HF500-15
Fixed Frequency Multi-Mode
Flyback Regulator
Integrated with Highly Rugged MOSFET
DESCRIPTION
The HF500-15 is a fixed-frequency, currentmode regulator with built-in slope compensation.
It combines a 700V MOSFET of high avalanche
ruggedness and a full-featured controller into
one chip for a low-power, offline, flyback,
switch-mode power supply.
At medium and heavy loads, the regulator
works in a fixed frequency with frequency
jittering, which helps to spread energy out in a
conducted mode. During a light-load condition,
the regulator freezes the peak current and
reduces its switching frequency to fOSC(min) to
offer excellent efficiency at light load. At very
light loads, the regulator enters burst mode to
achieve low standby power consumption.
Full protection features include thermal
shutdown, brown-in and brownout, VCC undervoltage lockout (UVLO), overload protection
(OLP), short-circuit protection (SCP), input and
output over-voltage protection (OVP), and overtemperature protection (OTP) .
The HF500-15 features timer-based fault
detection and over-power compensation to
ensure that the overload is independent of the
input voltage.
The HF500-15 is available in a SOIC8-7B
package.

1) Exceeding these ratings may damage the device.
2) The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the
maximum junction temperature TJ (MAX), the junction-toambient thermal resistance θJA, and the ambient temperature
TA. The maximum allowable continuous power dissipation at
any ambient temperature is calculated by PD (MAX) = (TJ
(MAX)-TA)/θJA. Exceeding the maximum allowable power
dissipation produces an excessive die temperature, causing
the regulator to go into thermal shutdown. Internal thermal
shutdown circuitry protects the device from permanent
damage.
3) Pulse drain current is tested with Tp≤300μs, Dp≤2%, package

Switching
Frequency
OPERATION
The HF500-15 is a fixed-frequency, currentmode regulator with built-in slope compensation
that incorporates all of the necessary features
to build a reliable switch-mode power supply. In
light-load conditions, the regulator freezes the
peak current and reduces its switching
frequency to 25kHz to minimize switching loss.
When the output power falls below a given level,
the regulator enters burst mode. The HF500-15
uses frequency jittering to improve EMI
performance.
Fixed Frequency with Jittering
Frequency jittering reduces EMI by spreading
out the energy. Figure 2 shows the frequency
jitter circuit.

Frequency Foldback
To achieve high efficiency during all load
conditions, the HF500-15 implements frequency
foldback during light-load conditions.
When the load decreases to a given level, the
regulator freezes the VFOLD peak current and
reduces the charging current, dropping its
switching frequency down to 25kHz and
reducing switching loss. If the load continues to
decrease, the peak current decreases with a
25kHz fixed frequency to avoid audible noise.

Current-Mode Operation with Slope
Compensation
The primary peak current is controlled by the
FB voltage. When the peak current reaches the
level determined by FB, the MOSFET turns off.
Also, the regulator operates in continuous
conduction mode (CCM) with a wide input
voltage range. Its internal synchronous slope
compensation (SRAMP) helps avoid subharmonic
oscillation when the duty cycle is larger than
50% at CCM.
High-Voltage Start-Up Current Source

Initially, the IC is self-supplied by the internal
high-voltage current source, which is drawn
from DRAIN. The IC turns off the current source

once the voltage on VCC reaches VCCOFF. If
the voltage on VCC falls below VCCUVLO, the
switching pulse stops, and the current source
turns on again. The auxiliary winding takes over
the power supply for the IC when the output
voltage rises normally to the set voltage. The
lower threshold of VCC UVLO is pulled down
from VCCUVLO to VCCPRO when a fault condition
occurs, such as OLP, SCP, brownout, OVP,
OTP, etc (see Figure 5).

An offset voltage proportional to the B/O

Soft Start (SS)
To reduce the stress on the power components
and smoothly establish the output voltage, the
TIMER voltage increases from 1V to 1.75V with
a 1/4 charge current during normal operation at
every start-up. The TIMER voltage increases
the peak current from 0.25V to 1V gradually..
The switching frequency also increases
gradually. Figure 6 shows the typical waveform
of a soft start.

Timer Based Overload Protection (OLP)
If the switching frequency is fixed in a flyback
converter, the maximum output power is limited
by the peak current. When the output
consumes more than the limited power, the
output voltage drops below the set value. The
current flowing through the primary and
secondary optocoupler is then reduced, and the
FB voltage is pulled high (see Figure 8).

The start-up duration can be adjusted by the

capacitor determines the start-up duration,

Burst Operation
The HF500-15 uses burst-mode operation to
minimize the power dissipation in no-load or
light-load conditions. As the load decreases, the
FB voltage decreases. The IC stops the
switching cycle when the FB voltage drops
below the lower threshold (VBURL); the FB
increases again once the output voltage drops.
Switching resumes once the FB voltage
exceeds the threshold (VBURH). The FB voltage
then falls and rises repeatedly. Burst-mode
operation alternately enables and disables the
switching cycle of the MOSFET, thereby
reducing switching loss at no-load or light-load
conditions.

HF500-15 – FULL-FEATURED FLYBACK REGULATOR
FB rising higher than VOLP is considered an
error flag and causes the timer to start counting
the rising edge of VQ. When the error flag is
removed, the timer resets. When the timer
reaches completion after it has counted to 16, it
enters OLP. This timer duration does not trigger
the OLP function when the power supply is
starting up or during a load transition phase.
Figure 9 shows the OLP function.
TIMER Protection
The HF500-15 is latched off by pulling TIMER
below VTIMER(LATCH) for TLATCH. This allows TIMER
to be used for external OVP and OTP functions
by adding an external compact circuit.

VCC Over-Voltage Protection (OVP)
The HF500-15 enters a latched fault condition if
the VCC voltage rises above VOVP for TOVP. The
regulator remains fully latched until VCC drops
below VCCLATCH (e.g. the user unplugs the
power supply from the main input and plugs it
back in). Usually, this situation occurs when the
optocoupler fails, resulting in the loss of the
output voltage regulation.
Over load takes place here
OLP occurs here
Figure 9: Overload Protection Function
Input Brownout and Input OVP
The input brownout and input OVP can be
realized by B/O. If the B/O voltage is higher
than VB/O_IN during the input voltage rising
period, the IC begins operating. If the B/O
voltage is lower than VB/O_OUT for TB/O (CTIMER =
47nF), the IC stops operation. If the voltage on
B/O is higher than OVPB/O for TOVPB/O, the IC
stops operating, achieving the input OVP. If the
voltage on B/O is higher than VDIS, it disables
the input brownout and input OVP functions. To
simplify the external circuit, connect B/O to
VCC through a resistor if the input brownout,
over-power compensation, and the input OVP
functions are not desired.
Short-Circuit Protection (SCP)
The HF500-15 features a short-circuit
protection that senses the SOURCE voltage
and stops switching if VSOURCE reaches VSCP
after a reduced leading-edge blanking time
(TLEB2). Once the fault disappears, the power
supply resumes operation.
Leading-Edge Blanking (LEB)
An internal leading-edge blanking (LEB) unit
containing two LEB times is placed between
SOURCE and the current comparator input to
avoid premature switching pulse termination
due to parasitic capacitances. During the
blanking time, the current comparator is
disabled and cannot turn off the external
MOSFET. Figure 10 shows the LEB waveform.

Thermal Shutdown
The HF500-15 uses thermal shutdown to turn
off the switching cycle when the inner
temperature exceeds TOTP. As soon as the inner
temperature drops below TOTP(HYS), the power
supply resumes operation. During thermal
shutdown, the VCC UVLO lower threshold is
pulled down from VCCUVLO to VCCPRO.

HF500-15 – FULL-FEATURED FLYBACK REGULATOR
APPLICATION INFORMATION
For CCM at a minimum input, calculate the
converter duty cycle with Equation (7):
VCC Capacitor Selection
When the input voltage is applied, the VCC
capacitor is charged up by the IC internal highvoltage current source. Set the output voltage
before the VCC voltage drops below VCCUVLO.
Otherwise, VCC charges and discharges
repeatedly, and the output voltage cannot be set
normally. For most applications, choose a VCC
capacitor value between 10µF and 47µF. The
value for the VCC capacitor can be estimated
with Equation (5):

Where VF is the secondary diode’s forward
voltage, N is the transformer turn ratio, and

capacitor.

Primary-Side Inductor Design (Lm)
The HF500-15 uses an internal slope
compensation to support CCM when the duty
cycle exceeds 50%. Set a ratio (KP) of the
primary inductor’s ripple current amplitude vs. the
peak current value to 0 < KP 1, where KP = 1 for
DCM. Figure 11 shows the relevant waveforms.
A larger inductor leads to a smaller KP, which
reduces the RMS current, but increases
transformer size. An optimal KP value is between
0.7 and 0.8 for the universal input range and
CrCM or DCM for the 230VAC input range.
The average value of the primary current can be
calculated with Equation (9):

turned off.

Equation (2) describes the jitter period in theory.
A smaller fjitter is more effective for EMI reduction.
However, the measurement bandwidth requires
fjitter to be large compared to the spectrum
analyzer RBW for effective EMI reduction. Also,
fjitter should be less than the control loop gain

output voltage regulation.

The capacitor on TIMER determines the period of
the frequency jitter. A 10µA current source
charges the capacitor when the TIMER voltage
reaches 3.2V, and another 10µA current source
discharges the capacitor to 2.8V. This charging
and discharging cycle repeats.

The TIMER capacitor must be selected carefully.
A capacitor that is too large may cause the startup to fail at full load because of the long, soft
start-up duration, shown in Equation (3).
However, a TIMER capacitor that is too small
causes the timer period to decrease, which
overloads the timer count capability and may
cause logic problems. For most applications, a
fjitter between 200Hz and 400Hz is recommended.
Ramp Compensation
In peak current control, subharmonic oscillation
occurs when D > 0.5 in CCM. The HF500-15
solves this problem with internal ramp
compensation. Calculate α with Equation (17).
For stable operation, α must be less than 1:

PCB Layout Guidelines
Efficient PCB layout is critical for stable operation,
good EMI performance, and good thermal
performance. For best results refer to Figure 13
and follow the guidelines below:
1. Minimize the power stage loop area for better
EMI performance. This includes the input
loop (C4 - T1 - U1 - R2/R4 - C4), the auxiliary
winding loop (T1 - D7 - R12 - C7 - T1), the
output loop (T1 - D8 - C10 - T1), and the
RCD snubber loop (T1 - R9 - D6 - R10/C6 T1).

2. Keep the input loop GND and the control
circuit GND separate and only connect them
at C4. Otherwise, the IC operation may be
influenced by noise.
3. Place the control circuit capacitors (such as
those for FB, B/O, and VCC) close to the IC
to decouple noise effectively.
4. Place a larger source area around the IC to
improve thermal performance, if needed.
