Green Mode PWM Controller
IK3401
Description
The IK3401 is a green mode PWM controller. It is specially
designed for DVDP, STB and LCD monitor application.
To minimize standby power consumption, a green-mode
function provides off-time modulation to continuously
decrease the switching frequency at light-load conditions.
Under zero-load conditions, the power supply enters burstmode. To avoid acoustic noise problem, the minimum PWM frequency set above
20KHz. This green-mode function enables the power supply to easily meet international
power conservation requirements. To further reduce power consumption, IK3401 is
manufactured by using the HV-CMOS process. This allows the lowest start-up current
around 14uA, and the operating current is only 4mA. As a result, large start-up resistance
can be used.
The maximum power can be limited constantly, regardless of the line voltage change
using power limit function. The switching frequency is programmable or internally fixed to
be 65kHz.
IK3401 integrates frequency modulation technique internally. The frequency jittering
function helps reduce EMI emission of a power supply with minimum line filters. Also, its
built-in synchronized slope compensation achieves stable peak-current-mode control.
IK3401 provides many protection functions. In addition to cycle-by-cycle current limiting,
the internal open-loop protection circuit ensures safety should an open loop or output
short-circuit failure occurs. PWM output is disabled till VDD drops below the UVLO lower
limit. Then, the controller starts up again. As long as VDD exceeds about 24V, the internal
OVP circuit is triggered. For OVP and OTP, the protection mode can be chosen to be
latch off or auto recovery.
IK3401 is available in an 8-pin DIP or SOP package.

OPERATION DESCRIPTION
Start-Up Current
The typical start-up current is only 14uA.
This allows a high resistance, low-wattage
start-up resistor to be used, to minimize power
loss. A 1.5MOhm, 0.25W, start-up resistor and
a 10uF/25V VDD hold-up capacitor would be
sufficient for an AC/DC adapter with a universal
input range.
Operating Current
The required operating current has been
reduced to 4mA. This results in higher
efficiency and reduces the VDD hold-up
capacitance requirement.
Green-Mode Operation.
The proprietary green-mode function
provides off-time modulation to continuously
decrease the PWM frequency under light-load
conditions. To avoid acoustic-noise problem,
the minimum PWM frequency set above 22KHz.
This green-mode function dramatically reduces
power consumption under light-load and zeroload conditions. Power supplies using a IK3401
Controller can easily meet even the most
restrictive international regulations regarding
standby power consumption.
Oscillator Operation
A resistor connected from the RI pin to
GND pin generates a constant current source
for the IK3401 controller. This current is used to
determinate the center PWM frequency. Using
a 26KOhm resistor RI results in a
corresponding 65KHz PWM frequency. The
relationship between RI and switching
frequency is:
Leading Edge Blanking
Each time the power MOSFET is switched
on, a turn-on spike will inevitably occur at the
sense-resistor. To avoid premature termination
of the switching pulse, a leading-edge blanking
time is build in. During this blanking period, the
current-limit comparator is disabled, and it
cannot switch off the gate drive.
Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO)
The turn-on/turn-off thresholds are fixed
internally at 16.5V/10.5V. To enable a IK3401
controller during start-up, the hold-up capacitor
must first be charged to 16.5V through the
start-up resistor.
The hold-up capacitor will continue to
supply VDD before energy can be delivered
from the auxiliary winding of the main
transformer. VDD must not drop below 1035V
during this start-up process. This UVLO
hysteresis window ensures that the hold-up
capacitor can adequately supply VDD during
start-up.
Gate Output/Soft Driving
The IK3401 BiCMOS output stage is a fast
totem pole gate driver. Cross-conduction has
been avoided to minimize heat dissipation,
increase efficiency, and enhance reliability. The
output driver is clamped by an internal 18V
Zener diode in order to protect the power
MOSFET transistors from any harmful overvoltage gate signals. A soft driving waveform is
implemented to minimize EMI.
Slope Compensation
The sensed voltage across the current
sense resistor is used for peak-current-mode
control and cycle-by-cycle current limiting. The
The range of the PWM oscillation frequency build-in slope compensation function improves
power supply stability and prevents peakIs designed as 47KHz~109KHz.

ranges from around 62KHz to 68KHz for a
center frequency 65KHz. The frequency
hopping function helps reduce EMI emission of
a power supply with minimum line filters.

TECHNICAL DATA
Constant Output Power Limit
When the SENSE voltage, across the
sense resistor Rs, reaches the threshold
voltage, around 0.85V, the output GATE
drive will be turned off after a small delay tpd.
This delay will introduce an additional current
proportional to tpd*Vin/Lp. Since the delay is
nearly constant regardless of the input
voltage Vin . Higher input voltage will result in
a larger additional current and hence the
output power limit is also higher than under
low input line voltage. To compensate this
variation for wide AC input range, a sawtooth power-limiter is designed to solve the
unequal power-limit problem. The power
limiter is designed as positive ramp signal
and is fed to the inverting input of the OCP
comparator. This results in a lower current
limit at high-line inouts than at low-line inputs.
VDD Over-voltage Protection
VDD over-voltage protection has been
built in to prevent damage voltage conditions.
When the voltage VDD exceeds the internal
threshold due to abnormal conditions, PWM
output wil be latched off. Over-voltage
conditions are usually caused by open
feedback loops.
prevent the power supply from overheating
due to over loading conditions.
Protection Latch Circuit
For the IK3401 family, the built-in latch
function provides a versatile protection
feature that does not require external
components. To reset the latch circuit, it is
necessary to disconnect the AC line voltage
of the power supply.
Over Temperature Protection
IK3401 has internal function of over
temperature protection.
Noise Immunity
Noise from the current sense or the
control signal may cause significant puls
width jitter, particulary in continuousconduction mode. Slope compensation helps
alleviate this problem. Good placement and
layout practices should be followed. The
designer should avoiding long PCB traces
and component leads. Compensation and
filter components should be located near the
IK3401. Finally, increasing the power-MOS
gate resistance is advised.
Limited Power Control
The FB voltage will increase every time
the output of the power supply is shorted or
over-loaded. If the FB voltage remains higher
than a built-in threshold for longer than td-olp,
PWM output will then be turned off. As PWM
output is turned off, the supply voltage VDD
will also begin decreasing.
When VDD goes below the turn-off
threshold (eg, 10.5V) the controller will be
totally shut down. VDD will be charged up to
the turn-on threshold voltage of 16.5V
through the start-up resistor until PWM
output is restarted. This protection feature
will continue to be activated as long as the
over-loading condition persists. This will
