and the reference value is about 0.47 µF. The value of R2, R3 and R4 and C4 should be selected based on actual operation in the application. ● When the VSEN pin voltage is more than V SEN (ON) = 1.300 V, the IC starts. ● When the VSEN pin voltage is less than VSEN (OFF) = 1.100 V, the IC stops switching operation.

Apr. 01, 2016 http://www.sanken-ele.co.jp/en/ © SANKEN ELECTRIC CO.,LTD. 2015 18 SSC3S921 The resonant power supply is operated in the inductance area shown in Figure 8-28. In the capacitance area, the power supply becomes the capacitive mode operation (refer to Section 8.1). In order to prevent the operation, the minimum oscillation frequency is needed to be set higher than f0 on each power supply specification. However, the IC has the capacitive mode operation Detection Function kept the frequency higher than f0. Thus, the minimum oscillation frequency setting is unnecessary and the power supply design is easier. In addition, the ability of transformer is improved because the operating frequency can operate close to the resonant frequency, f0. The resonant current is detected by the RC pin, and the IC prevents the capacitive mode operation. When the capacitive mode is detected, the C7 connected to CL pin is charged by ICL(SRC) = − 17 μA. When the CL pin voltage increases to VCL(OLP), the OLP is activated and the switching operation stops. During the OLP operation, the intermittent operation by UVLO is repeated (refer to Section 8.18). The detection voltage is changed to VRC1 = ±0.10 V or VRC2 = ±0.50 V depending on the load as shown in Figure 8-30 and Figure 8-31. The Capacitive Mode Operation Detection Function operations as follows: ● Period in which the Q(H) is ON Figure 8-29 shows the RC pin waveform in the inductance area, and Figure 8-30 and Figure 8-31 shows the RC pin waveform in the capacitance area. In the inductance area, the RC pin voltage doesn’t cross the plus side detection voltage in the downward direction during the on period of Q(H) as shown in Figure 8-29. On the contrary, in the capacitance area, the RC pin voltage crosses the plus side detection voltage in the downward direction. At this point, the capacitive mode operation is detected. Thus, Q(H) is turned off, and Q(L) is turned on, as shown in Figure 8-30 and Figure 8-31. ● Period in which the Q(L) is on Contrary to the above of Q(H), in the capacitance area, the RC pin voltage crosses the minus side detection voltage in the upward directiont during the on period of Q(L) At this point, the capacitive mode operation is detected. Thus, Q(L) is turned off and Q(H) is turned on. As above, since the capacitive mode operation is detected by pulse-by-pulse and the operating frequency is synchronized with the frequency of the capacitive mode operation, and the capacitive mode operation is prevented. In addition to the adjusting method of ROCP, C3, and R6 in Section 1.1, ROCP, C3, and R6 should be adjusted so that the absolute value of the RC pin voltage increases to more than |VRC2| = 0.50 V under the condition caused the capacitive mode operation easily, such as startup, turning off the mains input voltage, or output shorted.

R2 is connected to the AC input lines through D7 and D8. Just after turning off the mains input voltage, the VSEN pin voltage decreases to VSEN(OFF) = 1.100 V according to a short time of the time constant with R2 to R4 and C4, and C1 is discharged by the equivalent to ICC(ST) = 6.0 mA.

During the startup period when the feedback control for the output voltage is inactive, if the magnetizing current cannot be reset in the on-period because of unbalanced operation, negative current may flows just before a power MOSFET turns off, and hard switching may occur, and stresses of power MOSFET may increase. To prevent this hard switching, the IC incorporates the Reset Detection Function. Figure 8-34 shows the high-side operation and drain current waveform examples in normal resonant operation and reset failure operation. The Reset Detection Function extends the on-period until the absolute value of RC pin voltage, |VRC1|, increases to 0.10 V or more. Thus, this function prevents the hard switching operation. When the on-period reaches the maximum reset time, tRST(MAX) = 5 μs, the on-period expires at that moment, and the power MOSFET turns off (refer to Figure 8-33).

After stopping, the VCC pin voltage decreases to VCC(OFF) = 8.9 V, the Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO) Function is activated, and the IC reverts to the state before startup again. After that, the startup circuit is activated, the VCC pin voltage increases to VCC(ON) = 17.0 V, and the IC restarts. During the protection mode, restart and stop are repeated. When the fault condition is removed, the IC returns to normal operation automatically. When the auxiliary winding supplies the VCC pin voltage, the OVP is able to detect an excessive output voltage, such as when the detection circuit for output control is open in the secondary-side circuit because the VCC pin voltage is proportional to the output voltage. The output voltage of the secondary-side circuit at OVP operation, VOUT(OVP), is approximately given as below: and C6 should be adjusted based on actual operation in the application. The following is a reference adjusting method of ROCP, C3, R6, and C8: ● C3 and ROCP C3 is 100pF to 330pF (around 1 % of Ci value). ROCP is around 100 Ω. Given the current of the high side power MOSFET at ON state as ID(H). ROCP is calculated Equation (14). The detection voltage of ROCP is used the detection of the capacitive mode operation (refer to Section 8.12). Therefore, setting of ROCP and C3 should be taken account of both OCP and the capacitive mode operation. (14) ● R6 and C8 are for high frequency noise reduction. R6 is 100 Ω to 470 Ω. C6 is 100 pF to 1000 pF. Q(H) VGH (13) VS U1 where, VOUT(NORMAL) : Output voltage in normal operation VCC(NORMAL): VCC pin voltage in normal operation 8.16 REG Overvoltage Protection (REG_OVP) The IC has REG Overvoltage Protection (REG_OVP) for the overvoltage of the REG pin. When the REG pin voltage increases to REG Pin OVP Threshold Voltage, VREG(OVP) = 12.4 V, the REG_OVP is activated and the IC stops switching operation at latched state. Releasing the latched state is done by dropping the VCC pin voltage below REG Pin Overvoltage Protection Release Threshold Voltage, VCC(L.OFF) = 5.0 V. 8.17 Overcurrent Protection (OCP) The Overcurrent Protection (OCP) detects the drain current, ID, on pulse-by-pulse basis, and limits output power. In Figure 8-35, this circuit enables the value of C3 for shunt capacitor to be smaller than the value of Ci for current resonant capacitor, and the detection current through C3 is small. Thus, the loss of the detection resistor, ROCP, is reduced, and ROCP is a small-sized one available. There is no convenient method to calculate the accurate resonant current value according to the mains input and output conditions, and others.

When the absolute value of the RC pin voltage increases to more than |VOC(L) | = 1.50 V, C6 connected to the CSS pin is discharged by ICSS(L) = 1.8 mA. Thus, the switching frequency increases, and the output power is limited. During discharging C6, when the absolute value of the RC pin voltage decreases to |VRC(L)| or less, the discharge stops. Step II, RC pin threshold voltage (High-speed), VRC(S): This step is active second. When the absolute value of the RC pin voltage increases to more than |VRC(S) | = 2.30 V, the high-speed OCP is activated, and power MOSFETs reverse on and off. At the same time, C6 is discharged by ICSS(S) = 20.5 mA. Thus, the switching SSC3S921 - DSJ Rev.1.5 SANKEN ELECTRIC CO.,LTD.

This step operates as protections for exceeding overcurrent, such as the output shorted. When the absolute value of the RC pin voltage decreases to |VRC(S)| or less, the operation is changed to the above Step I. 8.18 Overload Protection (OLP) Figure 8-36 shows the Overload Protection (OLP) waveforms. When the absolute value of RC pin voltage increases to |VRC(L)| = 1.50 V by increasing of output power, the Overcurrent Protection (OCP) is activated. After that, the C7 connected to CL pin is charged by ICL(SRC) = − 17 μA. When the OCP state continues and CL pin voltage increases to VCL(OLP), the OLP is activated. When CL pin voltage becomes the threshold voltage of OLP, VCL(OLP) = 4.2 V, the OLP is activated and the switching operation stops. During the OLP operation, the intermittent operation by UVLO is repeated (refer to Section 8.15). When the fault condition is removed, the IC returns to normal operation automatically. RC pin voltage VRC(L) voltage is proportional to the output current. On actual operation of the application, C7 connected to the CL pin should be adjusted so that ripple voltage of the CL pin reduces. R7 connected to the PL pin should be adjusted so that the OLP at the minimum mains input voltage is activated before the OCP limited by the low threshold voltage of OCP, VRC(L). The PL pin voltage and the CL pin voltage must be within the absolute maximum ratings of −0.3 to 6 V, by adjusting R7, in the OCP operation point at the minimum mains input voltage. When the proportional voltage to the output current is unused, the PL pin should be pulled down by the resistance of about 47 kΩ connected between PL pin and GND pin.

The current separated from the primary-side winding current by C3 flows to the PL pin. As shown in Figure 8-38, the primary-side winding current flows to the C7 connected to CL pin during the high side power MOSFET turning on. The magnetizing current becomes zero by charging and discharging. Only the load current is charged to C7. As a result, the CL pin 8.19 Thermal Shutdown (TSD) When the junction temperature of the IC reach to the Thermal Shutdown Temperature T j(TSD) = 140 °C (min.), Thermal Shutdown (TSD) is activated and the IC stops switching operation. When the VCC pin voltage is decreased to VCC(P.OFF) = 8.9 V or less and the junction temperature of the IC is decreased to less than Tj(TSD), the IC restarts. During the protection mode, restart and stop are repeated. When the fault condition is removed, the IC returns to normal operation automatically. SSC3S921 - DSJ Rev.1.5 SANKEN ELECTRIC CO.,LTD.

External Components RB Take care to use the proper rating and proper type of components. DS Drain Gate RA 9.1.1 Input and Output Electrolytic Capacitors RGS Apply proper derating to ripple current, voltage, and temperature rise. The electrolytic capacitor of high ripple current and low impedance types, designed for switch mode power supplies, is recommended to use. 9.1.2 Source Figure 9-1 Power MOSFET peripheral circuit High-side Gate Resonant Transformer Vth(min.) The resonant power supply uses the leakage inductance of transformer. Therefore, in order to reduce the effect of the eddy current and the skin effect, the wire of transformer should be used a bundle of fine litz wires. Low-side Gate Dead time Dead time Vth(min.) 9.1.3 Current Detection Resistor, ROCP Choose a type of low internal inductance because a high frequency switching current flows to ROCP, and of properly allowable dissipation. 9.1.4 Current Resonant Capacitor, Ci Large resonant current flows through Ci. Ci should use the polypropylene film capacitor with low loss and high current capability. In addition, Ci must be considered its frequency characteristic since high frequency current flows. 9.1.5 Figure 9-2 Dead time confirmation 9.2 PCB Trace Layout and Component Placement Since the PCB circuit design and the component layout significantly affect the power supply operation, EMI noise, and power dissipation, the high frequency trace of PCB shown in Figure 9-3 should be designed low impedance by small loop and wide trace. Gate Pin Peripheral Circuit The VGH pin and the VGL pin are gate drive output pins for external power MOSFETs. The peak source current of both of them is – 540 mA, and the peak sink current is 1.50 A. DS of Figure 9-1 makes a turn-off speed faster. RA, RB and Ds should be adjusted considering power losses of power MOSFETs, gate waveforms (reduction of ringing caused by pattern layout and others), and EMI noise. RA is about 33 Ω to 330 Ω. RB is about 10 Ω. RGS prevents malfunctions caused by steep dv/dt at turning off power MOSFET. RGS is recommended to be a resistor of 10 k to 100 kΩ close to the Gate and the Source of power MOSFET. Figure 9-3 High frequency current loops (hatched areas) In addition, the PCB circuit design should be taken account as follows: Figure 9-4 shows the circuit design example.

The control ground trace should be separate from the main circuit trace, and should be connected at a single point grounding as close to the GND pin as possible. 6) Secondary side Rectifier Smoothing Circuit Trace Layout This is the trace of the rectifier smoothing loop, carrying the switching current, and thus it should be as wide trace and small loop as possible. 3) VCC Trace Layout This is the trace for supplying power to the IC, and thus it should be as small loop as possible. If C3 and the IC are distant from each other, placing a film capacitor Cf (about 0.1 μF to 1.0 μF) close to the VCC pin and the GND pin is recommended.
