NCP1201
PWM Current-- Mode
Controller for Universal
Off-- Line Supplies Featuring
Low Standby Power with
Fault Protection Modes
Housed in SOIC--8 or PDIP--8 package, the NCP1201 enhances the
previous NCP1200 series by offering a reduced optocoupler current with
additional Brownout Detection Protection (BOK). Similarly, the circuit
allows the implementation of complete off--line AC--DC adapters, battery
chargers or Switchmode Power Supplies (SMPS) where standby power is
a key parameter.
The NCP1201 features efficient protection circuitry. When in the
presence of a fault (e.g. failed optocoupler, overcurrent condition, etc.)
the control permanently disables the output pulses to avoid subsequent
damage to the system. The IC only restarts when the user cycles the
mains power supply.
With the low power internal structure, operating at a fixed
60 or 100 kHz, the controller supplies itself from the high--voltage rail,
avoiding the need of an auxiliary winding. This feature naturally eases
the designer’s task in battery charger applications. Finally, current--mode
control provides an excellent audio--susceptibility and inherent
pulse--by--pulse control.
When the load current falls down to a pre--defined setpoint (VSKIP)
value, e.g. the output power demand diminishes, the IC automatically
enters the skip cycle mode and can provide excellent efficiency under
light load conditions. The skip mode is designed to operate at relatively
lower peak current so that acoustic noise that commonly takes place will
not happen with NCP1201.

NCP1201
DETAILED OPERATING DESCRIPTION
Introduction
The NCP1201 implements a standard current mode
architecture where the switch--off time is dictated by the peak
current setpoint. This component represents the ideal
candidate where low part--count is the key criteria,
particularly in low--cost AC--DC adapters, auxiliary supplies
etc. Due to its high--performance High--Voltage technology,
the NCP1201 incorporates all the necessary components
normally needed in UC384X based supplies: timing
components, feedback devices, low--pass filter and
self--supply. This later point emphasizes the fact that
ON Semiconductor’s NCP1201 does NOT need an auxiliary
winding to operate: the device is self supplied from the
high--voltage rail and delivers a VCC to the IC. This system
is named the Dynamic Self--Supply (DSS).
Vripple = 2 V
Dynamic Self--Supply
The DSS principle is based on the charge/discharge of the
VCC bulk capacitor from a low level up to a higher level. We
can easily describe the current source operation following
simple logic equations:
POWER--ON: IF VCC < VCCOFF THEN
Current Source is ON, no output pulses
IF VCC decreasing > VCCON THEN
Current Source is OFF, output is pulsing
IF VCC increasing < VCCOFF THEN
Current Source is ON, output is pulsing
Typical values are: VCCOFF = 12.5 V, VCCON = 10.5 V
To better understand the operation principle, Figure 27
sketch offers the necessary explanation,
VCCOFF = 12.5 V
VCC
VCCON = 10.5 V

Figure 27. The Charge/Discharge Cycle Over a 10 mF VCC Capacitor
The DSS behavior actually depends on the internal IC
consumption and the MOSFET’s gate charge Qg. If we
select a MOSFET like the MTP2N60E, Qg max equals
22 nC. With a maximum switching frequency of 70 kHz for
the oscillator 60 kHz, the average power necessary to drive
the MOSFET (excluding the driver efficiency and
neglecting various voltage drops) is:
Pdriver = Fsw(max) × Qg × VCC
The total standby power consumption at no--load will
therefore heavily rely on the internal IC current
consumption plus the driving current (altered by the driver’s
efficiency). Suppose that the IC is supplied from a 350 VDC
line. The current flowing through pin 8 is a direct image of
the NCP1201 current consumption (neglecting the
switching losses of the HV current source). If ICC2 equals
2.1 mA @ TA = 25C, then the power dissipated (lost) by the
IC is simply: 350 V x 2.1 mA = 735 mW. For design and
reliability reasons, it would be interesting to reduce this
source of wasted power. In order to achieve that, different
methods can be used.
1. Use a MOSFET with lower gate charge Qg;
2. Connect pin through a diode (1N4007 typically) to
one of the mains input. The average value on pin 8
becomes:
(eq. 1)
Where,
Pdriver = Average Power to drive the MOSFET
Fsw(max) = Maximum switching frequency
Qg = MOSFET’s gate charge
VCC = VGS level applied to the gate of the MOSFET
To obtain an estimation of the driving current, simply
divide Pdriver by VCC,
VmainsPEAK × 2

Idriver = Fsw(max) × Qg = 1.54 mA (eq. 2)

Skipping Cycle Mode
The NCP1201 automatically skips switching cycles when
the output power demand drops below a preset level. This is
accomplished by monitoring the FB pin. In normal
operation, FB pin imposes a peak current according to the
load value. If the load demand decreases, the internal loop
asks for less peak current. When this set--point reaches the
skip mode threshold level, 1.07 V, the IC prevents the
current from decreasing further down and starts to blank the
output pulses, i.e. the controller enters the so--called Skip
Cycle Mode, also named Controlled Burst Operation. The
power transfer now depends upon the width of the pulse
bunches, Figure 29.
Suppose we have the following component values:
Lp, primary inductance = 1.0 mH
Fsw, switching frequency = 60 kHz
Ip (skip) = 200 mA (or 333 mV/Rsense)
The theoretical power transfer is therefore:
Our power contribution example drops to 223 V x 2.1 m
= 468.3 mW. If a resistor is installed between the mains and
the diode, you further force the dissipation to migrate from
the package to the resistor. The resistor value should be
carefully selected to account for low--line startup.

3. Permanently force the VCC level above VCCOFF
with an auxiliary winding. It will automatically
disconnect the internal startup source and the IC
will be fully self--supplied from this winding.
Again, the total power drawn from the mains will
significantly decrease. By using this approach,
user need to make sure the auxiliary voltage never
exceeds the 16 V limit for all line conditions.
(eq. 4)
If the controller enters Skip Cycle Mode with a pulse packet
length of 20 ms over a recurrent period of 100 ms, then the
total power transfer reduced to 1.2 W x 0.2 = 240 mW.
To better understand how this Skip Cycle Mode takes
place, a look at the operation mode versus the FB pin voltage
level shown below, immediately gives the necessary insight.

Figure 29. Feedback Pin Voltage and Modes of Operation
When FB pin voltage level is above the skip cycle threshold
(1.07 V by default), the peak current cannot exceed
0.9 V/Rsense. When the IC enters the skip cycle mode, the
peak current cannot go below VSKIP/3.3. By using the peak
current limit reduction scheme, the skip cycle takes place at
a lower peak current, which guarantees noise free operation.
