Primary Side Regulation
Off-Line PWM Controllers with Integrated Power MOSFET
STR5A100D Series
General Descriptions
Package
The STR5A100D series is power IC with primary side
regulation for switching power supplies, incorporating a
sense MOSFET and a current mode PWM controller IC.
Employing the Primary Side Regulation, the product
achieves power supply systems with few external
components. Including a startup circuit and a standby
function in the controller, the product achieves the low
standby power by the automatic switching between the
PWM operation in normal operation and the
burst-oscillation under light load conditions. The rich set
of protection features helps to realize low component
counts, and high performance-to-cost power supply.

10. Operational Description
10.2 Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
 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).
Figure 10-2 shows the relationship of VCC pin
voltage and circuit current ICC. When VCC pin voltage
increases to VCC(ON) = 15.0 V, the control circuit starts
switching operation and the circuit current ICC increases.
When VCC pin voltage decreases to VCC(OFF) = 8.1 V,
the control circuit stops operation by UVLO
(Undervoltage Lockout) circuit, and reverts to the state
before startup.
10.1 Startup Operation
Figure 10-1 shows the VCC pin peripheral circuit.
The IC incorporates the startup circuit. The circuit is
connected to D/ST pin. When D/ST pin voltage reaches
to Startup Circuit Operation Voltage VSTARTUP = 29 V,
the startup circuit starts operation.
During the startup process, the constant current,
ISTARTUP = − 2.1 mA, charges C4 at VCC pin. When
VCC pin voltage increases to VCC(ON) = 15.0 V, the
control circuit starts switching operation. After
switching operation begins, the startup circuit turns off
automatically so that its current consumption becomes
zero.
The approximate startup time of IC, tSTART, is
calculated as follows:

Figure 10-3 shows VCC voltage behavior during the
startup period. When VCC pin voltage increases to
VCC(ON) = 15.0 V at startup, the IC starts the operation.
Then circuit current increases and VCC pin voltage
decreases. Since the Operation Stop Voltage
VCC(OFF) = 8.1 V is low, the auxiliary winding voltage
reaches to setting value before VCC pin voltage
decreases to VCC(OFF). Thus control circuit continues the
operation. The voltage from the auxiliary winding D in
Figure 10-1 becomes a power source to the control
circuit in operation. The approximate value of auxiliary
winding voltage is about 12 V to 16 V, taking account of
the winding turns of D winding so that VCC pin voltage
satisfies Equation (2) within the specification of input
and output voltage variation of power supply.

In addition, the auxiliary winding voltage VD is
determined as follows:

where,
ND: Turns of auxiliary winding of transformer
NS: Turns of secondary side winding of transformer
VOUT: Output voltage
VF: Forward drop voltage of secondary side rectifier
diode D50
When VCC pin voltage reaches to VCC(OFF) and a
startup failure occurs as shown in Figure 10-3, increase
the C4 value. Since the larger capacitance causes the
longer startup time of IC, it is necessary to check and
adjust the startup process based on actual operation in
the application.
10.4 Soft Start Function
Figure 10-4 shows the behavior of VCC pin voltage
and drain current during the startup period.
The IC activates the soft start circuitry during the
startup period. Soft start time is fixed to around 4.5 ms.
During the soft start period, over current threshold is
increased step-wisely (7 steps). This function reduces
the voltage and the current stress of MOSFET and
secondary side rectifier diode.

Soft start period

IDLIM(H)
tLIM < tCCD
Time
Since the Leading Edge Blanking Function (refer to
Section 10.8) is deactivated during the soft start period,
there is the case that ON time is less than the leading
edge blanking time, tBW = 250 ns.
After the soft start period, D/ST pin current, ID, is
limited by the Drain Current Limit, IDLIM(H), until the
output voltage increases to the target operating voltage.
This period is given as tLIM.
In case tLIM is longer than the CC Operation Delay
Time, tCCD , the output power is limited by the CC mode.
Thus, it is necessary to adjust the value of output
capacitor and the turn ratio of auxiliary winding D so
that the tLIM is less than tCCD = 90 ms.
10.5 Primary Side Regulation (PSR)
The IC is for Primary Side Regulation (PSR). In PSR,
the auxiliary winding voltage is divided by resistors (R3,
R4 and R5) and is induced into FB pin as shown in
Figure 10-5. The constant voltage output control is
achieved by using FB pin voltage.
Figure 10-6 shows the detection timing of auxiliary
winding voltage VD. When the power MOSFET turns
off, the energy stored in transformer is provided to
secondary side of the circuit. Then the current IDO flows
through the secondary side rectifier diode. After the
transfer of energy, power MOSFET continues off state
and the free oscillation of VD starts. During the free
oscillation period, IDO becomes zero.
The feedback signal is generated by sampling the
shoulder of VD waveform (point A in Figure 10-6). Thus
the effect of VF is minimized.
The Minimum Sampling Time, tFBMS, is 2.2 μs (max.).
Since the sampling time becomes the shortest in burst
oscillation mode (refer to Section 10.10) , the sampling
time should be more than tFBMS (shown in Figure 10-6).
The ideal waveform of auxiliary winding voltage V D
is shown in Figure 10-6. The VD waveform depends on
the waveform of the primary winding P voltage. In order
to reduce the transient surge of VD waveform, a clamp
snubber circuit of a capacitor-resistor-diode (CRD)
combination should be added on the primary winding P
as shown in Figure 10-5.
In order to improve the accuracy of VD waveform
sampling, the IC has sampling delay time, tFBD, so that
the surge component of the waveform at the turning off
of power MOSFET is not sampled.
In case that the width of the surge component is longer
than tFBD = 0.9 μs, the width should be adjusted to be
under tFBD. It is achieved by adjusting the value of R1
and C3 and by reducing the peak and width of the surge
component.
In addition, in order to realize the ideal VD waveform
shown in Figure 10-6, add the resistor R2 in series with
the diode of CRD circuit to suppress the ringing of the
waveform.

output voltage when the output load becomes light.
Accordingly, the output voltage of internal error
amplifier (target voltage VSC) decreases. As a result,
the peak value of VROCP is controlled to be lower so
that the peak of the drain current decreases. This
control prevents the output voltage from increasing.
 Heavy Load Conditions
The control circuit performs reverse operations to the
former. The target voltage VSC of internal comparator
becomes higher and the peak drain current increases.
This control prevents the output voltage from
decreasing.

10.6 Constant Voltage (CV) Control
10.7 Constant Current (CC) Control
The IC achieves the constant voltage (CV) control of
the power supply output by using the peak-current-mode
control method, which enhances the response speed and
provides the stable operation.
The IC controls the peak value of the voltage of build-in
sense resistor (VROCP) to be close to target voltage (VSC),
comparing VROCP with VSC by internal FB comparator.
Feedback Control circuit receives the sampling voltage
which is the reversed auxiliary winding voltage by using
error amplifier (refer to Figure 10-7 and Figure 10-8)
The IC operates in Constant Current (CC) Control
when output current reaches to constant load and the
state continues for more than the Constant Current
Control Delay Time, tCCD = 90 ms. In case the IC is in
discontinuous operation, the CV/CC characteristic is as
shown in Figure 10-9.
When output current reaches to constant load,
MOSFET drain current is limited to the Drain Current
Limit IDLIM(H). When the output voltage becomes low,
the CC Control is maintained by lowering the oscillation
frequency fOSC. When the output voltage becomes low,
the FB pin voltage becomes low. When FB pin voltage

Since the oscillator of burst oscillation cycle setting

10.8 Leading Edge Blanking Function
The IC uses the peak-current-mode control method
for the constant voltage control of output.
In peak-current-mode control method, there is a case
that the power MOSFET turns off due to unexpected
response of FB comparator or overcurrent protection
circuit (OCP) to the steep surge current in turning on a
power MOSFET.
In order to prevent this operation, Leading Edge
Blanking Time, tBW = 250 ns is built-in.
In the period of tBW, the IC does not respond to the
surge voltage in turning on the power MOSFET.
10.9 Random Switching Function
The IC modulates its switching frequency randomly
by superposing the modulating frequency on fOSC(AVG) in
normal operation. This function reduces the conduction
noise compared to others without this function, and
simplifies noise filtering of the input lines of power
supply.
10.10 Auto Standby Function
Auto Standby Function automatically changes the
oscillation mode to green mode or burst oscillation mode,
when the output load becomes lower, the drain current
ID decreases and the oscillation frequency becomes
lower gradually (Green Mode) as shown in Figure
10-10.
In order to reduce the switching loss, the number of
switching is reduced in green mode and the switching
operation is stopped during a constant period in burst
oscillation mode.
The burst oscillation mode operates by the Standby
Operation Cycle, TSTBOP = 1.3 ms and the switching

10.11 Overcurrent Protection Function (OCP)
Overcurrent Protection Function (OCP) detects each
drain peak current level of a power MOSFET on
pulse-by-pulse basis, and limits the output power when
the current level reaches to Drain Current Limit.
When this OCP operation continues for more than the
Constant Current Control Delay Time, tCCD = 90 ms,
Constant Current (CC) control is activated (refer to
Section 10.7).
Input Compensation Function
ICs with PWM control usually have some propagation
delay time. The steeper the slope of the actual drain
current at a high AC input voltage is, the larger the
actual drain peak current is, compared to the Drain
Current Limit. Thus, the peak current has some variation
depending on the AC input voltage in the drain current
limitation state.
In order to reduce the variation of peak current in the
drain current limitation state, the IC incorporates a
built-in Input Compensation function.
The Input Compensation function superposes a signal
with a constant slope (Figure 10-12) into the internal
current detection signal and varies the internal threshold
voltage.
When AC input voltage is low (ON Duty is broad),

the Drain Current Limit after compensation increases.
The difference of peak drain current become small
compared with the case where the AC input voltage is
high (ON Duty is narrow).
The compensation signal depends on ON Duty. The
relation between the ON Duty and the drain current limit
after compensation IDLIM' is expressed as Equation (4).
When ON Duty is broader than 27 %, the drain current
limit becomes a constant value IDLIM(H).

DDPC
In case the VCC pin voltage is provided by using
auxiliary winding of transformer, the overvoltage
conditions such as FB pin open can be detected because
the VCC pin voltage is proportional to FB pin voltage.
The approximate value of output voltage VOUT(OVP) in
OVP condition is calculated by using Equation (5).
Figure 10-12 Relationship between ON Duty and Drain
Current Limit after compensation
Figure 10-13 shows the TSD operational waveforms.
When the temperature of control circuit increases to
Tj(TSD) = 135 °C or more, Thermal Shutdown function
(TSD) is activated, and the IC stops switching operation.
After that, VCC pin voltage decreases. When the VCC
pin voltage decreases to about 9.4 V, the bias assist
function is activated and VCC pin voltage is kept to over
the VCC(OFF).
When the temperature reduces to less than
Tj(TSD)−Tj(TSD)HYS, the Bias Assist function is disabled
and the VCC pin voltage decreases to VCC(OFF). At that
time, the IC stops operation by the UVLO circuit and
reverts to the state before startup. After that, the startup
circuit is activated, the VCC pin voltage increases to
VCC(ON), and the IC starts switching operation again. In
this way, the intermittent operation by TSD and UVLO
is repeated while there is an excess thermal condition.
When the fault condition is removed, the IC returns to
normal operation automatically.

10.12 Overvoltage Protection (OVP)
When a voltage between VCC pin and S/GND
terminal increases to VCC(OVP) = 29.3 V or more, OVP
Function is activated and stops switching operation.
When OVP Function is activated, VCC pin voltage
decreases to Operation Stop Voltage VCC(OFF) = 8.1 V.
After that, the IC reverts to the initial state by UVLO
(Undervoltage Lockout) circuit, and the IC starts
operation when VCC pin voltage increases to
VCC(ON) = 15.0 V by Startup Current. Thus the
intermittent operation by UVLO is repeated in OVP
condition.
This intermittent operation reduces the stress of parts
such as power MOSFET and secondary side rectifier
diode. In addition, this operation reduces power
consumption because the switching period in this
intermittent operation is short compared with oscillation
stop period. When the abnormal condition is removed,
the IC returns to normal operation automatically.

R3, R4 and R5 should be adjusted in actual operation

The IC generates the feedback signal by sampled VD
waveform that is FB pin input signal. In order to
improve the accuracy of VD waveform sampling, it is
necessary to realize the ideal VD waveform for
reducing the peak and width of the surge component
and suppressing the ringing. Because the VD
waveform depends on the waveform of the primary
winding P voltage, a clamp snubber circuit should be
added on the primary winding P. The method of
setting the value of the clamp snubber circuit is shown
in Section 10.5.
In order to maintain the sampling accuracy during
light load operation, an auxiliary switch diode
SARS05 should be used as D1 where the approximate
value of R2 is 220 Ω to 470 Ω. R2 should be adjusted
to obtain proper VD waveform in actual operation
condition.

 VCC Pin Peripheral Circuit
The reference value of C4 (see Figure 11-1) is
generally from 4.7 µF to 2.2 μF. The startup time is
determined by the value of C4 (refer to Section
10.1 Startup Operation).
In actual power supply circuits, there are cases in
which the VCC pin voltage fluctuates in proportion
to the output current, IOUT (see Figure 11-3), and
the Overvoltage Protection function (OVP) on the
VCC pin may be activated. This happens because
C4 is charged to a peak voltage on the auxiliary
winding D, which is caused by the transient surge
voltage coupled from the primary winding when
the power MOSFET turns off.
For alleviating C4 peak charging, it is effective to
add some value R6, of several tenths of ohms to
several ohms, in series with D2 (see Figure 11-1).
The optimal value of R6 should be determined
using a transformer matching what will be used in
the actual application, because the variation of the
auxiliary winding voltage is affected by the
transformer structural design.
Without R6
VCC pin voltage
With R6
Output current IOUT
value of both C6 and R7 are 680 pF to 2200 pF and
680 kΩ, respectively. These should be adjusted on
actual operation.
Because the internal impedance of COMP pin is
high, the measurement of COMP pin waveform by
using the oscilloscope needs a caution.
Especially in light load condition, the probe of the
oscilloscope may affect the control of IC. Thus the
voltage-follower (buffer) circuit with high
impedance Op Amp should be used for the
measurement of COMP pin.
 D/ST Pin
The internal power MOSFET connected to D/ST
pin (see Figure 11-1) is permanently damaged
when the D/ST pin voltage and the current exceed
the Absolute Maximum Ratings. Therefore, as
shown in Figure 11-5, The D/ST pin voltage is
tuned to be less than about 90 % of the Absolute
Maximum Ratings (657 V) in all condition of
actual operation, and the value of transformer and
components should be selected based on actual
operation in the application.
And the D/ST pin voltage in normal operation is
tuned to be the Recommended Operating
Conditions, VD/ST(OP) < 584 V.
The fast recovery diodes are recommended for
using as D2 and D51. The way of setting the value
of the clamp snubber circuit is shown in Section
10.5.

 Bleeder Resistance
Since the IC employs the primary side regulation,
the IC continues burst oscillation operation at light
load in order to detect the state of secondary side.
In case the power supply is used under light load
condition (input power is 25 mW or less at
maximum input voltage) or no load condition, in
order to prevent the increase of output voltage, the
bleeder resistance, R52, is connected to both ends
of the output capacitor, C52, as shown in Figure
11-1.
The value of R52 should be selected based on
actual operation in the application after the R52
SANKEN ELECTRIC CO.,LTD.

STR5A100D Series
which loss of R52 becomes about 10 mW is
connected.
This structure reduces the surge of D, and
improves the line-regulation of outputs.
 Transformer
Apply proper design margin to core temperature rise
by core loss and copper loss.
Because the switching currents contain high
frequency currents, the skin effect may become a
consideration.
Choose a suitable wire gauge in consideration of the
RMS current and a current density of 4 to 6 A/mm2.
If measures to further reduce temperature are still
necessary, the following should be considered to
increase the total surface area of the wiring:
▫ Increase the number of wires in parallel.
▫ Use litz wires.
▫ Thicken the wire gauge.
In the following cases, the surge of VCC pin
voltage becomes high.
▫ The surge voltage of primary main winding, P, is
high (low output voltage and high output current
power supply designs)
▫ The winding structure of auxiliary winding, D, is
susceptible to the noise of winding P.
When the surge voltage of winding D is high, the
VCC pin voltage increases and the Overvoltage
Protection function (OVP) may be activated. In
transformer design, the following should be
considered;
▫ The coupling of the winding P and the secondary
output winding S should be maximized to reduce the
leakage inductance.
▫ The coupling of the winding D and the winding S
should be maximized.
▫ The coupling of the winding D and the winding P
should be minimized.
In the case of multi-output power supply, the
coupling of the secondary-side stabilized output
winding, S1, and the others (S2, S3…) should be
maximized to improve the line-regulation of those
outputs.
Figure 11-6 shows the winding structural examples
of two outputs.
Winding structural example (a):
S1 is sandwiched between P1 and P2 to
maximize the coupling of them for surge
reduction of P1 and P2.
D is placed far from P1 and P2 to minimize the
coupling to the primary for the surge reduction of
D.
Winding structural example (b)
P1 and P2 are placed close to S1 to maximize the
coupling of S1 for surge reduction of P1 and P2.
D and S2 are sandwiched by S1 to maximize the
coupling of D and S1, and that of S1 and S2.

11.2 PCB Trace Layout and Component
Placement
Since the PCB circuit trace design and the component
layout significantly affects operation, EMI noise, and
power dissipation, the high frequency PCB trace should
be low impedance with small loop and wide trace.
In addition, the ground traces affect radiated EMI noise,
and wide, short traces should be taken into account.
Figure 11-7 shows the circuit design example.
(1) Main Circuit Trace Layout:
This is the main trace containing switching currents,
and thus it should be as wide trace and small loop as
possible.
If C2 and the IC are distant from each other, placing
a capacitor such as film capacitor (about 0.1 μF and
with proper voltage rating) close to the transformer
or the IC is recommended to reduce impedance of
the high frequency current loop.
(2) Control Ground Trace Layout
Since the operation of IC may be affected from the
large current of the main trace that flows in control
ground trace, the control ground trace should be
connected at a single point grounding of point A as
close to the S/GND pin 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 C4 and
the IC are distant from each other, placing a
capacitor such as film capacitor Cf (about 0.1 μF to
1.0 μF) close to the VCC pin and the S/GND pin is
recommended.
SANKEN ELECTRIC CO.,LTD.
15
STR5A100D Series
(4) COMP Trace Layout
C5, C6 and R7 are connected to COMP pin for phase
compensation. These capacitors and resistor should
be placed to shorten the trace between COMP pin
and S/GND pin. In order to stabilize the operation of
IC, a dedicated trace to S/GND pin is recommended.
(7) Thermal Considerations
Because the power MOSFET has a positive thermal
coefficient of RDS(ON), consider it in thermal design.
Since the copper area under the IC and the S/GND
trace act as a heatsink, its traces should be as wide as
possible.
(5) FB Trace Layout
The auxiliary winding voltage is divided by resistors
and is induced to FB pin. In order to achieve the
accurate primary side regulation, the trace between
the resistors and FB pin should be as short as
possible.
(6) Secondary 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. If this trace
is thin and long, inductance resulting from the loop
may increase surge voltage at turning off the power
MOSFET. Proper rectifier smoothing trace layout
helps to increase margin against the power MOSFET
breakdown voltage, and reduces stress on the clamp
snubber circuit and losses in it.

Notes:
1) Coupling between D winding and S1 winding should be adjusted and be improved by applying the solid
winding construction in D winding, for example.
2) The peak value of drain current ID in normal operation is determined by LP value. Since the slope of ID is
expressed as VDS/LP, the smaller the LP value, the steeper the slope of ID becomes. Thus the peak value of
drain current becomes high as shown in Figure 13-2. The IC limits the peak current by drain current limit
IDLIM (Overcurrent state). If LP value becomes small by variation, there is the case that the system is in
overcurrent state. Then the designed output power cannot be achieved. Thus the L P value should be
determined after the confirmation in actual operation using minimum LP value within the variation, where
the peak current value should be less than IDLIM(MIN) in minimum input voltage of power supply.

OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
In the case that you use Sanken products or design your products by using Sanken products, the reliability largely
depends on the degree of derating to be made to the rated values. Derating may be interpreted as a case that an operation
range is set by derating the load from each rated value or surge voltage or noise is considered for derating in order to
assure or improve the reliability. In general, derating factors include electric stresses such as electric voltage, electric
current, electric power etc., environmental stresses such as ambient temperature, humidity etc. and thermal stress caused
due to self-heating of semiconductor products. For these stresses, instantaneous values, maximum values and minimum
values must be taken into consideration. In addition, it should be noted that since power devices or IC’s including power
devices have large self-heating value, the degree of derating of junction temperature affects the reliability significantly.
Because reliability can be affected adversely by improper storage environments and handling methods, please
observe the following cautions.
Cautions for Storage
 Ensure that storage conditions comply with the standard temperature (5 to 35°C) and the standard relative humidity
(around 40 to 75%); avoid storage locations that experience extreme changes in temperature or humidity.
 Avoid locations where dust or harmful gases are present and avoid direct sunlight.
 Reinspect for rust on leads and solderability of the products that have been stored for a long time.
Cautions for Testing and Handling
When tests are carried out during inspection testing and other standard test periods, protect the products from power
surges from the testing device, shorts between the product pins, and wrong connections. Ensure all test parameters are
within the ratings specified by Sanken for the products.
Remarks About Using Thermal Silicone Grease
 When thermal silicone grease is used, it shall be applied evenly and thinly. If more silicone grease than required is
applied, it may produce excess stress.
 The thermal silicone grease that has been stored for a long period of time may cause cracks of the greases, and it
cause low radiation performance. In addition, the old grease may cause cracks in the resin mold when screwing the
products to a heatsink.
 Fully consider preventing foreign materials from entering into the thermal silicone grease. When foreign material
is immixed, radiation performance may be degraded or an insulation failure may occur due to a damaged insulating
plate.
 The thermal silicone greases that are recommended for the resin molded semiconductor should be used.
Our recommended thermal silicone grease is the following, and equivalent of these.

Soldering
 When soldering the products, please be sure to minimize the working time, within the following limits:
• 260 ± 5 °C
10 ± 1 s (Flow, 2 times)
• 380 ± 10 °C 3.5 ± 0.5 s (Soldering iron, 1 time)
 Soldering should be at a distance of at least 1.5 mm from the body of the products.
Electrostatic Discharge
 When handling the products, the operator must be grounded. Grounded wrist straps worn should have at least 1MΩ
of resistance from the operator to ground to prevent shock hazard, and it should be placed near the operator.
 Workbenches where the products are handled should be grounded and be provided with conductive table and floor
mats.
 When using measuring equipment such as a curve tracer, the equipment should be grounded.
 When soldering the products, the head of soldering irons or the solder bath must be grounded in order to prevent
leak voltages generated by them from being applied to the products.
 The products should always be stored and transported in Sanken shipping containers or conductive containers, or
be wrapped in aluminum foil.
