Operational Description All of the parameter values used in these descriptions are typical values of STR-A6151, 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). The approximate value of auxiliary winding voltage is about 15 V to 20 V, taking account of the winding turns of D winding so that VCC pin voltage becomes Equation (2) within the specification of input and output voltage variation of power supply. VCC( BIAS) (max .) VCC VCC(OVP ) (min .) ⇒ 11.6(V) VCC 28.7(V) (1) 9.1 Startup Operation Figure 9-1 shows the circuit around VCC pin. Figure 9-2 shows VCC pin voltage behavior during the startup period. BR1 The startup time of IC is determined by C2 capacitor value. The approximate startup time tSTART is calculated as follows: t START C2 × T1 VCC( ON )-VCC( INT ) (2) I STRATUP VAC C1 P DST where, tSTART VCC(INT) 5 U1 ST VCC 2 D2 R2 9.2 Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO) C2 GND 3 Figure 9-3 shows the relationship of VCC pin voltage and circuit current ICC. When VCC pin voltage increases to VCC(ON) = 17.5 V, the control circuit starts switching operation and the circuit current ICC increases. When VCC pin voltage decreases to VCC(OFF) = 10 V, the control circuit stops operation by UVLO (Undervoltage Lockout) circuit, and reverts to the state before startup. VD D Figure 9-1 VCC pin peripheral circuit VCC pin voltage IC starts operation Startup success Target operating voltage VCC(ON) : Startup time of IC (s) : Initial voltage on VCC pin (V) Circuit current, ICC ICC(ON) Increase with rising of output voltage VCC(OFF) Stop Startup failure Start Time Figure 9-2 VCC pin voltage during startup period The IC incorporates the startup circuit. The circuit is connected to ST pin. During the startup process, the constant current, ISTARTUP = − 790 µA, charges C2 at VCC pin. When VCC pin voltage increases to VCC(ON) = 17.5 V, the IC starts the operation. Then circuit current increases and VCC pin voltage decreases. Since the Operation Stop Voltage VCC(OFF) = 10 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 9-1 becomes a power source to the control circuit in operation.

In addition, the IC uses the peak-current-mode control method, which enhances the response speed and provides the stable operation.

Buffer S/OCP + OCP Comp. 1 VOCP(TH) ID 4 GND FB/OLP VROCP IFB ROCP DZ1 C4 C3 When load conditions become lighter, the output voltage, VOUT, increases. Thus, the feedback current from the error amplifier on the secondary-side also increases. The feedback current is sunk at the FB/OLP pin, transferred through a photo-coupler, PC1, and the FB/OLP pin voltage decreases. Thus, VSC decreases, and the peak value of VOCPM is controlled to be low, and the peak drain current of I D decreases. This control prevents the output voltage from increasing. Heavy load conditions U1 3 The IC controls the peak value of VOCPM voltage to be close to target voltage (VSC), comparing VOCPM with VSC by internal FB comparator. VOCPM is amplified VROCP voltage that is a detection voltage by current detection resistor, ROCP. Light load conditions Gate control Q to the gate control circuit, and power MOSFET turns off. PC1 When load conditions become greater, the IC performs the inverse operation to that described above. Thus, VSC increases and the peak drain current of ID increases. This control prevents the output voltage from decreasing. 9.4 Leading Edge Blanking Function Figure 9-4 FB/OLP pin peripheral circuit FB comparator - VSC + VOCPM Drain current, ID The constant voltage control of output of the IC uses the peak-current-mode control method. 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 = 320 ns is built-in. In the period of tBW, the IC does not respond to the surge voltage in turning on the power MOSFET. Figure 9-5 The waveform of ID and FB comparator input 9.5 Auto Standby Function The internal fixed off-time, tOFF is made from internal off timer circuit, the turn-on timing of power MOSFET depends on tOFF. Turn-on After the period of tOFF, OFF signal output becomes High, Q of PRC latch circuit is latched to Low. As a result, turn-on signal is input to the gate control circuit, and power MOSFET turns on. Tuen-off When the OCP comparator or the FB comparator resets the PRC latch circuit, Q of PRC latch circuit is latched to High. As a result, turn-off signal is input STR-A6100 - DS Rev.2.0 Dec. 25, 2013 Automatic standby mode is activated automatically when the drain current, ID, reduces under light load conditions, at which ID is less than 25% of the maximum drain current (it is in the Overcurrent Protection state). The operation mode becomes burst oscillation, as shown in Figure 9-6. The 25% of the maximum drain current corresponds to the Burst Threshold Voltage of FB/OLP pin, VBURST = 0.79 V (0.75 V for STR-A61××M and STR-A6153E). Burst oscillation mode reduces switching losses and improves power supply efficiency because of periodic non-switching intervals. Generally, to improve efficiency under light load conditions, the frequency of the burst mode becomes SANKEN ELECTRIC CO.,LTD. 15 STR-A6100 Series just a few kilohertz. Because the IC suppresses the peak drain current well during burst mode, audible noises can be reduced. Output current, IOUT current is. As a result, the detection voltage becomes higher than VOCP(TH). Thus, the output current depends on the AC input voltage in OCP operation (refer to Figure 9-7). Below several kHz Drain current, ID Normal operation Standby operation Normal operation Output voltage, VOUT(V) Burst oscillation Low AC input voltage High AC input voltage Output current, IOUT(A) Figure 9-6 Auto Standby mode timing Figure 9-7 Output characteristic curve 9.6 Auto Bias Function (STR-A61××) STR-A61×× includes the auto bias function. The function becomes active during burst oscillation mode. When VCC pin voltage decreases to the Auto Bias Threshold Voltage, VCC(BIAS) = 10.6 V, during burst oscillation mode, the IC shifts to PRC operation so that VCC pin voltage does not decrease. As a result, the IC achieves stable standby operation. However, if the Bias Assist function is always activated during steady-state operation including standby mode, the power loss increases. Therefore, the VCC pin voltage should be more than VCC(BIAS), for example, by adjusting the turns ratio of the auxiliary winding and secondary winding and/or reducing the value of R2 in Figure 10-2 (refer to Section 10.1 Peripheral Components for a detail of R2). 9.7 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 OCP threshold voltage, VOCP(TH) = 0.77 V (1.13 V for STR-A61××M and STR-A6153E). Figure 9-7 shows the output characteristics. When OCP becomes active, the output voltage decreases and the auxiliary winding voltage, VD decreases in proportion to the output voltage. When VCC pin voltage decreases to VCC(OFF) = 10 V, the control circuit stops operation by UVLO circuit, and reverts to the state before startup. After that, VCC pin voltage is increased by Startup Current, ISTARTUP. When VCC pin voltage increases to VCC(ON) = 17.5 V, the IC restarts the operation. Thus the intermittent operation by UVLO is repeated in OCP operation. The IC usually has some propagation delay time. The steeper the slope of the actual drain current at a high AC input voltage is, the larger the actual peak of drain STR-A6100 - DS Rev.2.0 Dec. 25, 2013 When the multi outputs transformer is used, there is the case that the auxiliary winding voltage, VD does not decrease and the intermittent operation is not started, even if output voltage decreases in OCP operation. This is due to the poor coupling of transformer. In this case, the overload protection (OLP) becomes active. (refer to Section 9.8.) 9.8 Overload Protection (OLP) Figure 9-8 shows the FB/OLP pin peripheral circuit. Figure 9-9 shows the OLP operational waveforms. When the peak drain current of ID is limited by OCP operation, the output voltage, VOUT, decreases and the feedback current from the secondary photo-coupler becomes zero. Thus, the feedback current, IFB, charges C3 connected to the FB/OLP pin and the FB/OLP pin voltage increases. When the FB/OLP pin voltage increases to VFB(OLP) = 7.2 V or more for the OLP delay time, tDLY or more, the OLP function is activated and the IC stops switching operation. tDLY is calculated using Equation (3). t DLY C3 × (VOLP - VZ -VF ) (3) I OLP there, tDLY: OLP delay time VZ: zener voltage of zener diode, DZ1 VF: forward voltage of D3 IOLP: FB/OLP Pin Source Current in OLP Operation is − 26 µA After the switching operation stops, VCC pin voltage decreases to Operation Stop Voltage VCC(OFF) = 10 V and the intermittent operation by UVLO is repeated. This intermittent operation reduces the stress of parts such as power MOSFET and secondary side rectifier SANKEN ELECTRIC CO.,LTD. 16 STR-A6100 Series 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. As shown in Figure 9-9, tDLY should be longer than tSTART which is the period until the output voltage becomes constant. If tDLY is shorter than tSTART, the power supply may not start due to OLP operation. Releasing the latched state is done by turning off the input voltage and by dropping the VCC pin voltage below VCC(La.OFF) = 7.3 V.

In case the VCC pin voltage is provided by using auxiliary winding of transformer, the overvoltage conditions can be detected because the VCC pin voltage is proportional to output voltage. The approximate value of output voltage VOUT(OVP) in OVP condition is calculated by using Equation (4). Non-switching interval VOUT ( NORMAL ) VCC( NORMAL ) × 31.2 (4) where, VOUT(NORMAL): Output voltage in normal operation VCC(NORMAL): VCC pin voltage in normal operation Figure 9-9 OLP operational waveforms 9.10 Thermal Shutdown Function (TSD) 9.9 Overvoltage Protection (OVP) Figure 9-10 shows the OVP operational waveforms. When a voltage between VCC pin and GND terminal increases to VCC(OVP) = 31.2 V or more, OVP function is activated. When the OVP function is activated, the IC stops switching operation at the latched state. After that, VCC pin voltage is decreased by circuit current of IC. When VCC pin voltage becomes VCC(OFF) = 10 V or less, VCC pin voltage is increased by Startup Current. When VCC pin voltage increases to VCC(ON) = 17.5 V, the circuit current increases and VCC pin voltage decreases. In this way, VCC pin voltage goes up and down between VCC(OFF) and VCC(ON) during the latched state, excessive increase of VCC pin voltage is prevented. STR-A6100 - DS Rev.2.0 Dec. 25, 2013 When the temperature of control circuit increases to Tj(TSD) = 135 °C or more, Thermal Shutdown function is activated. When the TSD function is activated, the IC stops switching operation at the latched state (see the Section 9.9). Releasing the latched state is done by turning off the input voltage and by dropping the VCC pin voltage below VCC(La.OFF) = 7.3 V.

Use of high ripple current and low impedance types, designed for switch mode power supplies, is recommended. S/OCP Pin Peripheral Circuit Choose a type of low internal inductance because a high frequency switching current flows to ROCP in Figure 10-1, and of properly allowable dissipation. VCC Pin Peripheral Circuit The value of C2 in Figure 10-1 is generally recommended to be 10µ to 47μF (refer to Section 9.1, because the startup time is determined by the value of C2). In actual power supply circuits, there are cases in which the VCC pin voltage fluctuates in proportion to the output current, IOUT (see Figure 10-2), and the Overvoltage Protection function (OVP) on the VCC pin may be activated. This happens because C2 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 C2 peak charging, it is effective to add some value R2, of several tenths of ohms to several ohms, in series with D2 (see Figure 10-1). The optimal value of R2 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. STR-A6100 - DS Rev.2.0 Dec. 25, 2013 With R2 FB/OLP Pin Peripheral Circuit Figure 10-1 performs high frequency noise rejection and phase compensation, and should be connected close to these pins. The value of C3 is recommended to be about 2200p to 0.01µF. In order to make the value of C3 low and make the output response fast, DZ1 and C4 are connected. DZ1 prevents C4 charging in normal operation. The zener voltage of DZ1, VZ should be set higher than FB/OLP pin voltage in normal operation. Usually, the value of VZ is about 4.7 V to 5.6 V. C4 is for OLP delay time, tDLY setting. If C4 is too small, the power supply may not start due to OLP operation (see Section 9.8). The value of C4 is about 4.7 μF to 22 μF. C3, C4 and DZ1 should be selected based on actual operation in the application. ST Pin Peripheral Circuit When STR-A61×× and STR-A61××M are used, DST or RST should be connected to ST pin as shown in Figure 10-1. DST and RST prevent negative voltage from applying to ST pin. If ST pin voltage becomes under −0.3 V, the power supply may not start. The value of DST and RST should be selected based on actual operation in the application. Recommended value of RST is 33 kΩ, Recommended characteristics of DST is as follows: Characteristics Peak Reverse Voltage, VRM Forward current, IF Reverse Recovery Time, trr Reverse Leakage Current, IR Recommended range > 35 V > 1.5 mA < 27 μs < 100 μA Snubber Circuit In case the serge voltage of VDS is large, the circuit should be added as follows (see Figure 10-1); ・ A clamp snubber circuit of a capacitor-resistordiode (CRD) combination should be added on the primary winding P. ・ A damper snubber circuit of a capacitor (C) or a resistor-capacitor (RC) combination should be added between the D pin and the GND pin. In case the damper snubber circuit is added, this components should be connected near D pin and S/OCP pin. SANKEN ELECTRIC CO.,LTD. 18 STR-A6100 Series Phase Compensation A typical phase compensation circuit with a secondary shunt regulator (U51) is shown in Figure 10-3. C52 and R53 are for phase compensation. The value of C52 and R53 are recommended to be around 0.047 μF to 0.47 μF and 4.7 kΩ to 470 kΩ, respectively. They should be selected based on actual operation in the application. L51 T1 VOUT D51 PC1 R55 C51 S R54 R51 R52 In order to reduce the influence of surge voltage on the VCC pin, Figure 10-4 shows winding structural examples that are considered the placement of the auxiliary winding D. ▫ Winding structural example (a) : Separating the auxiliary winding D from the primary windings P1 and P2. where: P1 and P2 are windings divided the primary winding into two. ▫ Winding structural example (b) : Placing the auxiliary winding D within the secondary-side stabilized output winding, S1, in order to improve the coupling of those windings. where: S1 is a stabilized output winding of secondary-side windings, controlled to constant voltage.

Fluctuation of the VCC pin voltage by IOUT worsens in the following cases, requiring a transformer designer to pay close attention to the placement of the auxiliary winding D: ▫ Poor coupling between the primary and secondary windings (this causes high surge voltage and is seen in a design with low output voltage and high output current) ▫ Poor coupling between the auxiliary winding D and the secondary stabilized output winding where the output line voltage is controlled constant by the output voltage feedback (this is susceptible to surge voltage) STR-A6100 - DS Rev.2.0 Dec. 25, 2013 Bobbin 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 about 3 to 4A/mm2. If measures to further reduce temperature are still necessary, the following should be considered to increase the total surface area of the wiring: Margin tape P1 S1 D S2 S1 P2 Margin tape Winding structural example (b) Figure 10-4 Winding structural examples 10.2 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 10-5 shows the circuit design example. (1) Main Circuit Trace Layout: S/OCP pin to ROCP to C1 to T1 (winding P) to D pin This is the main trace containing switching currents, and thus it should be as wide trace and small loop as possible. If C1 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. SANKEN ELECTRIC CO.,LTD. 19 STR-A6100 Series (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 separated from main trace and connected at a single point grounding of point A in Figure 10-5 as close to the ROCP pin as possible. (5) FB/OLP Trace Layout The components connected to FB/OLP pin should be as close to FB/OLP pin as possible. The trace between the components and FB/OLP pin should be as short as possible. (6) Secondary Rectifier Smoothing Circuit Trace Layout: T1 (winding S) to D51 to C51 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. (3) VCC Trace Layout: GND pin to C2 (negative) to T1 (winding D) to R2 to D2 to C2 (positive) to VCC pin This is the trace for supplying power to the IC, and thus it should be as small loop as possible. If C2 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 GND pin is recommended. (4) ROCP Trace Layout (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 D pin trace act as a heatsink, its traces should be as wide as possible. ROCP should be placed as close as possible to the S/OCP pin. The connection between the power ground of the main trace and the IC ground should be at a single point ground (point A in Figure 10-5) which is close to the base of ROCP.

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 Silicone Grease with a Heatsink When silicone grease is used in mounting the products on a heatsink, it shall be applied evenly and thinly. If more silicone grease than required is applied, it may produce excess stress. Volatile-type silicone greases may crack after long periods of time, resulting in reduced heat radiation effect. Silicone greases with low consistency (hard grease) may cause cracks in the mold resin when screwing the products to a heatsink. Our recommended silicone greases for heat radiation purposes, which will not cause any adverse effect on the product life, are indicated below: Type Suppliers G746 Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd. YG6260 Momentive Performance Materials Inc. SC102 Dow Corning Toray Co., Ltd. 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.
