The NCP13994 is a high performance current mode controller for
half bridge resonant converters. This controller implements
700 V gate drivers, simplifying layout and reducing external
component count. The built−in Brown−Out input function eases
implementation of the controller in all applications. In applications
where a PFC front stage is needed, the NCP13994 features a dedicated
output to drive the PFC controller. This feature together with quiet
skip mode technique further improves light load efficiency of the
whole application. The NCP13994 provides a suite of protection
features allowing safe operation in any application. This includes:
overload protection, over−current protection to prevent hard switching
cycles, brown−out detection, line brown−out, line OVP, X2 cap
discharge, open optocoupler detection, automatic dead−time adjust,
over−voltage (OVP) and over−temperature (OTP) protections.

over−temperature protection to prevent IC damage for any
failure mode that may occur in the application. The HV
startup current source is primarily enabled or disabled based
on VCC level. The startup HV current source can be also
enabled by BO_OK rising edge, auto−recovery timer end,
off−mode and TSD end event. The HV startup current
source charges the VCC capacitor before IC start−up.
The NCP13994 controller features a HV startup current
source that allows fast startup time and extremely low
standby power consumption. Two startup current levels
(Istart1 and Istart2) are provided by the system for safety in
case of short circuit between VCC and GND pins. In
addition, the HV startup current source features a dedicated

Figure 56 to find an illustration of the NCP13994 VCC
management system under all operating conditions/modes.
The HV startup current source features an independent
over–temperature protection system to limit Istart2 current
when the die temperature reaches THV_CS_CLAMP. At this
temperature,Istart2 will be progressively regulated to prevent
the die temperature from rising above THV_CS_CLAMP.
The NCP13994 controller disables the HV startup current
source once the VCC pin voltage level reaches VCC_ON
threshold – refer to Figure 22. The application then starts
operation and the auxiliary winding maintains the voltage
bias for the controller during normal and skip−mode
operating modes. The IC operates in so called Dynamic Self
Supply (DSS) mode when the bias from auxiliary winding
is not sufficient to keep the VCC voltage above VCC_OFF
threshold (i.e. VCC voltage is cycling between VCC_ON and
VCC_OFF thresholds with no driver pulses on the output
during positive VCC ramp). The HV source is also operated
in DSS mode when the low voltage controller enters
off−mode or fault−mode operation. In this case the VCC pin
voltage will cycle between VCC_ON and VCC_OFF
thresholds and the controller will not deliver any driver
pulse – waiting for return from the off−mode or latch mode
operation. Please refer to figures Figure 53 through
Brown−out Protection − VBULK Input
Resonant tank of an LLC converter is always designed to
operate within a specific bulk voltage range. Operation
below minimum bulk voltage level would result in current
and temperature overstress of the converter power stage.
The NCP13994 controller features a VBULK input in order
to precisely adjust the bulk voltage turn−ON and turn−OFF
levels. This Brown−Out protection (BO) greatly simplifies
application level design.

running, the IBO_DOWN sink is disabled. The bulk voltage
turn−off threshold (Vbulk_OFF) is then given by BO
comparator reference voltage directly on the resistor divider.
The advantage of this solution is that the Vbulk_OFF
threshold precision is not affected by IBO_DOWN (hysteresis)
current sink tolerance.
The Vbulk_ON and Vbulk_OFF levels can be calculated
using equations below:
The IBO_DOWN is ON:
The internal circuitry shown in Figure 23 allows
monitoring the high−voltage input rail (Vbulk). A
high−impedance resistive divider made of Rupper and Rlower
resistors brings a portion of the Vbulk rail to the VBULK pin.
The Current sink (IBO_DOWN) is active below the bulk
voltage turn−on level (Vbulk_ON). Therefore, the bulk
voltage turn−on level is higher than defined by the division
ratio of the resistive divider. To the contrary, when the
internal BO_OK signal is high, i.e. the application is
V BO ) V BOhyst + V bulk_ON @
R lower
R lower ) R upper
The IBO is OFF:
V BO + V bulk_OFF @
(eq. 2)
One can extract Rlower term from equation 2 and use it in
equation 1 to get needed Rupper value:

information. The BO comparator then authorizes or disables
the LLC stage operation based on the actual Vbulk level.
The low hysteresis current of the NCP13994 brown out
protection system allows increasing the bulk voltage divider
resistance and thus reduces the application power
consumption during light load operation. On the other hand,
the high impedance divider can be noise sensitive due to
capacitive coupling to HV switching traces in the
application. This is why a filter (tBO_FILTER) is added after the
comparator on Vbulk pin in order to increase the system
noise immunity. Despite the internal filtering, it is also
recommended to keep a good layout for BO divider resistors
and use a small external filtering capacitor on the VBULK
pin if precise BO detection wants to be achieved.
The bulk voltage divider can be disconnected by HV
switch (controlled by signal from the PFC MODE pin)
during off−mode operation. This technique further reduces
the no−load power consumption down again since the power
losses of voltage divider are not affected by the bulk voltage
at all.
The NCP13994 is able to generate Power Good (PG)
signal based on bulk capacitor voltage via BO_PG
comparator sensing VBULK pin voltage.

Note that the VBULK pin is pulled down by an internal
switch when the controller is in startup phase − i.e. when the
VCC voltage ramps up from VCC < VCC_RESET towards the
VCC_OFF level on the VCC pin. This feature assures that the
VBULK pin voltage will not ramp up before the IC
operation starts. The IBO_DOWN hysteresis current sink is
activated and BO discharge switch is disabled once the VCC
voltage crosses VCC_OFF threshold. The VBULK pin
voltage then ramps up naturally according to the BO divider

threshold, an auto−recovery line brown−out protection, line
overvoltage protection and X2 capacitor discharge function.
It is allowed only to work with an unfiltered, rectified ac
input to ensure the X2 capacitor discharge function, which
is described in following paragraph. The brown−out
protection thresholds are internally selectable in specific
steps, to fit most of the standard ac−dc conversion
applications.
When the input voltage is below VHV_DOWN for time
longer then line brown−out timer duration (tHV), a
brown−out condition is detected, and the controller stops
generate drives pulses. The HV current source maintains
VCC between VCC_ON and VCC_OFF levels until the input
voltage is back above VHV_UP.
The VBULK pin voltage is also used by Line Feed
Forward block (LFF). Please refer to ON−time modulation
and feedback loop block description for more information
about LFF function.
The processed VBULK information are blanked when
BO switch is activated or at specific events during bulk
voltage modulation.
Please refer to Figure 53 through Figure 56 for an
illustration of NCP13994 Brown−out protection system in

When VHV crosses the VHV_UP threshold, the controller
starts when the VCC crosses the next VCC_ON event. When
it crosses VHV_DOWN, it triggers a timer of duration tHV, this
ensures that the controller doesn’t stop in case of line cycle
drop−out. The device restart is disabled when parasitic spike
is induced at HV pin by the residual energy in the EMI filter
immediately after the device stop. The device restart is
allowed only when system detects positive slope of input
signal for 2 ms (two sample clocks used at X2 cap discharge
logic). The basic principle is shown at Figure 25 with block
diagram at Figure 26.

The same system is used for the Line OVP, except that this
time the controller must not stop instantaneously when the
input voltage goes above VHV_OVP, in order to be insensitive
to spikes and voltage surges shorter than tOVP_BLANK.
Therefore a blanking circuit is inserted after the output of the
comparator.
When the overvoltage event occurs, Line OVP signal is
set and controller stops generate pulses. When the
overvoltage event finishes the timer with duration tHV is
reset and starts counting. The IC can starts after the timer
elapses and all other start conditions are fulfil. The timer is
paused and afterwards reset if new Line OVP event occur
during the timer counting process as is shown at Figure 27.
When the Line OVP fault ends (the timer elapses) and the
input voltage is below VHV_DOWN the controller does not
starts and waits for another Brown−in event as is shown at
Figure 28.

edge is detected for 10 ms from last detected positive edge
only). The additional offset VOS can be measured as the
VHV_X2 on the HV pin. If the comparator output produces
pulses it means that the positive or negative slope of input
signal is present. If the comparator output stays at low or
high level it means that the slope of input signal is lower than
set resolution level. There is used the detection timer which
is reset by any edge of the comparator output. If no edge
comes before the timer elapses then only dc signal or signal
with the small ac ripple is present at the HV pin. This type
of the ac detector detects both positive and negative voltage
slope, which fulfils the requirements for the ac line presence
detection.
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. 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_X2,max and the sampling time:
This feature saves approximately 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 IDISCH
when line disconnection is detected. The discharging
current is lineary decreased based on HV pin voltage when
the voltage decrease below about 40 V to allow higher value
of external series resistor. The minimum discharging current
is about 1 mA at VX2_END.
There is used a dedicated structure called ac line unplug
detector inside the X2 capacitor discharge control circuitry.
See the Figure 29 for the block diagram for this structure and
figures Figure 30, Figure 31, Figure 32 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 hold 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 VOS.
These parameters ensure the noise immunity. The additional
offset is added to the image 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 (tX2_DET) and positive slope of HV signal is detected.
The negative slope is detected by similar way (the negative

The controller operation is terminated and VCC voltage is
droping due to IC consumption during the X2 discharging
process. The device start−up is blocked by the discharge
sequence.
The X2 capacitor discharge feature is active under any
controller operation mode to ensure SMPS users safety. The
discharging process continues until the HV pin voltage
dorops below VX2_END level. It is important to note that it
is not allowed to connect HV pin to any dc voltage, e.g.
directly to bulk capacitor.

Over−voltage and Over−temperature Protection
depending on the IC version − and triggered the protection
threshold (VOTP or VOVP).
The internal current source IOTP allows a simple OTP
implementation by using a single negative temperature
coefficient (NTC) thermistor. An active soft clamp
composed from Vclamp and Rclamp components prevents the
OVP/OTP pin voltage from reaching the VOVP threshold
when the pin is pulled up by the IOTP current. An external
pull−up current, higher than the pull−down capability of the
internal clamp (VCLAMP_OVP/OTP), has to be applied to pull
the OVP/OTP pin above VOVP threshold to activate the OVP
protection. The tOVP_FILTER and tOTP_FILTER filters are
implemented in the system to avoid any false triggering of
the protections due to application noise and/or poor layout.
The OVP/OTP pin is a dedicated input to allow for a
simple and cost effective implementation of two key
protection features that are needed in adapter applications:
over−voltage (OVP) and over−temperature (OTP)
protections. Both of these protections can be either latched
or auto−recovery – depending on the version of NCP13994.
The OVP/OTP pin has two voltage threshold levels of
detection (VOVP and VOTP) that define a no−fault window.
The controller is allowed to run when OVP/OTP input
voltage is within this working window. The controller stops
the operation, after filter time delay, when the OVP/OTP
input voltage is out of the no−fault window. The controller
then either latches−off or or starts an auto−recovery timer −
www.onsemi.com

NCP13994
Figure 33. Internal Connection of OVP/OTP Input
Off−mode Control
The OTP protection could be falsely triggered during
controller startup due to the external filtering capacitor
charging current. Thus the tBLANK_OTP period has been
implemented in the system to overcome such behavior. The
OTP comparator output is ignored during tBLANK_OTP
period. In order to speed up the charging of the external
filtering capacitor COVP_OTP connected to OVP/OTP pin,
the IOTP current has been doubled to IOTP_BOOST. The
maximum value of filtering capacitor is 100 nF.
The OVP/OTP ON signal is set after the following events:
the VCC voltage exceeds the VCC_RESET threshold during
first start−up phase (after VCC pin voltage was below
VCC_RESET threshold)
IC returns from non−switching states to switching state
(like bulk BO, line BO, line OVP and VCC_OFF
protections, auto−recovery...) except hysteretic mode of
OTP protection
The IOTP current source is disabled when:
DRVs stop switching
IC option that keeps OVP/OTP block working during skip
mode is also available. The IC consumption is increased for
this version by OVP/OTP block bias.
OTP protection can operate (based on IC version) at
hysteretic mode where DRVs are stopped when voltage on
the pin drops below low threshold and operation is restarted
once voltage on the pin increase above high threshold.
OTP condition is not process when IC restarted from
off−mode state.
The latched OVP or OTP versions of NCP13994 enters
latched protection mode when VCC voltage cycles between
VCC_ON and VCC_OFF thresholds and no pulses are provided
by drivers. The controller VCC pin voltage has to be cycled
down below VCC_RESET threshold or appropriate conditions
on HV pin have to occur in order to restart operation. This
would happen when the power supply is unplugged from the
mains.
The NCP13994 implements an ultra−low power
consumption mode of operation called off−mode. The
application output voltage is cycled between the nominal
and lower levels that are defined by the secondary side
off−mode controller (like NCP435x secondary off−mode
controller). The output voltage is thus not regulated to
nominal level but is always kept at a high enough voltage
level to provide bias for the necessary circuits in the target
application – for example this could be the case of
microcontroller with very low consumption that handles
VCC management in a notebook or TV. The no−load input
power consumption could be significantly reduced when
using described technique. The NCP13994 implements two
different off−mode control system approaches:
Active ON off−mode control
Active OFF off−mode control
These two off−mode operation control techniques differ
in the way the off−mode operation is started on the primary
side controller. Both of these methods are described
separately hereinafter.
Active ON Off−mode Control
The NCP13994 device family could use a SKIP/REM pin
only for off−mode operation control– i.e. the pin is internally
connected to the Active ON off−mode control block and the
skip mode threshold level is not adjustable externally. The
skip mode comparator threshold can be adjusted only
internally (by IC option) in this option. The SKIP/REM pin
when used for off−mode control allows the user to activate
the ultra−low consumption mode during which the IC
consumption is reduced to only very low HV pin leakage
current (IHV_OFF−MODE) and very low VCC pin
consumption (ICC_OFF−MODE). The off−mode is activated
when SKIP/REM pin voltage exceeds VREM_OFF threshold.
Normal operating mode is resumed when SKIP/REM pin
voltage drops below VREM_ON threshold – refer to
Figure 34 for an illustration.

the secondary side capacitors to the nominal output voltage
level. In this case we do not use REM TIMER because it
would increase the no−load power consumption by forcing
the application to run for a longer time than necessary.
The bias on VCC pin needs to be assured when off−mode
operation takes place. The auxiliary winding is no more able
to provide any bias thus the HV startup current source is
operated in DSS mode – i.e. the VCC pin voltage is cycling
between VCC_ON and VCC_OFF thresholds. This approach
keeps IC biasing in order to memorize the current operation
sate.
The off−mode operation is activated by the secondary side
off−mode controller. The auxiliary bias for primary side
off−mode control is provided by a circuit composed from
components D2, C1, R1, R2 and C2. The SKIP/REM pin is
pulled up by this auxiliary supply circuit once the REM
optocoupler (REM OK) is released. The application then
operates in off−mode until the secondary side off−mode
controller activates the REM optocoupler or until the
auxiliary bias on C1 is lost. Normal operation mode is then
recovered via power stage startup. The application is thus
switching between ON−mode and OFF−mode states when
off−mode control is implemented. The OFF mode period
last significantly longer time (tens of seconds or more)
compared to the secondary capacitor refilling period (few
tens of milliseconds) – this explains why the no−load input
power consumption can be drastically reduced. The
auxiliary off−mode supply capacitor C1 can stay charged
while the secondary bias is lost – this can happen during
overload or other fault mode conditions. A REM TIMER is
thus implemented in the system to allow fast application
restart in such cases. The controller blanks the SKIP/REM
input information for tREM_TIMER time during controller
restart so that the secondary side bias can be restored and the
secondary off−mode controller can activate the REM
optocoupler. This REM TIMER blank sequence is activated
each time the VCC pin voltage reaches VCC_ON threshold –
except in the situation when after IC left off−mode operation
by standard way and VCC is restored – i.e. when the REM
optocoupler is activated by the secondary off−mode
controller. The controller is active for very short time during
no−load conditions − just during the time needed to re−fill
Active OFF Off−mode Control
The NCP13994 device family could use LLC FB pin
voltage information for off−mode operation detection −
refer to Figure 35. The SKIP/REM pin is internally
connected to the skip mode block in this case and serves as
a VFB_SKIP_IN threshold voltage adjust pin. The secondary
off−mode controller reuses the LLC stage regulation
optocoupler in order to reduce total system cost. The
off−mode operation is initiated once the LLC FB pin is
pulled down below VFB_REM_OFF threshold followed by the
VCC pin voltage drop below VCC_OFF threshold. The
opto−coupler has to be active at all time the application is
held in off−mode. No biased is then provided by the
secondary off−mode controller during normal operation –
this is why this approach is called Active OFF off−mode
operation. The application no−load input power
consumption is slightly higher compared to Active ON
off−mode solution, previously described, because the
opto−coupler needs to be biased during off mode operation.

The controller monitors the LLC FB pin voltage level and
restarts via regular startup sequence (including VCC pin
voltage ramp−up to VCC_ON level and soft−start) once the
FB pin is released by the secondary off−mode controller.
The HV startup current source is working in DSS mode
during application off−mode operation – i.e. the VCC pin
voltage is cycling between VCC_ON and VCC_OFF
thresholds. This approach keeps IC biased so that the actual
operation sate is memorized. The LLC FB pin pull−up
resistor is disconnected and off−mode pull up current source
IFB_REM_BIAS is activated when off−mode operation is
activated in order to reduce IC power consumption and also
needed current for opto−coupler driving from secondary
side.
Please refer to Figure 56 for an illustration on how the
NCP13994 off−mode system works under all operating
conditions/modes.
PFC MODE Output
The NCP13994 has PFC MODE pin that can be used to
control aditional circuit based on actual application
operating state – please refer to Figure 36. The PFC MODE

NCP13994
There are three possible states of the PFC MODE output
that can be placed by the controller based on the application
operating conditions:
a. The PFC MODE output pin is pulled−down by an
internal MOSFET switch before controller startup.
This technique ensures minimum VCC pin current
consumption in order to ramp VCC voltage in a short
time from the HV startup current source. This
approach speeds up the startup and restart time of an
SMPS. The PFC MODE output pin is also
pulled−down in off−mode, protection mode and at
stop conditions (except BO event via VBULK pin)
during which the HV startup current source is
operated in DSS mode. Application power
consumption is reduced in above cases. The
pull−down switch can be activate also in skip or light
load mode (depends on IC version)
b. Second possible state of PFC MODE output is
regulated voltage. The two regulated levels VREG1
and VREG2 are available. Regulation level VREG1 is
present on the output during normal operation and IC
can switch to VREG2 during skip or light−load
modes. The purpose of switching between two
voltage levels is to fully bias PFC controller during
normal operation and keep limited bias (just below
PFC controller VCC_off level) to keep PFC
controller internal blocks biased with reduced
consumption of PFC controller.
c. The PFC MODE can be also at High Z state during
skip or light load mode to keep remaining charge of
PFC controller VCC capacitor. The combination of
High Z state with pull−down switch can be used to
control Power Good (PG) opto−coupler.
The pin n.9 can be used for skip_out threshold level
definition when PFC_MODE functions are not required or
during application debugging.
Please refer to Figure 53 through Figure 56 for an
illustration of NCP13994 PFC operation control.
ON−time Modulation and Feedback Loop Block
The NCP13994 on−time modulation uses current mode
control scheme that ensures best transient response
performance and provides inherent cycle−by−cycle
over−current protection feature in the same time. The
current mode control principle used in this device can be
seen in Figure 37.
Figure 37. Internal Connection of the NCP13994 Current Mode Control Scheme
ON−time comparator output is blanked by the leading edge
blanking (tLEB) after the Mupper switch is turned−on. The
ON−time comparator LEB period helps to avoid false
triggering of the on−time modulation due to noise generated
by the HB pin voltage transition.
The voltage signal for current sense input is prepared
externally via natural primary current integration by the
resonant tank capacitor Cs. The resonant capacitor voltage
is divided down by capacitive divider (Ccs1, Ccs2, Rcs1,
Rcs2) before it is provided to the CS input. The capacitive
The basic principle of current mode control scheme
implementation lies in the use of an ON−time comparator
that defines upper switch on−time by comparing voltage
ramp, derived from the current sense input voltage, to the
divided or not divided feedback pin voltage. The upper
switch on−time is then re−used for low side switch
conduction period. The switching frequency is thus defined
by the actual primary current and output load conditions.
Digital processing with 10 ns minimum on−time resolution
is implemented to ensure high noise immunity. The

and startup. The FB pin signal passes through the FB
processing block before it is brought to the ON−time
comparator input. The FB processing block scales the FB
signal down by a KFB ratio in order to limit the CS input
dynamic voltage range and apply ramp compensation signal
(to ensure stability of the current mode control scheme), FB
freeze or LFF. The processed internal FB signal could be
overridden by a Soft−start generator output voltage during
device starts−up.
The actual operating frequency of the converter is defined
based on the CS pin and FB pin input signals. The maximum
output power of the converter, under given input voltage, is
limited by maximum internal FB voltage clamp that is
reached when opto−coupler provides no current. The
maximum output power limit is bulk voltage dependent due
to changing ratio between magnetizing and load primary
current components. Line Feed Forward (LFF) system is
implemented in the controller to compensate for maximum
output power clamp variation. The LFF signal that is apply
to internal FB voltage is VBULK pin voltage proportional.
The different input voltage sensed by VBULK pin creates
change on internal FB signal. The Mupper switch on−time
is thus changed to represent similar FB pin voltage at
constant load across different input voltage. The LFF signal
is provided only when BO pin voltage exceeds BO_OK
threshold voltage.
Please refer to Figure 38 and below description for better
understanding principle of the NCP13994 frequency
modulation system.
divider division ratio, which is fully externally adjustable,
defines the maximum primary current level that is reached
in case of maximum feedback voltage – i.e. the capacitive
divider division ration defines the maximum output power
of the converter for given bulk voltage. The CS pin is a
bipolar input where an input voltage swing is restricted to
5 V. The CS pin signal is also used for secondary side short
circuit detection – please refer to chapter dedicated to short
circuit protection.
A fixed voltage offset is internally process to the FB pin
signal in order to assure enough voltage margin for operation
the feedback opto−coupler − the FB opto−coupler saturation
voltage is ~0.15 V (depending on type). However, the CS pin
useful signal for frequency modulation swings from 0 V, so
current mode regulation would not work under light load
conditions if no offset would be added.
The second input signal for the on−time comparator is
derived from the FB pin voltage. This internal FB pin signal
is also used for the following purposes: skip mode operation
detection, Light−load mode detection, off−mode detection
and overload / open FB pin fault detection. The detailed
description of these functions can be found in each dedicated
chapters. The internal pull−up resistor assures that the FB
pin voltage increases when the opto−coupler LED becomes
less biased – i.e. when output load is increased. The higher
FB pin voltage implies a higher reference level for on−time
comparator i.e. longer Mupper switch on−time and thus also
higher output power. The FB pin features a precise voltage
clamp which limits the internal FB signal during overload

NCP13994
switching cycles. Thus a special logic has been implemented
in NCP13994 in order to repeat the last valid on−time until
the current mode operation recovers – i.e. until the CS pin
signal balance is restored by the system.
The Mupper switch is activated by the controller after
dead−time (DT) period elapses in point A. The frequency
processing block increments the ON−time counter with 10
ns resolution until the internal CS signal crosses the internal
FB set point for the ON−time comparator in point B. A DT
period is then introduced by the controller to avoid any
shoot−through current through the power stage switches.
The DT period ends in point C and the controller activates
the Mlower switch. The ON−time processing block
decrements the ON_time counter down until it reaches zero.
The Mlower switch is then turned−OFF at point D and the
DT period is started. This approach results in perfect duty
cycle symmetry for Mlower and Mupper switches. The
Mupper switch on−time naturally increases and the
operating frequency drops when the FB pin voltage is
increased, i.e. when higher current is delivered by the
converter output – sequence E.
The resonant capacitor voltage and thus also CS pin
voltage can be out of balance in some cases – this is the case
during transition from full load to no−load operation when
skip mode is not used or adjusted correctly. The current
mode operation is not possible in such case because the
ON−time comparator output stays active for several
Overload and Open FB Protections
The overload protection and open FB pin detection are
implemented via FB pin voltage monitoring in this
controller. The FB fault comparator is triggered once the FB
pin voltage reaches the VFB_FAULT level. The fault timer is
then enabled – refer to Figure 39. The time period to the FB
fault event confirmation is defined by the preselected
tFB_FAULT_TIMER parameter. The fault timer is reset once
the FB fault condition diminishes or timer counts down
when cumulative option is selected. The speed of timer
counting when timer counts up and down can be different.
A digital noise filter has been added after the FB fault
comparator to overcome false triggering of the FB fault
timer due to possible noise on the FB input.
When FB pin voltage reaches VFB_FAULT_PEAK level (FB
fault peak function is selected) the FB fault timer duration
is reduced – i.e. the timer is speed up by multiplication
KFB_PEAKFT_MULT.
Figure 39. Internal FB Fault Management
The controller disables driver pulses and enters protection
mode once the FB fault event is confirmed by the FB fault
timer. Latched or auto−recovery operation is then
triggered – depends on selected IC option. The controller
adds an auto−recovery off−time period (tA−REC_TIMER) and
restarts the operation via soft start in case of auto−recovery
option. The application temperature runaway is thus
avoided in case of overload while the automatic restart is still
possible once the overload condition disappears. The IC
with latched FB fault option stays latched−off, supplied by
the HV startup current source working in DSS mode, until
the VCC_RESET threshold is reached on the VCC pin or Line
event is detected by HV pin – i.e. until user unplug power
supply from the mains.
Please refer to Figure 53 and Figure 54 for an illustration
of the NCP13994 FB fault detection block.
overload operation and/or open FB pin conditions. The
primary current is naturally limited by the NCP13994
on−time modulation principle in this case. But the primary
current increases when the output terminals are shorted. The
NCP13994 controller will maintain zero voltage switching
operation in such case, however high currents will flow
through the power MOSFETS, transformer winding and
secondary side rectification. The NCP13994 implements a
dedicated secondary side short circuit protection system that
will shut down the controller much faster than the regular FB
fault event in order to limit the stress of the power stage
components. The CS pin signal is monitored by the
dedicated CS fault comparator − refer to Figure 37. The CS
fault counter is incremented each time the CS fault
comparator is triggered. The controller enters
auto−recovery or latched protection mode (depending on IC
option) in case the CS fault counter overflows refer to
Figure 40. The CS fault counter is then reset once the CS
fault comparator is inactive for at least NCS_FAULT_DEC
Mupper upcoming pulses. This digital filtering improves CS
fault protection system noise immunity.

Figure 40. NCP13994 CS Fault Principle
Dedicated Startup Sequence and Soft−Start
The CS fault comparator event increases Ramp
compensation (RC) gain by an increment KRC_GAIN_INC
that is a portion of selected nominal RC gain. The RC gain
is reduced to nominal level by a decrement when event of CS
fault cmp. is not present for NCS_FAULT_DEC Mupper driver
pulses. The decrement that is equal to increment is then
placed at each followed Mupper driver pulse until RC gain
reach nominal value or new CS fault cmp. event is detected.
Hard switching conditions can occur in a resonant SMPS
application when the resonant tank operation is started with
50 % duty cycle symmetry – refer to Figure 41. This hard
switching appears because the resonant tank initial
conditions are not optimal for the clean startup.

Cycle During Startup

note that the magnetizing inductance does not participate in
resonance in this case. However, if the application starts−up
when the output capacitors is charged and there is no load
connected to the output, the secondary rectification diodes
is not conducting during each switching cycle of startup
sequence and thus the resonant frequency of resonant tank
is affected also by the magnetizing inductance. In this case,
the resonant frequency is much lower than in case of startup
into loaded/discharged output.
These facts show that a clean, hard switching free and
parasitic oscillation free, startup of an LLC converter is not
an easy task, and cannot be achieved by duty cycle
imbalance and/or simple resonant capacitor pre−charge to
Vbulk/2 level. These methods only work in specific startup
conditions.
This explains why the NCP13994 implements a
proprietary startup sequence − see Figure 42 and Figure 43.
The resonant capacitor is discharged down to VHB_MIN
before any application restart − except when restarting from
skip mode.
The initial resonant capacitor voltage level can differ
depending on how long delay was placed before application
operation restart. The resonant capacitor voltage is close to
zero level when application restarts after very long delay –
for example several seconds, when the resonant capacitor is
discharged by leakage to the power stage. However, the
resonant capacitor voltage value can be anywhere between
Vbulk and 0 V when the application restarts operation after
a short period of time – like during periodical SMPS
turn−on/off. Another factor that plays significant role during
resonant power supply startup is the actual load impedance
seen by the power stage during the first pulses of startup
sequence. This impedance is not only defined by resonant
tank components but also by the output loading conditions
and actual output voltage level. The load impedance of
resonant tank is low when the output is loaded and/or the
output voltage is low enough to made secondary rectifies
conducting during first switching cycles of startup phase.
The resonant frequency of the resonant tank is given by the
resonant capacitor capacitance and resonant inductance −

between previous Mupper turn−off event and upper
ZVS condition detection is equal or higher than two
times of the the previous Mupper pulse conduction
period
b. The Mupper switch is activated for previous Mupper
conduction period in case the measured time
between previous Mupper turn−off event and upper
ZVS condition detection is lower than two times of
previous Mupper pulse conduction period
c. ZVS condition is not detected due to low or no
positive voltage swing on HB pin. Internal logic is
waiting for ZVS information without any time
limitation – i.e. stuck state. The stuck state can be
interrupted by IC reset (via VCC_RESET threshold) or
by startup watchdog timer.
The startup period then depends on the previous
condition. Another blank Mlower switch period is placed by
the controller in case condition a) occurred. A normal
Mlower driver pulse, with DC of 50 % to previous Mupper
DRV pulse, is placed in case condition b) is fulfilled.
The dedicated startup sequence is placed after the
resonant capacitor is discharged (refer to Figure 42 and
Figure 43) in order to exclude any hard switching cycles
during the startup sequence. The first Mupper switch cycle
in startup phase is always non−ZVS cycle because there is
no energy in the resonant tank to prepare ZVS condition.
However, there is no energy in the resonant tank at this time,
The resonant capacitor discharging process is simply
implemented by activating an internal current limited switch
connected between the HB pin and IC ground – refer to
Figure 42. This technique assures that the resonant capacitor
energy is dissipated in the controller without ringing or
oscillations that could swing the resonant capacitor voltage
to a positive or negative level. The controller detects that the
discharge process is complete via HB pin voltage level
monitoring. The discharge switch is disabled once the HB
pin voltage drops below the VHB_MIN threshold.
The dedicated startup sequence continues by activation of
the Mlower driver output for Tl1 period (refer to Figure 43).
This technique ensures that the bootstrap capacitor is fully
charged before the first high−side driver pulse is introduced
by the controller. The first Mupper switch on−time Tup1
period is fixed and depends on the application parameters.
This period can be adjusted internally – various IC options
are available. The Mupper switch is released after Tup1
period and it is not followed by the Mlower switch
activation. The controller waits for a new ZVS condition for
Mupper switch instead and measures actual resonant tank
conditions this way. The Mupper switch is then activated
again after the Mlower blank period is used for measurement
purposes. The second Mupper driver conduction period is
then dependent on the previously measured conditions:
a. The Mupper switch is activated for 3/2 of previous
Mupper conduction period in case the measured time

the first Mupper on−time duration can be incremented up to
two times of preselected first Mupper duration. The IC will
provide the first Mlower and first Mupper DRV pulses with
a tWATCHDOG off−time in−between startup attempts.
there is also no possibility that the power stage MOSFET
body diodes conducts any current. Thus the hard
commutation of the body diode cannot occur in this case.
The IC will not start and provide regular driver output
pulses until it is placed into the target application, because
the startup sequence cannot be finished until HB pin signal
is detected by the system. The IC features a startup watchdog
timer (tWATCHDOG) which restarted a dedicated startup
sequence periodically in case the IC is powered without
application (during bench testing) or in case the startup
sequence is not finished correctly. The first Mupper on−time
duration is automatically incremented when IC is restarted
by the startup watchdog (depends on IC option). The
increment is a portion of selected first Mupper duration and
Soft−start
The dedicated startup sequence is complete when
condition b) from previous chapter is fulfilled and the
controller continues operation with the soft−start sequence.
A fully digital non−linear soft−start sequence has been
implemented in NCP13994 using a soft−start counter and
D/A converter that are gradually incremented by the Mlower
driver pulses. A block diagram of the NCP13994 soft−start
system is shown in Figure 44.
Figure 44. Soft−start Block Internal Implementation
for the Soft−Start counter can be divided down by
the SS clock divider (KFB_SS_INC) in case the
soft−start period needs to be prolonged further – this
can be also done via IC option selection. The
Soft−Start period is terminated (i.e. the counter is
loaded to its maximum) when the FB pin voltage
drops below VFB_SKIP_IN level or FB pin detect that
application is under regulation.
2. The ON−time counter is a bidirectional counter that
is used as a main system counter for on−time
modulation during soft−start, normal operation or
overload conditions. The ON−time counter
counts−up during Mupper switch conduction period
and then counts down to zero – defining Mlower
switch conduction period. This technique assures
perfect 50 % duty cycle symmetry for both power
switches as afore mentioned. The ON−time counter
count−up mode can be switched to the count−down
The soft−start block subsystems and operation are
described below:
1. The Soft−Start counter is a unidirectional counter
that is loaded with the last Mupper on−time value
that is reached at the dedicated startup sequence end
(i.e. during condition b occurrence explained in
previous chapter). The on−time period used in the
initial period of the soft−start sequence is affected by
the first Mupper on−time period selection and the
dedicated startup sequence processing. The
Soft−Start counter counts up from this initial on time
period to its maximum value which corresponds to
the IC maximum on−time (tTON_MAX). The
Soft−Start counter is incremented by the soft−start
increment number (tTON_SS_INC) during each
Mlower switch on−time period. The soft−start start
increment, selectable via IC option, thus affects the
soft−start time duration. The Mlower clock signal

mode by either of two events: 1 st when the ON−time
counter value reaches the maximum on−time value
(tTON_MAX) or 2 nd when the actual Mupper on−time
is terminated based on the current sense input
information – i.e. by ON−time comparator. 3
4. The Maximum ON−time comparator compares the
actual ON−time counter value with the maximum
on−time value (tTON_MAX) and activates the latch
(or auto−recovery) protection mode once IC detect
requested number of TON_MAX events. The
minimum operating frequency of the controller is
defined the same way. The Maximum ON−time
comparator reference is loaded by the Soft−Start
counter value on each switching cycle during
soft−start. The Maximum ON−time fault signal is
ignored during Soft−Start operation. The converter
Mupper switch on−time (and thus operating
frequency) is thus defined by the Soft−Start counter
value indirectly – via Maximum ON−time
comparator. The Mupper switch on−time is
increased until the Soft−Start counter reaches
tTON_MAX period and Maximum on−time protection
is activated, or until ON−time comparator takes
action and overrides the Maximum ON−time
comparator.
5. The Soft−Start D/A converter generates a soft−start
voltage ramp for ON−time comparator input
synchronously
with
Soft−Start
counter
incrementing. The internal FB signal for ON−time
comparator input is artificially pulled−down and
then ramped−up gradually when soft−start period is
placed by the system – refer to Figure 45. The FB
loop is supposed to take over at certain point when
regulation loop is closed and output gets regulated so
that soft−start has no other effect on the on−time
modulation. The Soft−Start counter continues
counting−up until it reaches its maximum value
which corresponds to the IC maximum on−time
value – i.e. the IC minimum operating frequency.
The Soft−Start period is terminated (i.e. counter is
loaded to its maximum) when the FB pin voltage
drops below VFB_SKIP_IN level. The D/A converter
output evolve accordingly to the Soft−Start counter
as it is loaded from its output data bus.

comparator reference voltage. This reference voltage thus
also increases non−linearly from initial zero level until the
level at which the current mode regulation starts to work.
The on−time of the Mupper and Mlower switch is then
defined by the ON−time comparator action instead of the
Maximum ON−time comparator. The soft−start then
continues until the regulation loop is closed and the on−time
is fully controlled by the secondary regulator. The Soft−Start
counter then continues in counting and saturates at its
maximum possible value which corresponds to IC minimum
operating frequency. The maximum on−time fault detection
system is enabled when Soft−Start counter value is equal to
tTON_MAX value.
The previous on−time repetition feature, described above
in the ON−time modulation and feedback loop chapter, is
disabled in the beginning of soft start period. This is because
the ON−time comparator output stays high for several cycles
of soft start period – until the current mode regulation takes
over. The previous on−time repetition feature is enabled
once the current modulation starts to work fully, i.e. in the
time when the ON−time comparator output periodically
drops to low state within actual Mupper switch on−time
period. Typical startup waveform of the LLC application
driven by NCP13994 controller can be seen in Figure 46.
The Controller Operation During Soft−start Sequence
Evolves as Follows:
The Soft−Start counter is loaded by last Mupper on−time
value at the end of the dedicated startup sequence. The
ON−time counter is released and starts count−up from zero
until the value that is equal to the actual Soft−Start counter
state. The Mupper switch is active during the time when
ON−time counter counts−up. The Maximum ON−time
comparator then changes counting mode of the ON−time
comparator from count−up to count−down. A dead−time is
placed and the Mlower switch is activated till the ON−time
counter reaches zero value. The Soft−Start counter is
incremented by selected increment during corresponding
Mlower on−time period so that the following Mupper switch
on−time is prolonged automatically – the frequency thus
drops naturally. Because the operating frequency of the
controller drops and Mlower DRV signal is used as a clock
source for the Soft−start counter, the soft−start speed starts
to decrease on each (or on each N−th) Mlower driver pulse
(where N is defined by KFB_SS_INC) of switching cycle. So
we have non−linear soft−start that helps to speed up output
charging in the beginning of the soft−start operation and
reduces the output voltage slope when the output is close to
the regulation level. The output bus of the Soft−Start counter
addresses the D/A converter that defines the ON−time

preselected level. Zero voltage switching technique is still
present for the power switches to achieve high light load
efficiency. Quiet skip mode operation is initiated when load
drops further and FB voltage drops below another FB
threshold that is user adjustable on the skip pin. The
frequency of skip burst is regulated by internal digital
controller around preselected quiet skip frequency clamp in
order to reduce acoustic noise. The skip frequency then
drops to very low values during no−load conditions. Refer
to Figure 47, Figure 48 and Figure 49 for typical application
waveforms during light load and quiet skip mode operating
modes.
Then NCP13994 implements proprietary light load and
quiet skip mode operating techniques that improve light load
efficiency, reduce no−load power consumption and
significantly reduce acoustic noise. Controller uses 50 %
duty cycle symmetry under full and medium load
conditions. Normal current mode frequency modulation
takes place during this operating mode – refer to on−time
processing section of this datasheet. The 50 % duty cycle
symmetry operating mode is replaced by continues
operation with minimum switching patterns repeated after
controlled amount of off−time when load is decreased below

Figure 50. The NCP13994 Internal DRVs Structure
Automatic Dead−time Adjust
The internal dV/dt sensor detects the HB pin voltage
transitions in order to setup the optimum DT period – please
refer to Dead−Time chapter. The internal HV discharge
switch is connected to the HB pin and discharges resonant
capacitor before application startup. The current through the
switch is regulated to IHB_DISCHARGE1 level until the
VHB_MIN threshold voltage is reached on the HB pin. The
discharge system assures always the same startup conditions
for application – regardless of previous operating state. The
HB pin discharge current sink features an independent
over−temperature protection which limits its input current in
case the discharger temperature exceeds THB_DISCH_CLAMP
to avoid damage to the HB discharger silicon structure.
As stated in the maximum ratings section, the floating
portion can go up to 730 VDC on the BOOT pin. This
voltage range makes the IC perfectly suitable for offline and
lighting applications.
The dead−time period between the Mupper and Mlower
drivers is always needed in half bridge topologies to prevent
any cross conduction through the power stage MOSFETs
that would result in excessive current, high EMI noise
generation or total destruction of the application. Fixed
dead−time period is often used in the resonant converters
because this approach is simple to implement. However, this
method does not ensure optimum operating conditions in
resonant topologies because the magnetizing current is
changing with line and load conditions. The optimum
dead−time, under a given operating conditions, is equal to
the time that is needed for bridge voltage to transition
between upper and lower states and vice versa – refer to
Figure 51.

example with extremely low bulk voltage or when some
critical failure occurs. This situation should not occur
normally in correctly designed application because several
other protections would prevent such a situation. The
NCP13994 implements maximum DT period clamp that
limits driver’s off−time period to the tDT_MAX value. The
corresponding MOSFET driver is forced to turn−on by the
internal logic regardless of missing dV/dt sensor signal. This
situation does not occur during normal operation and will be
considered a fault state by the device. There are several
possibilities on how the controller continues operation after
this event occurrence – depending on the IC option:
1. The opposite MOSFET switch is forced to turn−on
when tDT_MAX period elapses and no fault is
generated
2. The controller is latched−off in case the ZSV
condition is not detected within selected tDT_MAX
period
3. The controller stops operation and restarts operation
after auto−recovery period in case the ZSV
condition has not been detected within the selected
tDT_MAX period
The MOSFET body diode conduction time is minimized
when optimum dead−time period is used which results in
maximum efficiency of a resonant converter power stage.
There are several methods to determine the optimum
dead−time period or to approximate it (for example using
auxiliary winding on main transformer or modulating
dead−time period with operating frequency of the
converter). These approaches however require a dedicated
pin for nominal dead−time adjust or auxiliary winding
voltage sensing. The NCP13994 uses a dedicated method
that senses the HB pin voltage internally and adjusts the
optimum dead−time period with respect to the actual
operating conditions of the converter. The high−voltage
dV/dt detector, connected to the HB pin, delivers two
internal digital signals that are indicating Mupper to Mlower
and Mlower to Mupper transitions that occur on the HB and
VBOOT pins after the corresponding MOSFET switch is
turned−off. The controller enables the opposite MOSFET in
the power stage once the corresponding dV/dt sensor output
provides information about HB (or VBOOT) pin transition
ends.
The ZVS transition on the bridge pin (HB) could take a
longer time or even does not finish in some cases – for

lower threshold, the full restart (including soft−start) is

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Controller Operation Sequencing of NCP13994 LLC
Controller
VCC management controls the HV startup in DSS mode in
order to keep enough VCC level to hold the latch−up state
memorized while the application remains plugged−in to the
mains.
The power supply is removed from the mains at point H
and the VCC voltage drops down below
VCC_RESET level thus the controller is released from latch.
A new application start occurs when the user plugs the
application the mains again.
The paragraphs below describe controller operation
sequencing under several typical cases as well as transitions
between them.
Application Start, Brown−out Off and Restart, OVP/OTP
Latch and then Restart – Figure 53
Application is connected to the mains at point A thus the
HV input of the controller becomes biased. The HV startup
current source starts charged VCC capacitor until VCC
reaches VCC_ON threshold.
The all analog blocks are enabled at VCC_RESET
threshold. A START_BLANK is activated at VCC_RESET
threshold also to ensure that the internal blocks are fully
biased and stabilized to correctly process conditions/faults
before IC start. The VCC pin voltage reached VCC_ON
threshold in point B. The PFC front stage is activated via
PFC MODE pin that change status at mentioned threshold.
The IC DRVs were not enabled after first VCC_ON threshold
in this case as the voltage on VBULK is not enough high.
The IC keeps all internal blocks biased and operates in the
DSS (Dynamic Self−Supply) mode as long as the stop
conditions is still present.
The BO_OK condition is received (voltage on VBULK
reach VBO level affected by hysteresis) at point C. The IC
activates the startup current source to refill VCC capacitor
in order to assure sufficient energy for a new startup. The
VCC capacitor voltage reaches VCC_ON level again. The
DRVs are enabled and the application is started because
there is no faults or stop condition at that time.
Line and also bulk voltage drops at point D so the BO_OK
signal become low (voltage on VBULK drops below VBO
level). The LLC DRVs are disabled as well as OVP/OTP
block bias. The PFC MODE output stay high to keep the
PFC controller biased, so the BO block still monitors the
bulk voltage. The controller activates the HV startup current
source into DSS mode to keep enough VCC voltage for
operation of all blocks that are active while the IC is waiting
for BO_OK condition.
The line voltage and thus also bulk voltage increase at
point E so the Brown−out block provide the BO_OK signal
once the VBO (with hysteresis) level is reached. The startup
current source is activated after BO_OK signal is received
to charge the VCC capacitor for a new restart. The analog
blocks are enabled (biased) including START_BLANK
period at time when BO_OK signal is received.
The VCC_ON level is reached in point F. The controller
restores operation via the regular startup sequence and
soft−start after all startup condition are fulfil (no fault or stop
condition detected and VCC is higher when VCC_ON
threshold).
The application then operates normally until the
OVP/OTP input is pulled−up at point G. The controller then
enters latch−off mode in which all blocks are disabled. The
Application Start, Brown−out Off and Restart, Output
Short Fault with Auto−recovery Restart – Figure 54
Operating waveforms descriptions for this figure is
similar to one for Figure 53 from point A till point G.
The LLC converter operation is stopped in point G
because the controller detects an overload condition (short
circuit event in this case as the Vout drops abruptly). The
controller disables almost all blocks. The HV startup DSS
operation is initiated in order to keep enough VCC level for
all internal blocks that need to be biased. Internal
auto−recovery timer counts down the recovery delay period
tA−REC_TIMER.
The auto−recovery restart delay period lapses at point H.
The HV startup current source is activated to recharge VCC
capacitor before a new restart and all block are enabled with
START_BLANK period.
The VCC_ON threshold is reached in point I. The controller
restores operation via the regular startup sequence and
soft−start after all startup condition are fulfil (no fault or stop
condition detected and VCC is higher when VCC_ON
threshold). The LLC converter operation is enabled,
including a dedicated startup and soft−start period. The
output short circuit is removed in between thus the Vout
ramped−up and the FB loop took over during the LLC
converter soft−start period.
Startup, Skip−mode Operation, Low Line Detection and
Restart into Skip−mode – Figure 55
Application is connected to the mains at point A thus the

NCP13994
The controller authorizes DRVs at point C as there are no
faults conditions present. The load current is reduced thus
the FB loop reduces the primary controller FB pin voltage.
The load diminished further and the FB skip threshold is
reached in point D. The controller turns−off all the blocks
that are not essential for the controller operation during
skip−mode – i.e. all blocks except FB block and VCC
management. This technique is used to minimize the device
consumption when there are no driver pulses during
skip−mode operation. The output voltage then drops
naturally and the FB loop reflects this change into the
primary FB pin voltage that increases accordingly. The
auxiliary winding is refilling VCC capacitor during each
skip burst thus the controller is supplied from the application
during the skip mode operation.
The controller FB skip−out threshold is reached in point
E; the controller enables all blocks and LLC DRVs to refill
the output capacitor. The controller did not activate the HV
startup current source because there is enough voltage
present on the VCC pin during skip mode. The OTP blank
periods is activated at the beginning of the skip burst to mask
possible OTP faults.
NOTE: The VCC capacitor needs to be chosen with a
value high enough to ensure that VCC will not drop
below the VCC_OFF level during skip mode. The
device would enters into off−mode (refer to
Figure 38) when appropriate off−mode is enabled.
The line voltage drops in point F, but the bulk voltage is
dropping slowly as there is nearly no consumption from the
bulk capacitor during skip mode – only some refilling bursts
are provided by the controller. The application thus
continues in skip mode operation for several skip burst
cycles.
The bulk voltage level less than VBO threshold is detected
by the controller in point G during one of the skip burst
pulses. The controller thus disabled DRVs and enters DSS
mode of operation in which the OVP/OTP block is disabled
and the controller is waiting for BO_OK event. The PFC
MODE provides the VPFCM_REG1 voltage in this case to
allow the PFC stage to refill bulk capacitors.
The line voltage is increased at point H thus the controller
receives the BO_OK signal. The startup current source is
activated after BO_OK signal is received to charge the VCC
capacitor for a new restart. The analog blocks are enabled
(biased) including START_BLANK period at time when
BO_OK signal is received.
The VCC_ON level is reached in point I. The controller
restores operation via the regular startup sequence and
soft−start after all startup condition are fulfil (no fault or stop
condition detected and VCC is higher when VCC_ON
threshold). The application then enters skip mode again as
the load current is low.
Start−up, Normal Operation, Transition to Off−mode
Operation and Output Re−charge in Off−mode – Figure 38
Operating waveforms descriptions for this figure are the
same as for Figure 55 from point A until point C – Please
refer to Figure 55 for details regarding operation between
these time events.
The secondary controller activates off−mode operation by
pulling FB pin below VFB_REM_OFF level, thus the IC goes
into skip−mode for long time at point D. The controller
turns−off all the blocks that are not essential for controller
operation during skip−mode – i.e. all blocks except FB and
VCC management blocks. This technique is used to
minimize device consumption when there are no driver
pulses during skip−mode operation.
The VCC drops naturally by IC consumption below
VCC_OFF threshold at point E – i.e. the off−mode is
confirmed. The controller turns−off all the blocks that are
not essential for controller operation during off−mode – i.e.
all blocks including FB block and big portion of the VCC
management. This technique is used to minimize device
consumption when there are no drive pulses during
off−mode operation. The output voltage is then dropped
naturally due to secondary controller and resistive dividers
consumption. The primary controller is supplied from the
HV startup current source that operates in DSS mode.
The secondary controller interrupts off−mode operation
by releasing the opto−coupler and allowing the voltage on
FB pin to ramp−up by the internal pull−up current source at
point F. The controller activates the HV startup current
source and recharges the VCC capacitor to prepare enough
VCC voltage for a new startup.
The VCC voltage reaches VCC_ON threshold at point G and
the LLC converter starts (including soft−start).
The output voltage is ramped up while the FB loop is not
closed yet as the VOUT is still below regulation level. The
output voltage then reaches regulation level and the FB pin
voltage drops abruptly on the primary – hitting the FB
skip−in threshold at point H. The LLC drivers are thus
disabled by the skip comparator. The FB then increases
naturally – calling for new skip burst (refer to skip mode
operation description in previous text).
The secondary controller activates off−mode operation by
pulling−down FB pin and VCC voltage naturally drops
below VCC_OFF threshold. The primary controller enters
off−mode operation again at point I.
