Variable Off Time PWM
Controller
The NCP1351 is a current−mode controller targeting low power
off−line flyback Switched Mode Power Supplies (SMPS) where cost
is of utmost importance. Based on a fixed peak current technique
(quasi−fixed TON), the controller decreases its switching frequency as
the load becomes lighter. As a result, a power supply using the
NCP1351 naturally offers excellent no−load power consumption,
while optimizing the efficiency in other loading conditions. When the
frequency decreases, the peak current is gradually reduced down to
approximately 30% of the maximum peak current to prevent
transformer mechanical resonance. The risk of acoustic noise is thus
greatly diminished while keeping good standby power performance.
An externally adjustable timer permanently monitors the feedback
activity and protects the supply in presence of a short−circuit or an
overload. Once the timer elapses, NCP1351 stops switching and stays
latched for version A, and tries to restart for Version B.
The internal structure features an optimized arrangement which
allows one of the lowest available startup current, a fundamental
parameter when designing low standby power supplies.
The negative current sensing technique minimizes the impact of the
switching noise on the controller operation and offers the user to select
the maximum peak voltage across his current sense resistor. Its power
dissipation can thus be application optimized.
Finally, the bulk input ripple ensures a natural frequency smearing
which smooths the EMI signature.

NCP1351
The NCP1351 implements a fixed peak current mode
technique whose regulation scheme implements a variable
switching frequency. As shown on the typical application
diagram, the controller is designed to operate with a
minimum number of external components. It incorporates
the following features:
• Frequency Foldback: Since the switching period
increases when power demand decreases, the switching
frequency naturally diminishes in light load conditions.
This helps to minimize switching losses and offers
good standby power performance.
• Very Low Startup Current: The patented internal
supply block is specially designed to offer a very low
current consumption during startup. It allows the use of
a very high value external startup resistor, greatly
reducing dissipation, improving efficiency and
minimizing standby power consumption.
• Natural Frequency Dithering: The quasi−fixed tON
mode of operation improves the EMI signature since
the switching frequency varies with the natural bulk
ripple voltage.
• Peak Current Compression: As the load becomes
lighter, the frequency decreases and can enter the
audible range. To avoid exciting transformer
mechanical resonances, hence generating acoustic
noise, the NCP1351 includes a patented technique,
which reduces the peak current as power goes down. As
such, inexpensive transformer can be used without
having noise problems.
• Negative Primary Current Sensing: By sensing the
total current, this technique does not modify the
MOSFET driving voltage (VGS) while switching.
Furthermore, the programming resistor, together with
•
•
•
•
•
•
the pin capacitance, forms a residual noise filter which
blanks spurious spikes.
Programmable Primary Current Sense: It offers a
second peak current adjustment variable, which
improves the design flexibility.
Extended VCC Range: By accepting VCC levels up to
28 V, the device offers added flexibility in presence of
loosely coupled transformers. The gate drive is safely
clamped below 20 V to avoid stressing the driven
MOSFET.
Easy OPP: Connecting a resistor from the CS pin to
the auxiliary winding allows easy bulk voltage
compensation.
Secondary or Primary Regulation: The feedback
loop arrangement allows simple secondary or primary
side regulation without significant additional external
components.
Latch Input: If voltage on Pin 7 is externally brought
above 5 V, the controller permanently latches off and
stays latched until the user cycles VCC down, below 4
V typically.
Fault Timer: In presence of badly coupled transformer,
it can be quite difficult to detect an overload or a
short−circuit on the primary side. When the feedback
current disappears, a current source charges a capacitor
connected to Pin 8. When the voltage on this pin
reaches a certain level, all pulses are shut off and the
VCC voltage is pulled down below the VCC(min) level.
This protection is latched on the A version (the
controller must be shut down and restart to resume
normal operation), and auto−recovery on Version B (if
the fault goes away, the controller automatically
resumes operation).

APPLICATION INFORMATION
The Negative Sensing Technique
current increases. When the result reaches the threshold
voltage (around 20 mV), the comparator toggles and resets
the main latch. Figure 3 details how the voltage moves on the
CS pin on a 1351 demoboard, whereas Figure 7 zooms on
the sense resistor voltage captured by respect to the
controller ground.
The choice of these two elements is simple. Suppose you
want to develop 1 V across the sense resistor. You would
select the offset resistor via the following formula:
Standard current−mode controllers use the positive
sensing technique as portrayed by Figure 4. In this
technique, the controller detects a positive voltage drop
across the sense resistor, representative of the flowing
current. Unfortunately, this solution suffers from the
following drawbacks:
1. Difficulties to precisely adjust the peak current. If
1 V is the maximum sense level, you must
combine low valued resistors to reach the exact
limit you need.
2. The voltage developed across the sense resistor
subtracts from the gate voltage. If your VCC(min)
is 7 V, then the actual gate voltage at the end of the
on time, assuming a full load condition, is 7 V –
1 V = 6 V.
3. The current in the sense resistor also includes the
Ciss current at turn−on. This narrow spike often
disturbs the controller and requires adequate
treatment through a LEB circuitry for instance.
Figure 5 represents the negative current sense technique.
In this simplified example, the source directly connects to
the controller ground. Hence, if VCC is 8 V, the effective
gate−source voltage is very close to 8 V: no sense resistor
drop. How does the controller detect a negative excursion?
In lack of primary current, the voltage on the CS pin reaches
Roffset x ICS. Let us assume that these elements lead to have
1 V on this pin. Now, when the power MOSFET activates,
the current flows via the sense resistor and develop a
negative voltage by respect to the controller ground. The
voltage seen on the CS is nothing else than a positive voltage
(Roffset x ICS) plus the voltage across the sense resistor which
is negative. Thus, the CS pin voltage goes low as the primary

(eq. 2)
Due to the circuit flexibility, suppose you only have access
to a 0.33 W resistor. In that case, the peak current will exceed
the 2 A limit. Why not changing the offset resistor value
then? To obtain 2 A from the 0.33 W resistor, you should
develop:
The offset resistor is thus derived by:

If reducing the sense resistor is of good practice to
improve the efficiency, we recommend to adopt sense values
between 0.5 V and 1 V. Reducing the voltage below these
levels will degrade the noise immunity.

Thus, to control the delivered power, we can either play on
the peak current setpoint (classical peak current mode
control) or adjust the switching frequency by keeping the
peak current constant. We have chosen the second scheme
in this NCP1351 for simplicity and ease of implementation.
Thus, once the peak current has been selected, the feedback
loop automatically reacts to satisfy Equations 5 and 6. The
external capacitor that you connect between pin 2 and
ground (again, place it close to the controller pins) sets the
maximum frequency you authorize the converter to operate
up to. Normalized values for this timing capacitor are
270 pF (65 kHz) and 180 pF (100 kHz). Of course, different
combinations can be tried to design at higher or lower
frequencies. Please note that changing the capacitor value
does not affect the operating frequency at nominal line and
load conditions. Again, the operating frequency is selected
by the feedback loop to cope with Equations 5 and 6
definitions.
The feedback current controls the frequency by changing
the timing capacitor end of charge voltage, as illustrated by
Figure 8.
Below are a few recommendations concerning the wiring
and the PCB layout:
• A small 22 pF capacitor can be placed between the CS
pin and the controller ground. Place it as close as
possible to the controller.
• Do not place the offset resistor in the vicinity of the
sense element, but put it close to the controller as well.
• Regulation by frequency
• The power a flyback converter can deliver relates to the
energy stored in the primary inductance Lp and obeys
the following formulae:
Pout_DCM +

(eq. 5)
Pout_CCM + 12 LP(Ipeak2 * Ivalley2)FSW h

Where:

Ipeak is the peak inductor current reached at the on time
termination
Ivalley represents the current at the end of the off time. It
equals zero in DCM.
FSW is the operating frequency.

Delays The Restart Time

In lack of feedback current, for instance during a startup
sequence or a short circuit, the oscillator frequency is pushed
to the limit set by the timing capacitor. In this case, the lower
threshold imposed to the timing capacitor is blocked to
500 mV (parameter Vfault). This is the maximum power the
converter can deliver. To the opposite, as you inject current
via the optocoupler in the feedback pin, the off time expands
and the power delivery reduces. The maximum threshold
level in standby conditions is set to 6 V.
Figure 11. A Low−Cost PNP Improves the Drive
Capability at Turn−off
Over power protection can be done without power
dissipation penalty by arranging components around the
auxiliary as suggested by Figure 11. On this schematic, the
diode anode swings negative during the on time. This
negative level directly depends on the input voltage and
offsets the current sense pin via the ROPP resistor. A small
integration is necessary to reduce the OPP action in light load
conditions. However, depending on the compensation level,
the standby power can be affected. Again, the resistor ROPP
should be placed as close as possible to the CS pin. The
22 pF can help to circumvent any picked−up noise and D2
prevents the positive loading of the 270 pF capacitor during
the flyback swing. We have put a typical 100 kW OPP
resistor but a tweak is required depending on your
application.
Over Power Protection
As any universal−mains operated converters, the output
power slightly increases at high line compared to what the
power supply can deliver at low line. This discrepancy
relates to the propagation delay from the point where the
peak is detected to the MOSFET gate effective pulldown. It
naturally includes the controller reaction time, but also the
driver capability to pull the gate down. If the MOSFET Qg
is too large, then this parameter will greatly affect your
overpower parameter. Sometimes, the small PNP can help
and we recommend it if you use a large Qg MOSFET:

derive:
Suppose you would need to reduce the peak current by
15% in high−line conditions. The turn−ratio between the
auxiliary winding and the primary winding is Naux. Assume
its value is 0.15. Thus, the voltage on Daux cathode swings
negative during the on time to a level of:
Vaux_peak + −Vin_max Naux + −375

The small RC network made of R1 and C3, purposely limits

Feedback
Unlike other controllers, the feedback in the NCP1351
works in current rather than voltage. Figure 13 details the
internal circuitry of this particular section. The optocoupler
injects a current into the FB pin in relationship with the
input/output conditions.

Figure 13. The Feedback Section Inside the NCP1351
The FB pin can actually be seen as a diode, forward biased
by the optocoupler current. The feedback current, IFB on
Figure 13, enter an internal 45 kW resistor which develops
a voltage. This voltage becomes the variable threshold point
for the capacitor charge, as indicated by Figure 8. Thus, in
lack of feedback current (start−up or short−circuit), there is
no voltage across the 45 kW and the series offset of 500 mV
clamps the capacitor swing. If a 270 pF capacitor is used, the
maximum switching frequency is 65 kHz.
Folding the frequency back at a rather high peak current
can obviously generate audible noise. For this reason, the
NCP1351 uses a patented current compression technique
which reduces the peak current in lighter load conditions. By
design, the peak current changes from 100% of its full load
value, to 30% of this value in light load conditions. This is
the block placed on the lower left corner of Figure 13. In full
load conditions, the feedback current is weak and all the
current flowing through the external offset resistor is:
ICS + ICS_min ) Idif + ICS_max * ICS_min
+ ICS_max
(eq. 12)
As the load goes lighter, the feedback current increases and
starts to steal current away from the generators. Equation 12
can thus be updated by:
ICS + ICS_max * kIFB
(eq. 13)
Equation 13 testifies for the current reduction on the offset
generator, k represents an internal coefficient. When the
feedback current equals Idif, the offset becomes:

Fault detection
FB Current
The fault detection circuitry permanently observes the FB
current, as shown on Figure 17. When the feedback current
decreases below 40 mA, an external capacitor is charged by
a 11.7 mA source. As the voltage rises, a comparator detects
when it reaches 5 V typical. Upon detection, there can be
two different scenarios:
1. A version: the circuit immediately latches−off and
remains latched until the voltage on the current
into the VCC pin drops below a few μA. The latch
is made via an internal SCR circuit who holds Vcc
to around 6 V when fired. As long as the current
flowing through this latch is above a few mA, the
circuit remains locked−out. When the user unplugs
the converter, the VCC current falls down and
resets the latch.
2. B version: the circuit stops its output pulses and
the auxiliary VCC decreases via the controller own
consumption (≈600 mA). When it touches the
VCC(min) point, the circuit re−starts and attempts to
crank the power supply. If it fails again, an hiccup
mode takes place (Figure 13).
Figure 14. The NCP1351 Peak Current Compression
Scheme
Looking to the data−sheet specifications, the maximum
peak current is set to 270 mA whereas the compressed
current goes down to 70 mA. The NCP1351 can thus be
considered as a multi operating mode circuit:
• Real fixed peak current / variable frequency mode for
FB current below 60 mA.
• Then maximum peak current decreases to ICS,min over a
narrow linear range of IFB (to avoid instability created
by a discrete jump from ICS,max to ICS,min), between
60 mA and 80 mA.
• Then if IFB keeps on increasing, in a real fixed peak
current/variable frequency mode with reduced peak
current
For biasing purposes and noise immunity improvements,
we recommend to wire a pulldown resistor and a capacitor
in parallel from the FB pin to the controller ground
(Figure 15). Please keep these elements as close as possible
to the circuit. The pulldown resistor increases the
optocoupler current but also plays a role in standby. We
found that a 2.5 kW resistor was giving a good tradeoff
between optocoupler operating current (internal pole
position) and standby power.

Latch Input
The NCP1351 features a patented circuitry which
prevents the FB input to be of low impedance before the Vcc
reaches the VCCON level. As such, the circuit can work in
a primary regulation scheme. Capitalizing on this typical
option, Figure 18 shows how to insert a zener diode in series
with the optocoupler emitter pin. In that way, the current
biases the zener diode and offers a nice reference voltage,
appearing at the loop closure (e.g. when the output reaches

Figure 19. You can either directly observe the VCC level or add a small RC filter to reduce the leakage inductance
contribution. The best is to directly sense the output voltage and reacts if it runs away, as offered on the right
side.

Solving for N gives:
A Universal Mains Power Supply Designing a
Switch−Mode Power Supply using the NCP1351 does not
differ from a fixed frequency design. What changes,
however, is the regulation method via frequency variations.
In other words, all the calculations must be carried at the
lowest line input where the frequency will hit the maximum
value set by the Ct capacitor. Let us follow the steps:
Vin min = 100 Vdc (bulk valley in low−line conditions)
Vin max = 375 Vdc
Vout = 19 V
Iout = 3 A

The MOSFET BVdss actually dictates the amount
of reflected voltage you need. If we consider a
600 V MOSFET and a 15% derating factor, we
must limit the maximum drain voltage to:

Based on the above level, we decide to adopt a headroom
between the reflected voltage and the clamp level of 50 V. If
this headroom is too small, a high dissipation will occur on
the RDC clamp network and efficiency will suffer. A
leakage inductance of around 1% of the magnetizing value
should give good results with this choice (kc = 1.6). The turn
ratio between primary and secondary is simply:

In this equation, the CCM duty−cycle does not exceed
50%. The design should thus be free of subharmonic
oscillations in steady−state conditions. If necessary,
negative ramp compensation is however feasible by the
auxiliary winding.
3. To obtain the primary inductance, we can use the
following equation which expresses the inductance
in relationship to a coefficient k. This coefficient
actually dictates the depth of the CCM operation.
If it goes to 2, then we are in DCM.

• Small K: deep CCM, implying a large primary
inductance, a low bandwidth and a large leakage
inductance.
• Large K: approaching BCM where the RMS losses are
the worse, but smaller inductance, leading to a better
leakage inductance.

Figure 21. The 19 V Adapter Featuring the Elements Calculated Above
On this circuit, the VCC capacitor is split in two parts, a
low value capacitor (4.7 mF) and a bigger one (100 mF). The
4.7 mF capacitor ensures a low startup time, whereas the
second capacitor keeps the VCC alive in standby mode
(where the switching frequency can be low). Due to D6, it
does not hamper startup time.
Another benefit of the variable frequency lies in the low
ripple operation at no−load. This is what confirms
Figure 23.
Finally, the power supply was tested for its transient
response, from 100 mA to 3 A, high and low line, with a
slew−rate of 1 A/ms (Figure 25). Results appear in
Figures 25 and 26 and confirm the stability of the board.
Application Results
We assembled a board with component values close to
what is described on Figure 21. Here are the obtained
results:
Pin @ no−load = 152 mW, Vin = 230 Vac
Pin @ no−load = 164 mW, Vin = 100 Vac
The efficiency stays flat to above 80%, and keeps good
even at low output levels. It clearly shows the benefit of the
variable frequency implemented in the NCP1351.
