OB2372
High Performance CCM/QR mode Primary-Side Controller
FEATURES
OB2372 is an excellent primary side regulation
controller with CC/CV operation for medium level
power AC/DC charger and adapter applications.
The device directly drives a power MOSFET and
operates in CCM/QR mode to provide high
efficiency along with several functions of built-in
protections. It removes the need for secondary
feedback circuitry to lower the total bill of material
cost. Proprietary Constant Voltage (CV) and
Constant Current (CC) control is integrated as
shown in the figure below.
In CV control, the controller changes the mode of
operation according to line voltage and load
condition. At full loading, the controller operates in
fixed frequency CCM in low line voltage and
operates quasi-resonant (QR) mode in high line
voltage. The primary side regulation power
supplies up to high power without the efficiency
limitation of DCM or audible noise.
In CC control, OB2372 samples the Vcs peak
current and the demagnetization pulse to
regulation the output constant current. The current
and output power setting can be adjusted
externally by the sense resistor Rs at CS pin.

Principle of Operation
With OB2372 proprietary CC/CV control, system
can be designed in CCM/DCM mode for flyback
system (Refer to the Typical Application Diagram
in page1).
In the flyback converter, the output voltage can be
sensed via the auxiliary winding. During MOSFET
turn-on time, the load current is supplied from the
output filter capacitor and the current in the
primary winding ramps up. When MOSFET turns
off, the energy stored in the primary winding is
transferred to the secondary side and the current
in the secondary winding is

OB2372 is an excellent integrated multi-mode (see
Figure 2) PWM controller optimized for off-line
middle power AC/DC applications. It operates in
continuous conduction mode (CCM) and
quasi-resonant mode (QR) to provide high
efficiency with primary side sensing and regulation
thus provide cost effective solution for energy
efficient power supplies.
At full loading, the IC operates in fixed frequency
(65KHz) CCM mode in the low line input voltage
and it operates in QR mode in high line input
voltage. In this way, high efficiency in the universal
input range at full loading can be achieved.
At normal load condition, it operates in QR mode.
To minimize switching loss, the maximum
switching frequency in QR mode is internally
limited to 90 KHz (typical). When the load goes low,
it operates in PFM mode with valley switching for
high power conversion efficiency. When the load is
very small, the IC switch frequency can be
reduced to 300Hz to minimize the standby power
loss. As a result, high conversion efficiency can be
achieved in the whole loading range.
CV mode Operation
OB2372 is designed to produce good CC/CV
control characteristic as shown in the Figure. 1.
In charger applications, a discharged battery
charging starts in the CC portion of the curve until
it is nearly full charged and smoothly switches to
operate in CV portion of the curve. The CC portion
provides output current limiting. In CV operation,
the output voltage is regulated through the primary
side control. In CC operation mode, OB2372 will
regulate the output current constant regardless of
the output voltage drop.

Startup Current and Start up Control
Startup current of OB2372 is designed to be very
low so that VDD could be charged up above UVLO
threshold level and device starts up quickly. A large
value startup resistor can therefore be used to
minimize the power loss yet achieve a reliable
startup in application.
Figure.3. Auxiliary winding voltage waveform
Via a resistor divider connected between the
auxiliary winding and FB (pin 1), the auxiliary
winding voltage is sampled at the middle of the
de-magnetization and it is hold until the next
sampling. The sampled voltage is compared with
reference voltage Vref (typical 2.5V) and the
difference is amplified. The error amplifier output
reflects the load condition and controls the
Operating Current
The Operating current of OB2372 is as low as
1.8mA (typical). Good efficiency and less than
100mW standby power is achieved with the low
operating current.

Current Sensing and Leading Edge Blanking
Cycle-by-Cycle current limiting is offered in
OB2372. The switch current is detected by a
sense resistor into the CS pin. An internal leading
edge blanking circuit chops off the sensed voltage
spike at initial power MOSFET on state so that the
external RC filtering on sense input is no longer
needed.

lt
Adjustable CC point and Output Power
In OB2372, the CC point and maximum output
power can be externally adjusted by external
current sense resistor Rs at CS pin as illustrated in
the typical application diagram. The larger Rs, the
smaller CC point is, and the smaller output power
becomes, and vice versa as shown in Figure.4.
Gate Driver
The GATE pin is connected to the gate of an
external power switch. An internal 11.5V (typical)
clamp is added for MOSFET gate protection at
high VDD voltage. When VDD voltage drops below
UVLO(ON), the GATE pin is internally pull low to
maintain the off state.

Over Temperature Protection with latch
shutdown
A NTC resistor in series with a regular resistor
should be connected between RT and GND for
temperature sensing and protection. NTC resistor
value becomes lower when the ambient
temperature rises. With the fixed internal 50uA
current source flowing through the resistors, the
voltage at RT pin becomes lower at high
temperature. The internal OTP circuit is triggered
and shuts down the MOSFET when the sensed
input voltage is lower than 1.05V. OTP is a latched
shutdown.

Programmable Cable Drop Compensation
In OB2372, cable drop compensation is
implemented to achieve good load regulation (see
Figure 5). An offset voltage is generated at FB pin
by an internal current flowing into the resister
divider. The current is proportional to the switching
off time, as a result, it is inversely proportional to
the output load current, and the drop due to the
cable loss can be compensated. As the load
current decreases from full-load to no-load, the
offset voltage at FB will increase. It can also be
programmed by adjusting the resistance of the
divider to compensate the drop for various cable
lines used.
The percentage of maximum compensation is

Protection Control
Good power supply system reliability is achieved
with its rich protection features including
Cycle-by-Cycle current limiting, Output over
voltage protection, VDD over voltage protection,
short circuit protection, Under Voltage Lockout on
VDD.
VDD is supplied by transformer auxiliary winding
output after startup. The output of OB2372 is shut
down when VDD drops below UVLO (ON) and the
power converter enters power on start-up
sequence thereafter.
