Those are most suited for a switching power supply of relatively small capacity. Less frequently used functions are removed, and only the necessary minimum functions are incorporated, so that they are compact and very easy to use. Moreover, the internal settings are incorporated as much as possible, thus cost down can be realized by decreasing the peripheral parts. 4 3 2 2.54 ■ Overview 1 1.0±0.25 2.7±0.25 4.3±0.3 +0.1 0.3 –0.05 1.4±0.25 1.35±0.25 SIP009-P-0000D ■ Features AN8022SB Unit: mm 6.50±0.30 +0.10 0.15 -0.05 4.30±0.30 1.00±0.20 0.50±0.05 8 0.35±0.10 Seating plane 0.65 1.50±0.20 1 (0.45) 0.80 6.30±0.30 9 16 0.10±0.10 • It operates at a control frequency up to 700 kHz, realizing the output rise time of 35 ns and the output fall time of 25 ns. • Pre-start operating current is as small as 70 µA (typical) so that it is possible to miniaturize the start resistor. • Output block employs totem pole method.

Start/stop circuit block • Start mechanism When AC voltage is applied and the supply voltage reaches the start voltage through the current from the start resistor, the IC starts operation. Then the power MOSFET driving starts. Thereby, bias is generated in the transformer and the supply voltage is given from the bias coil to the IC. (This is point a in figure 1.) During the period from the time when the start voltage is reached and the voltage is generated in the bias coil to the time when the IC is provided with a sufficient supply voltage, the supply voltage of the IC is supplied by the capacitor (C1) connected to VCC. Since the supply voltage continuously decreases during the above period (area b in figure 1), the power supply is not able to start (state c in figure 1), if the stop voltage of the IC is reached before the sufficient supply voltage is supplied from the bias coil.

A large voltage difference is set between start and stop (5.0 V typical), so that it is easier to select the start resistor and the capacitor to be connected to VCC . Note) To start up the IC operation, the startup current which is a pre-start current plus a circuit drive current is necessary. Set the resistance value so as to supply a startup current of 450 µA. 7 AN8022L, AN8022SB Voltage Regulators ■ Application Notes (continued) [2] Operation descriptions (continued) 2. Oscillation circuit The PWM is an abbreviation of Pulse Width Modulation. In this IC, a smaller voltage between the voltage level which is converted from the current input to IFB terminal and dead-time control level which is fixed internally is compared with the internal triangular oscillation level through PWM comparator, and optimal duty is determined, and then it is output via output driving stage. • Triangular wave oscillation The triangular waveform oscillation is performed through constant current charge/constant current discharge to/from the external capacitor connected to the CT. The ratio of the charge current to the discharge current is set inside, and the current value is determined by the external resistor connected to the RT terminal. The RT terminal voltage is determined by the level which is a resistor-divided voltage of the internal reference voltage (which is determined by Zener diode and VBE of NPN transistor, and temperaturecompensated). For this reason, the effect of fluctuation with temperature and dispersion is small. By the use of a temperature-compensated external resistor, the effect of the fluctuation with temperature and dispersion on the charge and discharge current value will be reduced further. Moreover, since the upper/lower voltage level of the triangular wave oscillation is given by the resistordivider internal reference voltage, the effect of fluctuation with temperature and dispersion has been suppressed. Moreover, since the upper/lower voltage level of the triangular wave oscillation is given by the resistordivision of internal reference voltage, the effect of fluctuation with temperature and dispersion has been suppressed. As described above, the sufficient consideration has been given to the effect of fluctuation with temperature and dispersion in the design of the triangular wave oscillation frequency. (Reference calculation of oscillation frequency) 5 fOSC = [Hz] 6 × CT × RT 3. Overvoltage protection circuit (OVP) OVP is an abbreviation of Over Voltage Protection. It refers to a self-diagnosis function, which stops the power supply to protect the load when the power supply output generates abnormal voltage higher than the normal output voltage due to failure of the control system or an abnormal voltage applied from the outside (figure 2 and figure 3). Basically, it is set to monitor the voltage of supply voltage VCC terminal of the IC. Normally, the VCC voltage is supplied from the transformer drive coil. Since this voltage is proportional to the secondary side output voltage, it still operates even when the secondary side output has over voltage. 1) When the voltage input to the OVP terminal exceeds the threshold voltage (6.0 V typical) as the result of power supply output abnormality, the protective circuit shuts down the internal reference voltage of the IC to stop all of the controls and keeps this stop condition. 2) The OVP is released (reset) under the following conditions: • Decreasing the supply voltage (VCC < 8.4 V typical: OVP release supply voltage) The discharge circuit is incorporated so that the electric charge which is charged in the capacitor connected to the OVP terminal can be discharged with the constant current of 5 µA (typical) for the next re-start.

Figure 3 • Operating supply current characteristics While the OVP is operating, the decrease of the supply current causes the rise of the supply voltage VCC , and in the worst case, the guaranteed breakdown voltage of the IC (35 V) can be exceeded. In order to prevent the rise of supply voltage, the IC is provided with such characteristics as the supply current rises in the constant resistance mode. This characteristics ensure that the OVP can not be released unless the AC input is cut, if the supply voltage VCC under OVP operation is stabilized over the OVP release supply voltage (which depends on start resistor selection). (Refer to figure 4.) 9 AN8022L, AN8022SB Voltage Regulators ■ Application Notes (continued) [2] Operation descriptions (continued) 3. Over voltage protection circuit (OVP) (continued) The current supply from the start resistor continues as long as the voltage of the power supply input (AC) is given. After AC rectification Start resistor R1 After OVP starts operation, since the output is stopped, this bias coil does not supply current. VCC * Select the resistance value so that the following relationship can be kept by current supply from the start resistor: VCC > VCC−OVP VOUT GND ICC At VCC-OVP (voltage under which OVP is released), the operating current is temporarily increased. This prevents VCC from exceeding its breakdown voltage through the current from above mentioned. VCC− OVP VCC Figure 4 4. Overcurrent protection circuit (OVP) The overcurrent of the power supply output is proportional to the value of current flowing in the main switch in the primary side (power MOSFET). Taking advantage of the above fact, by regulating the upper limit of the pulse current flowing in the main switch, the circuit protects the parts which are easily damaged by the overcurrent. For the current flowing in the main switch, the current detection is achieved by monitoring the voltage in both ends of the low resistance, which is connected between the source of power MOSFET and the power supply GND. When the power MOSFET is turned on and the threshold voltage of CLM (Current Limit) is detected, the overcurrent protection circuit controls so that current can not flow further by turning off the output to turn off the power MOSFET. The threshold voltage of CLM is approximately −200 mV (typical) under Ta = 25°C with respect to GND of the IC. This control is repeated for each cycle. Once the overcurrent is detected, the off condition is kept during that cycle, and it can not be turned on until the next cycle. The overcurrent detection method described in the above is called pulse-by-pulse overcurrent detection. (Refer to figure 6.) The R4, R5 and C3 in figure 5 construct the filter circuit, which functions to remove the noise generated by the parasitic capacitance which is equivalently formed at turning-on of the power MOSFET. GND R4 R5 C3 R3 CLM Figure 5 • Notes on the detection level precision This overcurrent detection level is reflected on the operating current level of the power supply overcurrent protection. Therefore, if this detection level fluctuates with temperature or dispersion, the operating current level of the power supply overcurrent protection also fluctuates. Since such level fluctuation increases the necessity of withstand capability for the parts to be used and in the worst case it means the cause of destruction, the accuracy of detection level is raised as much as possible for these ICs, the AN8022L and AN8022SB. 10 Voltage Regulators AN8022L, AN8022SB ■ Application Notes (continued) [2] Operation descriptions (continued) 4.

Pulse-by-pulse overcurrent detector operation waveform 5. Soft start At start of the power supply, the capacitor connected to the power supply output causes the power supply to rise under overload condition. Under this condition, the power supply output is low. For the normal PWM control, attempt is made to limit the current by the pulse-by-pulse over current protection so that the power supply output could rise at maximum duty. However, pulses can not be made down to zero due to circuit delay. As a result, large current flows in the mains switch (the power MOSFET) or in the diode in the secondary side, and in the worst case these parts are damaged. For this reason, soft start function in which the power supply output does not rise with maximum duty but rise with gradually widening duty from the minimum one (0%) at the power supply start is adopted. The use of this function requires more rise time of power supply output. However, it can extend the service life of parts and raise the reliability of the power supply. The soft start (SS) terminal is connected to the PWM input (hereinafter its voltage is referred to as VSS). In the PWM, three voltages are input: the voltage to which the current feedback level is converted (hereinafter referred to as VFB), the voltage determining the maximum duty (hereinafter referred to as VDTC). This voltage is determined inside the IC), and the triangular wave oscillation voltage (hereinafter referred to as VCT). VSS , VFB and VDTC are input in the non-reverse input (+) of the PWM comparator and VCT is input in the reverse input (−). Among the three signals of the non-reverse input, the lowest one is selected for input to the PWM comparator. The external capacitor (hereinafter referred to as CSS) is connected to the SS terminal. In the pre-start condition, this capacitor is set to be sufficiently discharged by the transistor inside the IC. When the supply voltage exceeds the start voltage to start the IC operation, charging is started in the CSS by the constant current source inside the IC. Therefore VSS gradually rises from 0 V. 11 AN8022L, AN8022SB Voltage Regulators ■ Application Notes (continued) [2] Operation descriptions (continued) 5. Soft start (continued) On the other hand, the VFB has high voltage because the power supply output is low. And, the VDTC is positioned at the medium voltage of the triangular wave oscillation waveform as constant voltage. Therefore, at operation starting, the VSS is input to the PWM comparator as the lowest voltage and is compared with the triangular wave oscillation waveform. As the result, the output of the IC generates the pulse of duty which gradually becomes large with the rise of VSS from the minimum duty. (Refer to figure 7.) However, when the VSS exceeds the VFB or VDTC , the duty of the output pulse depends on the VFB or VDTC . The soft start function works only up to that point and after that the normal control comes. VFB VCT VCT VSS VSS VDTC VFB VFB VDTC 0V VOUT 0V Figure 7. Soft start operation waveform 6. Timer latch When the short-circuit or overload of the power supply output continues for a certain period, the pulse-by-pulse overcurrent protection is not sufficient for protection of the transformer, Fast Recovery Diode (FRD), Schottky Diode in the secondary side and the power MOSFET. For this reason, the timer latch function is employed, which stops the power supply by hitting the OVP, when the overcurrent condition continues for a certain period. The short-circuit or overload of the power supply output is monitored as the decrease of the power supply output (at this time the pulse-by-pulse overcurrent protector is in the operating condition). The decrease of the power supply output is detected as the decrease of current amount from the current feedback terminal of the normal PWM control. When the decrease amount of this current exceeds a certain value, the comparator inside the IC reverses to flow the constant current to the TIM/OVP terminal. The external capacitor is connected to the TIM/OVP terminal. Electric charges are accumulated in this capacitor to rise the OVP terminal voltage. When the OVP operating threshold voltage (6 V typical) is reached, the OVP starts operation to stop the IC and keeps this stop condition. (Refer to Figure 8.) • Timer period The period from the time when an error of the power supply output is detected to the time when the OVP starts operation (hereinafter referred to as timer period) should be longer than the rise time of the power supply. Since at operation start the IC is in the same condition as the overload or output short-circuit condition, if the timer period is shorter, the power supply works latch and can not start. Therefore, the IC is designed so that the timer period can be set to any desired value with capacitance value of the external capacitor connected to the TIM/OVP terminal. However, particular care should be taken, because too large value of this capacitance may cause the breakdown of the power supply. 12 Voltage Regulators AN8022L, AN8022SB ■ Application Notes (continued) [2] Operation descriptions (continued) 6.

Output Block The AN8022L and AN8022SB employ the output circuit using the totem pole (push-pull) method, by which sink/source of current is performed with the NPN transistor as shown in figure 9, in order to drive the power MOSFET at high Schottky barrier speed. diode The maximum sink/source current is ±0.1 A (DC) and ±1.0 A (peak). Even when the supply voltage VCC is under the stop voltage, the sink function works to ensure that the power MOSFET Figure 9 be turned off. For the current capability, the peak current is major concern, and the particularly large current is not required normally: The power MOSFET which works as load on the output is capacitive load. Therefore, in order to drive it at high speed, the large peak current is required. However, after charge/discharge particularly large current is not required to keep that condition. For the AN8022L or AN8022SB, capacitance value of the power MOSFET used is taking into account, and the capability of peak value ±1 A is ensured. The parasitic LC of the power MOSFET may produce ringing which makes the output pin go under the GND potential. When the decrease of the output pin becomes larger than the voltage drop of diode and its voltage becomes negative, the parasitic diode consisting of the substrate and collector of the output NPN turns on. This phenomenon may cause the malfunction of the device. In such a case, the Schottky barrier diode should be connected between the output and GND. 13 AN8022L, AN8022SB Voltage Regulators ■ Application Notes (continued) [3] Design reference data 1.

Setting the timer latch period The timer latch period t, the period from the time when an abnormality of the power supply output is detected to the time when the overvoltage protector is activated, can be set to any desired value by using the external capacitance CTIM (C2) based on the following equation: TIM/OVP = Capacitor terminal for timer latch period setting [Reference calculated value] C2 · VTIM t= [s] ITIM VTIM = 6 V (typ.): Over voltage protection threshold value ITIM = Timer latch charge current (Varies depending on R7 value, at R7 = 19 kΩ) ITIM = 30 µA (typ.) 3. Setting the soft start time • Soft start charge current Most of the conventional ICs are charged by using the internal resistor from the internal reference voltage, or by using the constant current source which is determined by the internal resistance. However, the above charging method suffers from problems on dispersion or temperature change and can not ensure the soft start time. For this reason, the AN8022L and AN8022SB use the following method: The soft start charge current is given from the constant current source used in the internal triangular wave oscillation circuit. In addition, the above constant current source is stable with respect to dispersion or fluctuation with temperature because it has the current value which is determined by the external resistor and the terminal voltage given from the resistor-divider of internal reference voltage. However, for this method, particular care should be taken on the application: Since each time the setting of oscillation frequency is changed, the soft start constant should be also changed.

Start circuit The start time from the power-on to the actual start can be set by using the values of R1 and C1. Too long start time makes the power supply to rise slowly. [Setting the start resistor R1] 1) When the overload shutting-off condition is kept, the shut-off bias current (OVP operating bias current) of the AN8022L and AN8022SB is 550 µA (typical) at VCC = 10 V. Therefore, set the R1 as shown in the following equation : VIN − 10 V R1 < 550 µA 2) When automatic reset is desired after the overload shut-off, the standby current of the AN8022L and AN8022SB is 70 µA (typical) at VCC = 12 V. Therefore, set the R1 as shown in the following equation : VIN − 10 V VIN − 12 V < R1 < 550 µA 70 µA [Setting the C1] When the AN8022L or AN8022SB is started, the operating supply current of 7.5 mA is required at VCC = 18 V. The current should be supplied with the discharge current of the C1 during the period from the soft start time up to the time when the supply current is supplied from the auxiliary bias coil. Therefore, set the C1 as shown in the following equation: (VCC(START) − VCC(STOP)) · C1 > Soft start time 7.5 mA 15 AN8022L, AN8022SB Voltage Regulators ■ Application Circuit Example R8 C1 TIM/ 8 OVP 6 VOUT C2 DZ1 Start-up resistor R1 VIN R2 R3 DI FRD Photocoupler FRD Filter 2 RT AC input C4 C6 3 CT C5 1 SS R6 9 IFB R7 AN8022L R4 R5 4 CLM VCC 7 C3 5 GND 16
