This combination IC integrates power factor correction (PFC) and
quasi−resonant flyback functionality necessary to implement a
compact and highly efficient Switched Mode Power Supply for an
adapter application.
The PFC stage exhibits near−unity power factor while operating in a
Critical Conduction Mode (CrM) with a maximum frequency clamp.
The circuit incorporates all the features necessary for building a robust
and compact PFC stage while minimizing the number of external
components.
The quasi−resonant current−mode flyback stage features a
proprietary valley−lockout circuitry, ensuring stable valley switching.
This system works down to the 4th valley and toggles to a frequency
foldback mode with a minimum frequency clamp beyond the 4th
valley to eliminate audible noise. Skip mode operation allows
excellent efficiency in light load conditions while consuming very low
standby power consumption.

BO/X2
4
Performs brown−out detection for the whole IC and it is also used to discharge the input filter capacitors
and detect the line voltage range.
Removed for creepage distance.
5
PControl
Output of the PFC transconductance error amplifier. A compensation network is connected between this
pin and ground to set the loop bandwidth.
6
PONOFF
A resistor between this pin and ground sets the PFC turn off threshold. The voltage on this pin is compared to an internal voltage signal proportional to the output power. The PFC disable threshold is determined by the resistor on this pin and the internal pull–up current source, IPONOFF.
7
QCT
An external capacitor sets the frequency in VCO mode for the QR flyback controller.
8
Fault
The controller enters fault mode if the voltage of this pin is pulled above or below the fault thresholds. A
precise pull up current source allows direct interface with an NTC thermistor. Fault detection triggers a
latch or auto−recovery depending on device option.

Power savings mode (PSM) control and timer adjust. Compatible with an optocoupler for secondary control of PSM. The device enters PSM if the voltage on this pin exceeds the PSM threshold, VPS_in. A capacitor between this pin and GND sets the delay time before the controller enters power savings mode.
Once the controller enters power savings mode the IC is disabled and the current consumption is reduced to a maximum of 70 mA. The input filter capacitor discharge function is available while in power
savings mode. The controller is enabled once VPSTimer drops below VPS_out.
Feedback input for the QR Flyback controller. Allows direct connection to an optocoupler.
Input to the demagnetization detection comparator for the QR Flyback controller. Also used to set the
overpower compensation.
Input to the cycle−by−cycle current limit comparator for the PFC section. Also used to perform the demagnetization detection for the PFC controller.
Ground reference.
Low voltage PFC feedback input. An external resistor divider is used to sense the PFC bulk voltage. The
divider low side resistor connects to this pin. This voltage is compared to an internal reference. The reference voltage is 2.5 V at low line and 4 V at high line. An internal high−voltage switch disconnects the low
side resistor from the high side resistor chain when the PFC is disabled in order to reduce input power.
Removed for creepage distance.
PFBHV
High voltage PFC feedback input. An external resistor divider is used to sense the PFC bulk voltage. The
divider high side resistor chain from the PFC bulk voltage connects to this pin. An internal high−voltage
switch disconnects the high side resistor chain from the low side resistor when the PFC is disabled in
order to reduce input power.

Stresses exceeding those listed in the Maximum Ratings table may damage the device. If any of these limits are exceeded, device functionality
should not be assumed, damage may occur and reliability may be affected.
1. VPCS/PZCD(MAX) is the maximum voltage of the pin shown in the electrical table. When the voltage on this pin exceeds 5 V, the pin sinks
a current equal to (VPCS/PZCD − 5 V) / (2 kW). A VPSC/PZCD of 7 V generates a sink current of approximately 1 mA.
2. Maximum driver voltage is limited by the driver clamp voltage, VXDRV(high), when VCC exceeds the driver clamp voltage. Otherwise, the
maximum driver voltage is VCC.
3. Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which damage to the device may occur. Exposure to these conditions or conditions beyond
those indicated may adversely affect device reliability. Functional operation under absolute maximum–rated conditions is not implied.
Functional operation should be restricted to the Recommended Operating Conditions.
4. This device contains Latch−Up protection and exceeds ± 100 mA per JEDEC Standard JESD78.
5. Low Conductivity Board. As mounted on 80 x 100 x 1.5 mm FR4 substrate with a single layer of 50 mm2 of 2 oz copper traces and heat
spreading area. As specified for a JEDEC51−1 conductivity test PCB. Test conditions were under natural convection of zero air flow.
6. Pins 1, 3, and 20 are rated to the maximum voltage of the part, or 700 V.

NCP1937
DETAILED OPERATING DESCRIPTION
Introduction
A dedicated comparator monitors VCC when the QR stage
is enabled and latches off the controller if VCC exceeds
VCC(OVP), typically 28 V.
The controller is disabled once a fault is detected. The
controller will restart the next time VCC reaches VCC(on) and
all non−latching faults have been removed.
The supply capacitor provides power to the controller
during power up. The capacitor must be sized such that a
VCC voltage greater than VCC(off) is maintained while the
auxiliary supply voltage is building up. Otherwise, VCC will
collapse and the controller will turn off. The operating IC
bias current, ICC4, and gate charge load at the drive outputs
must be considered to correctly size CCC. The increase in
current consumption due to external gate charge is
calculated using Equation 1.
The NCP1937 is a combination critical mode (CrM)
power factor correction (PFC) and quasi−resonant (QR)
flyback controller optimized for off−line adapter
applications. This device includes all the features needed to
implement a highly efficient adapter with extremely low
input power in no−load conditions.
This device reduces standby input power by integrating an
active input filter capacitor discharge circuit and
disconnecting the PFC feedback resistor divider when the
PFC is disabled.
High Voltage Startup Circuit
The NCP1937 integrates two high voltage startup circuits
accessible by the HV_X2 and BO_X2 pins. The startup
circuits are also used for input filter capacitor discharge. The
BO_X2 input is also used for monitoring the ac line voltage
and detecting brown−out faults. The startup circuits are
rated at a maximum voltage of 700 V.
A startup regulator consists of a constant current source
that supplies current from the ac input terminals (Vin) to the
supply capacitor on the VCC pin (CCC). The startup circuit
currents (Istart2A/B) are typically 3.75 mA. Istart2A/B are
disabled if the VCC pin is below VCC(inhibit). In this
condition the startup current is reduced to Istart1A/B,
typically 0.5 mA. The internal high voltage startup circuits
eliminate the need for external startup components. In
addition, these regulators reduce no load power and increase
the system efficiency as they use negligible power in the
normal operation mode.
Once CCC is charged to the startup threshold, VCC(on),
typically 17 V, the startup regulators are disabled and the
controller is enabled. The startup regulators remain disabled
until VCC falls below the minimum operating voltage
threshold, VCC(off), typically 8.8 V. Once reached, the PFC
and flyback controllers are disabled reducing the bias
current consumption of the IC. Both startup circuits are then
enabled allowing VCC to charge back up.
In power savings mode VCC is regulated by enabling the
startup circuits once the supply voltage decays below
VCC(PS_on), typically 11 V. The startup circuit is disabled
once VCC exceeds VCC(PS_on). This provides enough
headroom from VCC(off) to maintain a supply voltage and
allow the controller to detect the line voltage removal in
order to discharge the input filter capacitor(s). In this mode,
the supply capacitor is charged by the startup circuit on the
HV_X2 and BO_X2 pins once the voltage on these pin
exceeds 30 V, typically. This reduces the average voltage
during which the startup circuit is enabled reducing power
consumption. Both startup circuits are enabled once the
controller exits power savings mode in order to quickly
charge VCC. A new startup sequence commences once VCC
reaches VCC(on).
I CC(gate charge) + f @ Q G
(eq. 1)
where f is the operating frequency and QG is the gate charge
of the external MOSFETs.
Line Voltage Sense
The BO/X2 pin provides access to the brown−out and line
voltage detectors. It also provides access to the input filter
capacitor discharge circuit. The brown−out detector detects
mains interruptions and the line voltage detector determines
the presence of either 110 V or 220 V ac mains. Depending
on the detected input voltage range device parameters are
internally adjusted to optimize the system performance.
This pin connects to either line or neutral to achieve
half−wave rectification as shown in Figure 3. A diode is used
to prevent the pin from going below ground. A resistor in
series with the BO/X2 pin can be used for protection, but a
low value (< 3 kW) resistor should be used to reduce the
voltage offset while sensing the line voltage.
Figure 3. Brown−out and Line Voltage Detectors
Configuration
The flyback stage is enabled once VBO_X2 is above the
brown−out threshold, VBO(start), and VCC reaches VCC(on).
The high voltage startups are immediately enabled when the
voltage on VBO_X2 crosses over the brown−out start
threshold, VBO(start), to ensure that device is enabled quickly
upon exiting a brown−out state. Figure 4 shows typical
power up waveforms.

Figure 5 shows typical operation for the line voltage
detector. The default power−up mode of the controller is low
line. The controller switches to “high line” mode if VBO_X2
exceeds the line select threshold for longer than the low to
high line timer, t(low to high line), typically 300 ms, as long as
it was not previously in high line mode. If the controller has
switched from “high line” to “low line” mode, the low to
high line timer, t(low to high line), is inhibited until VBO/X2 falls
below VBO(stop). This prevents the controller from toggling
back to “high line” until at least one VBO(stop) transition has
occurred. The timer and logic is included to prevent
unwanted noise from toggling the operating line level.
In “high line” mode the high to low line timer, t(high to low
line), (typically 54 ms) is enabled once VBO_X2 falls below
VBO(lineselect). It is reset once VBO_X2 exceeds
VBO(lineselect). The controller switches back to “low line”
mode if the high to low line timer expires.
A timer is enabled once VBO_X2 drops below its stop
threshold, VBO(stop). If the timer, tBO, expires the device will
begin monitoring the voltage on VBO_X2 and disable the
PFC and flyback stages when that voltage is below the
Brown−out Drive Disable threshold, VBO(DRV_disable),
typically 30 V. This ensures that device switching is stopped
in a low energy state which minimizes inductive voltage
kick from the EMI components and ac mains. The timer, tBO,
typically 54 ms, is set long enough to ignore a single cycle
drop−out.
Line Voltage Detector
The input voltage range is detected based on the peak
voltage measured at the BO_X2 pin. Discrete values are
selected for the PFC stage gain (feedforward) depending on
the input voltage range. The controller compares VBO_X2 to
an internal line select threshold, VBO(lineselect). Once
VBO_X2 exceeds VBO(lineselect), the PFC stage operates in
“high line” (Europe/Asia) or “220 Vac” mode. In high line
mode the maximum on time is reduced by a factor of 3,
resulting in a maximum output power independent of input
voltage.

Input Filter Capacitor Discharge
both startup circuits are enabled. The startup circuits will
then source current from the BO_X2 and HV_X2 inputs to
the VCC pin and discharge the input filter capacitors by
transferring its charge to the VCC capacitor(s). The input
filter capacitor(s) are typically discharged once the startup
circuit turns on the 1st time because the energy stored in the
input filter capacitor(s) is significantly lower than the energy
needed to charge the VCC capacitor from VCC(off) to
VCC(on). After the initial discharge the controller enters a
low current mode (ICC2) once VCC drops to VCC(off).
In the event that the input filter capacitor is not fully
discharged, a larger VCC capacitor should be used. But, this
is not a concern for most applications because the supply
capacitor value will be large enough to maintain VCC during
skip operation. Figure 6 shows typical behavior of the filter
capacitor discharge when the ac line is removed.
Safety agency standards require the input filter capacitors
to be discharged once the ac line voltage is removed. A
resistor network is the most common method to meet this
requirement. Unfortunately, the resistor network consumes
power across all operating modes and is a major contributor
to the total input power dissipation during light−load and
no−load conditions.
The NCP1937 eliminates the need for external discharge
resistors by integrating active input filter capacitor
discharge circuitry. A novel approach is used to reconfigure
the high voltage startup circuits to discharge the input filter
capacitors upon removal of the ac line voltage.
Once the controller detects the absence of the ac line
voltage, the controller is disabled and VCC is discharged by
a current source, ICC(discharge), typically 11.5 mA. This will
cause VCC to fall down to VCC(off). Upon reaching VCC(off),

The diode connecting the AC line to the BO_X2 pin should
be placed after the system fuse. A resistor in series with the
BO_X2 pin is recommended to limit the current during
transient events. A low value resistor (< 3 kW) should be used
to reduce the voltage drop when the startup circuit is enabled.
once VPSTimer falls below its minimum operating level,
VPSTimer(MIN) (maximum of 50 mV). The time to enter PSM
mode is calculated using Equations 2 through 4. The time to
exit PSM mode is calculated using Equation 5.

The NCP1937 has a low current consumption mode
known as power savings mode (PSM). The supply current
consumption in this mode is below 70 mA. PSM operation
is controlled by an external control signal. This signal is
typically generated on the secondary side of the power
supply and fed via an optocoupler.
The NCP1937 is configured as active on logic, that is it
enters PSM in the absence of the control signal. The control
signal is applied to the PSTimer pin. The block diagram for
NCP1937 PSTimer pin is shown in Figure 7. Power savings
mode operating waveforms for the NCP1937 are shown in
Figure 8.
The NCP1937 controller starts once VCC reaches VCC(on)
and no faults are present. At this time the current source on
the PSTimer pin, IPSTimer1, is enabled. IPSTimer1 is typically
10 mA. The current source charges the capacitor connected
from this pin to ground. Once VPSTimer reaches VPSTimer2 a
2nd current source, IPSTimer2, is enabled to speed up the
charge of CPSM. VPSTimer2 and IPSTimer2 are typically 1 V
and 1 mA, respectively. The controller enters PSM if the
voltage on VPSTimer exceeds VPS_in, typically 3.5 V. An
external optocoupler or switch needs to pull down on this pin
before its voltage reaches VPS_in to prevent entering PSM.
Once the controller enters PSM, IPSTimer1/2 is disabled. A
resistor between this pin and ground discharges the PSTimer
capacitor. The controller exits PSM once VPSTimer drops
below VPS_out, typically 0.5 V. Once the QR stage is
enabled, the capacitor on the PSTimer pin is discharged with
an internal pull down transistor. The transistor is disabled

In PSM the startup circuits on the HV_X2 and BO_X2
pins work to maintain VCC above VCC(off). The input filter
capacitor discharge circuitry continues operation in PSM.
The supply voltage is maintained in PSM by enabling one of
the startup circuits once VCC falls below VCC(PS_on)
(typically 11 V) and either VHV_X2 exceeds VHV_X2(PS) or
VBO_X2 exceeds VBO_X2(PS) (typically 30 V). The startup
circuit is disabled once VCC exceeds VCC(PS_on). A voltage
offset is observed on VCC while the startup circuit is enabled
due to the capacitor ESR. This will cause the startup circuit
to turn off because VCC exceeds VCC(PS_on). Internal
circuitry prevents the startup circuit from turning on
multiple times during the same ac line half−cycle. The
complementary startup circuit will then turn on during the
next half−cycle. Eventually, VCC will be regulated several
millivolts below VCC(PS_on). The offset is dependent on the
capacitor ESR.
This architecture enables the startup circuit for the exact
amount of time needed to regulate VCC. This results in a
significant reduction in power dissipation because the
average input voltage is greatly reduced.

Fault Input
the upper threshold, the external pull−up current has to be
higher than the pull−down capability of the clamp (set by
RFault(clamp) at VFault(clamp)). The upper fault threshold is
intended to be used for an overvoltage fault using a Zener
diode and a resistor in series from the auxiliary winding
voltage, VAUX. The controller is latched once VFault exceeds
VFault(OVP).
The Fault input signal is filtered to prevent noise from
triggering the fault detectors. Upper and lower fault detector
blanking delays, tdelay(Fault_OVP) and tdelay(Fault_OTP) are
both typically 30 ms. A fault is detected if the fault condition
is asserted for a period longer than the blanking delay.
A bypass capacitor is usually connected between the Fault
and GND pins and it will take some time for VFault to reach
its steady state value once IFault(OTP) is enabled. Therefore,
a lower fault (i.e. overtemperature) is ignored during
soft−start. In Options B and D, IFault(OTP) remains enabled
while the lower fault is present independent of VCC in order
to provide temperature hysteresis. The controller can detect
an upper OVP fault once VCC exceeds VCC(reset). The OVP
fault detection remains active provided the device is not in
PSM.
Once the controller is latched, it is reset if a brown−out
condition is detected or if VCC is cycled down to its reset
level, VCC(reset). In the typical application these conditions
occur only if the ac voltage is removed from the system.
Prior to reaching VCC(reset), Vfault(clamp) is set at 0 V.
The NCP1937 includes a dedicated fault input accessible
via the Fault pin. The controller can be latched by pulling the
pin above the upper fault threshold, VFault(OVP), typically
3.0 V. The controller is disabled if the Fault pin voltage,
VFault, is pulled below the lower fault threshold,
VFault(OTP_in), typically 0.4 V. The lower threshold is
normally used for detecting an overtemperature fault. The
controller operates normally while the Fault pin voltage is
maintained within the upper and lower fault thresholds.
Figure 9 shows the architecture of the Fault input.
The lower fault threshold is intended to be used to detect
an overtemperature fault using an NTC thermistor. A pull up
current source IFault(OTP), (typically 45.5 mA) generates a
voltage drop across the thermistor. The resistance of the
NTC thermistor decreases at higher temperatures resulting
in a lower voltage across the thermistor. The controller
detects a fault once the thermistor voltage drops below
VFault(OTP_in). Options A and C latch−off the controller after
an overtemperature fault is detected. In Options B and D the
controller is re−enabled once the fault is removed such that
VFault increases above VFault(OTP_out) and VCC reaches
VCC(on). Figure 10 shows typical waveforms related to the
latch option whereas Figure 11 shows waveforms of the
auto−recovery option.
An active clamp prevents the Fault pin voltage from
reaching the upper latch threshold if the pin is open. To reach

QR Flyback Valley Lockout
patent pending valley lockout circuitry to eliminate valley
jumping. Once a valley is selected, the controller stays
locked in this valley until the output power changes
significantly. Like a traditional QR flyback controller, the
frequency increases when the load decreases. Once a higher
valley is selected the frequency decreases very rapidly. It
will continue to increase if the load is further reduced. This
technique extends QR operation over a wider output power
range while maintaining good efficiency and limiting the
maximum operating frequency. Figure 12 shows a
qualitative frequency vs output power relationship.
Figure 13 shows the internal arrangement of the valley
lockout circuitry. The decimal counter increases each time
a valley is detected. The operating valley (1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th)
is determined by the QFB voltage. As VQFB decreases or
increases, the valley comparators toggle one after another to
select the proper valley. The activation of an “n” valley
comparator blanks the “n−1” or “n+1” valley comparator
output depending if VQFB decreases or increases,
respectively.
A valley is detected once VQZCD falls below the QR
flyback demagnetization threshold, VQZCD(th), typically 55
mV. The controller will switch once the valley is detected or
increment the valley counter depending on QFB voltage.
The NCP1937 integrates a quasi−resonant (QR) flyback
controller. The power switch turn−off of a QR converter is
determined by the peak current set by the feedback loop. The
switch turn−on is determined by the transformer
demagnetization. The demagnetization is detected by
monitoring the transformer auxiliary winding voltage.
Turning on the power switch once the transformer is
demagnetized or reset reduces switching losses. Once the
transformer is demagnetized, the drain voltage starts ringing
at a frequency determined by the transformer magnetizing
inductance and the drain lump capacitance eventually
settling at the input voltage. A QR controller takes
advantage of the drain voltage ringing and turns on the
power switch at the drain voltage minimum or “valley” to
reduce switching losses and electromagnetic interference
(EMI).
The operating frequency of a traditional QR flyback
controller is inversely proportional to the system load. That
is, a load reduction increases the operating frequency. This
tradionally requires a maximum frequency clamp to limit
the operating frequency. This causes the controller to
become unstable and jump (or hesitate) between two valleys
generating audible noise. The NCP1937 incorporates a

VQFB falls below VHVCOD. In VCO mode the peak current
is set as shown in Figure 15. The operating frequency in
VCO mode is adjusted to deliver the required output power.
A hysteresis between valleys provides noise immunity
and helps stabilize the valley selection in case of small
perturbations on VQFB.
Figure 14 shows the operating valley versus VQFB. Once
a valley is asserted by the valley selection circuitry, the
controller is locked in this valley until VQFB decreases or
increases such that VQFB reaches the next valley threshold.
A decrease in output power causes the controller to switch
from “n” to “n+1” valley until reaching the 4th valley.
A further reduction of output power causes the controller
to enter the voltage control oscillator (VCO) mode once

VCO Mode
capacitor is charged with a constant current source, IQCT,
typically 20 mA.
The capacitor voltage, VQCT, is compared to an internal
voltage level, Vf(QFB), inversely proportional to VQFB The
relationship between and Vf(QFB) and VQFB is given by
Equation 6.
The controller enters VCO mode once VQFB falls below
VHVCOD and remains in VCO until VQFB exceeds VHVCOI.
In VCO mode the peak current is set to VQILIM1*Ipeak(VCO)
and the operating frequency is linearly dependent on VQFB.
The product of VQILIM1*Ipeak(VCO) is typically 12.5%. A
minimum frequency clamp, fVCO(MIN), typically 27 kHz,
prevents operation in the audible range. Further reduction in
output power causes the controller to enter skip operation.
The minimum frequency clamp is only enabled when
operating in VCO mode.
The VCO mode operating frequency is set by the timing
capacitor connected between the QCT and GND pins. This
V f (QFB) + 5 * 2 @ V QFB
A drive pulse is generated once VQCT exceeds Vf(QFB)
followed by the immediate discharge of the timing capacitor.
The timing capacitor is also discharged once the minimum
frequency clamp is reached.

Flyback Timeout
During startup, the voltage offset added by the overpower
compensation diode, DOPP, prevents the QZCD Comparator
from accurately detecting the valleys. In this condition, the
steady state timeout period will be shorter than the inductor
demagnetization period causing continuous current mode
(CCM) operation. CCM operation lasts for a few cycles until
the voltage on the QZCD pin is high enough to detect the
valleys. A longer timeout period, tQ(tout1), (typically 100 ms)
is set during soft−start to limit CCM operation. Figure 22
and Figure 23 show the timeout period generator related
waveforms.
In case of extremely damped oscillations, the QZCD
comparator may be unable to detect the valleys. In this
condition, drive pulses will stop waiting for the next valley
or ZCD event. The NCP1937 ensures continued operation
by incorporating a maximum timeout period after the last
demagnetization detection. The timeout signal is a substitute
for the ZCD signal for the valley counter. Figure 21 shows
the timeout period generator circuit schematic. The steady
state timeout period, tQ(tout2), is set at 6 ms to limit the
frequency step.

QR Flyback Current Sense and Overload
The Maximum Peak Current Comparator compares the
current sense signal to a reference voltage to limit the
maximum peak current of the system. The maximum peak
current reference voltage, VQILIM1, is typically 0.8 V. The
maximum peak current setpoint is reduced by the overpower
compensation circuitry. An overload condition causes the
output of the Maximum Peak Current Comparator to
transition high and enable the overload timer. Figure 24
shows the implementation of the current sensing circuitry.
The power switch on time is modulated by comparing a
ramp proportional to the switch current to VQFB/KQFB using
the PWM Comparator. The switch current is sensed across
a current sense resistor, RSENSE, and the resulting voltage is
applied to the QCS pin. The current signal is blanked by a
leading edge blanking (LEB) circuit. The blanking period
eliminates the leading edge spike and high frequency noise
during the switch turn−on event. The LEB period,
tQCS(LEB1), is typically 275 ns. The drive pulse terminates
once the current sense signal exceeds VQFB/KQFB.

and the overload timer counts down. The controller can latch
(options C and D) or allow for auto−recovery (options A and
B) once the overload timer expires. Auto−recovery requires
a VCC triple hiccup before the controller restarts. Figure 25
and Figure 26 show operating waveforms for latched and
auto−recovery overload conditions.
The overload timer integrates the duration of the overload
fault. That is, the timer count increases while the fault is
present and reduces its count once it is removed. The
overload timer duration, tQOVLD, is typically 80 ms. If both
the PWM and Maximum Peak Current Comparators toggle
at the same time, the PWM Comparator takes precedence

NCP1937
A severe overload fault like a secondary side winding
short−circuit causes the switch current to increase very
rapidly during the on−time. The current sense signal
significantly exceeds VQILIM1. But, because the current sense
signal is blanked by the LEB circuit during the switch turn
on, the system current can get extremely high causing
system damage.
The NCP1937 protects against this fault by adding an
additional comparator, Fault Overcurrent Comparator. The
current sense signal is blanked with a shorter LEB duration,
tQCS(LEB2), typically 120 ns, before applying it to the Fault
Overcurrent Comparator. The voltage threshold of the
comparator, VQILIM2, typically 1.2 V, is set 50% higher than
VQILIM1, to avoid interference with normal operation. Four
consecutive faults detected by the Fault Overcurrent
Comparator causes the controller to enter latch mode. The
count to 4 provides noise immunity during surge testing. The
counter is reset each time a QDRV pulse occurs without
activating the Fault Overcurrent Comparator. A 1 mA
(typically) pull−up current source, IQCS, pulls up the QCS
pin to disable the controller if the pin is left open.
ramps up from 0 V once the controller powers up. The
soft−start duration, tSSTART, is typically 4 ms.
During soft−start the timeout duration is extended and the
lower latch or OTP Comparator signal (typically for
overtemperature) is blanked. Soft−start ends once VSSTART
exceeds the peak current sense signal threshold.
QR Flyback Overpower Compensation
The input voltage of the QR flyback stage varies with the
line voltage and operating mode of the PFC converter. At
low line the PFC bulk voltage is 250 V and at high line it is
400 V. In addition, the PFC can be disabled at light loads to
reduce input power at which point the PFC bulk voltage is
set by the rectified peak line voltage.
An integrated overpower circuit provides a relative
constant output power across PFC bulk voltage, Vbulk. It
also reduces the variation on VQFB during the PFC stage
enable or disable transitions. Figure 27 shows the circuit
schematic for the overpower detector.
The auxiliary winding voltage during the power switch on
time is a reflection of the input voltage scaled by the primary
to auxiliary winding turns ratio, NP,AUX, as shown in
Figure 28.

Soft−start is achieved by ramping up an internal reference,

Substituting values in Equation 8 and solving for ROPPU
we obtain,
Overpower compensation is achieved by scaling down the
on−time reflected voltage and applying it to the QZCD pin.
The voltage is scaled down using ROPPU and ROPPL. The
negative voltage applied to the pin is referred to as VOPP.
The internal current setpoint is the sum of VOPP and peak
current sense threshold, VQILIM1. VOPP is also subtracted
from VQFB to compensate for the PWM Comparator delay
and improve the PFC on/off accuracy.
The current setpoint is calculated using Equation 7. For
example, a VOPP of −0.15 V results in a current setpoint of
0.65 V.

Power Factor Correction
The PFC stage operates in critical conduction mode
(CrM). In CrM, the PFC inductor current, IL(t) reaches zero
at the end of each switch cycle. Figure 29 shows the PFC
inductor current while operating in CrM. The average input
current, Iin(t), is in phase with the ac line voltage, Vin(t), to
achieve power factor correction.
(eq. 7)
To ensure optimal zero−crossing detection, a diode is
needed to bypass ROPPU during the off−time. Equation 8 is
used to calculate ROPPU and ROPPL.

It is recommended to have at least 8 V applied on the QZCD
pin for good detection. The maximum voltage is internally
clamped to VCC. The off−time voltage on the QZCD is given

PFC Feedback
The PFC feedback circuitry is shown in Figure 30. A
transconductance error amplifier regulates the PFC output
voltage, Vbulk, by comparing the PFC feedback signal to an
internal reference voltage, VPREF. The feedback signal is
applied to the inverting input and the reference is connected
to the non−inverting input of the error amplifier. A resistor
divider consisting of R1 and R2 scales down Vbulk to
generate the PFC feedback signal. VPREF is trimmed during
manufacturing to achieve an accuracy of ± 2%.
The PFC stage is disabled at light loads to reduce input power.
The NCP1937 integrates a 700 V switch, PFC FB Switch,
between the PFBHV and PFBLV pins. The PFC FB Switch
is in series between R1 and R2 to disconnect the resistors and
reduce input power when the PFC stage is disabled.

Figure 30. PFC Regulation Circuit Schematic
The maximum on resistance of the PFC FB Switch,
RPFBswitch(on), is 10 kW. Because the PFC FB Switch is in
series with R1 and R1’s value is several orders of
magnitudes larger, the switch introduces minimum error on
the regulation level. The off state leakage current of the PFC
FB Switch, IPFBSwitch(off), is less than 3 mA.
The NCP1937 safely disables the controller if the PFBLV
pin is grounded. A short pin detector disables the controller
if VPFBLV is below the disable threshold, VPFB(disable),
typically 0.3 V. If the PFBLV pin is open, the PFC FB Switch
will raise VPFBLV above the overvoltage threshold and
disable the controller. Equation 12 shows the relationship
between the PFC output voltage, the PFC reference
threshold, R1 and R2.

where, CPControl is the capacitor on the PControl pin to

The output of the error amplifier is held low when the PFC
is disabled by means of an internal pull−down transistor. The
pull down transistor is disabled once the PFC stage is
enabled. An internal voltage clamp is then enabled to
quickly raise VPControl to its minimum voltage,
VPClamp(lower).
PFC On−Time
The PFC on time is controlled by VPControl. The PFC
On−Time Comparator terminates the drive pulse once the
PFC on−time ramp voltage plus offset exceeds VPControl.
The ramp is generated by charging an internal timing
capacitor, CPCT, with a constant current source, IPCT. The
capacitor ramp is level shifted to achieve 0 duty ratio (stop
drive pulses) at the minimum VPControl. VPControl is
proportional to the output power and it is fixed for a given
RMS line voltage and output load, satisfying Equation 11.
Lower and upper voltage clamps limit the excursion of
VPControl. The maximum on−time, ton(MAX), occurs when
VPControl is at its maximum value, VPControl(MAX). The PFC
drive pulses are inhibited once VPControl is below its
minimum value, VPControl(MIN). The maximum PFC
on−time in the NCP1937 is set internally. The maximum on
time at low line is typically 15 ms.
(eq. 12)
PFC Error Amplifier
A transconductance amplifier has a voltage−to−current
gain, gm. That is, the amplifier’s output current is controlled
by the differential input voltage. The NCP1937 amplifier
has a typical gm of 200 mS. The PControl pin provides access
to the amplifier output for compensation. The compensation
network is ground referenced allowing the PFC feedback
signal to be used to detect an overvoltage condition.
The compensation network on the PControl pin is selected
to filter the bulk voltage ripple such that a constant control
voltage is maintained across the ac line cycle. A capacitor
between the PControl pin and ground sets a pole. A pole at
or below 20 Hz is enough to filter the ripple voltage for a 50
and 60 Hz system. The low frequency pole, fp, of the system
is calculated using Equation 13.

NCP1937
PFC Transient Response
The boost current source becomes active as soon as the
PFC is enabled. Coupled with the lower control clamp, the
current provided by the boost current source assists in
rapidly bringing VPControl to its set point to allow the bulk
voltage to quickly reach regulation. Achieving regulation is
detected by monitoring the error amplifier output current.
The error amplifier output current drops to zero once the
PFC output voltage reaches the target regulation level.
The maximum PFC output voltage is limited by the
overvoltage protection circuitry. The NCP1937
incorporates both soft and hard overvoltage protection. The
hard overvoltage protection function immediately
terminates and prevents further PFC drive pulses when
VPFBLV exceeds the hard−OVP level, VPREF(xL) *
KPOVP(xL). Soft−OVP reduces the on−time proportional to
the delta between VPFBLV and the hard−OVP level.
Soft−OVP is enabled once the delta, DPOVP(xL), between
VPFBLV and the hard−OVP level, is between 20 and 55 mV.
Figure 31 shows the circuit schematic of the boost and
Soft−OVP circuits.
The PFC bandwidth is set low enough to achieve good
power factor. A low bandwidth system is slow and fast load
transients can result in large output voltage excursions. The
NCP1937 incorporates dedicated circuitry to help mantain
regulation of the output voltage independent of load
transients.
An undervoltage detector monitors Vbulk and prevents it
from dropping below from its regulation level. Once the
ratio between VPFBLV and VPREF(xL) exceeds KLOW(PFCxL),
typically 5.5%, a pull−up current source on the PControl pin,
IPControl(boost), is enabled to speed up the charge of the
compensation capacitor(s). This results in an increased
on−time and thus output power. IPControl(boost) is typically
240 mA. The boost current source is disabled once the ratio
between VPFBLV and VPREF(xL) drops below KLOW(PFCxL),
typically 4%.
Figure 31. Boost and Soft−OVP Circuit Schematics
PFC Current Sense and Zero Current Detection
During power up, VPControl exceeds the regulation level
due to the system’s inherently low bandwidth. This causes
the bulk voltage to rapidly increase and exceed its
regulation. The on time starts to decrease when soft−OVP is
activated. Once the bulk voltage decreases to its regulation
level the PFC on time is no longer controlled by the
soft−OVP circuitry.
The NCP1937 uses a novel architecture combining the
PFC current sense and zero current detectors (ZCD) in a
single input terminal. Figure 32 shows the circuit schematic
of the current sense and ZCD detectors.

than VPILIM1, to avoid interference with normal operation.
Four consecutive faults detected by the Short Circuit
Comparator causes the controller to enter latch mode. The
count to 4 provides noise immunity during surge testing. The
counter is reset each time a PDRV pulse occurs without
activating the Short Circuit Comparator.
The PFC watchdog timer duration increases to tPFC(off2)
(typically 1 ms) when a VPILIM2 fault is detected
independent of the PFC ZCD state.
The PFC Switch current is sensed across a sense resistor,
RPsense, and the resulting voltage ramp is applied to the
PCS/PZCD pin. The current signal is blanked by a leading
edge blanking (LEB) circuit. The blanking period eliminates
the leading edge spike and high frequency noise during the
switch turn−on event. The LEB period, tPCS(LEB1), is
typically 325 ns. The Current Limit Comparator disables the
PFC driver once the current sense signal exceeds the PFC
current sense reference, VPILIM1, typically 0.5 V.
A severe overload fault like a PFC boost diode short
circuit causes the switch current to increase very rapidly
during the on−time. The current sense signal significantly
exceeds VPILIM1. But, because the current sense signal is
blanked by the LEB circuit during the switch turn on, the
system current can get extremely high causing system
damage.
The NCP1937 protects against this fault by adding an
additional comparator, PFC Short Circuit Comparator. The
current sense signal is blanked with a shorter LEB duration,
tPCS(LEB2), typically 175 ns, before applying it to the PFC
Short Circuit Comparator. The voltage threshold of the
comparator, VPILIM2, typically 1.25 V, is set 250% higher
PFC Zero Current Detection
The off−time in a CrM PFC topology varies with the
instantaneous line voltage and is adjusted every switching
cycle to allow the inductor current to reach zero before the
next switching cycle begins. The inductor is demagnetized
once its current reaches zero. Once the inductor is
demagnetized the drain voltage of the PFC switch begins to
drop. The inductor demagnetization is detected by sensing
the voltage across the inductor using an auxiliary winding.
This winding is commonly known as a zero crossing
detector (ZCD) winding. This winding provides a scaled
version of the inductor voltage. Figure 33 shows the ZCD
winding arrangement.

threshold. The watchdog timer is reset at the beginning of a
PFC drive pulse. It is disabled during a PFC hard
overvoltage and feedback input short circuit condition.
Figure 33. ZCD Winding Implementation
The ZCD voltage, VZCD, is positive while the PFC Switch
is off and current flows through the PFC inductor. VZCD
drops to and rings around zero volts once the inductor is
demagnetized. The next switching cycle begins once a
negative transition is detected on the PCS/PZCD pin. A
positive transition (corresponding to the PFC switch turn
off) arms the ZCD detector to prevent false triggering. The
arming of the ZCD detector, VPZCD(rising), is typically
0.75 V (VPCS/PZCD increasing). The trigger threshold,
VPZCD(falling), is typically 0.25 V (VPCS/PZCD decreasing).
The PCS/PZCD pin is internally clamped to 5 V with a
Zener diode and a 2 kW resistor. A resistor in series with the
PCS/PZCD pin is required to limit the current into pin. The
Zener diode also prevents the voltage from going below
ground. Figure 34 shows typical ZCD waveforms.
During startup there are no ZCD transitions to set the PFC
PWM Latch and generate a PDRV pulse. A watchdog timer,
tPFC(off1), starts the drive pulses in the absence of ZCD
transitions. Its duration is typically 200 ms. The timer is also
useful if the line voltage transitions from low line to high line
and while operating at light load because the amplitude of
the ZCD signal may be too small to cross the ZCD arming
Figure 34. ZCD Winding Waveforms
The watchdog timer duration increases to tPFC(off2),
typically 1 ms, when a VPILIM2 fault is detected.
PFC Frequency Clamp
The PFC operating frequency naturally increases when
the line voltage gets near to zero due to the reduced
demagnetization time or when the PFC is operating at light
loads. A maximum frequency clamp, fclamp(PFC), limits the
PFC frequency to improve efficiency and facilitate
compliance with EMI requirements. The NCP1937 has
options for PFC frequency clamp values of 131 kHz or
250 kHz.
The PDRV pulse is blanked until the frequency clamp
timer expires. Once expired, the controller waits for the next
ZCD transition to initiate PDRV. This ensures valley
switching to reduce switching losses. A timeout timer,
tP(tout), starts the next PDRV pulse in the absence of a ZCD
transition. The timeout timer duration is typically 10 ms. The
timer is reset at every ZCD event. Figure 35 shows the block
diagram of the PFC frequency clamp.

PFC Enable & Disable
The PONOFF pin voltage, VPONOFF, is compared to an
internal reference, VPOFF (typically 2 V) to disable the PFC
stage. The PFC disable point is typically set between 25 and
50% or between 50 and 75% of the maximum system load.
These setpoints provide the best system efficiency across
low line and high line.
Once VPONOFF decreases below VPOFF, the PFC disable
timer, tPdisable, is enabled. The NCP1937 has options for
500 ms, 4 s, or 13 s PFC disable timer. The PFC stage is
disabled once the timer expires. The PFC stage is enabled
once VPONOFF exceeds VPOFF by VPONHYS for a period
longer than the PFC enable filter, tPenable(filter), typically 100
ms. A shorter delay for the PFC enable threshold is used to
reduce the bulk capacitor requirements during a step load
response. Figure 36 shows the block diagram of the PFC
disable circuit.
In some applications it is desired to disable the PFC at
lighter loads to increase the overall system efficiency. The
NCP1937 integrates a novel architecture that allows the user
to program the PFC disable threshold based on the percentage
of QR output power. The PFC enable circuitry is inactive
until the QR flyback soft start period has ended. A voltage
to current (V−I) converter generates a current proportional
to VQFB. This current is pulse width modulated by the
demagnetization time of the flyback controller to generate
a current, IPONOFF, proportional to the output power. An
external resistor, RPONOFF, between the PONOFF and GND
pins generate a voltage proportional to the output power.
This resistor is used to scale the output power signal. A
capacitor, CPONOFF, in parallel with RPONOFF is required to
average the signal on this pin. A good compromise between
voltage ripple and speed is achieved by setting the time
constant of CPONOFF and RPONOFF to 160Ăms.

PFC Skip
Auto Recovery
The PFC stage incorporates skip cycle operation at light
loads to reduce input power. Skip operation disables the PFC
stage if the PControl voltage decreases below the skip
threshold. The skip threshold voltage is typically 25 mV
(DVPSKIP) above the PControl lower voltage clamp,
Vclamp(lower). The PFC stage is enabled once VPControl
increases above the skip threshold by the skip hysteresis,
VPSKIP(HYS). PFC skip is disabled during any initial PFC
startup and when the PFC is in a UVP. Skip operation will
become active after the PFC has reached regulation.
The controller is disabled and enters “triple−hiccup”
mode if VCC drops below VCC(off). The controller will also
enter “triple−hiccup” mode if an overload fault is detected
on the non−latching version. A hiccup consists of VCC
falling down to VCC(off) and charging up to VCC(on). The
controller needs to complete 3 hiccups before restarting.
Temperature Shutdown
An internal thermal shutdown circuit monitors the
junction temperature of the IC. The controller is disabled if
the junction temperature exceeds the thermal shutdown
threshold, TSHDN, typically 150_C. A continuous VCC
hiccup is initiated after a thermal shutdown fault is detected.
The controller restarts at the next VCC(on) once the IC
temperature drops below below TSHDN by the thermal
shutdown hysteresis, TSHDN(HYS), typically 40_C.
The thermal shutdown fault is also cleared if VCC drops
below VCC(reset), a brown−out fault is detected or if the line
voltage is removed. A new power up sequences commences
at the next VCC(on) once all the faults are removed.
PFC and Flyback Drivers
The NCP1937 maximum supply voltage, VCC(MAX), is
30 V. Typical high voltage MOSFETs have a maximum gate
voltage rating of 20 V. Both the PFC and flyback drivers
incorporate an active voltage clamp to limit the gate voltage
on the external MOSFETs. The PFC and flyback voltage
clamps, VPDRV(high) and VQDRV(high), are typically 12 V
with a maximum limit of 14 V.
