OPERATION
COMPONENT SELECTION
The SC4560/A/B integrates a PWM controller and a
power transistor into a single chip. It is designed to drive
a flyback converter for charging photoflash capacitors in
digital and film cameras. The SC4560/A/B adopts the
Critical Current Operation Mode to improve system efficiency, simplify the control scheme, and eliminate the
need of output voltage sensing circuitry. The primary peak
current of flyback transformer is limited to avoid drawing
too much current from the battery that may pull down
the battery voltage and affect system operation.
General design guideline of flyback converters can be
applied to the component selection for the SC4560/A/
B.
Transf
ormer
ransformer
The transformer is most critical part for SC4560/A/B
circuit design. The flyback transformer performs as an
inductor for storing energy and as a booster for high output voltages. The main transformer parameters that need
to be designed are turns ratio N, primary inductance Lpri,
and primary leakage inductance Lleak.
As shown in the Block Diagram and Application Circuit,
when the CHG pin is pulled high, a one shot sets both SR
latches. The power NPN transistor, Q1, turns on and current begins building up in the primary of transformer. The
Current Limit Comparator monitors Q1 current and when
the peak current reaches the limit, the SR latch resets
and Q1 turns off. The energy stored in the transformer is
delivered to charge the photoflash capacitor via the secondary and diode D2. As the secondary current decreases
to zero, the SW pin voltage will begin to collapse. When
the voltage between SW and VIN drops to 36mV or lower,
the output of Trigger Comparator will go low. This fires a
one shot that turns Q1 back on. This completes one
switching cycle. The cycle will repeat until the output is
fully charged.
The transformer turns ratio N is determined by target
output voltage. The SC4560/A/B detects output voltage by monitoring the flyback waveform on the primary
between SW pin and VIN pin during discharging. When
the SW voltage reaches 31.5V higher than the VIN voltage, the part will halt power delivery. Thus, choose turns
ratio N according to the equation:
N=
Vout + 2
31.5
where Vout is the desired output voltage. 2V is added to
Vout to offset the effect of the output diode voltage drop.
The transformer primary inductance Lpri, or magnetizing
inductance, has to be chosen to ensure the SC4560/A/
B has enough time to sense output voltage during discharging when the output is almost fully charged. It is
recommended to set the monitoring time as 200ns or
higher. Then, the Lpri can be calculated by:
During the discharge of the transformer in every switching cycle, the voltage across SW and VIN reflects the
output voltage. This voltage is used to determine the
completion of the charge. Therefore no output voltage
divider is required to sense the output voltage. When
the SW voltage is 31.5V above VIN, the output of Full
Comparator goes high which resets the master latch. This
disables Q1 and halts power delivery. NPN transistor Q2
is turned on pulling the READY pin low, indicating that the
part has finished charging.
L pri ³
Vout × 200 × 10 -9
N × I pk
where Vout is the desired output voltage. N is the transformer turns ratio, and Ipk is 1.3A for SC4560, 0.6A for
SC4560A, and 2.2A for SC4560B.
The charging can be halted at any time by pulling the
CHG pin low. Only when the final output voltage is
reached will the READY pin go low.
The transformer primary leakage inductance Lleak will
cause a voltage spike to occur on the SW pin when the
power transistor Q1 turns off. The leakage value must
be controlled so that the spike does not exceed 40V
with the absolute maximum rating of the SW Pin at 50V.
Table 1 lists all parameters of the flyback transformer
that need to meet or exceed the recommended limits.
The transformer must be carefully designed and checked

Input Capacitor
A high quality X5R or X7R type ceramic capacitor with
sufficient voltage capability is recommended for the input bypass capacitor.
LA
Y OUT GUIDELINES
LAY
The switching regulator is a high di/dt power circuit. Its
Printed Circuit Board (PCB) layout is critical. A good layout can achieve optimum circuit performance while minimizing the component stress, resulting in better system
reliability.
Output Diode
A low capacitance diode with adequate reverse voltage
and forward current characteristics is recommended for
the output rectifier. The peak reverse voltage of the diode is approximately:
The following guidelines are typically recommended for
using the SC4560/A/B controller.
(1) Place the SC4560/A/B over a quiet ground plane to
avoid pulsing current noise.
V pk _ R = Vout + ( N × Vin )
(2) Place the transformer close to VIN pin and SW pin.
The loop formed by the VIN pin, transformer primary, and
SW pin must be as small as possible to reduce the leakage inductance.
The peak current of the diode is:
I pk _ SEC =
Units
1 .4
N
(3) Place the input ceramic capacitor close to the VIN pin
and GND pin for the high frequency and high current
decoupling.
SW Pin Clamp Diode
During a switch cycle, the SW node may go below ground
due to the transformer leakage inductance. A Schottky
diode between the GND pin to the SW pin is required to
prevent the SW node from going too far below ground. It
is recommended to select the Schottky diode with at
least a 500mA peak forward current capability, and
600mV or less forward voltage drop at 500mA forward
current. The diode reverse voltage rating should be 40V
or higher.
