The controller includes: the oscillator with jittering feature, the start up circuits with soft-start feature, the PWM logic, the current limit circuit with adjustable set point, the second over-current circuit, the burst mode management circuit, the EPT circuit, the UVLO circuit, the auto-restart circuit and the thermal protection circuit. The current limit set-point is set by the CONT pin. The burst mode operation guaranties high performance in the stand-by mode and helps in the energy saving norm accomplishment. All the fault protections are built in Auto Restart Mode with very low repetition rate to prevent IC's overheating. 7.1 Power section and gate driver The Power section is implemented with an avalanche ruggedness N-channel MOSFET, which guarantees safe operation within the specified energy rating as well as high dv/dt capability. The Power section has a BVDSS of 800 V min. and a typical RDS(on) of 7 Ω at 25 °C. The integrated SenseFET structure allows a virtually loss-less current sensing. The gate driver is designed to supply a controlled gate current during both turn-on and turnoff in order to minimize common mode EMI. Under UVLO conditions an internal pull-down circuit holds the gate low in order to ensure that the Power section cannot be turned on accidentally. 7.2 High voltage startup generator The HV current generator is supplied through the DRAIN pin and it is enabled only if the input bulk capacitor voltage is higher than VDRAIN_START threshold, 80 VDC typically. When the HV current generator is ON, the IDDch current (3 mA typical value) is delivered to the capacitor on the VDD pin. In case of Auto Restart mode after a fault event, the IDDch current is reduced to 0.6 mA, typ. in order to have a slow duty cycle during the restart phase. See Figure 18 on page 16. 15/29 Operation descriptions VIPER28 7.3 Power-up and soft-start up If the input voltage rises up till the device start level (VDRAIN_START), the VDD voltage begins to grow due to the IDDch current (see Table 6 on page 7) coming from the internal high voltage start up circuit. If the VDD voltage reaches VDDon threshold (~14 V) the power MOSFET starts switching and the HV current generator is turned OFF. See Figure 19 on page 17. The IC is powered by the energy stored in the capacitor on the VDD Pin, CVDD, until the selfsupply circuit (typically an auxiliary winding of the transformer and a steering diode) develops a voltage high enough to sustain the operation. CVDD capacitor must be sized enough to avoid fast discharge and keep the needed voltage value higher than VDDoff threshold: a too low capacitance value could terminate the switching operation before the controller receives any energy from the auxiliary winding. The following formula can be used for the VDD capacitor calculation: Equation 1 I DDch × t SSaux C VDD = ---------------------------------------V DDon – V DDoff The tSSaux is the time needed for the steady state of the auxiliary voltage. This time is estimated by applicator according to the output stage configurations (transformer, output capacitances, etc.). During the converter start up time, the drain current limitation is progressively increased to the maximum value. In this way the stress on the secondary diode is considerably reduced. It also helps to prevent transformer saturation. The soft-start time lasts 8.5 ms and the feature is implemented for every attempt of start up converter or after a fault. See Figure 20 on page 17.

The VDD voltage drops and when it falls below the VDDoff threshold (8 V typical) the power MOSFET is switched OFF, the energy transfer to the IC is interrupted and consequently the VDD voltage continues to decreases, Figure 19 on page 17. Later, if the VIN is lower than VDRAIN_START (80 V typical), the start up sequence is inhibited and the power down completed. This feature is useful to prevent converter’s restart attempts and ensures monotonic output voltage decay during the system power down. 7.5 Auto restart operation If after a converter power down, the VIN is higher than VDRAIN_START, the start up sequence is not inhibited and will be activated only when the VDD voltage drops down the VDDrestart threshold (4.5 V typical). This means that the HV start up current generator restarts the VDD capacitor charging only when the VDD voltage drops below VDDrestart. The scenario above described is for instance a power down because of a fault condition. After a fault condition, the charging current is 0.6 mA (typ.) instead of the 3 mA (typ.) of a normal start up converter phase. This feature together with the low VDDrestart threshold (4.5 V) ensures that, after a fault, the restart attempts of the IC has a very long repetition rate and the converter works safely with extremely low power throughput. The Figure 21 shows the IC behavioral after a short circuit event. Figure 21.

In both case the switching frequency is modulated by approximately ±4 kHz (60 kHz version) or ±8 kHz (115 kHz version) at 250 Hz (typical) rate, so that the resulting spread-spectrum 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. 18/29 VIPER28 Operation descriptions 7.7 Current mode conversion with adjustable current limit set point The device is a current mode converter: the drain current is sensed and converted in voltage that is applied to the non inverting pin of the PWM comparator. This voltage is compared with the one on the feed-back pin through a voltage divider on cycle by cycle basis. The VIPER28 has a default current limit value, IDLIM, that the designer can adjust according the electrical specification, by the RLIM resistor connected to the CONT see Figure 12 on page 12. The CONT pin has a minimum current sunk needed to activate the IDLIM adjustment: without RLIM or with high RLIM (i.e. 100 kΩ) the current limit is fixed to the default value (see IDLIM, Table 8 on page 8). 7.8 Over-voltage protection (OVP) The device can monitor the converter output voltage. This operation is done by CONT pin during power MOSFET OFF-time, when the voltage generated by the auxiliary winding tracks converter's output voltage, through turn ratio NAUX See Figure 22. -------------N SEC In order to perform the output voltage monitor, the CONT pin has to be connected to the aux winding through a resistor divider made up by RLIM and ROVP (see Figure 17 (R3, R4 are respectively ROVP and RLIM)and Figure 23). If the voltage applied to the CONT pin exceeds the internal 3 V reference for four consecutive times the controller recognizes an over-voltage condition. This special feature uses an internal counter; that is to reduce sensitivity to noise and prevent the latch from being erroneously activated. see Figure 22 on page 20. The counter is reset every time the OVP signal is not triggered in one oscillator cycle. Referring to the Figure 17, the resistors divider ratio kOVP will be given by: Equation 2 V OVP k OVP = -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------N AUX -------------- ⋅ ( V OUTOVP + V DSEC ) – V DAUX N SEC Equation 3 R LIM k OVP = --------------------------------R LIM + R OVP 19/29 Operation descriptions Where: ● ● ● ● ● ● ● VIPER28 VOVP is the OVP threshold (see Table 8 on page 8) VOUT OVP is the converter output voltage value to activate the OVP set by designer NAUX is the auxiliary winding turns NSEC is the secondary winding turns VDSEC is the secondary diode forward voltage VDAUX is the Auxiliary diode forward voltage ROVP together RLIM make the Output Voltage divider Than, fixed RLIM, according to the desired IDLIM, the ROVP can be calculating by: Equation 4 1 – k OVP R OVP = R LIM × ---------------------k OVP The resistor values will be such that the current sourced and sunk by the CONT pin be within the rated capability of the internal clamp.

Figure 24 on page 23 and Figure 25 show the internal current mode structure. With the feedback pin voltage between VFB_bm and VFBlin, (respectively 0.6 V and 3.5 V, typical values) the drain current is sensed and converted in voltage that is applied to the non inverting pin of the PWM comparator. This voltage is compared with the one on the feedback pin through a voltage divider on cycle by cycle basis. When these two voltages are equal, the PWM logic orders the switch off of the power MOSFET. The drain current is always limited to IDLIM value. In case of overload the feedback pin increases in reaction to this event and when it goes higher than VFBlin the drain current is limited or to the default IDLIM value or the one imposed through a resistor at the CONT pin (using the RLIM, see Figure 6 on page 11); the PWM comparator is disabled. + To PWM Logic Daux Rov p CONT SOFT START OCP Current Limit Comparator Curr. Lim. BLOCK 21/29 Operation descriptions VIPER28 At the same time an internal current generator starts to charge the feedback capacitor (CFB) and when the feedback voltage reaches the VFBolp threshold, the converter is turned off and the start up phase is activated with reduced value of Icharge to 0.6 mA. During the first start up phase of the converter, after the soft-start up time (typical value is 8.5 ms) the output voltage could force the feedback pin voltage to rise up to the VFBolp threshold that switches off the converter itself. To avoid this event, the appropriate feedback network has to be selected according to the output load. More the network feedback fixes the compensation loop stability. The Figure 24 on page 23 and Figure 25 on page 23 show the two different feedback networks. The time from the overload detection (VFB = VFBlin) to the device shutdown (VFB = VFBolp) can be calculated by CFB value (see Figure 24 on page 23 and Figure 25), using the formula: Equation 5 V FBolp – V FBlin T OLP – delay = C FB × --------------------------------------3μA In the Figure 24, the capacitor connected to FB pin (CFB) is used as part of the circuit to compensate the feedback loop but also as element to delay the OLP shut down owing to the time needed to charge the capacitor (see Equation 5). After the start up time, 8.5 ms typ value, during which the feedback voltage is fixed at VFBlin, the output capacitor could not be at its nominal value and the controller interpreters this situation as an overload condition. In this case, the OLP delay helps to avoid an incorrect device shut down during the start up face. Owing to the above considerations, the OLP delay time must be long enough to by-pass the initial output voltage transient and check the overload condition only when the output voltage is in steady state. The output transient time depends from the value of the output capacitor and from the load. When the value of the CFB capacitor calculated for the loop stability is too low and cannot ensure enough OLP delay, an alternative compensation network can be used and it is showed in Figure 25 on page 23. Using this alternative compensation network, two poles (fPFB, fPFB1) and one zero (fZFB) are introduced by the capacitors CFB and CFB1 and the resistor RFB1. The capacitor CFB introduces a pole (fPFB) at higher frequency than fZB and fPFB1. This pole is usually used to compensate the high frequency zero due to the ESR (Equivalent Series Resistor) of the output capacitance of the fly-back converter. The mathematical expressions of these poles and zero frequency, considering the scheme in Figure 25 are reported by the equations below: Equation 6 fZFB = 1 2 ⋅ π ⋅ CFB1 ⋅ RFB1 22/29 VIPER28 Equation 7 Operation descriptions fPFB = RFB(DYN) + RFB1 2 ⋅ π ⋅ CFB ⋅ RFB(DYN) ⋅ RFB1 ( ) Equation 8 fPFB1 = 1 2 ⋅ π ⋅ CFB1 ⋅ RFB1 + RFB(DYN) ( ) The RFB(DYN) is the dynamic resistance seen by the FB pin and reported on Table 8 on page 8. The CFB1 capacitor fixes the OLP delay and usually CFB1 results much higher than CFB. The equation Equation 5 can be still used to calculate the OLP delay time but CFB1 has to be considered instead of CFB. Using the alternative compensation network, the designer can satisfy, in all case, the loop stability and the enough OLP delay time alike. Figure 24.

As the voltage reach the burst mode threshold VFBbm MOSFET stops switching. After the MOSFET stops, as a result of the feedback reaction to the energy delivery stop, the feedback pin voltage increases and exceeding VFBbm threshold of 100 mV, the burst mode hysteresis typical value MOSFET the power device start switching again. Figure 26 shows this behavior called burst mode. Systems alternates period of time where power MOSFET is switching to period of time where power MOSFET is not switching. The power delivered to output during switching periods exceeds the load power demands; the excess of power is balanced from not switching period where no power is processed. The advantage of burst mode operation is an average switching frequency much lower then the normal operation working frequency, up to some hundred of hertz, minimizing all frequency related losses. During the burst mode operation the drain current is limited to ID_BM, 160 mA typ. value Figure 26. Burst mode timing diagram, light load management FB 150 mV 00 hyster. VFBBM I DS t Normal -mode Burst-mode Burst-mode Normal -mode t 7.12 Extra power management function (EPT) Some applications need an extra power for a limited time window during which the converter regulation has to be guaranteed. The extra power management function allows to design a converter that can satisfy this request and is provided by the EPT pin, see Table 8 on page 9. This function requires the use of a capacitor on EPT pin (CEPT) that is charged or discharged by means of a 5 µA current cycle by cycle. When the drain current raises over 85% of Idlim value, see IDLIM_EPT (Table 8 on page 8), the current generator charges CEPT while when the drain current is below IDLIM_EPT discharges the capacitor. If CEPT ‘s voltage reaches the VEPT threshold (typical, 4 V), the converter is shut down. After the converter shut down, the VDD voltage will drop below the VDD(ON) start up threshold (typ. 14.5 V) and according to the auto restart operation (see section 7.5) the VDD pin voltage have to fall below the VDD(RESTART) threshold (typical, 4.5V) in order to charge again the VDD capacitor. Moreover the PWM operation is enabled again only when the voltage on EPT pin, drop below the VEPT(RESTART) (typical, 0.6V). The low CEPT discharge current in combination with its low restart threshold, ensures safe operations and avoids 24/29 VIPER28 Operation descriptions overheating in case of repeated overload events. The value of CEPT has to be selected in order to prevent the device overheating. The EPT pin can be connected to GND if the function is not used. 7.13 2nd level over-current protection and hiccup mode The VIPER28 is protected against short circuit of the secondary rectifier, short circuit on the secondary winding or a hard-saturation of fly-back transformer. Such as anomalous condition is invoked when the drain current exceed 1s A typical. To distinguish a real malfunction from a disturbance (e.g. induced during ESD tests) a “warning state” is entered after the first signal trip. If in the subsequent switching cycle the signal is not tripped, a temporary disturbance is assumed and the protection logic will be reset in its idle state; otherwise if the 2nd OCP threshold is exceeded for two consecutive switching cycles a real malfunction is assumed and the power MOSFET is turned OFF. The shutdown condition is latched as long as the device is supplied. While it is disabled, no energy is transferred from the auxiliary winding; hence the voltage on the VDD capacitor decays till the VDD under voltage threshold (VDDoff), which clears the latch. The start up HV current generator is still off, until VDD voltage goes below its restart voltage, VDD(RESTART). After this condition the VDD capacitor is charged again by 600 mA current, and the converter switching restart if the VDDon occurs. If the fault condition is not removed the device enters in auto-restart mode. This behavioral, results in a low-frequency intermittent operation (Hiccup-mode operation), with very low stress on the power circuit. See the timing diagram of Figure 27. Figure 27.
