Preliminary Application Information
The RT9591 integrates a constant peak current controller for charging photoflash capacitor, an IGBT driver for igniting flash tube, and a voltage detector with open drain output to provide a cost effective photoflash solution. The photoflash capacitor charger uses constant primary peak current and constant secondary valley current control to efficiently charge the photoflash capacitor. Pulling the CHARGE pin high initiates the charging cycle. During ON time, the primary current ramps up linearly according to VBAT and primary inductance. A resistor connecting to CS pin determines the ON time of primary NMOS and consequently the primary peak current. During the OFF time, the energy stored in the flyback transformer is boosted to the output capacitor. The secondary current decreases linearly at a rate determined by the secondary inductance and the output voltage (neglecting the voltage drop of the diode). The secondary current is monitored by the IMCD pin. When the secondary current drops below 10mA, ON time starts again. The charging cycle repeats itself and charges the output voltage. The output voltage is sensed by a voltage divider connecting to the anode of the rectifying diode. When the output voltage reaches the desired voltage set by resistor divider, the HV detector will terminate the charging cycle, disable the charging block and pull high the STAT pin. The voltage sensing path is cut off when charging completed to minimize the output voltage decay. Both the CHARGE and STAT pins can be easily interfaced to a microprocessor in a digital system. Transformer The flyback transformer should be appropriately designed to ensure effective and efficient operation. 1. Turns Ratio The turns ratio of transformer (N) should be high enough so that the absolute maximum voltage rating for the NMOS drain to source voltage is not exceeded. Choose the minimum turns ratio according to the following formula: VOUT: Target Output Voltage
RT9591
VDS(MAX): Maximum drain to source voltage of NMOS 2. Primary Inductance Each switching cycle, energy transferred to the output capacitor is proportional to the primary inductance for a constant primary current. The higher the primary inductance is, the higher the charging efficiency will be. Besides, the RT9591 has a 360ns minimum-off time for correct current and voltage sensing. To ensure the charger operating in continuous conduction mode, the primary inductance should be high enough according to the following formula:
-9 LPRI ≥ 430 x 10 VOUT N x IPK - PRI
VOUT: Target Output Voltage N : Transformer turns ratio IPK-PRI : Primary peak current 430 x 10−9 : The maximum value of minimum-off time. 3. Leakage Inductance and Parasitic Capacitance The leakage inductance of the transformer results in the first spike voltage when NMOS turns off as shown in Figure 4. The spike voltage is proportional to the leakage inductance. The spike voltage must not exceed the dynamic rating of the NMOS drain to source voltage. Wellcoupling winding design decreases the leakage inductance. However, well-coupling winding design usually results in large parasitic capacitance between windings. The parasitic capacitance consequently causes initial current swing when NMOS turns on as shown in Figure 5. Trade off is necessary between leakage inductance and parasitic capacitance.

Spike voltage
Preliminary
Spike Voltage @Switching
The peak reverse voltage of the diode is approximately: VPK-R ≈ VOUT + (N x VBAT) The peak current of the diode equals primary peak current divide transformer turn ratio as the following equation: IPK-SEC = IPK-PRI/N Note: N is transformer turns ratio.
VSW (10V/Div)
I PRI (1A/Div)
NMOS The NMOS is the switching component of the flyback converter. Select adequate drain to source voltage and NMOS turn ON drain current is very important. For the RT9591 typical application circuit, If VOUT = 300V, VBAT = 6.5V, transformer turn ratio N = 15. VDS(MIN) = 300/15 + 6.5 = 26.5V. The NMOS minimum drain to source voltage should be greater than 26.5V.

In addition, make sure that VDD is higher than VGS(th) (Gate threshold voltage) so as to sufficiently turn on the MOSFET. Capacitor X5R ceramic capacitor ≥ 10uF/10V is recommended for input capacitor to well decouple the switching current. Figure 6 and Figure 7 compare the input current waveforms with different input capacitors.

4. Transformer Secondary Capacitance Any capacitance on the secondary can severely affect the efficiency. A small secondary capacitance is multiplied by N2 when reflected to the primary side. This capacitance forms a resonant circuit with the primary leakage inductance of the transformer. Therefore, both the primary leakage inductance and secondary side capacitance should be minimized. Rectifying Diode The rectifying diode should be with short reverse recovery time (small parasitic capacitance). Large parasitic capacitance increases switching loss and lowers charging efficiency. In addition, the peak reverse voltage and peak current of the diode should be sufficient.

Adjustable Output Voltage The RT9591 senses output voltage by a voltage divider connecting to the anode of the rectifying diode during OFF time. This eliminates power loss at voltage-sensing circuit when charging completed. R3 to (R1+R2) ratio determines the output voltage as shown in the application circuit Figure1. The feedback reference voltage is 0.98V. If VOUT = 300V, in Figure 1 Photoflash Capacitor Charger Application according to the following equation:
VOUT = VFB × (1+ R1+ R2 R3 ), so R1+ R2 R3 = 305
Output Voltage (100V/Div)
Time (1s/Div)
Figure 7 Adjustable Input Current The RT9591 simply adjusts peak primary current by a resistor RCS connecting to CS pin as shown in Function Block Diagram. RCS paralleled with internal 1MΩ resistor determines the ON time of primary NMOS. During the ON time, the primary current ramps linearly with a slope = VBAT/LPRI. Consequently, the current setting resister (RCS) could be calculated as: Ra = (IPK - PRI − 8 x 10 -3 x N) x LPRI 30 x 10 -12 1M x Ra (Ω) 1M − Ra
R3 is recommend 1KΩ; R1 and R2 are used 150KΩ for reducing parasitic capacitance coupling effect of FB pin. R1 and R2 MUST be greater than 0805 size resister for enduring secondary HV. Lower Charging Current at Low Battery Voltage The RT9591 integrates a voltage detector with open drain output. This voltage detector is specially designed for lowering peak primary current and minimizing the impact to battery voltage at low VBAT condition as shown in Figure 8. The voltage detector senses VBAT through a resister divider R6 and R7 and compares it with internal 1V reference voltage. When the sensed voltage is lower than the reference voltage, VDOUT pin goes low and changes the resistance connecting to CS pin and the ON time. For example, if R6 equal 1.5MΩ and R7equal 1MΩ, VDOUT pin change status form open to ground when VBAT voltage under 2.5V. And current setting resister R4 and R5 can set different resistance for different input current when VBAT voltage under detector voltage. Figure 9 shows the lower charging current waveform. When VBAT voltage under 2.5V, the input average current become approximately 600mA to 460mA.

The IPK - PRI setting must ≥
430 x 10 -9 x VOUT , N x LPRI
where 430 x 10-9 is the maximum value of minimum off time. If lower IPK-PRI setting limitation is required, you may change transformer to incease N x LPRI product.
