will need to change in order to meet ON Semiconductor’s system requirements. Since the ON Semiconductor
product management systems do not have the ability to manage part nomenclature that utilizes an underscore
(_), the underscore (_) in the Fairchild part numbers will be changed to a dash (-). This document may contain
device numbers with an underscore (_). Please check the ON Semiconductor website to verify the updated

Description
The FAN7621B is a pulse frequency modulation
controller for high-efficiency half-bridge resonant
converters. Offering everything necessary to build a
reliable and robust resonant converter, the FAN7621B
simplifies designs and improves productivity, while
improving performance. The FAN7621B includes a high-
side gate-drive circuit, an accurate current controlled
oscillator, frequency limit circuit, soft-start, and built-in
protection functions. The high-side gate-drive circuit has
a common-mode noise cancellation capability, which
guarantees stable operation with excellent noise
immunity. Using the zero-voltage-switching (ZVS)
technique dramatically reduces the switching losses and
efficiency is significantly improved. The ZVS also
reduces the switching noise noticeably, which allows a
small-sized Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) filter.
The FAN7621B can be applied to various resonant
converter topologies; such as series resonant, parallel
resonant, and LLC resonant converters.

FAN7621B — PFM Controller for Half-Bridge Resonant Converters
Functional Description
1. Basic Operation: FAN7621B is designed to drive
high-side and low-side MOSFETs complementarily with
50% duty cycle. A fixed dead time of 350ns is introduced
between consecutive transitions, as shown in Figure 16.

Figure 16. MOSFETs Gate Drive Signal
2. Internal Oscillator: FAN7621B employs a current-
controlled oscillator, as shown in Figure 17. Internally,
the voltage of RT pin is regulated at 2V and the charging
/ discharging current for the oscillator capacitor, CT, is
obtained by copying the current flowing out of RT pin
(ICTC) using a current mirror. Therefore, the switching
frequency increases as ICTC increases.
Figure 17. Current Controlled Oscillator
3. Frequency Setting: Figure 18 shows the typical
voltage gain curve of a resonant converter, where the
gain is inversely proportional to the switching frequency
in the ZVS region. The output voltage can be regulated
by modulating the switching frequency. Figure 19 shows
the typical circuit configuration for RT pin, where the
opto-coupler transistor is connected to the RT pin to
modulate the switching frequency.

proportional to the switching frequency, the soft-start is
implemented by sweeping down the switching frequency
from an initial high frequency (fISS) until the output
voltage is established. The soft-start circuit is made by
connecting R-C series network on the RT pin, as shown
in Figure 19. FAN7621B also has an internal soft-start
for 3ms to reduce the current overshoot during the initial
cycles, which adds 40kHz to the initial frequency of the
external soft-start circuit, as shown in Figure 20. The

control pin voltage drops below 0.4V and resumes
switching when the control pin voltage rises above 0.6V.

Remote On / Off: When an auxiliary power supply is
used for standby, the main power stage using
FAN7621B can be shut down by pulling down the control
pin voltage, as shown in Figure 23. R1 and C1 are used
to ensure soft-start when switching resumes.
Figure 23. Remote On / Off Circuit
5. Protection Circuits: The FAN7621B has several self-
protective functions, such as Overload Protection (OLP),
Over-Current Protection (OCP), Abnormal Over-Current
Protection (AOCP), Over-Voltage Protection (OVP), and
Thermal Shutdown (TSD). OLP, OCP, and OVP are
auto-restart mode protections; while AOCP and TSD are
latch-mode protections, as shown in Figure 24.

FAN7621B • Rev. 1.0.1 11
FAN7621B — PFM Controller for Half-Bridge Resonant Converters
Auto-Restart Mode Protection: Once a fault condition
is detected, switching is terminated and the MOSFETs
remain off. When LVCC falls to the LVCC stop voltage of
10.0V, the protection is reset. FAN7621B resumes
normal operation when LVCC reaches the start voltage of
12.5V.
Latch-Mode Protection: Once this protection is
triggered, switching is terminated and the gate output
signals remain off. The latch is reset only when LVCC is
discharged below 5V.
Figure 24. Protection Blocks
Current Sensing Using Resistor: FAN7621B senses
drain current as a negative voltage, as shown in Figure
25 and Figure 26. Half-wave sensing allows low power
dissipation in the sensing resistor, while full-wave
sensing has less switching noise in the sensing signal.

Current Sensing Using Resonant Capacitor Voltage:
For high-power applications, current sensing using a
resistor may not be available due to the severe power
dissipation in the resistor. In that case, indirect current
sensing using the resonant capacitor voltage can be a
good alternative because the amplitude of the resonant
capacitor voltage (Vcrp-p) is proportional to the resonant

Figure 27. Current Sensing Using Resonant
Capacitor Voltage
5.1 Over-Current Protection (OCP): When the sensing
pin voltage drops below -0.6V, OCP is triggered and the
MOSFETs remain off. This protection has a shutdown
time delay of 1.5µs to prevent premature shutdown
during startup.
5.2 Abnormal Over-Current Protection: (AOCP): If the
secondary rectifier diodes are shorted, large current with
extremely high di/dt can flow through the MOSFET
before OCP or OLP is triggered. AOCP is triggered
without shutdown delay when the sensing pin voltage
drops below -0.9V. This protection is latch mode and
reset when LVCC is pulled down below 5V.
5.3 Overload Protection (OLP): Overload is defined as
the load current exceeding its normal level due to an
unexpected abnormal event. In this situation, the
protection circuit should trigger to protect the power
supply. However, even when the power supply is in the
normal condition, the overload situation can occur during
the load transition. To avoid premature triggering of
protection, the overload protection circuit should be
designed to trigger only after a specified time to
determine whether it is a transient situation or a true
overload situation. Figure 27 shows a typical overload
protection circuit. By sensing the resonant capacitor
voltage on the control pin, the overload protection can be
implemented. Using RC time constant, shutdown delay
can be also introduced. The voltage obtained on the
control pin is given as:

where VCrp-p is the amplitude of the resonant capacitor
voltage.
5.4 Over-Voltage Protection: (OVP): When the LVCC
reaches 23V, OVP is triggered. This protection is used
when auxiliary winding of the transformer to supply VCC
to the controller is utilized.
5.5 Thermal Shutdown (TSD): If the temperature of the
junction exceeds approximately 130°C, the thermal
shutdown triggers.

6. PCB Layout Guideline: Duty imbalance problems
may occur due to the radiated noise from main
transformer, the inequality of the secondary-side leakage
inductances of main transformer, and so on. Among
them, it is one of the dominant reasons that the control
components in the vicinity of RT pin are enclosed by the
primary current flow pattern on PCB layout. The direction
of the magnetic field on the components caused by the
primary current flow is changed when the high-and-low
side MOSFET turns on by turns. The magnetic fields with
opposite direction from each other induce a current
through, into, or out of the RT pin, which makes the turn-
on duration of each MOSFET different. It is strongly
recommended to separate the control components in the
vicinity of RT pin from the primary current flow pattern on
PCB layout. Figure 28 shows an example for the duty-
balanced case. The yellow and blue lines show the
primary current flows when the lower-side and higher-
side MOSFETs turns on, respectively. The primary
current does not enclose any component of controller.
In addition, it is helpful to reduce the duty imbalance to
make the loop configured between CON pin and opto-
coupler as small as possible, as shown in the red line in
Figure 28.
