During IC first startup, the internal RefGOOD signal is logic low when VCC < 4 V. It will reset the Burst Mode level
Detection latch. When the Burst Mode Level Detection latch is low and IC is in OFF state, the IC internal RFB
resistor is disconnected from the FB pin and a current source Isel is turned on instead.
From Vcc=4 V to Vcc on threshold, the FB pin will start to charge to a voltage level associated with RSel resistor.
When Vcc reaches Vcc on threshold, the FB voltage is sensed. The burst mode thresholds are then chosen
according to the FB voltage level. The Burst Mode Level Detection latch is then set to high. Once the detection
latch is set high, any change of the FB level will not change the threshold selection. The current source Isel is
turned off in 2 μs after VCC reaches VCC on threshold and the RFB resistor is re-connected to FB pin (see Figure 9).

Quasi-Resonant Controller
Functional Description
3.5.1
Entering Active Burst Mode Operation
For determination of entering Active Burst Mode operation, three conditions apply:
the feedback voltage is lower than the threshold of VFB_EBLX
the up/down counter is 8 for low line or 10 for high line and
the above two conditions remain after a certain blanking time tFB_BEB (20 ms).
Once all of these conditions are fulfilled, the Active Burst Mode flip-flop is set and the controller enters Active
Burst Mode operation. This multi-condition determination for entering Active Burst Mode operation prevents
mis-triggering of entering Active Burst Mode operation, so that the controller enters Active Burst Mode
operation only when the output power is really low during the preset blanking time.
3.5.2
During Active Burst Mode Operation
After entering the Active Burst Mode the feedback voltage rises as VO starts to decrease due to the inactive PWM
section. One comparator observes the feedback signal if the voltage level VFB_BOn is exceeded. In that case the
internal circuit is power up to restart with switching.
Turn-on of the power MOSFET is triggered by ZC counter with a fixed value of 8 ZC for low line and 10 ZC for
high line. Turn-off is resulted if the voltage across the shunt resistor at CS pin hits the threshold VCS_BLX.
If the output load is still low, the feedback signal decreases as the PWM section is operating. When feedback
signal reaches the low threshold VFB_BOff , the internal circuit is reset again and the PWM section is disabled until
next time VFB signal increases beyond the VFB_BOn threshold. In Active Burst Mode, the feedback signal is changing
like a saw tooth between VFB_BOff and VFB_BOn (see Figure 10).
3.5.3
Leaving Active Burst Mode Operation
The feedback voltage immediately increases if there is a high load jump. This is observed by a comparator with
threshold of VFB_LB. As the current limit is VCS_BLX (31% or 35%) during Active Burst Mode, a certain load is needed
so that feedback voltage can exceed VFB_LB. After leaving active burst mode, normal peak current control
through VFB is re-activated. In addition, the up/down counter will be set to 1 (low line) or 3 (high line)
immediately after leaving Active Burst Mode. This is helpful to minimize the output voltage undershoot.

Protection Functions
The ICE5QSAG provides numerous protection functions which considerably improve the power supply system
robustness, safety and reliability. The following table summarizes these protection functions. There are 3
different kinds of protection mode; non switch auto restart, auto restart and odd skip auto restart. The details
can refer to the Figure 11, Figure 12 and Figure 13.

3.6.1
Non switch Auto Restart
Line Over Voltage
The AC Line Over Voltage Protection is detected by sensing bus capacitor voltage through VIN pin via 2 potential
divider resistors, Rl1 and Rl2 (see Figure 1). Once VVIN voltage is higher than the line over voltage threshold VVIN_LOVP, the
controller enters Line Over Voltage Protection and it releases the protection mode after VVIN is lower than VVIN_LOVP.
3.6.2
Brownout
The Brownout protection is observed by VIN pin similar to line over voltage Protection method with a different
voltage threshold level. When VVIN voltage is lower than the brownout threshold (VVIN_BO), the controller enters
Brownout Protection and it releases the protection mode after VVIN higher than brownin threshold (VVIN_BI).
3.6.3
VCC Ovder Voltage or Under Voltage
During operation, the VCC voltage is continuously monitored. In case of a VCC Over Voltage or Under Voltage,
the IC is reset and the main power switch is then kept off. After the VCC voltage falls below the threshold VVCC_OFF,
the new start up sequence is activated. The VCC capacitor is then charged up. Once the voltage exceeds the
threshold VVCC_ON, the IC begins to operate with a new soft-start.
3.6.4
Over Load
In case of open control loop or output Over Load, the feedback voltage will be pulled up and exceed VFB_OLP.
After a blanking time of tFB_OLP_B, the IC enters auto restart mode. The blanking time here enables the converter
to operate for a certain time during a sudden load jump.
3.6.5
Output Over Voltage
During off-time of the power MOSFET, the voltage at the ZCD pin is monitored for Output Over Voltage
detection. If the voltage is higher than the preset threshold VZCD_OVP for 10 consecutive pulses, the IC enters
Output Over Voltage Protection.
3.6.6
Over Temperature
If the junction temperature of controller chip exceeds Tjcon_OTP, the IC enters into Over Temperature protection
(OTP) Non switch auto restart mode. The controller implements with a 40°C hysteresis. In another word, the
controller/IC can only resume from OTP if its junction temperature drops 40 °C from OTP trigger point. The over
temperature protection of the controller chip shall prevent turn-on of the power supply if the component
temperature is too high. For appropriate system protection, additional measures may have to be taken by the
designer.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Attention: Stresses above the maximum values listed here may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure
to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability. Maximum
ratings are absolute ratings; exceeding only one of these values may cause irreversible damage to the
integrated circuit. System design needs to ensure not to exceed the maximum limit. Ta=25°C unless

Output power curve
The calculated output power curves versus ambient temperature are shown below. The curves are derived
based on a typical DCM flyback in an open frame design setting the maximum TJ at 125 °C, using minimum pin
copper area in a 2 oz copper single sided PCB and steady state operation only (no design margins for abnormal
operation modes are included).
The output power figure is for reference only. The actual power can vary depending on a particular design. In a
power supply system, appropriate thermal design margins must be considered to make sure that the operation
of the device is within the maximum ratings given in section 4.1.
