Description
Features
• 800 V avalanche rugged power section
• PWM operation with frequency jittering for low
EMI
• Operating frequency:
– 60 kHz for L type
– 115 kHz for H type
The device is an off-line converter with an 800 V
avalanche ruggedness power section, a PWM
controller, user defined overcurrent limit,
protection against feedback network
disconnection, hysteretic thermal protection, soft
start up and safe auto restart after any fault
condition. It is able to power itself directly from the
rectified mains, eliminating the need for an
auxiliary bias winding. Advance frequency jittering
reduces EMI filter cost. Burst mode operation and
the devices very low consumption both help to
meet the standard set by energy saving
regulations.
• No need of auxiliary winding for low power

VDD
Supply voltage of the control section. This pin provides the charging

LIM
This pin allows setting the drain current limitation to a lower value
respect to IDlim, which is the default one. The limit can be reduced by
connecting an external resistor between this pin and GND. In case of
high electrical noise, a capacitor could be connected between this pin
and GND, the capacitor value must be lower than 470 nF in order to
not impact the functionality of the pin. The pin can be left open if
default drain current limitation, IDlim, is used.
FB
Inverting input of the internal trans conductance error amplifier.
Connecting the converter output to this pin through a single resistor
results in an output voltage equal to the error amplifier reference
voltage (see VFB_REF on Table 8). An external resistors divider is
required for higher output voltages.

Power section

VIPER16
Power section
The power section is implemented with an n-channel power MOSFET with a breakdown
voltage of 800 V min. and a typical RDS(on) of 20 Ω. It includes a SenseFET structure to
allow a virtually lossless current sensing and the thermal sensor.
The gate driver of the power MOSFET is designed to supply a controlled gate current during
both turn-ON and turn-OFF in order to minimize common mode EMI. During UVLO
conditions, an internal pull-down circuit holds the gate low in order to ensure that the power
MOSFET cannot be turned ON accidentally.
8
High voltage current generator
The high voltage current generator is supplied by the DRAIN pin. At the first start up of the
converter it is enabled when the voltage across the input bulk capacitor reaches the
VDRAIN_START threshold, sourcing a IDDch1 current (see Table 7 on page 8); as the VDD
voltage reaches the VDDon threshold, the power section starts switching and the high
voltage current generator is turned OFF. The VIPer16 is powered by the energy stored in
the VDD capacitor.
In steady state condition, if the self biasing function is used, the high voltage current
generator is activated between VDDCSon and VDDon (see Table 7 on page 8), delivering
IDDch2, see Table 7 on page 8 to the VDD capacitor during the MOSFET off time (see
Figure 21 on page 16).
The device can also be supplied through the auxiliary winding; in this case the high voltage
current source is disabled during steady-state operation, provided that VDD is above
VDDCSon.
At converter power-down, the VDD voltage drops and the converter activity stops as it falls
below VDDoff threshold (see Table 7 on page 8).

Oscillator
Oscillator
The switching frequency is internally fixed at 60 kHz (part number VIPER16LN or LD) or 115
kHz (part number VIPER16HN or HD).
In both cases the switching frequency is modulated by approximately ±4 kHz (60 kHz
version) or ±8 kHz (115 kHz version) at 230 Hz (typical) rate, so that the resulting spreadspectrum action distributes the energy of each harmonic of the switching frequency over a
number of sideband harmonics having the same energy on the whole but smaller
amplitudes.
10
Soft start-up
During the converters' start-up phase, the soft-start function progressively increases the
cycle-by-cycle drain current limit, up to the default value IDlim. By this way the drain current
is further limited and the output voltage is progressively increased reducing the stress on the
secondary diode. The soft-start time is internally fixed to tSS, see typical value
on Table 8 on page 9, and the function is activated for any attempt of converter start-up and
after a fault event.
This function helps prevent transformers' saturation during start-up and short-circuit.
11
Adjustable current limit set point
The VIPer16 includes a current mode PWM controller: cycle by cycle the drain current is
sensed through the integrated resistor RSENSE and the voltage is applied to the non
inverting input of the PWM comparator, see Figure 2 on page 4. As soon as the sensed
voltage is equal to the voltage derived from the COMP pin, the power MOSFET is switched
OFF.
In parallel with the PWM operations, the comparator OCP, see Figure 2 on page 4, checks
the level of the drain current and switch OFF the power MOSFET in case the current is
higher than the threshold IDlim, see Table 8 on page 9.
The level of the drain current limit, IDlim, can be reduced depending from the sunk current
from the pin LIM. The resistor RLIM, between LIM and GND pins, fixes the current sunk and
than the level of the current limit, IDlim, see Figure 13 on page 12.
When the LIM pin is left open or if the RLIM has an high value (i.e. > 80 kΩ) the current limit
is fixed to its default value, IDlim, as reported on Table 8 on page 9.

FB pin and COMP pin
12
VIPER16
FB pin and COMP pin
The device can be used both in non-isolated and in isolated topology. In case of nonisolated topology, the feedback signal from the output voltage is applied directly to the FB
pin as inverting input of the internal error amplifier having the reference voltage, VREF_FB,
see the Table 8 on page 9.
The output of the error amplifier sources and sinks the current, ICOMP, respectively to and
from the compensation network connected on the COMP pin. This signal is then compared,
in the PWM comparator, with the signal coming from the SenseFET; the power MOSFET is
switched off when the two values are the same on cycle by cycle basis. See the Figure 2 on
page 4 and the Figure 22 on page 18.
When the power supply output voltage is equal to the error amplifier reference voltage,
VREF_FB, a single resistor has to be connected from the output to the FB pin. For higher
output voltages the external resistor divider is needed. If the voltage on FB pin is
accidentally left floating, an internal pull-up protects the controller.
The output of the error amplifier is externally accessible through the COMP pin and it’s used
for the loop compensation: usually an RC network.
As reported on Figure 22 on page 18, in case of isolated power supply, the internal error
amplifier has to be disabled (FB pin shorted to GND). In this case an internal resistor is
connected between an internal reference voltage and the COMP pin, see the Figure 22 on
page 18. The current loop has to be closed on the COMP pin through the opto-transistor in
parallel with the compensation network. The VCOMP dynamics ranges is between VCOMPL
and VCOMPH as reported on Figure 23 on page 19.
When the voltage VCOMP drops below the voltage threshold VCOMPL, the converter enters
burst mode, see Section 13 on page 19.
When the voltage VCOMP rises above the VCOMPH threshold, the peak drain current will
reach its limit, as well as the deliverable output power.

Burst mode
When the voltage VCOMP drops below the threshold, VCOMPL, the power MOSFET is kept in
OFF state and the consumption is reduced to IDD0 current, as reported on Table 7 on
page 8. As reaction at the energy delivery stop, the VCOMP voltage increases and as soon
as it exceeds the threshold VCOMPL + VCOMPL_HYS, the converter starts switching again with
consumption level equal to IDD1 current. This ON-OFF operation mode, referred to as “burst
mode” and reported on Figure 24 on page 19, reduces the average frequency, which can go
down even to a few hundreds hertz, thus minimizing all frequency-related losses and
making it easier to comply with energy saving regulations. During the burst mode, the drain
current limit is reduced to the value IDlim_bm (reported on Table 8 on page 9) in order to
avoid the audible noise issue.

Automatic auto restart after overload or short-circuit
The overload protection is implemented in automatic way using the integrated up-down
counter. Every cycle, it is incremented or decremented depending if the current logic detects
the limit condition or not. The limit condition is the peak drain current, IDlim , reported on
Table 8 on page 9 or the one set by the user through the RLIM resistor, as reported in
Figure 13 on page 12. After the reset of the counter, if the peak drain current is continuously
equal to the level IDlim, the counter will be incremented till the fixed time, tOVL, after that will
be disabled the power MOSFET switch ON. It will be activated again, through the soft start,
after the tRESTART time, see the Figure 25 and Figure 26 on page 20 and the mentioned
time values on Table 8 on page 9.
In case of overload or short-circuit event, the power MOSFET switching will be stopped after
a time that depends from the counter and that can be as maximum equal to tOVL. The
protection will occur in the same way until the overload condition is removed, see Figure 25
and Figure 26 on page 20. This protection ensures restart attempts of the converter with low
repetition rate, so that it works safely with extremely low power throughput and avoiding the
IC overheating in case of repeated overload events. If the overload is removed before the
protection tripping, the counter will be decremented cycle by cycle down to zero and the IC
will not be stopped.

VIPER16
Open loop failure protection
In case the power supply is built in fly-back topology and the VIPer16 is supplied by an
auxiliary winding, as shown in Figure 27 on page 21 and Figure 28 on page 22, the
converter is protected against feedback loop failure or accidental disconnections of the
winding.
The following description is applicable for the schematics of Figure 27 on page 21 and
Figure 28 on page 22, respectively the non-isolated fly-back and the isolated fly-back.
If RH is opened or RL is shorted, the VIPer16 works at its drain current limitation. The output
voltage, VOUT, will increase and so the auxiliary voltage, VAUX, which is coupled with the
output through the secondary-to-auxiliary turns ratio.
As the auxiliary voltage increases up to the internal VDD active clamp, VDDclamp (the value is
reported on Table 8 on page 9) and the clamp current injected on VDD pin exceeds the latch
threshold, IDDol (the value is reported on Table 8 on page 9), a fault signal is internally
generated.
In order to distinguish an actual malfunction from a bad auxiliary winding design, both the
above conditions (drain current equal to the drain current limitation and current higher than
IDDol through VDD clamp) have to be verified to reveal the fault.
If RL is opened or RH is shorted, the output voltage, VOUT, will be clamped to the reference
voltage VREF_FB (in case of non isolated fly-back) or to the external TL voltage reference (in
case of isolated fly-back).

Layout guidelines and design recommendations
Layout guidelines and design recommendations
A proper printed circuit board layout is essential for correct operation of any switch-mode
converter and this is true for the VIPer16 as well. Also some trick can be used to make the
design rugged versus external influences.
Careful component placing, correct traces routing, appropriate traces widths and
compliance with isolation distances are the major issues.
The main reasons to have a proper PCB routing are:
–
Provide a noise free path for the signal ground and for the internal references,
ensuring good immunity against external noises and switching noises
–
Minimize the pulsed loops (both primary and secondary) to reduce the
electromagnetic interferences, both radiated and conducted and passing more
easily the EMC regulations.
The below list can be used as guideline when designing a SMPS using VIPer16.
–
Signal ground routing should be routed separately from power ground and, in
general, from any pulsed high current loop;
–
Connect all the signal ground traces to the power ground, using a single "star
point", placed close to the IC GND pin;
–
With flyback topologies, when the auxiliary winding is used, it is suggested to
connect the VDD capacitor on the auxiliary return and then to the main GND using
a single track;
–
The compensation network should be connected as close as possible to the
COMP pin, maintaining the trace for the GND as short as possible;
–
A small bypass capacitor (a few hundreds pF up to 0.1 µF) to GND might be useful
to get a clean bias voltage for the signal part of the IC and protect the IC itself
during EFT/ESD tests. A low ESL ceramic capacitor should be used, placed as
close as possible to the VDD pin;
–
When using SO16 package it is recommended to connect the pin 4 to GND pin,
using a signal track, in order to improve the noise immunity. This is highly
recommended in case of high nosily environment;
–
An optional capacitor can be connected on the LIM pin in order to improve the IC
noise immunity. It is strongly recommended to don't exceed 470nF.
–
The IC thermal dissipation takes place through the drain pins. An adequate heat
sink copper area has to be designed under the drain pins to improve the thermal
dissipation;
–
It is not recommended to place large copper areas on the GND pins.
–
Minimize the area of the pulsed loops (primary, RCD and secondary loops), in
order to reduce its parasitic self- inductance and the radiated electromagnetic
field: this will greatly reduce the electromagnetic interferences produced by the
power supply during the switching.
