InnoSwitch3-EP Functional Description
The InnoSwitch3-EP combines a high-voltage power switch, along
with both primary-side and secondary-side controllers in one device.
The architecture incorporates a novel inductive coupling feedback
scheme (FluxLink) using the package lead frame and bond wires to
provide a safe, reliable, and cost-effective means to transmit
accurate, output voltage and current information from the secondary
controller to the primary controller.
The primary controller on InnoSwitch3-EP is a Quasi-Resonant (QR)
flyback controller that has the ability to operate in continuous
conduction mode (CCM), boundary mode (CrM) and discontinuous
conduction mode (DCM). The controller uses both variable frequency
and variable current control schemes. The primary controller consists
of a frequency jitter oscillator, a receiver circuit magnetically coupled to
the secondary controller, a current limit controller, 5 V regulator on
the PRIMARY BYPASS pin, audible noise reduction engine for light
load operation, bypass overvoltage detection circuit, a lossless input
line sensing circuit, current limit selection circuitry, over-temperature
protection, leading edge blanking, secondary output diode / SR FET
short protection circuit and a power switch.
The InnoSwitch3-EP secondary controller consists of a transmitter
circuit that is magnetically coupled to the primary receiver, a constant
voltage (CV) and a constant current (CC) control circuit, a 4.4 V
regulator on the SECONDARY BYPASS pin, synchronous rectifier FET
driver, QR mode circuit, oscillator and timing circuit, and numerous
integrated protection features.
Figure 3 and Figure 4 show the functional block diagrams of the
primary and secondary controller, highlighting the most important
features.

InnoSwitch3-EP
Primary Controller
PRIMARY BYPASS Pin Regulator
The PRIMARY BYPASS pin has an internal regulator that charges the
PRIMARY BYPASS pin capacitor to VBPP by drawing current from the
DRAIN pin whenever the power switch is off. The PRIMARY BYPASS
pin is the internal supply voltage node. When the power switch is on,
the device operates from the energy stored in the PRIMARY BYPASS
pin capacitor.
In addition, a shunt regulator clamps the PRIMARY BYPASS pin
voltage to VSHUNT when current is provided to the PRIMARY BYPASS
pin through an external resistor. This allows the InnoSwitch3-EP to
be powered externally through a bias winding, decreasing the no-load
consumption to less than 30 mW in a 5 V output design.
Primary Bypass ILIM Programming
InnoSwitch3-EP ICs allows the user to adjust current limit (ILIM)
settings through the selection of the PRIMARY BYPASS pin capacitor
value. A ceramic capacitor can be used.
There are 2 selectable capacitor sizes - 0.47 mF and 4.7 mF for setting
standard and increased ILIM settings respectively.
Primary Bypass Undervoltage Threshold
The PRIMARY BYPASS pin undervoltage circuitry disables the power
switch when the PRIMARY BYPASS pin voltage drops below ~4.5 V
(VBPP - VBP(H)) in steady-state operation. Once the PRIMARY BYPASS
pin voltage falls below this threshold, it must rise to VSHUNT to
re-enable turn-on of the power switch.
Primary Bypass Output Overvoltage Function
The PRIMARY BYPASS pin has a latching/auto-restart OV protection
feature depending on H Code. A Zener diode in parallel with the
resistor in series with the PRIMARY BYPASS pin capacitor is typically
used to detect an overvoltage on the primary bias winding and
activate the protection mechanism. In the event that the current into
the PRIMARY BYPASS pin exceeds ISD, the device will latch-off or
disable the power switch switching for a time t AR(OFF), after which time
the controller will restart and attempt to return to regulation (see
Secondary Fault Response in the Feature Code Addendum).
VOUT OV protection is also included as an integrated feature on the
secondary controller (see Output Voltage Protection).
Over-Temperature Protection
The thermal shutdown circuitry senses the primary Switch die
temperature. The threshold is set to TSD with either a hysteretic or
latch-off response depending on H Code.
Hysteretic response: If the die temperature rises above the threshold,
the power switch is disabled and remains disabled until the die
temperature falls by TSD(H) at which point switching is re-enabled. A
large amount of hysteresis is provided to prevent over-heating of the
PCB due to a continuous fault condition.
Latch-off response: If the die temperature rises above the threshold
the power switch is disabled. The latching condition is reset by
bringing the PRIMARY BYPASS pin below VBPP(RESET) or by going below
the UNDER/OVER INPUT VOLTAGE pin UV (IUV-) threshold.

Steady-State Switching Frequency (kHz)
Figure 6. Normalized Primary Current vs. Frequency.
Current Limit Operation
The primary-side controller has a current limit threshold ramp that is
linearly decreasing to the time from the end of the previous primary
switching cycle (i.e. from the time the primary Switch turns off at the
end of a switching cycle).
This characteristic produces a primary current limit that increases as
the switching frequency (load) increases (Figure 6).
This algorithm enables the most efficient use of the primary switch
with the benefit that this algorithm responds to digital feedback
information immediately when a feedback switching cycle request is
received.
At high load, switching cycles have a maximum current approaching
100% ILIM. This gradually reduces to 30% of the full current limit as
load decreases. Once 30% current limit is reached, there is no
further reduction in current limit (since this is low enough to avoid
audible noise). The time between switching cycles will continue to
increase as load reduces.
Jitter
The normalized current limit is modulated between 100% and 95%
at a modulation frequency of fM. This results in a frequency jitter of
~7 kHz with average frequency of ~100 kHz.
Auto-Restart
In the event a fault condition occurs (such as an output overload,
output short-circuit, or external component/pin fault), the
InnoSwitch3-EP enters auto-restart (AR) or latches off. The latching
condition is reset by bringing the PRIMARY BYPASS pin below ~3 V or
by going below the UNDER/OVER INPUT VOLTAGE pin UV (IUV-)
threshold.
In auto-restart, switching of the power switch is disabled for t AR(OFF).
There are 2 ways to enter auto-restart:
1. Continuous secondary requests at above the overload detection
frequency fOVL (~110 kHz) for longer than 82 ms (tAR).
2. No requests for switching cycles from the secondary for >tAR(SK).
The second is included to ensure that if communication is lost, the
primary tries to restart. Although this should never be the case in
normal operation, it can be useful when system ESD events (for
example) causes a loss of communication due to noise disturbing the
secondary controller. The issue is resolved when the primary restarts
after an auto-restart off-time.
4
www.power.com
Rev. S 03/23
InnoSwitch3-EP
The auto-restart is reset as soon as an AC reset occurs.
SOA Protection
In the event that there are two consecutive cycles where the 110%
ILIM is reached within ~500 ns (the blanking time + current limit delay
time) (including leading edge current spike), the controller will skip 2.5
cycles or ~25 ms (based on full frequency of 100 kHz). This provides
sufficient time for the transformer to reset with large capacitive loads
without extending the start-up time.
Secondary Rectifier/SR Switch Short Protection (SRS)
In the event that the output diode or SR FET is short-circuited before
or during the primary conduction cycle, the drain current (prior to the
end of the leading edge blanking time) can be much higher than the
maximum current limit threshold. If the controller turns the highvoltage power switch off, the resulting peak drain voltage could
exceed the rated BVDSS of the device, resulting in catastrophic failure
even with minimum on-time.
To address this issue, the controller features a circuit that reacts
when the drain current exceeds the maximum current limit threshold
prior to the end of leading-edge blanking time. If the leading-edge
current exceeds current limit within a cycle (200 ns), the primary
controller will trigger a 30 ms off-time event. SOA mode is triggered if
there are two consecutive cycles above current limit within tLES
(~500 ns). SRS mode also triggers t AR(OFF)SH off-time, if the current
limit is reached within 200 ns after a 30 ms off-time.
SRS protection is not available on PowiGaN devices INN3678C,
INN3679C and INN3670C.
Input Line Voltage Monitoring
The UNDER/OVER INPUT VOLTAGE pin is used for input undervoltage
and overvoltage sensing and protection.
A sense resistor is tied between the high-voltage DC bulk capacitor
after the bridge (or to the AC side of the bridge rectifier for fast AC
reset) and the UNDER/OVER INPUT VOLTAGE pin to enable this
functionality. This function can be disabled by shorting the UNDER/
OVER INPUT VOLTAGE pin to SOURCE pin.
At power-up, after the primary bypass capacitor is charged and the
ILIM state is latched, and prior to switching, the state of the UNDER/
OVER INPUT VOLTAGE pin is checked to confirm that it is above the
brown-in and below the overvoltage shutdown thresholds.
In normal operation, if the UNDER/OVER INPUT VOLTAGE pin current
falls below the brown-out threshold and remains below brown-out for
longer than tUV-, the controller enters auto-restart. Switching will only
resume once the UNDER/OVER INPUT VOLTAGE pin current is above
the brown-in threshold.
In the event that the UNDER/OVER INPUT VOLTAGE pin current is
above the overvoltage threshold, the controller will also enter
auto-restart. Again, switching will only resume once the UNDER/
OVER INPUT VOLTAGE pin current has returned to within its normal
operating range.
The input line UV/OV function makes use of an internal high-voltage
Switch on the UNDER/OVER INPUT VOLTAGE pin to reduce power
consumption. If the cycle off-time tOFF is greater than 50 ms, the
internal high-voltage Switch will disconnect the external sense
resistor from the internal IC to eliminate current drawn through the
sense resistor. The line sensing function will activate again at the
beginning of the next switching cycle.

Figure 7. Primary-Secondary Handshake Flowchart.
Primary-Secondary Handshake
At start-up, the primary-side initially switches without any feedback
information (this is very similar to the operation of a standard
TOPSwitch™, TinySwitch™ or LinkSwitch™ controllers).
If no feedback signals are received during the auto-restart on-time
(t AR), the primary goes into auto-restart mode. Under normal
conditions, the secondary controller will power-up via the FORWARD
pin or from the OUTPUT VOLTAGE pin and take over control. From
this point onwards the secondary controls switching.
If the primary controller stops switching or does not respond to cycle
requests from the secondary during normal operation (when the
secondary has control), the handshake protocol is initiated to ensure
that the secondary is ready to assume control once the primary
begins to switch again. An additional handshake is also triggered if
the secondary detects that the primary is providing more cycles than
were requested.
5
www.power.com
Rev. S 03/23
InnoSwitch3-EP
The most likely event that could require an additional handshake is
when the primary stops switching as the result of a momentary line
brown-out event. When the primary resumes operation, it will default
to a start-up condition and attempt to detect handshake pulses from
the secondary.
If the secondary does not detect that the primary responds to
switching requests for 8 consecutive cycles, or if the secondary
detects that the primary is switching without cycle requests for 4 or
more consecutive cycles, the secondary controller will initiate a
second handshake sequence. This provides additional protection
against cross-conduction of the SR FET while the primary is switching.
This protection mode also prevents an output overvoltage condition
in the event that the primary is reset while the secondary is still in
control.
Wait and Listen
When the primary resumes switching after initial power-up recovery
from an input line voltage fault (UV or OV) or an auto-restart event, it
will assume control and require a successful handshake to relinquish
control to the secondary controller.
As an additional safety measure the primary will pause for an
auto-restart on-time period, t AR (~82 ms), before switching. During
this “wait” time, the primary will “listen” for secondary requests. If it
sees two consecutive secondary requests, separated by ~30 ms, the
primary will infer secondary control and begin switching in slave
mode. If no pulses occurs during the t AR “wait” period, the primary
will begin switching under primary control until handshake pulses are
received.
Audible Noise Reduction Engine
The InnoSwitch3-EP features an active audible noise reduction mode
whereby the controller (via a “frequency skipping” mode of operation)
avoids the resonant band (where the mechanical structure of the
power supply is most likely to resonate − increasing noise amplitude)
between 5 kHz and 12 kHz - 200 ms and 83 ms period respectively. If a
secondary controller switch request occurs within this time window
from the last conduction cycle, the gate drive to the power switch is
inhibited.
Secondary Controller
As shown in the block diagram in Figure 4, the IC is powered by a
4.4 V (VBPS) regulator which is supplied by either VOUT or FWD. The
SECONDARY BYPASS pin is connected to an external decoupling
capacitor and fed internally from the regulator block.
The FORWARD pin also connects to the negative edge detection
block used for both handshaking and timing to turn on the SR FET
connected to the SYNCHRONOUS RECTIFIER DRIVE pin. The
FORWARD pin voltage is used to determine when to turn off the
SR FET in discontinuous conduction mode operation. This is when
the voltage across the RDS(ON) of the SR FET drops below zero volts.
In continuous conduction mode (CCM) the SR FET is turned off when
the feedback pulse is sent to the primary to demand the next
switching cycle, providing excellent synchronous operation, free of
any overlap for the FET turn-off.
The mid-point of an external resistor divider network between the
OUTPUT VOLTAGE and SECONDARY GROUND pins is tied to the
FEEDBACK pin to regulate the output voltage. The internal voltage
comparator reference voltage is VFB (1.265 V).
The external current sense resistor connected between ISENSE and
SECONDARY GROUND pins is used to regulate the output current in
constant current regulation mode.
Minimum Off-Time
The secondary controller initiates a cycle request using the inductiveconnection to the primary. The maximum frequency of secondarycycle requests is limited by a minimum cycle off-time of tOFF(MIN). This
is in order to ensure that there is sufficient reset time after primary
conduction to deliver energy to the load.
Maximum Switching Frequency
The maximum switch-request frequency of the secondary controller
is fSREQ.
Frequency Soft-Start
At start-up the primary controller is limited to a maximum switching
frequency of fSW and 75% of the maximum programmed current limit
at the switch-request frequency of 100 kHz.
The secondary controller temporarily inhibits the FEEDBACK short
protection threshold (VFB(OFF)) until the end of the soft-start (tSS(RAMP))
time. After hand-shake is completed the secondary controller linearly
ramps up the switching frequency from fSW to fSREQ over the tSS(RAMP)
time period.
In the event of a short-circuit or overload at start-up, the device will
move directly into CC (constant-current) mode. The device will go
into auto-restart (AR), if the output voltage does not rise above the
VFB(AR) threshold before the expiration of the soft-start timer (tSS(RAMP))
after handshake has occurred.
The secondary controller enables the FEEDBACK pin-short protection
mode (VFB(OFF)) at the end of the tSS(RAMP) time period. If the output
short maintains the FEEDBACK pin below the short-circuit threshold,
the secondary will stop requesting pulses triggering an auto-restart
cycle.
If the output voltage reaches regulation within the tSS(RAMP) time
period, the frequency ramp is immediately aborted and the secondary
controller is permitted to go full frequency. This will allow the
controller to maintain regulation in the event of a sudden transient
loading soon after regulation is achieved. The frequency ramp will
only be aborted if quasi-resonant-detection programming has already
occurred.
Maximum Secondary Inhibit Period
Secondary requests to initiate primary switching are inhibited to
maintain operation below maximum frequency and ensure minimum
off-time. Besides these constraints, secondary-cycle requests are
also inhibited during the “ON” time cycle of the primary switch (time
between the cycle request and detection of FORWARD pin falling
edge). The maximum time-out in the event that a FORWARD pin
falling edge is not detected after a cycle requested is ~30 ms.
Output Voltage Protection
In the event that the sensed voltage on the FEEDBACK pin is 2%
higher than the regulation threshold, a bleed current of ~2.5 mA
(3 mA max) is applied on the OUTPUT VOLTAGE pin (weak bleed).
This bleed current increases to ~200 mA (strong bleed) in the event
that the FEEDBACK pin voltage is raised beyond ~10% of the internal
FEEDBACK pin reference voltage. The current sink on the OUTPUT
VOLTAGE pin is intended to discharge the output voltage after
momentary overshoot events. The secondary does not relinquish
control to the primary during this mode of operation.
If the voltage on the FEEDBACK pin is sensed to be 20% higher than
the regulation threshold, a command is sent to the primary to either
latch-off or begin an auto-restart sequence (see Secondary Fault
Response in Feature Code Addendum). This integrated VOUT OVP can
be used independently from the primary sensed OVP or in conjunction.

www.power.com
Rev. S 03/23
InnoSwitch3-EP
During normal operation, the secondary will stop requesting pulses
from the primary to initiate an auto-restart cycle when the FEEDBACK
pin voltage falls below the VFB(OFF) threshold. The deglitch filter on the
protection mode is on for less than ~10 ms. By this mechanism, the
secondary will relinquish control after detecting that the FEEDBACK
pin is shorted to ground.
FORWARD Pin Voltage
Auto-Restart Thresholds
The FEEDBACK pin includes a comparator to detect when the
feedback voltage falls below VFB(AR), for a duration exceeding tFB(AR).
The secondary controller will relinquish control when this fault
condition is detected. This threshold is meant to limit the range of
constant current (CC) operation and is included to support high power
charger applications.
SECONDARY BYPASS Pin Overvoltage Protection
The InnoSwitch3-EP secondary controller features a SECONDARY
BYPASS pin OV feature similar to the PRIMARY BYPASS pin OV
feature. When the secondary is in control, in the event that the
SECONDARY BYPASS pin current exceeds IBPS(SD) (~7 mA) the
secondary will send a command to the primary to initiate an
auto-restart off-time (t AR(OFF)).
Output Constant Current Regulation/Output Over-Current
Protection
The InnoSwitch3-EP regulates the output current through an external
current sense resistor between the ISENSE and SECONDARY
GROUND pins and also controls output power in conjunction with the
output voltage sensed on the OUTPUT VOLTAGE pin. If constant
current regulation/accurate over-current protection is not required,
the ISENSE pin must be tied to the SECONDARY GROUND pin. Also
see ‘Peak Power Delivery’ section.
SR Disable Protection
In each cycle SR is only engaged if a set cycle was requested by the
secondary controller and the negative edge is detected on the
FORWARD pin. In the event that the voltage on the ISENSE pin
exceeds approximately 3 times the CC threshold, the SR FET drive is
disabled until the surge current has diminished to nominal levels.
PI-8147-102816
FEEDBACK Pin Short Detection
If the sensed FEEDBACK pin voltage is below VFB(OFF) at start-up, the
secondary controller will complete the handshake to take control of
the primary complete tSS(RAMP) and will stop requesting cycles to initiate
auto-restart (no cycle requests made to primary for longer than t AR(SK)
second triggers auto-restart).

SR Static Pull-Down
To ensure that the SR gate is held low when the secondary is not in
control, the SYNCHRONOUS RECTIFIER DRIVE pin has a nominally
“ON” device to pull the pin low and reduce any voltage on the SR gate
due to capacitive coupling from the FORWARD pin.
Open SR Protection
In order to protect against an open SYNCHRONOUS RECTIFIER
DRIVE pin system fault the secondary controller has a protection
mode to ensure the SYNCHRONOUS RECTIFIER DRIVE pin is
connected to an external FET. If the external capacitance on the
SYNCHRONOUS RECTIFIER DRIVE pin is below 100 pF, the device
will assume the SYNCHRONOUS RECTIFIER DRIVE pin is “open” and
there is no FET to drive. If the pin capacitance detected is above
100 pF, the controller will assume an SR FET is connected.
If there is an external current sense resistor on the IS pin, the
InnoSwitch has options to set the overload response in two different
ways.
If the device is configured to have the FEEDBACK pin auto-restart
enabled, once the load current reaches the current limit threshold set
by the IS pin resistor, the output voltage will fold back and autorestart will occur once the output voltage falls below the AR threshold
for a time period exceeding the AR timer.
If the device is configured for overload response, once the load
current exceeds the current sense threshold the output voltage does
not fold back. The auto-restart timer will begin and auto-restart
occurs if the load current remains higher than the current sense
threshold for a time period exceeding the AR timer.
In the event the SYNCHRONOUS RECTIFIER DRIVE pin is detected to
be open, the secondary controller will stop requesting pulses from
the primary to initiate auto-restart.
Intelligent Quasi-Resonant Mode Switching
In order to improve conversion efficiency and reduce switching
losses, the InnoSwitch3-EP features a means to force switching when
the voltage across the primary switch is near its minimum voltage
when the converter operates in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM).
This mode of operation is automatically engaged in DCM and disabled
once the converter moves to continuous-conduction mode (CCM).
Rather than detecting the magnetizing ring valley on the primaryside, the peak voltage of the FORWARD pin voltage as it rises above
the output voltage level is used to gate secondary requests to initiate
the switch “ON” cycle in the primary controller.
The secondary controller detects when the controller enters in
discontinuous-mode and opens secondary cycle request windows
corresponding to minimum switching voltage across the primary
power switch.
Quasi-Resonant (QR) mode is enabled for 20 ms after DCM is detected
or when ring amplitude (pk-pk) >2 V. Afterwards, QR switching is
disabled, at which point switching may occur at any time a secondary
request is initiated.
The secondary controller includes blanking of ~1 ms to prevent false
detection of primary “ON” cycle when the FORWARD pin rings below
ground. See Figure 8.
Peak Power Delivery
Output overload response depends on whether the IS pin is shorted
to ground or the design includes a current sense resistor to set the
overload threshold.

Figure 9. Current Sense Resistor in a Design.
The two cases where a current sense resistor is included in the
design are shown in the Figure 9 above.
If the IS pin is shorted to the GND pin, the overload response heavily
depends on the operating conditions. If the device is configured to
have feedback auto-restart enabled (VFB(AR)), auto-restart will occur if
the output voltage droops below the auto-restart threshold for longer
than the auto-restart timer (tFB(AR)). Otherwise, the auto-restart
occurs if the primary switches above the overload frequency limit
(fOVL) for longer than the auto-restart on-time (t AR).

Figure 10. Schematic DER-611, 5 V, 0.3 A and 12 V, 0.7 A for HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning) Application.
The circuit shown in Figure 10 is a low cost 5 V, 0.3 A and 12 V, 0.7 A
dual output power supply using INN3672C. This dual output design
features high efficient design satisfying cross regulation requirement
without a post-regulator.
Bridge rectifier BR1 rectifies the AC input supply. Capacitors C2 and
C3 provide filtering of the rectified AC input and together with
inductor L1 form a pi-filter to attenuate differential mode EMI.
Y capacitor C10 connected between the power supply output and
input help reduce common mode EMI.
Thermistor RT1 limits the inrush current when the power supply is
connected to the input AC supply.
Input fuse F1 provides protection against excess input current
resulting from catastrophic failure of any of the components in the
power supply. One end of the transformer primary is connected to
the rectified DC bus; the other is connected to the drain terminal of
the Switch inside the InnoSwitch3-EP IC (U1).
A low-cost RCD clamp formed by diode D1, resistors R22, R8, and
capacitor C4 limits the peak drain voltage of U1 at the instant of
turn-off of the Switch inside U1. The clamp helps to dissipate the
energy stored in the leakage reactance of transformer T1.
The InnoSwitch3-EP IC is self-starting, using an internal high-voltage
current source to charge the PRIMARY BYPASS pin capacitor (C6)
when AC is first applied. During normal operation the primary-side
block is powered from an auxiliary winding on the transformer T1.
Output of the auxiliary (or bias) winding is rectified using diode D7
and filtered using capacitor C5. Resistor R6 limits the current being
supplied to the PRIMARY BYPASS pin of InnoSwitch3-EP IC (U1). The
latch-off/auto-restart primary-side overvoltage protection is obtained
using Zener diode VR1 with current limiting resistor R26.
The secondary-side controller of the InnoSwitch3-EP IC provides
output voltage sensing, output current sensing and drive to a Switch
providing synchronous rectification. The 5 V secondary of the
transformer is rectified by SR FET Q1 and filtered by capacitor C18.
High frequency ringing during switching transients that would
otherwise create radiated EMI is reduced via a snubber (resistor R24
and capacitor C22). The 12 V secondary of the transformer is rectified
by SR FET Q2 and filtered by capacitor C19. High frequency ringing
during switching transients that would otherwise create radiated EMI
is reduced via a snubber (resistor R25 and capacitor C21).
Synchronous rectifications (SR) are provided by Switches Q1 and Q2.
Q1 and Q2 are turned on by the secondary-side controller inside IC
U1, based on the winding voltage sensed via resistor R9 and fed into
the FORWARD pin of the IC.
In continuous conduction mode of operation, the Switch is turned off
just prior to the secondary-side’s commanding a new switching cycle
from the primary. In discontinuous conduction mode of operation,
the power switch is turned off when the voltage drop across the
Switch falls below 0 V. Secondary-side control of the primary-side
power switch avoids any possibility of cross conduction of the two
switches and provides extremely reliable synchronous rectification.
The secondary-side of the IC is self-powered from either the
secondary winding forward voltage or the output voltage. Capacitor
C7 connected to the SECONDARY BYPASS pin of InnoSwitch3-EP IC
U1, provides decoupling for the internal circuitry.
Total output current is sensed by R12 between the IS and GROUND
pins with a threshold of approximately 35 mV to reduce losses. Once
the current sense threshold is exceeded the device adjusts the
number of switch pulses to maintain a fixed output current.

InnoSwitch3-EP
The output voltages are sensed via resistor divider R13, R16, and
R27, and output voltages are regulated so as to achieve a voltage of
1.265 V on the FEEDBACK pin. The 12 V phase boost circuit, R30 and
C24, in parallel with 12 V feedback resistor, R27, and 5 V phase boost
circuit, R29 and C23, in parallel with 5 V feedback resistor, R16,
reduce the output voltage ripples. Capacitor C8 provides noise
filtering of the signal at the FEEDBACK pin. Zener VR2 was added for
tighter cross-regulation to limit the 12 V output when it is unloaded.
Resistors R3 and R4 provide line voltage sensing and provide a current
to U1, which is proportional to the DC voltage across capacitor C3. At
approximately 100 VDC, the current through these resistors exceeds
the line undervoltage threshold, which results in enabling of U1. At
approximately 435 VDC, the current through these resistors exceeds
the line over voltage threshold, which results in disabling of U1.

Figure 11. 20 V, 3.25 A Notebook Adapter.
The circuit shown in Figure 11 is a 20 V, 3.25 A adapter using INN3679C.
This design is DOE Level 6 and EC CoC 5 compliant. Fuse F1 isolates
the circuit and provides protection from component failure, and the
common mode choke L1 and L2 with capacitor C1 attenuation for
EMI. Bridge rectifier BR1 rectifies the AC line voltage and provides a
full wave rectified DC across the filter capacitor C2. Capacitor C3 is
used to mitigate the common mode EMI.
Resistors R1 and R2 along with U2 discharges capacitor C1 when the
power supply is disconnected from AC mains.
One end of the transformer (T1) primary is connected to the rectified
DC bus; the other is connected to the drain terminal of the switch
inside the InnoSwitch3-EP IC (U1). Resistors R3 and R4 provide input
voltage sense protection for undervoltage and overvoltage conditions.
A low-cost RCD clamp formed by diode D1, resistors R5, R6, and R7,
and capacitor C4 limits the peak drain voltage of U1 at the instant of
turn off of the switch inside U1. The clamp helps to dissipate the
energy stored in the leakage reactance of transformer T1.
The IC is self-starting, using an internal high-voltage current source
to charge the BPP pin capacitor (C6) when AC is first applied. During
normal operation the primary-side block is powered from an auxiliary
winding on the transformer T1. Output of the auxiliary (or bias)
winding is rectified using diode D2 and filtered using capacitor C5.
Resistor R8 limits the current being supplied to the BPP pin of the
InnoSwitch3-EP IC (U1).
Output regulation is achieved using ramp time modulation control,
the frequency and ILIM of switching cycles are adjusted based on the
output load. At high load, most switching cycles are enabled which
have high value of ILIM in the selected ILIM range, and at light load
or no-load most cycles are disabled and the ones enabled have low
value of ILIM in the selected ILIM range. Once a cycle is enabled, the
switch will remain on until the primary current ramps to the device
current limit for the specific operating state.
Zener diode VR1 along with R9 and D3 offers primary sensed output
overvoltage protection. In a flyback converter, output of the auxiliary
winding tracks the output voltage of the converter. In case of
overvoltage at output of the converter, the auxiliary winding voltage
increases and causes breakdown of VR1 which then causes a current
to flow into the BPP pin of InnoSwitch3-EP IC U1. If the current
flowing into the BPP pin increases above the ISD threshold, the U1
controller will latch-off and prevent any further increase in output
voltage.
The secondary-side of the InnoSwitch3-EP IC provides output
voltage, output current sensing and drive to a MOSFET providing
synchronous rectification. The secondary of the transformer is
rectified by SR FET Q1 and filtered by capacitors C8 and C9.
Capacitors C15 and C17 are used to reduce the high frequency output
voltage ripple. High frequency ringing during switching transients
that would otherwise create radiated EMI is reduced via a RCD
snubber R11, C7 and D4. Diode D4 was used to minimize the
dissipation in resistor R11.
The gate of Q1 is turned on by secondary-side controller inside IC U1,
based on the winding voltage sensed via resistor R12 and fed into the
FWD pin of the IC.
In continuous conduction mode of operation, the MOSFET is turned
off just prior to the secondary-side commanding a new switching
cycle from the primary. In discontinuous mode of operation, the
power switch is turned off when the voltage drop across the MOSFET
falls below a threshold of approximately VSR(TH) mV. Secondary-side
control of the primary-side power switch avoids any possibility of
cross conduction of the two switches and provides extremely reliable
synchronous rectification.
The secondary-side of the IC U1 is self-powered from either the
secondary winding forward voltage or the output voltage. Capacitor
C10 connected to the BPS pin of IC U1 provides decoupling for the
internal circuitry. Capacitor C11 provides decoupling for the VO pin.
Below the CC threshold, the device operates in constant voltage
mode. During constant voltage mode operation, output voltage
regulation is achieved through sensing the output voltage via divider
resistors R15 and R16. The voltage across R16 is fed into the FB pin
with an internal reference voltage threshold of 1.265 V. Output
voltage is regulated so as to achieve a voltage of 1.265 V on the FB
pin. Capacitor C13 provides noise filtering of the signal at the FB pin.

Rev. S 03/23
InnoSwitch3-EP
During CC operation, when the output voltage falls, the device will
directly power itself from the secondary winding. During the on-time
of the primary-side power switch, the forward voltage that appears
across the secondary winding is used to charge the decoupling
capacitor C10 via resistor R12 and an internal regulator. This allows
output current regulation to be maintained down to ~3.4 V. Output
current is sensed by monitoring the voltage drop across resistor R14
between the IS and SECONDARY GROUND pins. A threshold of
approximately 35 mV reduces losses. C12 provides filtering on the IS
pin from external noise. Once the internal current sense threshold is
exceeded the device regulates the number of switch pulses to
maintain a fixed output current.

Key Application Considerations
Output Power Table
The data sheet output power table (Table 1) represents the maximum
practical continuous output power level that can be obtained under
the following conditions:
1. The minimum DC input voltage is 90 V or higher for 85 VAC input,
220 V or higher for 230 VAC input or 115 VAC with a voltagedoubler. Input capacitor voltage should be sized to meet these
criteria for AC input designs.
2. Efficiency assumptions depend on power level. Smallest device
power level assumes efficiency >84% increasing to >89% for the
largest device (for thermally constrained environment efficiency
should be >92% with larger devices).
3. Transformer primary inductance tolerance of ±10%.
4. Reflected output voltage (VOR) is set to maintain KP = 0.8 at
minimum input voltage for universal line and KP = 1 for high input
line designs.
5. Maximum conduction losses for adapters is limited to 0.6 W, 0.8 W
for open frame designs.
6. Increased current limit is selected for peak and open frame power
columns and standard current limit for adapter columns.
7. The part is board mounted with SOURCE pins soldered to a
sufficient area of copper and/or a heat sink to keep the SOURCE
pin temperature at or below 110 °C.
8. Ambient temperature of 50 °C for open frame designs and 40 °C
for sealed adapters.
9. Below a value of 1, KP is the ratio of ripple to peak primary
current. To prevent reduced power delivery, due to premature
termination of switching cycles, a transient KP limit of ≥0.25 is
recommended. This prevents the initial current limit (IINT) from
being exceeded at Switch turn-on.
Primary-Side Overvoltage Protection (Latch-Off/
Auto-Restart Mode)
Primary-side output overvoltage protection provided by the
InnoSwitch3-EP IC uses an internal protection depending on H Code
that is triggered by a threshold current of ISD into the PRIMARY
BYPASS pin. In addition to an internal filter, the PRIMARY BYPASS pin
capacitor forms an external filter helping noise immunity. For the
bypass capacitor to be effective as a high frequency filter, the
capacitor should be located as close as possible to the SOURCE and
PRIMARY BYPASS pins of the device.
The primary sensed OVP function can be realized by connecting a
series combination of a Zener diode, a resistor and a blocking diode
from the rectified and filtered bias winding voltage supply to the
PRIMARY BYPASS pin. The rectified and filtered bias winding output
voltage may be higher than expected (up to 1.5X or 2X the desired
value) due to poor coupling of the bias winding with the output
winding and the resulting ringing on the bias winding voltage
waveform. It is therefore recommended that the rectified bias
winding voltage be measured. This measurement should be ideally
done at the lowest input voltage and with highest load on the output.
This measured voltage should be used to select the components
required to achieve primary sensed OVP. It is recommended that a
Zener diode with a clamping voltage approximately 6 V lower than the
bias winding rectified voltage at which OVP is expected to be
triggered be selected. A forward voltage drop of 1 V can be assumed
for the blocking diode. A small signal standard recovery diode is
recommended. The blocking diode prevents any reverse current
discharging the bias capacitor during start-up. Finally, the value of
the series resistor required can be calculated such that a current
higher than ISD will flow into the PRIMARY BYPASS pin during an
output overvoltage.
Reducing No-Load Consumption
The InnoSwitch3-EP IC can start in self-powered mode, drawing
energy from the BYPASS pin capacitor charged through an internal
current source. Use of a bias winding is however required to provide
supply current to the PRIMARY BYPASS pin once the InnoSwitch3-EP
IC has started switching. An auxiliary (bias) winding provided on the
transformer serves this purpose. A bias winding driver supply to the
PRIMARY BYPASS pin enables design of power supplies with no-load
power consumption less than 15 mW. Resistor R6 shown in Figure 10
should be adjusted to achieve the lowest no-load input power.
Secondary-Side Overvoltage Protection (Auto-Restart Mode)
The secondary-side output overvoltage protection provided by the
InnoSwitch3-EP IC uses an internal auto restart circuit that is
triggered by an input current exceeding a threshold of IBPS(SD) into the
SECONDARY BYPASS pin. The direct output sensed OVP function can
be realized by connecting a Zener diode from the output to the
SECONDARY BYPASS pin. The Zener diode voltage needs to be the
difference between 1.25 × VOUT and 4.4 V − the SECONDARY BYPASS
pin voltage. It is necessary to add a low value resistor in series with
the OVP Zener diode to limit the maximum current into the
SECONDARY BYPASS pin.
Selection of Components
Components for InnoSwitch3-EP
Primary-Side Circuit
BPP Capacitor
A capacitor connected from the PRIMARY BYPASS pin of the
InnoSwitch3-EP IC to GND provides decoupling for the primary-side
controller and also selects current limit. A 0.47 mF or 4.7 mF capacitor
may be used. Though electrolytic capacitors can be used, often
surface mount multi-layer ceramic capacitors are preferred for use on
double sided boards as they enable placement of capacitors close to
the IC. Their small size also makes it ideal for compact power supplies.
At least 10 V, 0805 or larger size rated X5R or X7R dielectric capacitors
are recommended to ensure that minimum capacitance requirements
are met. The ceramic capacitor type designations, such as X7R, X5R
from different manufacturers or different product families do not have
the same voltage coefficients. It is recommended that capacitor data
sheets be reviewed to ensure that the selected capacitor will not have
more than 20% drop in capacitance at 5 V. Do not use Y5U or Z5U /
0603 rated MLCC due to this type of SMD ceramic capacitor has very
poor voltage and temperature coefficient characteristics.
Bias Winding and External Bias Circuit
The internal regulator connected from the DRAIN pin of the Switch to
the PRIMARY BYPASS pin of the InnoSwitch3-EP primary-side
controller charges the capacitor connected to the PRIMARY BYPASS
pin to achieve start-up. A bias winding should be provided on the
transformer with a suitable rectifier and filter capacitor to create a
bias supply that can be used to supply at least 1 mA of current to the
PRIMARY BYPASS pin.
The turns ratio for the bias winding should be selected such that 7 V
is developed across the bias winding at the lowest rated output
voltage of the power supply at the lowest load condition. If the
voltage is lower than this, no-load input power will increase.
13
www.power.com
Rev. S 03/23
InnoSwitch3-EP
The bias current from the external circuit should be set to IS1(MAX) to
achieve lowest no-load power consumption when operating the
power supply at 230 VAC input, (VBPP > 5 V). A glass passivated
standard recovery rectifier diode with low junction capacitance is
recommended to avoid the snappy recovery typically seen with fast
or ultrafast diodes that can lead to higher radiated EMI.
An aluminum capacitor of at least 22 mF with a voltage rating 1.2
times greater than the highest voltage developed across the capacitor
is recommended. Highest voltage is typically developed across this
capacitor when the supply is operated at the highest rated output
voltage and load with the lowest input AC supply voltage.
Line UV and OV Protection
Resistors connected from the UNDER/OVER INPUT VOLTAGE pin to
the DC bus enable sensing of input voltage to provide line
undervoltage and overvoltage protection. For a typical universal
input application, a resistor value of 3.8 MW is recommended.
Figure 17 shows circuit configurations that enable either the line UV
or the line OV feature only to be enabled.
InnoSwitch3-EP features a primary sensed OV protection feature that
can be used to latch-off the power supply. Once the power supply is
latched off, it can be reset if the UNDER/OVER INPUT VOLTAGE pin
current is reduced to zero. Once the power supply is latched off,
even after the input supply is turned off, it can take considerable
amount of time to reset the InnoSwitch3-EP controller as the energy
stored in the DC bus will continue to provide current to the controller.
A fast AC reset can be achieved using the modified circuit configuration
shown in Figure 18. The voltage across capacitor CS reduces rapidly
after input supply is disconnected reducing current into the INPUT
VOLTAGE MONITOR pin of the InnoSwitch3-EP IC and resetting the
InnoSwitch3-EP controller.
Primary Sensed OVP (Overvoltage Protection)
The voltage developed across the output of the bias winding tracks
the power supply output voltage. Though not precise, a reasonably
accurate detection of the amplitude of the output voltage can be
achieved by the primary-side controller using the bias winding
voltage. A Zener diode connected from the bias winding output to
the PRIMARY BYPASS pin can reliably detect a secondary overvoltage
fault and cause the primary-side controller to latch-off or auto-restart
depending on H Code. It is recommended that the highest voltage at
the output of the bias winding should be measured for normal steadystate conditions (at full load and lowest input voltage) and also under
transient load conditions. A Zener diode rated for 1.25 times this
measured voltage will typically ensure that OVP protection will only
operate in case of a fault.
Primary-Side Snubber Clamp
A snubber circuit should be used on the primary-side as shown in
Figure 10. This prevents excess voltage spikes at the drain of the
Switch at the instant of turn-off of the Switch during each switching
cycle though conventional RCD clamps can be used. RCDZ clamps
offer the highest efficiency. The circuit example shown in Figure 10
uses an RCD clamp with a resistor in series with the clamp diode.
This resistor dampens the ringing at the drain and also limits the
reverse current through the clamp diode during reverse recovery.
Standard recovery glass passivated diodes with low junction
capacitance are recommended as these enable partial energy
recovery from the clamp thereby improving efficiency.
Components for InnoSwitch3-EP
Secondary-Side Circuit
SECONDARY BYPASS Pin – Decoupling Capacitor
A 2.2 mF, 10 V / X7R or X5R /0805 or larger size multi-layer ceramic
capacitor should be used for decoupling the SECONDARY BYPASS pin
of the InnoSwitch3-EP IC. Since the SECONDARY BYPASS Pin voltage
needs to be 4.4 V earlier than output voltage reaches the regulation
voltage level, the significantly higher BPS capacitor value could lead
to output voltage overshoot during start-up. Values lower than 1.5 mF
may not enough capacitance, which can cause unpredictable operation.
The capacitor must be located adjacent to the IC pins. At least 10 V
is recommended voltage rating to give enough margin from BPS
voltage, and 0805 size is necessary to guarantee the actual value in
operation since the capacitance of ceramic capacitors drops
significantly with applied DC voltage especially with small package
SMD such as 0603. 6.3 V / 0603 / X5U or Z5U type of MLCC is not
recommended for this reason. The ceramic capacitor type designations,
such as X7R, X5R from different manufacturers or different product
families do not have the same voltage coefficients. It is recommended
that capacitor data sheets be reviewed to ensure that the selected
capacitor will not have more than 20% drop in capacitance at 4.4 V.
Capacitors with X5R or X7R dielectrics should be used for best results.
FORWARD Pin Resistor
A 47 W, 5% resistor is recommended to ensure sufficient IC supply
current. A higher or lower resistor value should not be used as it can
affect device operation such as the timing of the synchronous rectifier
drive. Figures 11, 12, 13 and 14 below show examples of unacceptable
and acceptable FORWARD pin voltage waveforms. VD is forward

0V
VSR(TH)
There is a slight delay between the commencement of the flyback
cycle and the turn-on of the SR FET. During this time, the body diode
of the SR FET conducts. If an external parallel Schottky diode is
used, this current mostly flows through the Schottky diode. Once the
InnoSwitch3-EP IC detects end of the flyback cycle, voltage across
SR FET RDS(ON) reaches 0 V, any remaining portion of the flyback cycle
is completed with the current commutating to the body diode of the
SR FET or the external parallel Schottky diode. Use of the Schottky
diode parallel to the SR FET may provide higher efficiency and
typically a 1 A surface mount Schottky diode is adequate. However,
the gains are modest. For a 5 V, 2 A design the external diode adds
~0.1% to full load efficiency at 85 VAC and ~0.2% at 230 VAC.
The voltage rating of the Schottky diode and the SR FET should be at
least 1.4 times the expected peak inverse voltage (PIV) based on the
turns ratio used for the transformer. 60 V rated FETs and diodes are
suitable for most 5 V designs that use a VOR < 60 V, and 100 V rated
FETs and diodes are suitable for 12 V designs.
The interaction between the leakage reactance of the output
windings and the SR FET capacitance (COSS) leads to ringing on the
voltage waveform at the instance of voltage reversal at the winding
due to primary Switch turn-on. This ringing can be suppressed using
an RC snubber connected across the SR FET. A snubber resistor in
the range of 10 W to 47 W may be used (higher resistance values lead
to noticeable drop in efficiency). A capacitance value of 1 nF to 2.2 nF
is adequate for most designs.
Output Capacitor
Low ESR aluminum electrolytic capacitors are suitable for use with
most high frequency flyback switching power supplies, though the
use of aluminum-polymer solid capacitors have gained considerable
popularity due to their compact size, stable temperature characteristics,
extremely low ESR and high RMS ripple current rating. These
capacitors enable the design of ultra-compact chargers and adapters.

Figure 16. Acceptable FORWARD Pin Waveform before Handshake with Body
Diode Conduction During Flyback Cycle.
SR Switch Operation and Selection
Although a simple diode rectifier and filter works for the output, use
of an SR FET enables the significant improvement in operating
efficiency often necessary to meet the European CoC and the U.S.
DoE energy efficiency requirements. The secondary-side controller
turns on the SR FET once the flyback cycle begins. The SR FET gate
should be tied directly to the SYNCHRONOUS RECTIFIER DRIVE pin
of the InnoSwitch3-EP IC (no additional resistors should be connected
in the gate circuit of the SR FET). The SR FET is turned off once the
VDS of the SR FET reaches 0 V.
A FET with 18 mW RDS(ON) is appropriate for a 5 V, 2 A output, and a
FET with 8 mW RDS(ON) is suitable for designs rated with a 12 V, 3 A
output. The SR FET driver uses the SECONDARY BYPASS pin for its
supply rail, and this voltage is typically 4.4 V. A FET with a high
threshold voltage is therefore not suitable; FETs with a threshold
Typically, 200 mF to 300 mF of aluminum-polymer capacitance per
ampere of output current is adequate. The other factor that
influences choice of the capacitance is the output ripple. Ensure that
capacitors with a voltage rating higher than the highest output
voltage plus sufficient margin be used.
Output Voltage Feedback Circuit
The output voltage FEEDBACK pin voltage is 1.265 V [VFB]. A voltage
divider network should be connected at the output of the power
supply to divide the output voltage such that the voltage at the
FEEDBACK pin will be 1.265 V when the output is at its desired
voltage. The lower feedback divider resistor should be tied to the
SECONDARY GROUND pin. A 300 pF (or smaller) decoupling
capacitor should be connected at the FEEDBACK pin to the
SECONDARY GROUND pin of the InnoSwitch3-EP IC. This capacitor
should be placed close to the InnoSwitch3-EP IC.

Primary Clamp Circuit
A clamp is used to limit peak voltage on the DRAIN pin at turn-off.

EMI, minimize the loop from the clamp components to the
transformer and IC.

Thermal Considerations
The SOURCE pin is internally connected to the IC lead frame and
provides the main path to remove heat from the device. Therefore
the SOURCE pin should be connected to a copper area underneath
the IC to act not only as a single point ground, but also as a heat
sink. As this area is connected to the quiet source node, it can be
maximized for good heat sinking without compromising EMI
performance. Similarly for the output SR Switch, maximize the PCB
area connected to the pins on the package through which heat is
dissipated from the SR Switch.

InnoSwitch3-EP
Sufficient copper area should be provided on the board to keep the IC
temperature safely below the absolute maximum limits. It is
recommended that the copper area provided for the copper plane on
which the SOURCE pin of the IC is soldered is sufficiently large to
keep the IC temperature below 110 °C when operating the power
supply at full rated load and at the lowest rated input AC supply
voltage.
Y Capacitor
The Y capacitor should be placed directly between the primary input
filter capacitor positive terminal and the output positive or return
terminal of the transformer secondary. This routes high amplitude
common mode surge currents away from the IC. Note – if an input
pi-filter (C, L, C) EMI filter is used then the inductor in the filter should
be placed between the negative terminals of the input filter
capacitors.
Output SR Switch
For best performance, the area of the loop connecting the secondary
winding, the output SR Switch and the output filter capacitor, should
be minimized.
ESD
Sufficient clearance should be maintained (>8 mm) between the
primary-side and secondary-side circuits to enable easy compliance
with any ESD / hi-pot requirements.
The spark gap is best placed directly between output positive rail and
one of the AC inputs. In this configuration a 6.4 mm spark gap is
often sufficient to meet the creepage and clearance requirements of
many applicable safety standards. This is less than the primary to
secondary spacing because the voltage across spark gap does not
exceed the peak of the AC input.
Drain Node
The drain switching node is the dominant noise generator. As such
the components connected the drain node should be placed close to
the IC and away from sensitive feedback circuits. The clamp circuit
components should be located physically away from the PRIMARY
BYPASS pin and trace lengths minimized.
The loop area of the loop comprising of the input rectifier filter
capacitor, the primary winding and the IC primary-side Switch should
be kept as small as possible.

Recommendations for EMI Reduction
Consider the following for design optimization:
1. Appropriate component placement and small loop areas of the
primary and secondary power circuits help minimize radiated and
conducted EMI. Care should be taken to achieve a compact loop
area.
2. A small capacitor in parallel to the clamp diode on the primaryside can help reduce radiated EMI.
3. A resistor in series with the bias winding helps reduce radiated EMI.
4. Common mode chokes are typically required at the input of the
power supply to sufficiently attenuate common mode noise.
However, the same performance can be achieved by using shield
windings on the transformer. Shield windings can also be used in
conjunction with common mode filter inductors at input to
improve conducted and radiated EMI margins.
5. Adjusting SR switch RC snubber component values can help
reduce high frequency radiated and conducted EMI.
6. A pi-filter comprising differential inductors and capacitors can be
used in the input rectifier circuit to reduce low frequency
differential EMI.
7. A 1 mF ceramic capacitor connected at the output of the power
supply helps to reduce radiated EMI.
1. Higher VOR allows increased power delivery at VMIN, which
minimizes the value of the input capacitor and maximizes power
delivery from a given InnoSwitch3-EP device.
2. Higher VOR reduces the voltage stress on the output diodes and
SR Switches.
3. Higher VOR increases leakage inductance which reduces power
supply efficiency.
4. Higher VOR increases peak and RMS current on the secondary-side
which may increase secondary-side copper and diode losses.
Recommendations for Transformer Design
Transformer design must ensure that the power supply delivers the
rated power at the lowest input voltage. The lowest voltage on the
rectified DC bus depends on the capacitance of the filter capacitor
used. At least 2 mF/W is recommended to always keep the DC bus
voltage above 70 V, though 3 mF/W provides sufficient margin. The
ripple on the DC bus should be measured to confirm the design
calculations for transformer primary-winding inductance selection.
Switching Frequency (fSW)
It is a unique feature in InnoSwitch3-EP that for full load, the designer
can set the switching frequency to between 25 kHz to 95 kHz. For
lowest temperature, the switching frequency should be set to around
60 kHz. For a smaller transformer, the full load switching frequency
needs to be set to 95 kHz. When setting the full load switching
frequency it is important to consider primary inductance and peak
current tolerances to ensure that average switching frequency does
not exceed 110 kHz which may trigger auto-restart due to overload
protection. The following table provides a guide to frequency
selection based on device size. This represents the best compromise
between overall device losses (conduction losses and switching
losses) based on the size of the integrated high-voltage Switch.

Reflected Output Voltage, VOR (V)
This parameter describes the effect on the primary Switch drain
voltage of the secondary-winding voltage during diode/SR conduction
which is reflected back to the primary through the turns ratio of the
transformer. To make full use of QR capability and ensure flattest
efficiency over line/load, set reflected output voltage (VOR) to maintain
KP = 0.8 at minimum input voltage for universal input and
KP = 1 for high-line-only conditions.
There are some exceptions to this. For very high output currents the
VOR should be reduced to get highest efficiency. For output voltages
above 15 V, VOR should be higher to maintain an acceptable PIV across
the output synchronous rectifier.
Ripple to Peak Current Ratio, KP
A KP below 1 indicates continuous conduction mode, where KP is the
ratio of ripple-current to peak-primary-current (Figure 20).
KP ≡ KRP = IR / IP
A value of KP higher than 1, indicates discontinuous conduction mode.
In this case KP is the ratio of primary Switch off-time to the secondary
diode conduction-time.
KP ≡ KDP = (1 – D) x T/ t = VOR × (1 – DMAX) / ((VMIN – VDS) × DMAX)
It is recommended that a KP close to 0.9 at the minimum expected DC
bus voltage should be used for most InnoSwitch3-EP designs. A KP

Transformer Primary Inductance, LP
Once the lowest operating input voltage, switching frequency at full
load, and required VOR are determined, the transformers primary
inductance can be calculated. The PIXls design spreadsheet can be
used to assist in designing the transformer.
Quick Design Checklist
As with any power supply, the operation of all InnoSwitch3-EP
designs should be verified on the bench to make sure that component
limits are not exceeded under worst-case conditions.
As a minimum, the following tests are strongly recommended:
1. Maximum Drain Voltage – Verify that VDS of InnoSwitch3-EP and
SR FET do not exceed 90% of breakdown voltages at the highest
input voltage and peak (overload) output power in normal
operation and during start-up.
2. Maximum Drain Current – At maximum ambient temperature,
maximum input voltage and peak output (overload) power.
Review drain current waveforms for any signs of transformer
saturation or excessive leading-edge current spikes at start-up.
Repeat tests under steady-state conditions and verify that the
leading edge current spike is below ILIMIT(MIN) at the end of tLEB(MIN).
Under all conditions, the maximum drain current for the primary
Switch should be below the specified absolute maximum ratings.
3. Thermal Check – At specified maximum output power, minimum
input voltage and maximum ambient temperature, verify that
temperature specification limits for InnoSwitch3-EP IC,
transformer, output SR FET, and output capacitors are not
exceeded. Enough thermal margin should be allowed for
part-to-part variation of the RDS(ON) of the InnoSwitch3-EP IC.
Under low-line, maximum power, a maximum InnoSwitch3-EP
SOURCE pin temperature of 110 °C is recommended to allow for
these variations.
Design Considerations When Using 750 V and
900 V PowiGaN Devices
For a flyback converter configuration, typical voltage waveform at the
DRAIN pin of the IC is shown in Figure 22 for 750 V device and Figure
23 for 900 V device.
VOR is the reflected output voltage across the primary winding when
the secondary is conducting. VBUS is the DC voltage connected to one
end of the transformer primary winding.
In addition to VBUS+VOR, the drain also sees a large voltage spike at
turn off that is caused by the energy stored in the leakage inductance
of the primary winding. To keep the drain voltage from exceeding the
rated maximum continuous drain voltage, a clamp circuit is needed
across the primary winding. The forward recovery of the clamp diode
will add a spike at the instant of turn-OFF of the primary switch. VCLM
in Figure 22 and Figure 23 is the combined clamp voltage including
the spike. The peak drain voltage of the primary switch is the total of
VBUS, VOR and VCLM.
VOR and the clamp voltage VCLM should be selected such that the peak
drain voltage is lower than 650 V for 750 V device and 810 V for 900 V
device for all normal operating conditions. This provides sufficient
margin to ensure that occasional increase in voltage during line
transients such as line surges will maintain the peak drain voltage
well below 750 V and 900 V under abnormal transient operating
conditions. This ensures excellent long term reliability and design
margin.
To make full use of QR capability and ensure flattest efficiency over
line/load, set reflected output voltage (VOR) to maintain KP = 0.8 at
minimum input voltage for universal input and KP ≥ 1 for high-lineonly conditions.
Consider the following for design optimization:
1. Higher VOR allows increased power delivery at VMIN, which
minimizes the value of the input capacitor and maximizes power
delivery from a given PowiGaN device.
2. Higher VOR reduces the voltage stress on the output diodes and
SR FETs.
3. Higher VOR increases leakage inductance which reduces power
supply efficiency.
4. Higher VOR increases peak and RMS current on the secondary-side
which may increase secondary-side copper and diode losses.
There are some exceptions to this. For very high output currents the
VOR should be reduced to get highest efficiency. For output voltages
above 15 V, VOR should be maintained higher to maintain an
acceptable PIV across the output synchronous rectifier.
VOR choice will affect the operating efficiency and should be selected
carefully. Table below shows the typical range of VOR for optimal
performance:
