NCP1251 Current-Mode PWM Controller for Off-line Power Supplies The NCP1251 is a highly integrated PWM controller capable of delivering a rugged and high performance offline power supply in a tiny TSOP−6 package. With a supply range up to 28 V, the controller hosts a jittered 65 kHz or 100 kHz switching circuitry operated in peak current mode control. When the power on the secondary side starts to decrease, the controller automatically folds back its switching frequency down to a minimum level of 26 kHz. As the power further goes down, the part enters skip cycle while limiting the peak current. Over Power Protection (OPP) is a difficult exercise especially when no−load standby requirements drive the converter specifications. The ON proprietary integrated OPP lets you harness the maximum delivered power without affecting your standby performance simply via two external resistors. A latched Over Voltage Protection (OVP) is combined on the same pin. For ease of implementation, a latched OVP also monitors the VCC line. They offer an efficient protection in case of optocoupler destruction or adverse open loop operation. Finally, a timer−based short−circuit protection offers the best protection scheme, letting you precisely select the protection trip point irrespective of a loose coupling between the auxiliary and the power windings.

This component represents the ideal candidate where low part−count and cost effectiveness are the key parameters, particularly in low−cost ac−dc adapters, open−frame power supplies etc. Capitalizing on the NCP120X series success, the NCP1251 packs all the necessary components normally needed in today modern power supply designs, bringing several enhancements such as a non−dissipative OPP. • Current−mode operation with internal ramp compensation: Implementing peak current mode control at a fixed 65 kHz or 100 kHz, the NCP1251 offers an internal ramp compensation signal that can easily by summed with the sensed current. Sub harmonic oscillations are eliminated via the inclusion of a single resistor in series with the current−sense information. • Internal OPP: By routing a portion of the negative voltage present during the on−time on the auxiliary winding to the dedicated OPP pin (pin 3), the user has a simple and non−dissipative means to alter the maximum peak current setpoint as the bulk voltage increases. If the pin is grounded, no OPP compensation occurs. If the pin receives a negative voltage down to –250 mV, then a peak current reduction down to 31.3% typical can be achieved. For an improved performance, the maximum voltage excursion on the sense resistor is limited to 0.8 V. • Low startup current: Achieving a low no−load standby power always represents a difficult exercise when the controller draws a significant amount of current during start−up. Due to its proprietary architecture, the NCP1251 is guaranteed to draw less than 15 mA typical, easing the design of low standby power adapters. • EMI jittering: An internal low−frequency modulation signal varies the pace at which the oscillator frequency is modulated. This helps by spreading out energy in conducted noise analysis. To improve the EMI signature at low power levels, the jittering remains active in frequency foldback mode. • Frequency foldback capability: A continuous flow of pulses is not compatible with no−load/light−load standby power requirements. To excel in this domain, the controller observes the feedback pin and when it reaches a level of 1.5 V, the oscillator then starts to reduce its switching frequency as the feedback level continues to decrease. When the feedback pin reaches 1.05 V, the peak current setpoint is internally frozen and the frequency continues to decrease. It can go down to • • • • 26 kHz (typical) reached for a feedback level of roughly 350 mV. At this point, if the power continues to drop, the controller enters classical skip−cycle mode. Internal soft−start: A soft−start precludes the main power switch from being stressed upon start−up. In this controller, the soft−start is internally fixed to 4 ms. The soft−start is activated when a new startup sequence occurs or during an auto−recovery hiccup. OVP input: The NCP1251 includes a latch input (pin 3) that can be used to sense an overvoltage condition on the adapter. If this pin is brought higher than the internal reference voltage Vlatch, then the circuit permanently latches off. The VCC pin is pulled down to a fixed level, keeping the controller latched. The latch reset occurs when the user disconnects the adapter from the mains and lets the VCC falls below the VCC reset. Latched OVP on VCC: It is sometimes interesting to implement a circuit protection by sensing the VCC level. This is what the NCP1251 does by monitoring its VCC pin. When the voltage on this pin exceeds 25 V typical, the pulses are immediately stopped and the part latches off. The Vcc is maintained to 7 V typical and remains in this state until the user unplugs the power supply. Short−circuit protection: Short−circuit and especially over−load protections are difficult to implement for transformers with high leakage inductance between auxiliary and power windings (the aux winding level does not properly collapse in presence of an output short). Here, every time the internal 0.8 V maximum peak current limit is activated (or less when OPP is used), an error flag is asserted and a time period starts, thanks to an internal timer. If the timer reaches completion while the error flag is still present, the controller stops the pulses and goes into a latch−off phase, operating in a low−frequency burst−mode. When the fault is cleared, the SMPS resumes operation. Please note that some versions offer an auto−recovery mode as described and some latch off in case of a short circuit. Start−up Sequence The NCP1251 start−up voltage is made purposely high to permit a large energy storage in a small VCC capacitor value. This helps to operate with a small start−up current which, together with a small VCC capacitor, will not hamper the start−up time. To further reduce the standby power, the start−up current of the controller is extremely low, below 15 mA maximum. The start−up resistor can therefore be connected to the bulk capacitor or directly to the mains input voltage to further reduce the power dissipation. http://onsemi.com 14 NCP1251 R3 200k 3 10 R2 200k 5 D2 1N4007 D1 1N4007 11 12 R1 200k Cbulk 22uF input mains D6 1N4148 1 D5 1N4935 VCC D4 1N4007 D3 1N4007 2 C1 4.7uF 4 aux. C3 47uF Figure 40. The Startup Resistor Can Be Connected to the Input Mains for Further Power Dissipation Reduction The first step starts with the calculation of the VCC capacitor which will supply the controller when it operates until the auxiliary winding takes over. Experience shows that this time t1 can be between 5 ms and 20 ms. If we consider we need at least an energy reservoir for a t1 time of 10 ms, the VCC capacitor must be larger than: CV CC w I CCt 1 VCC on * VCC min w 3m 10m 9 This calculation is purely theoretical, and assumes a constant charging current. In reality, the take over time can be shorter (or longer!) and it can lead to a reduction of the VCC capacitor. Hence, a decrease in charging current and an increase of the start−up resistor, thus reducing the standby power. Laboratory experiments on the prototype are thus mandatory to fine tune the converter. If we chose the 413 kW resistor as suggested by Equation 4, the dissipated power at high line amounts to: w 3.3 mF (eq. 1) Let us select a 4.7 mF capacitor at first and experiments in the laboratory will let us know if we were too optimistic for the time t1. The VCC capacitor being known, we can now evaluate the charging current we need to bring the VCC voltage from 0 to the VCCon of the IC, 18 V typical. This current has to be selected to ensure a start−up at the lowest mains (85 V rms) to be less than 3 s (2.5 s for design margin): I charge w VCC onC VCC 2.5 w 18 4.7m 2.5 w 34 mA P Rstart*up + + I CVCC,min + p * VCC on (eq. 2) (eq. 3) R start*up To make sure this current is always greater than 49 mA, then the minimum value for Rstart−up can be extracted: V ac,rmsǸ2 R start*up v p * VCC on I CVCC,min 85 v 1.414 p * 18 49m 2 4R start*up 230 2 0.827Meg + ǒ230 4 Ǹ2Ǔ 413k 2 (eq. 5) + 64 mW Now that the first VCC capacitor has been selected, we must ensure that the self−supply does not disappear when in no−load conditions. In this mode, the skip−cycle can be so deep that refreshing pulses are likely to be widely spaced, inducing a large ripple on the VCC capacitor. If this ripple is too large, chances exist to touch the VCCmin and reset the controller into a new start−up sequence. A solution is to grow this capacitor but it will obviously be detrimental to the start−up time. The option offered in Figure 40 elegantly solves this potential issue by adding an extra capacitor on the auxiliary winding. However, this component is separated from the VCC pin via a simple diode. You therefore have the ability to grow this capacitor as you need to ensure the self−supply of the controller without jeopardizing the start−up time and standby power. A capacitor ranging from 22 to 47 mF is the typical value for this device. One note on the start-up current. If reducing it helps to improve the standby power, its value cannot fall below a certain level at the minimum input voltage. Failure to inject If we account for the 15 mA that will flow inside the controller, then the total charging current delivered by the start−up resistor must be 49 mA. If we connect the start−up network to the mains (half−wave connection then), we know that the average current flowing into this start−up resistor will be the smallest when VCC reaches the VCCon of the controller: V ac,rmsǸ2 V ac,peak v 413.5 kW (eq. 4) http://onsemi.com 15 NCP1251 enough current (30 mA) at low line will turn a converter in fault into an auto-recovery mode since the SCR won’t remain latched. To build a sufficient design margin, we recommend to keep at least 60 mA flowing at the lowest input line (80 V rms for 85 V minimum for instance). An excellent solution is to actually combine X2 discharge and start-up networks as proposed in Figure 13 of application note AND8488/D. the current−sense offset. A way to reduce the power capability at high line is to capitalize on the negative voltage swing present on the auxiliary diode anode. During the power switch on−time, this point dips to −NVin, N being the turns ratio between the primary winding and the auxiliary winding. The negative plateau observed on Figure 42 will have an amplitude dependant on the input voltage. The idea implemented in this chip is to sum a portion of this negative swing with the 0.8 V internal reference level. For instance, if the voltage swings down to −150 mV during the on time, then the internal peak current set point will be fixed to 0.8 − 0.150 = 650 mV. The adopted principle appears in Figure 42 and shows how the final peak current set point is constructed. Internal Over Power Protection There are several known ways to implement Over Power Protection (OPP), all suffering from particular problems. These problems range from the added consumption burden on the converter or the skip−cycle disturbance brought by 1 v(24) 40.0 off−time 20.0 N1(Vout +Vf) v(24) (V) 1 0 −20.0 −N2Vbulk on−time −40.0 464u 472u 480u time (s) 488u 496u Figure 41. The Signal Obtained on the Auxiliary Winding Swings Negative During the On−time Let’s assume we need to reduce the peak current from 2.5 A at low line, to 2 A at high line. This corresponds to a 20% reduction or a set point voltage of 640 mV. To reach this level, then the negative voltage developed on the OPP pin must reach: V OPP + 640m * 800m + −160 mV http://onsemi.com 16 (eq. 6) NCP1251 RoppU swings to: Vout during toff −N V in during ton VCC aux This p oin t will be adjusted to reduce the ref at hi line to the desired level. from FB OPP K1 SUM2 ref CS K2 + Io p p reset − VDD 0.8 V $5% R oppL ref = 0.8 V + VOPP (V O P P is negativ e) Figure 42. The OPP Circuitry Affects the Maximum Peak Current Set Point by Summing a Negative Voltage to the Internal Voltage Reference Let us assume that we have the following converter characteristics: Vout = 19 V Vin = 85 to 265 Vrms N1 = Np:Ns = 1:0.25 N2 = Np:Naux = 1:0.18 Given the turns ratio between the primary and the auxiliary windings, the on−time voltage at high line (265 Vac) on the auxiliary winding swings down to: V aux + −N 2V in,max + −0.18 375 + −67.5 V Div + 0.16 [ 2.4m 67.5 (eq. 8) If we arbitrarily fix the pull−down resistor ROPPL to 1 kW, then the upper resistor can be obtained by: R OPPU + 67.5 * 0.16 0.16ń1k [ 421 kW (eq. 9) If we now plot the peak current set point obtained by implementing the recommended resistor values, we obtain the following curve (Figure 43): (eq. 7) To obtain a level as imposed by Equation 6, we need to install a divider featuring the following ratio: Peak current setpoint 100% 80% 375 Vbulk Figure 43. The Peak Current Regularly Reduces Down to 20% at 375 Vdc clamped slightly below –300 mV which means that if more current is injected before reaching the ESD forward drop, then the maximum peak reduction is kept to 40%. If the voltage finally forward biases the internal zener diode, then care must be taken to avoid injecting a current beyond –2 mA. Given the value of ROPPU, there is no risk in the present example. The OPP pin is surrounded by Zener diodes stacked to protect the pin against ESD pulses. These diodes accept some peak current in the avalanche mode and are designed to sustain a certain amount of energy. On the other side, negative injection into these diodes (or forward bias) can cause substrate injection which can lead to an erratic circuit behavior. To avoid this problem, the pin is internally http://onsemi.com 17 NCP1251 foldback and reduces its switching frequency. The peak current setpoint follows the feedback pin until its level reaches 1.05 V. Below this value, the peak current freezes to Vfold/4.2 (250 mV or 31% of the maximum 0.8 V setpoint) and the only way to further reduce the transmitted power is to reduce the operating frequency down to 26 kHz. This value is reached at a voltage feedback level of 350 mV typically. Below this point, if the output power continues to decrease, the part enters skip cycle for the best noise−free performance in no−load conditions. Figure 44 depicts the adopted scheme for the part. Finally, please note that another comparator internally fixes the maximum peak current set point to 0.8 V even if the OPP pin is inadvertently biased above 0 V. Frequency Foldback The reduction of no−load standby power associated with the need for improving the efficiency, requires a change to the traditional fixed−frequency type of operation. This controller implements a switching frequency foldback when the feedback voltage passes below a certain level, Vfold, set around 1.5 V. At this point, the oscillator enters frequency Frequency Peak current setpoint Fsw FB VCS max 65 kHz 26 kHz max 0.8 V [ 0.36 V min 350 mV 1.5 V Vfold Vfold,end 3.4 V [ 0.25 V VFB min Vfreeze Vfold 1.05 V 1.5 V 3.4 V VFB Figure 44. By Observing the Voltage on the Feedback Pin, the Controller Reduces its Switching Frequency for an Improved Performance at Light Load Auto−Recovery Short−Circuit Protection due to the resistive starting network. When VCC reaches VCCON, the controller attempts to re−start, checking for the absence of the fault. If the fault is still there, the supply enters another cycle of so−called hiccup mode. If the fault has cleared, the power supply resumes normal operation. Please note that the soft−start is activated during each of the re−start sequence. In case of output short−circuit or if the power supply experiences a severe overloading situation, an internal error flag is raised and starts a countdown timer. If the flag is asserted longer than 100 ms, the driving pulses are stopped and the VCC pin slowly goes down to around 7 V. At this point, the controller wakes−up and the VCC builds up again http://onsemi.com 18 NCP1251 15.9 4.32 14.8 9.90 3.35 6.05 vcc in volts 23.6 3.89 ilprim in amperes Plot1 vdrv in volts 1 vcc 2 vdrv 3 ilprim 1 Vcc (t) VDRV (t) 2.38 2 −2.72 −2.12 1.41 ILp (t) SS −11.5 −8.13 445m 500u 1.50m 2.50m time in seconds 3.50m 3 4.50m Figure 45. An Auto−Recovery Hiccup Mode is Activated for Faults Longer than 100 ms Slope Compensation converters. These oscillations take place at half the switching frequency and occur only during CCM with a duty−cycle greater than 50%. To lower the current loop gain, one usually injects between 50% and 100% of the inductor downslope. Figure 46 depicts how internally the ramp is generated. Please note that the ramp signal will be disconnected from the CS pin, during the off time. The NCP1251 includes an internal ramp compensation signal. This is the buffered oscillator clock delivered only during the on time. Its amplitude is around 2.5 V at the maximum duty−cycle. Ramp compensation is a known means used to cure sub harmonic oscillations in Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM) operated current−mode 2.5 V 0V ON latch reset 20k + Rcomp LEB CS − Rsense from FB setpoint Figure 46. Inserting a Resistor in Series with the Current Sense Information Brings Ramp Compensation and Stabilizes the Converter in CCM Operation. In the NCP1251 controller, the oscillator ramp features a 2.5 V swing reached at a 80% duty−ratio. If the clock operates at a 65 kHz frequency, then the available oscillator slope corresponds to: S ramp + V ramp,peak D maxT SW + 0.8 2.5 15m + 208 kVńs or 208 mVńms http://onsemi.com 19 (eq. 10) NCP1251 Latching Off the Controller In our flyback design, let’s assume that our primary inductance Lp is 770 mH, and the SMPS delivers 19 V with a Np :Ns ratio of 1:0.25. The off−time primary current slope Sp is thus given by: The OPP pin not only allows a reduction of the peak current set point in relationship to the line voltage, it also offers a means to permanently latch−off the part. When the part is latched−off, the VCC pin is internally pulled down to around 7 V and the part stays in this state until the user cycles the VCC down and up again, e.g. by un−plugging the converter from the mains outlet. It is important to note that the SCR maintains its latched state as long as the injected current stays above the minimum value of 30 mA. As the SCR delatches for an injected current below this value, it is the designer duty to make sure the injected current is high enough at the lowest input voltage. Failure to maintain a sufficiently high current would make the device auto recover. A good design practice is to ensure at least 60 mA at the lowest input voltage. The latch detection is made by observing the OPP pin by a comparator featuring a 3 V reference voltage. However, for noise reasons and in particular to avoid the leakage inductance contribution at turn off, a 1 ms blanking delay is introduced before the output of the OVP comparator is checked. Then, the OVP comparator output is validated only if its high−state duration lasts a minimum of 600 ns. Below this value, the event is ignored. Then, a counter ensures that 4 successive OVP events have occurred before actually latching the part. There are several possible implementations, depending on the needed precision and the parameters you want to control. The first and easiest solution is the additional resistive divider on top of the OPP one. This solution is simple and inexpensive but requires the insertion of a diode to prevent disturbing the OPP divider during the on time. N Sp + ǒVout ) VfǓ Nps Lp + (19 ) 0.8) 4 770m + 103 kAńs (eq. 11) Given a sense resistor of 330 mW, the above current ramp turns into a voltage ramp of the following amplitude: S sense + S pR sense + 103k 0.33 (eq. 12) + 34 kVńs or 34 mVńms If we select 50% of the downslope as the required amount of ramp compensation, then we shall inject a ramp whose slope is 17 mV/ms. Our internal compensation being of 208 mV/ms, the divider ratio (divratio) between Rcomp and the internal 20 kW resistor is: divratio + 17m + 0.082 208m (eq. 13) The series compensation resistor value is thus: R comp + R ramp @ divratio + 20k 0.082 [ 1.6 kW (eq. 14) A resistor of the above value will then be inserted from the sense resistor to the current sense pin. We recommend adding a small capacitor of 100 pF, from the current sense pin to the controller ground for an improved immunity to the noise. Please make sure both components are located very close to the controller. D2 1N4148 R3 5k 11 RoppU 421k VCC 9 OP P C1 100p aux. winding 4 10 8 1 ROPPL 1k 5 Vlatch OVP OPP Figure 47. A Simple Resistive Divider Brings the OPP Pin Above 3 V in Case of a VCC Voltage Runaway above 18 V First, calculate the OPP network with the above equations. Then, suppose we want to latch off our controller when Vout exceeds 25 V. On the auxiliary winding, the plateau reflects the output voltage by the turns ratio between the power and the auxiliary winding. In case of voltage runaway for our 19 V adapter, the plateau will go up to: V aux,OVP + 25 0.18 + 18 V 0.25 (eq. 15) Since our OVP comparator trips at a 3 V level, across the 1 kW selected OPP pulldown resistor, it implies a 3 mA current. From 3 V to go up to 18 V, we need an additional http://onsemi.com 20 NCP1251 margin. A 100 pF capacitor can be added between the OPP pin and GND to improve noise immunity and avoid erratic trips in presence of external surges. Do not increase this capacitor too much otherwise the OPP signal will be affected by the integrating time constant. A second solution for the OVP detection alone, is to use a Zener diode wired as recommended by. 15 V. Under 3 mA and neglecting the series diode forward drop, it requires a series resistor of: R OVP + V latch * V VOP V OVPńR OPPL + 18 * 3 3ń1k + 15 + 5 kW (eq. 16) 3m In nominal conditions, the plateau establishes to around 14 V. Given the divide−by−6 ratio, the OPP pin will swing to 14/6 = 2.3 V during normal conditions, leaving 700 mV D3 15V D2 1N4148 11 ROPPU 421k VCC OPP 8 aux. winding 4 10 C1 22pF 9 1 ROPPL 1k 5 Vlatch OPP OVP Figure 48. A Zener Diode in Series with a Diode Helps to Improve the Noise Immunity of the System probe connections!) and check that enough margin exists to that respect. For this configuration to maintain an 18 V level, we have selected a 15 V Zener diode. In nominal conditions, the voltage on the OPP pin is almost 0 V during the off time as the Zener is fully blocked. This technique clearly improves the noise immunity of the system compared to that obtained from a resistive string as in Figure 47. Please note the reduction of the capacitor on the OPP pin to 10 pF − 22 pF. This capacitor is necessary because of the potential spike coupling through the Zener parasitic capacitance from the bias winding due to the leakage inductance. Despite the 1 ms blanking delay at turn off. This spike is energetic enough to charge the added capacitor C1 and given the time constant, could make it discharge slower, potentially disturbing the blanking circuit. When implementing the Zener option, it is important to carefully observe the OPP pin voltage (short Over Temperature Protection In a lot of designs, the adapter must be protected against thermal runaways, e.g. when the temperature inside the adapter box increases above a certain value. Figure 49 shows how to implement a simple OTP using an external NTC and a series diode. The principle remains the same: make sure the OPP network is not affected by the additional NTC hence the presence of this isolation diode. When the NTC resistance decreases as the temperature increases, the voltage on the OPP pin during the off time will slowly increase and, once it passes 3 V for 4 consecutive clock cycles, the controller will permanently latch off. http://onsemi.com 21 NCP1251 NT C D2 1N4148 ROPPU 841k VCC au x. winding OP P ROPPL 2.5k full−latch Vlatch OPP Figure 49. The Internal Circuitry Hooked to Pin 3 Can Be Used to Implement Over Temperature Protection (OTP) Back to our 19 V adapter, we have found that the plateau voltage on the auxiliary diode was 13 V in nominal conditions. We have selected an NTC which offers a resistance of 470 kW at 25°C and drops to 8.8 kW at 110°C. If our auxiliary winding plateau is 14 V and we consider a 0.6 V forward drop for the diode, then the voltage across the NTC in fault mode must be: V NTC + 14 * 3 * 0.6 + 10.4 V limit at the chosen output power level. Suppose we need a 200 mV decrease from the 0.8 V set point and the on−time swing on the auxiliary anode is −67.5 V, then we need to drop over ROPPU a voltage of: V ROPPU + 67.5 * 0.2 + 67.3 V The current flowing in the pulldown resistor ROPPL in this condition will be: (eq. 17) Based on the 8.8 kW NTC resistor at 110 °C, the current through the device must be: I NTC + 10.4 8.8k [ 1.2 mA I ROPPU + 3 + 2.5 kW 1.2m 200m 2.5k + 80 mA (eq. 21) The ROPPU value is therefore easily derived: (eq. 18) R OPPU + As such, the bottom resistor ROPPL, can easily be calculated: R OPPL + (eq. 20) 67.3 + 841 kW 80m (eq. 22) Combining OVP and OTP The OTP and Zener−based OVP can be combined together as illustrated by Figure 50. (eq. 19) Now that the pulldown OPP resistor is known, we can calculate the upper resistor value ROPPU to adjust the power http://onsemi.com 22 NCP1251 D3 15V D2 1N4148 NT C 11 ROPPU 841k VCC 8 9 OPP 10 au x. winding 4 1 ROPPL 2.5k 5 OVP Vlatch OPP Figure 50. With the NTC Back in Place, the Circuit Nicely Combines OVP, OTP and OPP on the Same Pin network. Typical values are those given in Figure 51 and must be selected to provide the adequate filtering function without degrading the stand−by power by an excessive current circulation. In nominal VCC / output conditions, when the Zener is not activated, the NTC can drive the OPP pin and trigger the adapter in case of an over temperature. During nominal temperature if the loop is broken, the voltage runaway will be detected and the controller will shut down the converter. In case the OPP pin is not used for either OPP or OVP, it can simply be grounded. Latched OVP on VCC The VCC pin is permanently monitored by a comparator. When the VCC exceeds 25.5 V (typical), all pulses are immediately stopped and the VCC falls to the SCR latched-level around 7 V typical. The controller remains in this state as long as a sufficient current flows in the SCR, at least 30 mA. We recommend to put a design margin there, with a minimum current around 60 mA at the lowest input line. Filtering the Spikes The auxiliary winding is the seat of spikes that can couple to the OPP pin via the parasitic capacitances exhibited by the Zener diode and the series diode. To prevent an adverse triggering of the Over Voltage Protection circuitry, it is possible to install a small RC filter before the detection D3 15V ad d ition al fil ter D2 1N4148 NT C 2 11 C1 330pF ROPPU 841k VCC R3 220 9 3 aux. winding OP P 10 4 1 ROPPL 2.5k 5 Vlatch OVP OPP Figure 51.
