•
•
The second generation COOLSET™-F2 provides several
special enhancements to satisfy the needs for low power
standby and protection features. In standby mode
frequency reduction is used to lower the power
consumption and support a stable output voltage in this
mode. The frequency reduction is limited to 21.5 kHz to
avoid audible noise. In case of failure modes like open loop,
overvoltage or overload due to short circuit the device
switches in Auto Restart Mode which is controlled by the
internal protection unit. By means of the internal precise
peak current limitation the dimension of the transformer and
the secondary diode can be lower which leads to more cost
efficiency.

The information about the regulation is provided by the
FB Pin to the internal Protection Unit and to the internal
PWM-Comparator to control the duty cycle.
Isense (Current Sense)
The Current Sense pin senses the voltage developed
on the series resistor inserted in the source of the
integrated CoolMOS™. When Isense reaches the
internal threshold of the Current Limit Comparator, the
Driver output is disabled. By this means the Over
Current Detection is realized.
Furthermore the current information is provided for the
PWM-Comparator to realize the Current Mode.

The Undervoltage Lockout monitors the external
supply voltage VVCC. In case the IC is inactive the
current consumption is max. 55µA. When the SMPS is
plugged to the main line the current through RStart-up
charges the external Capacitor CVCC. When VVCC
exceeds the on-threshold VCCon=13.5V the internal bias
circuit and the voltage reference are switched on. After
it the internal bandgap generates a reference voltage
VREF=6.5V to supply the internal circuits. To avoid
uncontrolled ringing at switch-on a hysteresis is
implemented which means that switch-off is only after
active mode when Vcc falls below 8.5V.
In case of switch-on a Power Up Reset is done by
reseting the internal error-latch in the protection unit.
When VVCC falls below the off-threshold VCCoff=8.5V the
internal reference is switched off and the Power Down
reset let T1 discharging the soft-start capacitor CSoft-Start
at pin SoftS. Thus it is ensured that at every switch-on
the voltage ramp at pin SoftS starts at zero.

Functional Description
The primary current is sensed by the external series
resistor RSense inserted in the source of the integrated
CoolMOS™. By means of Current Mode the regulation
of the secondary voltage is insensitive on line
variations. Line variation causes varition of the
increasing current slope which controls the duty cycle.
The external RSense allows an individual adjustment of
the maximum source current of the integrated
CoolMOS™.

PWM-OP
The input of the PWM-OP is applied over the internal
leading edge blanking to the external sense resistor
RSense connected to pin ISense. RSense converts the
source current into a sense voltage. The sense voltage
is amplified with a gain of 3.65 by PWM OP. The output
of the PWM-OP is connected to the voltage source V1.
The voltage ramp with the superimposed amplified
current singal is fed into the positive inputs of the PWMComparator, C5 and the Soft-Start-Comparator.
Improved Current Mode
To improve the Current Mode during light load
conditions the amplified current ramp of the PWM-OP
is superimposed on a voltage ramp, which is built by
the switch T2, the voltage source V1 and the 1st order
low pass filter composed of R1 and C1(see Figure 6,
Figure 7). Every time the oscillator shuts down for max.
duty cycle limitation the switch T2 is closed by VOSC.
When the oscillator triggers the Gate Driver T2 is
opened so that the voltage ramp can start.
In case of light load the amplified current ramp is to
small to ensure a stable regulation. In that case the
Voltage Ramp is a well defined signal for the
comparison with the FB-signal. The duty cycle is then
controlled by the slope of the Voltage Ramp.
By means of the C5 Comparator the Gate Driver is
switched-off until the voltage ramp exceeds 0.3V. It
allows the duty cycle to be reduced continously till 0%
by decreasing VFB below that threshold.

PWM-Comparator
The PWM-Comparator compares the sensed current
signal of the integrated CoolMOSTM with the feedback
signal VFB (see Figure 8). VFB is created by an external
optocoupler or external transistor in combination with
the internal pullup resistor RFB and provides the load
information of the feedback circuitry. When the
amplified current signal of the integrated CoolMOS™
exceeds the signal VFB the PWM-Comparator switches
off the Gate Driver.

pullup resistor RSoft-Start. The Soft-Start-Comparator
compares the voltage at pin SoftS at the negative input
with the ramp signal of the PWM-OP at the positive
input. When Soft-Start voltage VSoftS is less than
Feedback voltage VFB the Soft-Start-Comparator limits
the pulse width by reseting the PWM-Latch (see Figure
9). In addition to Start-Up, Soft-Start is also activated at
each restart attempt during Auto Restart. By means of
the above mentioned CSoft-Start the Soft-Start can be
defined by the user. The Soft-Start is finished when
VSoftS exceeds 5.3V. At that time the Protection Unit is
activated by Comparator C4 and senses the FB by
Comparator C3 wether the voltage is below 4.8V which
means that the voltage on the secondary side of the
SMPS is settled. The internal Zener Diode at SoftS with
breaktrough voltage of 5.6V is to prevent the internal
circuit from saturation (see Figure 10).

3.4.1
Oscillator
3.5.1
The oscillator generates a frequency fswitch = 100kHz. A
resistor, a capacitor and a current source and current
sink which determine the frequency are integrated. The
charging and discharging current of the implemented
oscillator capacitor are internally trimmed, in order to
achieve a very accurate switching frequency. The ratio
of controlled charge to discharge current is adjusted to
reach a max. duty cycle limitation of Dmax=0.72.
3.4.2
Current Limiting
There is a cycle by cycle current limiting realised by the
Current-Limit Comparator to provide an overcurrent
detection. The source current of the integrated
CoolMOSTM is sensed via an external sense resistor
RSense . By means of RSense the source current is
transformed to a sense voltage VSense. When the
voltage VSense exceeds the internal threshold voltage
Vcsth the Current-Limit-Comparator immediately turns
off the gate drive. To prevent the Current Limiting from
distortions caused by leading edge spikes a Leading
Edge Blanking is integrated at the Current Sense.
Furthermore a Propagation Delay Compensation is
added to support the immedeate shut down of the
CoolMOS™ in case of overcurrent.

Frequency Reduction
The frequency of the oscillator is depending on the
voltage at pin FB. The dependence is shown in Figure
12. This feature allows a power supply to operate at
lower frequency at light loads thus lowering the
switching losses while maintaining good cross
regulation performance and low output ripple. In case
of low power the power consumption of the whole
SMPS can now be reduced very effective. The minimal
reachable frequency is limited to 21.5 kHz to avoid
audible noise in any case.

Leading Edge Blanking
Each time when CoolMOS™ is switched on a leading
spike is generated due to the primary-side
capacitances and secondary-side rectifier reverse
recovery time. To avoid a premature termination of the
switching pulse this spike is blanked out with a time
constant of tLEB = 220ns. During that time the output of
the Current-Limit Comparator cannot switch off the
gate drive.

Functional Description
3.5.2
The propagation delay compensation is done by
means of a dynamic threshold voltage Vcsth (see Figure
15). In case of a steeper slope the switch off of the
driver is earlier to compensate the delay.
E.g. Ipeak = 0.5A with RSense = 2 . Without propagation
delay compensation the current sense threshold is set
to a static voltage level Vcsth=1V. A current ramp of
dI/dt = 0.4A/µs, that means dVSense/dt = 0.8V/µs, and a
propagation delay time of i.e. tPropagation Delay =180ns
leads then to a Ipeak overshoot of 12%. By means of
propagation delay compensation the overshoot is only
about 2% (see Figure 16).
Propagation Delay Compensation
In case of overcurrent detection by ILimit the shut down
of CoolMOS™ is delayed due to the propagation delay
of the circuit. This delay causes an overshoot of the
peak current Ipeak which depends on the ratio of dI/dt of
the peak current (see Figure 14).

Overcurrent Shutdown
PWM-Latch
Driver
The driver-stage drives the gate of the CoolMOS™
and is optimized to minimize EMI and to provide high
circuit efficiency. This is done by reducing the switch on
slope when reaching the CoolMOS™ threshold. This is
achieved by a slope control of the rising edge at the
driver’s output (see Figure 17).
Thus the leading switch on spike is minimized. When
CoolMOS™ is switched off, the falling shape of the
driver is slowed down when reaching 2V to prevent an
overshoot below ground. Furthermore the driver circuit
is designed to eliminate cross conduction of the output
stage. At voltages below the undervoltage lockout
threshold VVCCoff the gate drive is active low.

Propagation Delay

The oscillator clock output applies a set pulse to the
PWM-Latch when initiating CoolMOS™ conduction.
After setting the PWM-Latch can be reset by the PWMOP, the Soft-Start-Comparator, the Current-LimitComparator, Comparator C3 or the Error-Latch of the
Protection Unit. In case of reseting the driver is shut
down immediately.

The overshoot of Signal2 is bigger than of Signal1 due
to the steeper rising waveform.
A propagation delay compensation is integrated to
bound the overshoot dependent on dI/dt of the rising
primary current. That means the propagation delay
time between exceeding the current sense threshold
Vcsth and the switch off of CoolMOS™ is compensated
over temperature within a range of at least.

Protection Unit (Auto Restart Mode)
An overload, open loop and overvoltage detection is
integrated within the Protection Unit. These three
failure modes are latched by an Error-Latch. Additional
thermal shutdown is latched by the Error-Latch. In case
of those failure modes the Error-Latch is set after a
blanking time of 5µs and the CoolMOS™ is shut down.
That blanking prevents the Error-Latch from distortions
caused by spikes during operation mode.

Figure 18 shows the Auto Restart Mode in case of
overload or open loop with normal load. The detection
of open loop or overload is provided by the Comparator
C3, C4 and the AND-gate G2 (see Figure19). The
detection is activated by C4 when the voltage at pin
SoftS exceeds 5.3V. Till this time the IC operates in the
Soft-Start Phase. After this phase the comparator C3
can set the Error-Latch in case of open loop or overload
which leads the feedback voltage VFB to exceed the
threshold of 4.8V. After latching VCC decreases till
8.5V and inactivates the IC. At this time the external
Soft-Start capacitor is discharged by the internal
transistor T1 due to Power Down Reset. When the IC
is inactive VVCC increases till VCCon = 13.5V by charging
the Capacitor CVCC by means of the Start-Up Resistor
RStart-Up. Then the Error-Latch is reset by Power Up
Reset and the external Soft-Start capacitor CSoft-Start is
charged by the internal pullup resistor RSoft-Start . During
the Soft-Start Phase which ends when the voltage at
pin SoftS exceeds 5.3V the detection of overload and
open loop by C3 and G2 is inactive. In this way the Start
Up Phase is not detected as an overload.

Auto Restart Mode
Figure 20 shows the Auto Restart Mode for open loop
and no load condition. In case of this failure mode the
converter output voltage increases and also VCC. An
additional protection by the comparators C1, C2 and
the AND-gate G1 is implemented to consider this
failure mode (see Figure 21).The overvoltage detection
is provided by Comparator C1 only in the first time
during the Soft-Start Phase till the Soft-Start voltage
exceeds the threshold of the Comparator C2 at 4.0V
and the voltage at pin FB is above 4.8V. When VCC
exceeds 16.5V during the overvoltage detection phase
C1 can set the Error-Latch and the Burst Phase during
Auto Restart Mode is finished earlier. In that case
TBurst2 is shorter than TSoft-Start . By means of C2 the
normal operation mode is prevented from overvoltage

Total Quality Management
Qualität hat für uns eine umfassende
Bedeutung. Wir wollen allen Ihren
Ansprüchen in der bestmöglichen
Weise gerecht werden. Es geht uns also
nicht nur um die Produktqualität –
unsere
Anstrengungen
gelten
gleichermaßen der Lieferqualität und
Logistik, dem Service und Support
sowie allen sonstigen Beratungs- und
Betreuungsleistungen.
Dazu
gehört
eine
bestimmte
Geisteshaltung unserer Mitarbeiter.
Total Quality im Denken und Handeln
gegenüber Kollegen, Lieferanten und
Ihnen, unserem Kunden. Unsere
Leitlinie ist jede Aufgabe mit „Null
Fehlern“ zu lösen – in offener
Sichtweise auch über den eigenen
Arbeitsplatz hinaus – und uns ständig
zu verbessern.
Unternehmensweit orientieren wir uns
dabei auch an „top“ (Time Optimized
Processes), um Ihnen durch größere
Schnelligkeit
den
entscheidenden
Wettbewerbsvorsprung zu verschaffen.
Geben Sie uns die Chance, hohe
Leistung durch umfassende Qualität zu
beweisen.
Wir werden Sie überzeugen.
