NCP1379 Quasi-Resonant Current-Mode Controller for High-Power Universal Off-line Supplies The NCP1379 hosts a high-performance circuitry aimed to powering quasi-resonant converters. Capitalizing on a proprietary valley-lockout system, the controller shifts gears and reduces the switching frequency as the power loading becomes lighter. This results in a stable operation despite switching events always occurring in the drain-source valley. This system works down to the 4th valley and toggles to a variable frequency mode beyond, ensuring an excellent standby power performance. The controller includes an Over Power Protection circuit which clamps the delivered power at high-line. Safety-wise, a fixed internal timer relies on the feedback voltage to detect a fault. Once the timer elapses, the controller stops and enters auto-recovery mode, ensuring a low duty-cycle burst operation. To further improve the safety of the power supply, the NCP1379 features a pin to implement a combined brown-out/overvoltage protection. Particularly well suited for TVs power supply applications, the controller features a low startup voltage allowing the use of an auxiliary power supply to power the device.

IBO vs. Junction Temperature APPLICATION INFORMATION * Overpower protection (OPP): When the voltage on NCP1379 implements a standard current-mode architecture operating in quasi-resonant mode. Thanks to a proprietary circuitry, the controller prevents valley-jumping instability and steadily locks out in selected valley as the power demand goes down. Once the fourth valley is reached, the controller continues to reduce the frequency further down, offering excellent efficiency over a wide operating range. Due to a fault timer combined to an OPP circuitry, the controller is able to efficiently limit the output power at high-line. * Quasi-Resonance Current-mode operation: implementing quasi-resonance operation in peak current-mode control, the NCP1379 optimizes the efficiency by switching in the valley of the MOSFET drain-source voltage. Due to a proprietary circuitry, the controller locks-out in a selected valley and remains locked until the output loading significantly changes. This behavior is obtained by monitoring the feedback voltage. When the load becomes lighter, the feedback setpoint changes and the controller jumps into the next valley. It can go down to the 4th valley if necessary. Beyond this point, the controller reduces its switching frequency by freezing the peak current setpoint. During quasi-resonance operation, in case of very damped valleys, a 5.9 ms timer adds the missing valleys. * Frequency reduction in light-load conditions: when the 4th valley is left, the controller reduces the switching frequency which naturally improves the standby power by a reduction of all switching losses. * * * ZCD pin swings in flyback polarity, a direct image of the input voltage is applied on ZCD pin. We can thus reduce the peak current depending of the ZCD pin voltage level during the on-time. Internal soft-start: a soft-start precludes the main power switch from being stressed upon start-up. Its duration is fixed and equal to 3.8 ms. Fault input: the NCP1379 and D versions include a brown-out circuit which safely stops the controller in case the input voltage is too low. Restart occurs via a complete startup sequence (latch reset and soft-start). During normal operation, the voltage on this pin is clamped to 1.2 V to give enough room for OVP detection. If the voltage on this pin increases above 2.5 V, the part latches-off. Short-circuit protection: short-circuit and especially over-load protections are difficult to implement when a strong leakage inductance between auxiliary and power windings affects the transformer (where the auxiliary winding level does not properly collapse in presence of an output short). Here, when the internal 0.8 V maximum peak current limit is activated, the timer starts counting up. If the fault disappears, the timer counts down. If the timer reaches completion while the error flag is still present, the controller stops the pulses and goes into auto-recovery mode. http://onsemi.com 10 NCP1379 NCP1379 OPERATING MODES * During VCO mode, the peak current decreases down to NCP1379 has two operating mode: quasi-resonant operation and VCO operation for the frequency foldback. The operating mode is fixed by the FB voltage as portrayed by Figure 22: * Quasi-resonant operation occurs for FB voltage higher than 0.8 V (FB decreasing) or higher than 1.4 V (FB increasing) which correspond to high output power and medium output power. The peak current is variable and is set by the FB voltage divided by 4. * Frequency foldback or VCO mode occurs for FB voltage lower than 0.8 V (FB decreasing) or lower than 1.4 V (FB increasing). This corresponds to low output power. * 17.5% of its maximum value and is then frozen. The switching frequency is variable and decreases as the output load decreases. The switching frequency is set by the end of charge of the capacitor connected to the CT pin. This capacitor is charged with a constant current source and the capacitor voltage is compared to an internal threshold fixed by FB voltage. When this capacitor voltage reaches the threshold the capacitor is rapidly discharged down to 0 V and a new period start. Figure 22. Operating Valley According to FB Voltage VALLEY DETECTION AND SELECTION The valley detection is done by monitoring the voltage of the auxiliary winding of the transformer. A valley is detected when the voltage on pin 1 crosses down the 55 mV internal threshold. When a valley is detected, an internal counter is incremented. The operating valley (1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th) is determined by the FB voltage as shown by Figure 22. http://onsemi.com 11 NCP1379 VDD VDD Rpullup FB VFB Ct LOGIC BLOCK VFBth Vdd S ICt DRV Q + Ct setpoint Q - R Time Out CS comparator Ct Discharge ZCD + 10 V ESD DRV demag - Vth leakage blanking 3 us puls e Laux Figure 23. Valley Detection Circuit necessary output power. This allows achieving very low standby power consumption. The Figure 24 shows a simulation case where the output current of a 19 V / 60 W decreases from 2.8 A to 0.1 A. No instability is seen during the valley transitions (Figures 25, 26, 27 and 28) As the output load decreases (FB voltage decreases the valleys are incremented from the first to the fourth. When the fourth valley is reached, if FB voltage further decreases below 0.8 V, the controller enters VCO mode. During VCO operation, the peak current continues to decrease until it reaches 17.5% of the maximum peak current: the switching frequency expands to deliver the http://onsemi.com 12 NCP1379 Figure 24.

Zoom 4: 4th Valley to VCO Mode Transition Time Out introduced by the Over Power Compensation diode (Figure 35), the voltage on the ZCD pin is very low and the ZCD comparator might be unable to detect the valleys. In this condition, setting the DRV Latch with the 5.9 ms time-out leads to a continuous conduction mode operation (CCM) at the beginning of the soft-start. This CCM operation only last a few cycles until the voltage on ZCD pin becomes high enough to be detected by the ZCD comparator. To avoid this, the time-out duration is extended to 40 ms during the soft-start in order to ensure that the transformer is fully demagnetized before the MOSFET is turned-on. In case of extremely damped free oscillations, the ZCD comparator can be unable to detect the valleys. To avoid such situation, NCP1379 integrates a Time Out function that acts as a substitute clock for the decimal counter inside the logic bloc. The controller thus continues its normal operation. To avoid having a too big step in frequency, the time out duration is set to 5.9 ms. Figures 30 and 31 detail the time out operation. The NCP1379 also features an extended time out during the soft-start. Indeed, at startup, the output voltage reflected on the auxiliary winding is low.

Time Out Case n52: the 3rd and 4th Valley are Missing VCO MODE VCO operation occurs for FB voltage lower than 0.8 V (FB decreasing), or lower than 1.4 V (FB increasing). This corresponds to low output power. During VCO operation, the switching frequency is variable and expands as the output power decreases. The peak current is fixed to 17.5% of his maximum value when VFB < 0.56 V. The frequency is set by the end of charge of the capacitor connected to the CT pin. This capacitor is charged with a constant current source and its voltage is compared to an internal threshold (VFBth) fixed by FB voltage (see Figure 23). When this capacitor voltage reaches the threshold, the capacitor is rapidly discharged down to 0 V and a new period start. The internal threshold is inversely proportional to FB voltage. The relationship between VFB and VFBth is given by Equation 1. V FBth + 6.5 * (103)V FB (eq. 1) When VFB is lower than 0.3 V, VCT is clamped to VCT(MAX) which is typically 5.5 V.

Fault Detection Schematic When the timers reaches its completion, the circuit enter auto-recovery mode: the circuit stops all operations during 1.2 s typically and re-start. This ensures a low duty-cycle burst operation in fault mode (around 6.7%). In parallel to the cycle-by-cycle sensing of the CS pin, another comparator with a reduced LEB (tBCS) and a threshold of 1.2 V is able to sense winding short-circuit and immediately stop the controller. This additional protection is also auto-recovery. When the current in the MOSFET is higher than VILIM /Rsense, "Max Ip" comparator trips and the digital timer starts counting: the timer count is incremented each 10 ms. When the current comes back within safe limits, "Max Ip" comparator becomes silent and the timer count down: the timer count is decremented each 10 ms. In normal overload conditions the timer reaches its completion when it has counted up 8 times 10 ms. http://onsemi.com 18 NCP1379 Figure 34. Auto-Recovery Overload Protection Chronograms OVER POWER COMPENSATION the input voltage. As the auxiliary winding is already connected to ZCD pin for the valley detection, by selecting the right values for Ropu and Ropl, we can easily perform over power compensation. The over power compensation is achieved by monitoring the signal on ZCD pin (pin 1). Indeed, a negative voltage applied on this pin directly affects the internal voltage reference setting the maximum peak current (Figure 35).

Over Power Compensation Circuit To ensure optimal zero-crossing detection, a diode is needed to bypass Ropu during the off-time. If we apply the resistor divider law on pin 1 during the on-time, we obtain the following relationship: http://onsemi.com 19 NCP1379 R zcd ) R opu R opl +- N p,auxV IN * V OPP V OPP * Vaux = 18 V * Vd = 0.6 V * Np,aux = 0.18 (eq. 2) Where: Np,aux is the auxiliary to primary turn ration: Np,aux = Naux / Np VIN is the DC input voltage VOPP is the negative OPP voltage By selecting a value for Ropl, we can easily deduce Ropu using Equation 2. While selecting the value for Ropl, we must be careful not choosing a too low value for this resistor in order to have enough voltage for zero-crossing detection during the off-time. We recommend having at least 8 V on ZCD pin, the maximum voltage being 10 V. During the off-time, ZCD pin voltage can be expressed as follows: V ZCD + R opl R ZCD ) Ropl V auz * V d If we want at least 8 V on ZCD pin, we have: R ZCD R opl R opl + V aux * V d * V ZCD V ZCD V OPP + 0.375 + 18 * 0.6 * 8 + 1.2 8 (eq. 5) V ILIM + -300 mV (eq. 6) Using Equation 2, we have: R ZCD ) R opu R opl (eq. 3) +- + N p,auxV IN * V OPP V OPP -0.18 370 * (-0.3) (-0.3) (eq. 7) + 221 Thus, R opu + 221 Ropl * R ZCD + 221 (eq. 4) V ZCD V aux * V d * V ZCD We can choose: Rzcd = 1 kW and Ropl = 1 kW. For the over power compensation, we need to decrease the peak current by 37.5% at high line (370 Vdc). The corresponding OPP voltage is: We can thus deduce the relationship between Ropl and Rzcd: R ZCD + 1k * 1k + 220 kW (eq. 8) Design example: OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION / BROWN-OUT NCP1379 combine brown-out and overvoltage detection on the pin Fault.

Brown-out and Overvoltage Protection In order to protect the power supply against low input voltage condition, the pin 7 permanently monitors a fraction of the bulk voltage through a voltage divider. When this image of bulk voltage is below the VBO threshold, the controller stops switching. When the bulk voltage comes back within safe limits, the circuit restarts pulsing. The hysteresis for the brown-out function is implemented with a high side current source sinking 10 mA when the brown-out comparator is high (Vbulk > Vbulk(on)) In order to avoid having a too high voltage on pin 7 if the bulk voltage is high, an internal clamp limits the voltage. In case of over voltage, the zener diode will start to conduct and inject current inside the internal clamp resistor Rclamp thus causing pin 7 voltage to increase. When this voltage reaches VOVP, the controller latches-off and stays latched. The controller will be reset if VCC falls bellow VCC(reset) or if a brown-out occurs (Figure 37). http://onsemi.com 20 NCP1379 Figure 37. Operating Chronograms in Case of Overvoltage with NCP1379 Supplied by an Auxiliary Power Supply The following equations show how to calculate the brown-out resistors. First of all, select the bulk voltage value at which the controller must start switching (Vbulk(on)) and the bulk voltage for shutdown (Vbulk(off)).
