NCP1205
Single Ended PWM
Controller Featuring QR
Operation and Soft
Frequency Foldback
The NCP1205 combines a true Current Mode Control modulator
and a demagnetization detector to ensure full Discontinuous
Conduction Mode in any load/line conditions and minimum drain
voltage switching (Quasi--Resonant operation, also called critical
conduction operation). With its inherent Variable Frequency Mode
(VFM), the controller decreases its operating frequency at constant
peak current whenever the output power demand diminishes.
Associated with automatic multiple valley switching, this unique
architecture guarantees minimum switching losses and the lowest
power drawn from the mains when operating at no--load conditions.
Thus, the NCP1205 is optimal for applications targeting the newest
International Energy Agency (IEA) recommendations for standby
power.
The internal High--Voltage current source provides a reliable
charging path for the VCC capacitor and ensures a clean and short
startup sequence without deteriorating the efficiency once off.
The continuous feedback signal monitoring implemented with an
Overcurrent fault Protection circuitry (OCP) makes the final design
rugged and reliable. The PDIP--14 offers an adjustable version of the
OVP threshold via an external resistive network.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Introduction
By implementing a unique smooth frequency reduction
technique, the NCP1205 represents a major leap toward
low--power Switchmode Power Supply (SMPS) integrated
management. The circuit combines free--running operation
with minimum drain--source switching (so--called valley
switching), which naturally reduces the peak current stress
as well as the ElectroMagnetic Interferences (EMI). At
nominal output power, the circuit implements a traditional
current--mode SMPS whose peak current setpoint is given
by the feedback signal. However, rather than keeping the
switching frequency constant, each cycle is initiated by the
end of the primary demagnetization. The system therefore
operates at the boundary between Discontinuous
Conduction Mode (DCM) and Continuous Conduction
Mode (CCM). Figure 10 details this terminology:

Figure 10. Defining the Conduction Mode, Discontinuous, Continuous and Borderline
valley switching. We will see later on how this is internally
implemented.
The FLYBACK operation is mainly defined through a
simple formula:
When the output power demands decreases, the natural
switching frequency raises. As a natural result, switching
losses also increase and degrade the SMPS efficiency. To
overcome this problem, the maximum switching frequency
of the NCP1205 is clamped to typically 125 kHz. When the
free running mode (also called Borderline Control Mode,
BCM) reaches this clamp value, an internal
Voltage--Controlled Oscillator (VCO) takes over and starts
to decrease the switching frequency: we are in Variable
Frequency Mode (VFM). Please note that during this
transition phase, the peak current is not fixed but is still
decreasing because the output power demand does. At a
given state, the peak current reaches a minimum peak
(typically 250 mV/Rsense), and cannot go further down: the
switching frequency continues its decrease down to a
possible minimum of 0 Hz (the IC simply stops switching).
During normal free--running operation and VFM, the
controller always ensures single or multiple drain--source
Pout = 1 · Lp · Ip2 · Fsw
2
(eq. 1)
With:
Lp the primary transformer inductance (also called the
magnetizing inductance)
Ip the peak current at which the MOSFET is turned off
Fsw the nominal switching frequency
To adjust the transmitted power, the PWM controller can
play on the switching frequency or the peak current setpoint.
To refine the control, the NCP1205 offers the ability to play
on both parameters either altogether on an individual basis.

NCP1205
Detailed Description
The following sections describe the internal behavior of
the NCP1205.
In order to clarify the device behavior, we can distinguish the
following simplified operating phases:
1. The load is at its nominal value. The SMPS operates in
borderline conduction mode and the switching
frequency is imposed by the external elements (Vin,
Lp, Ip, Vout). The MOSFET is turned on at the
minimum drain--source level.
2. The load starts to decrease and the free--running
frequency hits the internal clamp.
3. The frequency can no longer naturally increase
because of the clamp. The frequency is now controlled
by the internal VCO but remains constant. The peak
current finds no other option that diminishing to satisfy
equation (1).
4. The peak current has reached the internal minimum
ceiling level and is now frozen for the remaining
cycles.
5. To further reduce the transmitted power (VFB goes up),
the VCO decreases the switching frequency. In case of
output overshoot, the VCO could decrease the
frequency down to zero. When the overshoot has gone,
VFB diminishes again and the IC smoothly resumes its
operation.
Free--Running Operation
As previously said, the operating frequency at nominal load
is dictated by the external elements. We can split the different
switching sections in two separated instants. In the following
text we use the internal error voltage, Verr. This level is
elaborated in Figure 13. Verr is linked to VFB (pin 4) by the
following formula:
Verr = 10 − 3 · VFB
(eq. 2)
ON time: The ON time is given by the time it takes to
reach the peak current setpoint imposed by the level on FB
pin (pin 4). Since this level is internally divided by three, the
peak setpoint is simply:
Ipk =
1
· Verr
3 · Rsense
(eq. 3)
The rising slope of the peak current is also dependent on
the inductance value and the rectified DC input voltage by:
dIL
VinDC
=
dt
Lp
(eq. 4)
By combining both equations, we obtain the ON time
definition:
Advantages of the Method
By implementing the aforementioned control scheme, the
NCP1205 brings the following advantages:
Discontinuous only operation: in DCM, the Flyback is
a first order system (at low frequencies) and thus
naturally eases the feedback loop compensation.
A low--cost secondary rectifier can be used due to
smooth turn--off conditions.
Valley switching ensures minimum switching losses
brought by Coss and all the parasitic capacitances.
By folding back the switching frequency, you turn the
system into Pulse Duration Modulation. This method
prevents from generating uncontrolled output ripple as
with hysteretic controllers.
By letting you control the peak current value at which
the frequency goes down, you ensure that this level is
low enough to avoid transformer acoustic noise
generation even at audible frequencies.

OFF time: The time taken by the demagnetization of the
transformer depends on the reset voltage applied at the
switch opening. During the conduction time of the
secondary diode, the primary side of the transformer
undergoes a reflected voltage of: [Np/Ns . (Vf + Vout)]. This
voltage applied on the primary inductance dictates the time
needed to decrease from Ip down to zero:

Figure 11. A Typical Behavior of Free Running Systems
with a Smooth Frequency Foldback with the NCP1205
the VCO frequency decreases with a typical small--signal
slope of --175 kHz/mV @ Verr = 500 mV down to
zero (typically at FB 3.3 V). The demagnetization
synchronization is however kept when the Toff expands.
The maximum switching frequency can be altered by
adjusting the Ct capacitor on pin 5. The 125 kHz maximum
operation ensures that the fundamental component stays
external from the international EMI CISPR--22
specification beginning.
The following drawing explains the philosophy behind
the idea:
The typical above diagram shows how the frequency
moves with the output power demand. The components used
for the simulation were: Vin = 300 V, Lp = 6.5 mH,
Vout = 10 V, Np/Ns = 12.
The red line indicates where the maximum frequency is
clamped. At this time, the VCO takes over and decreases the
switching frequency to the minimum value.
VCO Operation
The VCO is controlled from the Verr voltage. For Verr
levels above 1.0 V, the VCO frequency remains unchanged
at 125 kHz. As soon as Verr starts to decrease below 1.0 V,

NCP1205
Zero Crossing Detector
To detect the zero primary current, we make use of an
auxiliary winding. By coupling this winding to the primary,
we have a voltage image of the flux activity in the core.
Figure 10 details the shape of the signal in BCM (L = Lc).
The auxiliary winding for demagnetization needs to
be wired in Forward mode. However, the application
note describes an alternative solution showing how to wire
the winding in Flyback as well. As Figure 13 depicts, when
the MOSFET closes, the auxiliary winding delivers
(Naux/Np . Vin). At the switch opening, we couple the
auxiliary winding to the main output power winding and
thus deliver: (--Naux/Ns . Vout). When DCM occurs, the
ringing also takes place on the auxiliary winding. As soon
as the level crosses--up the internal reference level
(65 mV), a signal is internally sent to restart the MOSFET.
Three different conditions can occur:
1. In BCM, every time the 65 mV line is crossed, the
switch is immediately turned--on. By accounting
for the internal Demag pin capacitance (10--15 pF
typical), you can introduce a fixed delay, which,
combined to the propagation delay, allows to
precisely restart in the drain--source valley
(minimum voltage to reduce capacitive losses).
2. When the IC enters VFM, the VCO delivers a
pulse which is internally latched. As soon as the
demagnetization pulse appears, the logic restarts
the MOSFET.
3. As can be seen from Figure 13, the parasitic
oscillations on the drain are subject to a natural
damping, mainly imputed to ohmic losses. At a
given point, the demag activity on the auxiliary
winding becomes too low to be detected. To avoid
any restart problem, the NCP1205 features an
internal 4.0 ms timeout delay. This timeout runs
after each demag pulse. If within 4.0 ms further to
a demag pulse no activity is detected, an internal
signal is combined with the VCO to actually
restart the MOSFET (synchronized with Ct).
Error Amplifier and Fault Detection
The NCP1205 features an internal error amplifier solely
used to detect an overcurrent problem. The application
assumes that all the error gain associated with the precise
reference level is located on the secondary side of the SMPS.
Various solutions can be purposely implemented such as the
TL431 or a dedicated circuit like the MC33341. In the
NCP1205, the internal OPAMP is used to create a virtual
ground permanently biased at 2.5 V (Figure 14), an internal
reference level. By monitoring this virtual ground further
called V(--), we have the possibility to confirm the good
behavior of the loop. If by any mean the loop is broken
(shorted optocoupler, open LED etc.) or the regulation
cannot be reached (true output short--circuit), the OPAMP
network is adjusted in order to no longer be able to ensure
the 2.5 V virtual point V(--). If V(--) passes down the 1.5 V
level (e.g. output shorted) for a time longer than 128 ms, then
the pulses are stopped for 8 x 128 ms. The IC enters a kind
of burst mode with bunch of pulses lasting 128 ms and
repeating every 8 x 128 ms. If the loop is restored within the
8 x 128 ms period, then the pulses are back again on the
output drive (synchronized with UVLOH).

Figure 14. This Typical Arrangement Allows for an Easy Fault Detection Management
connected from ground to pin 5. In normal VFM operation,
this timing capacitor serves as the VCO capacitor and the
error management circuit is transparent. As soon as an error
is detected (error flag goes high), an internal switch routes
Ct to the 128 ms generator. As a first effect, the switching
frequency is no longer controlled by the VCO (if the error
appears during VFM) and the system is relaxed to natural
BCM. The capacitor now ramps up and down to be further
divided and finally create the 128 ms delay.
To illustrate how the system reacts to a variable FB level,
we have entered the above circuit into a SPICE simulator
and observed the output waveforms. When FB is within
regulation, the error flag is low. However, as soon as FB
leaves its normal operating area, the OPAMP can no longer
keep the V(--) point and either goes to the positive top or
down to zero: the error flag goes high.
Because of the large amount of delay necessary for this
128 ms operation, the capacitor used for the timing is Ct,

Overvoltage Detection (OVP)
On the PDIP--14 and the SOIC--16 versions, an OVP pin
allows to shutdown the controller as soon as the level on this
pin exceeds 2.8V, as detailed in Figure 16. In lack of
switching pulses, the Vcc capacitor is no longer refreshed by
the auxiliary supply and slowly discharges toward ground.
When the Vcc level crosses UVLOL, a new startup sequence
occurs. If the OVP has gone, the converter resumes its
operation.

As soon as the system recovers from the error, e.g. FB is
back within its regulation area, the IC operation comes back
to normal.
To avoid any system thermal runaway, another internal
8 x 128 ms delay is combined with the previous 128 ms. It
works as follows: the 128 ms delay is provided to account for
any normal transients that engender a temporary loss of
feedback (FB goes toward ground). However, when the
128 ms period is actually over (the feedback is definitively
lost) the IC stops the output driving pulses for a typical
period of 8 x 128 ms. During this mode, the rest of the
functions are still activated. For instance, in lack of pulses,
the self--supplied being no longer provided, the startup
source turns on and off (when reaching the corresponding
UVLOL and UVLOH levels), creating an hiccup waveform
on the Vcc line. As soon as the feedback condition is
restored, the 8 x 128 ms is interrupted and, in synchronism
with the Vcc line, the IC is back to normal. The following
diagrams show how this mechanism takes place when FB is
down to zero (optocoupler opened) or up to Vcc
(optocoupler shorted). If we assume that the error is
permanently present, then a burst mode takes place with a
128/8 x 128 = 12.5% duty--cycle. The real transmitted
power is thus:

Protecting Pin 1 Against Negative Spikes
As any CMOS controller, NCP1205 is sensitive to
negative voltages that could appear on it’s pins. To avoid any
adverse latch--up of the IC, we strongly recommend
inserting a 15 k resistor in series with pin 1 and the
high--voltage rail, as shown in Figures 17 and 18. This 15 k
resistor prevents from adversely latching the controller in
case of negative spikes appearing on the bulk capacitor
during the power--off sequence. Please note that this resistor
does not dissipate any continuous power and can therefore
be of low power type. Two 8.2 k can also be wired in series
to sustain the large DC voltage present on the bulk.
