NCP1238 Fixed Frequency Current Mode Controller for Flyback Converters The NCP1238 is a new generation of the NCP12xx fixed−frequency current−mode controllers featuring Dynamic Self−Supply (DSS), pin−to−pin compatible with the previous generation. The DSS function greatly simplifies the design of the auxiliary supply and the VCC capacitor by activating the internal startup current source to supply the controller during transients. Due to its proprietary Soft−Skip™ mode combined with frequency foldback, the controller exhibits excellent efficiency in light load condition while still achieving very low standby power consumption. This Soft−Skip feature also dramatically reduces the risk of acoustic noise, which enables the use of inexpensive transformers and capacitors in the clamping network. Internal frequency jittering, ramp compensation, and a versatile latch input make this controller an excellent candidate for converters where ruggedness and components cost are the key constraints. In addition, the controller includes a new high voltage circuitry that combines a startup current source and a brown−out / line OVP detector able to sense the input voltage either from the rectified ac line or the dc filtered bulk voltage. Finally, due to a careful design, the precision of critical parameters is well controlled over the entire temperature range (−40°C to +125°C), enabling easier design and increased safety (e.g. ±5% for the peak current limit, ±7% for the oscillator).

It is particularly well suited for applications where low part count is a key parameter, without sacrificing safety. • Current−Mode Operation with slope compensation: The primary peak current is permanently controlled by the FB voltage, ensuring maximum safety: the DRV turn−off event is dictated by the peak current setpoint. It also ensures that the frequency response of the system remains first order if in DCM, which eases the design of the feedback loop. The controller can also be used in CCM with a wide input voltage range due to its fixed ramp compensation that prevents the appearance of sub−harmonic oscillations in most of the applications. • Fixed−Frequency Oscillator with Jittering: The NCP1238 is available in various frequency options to fit any application. The internal oscillator features a low−frequency jittering that helps to pass the EMI requirements by spreading out the energy content of frequency peaks in quasi−peak and average mode. • Latched / Autorecovery Timer−Based Overcurrent Protection: The overcurrent protection depends only on the FB signal, enabling it to work with any transformer, even with very poor coupling or high leakage inductance. The protection is fully latched on the A version (the power supply has to be unplugged then restarted in order to resume operation, even if the overload condition disappears), and autorecovery on the B version. The timer’s duration is fixed. The controller also enters the same protection mode if the voltage on the CS pin reaches 1.5 times the maximum internal setpoint, which enables to detect winding short circuits. • High Voltage Startup Current Source with Brown−Out and Line Overvoltage Detections: Due to On Semiconductor’s Very High Voltage technology, the NCP1238 can directly be connected to the high input voltage. The startup current source ensures a clean startup while ensuring low losses when it is off, and the Dynamic Self−Supply (DSS) restarts the startup current source to supply the controller if the VCC supply transiently drops. The high voltage pin also features a high−voltage sensing circuitry, which is able to turn the controller off if the input voltage is too low (brown−out condition) or too high (line overvoltage). This protection works either with a DC input voltage or a rectified AC input voltage, and is independent of the high voltage ripple. It uses a peak detector synchronized with line frequency, or with the internal watchdog timer if the HV pin is tied to a dc voltage. • Adjustable Overpower Compensation: The high • • • • • • voltage sensed on the HV pin is converted into a current to add to the current sense voltage an offset proportional to the input voltage. By choosing the value of the resistor in series with the CS pin, the amount of compensation can be adjusted to the application. Frequency foldback then Soft−Skip mode for light load operation: In order to ensure a high efficiency in all load conditions, the NCP1238 implements a frequency foldback (the switching frequency is lowered to reduce switching losses) for light load condition; and a Soft−Skip (disabled in case of fast load transients) for extremely low load condition. Extended VCC range: The NCP1238 accepts a supply voltage as high as 28 V, making the design of the power supply easier. Clamped Driver Stage: Despite the high supply voltage, the voltage on DRV pin is safely clamped below 16 V; allowing the use of any standard MOSFET, and reducing the current consumption of the controller. Dual Latch−off Input: The NCP1238 can be latched off by an increasing voltage applied to its Latch pin (typically an overvoltage) or by a decreasing one, and an NTC can be directly connected to the latch pin thanks to the precise internal current source. Soft−Start: At every startup the peak current is gradually increased during 4 ms to minimize the stress on power components. Temperature Shutdown: The NCP1238 is internally protected against self−heating: if the die temperature is too high, the controller shuts all circuitries down (including the HV startup current source), allowing the silicon to cool down before attempting to restart. This ensures a safe behavior in case of failure. Typical Operation • Startup: The HV startup current source ensures the • charging of the VCC capacitor up to the startup threshold VCC(on), until the input voltage is high enough (above VHV(start)) to enable the switching. The controller then delivers pulses, starting with a soft−start period tSSTART during which the peak current linearly increases before the current−mode control takes over. During the soft−start period, the low level latch is ignored, and the latch current is double, to ensure a fast pre−charge of the decoupling capacitor on the Latch pin. Normal operation: As long as the feedback voltage is within the regulation range, the NCP1238 runs at a fixed frequency (with jittering) in current−mode control, where the peak current (sensed on the CS pin) http://onsemi.com 8 NCP1238 is set by the voltage on the FB pin. A fixed ramp compensation is applied internally to prevent sub−harmonic oscillations from occurring. The VCC must be supplied by an external source (such as an auxiliary winding), as the startup current source cannot permanently supply the controller without overheating. Light load operation: When the FB voltage decreases below VFB(fold), typically corresponding to a load of 16% of the maximum load (for a DCM design), the switching frequency starts to decrease down to fOSC(min). By lowering the switching losses, this feature helps to improve the efficiency in light load conditions. The frequency jittering is disabled in light load operation. No load operation: When the FB voltage decreases below Vskip(in), typically corresponding to a load of 1% of the maximum load, the controller enters Skip mode. By completely stopping the switching while the feedback voltage is below Vskip(out), the losses are further reduced, allowing to minimize the power dissipation under extremely low load conditions. In order to avoid audible noise, the peak current is gradually increased during the tSSKIP duration while exiting the skip mode (Soft−Skip function). In case of abrupt load increase during Soft−Skip mode, the soft−skip portion is bypassed and the peak current needed for regulation is directly applied. VCC can be maintained between VCC(on) and VCC(min) by the DSS. • Overload: The NCP1238 features a timer−based • • • • overload detection, solely dependent on the feedback information: as soon as the internal peak current setpoint hits the VILIM clamp, the internal overload timer starts to count. When the timer times out, the controller stops and enter the protection mode, autorecovery for the B version (the controller initiates a new start−up after tautorec elapses), or latched for the A version (the latch is released if a brown−out event occurs or VCC is reset). Brown−out: The NCP1238 features on its HV pin a true AC line monitoring circuitry which includes minimum startup threshold, brown−out protection, and overvoltage protection. All of these circuits are autorecovery and operate independently of any ripple on the input voltage. They can even work with an unfiltered, rectified AC input. All thresholds are fixed, but they are designed to fit most of the standard ac−dc conversion applications. Latch−off: When the Latch input is pulled up (typically by an overvoltage condition), or pulled low (typically by an overtemperature condition, using the provided current source with an NTC), the controller latches off. The latch is released when a brown−out condition occurs, or when VCC decreases below VCC(reset). http://onsemi.com 9 NCP1238 DETAILED DESCRIPTION High−Voltage Current Source (Dynamic Self−Supply) with Built−in Brown−out Detection The NCP1238 HV pin can be connected either to the rectified bulk voltage, or to the ac line through a rectifier.

HV Startup Current Source Functional Schematic http://onsemi.com 10 NCP1238 At startup, the current source turns on when the voltage on the HV pin is higher than VHV(min), and turns off when VCC reaches VCC(on). It turns on again when VCC reaches VCC(min). This sequence repeats until the input voltage is high enough to ensure a proper startup, i.e. when VHV reaches VHV(start). The switching actually starts the next time VCC reaches VCC(on), as shown in Figure 5. Even though the DSS is able to maintain the VCC voltage between VCC(on) and VCC(min) by turning the HV startup current source on and off, it can only be used in light load conditions, otherwise the power dissipation on the die would be too high. As a result, an auxiliary voltage source is needed to supply VCC during normal operation. The DSS is useful to keep the controller alive when no switching pulses are delivered, e.g. in a brown−out condition, or to prevent the controller from stopping during load transients when the VCC might drop below VCC(off).

Startup Timing Diagram time http://onsemi.com 11 NCP1238 To reduce the power dissipation in case the VCC pin is shorted to GND (in case of VCC capacitor failure, or external pulldown on VCC to disable the controller), the startup current is lowered when VCC is below VCC(inhibit). There are only two conditions for which the current source doesn’t turn on when VCC reaches VCC(min): the voltage on HV pin is too low (below VHV(min)), or a thermal shutdown condition (TSD) has been detected. In all other conditions, the HV current source always turns on and off to maintain VCC between VCC(min) and VCC(on). Brown−out and Line Overvoltage When the input voltage goes below VHV(stop), a brown−out condition is detected, and the controller stops. The HV current source alternatively turns on and off to maintain VCC between VCC(on) and VCC(min) until the input voltage is back above VHV(start). The same situation occurs when an overvoltage is detected on the ac line, i.e. when the input voltage goes above VHV(OV): the controller stops, and resumes normal operation when the overvoltage condition has gone.

The maximum duty ratio of the DRV pin is 80% (typical), with an accuracy of $7%. In order to improve the EMI signature, the switching frequency jitters around its nominal value, with a triangle−wave shape. fOSC fOSC + Ajitter Nominal fOSC fOSC - Ajitter 1 / Fjitter Figure 9. Frequency Jittering Clamped Driver Time The supply voltage for the NCP1238 can be as high as 28 V, but most of the MOSFETs that will be connected to the DRV pin cannot tolerate a gate−to−source voltage greater than 20 V on their gate. The driver pin is therefore clamped safely below 16 V. This driver has a typical current capability of ±1.0 A. VCC Clamp DRV signal DRV Figure 10. Clamped Driver http://onsemi.com 15 NCP1238 CURRENT−MODE CONTROL WITH OVERPOWER COMPENSATION AND SOFT−START Current Sensing NCP1238 is a current−mode controller, which means that the FB voltage sets the peak current flowing in the inductance and the MOSFET. This is done through a PWM comparator: the current is sensed across a resistor and the resulting voltage is applied to the CS pin. VCS is applied to VDD KFB RFB(up) + − PWM one input of the PWM comparator through the LEB block. On the other input the FB voltage divided by KFB sets the threshold: when VCS reaches this threshold, the output driver is turned off. The maximum value for the peak current, VILIM, is set by a dedicated comparator.

Current Sense Block Schematic http://onsemi.com 16 NCP1238 Each time the controller is starting (i.e. the controller was off and starts, or restarts, when VCC reaches VCC(on)), a soft−start is applied: the current sense setpoint is linearly increased from 0 (the minimum level can be higher than 0 because of the LEB and propagation delay) until it reaches VILIM (after a duration of tSSTART), or until the FB loop imposes a setpoint lower than the one imposed by the soft−start (the 2 comparators outputs are OR’ed). VFB VFB(fault) Time Soft-start ramp VFB takes over soft-start VILIM tSSTART CS Setpoint Time VILIMI Figure 12. Soft−Start Time Under some conditions, like a winding short−circuit for instance, not all the energy stored during the on time is transferred to the output during the off time, even if the on time duration is at its minimum (imposed by the propagation delay of the detector added to the LEB duration). As a result, the current sense voltage keeps on increasing above VILIM, because the controller is blind during the LEB blanking time. Dangerously high current can grow in the system if nothing is done to stop the controller. In order to protect against this, an additional comparator is included, that senses when VCS reaches VCS(stop) ( = 1.5 x VILIM ). As soon as this comparator toggles, the controller immediately enters the protection mode (latched or autorecovery according to the chosen option). http://onsemi.com 17 NCP1238 Compensation for Overpower Detection The power delivered by a flyback power supply is proportional to the square of the peak current: P OUT + 1 @ h @ L P @ F SW @ IP 2 2 (eq. 1) Unfortunately, due to the inherent propagation delay of the logic, the actual peak current is higher at high input voltage than at low input voltage, as shown in Figure 13. This leads to a significant difference in the maximum output power delivered by the power supply. (in discontinuous conduction mode). IP IP to be compensated High Line ILIMIT Low Line time tdelay tdelay Figure 13. Line Compensation for True Overpower Protection To compensate this and have an accurate overpower protection, an offset proportional to the input voltage is added to the CS signal by turning on an internal current source (IOPC): by adding an external resistor (ROPC) in series between the sense resistor and the CS pin, a voltage offset is created across it by the current. The compensation can be adjusted by changing the value of the ROPC resistor. Since in light load conditions this offset is in the same order of magnitude as the current sense signal, it must be removed. Therefore the compensation current is only added when the FB voltage is higher than VFB(OPC), as shown in Figure 15.

The slope appearing on the internal voltage setpoint for the PWM comparator is −32.5 mV/ms typical for the 65 kHz version (and respectively −50 mV/ms and −67 mV/ms for the 100 kHz and 133 kHz versions). http://onsemi.com 19 NCP1238 OVERCURRENT PROTECTION WITH FAULT TIMER Classical Overcurrent Protection When an overcurrent occurs on the output of the power supply, the feedback loop asks for more power than the controller can deliver, and the CS setpoint reaches VILIM. When this event occurs, an internal tfault timer is started: once the timer times out, DRV pulses are stopped and the controller is either latched off (latched protection, Version A), or it enters an autorecovery mode (Version B). The timer is reset when the CS setpoint goes back below VILIM before the timer elapses. The fault timer is also started if the driver signal is reset by the max duty ratio.

This frequency foldback starts when the voltage on FB pin VFB goes below VFB(fold), and is complete before VFB reaches Vskip(in), whatever the nominal switching frequency option is. The current−mode control is still active while the oscillator frequency decreases, but the frequency jittering is off. Note that the frequency foldback is disabled if the controller runs at its maximum duty cycle. fOSC Nominal fOSC Skip fOSC(min) FB Vskip(in) VFB(fold) Figure 20.

Skip Cycle with Soft−Skip Schematic When VFB reaches Vskip(in) while decreasing, the skip mode is activated: the driver stops, and the internal consumption of the controller is decreased. While VFB is below Vskip(out), the controller remains in this state. When VFB crosses Vskip(out), the DRV pin starts to pulse again, and the controller restarts with a short Soft−Skip duration (tSSKIP). The soft−skip imposes the peak current from nearly 0, in a voltage−mode manner: it doesn’t have the same behavior as the startup soft−start which is current−mode driven. http://onsemi.com 23 NCP1238 VFB VFB(fold) Vskip(out) Vskip(in) Exits skip Enters skip Time Enters skip Exits soft-skip Exits skip DRV Time CS setpoint Soft-skip Softskip Figure 22. Skip Cycle with Soft−Skip Timing Diagram Time If during the Soft−Skip duration the FB voltage goes above VFB(fold), the Soft−Skip ends instantaneously, and the peak current follows the setpoint imposed by the current−mode control. This transient load detection feature avoids large output voltage drops if a load transient occurs while the controller is in soft−skip mode. http://onsemi.com 24 NCP1238 Latch−off Input VDD INTC INTC + + − blanking tLatch(OVP) VOVP Latch 1 kW Vclamp + − + blanking tLatch(OTP) S Q R Latch VOTP Brown−out Reset Soft−start end Figure 23. Latch Detection Schematic The Latch pin is dedicated to the latch−off function. It includes two thresholds that define a working window, between a high latch and a low latch. Within these 2 thresholds; the controller is allowed to run; but as soon as either the low or the high threshold is crossed, the controller is latched off. The lower threshold is intended to be used with an NTC thermistor, with the internal current source INTC providing the necessary bias current. An active clamp prevents the voltage from reaching the high threshold if it is only pulled up by the ILatch current. To reach the high threshold, the pullup current has to be higher than the pulldown capability of the clamp (typically 1.5 mA at VOVP). To avoid any false triggering, noise spikes shorter than tLatch(OVP) or tLatch(OTP) respectively are blanked, and only longer events can actually latch the controller. Reset occurs when a brown−out condition is detected or the VCC is cycled down to a VCC(reset), which in a real application can only happen if the power supply is unplugged from the AC line. Upon startup, the internal references take some time before reaching their nominal values; and one of the comparators could toggle inadvertantly. Therefore the internal logic ignores the latch signal before the controller is ready to start. Once VCC reaches VCC(on), the latch pin High latch state is enabled and the DRV switching starts only if it is allowed; whereas the Low latch (typically sensing an overtemperature) is taken into account only after the soft−start is finished. In addition, the NTC current is doubled during the soft−start period, to speed up the charging of the Latch pin capacitor. http://onsemi.com 25 NCP1238 VCC VCC(on) VCC(min) Start-up initiated by VCC(on) Internal Latch Signal Latch signal high during pre-start phase Noise spike ignored (tLatch blanking) time time DRV Switching allowed (no latch event) Latch-off Figure 24. Latch−off Function Timing Diagram Temperature shutdown time The die includes a temperature shutdown protection with a turn−off threshold guaranteed between 140°C and 160°C, and a typical hysteresis of 30°C. When the temperature rises above the high threshold, the controller stops switching instantaneously, the HV current source is turned off, and the internal logic state is reset. When the temperature falls below the low threshold, the HV startup current source is enabled, and a regular startup sequence takes place. http://onsemi.com 26 NCP1238 STATE DIAGRAMS HV Startup Current Source VCC > VCC(inhibit) No TSD Istart1 VCC < VCC(inhibit) TSD TSD Stop Istart2 TSD VCC < VCC(min) VCC > VCC(on) TSD Off Figure 25.
