Fixed Frequency Current
Mode Controller for Flyback
Converters
NCP12400
The NCP12400 is a new fixed−frequency current−mode controller
featuring the Dynamic Self−Supply. This 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
start−up, transients, latch, stand−by etc. This device contains a special
HV detector which detects the application unplug from the ac input
line and triggers the X2 discharge current. This HV structure allows
the brown−out detection as well.
It features a timer−based fault detection that ensures the detection of
overload and an adjustable compensation to help keep the maximum
power independent of the input voltage.
Due to frequency foldback, the controller exhibits excellent
efficiency in light load condition while still achieving very low
standby power consumption. Internal frequency jittering, ramp
compensation, and a versatile latch input make this controller an
excellent candidate for the robust power supply designs.
A dedicated Off Mode allows to reach the extremely low no load
input power consumption via “sleeping” whole device and thus
minimize the power consumption of the control circuitry.

Pin Description
Pull the pin up or down to stop the controller. An internal current source allows the
direct connection of an NTC for over temperature detection. Device can restart in
autorecovery mode or can be latched depending on the option.
An optocoupler connected to ground controls the output regulation. The part goes to
the low consumption Off mode if the FB input pin is pulled to GND.
This input senses the primary current for current−mode operation, and offers an
overpower compensation adjustment. This pin implements over voltage protection
as well.
The controller ground.
Drives external MOSFET.
This supply pin accepts up to 28 Vdc, with overvoltage detection. The pin is
connected to an external auxiliary voltage.
Connects to the rectified ac line to perform the functions of start−up current source,
Self−Supply, brown−out detection and X2 capacitor discharge function and the HV
sensing for the overpower protection purposes.
It is not allowed to connect this pin to a dc voltage.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Functional Description
For loads that are between approximately 32% and 10%
of full rated power, the converter operates in frequency
foldback mode (FFM). If the feedback pin voltage is lower
than 1.4 V the peak switch current is kept constant and the
output voltage is regulated by modulating the switching
frequency for a given and fixed input voltage VHV.
Effectively, operation in FFM results in the application of
constant volt−seconds to the flyback transformer each
switching cycle. Voltage regulation in FFM is achieved by
varying the switching frequency in the range from 65 kHz
to 28 kHz. For extremely light loads (below approximately
6% full rated power), the converter is controlled using bursts
of 28 kHz pulses. This mode is known as skip mode. The
FFM, keeping constant peak current and skip mode allows
design of the power supplies with increased efficiency under
the light loading conditions. Keep in mind that the
aforementioned boundaries of steady−state operation are
approximate because they are subject to converter design
parameters.
The NCP12400 includes all necessary features to build a
safe and efficient power supply based on a fixed−frequency
flyback converter. The NCP12400 is a multimode controller
as illustrated in Figure 43. The mode of operation depends
upon line and load condition. Under all modes of operation,
the NCP12400 terminates the DRV signal based on the
switch current. Thus, the NCP12400 always operates in
current mode control so that the power MOSFET current is
always limited.
Under normal operating conditions, the FB pin commands
the operating mode of the NCP12400 at the voltage
thresholds shown in Figure 43. At normal rated operating
loads (from 100% to approximately 33% full rated power)
the NCP12400 controls the converter in a fixed−frequency
PWM mode. It can operate in the continuous conduction
mode (CCM) or discontinuous conduction mode (DCM)
depending upon the input voltage and loading conditions. If
the controller is used in CCM with a wide input voltage
range, the duty−ratio may increase up to 50%. The build−in
slope compensation prevents the appearance of
sub−harmonic oscillations in this operating area.

See the detailed status diagrams for the both versions fully
latched A and the autorecovery B on the following figures.
The basic status of the device after wake–up by the VCC is
the off mode and mode is used for the overheating protection
mode if the thermal shutdown protection is activated.
There was implemented the low consumption off mode
allowing to reach extremely low no load input power. This
mode is controlled by the FB pin and allows the remote
control (or secondary side control) of the power supply
shut−down. Most of the device internal circuitry is unbiased
in the low consumption off mode. Only the FB pin control
circuitry and X2 cap discharging circuitry is operating in the
low consumption off mode. If the voltage at feedback pin

Start−up of the Controller
The information about the fault (permanent Latch or
Autorecovery) is kept during the low consumption off mode
due the safety reason. The reason is not to allow unlatch the
device by the remote control being in off mode.
At start−up, 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), then turns on again when VCC reaches

the die would be too much. As a result, an auxiliary voltage
source is needed to supply VCC during normal operation.
The Dynamic Self−Supply is useful to keep the controller
alive when no switching pulses are delivered, e.g. in
brown−out condition, or to prevent the controller from
stopping during load transients when the VCC might drop.
The NCP12400 accepts a supply voltage as high as 28 V,
with an overvoltage threshold VCC(ovp) that latches the
controller off.
VCC(min), until the input voltage is high enough to ensure a
proper start−up, i.e. when VHV reaches VHV(start). The
controller actually starts the next time VCC reaches VCC(on).
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.
Even though the Dynamic Self−Supply is able to maintain
the VCC voltage between VCC(on) and VCC(min) by turning
the HV start−up current source on and off, it can only be used
in light load condition, otherwise the power dissipation on

source doesn’t turn on when VCC reaches VCC(inhibit): the
voltage on HV pin is too low (below VHV(min)).
For safety reasons, the start−up current is lowered when
VCC is below VCC(inhibit), to reduce the power dissipation in
case the VCC pin is shorted to GND (in case of VCC capacitor

of them independent of the ripple on the input voltage. It is

spikes induced at HV pin immediately after the device is
stopped by the residual energy in the EMI filter. The device
restart is allowed only after the 1st watch dog signal event.
The basic principle is shown at Figure 49 and detail of the
device restart is shown at Figure 50.

can start immediately. When it crosses VHV(stop), it triggers
a timer of duration tHV, this ensures that the controller

X2 Cap Discharge Feature
In case of the dc signal presence on the high voltage input,
the direct sample of the high voltage obtained via the high
voltage sensing structure and the delayed sample of the high
voltage are equivalent and the comparator produces the low
level signal during the presence of this signal. No edges are
present at the output of the comparator, that’s why the
detection timer is not reset and dc detect signal appears.
The minimum detectable slope by this ac detector is given
by the ration between the maximum hysteresis observed at
HV pin VHV(hyst),max and the sampling time:
The X2 capacitor discharging feature is offered by usage
of the NCP12400. This feature save approx. 16 mW –
25 mW input power depending on the EMI filter X2
capacitors volume and it saves the external components
count as well. The discharge feature is ensured via the
start−up current source with a dedicated control circuitry for
this function. The X2 capacitors are being discharged by
current defined as Istart2 when this need is detected.
There is used a dedicated structure called ac line unplug
detector inside the X2 capacitor discharge control circuitry.
See the Figure 51 for the block diagram for this structure and
Figures 52, 53, 54 and 55 for the timing diagrams. The basic
idea of ac line unplug detector lies in comparison of the
direct sample of the high voltage obtained via the high
voltage sensing structure with the delayed sample of the high
voltage. The delayed signal is created by the sample & hold
structure.
The comparator used for the comparison of these signals
is without hysteresis inside. The resolution between the
slopes of the ac signal and dc signal is defined by the
sampling time TSAMPLE and additional internal offset NOS.
These parameters ensure the noise immunity as well. The
additional offset is added to the picture of the sampled HV
signal and its analog sum is stored in the C1 storage
capacitor. If the voltage level of the HV sensing structure
output crosses this level the comparator CMP output signal
resets the detection timer and no dc signal is detected. The
additional offset NOS can be measured as the VHV(hyst) on
the HV pin. If the comparator output produces pulses it
means that the slope of input signal is higher than set
resolution level and the slope is positive. If the comparator
output produces the low level it means that the slope of input
signal is lower than set resolution level or the slope is
negative. There is used the detection timer which is reset by
any edge of the comparator output. It means if no edge
comes before the timer elapses there is present only dc signal
or signal with the small ac ripple at the HV pin. This type of
the ac detector detects only the positive slope, which fulfils
the requirements for the ac line presence detection.

Than it can be derived the relationship between the

(eq. 2)
The minimum detectable AC RMS voltage is 16 V at
frequency 35 Hz, if the maximum hysteresis is 5 V and
sampling time is 1 ms.
The X2 capacitor discharge feature is available in any
controller operation mode to ensure this safety feature. The
detection timer is reused for the time limiting of the
discharge phase, to protect the device against overheating.
The discharging process is cyclic and continues until the ac
line is detected again or the voltage across the X2 capacitor
is lower than VHV(min). This feature ensures to discharge
quite big X2 capacitors used in the input line filter to the safe
level. It is important to note that it is not allowed to
connect HV pin to any dc voltage due this feature. e.g.
directly to bulk capacitor.
During the HV sensing or X2 cap discharging the VCC net
is kept above the VCC(off) voltage by the Self−Supply in any
mode of device operation to supply the control circuitry.
During the discharge sequence is not allowed to start−up the
device.

The Low Consumption Off Mode
Only the X2 cap discharge and Self−Supply features is
enabled in the low consumption off mode. The X2 cap
discharging feature is enable due the safety reasons and the
Self−Supply is enabled to keep the VCC supply, but only
very low VCC consumption appears in this mode. Any other
features are disabled in this mode.
The information about the latch status of the device is kept
in the low consumption off mode and this mode is used for
the TSD protection as well. The protection timer
GoToOffMode tGTOM is used to protect the application
against the false activation of the low consumption off mode
by the fast drop outs of the FB pin voltage below the 0.4 V
level. E.g. in case when is present high FB pin voltage ripple
during the skip mode.
There was implemented the low consumption off mode
allowing to reach extremely low no load input power as
described in previous chapters. If the voltage at feedback pin
decreases below the 0.6 V the controller enters the off mode.
The internal VCC is turned−off, the IC consumes extremely
low VCC current and only the voltage at external VCC
capacitor is maintained by the Dynamic Self−Supply circuit.
The Dynamic Self−Supply circuit keeps the VCC voltage
between the VCC(on) and VCC(off) levels. The supply for the
FB pin watch dog circuitry and FB pin bias is provided via
the low consumption current sources from the external VCC
capacitor. The controller can only start, if the FB pin voltage
increases above the 2.2 V level. See Figure 56 for timing
diagrams.

Oscillator with Frequency Jittering
fOSC
The NCP12400 includes an oscillator that sets the
switching frequency 65 kHz or 100 kHz depending on the
version. The maximum duty−ratio of the DRV pin is 80%.
In order to improve the EMI signature, the switching
frequency jitters ±4 kHz around its nominal value, with a
triangle−wave shape and at a frequency of 125 Hz. This
frequency jittering is active even when the frequency is
decreased to improve the efficiency in light load condition.

The current setpoint is fixed to 300 mV in the frequency

the light loads conditions as well.
In order to improve the efficiency in light load conditions,
the frequency of the internal oscillator is linearly reduced
from its nominal value down to fOSC(min). This frequency

When the FB voltage reaches Vskip(in) while decreasing,
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; but as
soon as VFB crosses the skip out threshold, the DRV pin
starts to pulse again.
The NCP12400 device includes logic which allows going
into skip mode after the DRV cycle is finished by reaching
of the peak current value. This technique eliminates the last
short pulses in skip mode, which increases the system
efficiency at light loads and makes easier the application of
active secondary rectification circuitry.

Quiet−Skip
drive pulses have been counted (if not, they do not stop until
the end of the nP,skip −th pulse). They are not allowed to start
again until the timer expires, even if the skip−exit threshold
is reached first. It is important to note that the timer will not
force the next cycle to begin – i.e. if the natural skip
frequency is such that skip−exit is reached after the timer
expires, the drive pulses will wait for the skip−exit
threshold.
This means that during no−load, there will be a minimum
of nP,skip drive pulses, and the burst−cycle period will likely
be much longer than 1250 ms. This operation helps to
improve efficiency at no−load conditions.
In order to exit burst mode, the FB voltage must rise higher
than Vskip(tran) level. If this occurs before tquiet expires, the
drive pulses will resume immediately – i.e. the controller
won’t wait for the timer to expire. Figure 63 provides an
example of how Quiet−Skip works, while Figure 62 shows
the immediate leaving the quiet skip mode by crossing the
transient enhancement level Vskip(tran).
To further avoid acoustic noise, the circuit prevents the
burst frequency during skip mode from entering the audible
range by limiting it to a maximum of 800 Hz. This is
achieved via a timer tquiet that is activated during
Quiet−Skip. The start of the next burst cycle is prevented
until this timer has expired. As the output power decreases,
the switching frequency decreases. Once it hits minimum
switching frequency fOSC(min), the skip−in threshold is
reached and burst mode is entered − switching stops as soon
as the current drive pulses ends – it does not stop
immediately.
Once switching stops, FB will rise. As soon as FB crosses
the skip−exit threshold, drive pulses will resume, but the
controller remains in burst mode. At this point, a 1250 ms
(typ) timer tquiet is started together with a count to nP,skip
pulses counter. This nP,skip pulses counter ensures the
minimum number of DRV signal pulses in burst. The next
time the FB voltage drops below the skip−in threshold, DRV
pulses stop at the end of the current pulse as long as nP,skip

Clamped Driver
voltage subducted by offset typically 0.8 V and divided by
4 sets the threshold: when the voltage ramp reaches this
threshold, the output driver is turned off. The maximum
value for the current sense is 0.7 V, and it is set by a dedicated
comparator.
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 set−point is increased
by 32 discrete steps 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).
During the soft−start the oscillator frequency increase
from the minimum switching frequency to the maximum
switching frequency following the ramp applied to current
sense set−point.
The supply voltage for the NCP12400 can be as high as
36 V, but most of the MOSFETs that will be connected to the
DRV pin cannot accept more than 20 V on their gate. The
driver pin is therefore safely clamped below 16 V. This
driver has a typical capability of 500 mA for source current
and 800 mA for sink current.
Current−Mode Control With Slope Compensation and
Soft−Start
NCP12400 is a current−mode controller, which means
that the FB voltage sets the peak current flowing in the
transformer primary 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. It is applied to one input of the PWM comparator
through a 250 ns LEB block. On the other input the FB

toggles, the controller immediately enters the protection
mode.
In order to allow the NCP12400 to operate in CCM with
a duty−ratio above 50%, the fixed slope compensation is
internally applied to the current−mode control. The slope
appearing on the internal voltage setpoint for the PWM
comparator is −32.5 mV/ms typical. The slope compensation
can be observable as a value of the peak current at CS pin.
The internal slope compensation circuitry uses a saw−tooth
signal synchronized with the internal oscillator is subtracted
from the FB voltage divided by KFB.
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. That’s what the additional comparator, that
senses when the current sense voltage on CS pin reaches
VCS(stop) ( = 1.5 x VILIM ), does: as soon as this comparator

Internal Overpower Protection
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, leading to a significant
difference in the maximum output power delivered by the
power supply.
The power delivered by a flyback power supply is
proportional to the square of the peak current in
discontinuous conduction mode:

But this offset is unwanted to appear when the current
sense signal is small, i.e. in light load conditions, where it
would be in the same order of magnitude. Therefore the
compensation current is only added when the FB voltage is
higher than VFB(OPCE). However, because the HV pin is
being connected to ac voltage, there is needed an additional
circuitry to read or at least closely estimate the actual voltage
on the bulk capacitor.
To compensate this and have an accurate overpower
protection, an offset proportional to the input voltage is
added on the CS signal by turning on an internal current
source: by adding an external resistor 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 resistor.

can deliver, and the CS set−point 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. This latch is released in autorecovery mode. The
controller tries to restart after tautorec. The other possibilities
of the latch release are the brown−out condition or the VCC
power on reset. The timer is reset when the CS set−point
goes back below VILIM before the timer elapses. The fault
timer is also started if the driver signal is reset by the
maximum on time. The controller also enters the same
protection mode if the voltage on the CS pin reaches 1.5
times the maximum internal set−point VCS(stop) (allows to
detect winding short−circuits) or there appears low VCC
supply. See Figure 71 for the timing diagram.
A 5−bit A/D converter with the peak detector senses the
ac input, and its output is periodically sampled and reset, in
order to follow closely the input voltage variations. The
sample and reset events are given by the output from the ac
line unplug detector. The sensed HV pin voltage peak value
is validated when no HV edges from comparator are present
after last falling edge during 2 sample clocks. See Figure 71
for details.
Overcurrent Protection with Fault Timer
The overload protection depends only on the current
sensing signal, making it able to work with any transformer,
even with very poor coupling or high leakage inductance.
When an overcurrent occurs on the output of the power
supply, the FB loop asks for more power than the controller

FAULT Input
Figure 74. OVP/OTP Detection Schematic
The FAULT input pin is dedicated to the latch−off
function: it includes 2 levels of detection 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 controller can be released from
the latch mode by the autorecovery, but it depends on the
version of the product. The lower threshold is intended to be
used with an NTC thermistor, thanks to an internal current
source INTC.
An active clamp prevents the voltage from reaching the
high threshold if it is only pulled up by the INTC current. To
reach the high threshold, the pull−up current has to be higher
than the pull−down capability of the clamp (typically
1.5 mA at VOVP).
To avoid any false triggering, spikes shorter than 50 ms
(for the high latch and 65 kHz version) or 350 ms (for the low
latch) are blanked and only longer signals can actually latch
the controller.

t SSTART
Reset occurs when a brown−out condition is detected or
the VCC is cycled down to a reset voltage, 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 being at their nominal values; so one of the
comparators could toggle even if it should not. Therefore the
internal logic does not take the latch signal into account
before the controller is ready to start: once VCC reaches
VCC(on), the latch pin High latch state is taken into account
and the DRV switching starts only if it is allowed; whereas
the Low latch (typically sensing an over temperature) is
taken into account only after the soft−start is finished. In
addition, the NTC current is doubled to INTC(SSTART) during
the soft−start period, to speed up the charging of the FAULT
pin capacitor The maximum value of FAULT pin capacitor
is given by the following formula (The standard start−up
condition is considered and the NTC current is neglected):

low power consumption. There is kept the VCC supply to
keep the TSD information. When the temperature falls
below the low threshold, the start−up of the device is enabled
again, and a regular start−up sequence takes place. See the
status diagrams at the Figure 44.
The NCP12400 includes a temperature shutdown
protection with a trip point typically at 150°C and the typical
hysteresis of 30°C. When the temperature rises above the
high threshold, the controller stops switching
