NCP1235 Product Preview Fixed Frequency Current Mode Controller for Flyback Converters The NCP1235 is a new fixed−frequency current−mode controller featuring Dynamic Self−Supply (DSS). This device is pin−to−pin compatible with the previous NCP12xx families. The DSS function greatly simplifies the design of the auxiliary supply and the VCC capacitor by activating the internal startup current source to supply the controller during transients. Due to frequency foldback, the controller exhibits excellent efficiency in light load condition while still achieving very low standby power consumption. Internal frequency jittering, ramp compensation, and a versatile latch input make this controller an excellent candidate for converters where components cost is the key constraints. In addition, the controller includes a new high voltage circuitry that combines a start−up current source and a brown−out detector able to sense the input voltage either from the rectified ac line or the dc filtered bulk voltage. The high voltage sensing circuitry is used for the overpower protection purposes as well. Overpower protection, overload protection, and next protective features increases safety level of the final application. Finally, due to a careful design, the precision of critical parameters is well controlled over the entire temperature range (−40°C to +125°C). www.onsemi.com MARKING DIAGRAM 8 35A065 ALYWX G SOIC−7 CASE 751U 1 35A065 = Specific Device Code A = Assembly Location L = Wafer Lot Y = Year W = Work Week G = Pb−Free Package PIN CONNECTIONS Latch 1 8 HV 6 VCC 5 DRV FB 2 CS 3 GND 4 (Top View) Features • Fixed−Frequency Current−Mode Operation with Built−In Ramp • • • • • • • ORDERING INFORMATION Compensation See detailed ordering and shipping information in the package 65 kHz Oscillator Frequency dimensions section on page 33 of this data sheet.

It is particularly well suited for applications where low part count is a key parameter, without sacrificing safety. • Current−Mode Operation with slope compensation: The primary peak current is permanently controlled by the FB voltage, ensuring maximum safety: the DRV turn−off event is dictated by the peak current setpoint. It also ensures that the frequency response of the system stays a first order if in DCM, which eases the design of the FB loop. The controller can be also used in CCM applications with a wide input voltage range thanks to its fixed ramp compensation that prevents the appearance of sub−harmonic oscillations. • Fixed−Frequency Oscillator with Jittering: The NCP1235 is available in different frequency options to fit any application. The internal oscillator features a low−frequency jittering that helps passing the EMI limits by spreading out the energy content of frequency peaks in quasi−peak and average mode of measurement. • Latched / Autorecovery Timer−Based Overload Protection: The overload protection depends only on the FB signal, making it able to work with any transformer, even with very poor coupling or high leakage inductance. When the fault timer elapses the device can be permanently latched in version A or the latch can be reset by an autorecovery restart of the device in version B. The power supply has to be stopped then restarted in order to resume operation, even if the overload condition disapears, in case of usage the A version of the NCP1235. The fault timer duration is internally fixed. The controller also latches off if the voltage on the CS pin reaches 1.5 times the maximum internal setpoint (allowing to detect winding short−circuits), with the same modes of releasing the latch in A or B version. • High Voltage Start−Up Current Source with Brown−Out Detection: Due to ON Semiconductor’s Very High Voltage technology, the NCP1235 can be directly connected to the high input voltage. The start−up current source ensures a clean start−up and the Dynamic Self−Supply (DSS) restarting the start−up current source to supply the controller if the VCC • • • • • • • voltage transiently drops. The high voltage pin also features a high−voltage sensing circuitry, which is able to turn the controller off if the input voltage is too low (brown−out condition). This protection works either with a DC input voltage or a rectified AC input voltage, and is independent of the high voltage ripple. Adjustable Overpower Compensation: The high input voltage sensed on the HV pin is converted into a current to build on the current sense voltage an offset proportional to the input voltage. By choosing the value of the resistor in series with the CS pin, the amount of compensation can be adjusted to the application. Frequency foldback then skip mode for light load operation: In order to ensure a high efficiency under all load conditions, the NCP1235 implements a frequency foldback for light load condition and a skip mode for extremely low load condition. The switching frequency is decreased down to 27 kHz to reduce switching losses. Extended VCC range: The NCP1235 accepts a supply voltage as high as 28 V, with an overvoltage threshold VCC(ovp) (typically 26.5 V) that latches the controller off. Clamped Driver Stage: Despite the high maximum supply voltage, the voltage on DRV pin is safely clamped below 16 V, allowing the use of any standard MOSFET, and reducing the current consumption of the controller. Dual Latch−off Input: The NCP1235 can be latched off by 2 ways: The voltage increase applied to its Latch pin (typically an overvoltage) or by a decrease this voltage. Thanks to the internal precise pull−up current source a NTC can be directly connected to the latch pin. This NTC will provide an overtemperature protection by decreasing its resistance and consequently the voltage at Latch pin, Soft−Start: At every start−up the peak current is gradually increased during 4.0 ms to minimize the stress on power components. Temperature Shutdown: The NCP1235 is internally protected against self−overheating: if the die temperature is too high, the controller shuts all circuitries down (including the HV start−up current source), allowing the silicon to cool down before attempting to restart. This ensures a safe behavior in case of failure. www.onsemi.com 13 NCP1235 Typical Operation • Start−up: The HV start−up current source ensures the • • • charging of the VCC capacitor up to the start−up threshold VCC(on), until the input voltage is high enough (above VHV(start)) to allow the switching to start. The controller then delivers pulses, starting with a soft−start period tSSTART during which the peak current linearly increases before the current−mode control takes over. During the soft−start period, the low level latch is ignored, and the latch current is double, to ensure a fast pre−charge of the Latch pin decoupling capacitor. Normal operation: As long as the feedback voltage is within the regulation range and VCC is maintained above VCC(min), the NCP1235 runs at a fixed frequency (with jittering) in current−mode control. The peak current (sensed on the CS pin) is set by the voltage on the FB pin. Fixed ramp compensation is applied internally to prevent sub−harmonic oscillations from occurring. Light load operation: When the FB voltage decreases below VFB(foldS), typically corresponding to a load of 33 % of the maximum load (for a DCM design), the switching frequency starts to decrease down to fOSC(min). By lowering the switching losses, this feature helps to improve the efficiency in light load conditions. The frequency jittering is enabled in light load operation as well. No load operation: When the FB voltage decreases below Vskip(in), typically corresponding to a load of 2 % of the maximum load, the controller enters skip mode. By completely stopping the switching while the feedback voltage is below Vskip(out), the losses are • • • further reduced. This allows minimizing the power dissipation under extremely low load conditions. As the skip mode is entered at very light loads, for which the peak current is very small, there is no risk of audible noise. VCC can be maintained between VCC(on) and VCC(min) by the DSS, if the auxiliary winding does not provide sufficient level of VCC voltage under this condition. Overload: The NCP1235 features timer−based overload detection, solely dependent on the feedback information: as soon as the internal peak current setpoint hits the VILIM clamp, an internal timer starts to count. When the timer elapses, the controller stops and enter the protection mode, autorecovery for the B version (the controller initiates a new start−up after tautorec elapses), or latched for the A version (the latch is released if a brown−out event occurs or VCC is reset). Brown−out: The NCP1235 features a true AC line monitoring circuitry. It includes a minimum start−up threshold and an autorecovery brown−out protection; both of them independent of the ripple on the input voltage. It can even work with an unfiltered, rectified AC input. The thresholds are fixed, but they are designed to fit most of the standard AC−DC conversion applications. Latch−off: When the Latch input is pulled up (typically by an over−voltage condition), or pulled down (typically by an over−temperature condition, using the provided current source with an NTC), the controller latches off. A voltage higher than VCC(ovp) on the VCC pin has the same effect. The latch is released when a brown−out condition occurs, or when the VCC is reset. www.onsemi.com 14 NCP1235 DETAILED DESCRIPTION High−Voltage Current Source with Built−in Brown−out Detection The NCP1235 HV pin can be connected either to the rectified bulk voltage, or to the ac line through a rectifier.

HV Start−up Current Source Functional Schematic condition, otherwise the power dissipation on the die would be too much. As a result, an auxiliary voltage source is needed to supply VCC during normal operation. The DSS is useful to keep the controller alive when no switching pulses are delivered, e.g. in brown−out condition, or to prevent the controller from stopping during load transients when the VCC might drop. If the voltage increases above the overvoltage protection threshold VCC(ovp), the controller is latched off. At start−up, the current source turns on when the voltage on the HV pin is higher than VHV(min), and turns off when VCC reaches VCC(on), then turns on again when VCC reaches VCC(min), until the input voltage is high enough to ensure a proper start−up, i.e. when VHV reaches VHV(start). The controller actually starts the next time VCC reaches VCC(on). Even though the DSS is able to maintain the VCC voltage between VCC(on) and VCC(min) by turning the HV start−up current source on and off, it can only be used in light load www.onsemi.com 15 NCP1235 VHV VHV(start) Waits next VCC(on) before starting VHV(min) time VCC VCC(on) VCC(min) HV current source = Istart1 HV current source = Istart2 VCC(inhibit) time DRV Figure 30. Start−up Timing Diagram time the HV current source will always turn on and off to maintain VCC between VCC(min) and VCC(on). For safety reasons, the start−up current is lowered when VCC is below VCC(inhibit), to reduce the power dissipation in case the VCC pin is shorted to GND (in case of VCC capacitor failure, or external pull−down on VCC to disable the controller). There are only two conditions for which the current source doesn’t turn on when VCC reaches VCC(min): the voltage on HV pin is too low (below VHV(min)), or a thermal shutdown condition (TSD) has been detected. In all other conditions, Brown−out protection When the input voltage goes below VHV(stop), a brown−out condition is detected, and the controller stops. The HV current source alternatively turns on and off to maintain VCC between VCC(on) and VCC(min) until the input voltage is back above VHV(start). www.onsemi.com 16 NCP1235 HV stop Brown-out or AC OVP detected Waits next VCC(on) before starting VCC time VCC(on) VCC(min) time DRV time Figure 31.

AC Input Brown−out Timing Diagram Clamped Driver Oscillator with Maximum Duty Cycle and Frequency Jittering The supply voltage for the NCP1235 can be as high as 28 V, but most of the MOSFETs that will be connected to the DRV pin cannot accept more than 20 V on their gate. The driver pin is therefore clamped safely below 16 V. This driver has a typical current capability of $500 mA. The NCP1235 includes an oscillator that sets the switching frequency of 65 kHz with an accuracy of $7%. The maximum duty cycle of the DRV pin is 80%, with an accuracy of $7%. In order to improve the EMI signature, the switching frequency jitters $10% around its nominal value, with a triangle−wave shape and at a frequency of 125 Hz. This frequency jittering is active even when the frequency is decreased to improve the EMI in light load condition. VCC Clamp fOSC DRV signal fOSC + 6 Nominal fOSC fOSC − 6 Figure 34.

On the other input the FB voltage divided by 5 sets the threshold: when the voltage ramp reaches this threshold, the output driver is turned off. The maximum value for the current sense is 0.7 V, and it is set by a dedicated comparator. NCP1235 is a current−mode controller, which means that the FB voltage sets the peak current flowing in the inductance and the MOSFET. This is done through a PWM comparator: the current is sensed across a resistor and the resulting voltage is applied to the CS pin.

Current Sense Block Schematic Each time the controller is starting, i.e. the controller was off and starts – or restarts – when VCC reaches VCC(on), a soft−start is applied: the current sense setpoint is linearly increased from 0 (the minimum level can be higher than 0 because of the LEB and propagation delay) until it reaches VILIM (after a duration of tSSTART), or until the FB loop imposes a setpoint lower than the one imposed by the soft−start (the 2 comparators outputs are OR’ed). The soft−start ramp signal is generated by the D/A converter in the NCP1235, that’s why there are observable 15 discrete steps instead the truly linearly increasing current setpoint ramp. www.onsemi.com 19 NCP1235 VFB VFB(fault) Time Soft-start ramp VFB takes over soft-start VILIM Time tSSTART CS Setpoint VILIMI Time Figure 36. Soft−Start Overpower compensation Under some conditions, like a winding short−circuit for instance, not all the energy stored during the on time is transferred to the output during the off time, even if the on time duration is at its minimum (imposed by the propagation delay of the detector added to the LEB duration). As a result, the current sense voltage keeps on increasing above VILIM, because the controller is blind during the LEB blanking time. Dangerously high current can grow in the system if nothing is done to stop the controller. That’s what the additional comparator, that senses when the current sense voltage on CS pin reaches VCS(stop) (= 1.5 x VILIM), does: as soon as this comparator toggles, the controller immediately enters the protection mode (latched or autorecovery according to the chosen option). The power delivered by a flyback power supply is proportional to the square of the peak current in the discontinuous conduction mode: P OUT + 1 @ h @ L p @ F SW @ I p 2 2 (eq. 1) Unfortunately, due to the inherent propagation delay of the logic, the actual peak current is higher at high input voltage than at low input voltage, leading to a significant difference in the maximum output power delivered by the power supply. www.onsemi.com 20 NCP1235 IP IP to be compensated ILIMIT High Line Low Line time tdelay tdelay Figure 37. Line Compensation for True Overpower Protection would be in the same order of magnitude. Therefore the compensation current is only added when the FB voltage is higher than VFB(OPCE). However, because the HV pin can be connected to an ac voltage, there is needed an additional circuitry to read or at least closely estimate the actual voltage on the bulk capacitor. To compensate this and have an accurate overpower protection, an offset proportional to the input voltage is added on the CS signal by turning on an internal current source: by adding an external resistor in series between the sense resistor and the CS pin, a voltage offset is created across it by the current. The compensation can be adjusted by changing the value of the resistor. But this offset is unwanted to appear when the current sense signal is small, i.e. in light load conditions, where it (68 ms) S Q R Q Brown Out HV Timer HV thv (32 ms) Watch Dog VHVstop A/D 3 bit Converter + Peak Detector 3 bit Register I Generator I ctrl FB To CS Block Tblanking LEB CS VFB (OPC) Figure 38.

The timer is reset when the CS setpoint goes back below VILIM before the timer elapses. The fault timer is also started if the driver signal is reset by the max duty cycle. When an overcurrent occurs on the output of the power supply, the FB loop asks for more power than the controller can deliver, and the CS setpoint reaches VILIMIT.

The current−mode control is still active while the oscillator frequency decreases. Note that the frequency foldback is disabled if the controller runs at its maximum duty cycle.

Latch Detection Schematic To avoid any false triggering, spikes shorter than 50 ms (for the high latch) or 350 ms (for the low latch) are blanked and only longer signals can actually latch the controller. Reset occurs when a brown−out condition is detected or the VCC is cycled down to a reset voltage, which in a real application can only happen if the power supply is unplugged from the AC line. Upon start−up, the internal references take some time before being at their nominal values; so one of the comparators could toggle even if it should not. Therefore the internal logic does not take the latch signal into account before the controller is ready to start: once VCC reaches VCC(on), the latch pin High latch state is taken into account The Latch pin is dedicated to the latch−off function: it includes two levels of detection that define a working window, between a high latch and a low latch: within these two thresholds, the controller is allowed to run; but as soon as either the low or the high threshold is crossed, the controller is latched off. The lower threshold is intended to be used with an NTC thermistor, thanks to an internal current source INTC. An active clamp prevents the voltage from reaching the high threshold if it is only pulled up by the INTC current. To reach the high threshold, the pull−up current has to be higher than the pull−down capability of the clamp (typically 1.5 mA at VOVP). www.onsemi.com 28 NCP1235 and the DRV switching starts only if it is allowed; whereas the Low latch (typically sensing an overtemperature) is taken into account only after the soft−start is finished. In addition, the NTC current is doubled to INTC(SSTART) during the soft−start period, to speed up the charging of the Latch pin capacitor. The maximum value of Latch pin capacitor is given by the following formula (The standard start−up condition is considered and the NTC current is neglected) : C LATCHmax + t SSTARTmin @ I NTC(SSTART)min V clamp0min (eq. 2) 2.8 @ 10 −3 @ 130 @ 10 −6 + F + 364 nF 1.0 VCC VCC(on) VCC(min) Start-up initiated by VCC(on) Internal Latch Signal Noise spike ignored (tLatch blanking) Latch signal high during pre-start phase time time DRV Latch-off Switching allowed (no latch event) time Figure 50.
