FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Under-Voltage Lockout(UVLO)
The turn-on and turn-off threshold voltages are fixed internally at 17.8V and 9.2V respectively for FT825. This
hysteresis behavior will guarantee a one shot start-up, as long as a proper start-up resistor and hold-up
capacitor are used.
Line Compensation
An offset current proportional to instantaneous mains voltage streams out CS pin. A compensation resistor
inverse proportional to the offset current is added between ZCD Pin and transformer auxiliary winding to
achieve extremely low THD and line compensation, the compensation resistor can be adjusted externally.
Zero current switching
The IC is switched on when the transformer is demagnetized after MOSFETs minimum off time about 3.5us
typically. Internal circuitry connected to the ZCD pin detects the end of the secondary stroke. After MOSFETs
minimum off time, if no demagnetization signal is detected on the ZCD pin, the controller generates a startup
signal 130us typically after the last GATE signal.
Leading Edge Blanking (LEB)
A turn on spike on CS pin will inevitably appear when the power MOSFET is switched on. At the beginning
of each switching pulse, the current-limit comparator is disabled for around 300nsec to avoid premature
termination. The gate driver output cannot be switched off during the blanking period. However, it is strongly
recommended to add a small RC filter for higher power application to avoid the CS pin from damage by the
negative turn-on spike.
Output Driver
With a low ON-resistance and a high current driving capability, the output driver can easily driver a big
MOSFET or IGBT. Cross conduction currents are avoided to minimize heat dissipation, allowing the
efficiency and reliability to be improved.
Over Voltage Protection (OVP)
Under steady-state condition, system output voltage is controlled by load connection, the voltage of ZCD pin
set by R1, R2 and auxiliary winding (see figure 4) does not exceeds 5.3V, When system output is open, the
voltage of output increases, due to the coupling polarity between auxiliary winding and secondary winding of a
transformer, ZCD voltage will increase also. Once the ZCD voltage exceeds 5.3V and last for about 1us to
guarantee the leakage inductance ringing has been fully damped, OVP of IC is triggered, the IC stops
switching, It can be reset by re-starting the voltage on pin VCC.
The OVP voltage can be adjusted by setting R1, R2 and auxiliary winding.

Power Factor Correction
The MULT pin is connected to the tap of the resistor divider from the rectified instantaneous line voltage and
fed as one input of the Multiplier. The output of the multiplier will be shaped as sinusoid too. This signal
provides the reference for the current comparator and comparing with the primary side inductor current which
sets the primary peak current shaped as sinusoid with the input line voltage, High power factor can be
achieved. The maximum voltage of the multiplier output to the current comparator is clamped to 2.4V to get a
cycle-by-cycle current limitation.
Minimum off time
The FT825 operates with variable switching frequency, the frequency is changing with the input
instantaneous line voltage. To limit the maximum frequency and get a good EMI performance, FT825
employs an internal minimum off time limiter3.5 s.
Output Short Circuit Protection
When the output short circuit happens, the positive plateau of auxiliary winding voltage is also near zero, the
VCC can not be held on and it will drop below VCC UVLO. The IC will shut down and restart again.
