FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Operating Description
FT838MBD/FT838MDD is a cost effective and high-performance AC-DC power supply controller for
off-line low power AC-DC applications including battery chargers, adaptors and LED lighting. The
constant voltage (CV) and constant current (CC) control are achieved accurately without the secondary
feedback circuit.
Start up Control
Start-up current of FT838MBD/838MDD is very low so that a start-up resistor with high resistance and
low-wattage is allowed to supply the start-up power for the controller. The large value startup resistor
minimizes the power loss in operations and allows quick start up. With a special fast startup technology,
FT838MBD/FT838MDD starts up easily in capacitive loading applications.
Operating current
The operating current of FT838MBD/FT838MDD is as low as 500uA. Good efficiency is achieved with
the low operating current. Low operating current also reduces the Vcc hold-up capacitance
requirement.
Constant voltage (CV) and constant current (CC) Operation
The FT838MBD/FT838MDD can accurately achieve CV/CC characteristic output without secondary
side voltage and current-feedback circuits. It operates in CV mode to regulate the output voltage by
capturing the auxiliary winding feedback voltage at FB pin. The auxiliary winding feedback voltage is
proportional to secondary winding, so it provides controller the feedback signal from secondary side
and achieves constant-voltage output. In CC mode, the controller detects the secondary discharger
peak current and the discharger time, which determines the off-time of the base driver to make the
output average current constant.
Primary peak current modulation
Primary peak current is constant at constant current mode. And primary peak current is modulated at
constant voltage mode for the purposes of good dynamic load response and no audible noise over
entire operating range. According to the output loading current the current threshold voltage is
modulated from 0.55V to 0.27V. The current threshold voltage is 0.55V at rated load and 0.27V at light
load.
Leading edge blanking
Each time the power MOS transistor is switched on, a turn-on spike occurs at the sense resistor. To
avoid premature termination of the switching pulse, a 400ns leading edge blanking time is built in.
Conventional RC filtering can therefore be omitted. During this blanking period, the current limit
comparator is disabling and cannot switch off the base driver.
Under voltage lockout (UVLO)
FT838MBD/FT838MDD turn-on Vcc_on and turn-off Vcc_off are 16.2 V and 5.5 V, respectively. During
start-up, the hold-up capacitor must be charged to 16.2V through the start-up resistor. The hold-up

Preliminary FT838MBD/838MDD
capacitor continues to supply Vcc until power can be delivered from the auxiliary winding of the
transformer. Vcc must not drop below 5.5 V during this start-up process. This UVLO hysteresis window
ensures that hold-up capacitor is sufficient to supply Vcc during start-up.
Protection control
With rich protection features of FT838MBD/FT838MDD, excellent power supply system reliability can
be achieved. The protection features include cycle by cycle current limiting, Vcc over voltage protection
and clamp, over temperature protection, feedback loop open circuit protection and Vcc under voltage
lockout, etc.
Integrated MOS
Power MOS is integrated in FT838MBD/FT838MDD for low cost and/or space limited applications,
respectively.
Output cable compensation
The output cable compensation provides a constant output voltage at the end of the cable over the
entire load range in constant voltage mode. As the converter load increases from no-load to the peak
current load, the voltage drop introduced across the output cable is compensated by increasing the
feedback pin reference voltage.
