Application Information
Start-up Current
Fig.9
The typical start-up current is around 8uA. Very low
start-up current allows the PWM controller to
increase the value of start-up resistor and then
reduce the power dissipation on it.
UVLO (Under Voltage Lockout)
A hysteresis UVLO comparator is implemented in
GR8837T Then turn-on and turn-off thresholds level
are fixed at 11.3V and 6.8V respectively. This
hysteresis shown in Fig.9 ensures that the start-up
capacitor will be adequate to supply the chip during
Soft Start
During initial power on, the GR8837T provides
16ms soft start function. It effectively suppresses
the start up peak current to reduce the power
MOSFET drain voltage especially at high line.
Oscillator
The maximum duty-cycle of internal oscillator is
limited to 75% for avoiding the transformer
saturation. The frequency of the oscillator is fixed to
65KHz by internal setting.

standby power below 100mW. So the start-up
resistor can be used as several Mega Ohms to

UVLO (on) 11.3V

LEB (Leading-Edge Blanking)
Each time the power MOSFET is switched on, a
turn-on spike will inevitably occur at the sense
resistor. To avoid fault trigger, a 350ns leading-edge
blanking time is built in. Conventional RC filtering
can therefore be omitted. During this blanking

To prevent power MOSFET from being damaged,

Internal Slope Compensation
Built-in slope compensation circuit adds voltage
ramp in the current sense input voltage for PWM
generation. This greatly improves the close loop
stability at CCM and prevents the sub-harmonic
oscillation and thus reduces the output ripple

Gate Clamp/Soft Driving
Driver is clamped to 13V by an internal clamping
circuit. A totem pole gate driver is fine tuned to meet
both EMI and efficiency requirement in low power
application. An internal pull low circuit is activated
after pretty low Vdd to prevent external MOSFET
from accidentally turning on during UVLO.
