Please note: As part of the Fairchild Semiconductor integration, some of the Fairchild orderable part numbers
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
device numbers. The most current and up-to-date ordering information can be found at www.onsemi.com. Please

Description
The FAN7621 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 FAN7621 simplifies
designs and improves productivity, while improving
performance. The FAN7621 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 FAN7621 can be applied to various resonant
converter topologies; such as series resonant, parallel
resonant, and LLC resonant converters.

FAN7621 — PFM Controller for Half-Bridge Resonant Converters
Functional Description
1. Basic Operation
FAN7621 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.

time
Figure 16. MOSFETs Gate Drive Signal
2. Internal Oscillator
FAN7621 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.

FAN7621 — PFM Controller for Half-Bridge Resonant Converters
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. FAN7621 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

The FAN7621 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.
5.1 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 11.3V, the protection is reset. FAN7621

FAN7621 • Rev. 1.0.3 11
FAN7621 — PFM Controller for Half-Bridge Resonant Converters
resumes normal operation when LVCC reaches the start
voltage of 14.5V.
5.2 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.

5.3 Current Sensing Using Resistor: FAN7621
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.

5.4 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

5.5 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.
5.6 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.

5.7 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.
5.8 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.
5.9 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.
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.
