AOZ7523
Typical Operation Description
Start-Up
During the start-up period, the HV device acts as a
current source and charges the VDD capacitor until its
voltage is higher than that of the turn-on threshold VDDON, at that point the AOZ7523 will start to operate but it
will enter standby mode to wait brown-in signal. The VDD
voltage of AOZ7523 will be kept between 12V~14V until
brown-in is triggered. After brown-in, PWM signal will
start to drive the MOSFET and the peak current of
MOSFET will be increased linearly during the soft-start
period.
Normal Mode Operation
In normal mode operation, if the output is in heavy load,
the controller is switching with maximum frequency
(130kHz or 65kHz) and operated with current-mode
control.
Frequency Foldback Mode Operation
AOZ7523 provides green mode operation to reduce
switching loss and improve system efficiency by
frequency foldback function during light load condition.
When the voltage of FB pin is decreased below VFB-E.
The controller will enter green mode and the switching
frequency starts foldback according to load condition.
The minimum switching frequency will be clamped to
FMIN when the voltage of FB pin is below VFB-D.
Skipping Mode Operation
Under very light load condition, the voltage of FB will be
decreased to a very low level. When the voltage of FB is
dropped below the threshold (VSK-E) that is the
hysteresis voltage of internal PWM comparator, the PWM
signal will be blanked and stop to drive MOSFET. After
the output voltage dropped and FB voltage increased
higher than VSK-D, the PWM signal will be resumed.
VDD Hold-Up Mode Operation
During load transient or ultra light load conditions, FB
voltage will drop deeply and enter into skipping cycle
mode to stop PWM signal. In some conditions, VDD
voltage will drop below controller’s turn-off threshold
(UVLO) and then the system will be restarted. If another
load occurred, the system cannot respond immediately
and the output voltage will drop deeply. This mode is very
useful to prevent system restarting during ultra light load
condition and has a quick response for load transients. It
doesn’t require a two-stage VDD circuit to keep VDD
voltage higher than UVLO.
Rev. 1.0 January 2017
Minimum On Time Modulation
In order to reduce switching loss and minimize acoustic
noise, AOZ7523 provides Modulate On-Time to limit the
minimum turn-on time (Ton,min). The modulate on-time
is inversely proportional to input voltage. In the condition
of low line input voltage, PWM on-time will be enlarged to
reduce switching cycles and increase the efficiency of
light load. In the condition of high line input voltage, PWM
on time will be tighten to minimize acoustic noise and
make the ripple of output voltage close in every line input.
Protection Features
Over Voltage Protection (OVP)
It's critical that over voltage protection (OVP) prevents
the output voltage from exceeding the ratings of
converter’s components. The Over-Voltage Protection
(OVP) is embedded by the information at the VDD pin.
That information comes from the output voltage through
the turn-ratio from auxiliary winding to secondary-side
winding. When the voltage further rises and exceeds the
comparator’s reference voltage of static OVP (27V typ),
the OVP comparator will shut down the output PWM
pulse. The OVP logic also includes 20μs de-glitch time
for false triggering by noise.
DMAG Over Voltage Protection (DOVP)
AOZ7523 provides a more accurate OVP function from
DMAG pin that is to protect system component when the
output is over voltage. DMAG pin detect the voltage
across the auxiliary winding during MOSFET turn-off
period with another 1μs de-glitch time. The DMAG pin
voltage is proportional to the output voltage. The DMAG
OVP will be triggered when the DMAG voltage over 3V
continuously with 5 PWM cycles. This DMAG OVP is
more accurate and faster than the VDD OVP function. A
bypass capacitance (15~100pF) in DMAG pin is needed
to avoid false trigger DOVP and malfunction.
DMAG pin Pull Low Protection
AOZ7523 provides a useful protection function in DMAG
pin, when DMAG pin is pulled low below 0.3V and
continuous with two switching cycles. The pull low current
must be larger than 2mA. AOZ7523 will trigger DMAG pin
pull low protection to protect system for user defined
protection applications.
Cycle-by-Cycle Current Limit
The cycle-by-cycle current-limit protection circuit detects
the inductor current and protects power MOSFET by
turning off the output driver each cycle when the CS
voltage becomes larger than preset voltage level. The
voltage across the current detection resistor RCS
connected to the GND is fed to the CS pin for current limit
detection.

Page 10 of 15
AOZ7523
There are two levels for current limit. The slow one,
reference voltage set point is VCL = 0.9V. AOZ7523 offers
60ms de-bounce timer for counting to enter Over Load
Protection (OLP) mode and the system will be autorecovery. The fast one, reference voltage set point is
VCL2 = 1.5V. This protection function will be triggered, if
the fast one comparator is continuously triggered by five
times. This condition will be happened during transformer
short or Secondary Side Diode Short (SSDS), and the
circuit will induce large current in the primary-side.
Over Load Protection (OLP)
AOZ7523 provides Over Load Protection function to
prevent the device of power supply system from
operating with high stress. The OLP level was set by
current sense resistor (RCS). OLP will be triggered when
load condition is larger than preset level and continuous
with 60ms (4096 clock cycles).
CS Pin Open Protection
The CS pin features open-loop protection to pass the CS
pin single fault testing. When CS pin was opened, CS pin
voltage will be pulled high by internal circuit. The pull high
voltage was higher than VCL2 = 1.5V, such that SSDS
protection will be triggered to protect system.
CS Pin Short Protection
CS pin features short to GND protection to pass the CS
pin single fault testing. When CS pin is shorted to GND, it
means the CS pin voltage is zero. When CS pin voltage
is lower than 80mV with modulate minimum on-time and
continuous triggered with 5 cycles, the CS pin short
protection will be triggered to protect the power supply
system. The detection duration are different between
high line input voltage and low line input voltage to
protect the component in high line input and detect
precisely in low line input voltage.
Thermal Shutdown
AOZ7523 provides internal thermal shutdown protection
for controller thermal run away. If the temperature of
controller is higher than internal set point, the controller
will stop PWM until the temperature cools down, below
hysteresis of thermal shutdown set point.
PCB Layout Guide
A good PCB layout can minimize EMI and reduce
unknown noise, which is helpful during ESD or lighting
surge tests. The followings are good PCB layout
guideline for an AC/DC adaptor:
1. Bridge rectifier output should directly connect to
CBULK first, and use a neck layout to ensure the
current flows into CBULK to get better EMI and reduce
line frequency ripple.
2. Loop (a), CBULK → Transformer → MOSFET →
RCS → CBULK (2), this loop is a high frequency and
high current loop. The trace return to CBULK should
be kept as short as possible and directly connect to
CBULK ground.
3. Loop (b), the primary-side RCD snubber acts as a
high frequency noise tank, it should be kept far away
from the controller. The loop should be as short as
possible.
4. Loop (c), the secondary-side snubber is a high
frequency switching noise, too. The loop should be
kept as short as possible.
5. The VDD decoupling capacitor CVDD needs to be
placed close to IC, VDD and GND pin as much as
possible.
6. Loop (d), Switching current sense (CS pin) is very
important for a stable operation. Normally, a RC filter
is recommended to reduce the noise applied to the
CS pin.
7. If there’s a heat sink for the MOSFET, it should be
connected to ground.
8. All ground for controller (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10) should
connect together first and then use a trace connect to
CBULK ground (2) by a neck layout.
9. Loop (e), auxiliary power loop still needs to be kept
short. CVDD should be placed close to the controller.
This one also needs to use a trace to directly connect
to CBULK ground (2) by neck layout.
10. Primary-side ground of Y-Cap (11), it needs to use a
trace to directly connect to CBULK ground (2) by neck
layout.
