BOK
Brownout Detect
with Hysteresis
This is the inverting input of the brownout detect comparator. The brownout detect
comparator has a detect threshold voltage of 1.21 V. This pin senses the voltage of the
bulk capacitor through a resistor divider network to determine the brownout event. The
hysteresis band is provided by a 45 A current flows out of this pin to the resistor
network.

Gate Driver Output
This is a high current totem pole output. The PWM driving control is provided by this pin.
The current and slew rate capability of this pin are suitable to drive a Power MOSFET.

VCC
Positive Supply to IC
This pin is the positive supply of the IC. The driver output gets disabled when the voltage
becomes higher than 25 V and the operating range is between 10 V and 25 V. The
startup voltage is set at 15 V.

SS/DMAX
Soft−Start Time
Programming and
Maximum Duty Cycle
Selection
This is a multi−function pin. Soft−start effect is provided during startup with a capacitor
connected to this pin. After soft−start period elapsed, the capacitor is used for timing
control to determine output overload. If only a capacitor is connected to this pin, its final
voltage is 4.3 V and maximum turn−on duty cycle DMAX is set at 82%. Connect a
resistor in parallel with the capacitor can alter the final voltage of this pin. 48% DMAX is
selected if this pin stays at 2.1 V to 2.8 V after soft−start period.
During output on–time of the power switch, this pin receives a voltage proportional to
power switch current set by the current sensing resistor. The information is utilized to
terminate output switch conduction by PWM action or overcurrent limit circuitry.
Connecting a capacitor from CT pin to ground programs the internal oscillator frequency.
The oscillator can operate up to 200 kHz.

DETAILED OPERATING DESCRIPTIONS
INTRODUCTION
switching frequency can be selected by choosing proper
value of timing capacitor, CT. The CT pin waveform is
shown in Figure 32.
The NCP1212 implements a standard current mode
architecture where the switch−off time is dictated by the
peak current setpoint. This device represents an ideal
candidate where low external part−count is the key system
requirement. Additionally, the device provides extensive
value−added functions, Soft−Start, Brownout Detect, etc.,
that can be applied to low−cost AC−DC adaptor
applications. The NCP1212 incorporates all the necessary
functions normally needed in UC384X based power supply
systems: Oscillator section, PWM Latch section, Current
Sense section, Brownout Detect protection, Soft−Start and
Maximum Duty Cycle Selection. With all those functions,
this device becomes a good alternative to UC384X that can
help to improve both performance and system cost. Also, the
innovative Maximum Duty Cycle Selection feature allows
the device applied to both forward and fly−back mode
configurations. Detailed functions of individual internal
blocks are described in below and a simplified functional
block diagram is shown in Figure 2.

Figure 32. CT Pin Waveform for Oscillator
PWM Latch Section
NCP1212 works in current mode. The power switch
current is converted to a positive voltage by inserting a
sensing resistor Rsense between the power switch source and
the ground. The power switch peak current is compared with
the level shifted control input voltage on a cycle−by−cycle
basis. Figure 27 illustrated the internal blocks of the
function. The PWM latch is initialized by the Oscillator set
signal and is terminated by the current sense comparator
when the current exceeds the value dictated by the control
input or current limit level. The current sense Comparator
Latch configuration used ensures that only a single pulse
appears at the output during any given oscillator cycle.

The oscillator frequency is programmed by the capacitor
connected to CT pin. The capacitor is charged by a constant
current source to 3.8 V and 2.5 V for 82% and 48%
maximum Duty Cycle condition respectively. Once the
selected voltage is reached, CT is then discharged by another
constant current source down to 1.0 V and this charging and
discharging action will carry on perpetually. Desirable

Current Sense Section
Thus the maximum allowable peak current is given by the
following equation:
The current sense pin, CS detects the voltage drop across
a current sensing resistor, Rsense connected in between the
power MOSFET and Ground. In most cases, a narrow spike
on the leading edge of the current waveform can be observed
and may cause the power supply to exhibit an instability
when the output is lightly loaded. The spike is due to the
power transformer inter−winding capacitance and output
rectifier recovery time which are unavoidable. NCP1212
provides a 300 ns Leading Edge Blanking block to shield off
the spike. With the Leading Edge Blanking function, the CS
pin is not sensitive to the power switch turn−on noise and
spikes, practically in most applications, no filtering network
is required.
In normal operation, voltage developed at the current
sense input is compared with the level shifted control input
voltage and an internal Current Limit Threshold, VCS. In
case the CS input exceeds the Current Limit Threshold,
which is 1.0 V (typ.) in NCP1212, the gate driver output will
be forced to turn off immediately.

Soft−Start and Maximum Duty Selection
NCP1212 includes an internal Soft−Start function to
simplify designer’s job hence make this device easy to use.
During the startup phase, a constant current source of 8.0 A
flows out of the SS/DMAX pin once VCC attains the
minimum startup voltage. The capacitor connected at
SS/DMAX pin is slowly charged up and the voltage
developed plus one diode drop, VSST is compared with the
saw−tooth waveform, CT from the internal oscillator as
shown in Figure 34. Whenever CT voltage is higher than
VSST, gate driver output will be turned off. Since VSST rises
slowly and it controls the output duty gradually increases as
shown in Figure 35. The minimum CT voltage is at 1.0 V,
hence there is no output before SS/DMAX pin attains about
0.4 V (1.0 V–1 diode drop). Soft−Start block will have no
effect to the PWM operation once VSST reaches 3.2 V.

Overload Detection
SS/DMAX pin is also used for the selection of maximum
turn on Duty Cycle. The oscillator circuit is designed to
operate in either 82% or 48% charging time that corresponds
to either 82% or 48% maximum PWM turn on Duty Cycle.
As discussed in the Oscillator Section, saw−tooth waveform
at CT pin is different for 82% and 48% maximum turn on
Duty Cycle and it is shown in Figure 32.
The final voltage at SS/DMAX pin determines the
maximum turn on Duty Cycle. If 82% maximum turn on
duty is desired, simply connect a capacitor from SS/DMAX
pin to ground as shown in Figure 36 and the final voltage on
the capacitor will be 5.0 V minus one diode drop (4.3 V).
During output overload or short circuit condition, the
PWM controller will pump as much energy as possible to the
secondary side and the power only limited by the
cycle−by−cycle current limit setting. Components in the
power supply circuit such as the power MOSFET and output
rectifier may be damaged by this continuous stress.
Theoretically, fly−back converter has inherent short circuit
protection provided that the PWM controller is supplied by
a fly−back auxiliary winding and it has UVLO function.
Unluckily, it is quite common that the supply will experience
very high leaky voltage spike that prevents the VCC voltage
to fall below UVLO level during short circuit.
NCP1212 is equipped with an integrated overload
detection mechanism, which is irrespective of auxiliary
winding voltage level. Overload shutdown is no longer
bothered by leakage spike hence a reliable overload
protection system can be easily constructed by NCP1212 for
both forward and fly−back configuration. Overload
detection block is shown in Figure 38. Overload condition
is signified by current sense voltage hitting the maximum
allowable voltage, 1.0 V. To avoid false trigger that may
happen during transient load changes, CSS starts to
discharge by 20 A (ISD−ISS). If overload condition
persists, VSST voltage level drops to 0.5 V and triggers the
overload shutdown. Overload shutdown is only enabled
after the soft−start period.
Due to the overload detection mechanism, it is
mandatory to connect a capacitor at the SS/DMAX pin.
Otherwise overload shutdown may be triggered during
startup phase.

For 48% maximum Duty Cycle selection, we need to

connecting a resistor in parallel with CSS as shown in

NCP1212 has a built−in comparator for brownout
detection as shown in Figure 39. Positive terminal of the
comparator is connected to a +1.21 V bandgap reference.
The IC is prohibited from switching until Brownout Detect
pin exceeds 1.21 V. Once the brownout detect threshold is
exceeded, 45 A flows out of the pin and the voltage at this
pin is further pushed up to provide hysteresis effect. The

Internal 5.0 V Regulator
Overvoltage Protection and Under Voltage Lockout
A low current 5.0 V regulator is available internally for
the device operation and reference voltages generation. This
voltage not accessible externally and is designed to operate
with no external bypass capacitor.
NCP1212 starts operation once VCC reaches 15 V.
Overvoltage Protection (OVP) will be triggered if VCC
exceeds 25 V and on the other hand, Under Voltage Lockout
(UVLO) will take place if VCC drops below 10 V. NCP1212
continues to draw 3.0 mA typical after overload or
overvoltage shutdown is triggered. If the startup resistance
connected to VCC pin is large enough such that VCC voltage
keeps on dropping after shutdown, NCP1212 will restart once
VCC drops below UVLO threshold. If the fault condition
persists, NCP1212 will enter hi−cup operation. In case system
latchoff is required in fault conditions, a smaller startup
resistance can be used to sustain the device operation.
NCP1212 will remain in shutdown mode as long as VCC is
maintained above UVLO threshold after fault is detected.
Totem Pole Output Driver
NCP1212 contains a single totem pole output stage that
was specifically designed for direct drive of power
MOSFETs. It is capable of up to 300 mA peak drive current
and has a typical rise time and fall time of 25 ns with 1.0 nF
load.

APPLICATION INFORMATION AND TYPICAL WAVEFORMS
The NCP1212 is an ideal choice for next generation
isolated fix switching frequency forward mode converters
that only need few external components to complete the
system. Converting your existing application from using
UC384X controllers to NCP1212 is easy and simple. In
below is a description on how to determine external
components value for a typical application example. For the
schematic of the application, please refer to Figure 1 in this
data sheet.
Finding the external component values can be broken
down into several steps as introduced below:
V1 is the Upper Threshold Voltage in the oscillator
block and which is effectively controlling the PWM
maximum Duty Cycle at gate driver output.
Soft−Start block will have no effect to the PWM
operation once SS/DMAX pin voltage reaches this
threshold. This threshold voltage is 2.5 V with 48%
maximum Duty Cycle;
1. Select the maximum Duty Cycle for forward mode
operation and calculate the Soft−Start time.
For example, the required Soft−Start time is 50 ms,
the timing capacitor, CSS can be calculated as:
V2 is about 0.4 V (1.0 V minus one diode drop)
which is the Lower Voltage Threshold for the PWM
operation. There will be no PWM gate driver output
before SS/DMAX pin voltage attains this threshold.
Select the system, operate in forward mode with
82% maximum Duty Cycle. Only a capacitor is
required at SS/DMAX pin and the Soft−Start time is
determined by the capacitor, CSS. Its value is given
by the equation below:
CSS CSS 8 A 50 ms
0.182 F
2.5 V 0.4 V
In this case, a 0.22 F capacitor is used for this
application and the Soft−Start time is calculated as
57.75 ms. The charging waveform at SS/DMAX pin
is shown in Figure 40. From the captured waveform,
the charge time from 0 V to 4.0 V is 115.2 ms and for
the voltage charging up to 2.5 V, i.e. hitting the
Upper Threshold Voltage, the elapsed time is about
70 ms that matched with the theoretical calculation
closely.

Overload condition is signified by current sense input
voltage hitting the Maximum Current Sense Threshold,
VCS. To avoid false trigger that may happen during transient
load change, CSS starts to discharge by an internal current
source of 20 A, ISD−ISS and the overload protection will
only be issued until the voltage at SS/DMAX pin falls below
0.5 V. The discharging time, TDIS for 0.22 F Soft−Start
capacitor is given by:
TDIS where:
CSS is the Soft−Start timing capacitor;
Vref is the internal reference voltage, 5.0 V typical;
VD is the internal diode forward voltage on between the
reference voltage and SS/DMAX pin in IC internal, is 0.6 V
typical;
VOL is the overload threshold voltage. Refer to Figure 39

voltage is 0.5 V typical;

measured as 36 ms from Figure 41. By interpolation,
discharging time can be estimated as about 41.3 ms when
output is overload which agreed with the calculated result.

sensing resistor is also small for high power
applications, the current sense feedback voltage will
be much smaller than 0.1 V. Consequently, the
control will force to acquire maximum Duty Cycle
operation and the output will increase without
control.
Experimental results for the Brownout action were shown
in Figure 42. From the captured waveforms, it can be noted
that the Brownout Input Threshold Voltage is 1.21 V and
Brownout Hysteresis Voltage is 1.36 V at BOK pin.
4. Improving Light Load and No Load Regulation for
High Power Applications
In order to improve the poor regulation at light load,
a small circuit is added as shown in Figure 43. With
the additional circuitry, when VFB falls below 0.1 V,
Q2 will drive additional offset current to CS pin and
modify the current sensing voltage, VCS. For VFB
higher than 0.1 V at normal load operation, Q2 will
be turned off due to limited Vbe.
For high power applications, limited by the dynamic
range of the control circuitry, i.e. the control
feedback is limited by the swing of the optocoupler.
When VFB reaches about 0.1 V at light load
conditions, it no longer has the means to further
reduce that voltage because of the saturation of the
optocoupler. At light load or no load conditions, the
primary current is very small and as the current
