MITSUBISHI M51996P ,FP SWITCHING REGULATOR CONTROL DESCRIPTION M51996 is the primary switching regulator controller which is especially designed to get the regulated DC voltage from AC power supply. This IC can directly drive the MOS-FET with fast rise and fast fall output pulse and with a large-drive totempole output. Type M51996 has the functions of not only high frequency OSC and fast output drive but also current limit with fast response and high sensibility so the true fast switching regulator can be realized. The M51996 is equivalent to the M51978 with externally re- settable OVP( over voltage protection) circuit.

The ON- duration of output pulse depends on the rising duration of the triangle waveform and dead-time is decided by the fall- ing duration. The rising duration is determined by the product of external resistor Ron and capacitor Cr and the falling duration is mainly determined by the product of resistor Rorr and capacitor Cr.

The on-duration of output waveform coincides with the rising duration of CF terminal waveform when the no output current flows from F/B terminal. When the F/B terminal has finite impedance and current flows out from F/B terminal, A point potential shown in Fig. 9 depends on this current. So the A point potential is close to GND level when the flow-out current becomes large. A point potential is compared to the CF terminal oscillator waveform and PWM comparator, and the latch circuit is set when the potential of oscillator waveform is higher than A point potential. The latch circuit is reset during the dead time of oscillator circuit (falling duration of oscillator circuit), So the B point potential or output waveform of latch circuit is the one shown in Fig. 10. The final output waveform or C point potential is got by combining the B point signal and dead-time signal logically.

Fig. 11 shows the timing reia- tion among them. if the current limitting circuit is set, no waveform is gener- ated at output terminal, however this state is reset during the succeeding dead-time. So this current limitting circuit is able to have the function in every cycle, and is named pulse-by-pulse current limit. There happen some noise voltage on Ro. during the switching of power transistor due to the snubber circuit and stray capacitor of the transformer windings.

It is recommended to use 10~ 1002 for Rue because such range of Ryr is not influenced by the flow-out current of some 200uA from CLM4+ terminal and Cyr is designed to have the enough value to absorb the noise voltage. Roum M51996 Fig.12 Connection diagram of current timit circuit Voltage detector circuit (DET) section The DET terminal can be used to control the output voltage which is determined by the winding ratio of fly back trans- former in fly-back system or in case of common ground cir- cuit of primary and secondary in feed forward system. The circuit diagram is quite similar to that of shunt regulator type 431 as shown in Fig. 13. As well known from Fig. 13 and Fig. 14, the output of OP AMP has the current-sink ability, when the DET terminal voltage is higher than 2.5V MITSUBISHI 5-44 ELECTRICMITSUBISHI M51996P FP SWITCHING REGULATOR CONTROL Fig.13 Voltage detector circuit section (DET) but it becomes high impedance state when lower than 2.5V. DET terminal and F/B terminat have inverting phase characteristics each other, so it is recommended to connect the resistor and capacitor in series between them for phase compensation. It is very important one can not connect by resistor directly as there is the voltage difference between them and the capacitor has the DC stopper function. Fig.14 Schematic diagram of voltage detector circuit section (DET) OVP circuit (over voltage protection circuit) section OVP circuit is basically positive feedback circuit con- structed by Q2, Q3 as shown in Fig. 15. Qe, Qs turn on and the circuit operation of IC stops, when the input signal is applied to OVP terminal.(threshold voi- tage=750mv) The current value of ty is about 150A when the OVP does not operates but it decreases to about 2~A when OVP Operates. It is necessary to input the sufficient larger current (800A ~8mA) than i, for triggering the OVP operation. The reason to decrease |, is that it is necessary that lec at the OVP reset supply voltage is small. It is necessary that OVP state holds by circuit current from R, in the application example, so this IC has the character- istic of small Icc at the OVP reset supply voltage (= stand- by current + 20uA) On the other hand, the circuit current is large in the higher supply voltage, so the supply voltage of this IC doesn't be- come so high by the voltage drop across R,. This characteristic is shown in Fig. 16. The OVP terminal input current in the voltage lower than the OVP threshold voltage is based on lz and the input cur- rent in the voltage higher than the OVP threshold voltage is the sum of the current flowing to the base of Q, and the current flowing from the collector of Q, to the base. For holding in the latch state, it is necessary that the OVP terminal voltage is kept in the voltage higher than Vge of Qs. So if the capacitor is connected between the OVP terminal and GND, even though Q turns on in a moment by the surge voltage, etc, this latch action does not hold if the OVP terminal voltage does not become higher than Vee of Q, by charging this capacitor. For resetting OVP state, it is necessary to make the OVP terminal voltage lower than the OVP L threshold voltage or make Voc lower than the OVP reset supply voitage. As the OVP reset voltage is settled on the rather high vol- tage of 9.0V, SMPS can be reset in rather short time from the switch-off of the AC power source if the smoothing capacitor is not so large value.

SUPPLY VOLTAGE (OVP OPERATION) Output section It is required that the output circuit have the high sink and source abilities for MOS-FET drive. It is well known that the totempoie circuit has high sink and source ability. Howev- er, it has the demerit of high through current. For example, the through current may reach such the high current level of 1A, if type M51996 has the conventional totempole circuit. For the high frequency application such as higher than 100kHz, this through current is very impor- tant factor and will cause not only the large Icc current and the inevitable heat-up of IC but also the noise voltage. This iC uses the improved totempole circuit, so without de- teriorating the characteristic of operating speed, its through current is approximately 100mA. APPLICATION NOTE OF TYPE M51996P,FP Design of start-up circuit and the power supply of IC (1)The start-up circuit when it is not necessary to set the start and stop input voltage Fig. 17 shows one of the example circuit diagram of the start-up circuit which is used when it is not necessary to set the start and stop voltage. It is recommended that the current more than 300A flows through R, in order to overcome the operation start-up cur- rent Ioc(staat) and Cycc is in the range of 10 to 47uF. The product of R; by Cycce causes the time delay of operation, so the response time will be long if the product is too much large.

The Vec voltage is recommended to be 12V to 17V as the normal and optimum gate voltage is 10 to 15V and the out- put voltage (Vou) of type M51996P, FP is about (Vco2V). It is not necessary that the induced voltage is settled high- er than the operation start-up voltage Voc(start), and the high gate drive voltage causes high gate dissipation, on the other hand, too low gate drive voltage does not make the MOS-FET fully on-state or the saturation state. (2)The start-up circuit when it is necessary to set the start and stop input voltage It is recommend to use the third winding of forward wind- ing or positive polarity as shown in Fig. 18, when the DC source voltages at both the IC operation start and stop must be settled at the specified values.

(3)Notice to the Vcc, Vcc line and GND tine To avoid the abnormal IC operation, it is recommended to design the Vcc is not vary abruptly and has few spike vol- tage, which is induced from the stray capacity between the winding of main transformer. To reduce the spike voltage, the Cycc, which is connected between Vcc and ground, must have the good high fre- quency characteristics. To design the conductor-pattern on PC board, following cautions must be considered as shown in Fig. 19. (a) To separate the emitter line of type M51996 from the the GND tine of the IC (b) To locate the Cycc as near as possible to type M51996 and connect directly () To separate the collector tine of type M51996 from the Voc line of the iC (d) To connect the ground terminals of peripheral parts of ICs to GND of type M51996 as short as possible couscron Voc M51996 Cvee iO OUTPUT EMITTER Roum GND Fig. 19 How to design the conductor-pattern of type M51996 on PC board (schematic example) (4)Power supply circuit for easy start-up When IC start to operate, the voltage of the Cycc begins to decrease till the Cycc becomes to be charged from the third winding of main-transformer as the Icc of the IC in- creases abruptly. In case shown in Fig. 17 and 18, some unstable start-up or fail to start-up may happen, as the charging interval of Cycc is very short duration; that is the charging does occur only the duration while the induced winding voltage is higher than the Cycc voltage, if the in- duced winding voltage is nearly equal to the operation- stop voltage of type M51996. it is recommended to use the 10 to 47uF for Cycci, and ab- out 5 times capacity bigger than Cyco: for Cyce2.

The OVP terminal is connected with the sink current source (150uA)in IC when OVP does not operate, for absorbing the leak current of the photo coupler in the application. So the resistance between the OVP terminal and GND for leak-cut is not necessary. If the resistance is connected, the supply current at the OVP reset supply voitage becomes large. As the result, the OVP reset supply voltage may become higher than the operation stop voltage. in that case, the OVP action is reset when the OVP is trig- gered at the supply voltage a little high than the operation stop voltage. So it should be avoided absolutely to connect the resist- ance between the OVP terminal and GND.

Under such the cir- cuit condition, it is recommended to discharge the Cycc forcedly and to make the Vcc low value; This makes the OVP-reset time fast. (3)OVP setting method using the induced third winding voltage on fly back system For the over voltage protection (OVP), the induced fly back type third winding voltage can be utilized, as the induced third winding voltage depends on the output voltage.

(4)Method to control for ON/OFF using the OVP terminal You can reset OVP to lower the OVP terminal voltage lower than Vryover- So you can control for ON/OFF using this nature. The application is shown in Fig. 24. The circuit turns off by SW OFF and turns on by SW ON in this application. Of course you can make use of the transistor or photo- transistor instead of SW.

Peripheral circuit diagram of CLM-+ terminal To design the Rye: and Ryrz, it is required to consider the influence of CLM + terminal source current (livcum +). which value is in the range of 90 to 270uA. In order to be not influenced from these resistor paralleled value of Rue: and Rares, (Rari//Rneo) is recommended to be less than 1000. The Reim should be the non-inductive resistor. (2)Over current limitting curve (a) In case of feed forward system Fig. 26 shows the primary and secondary current wave- forms under the current limitting operation. At the typical application of pulse by pulse primary current detecting circuit, the secondary current depends on the primary current. As the peak value of secondary current is limitted to specified value, the characteristics curve of out- put voltage versus output current become to the one as shown in Fig. 27. oO (b) Primary and secondary current Fig. 26 Primary and secondary current waveforms under the current limitting operation condition on feed forward system OUTPUT VALTAGE oot QUTPUT CURRENT Fig. 27 Over current limitting curve on feed forward system The demerit of the pulse by pulse current limitting system is that the output pulse width can not reduce to less than some value because of the delay time of low. pass filter connected to the CLM-+ termina! and propagation delay time Tppcim+ from CLM+ terminal to output terminal of type M51996. The typical Tpocim+ is 150ns. As the frequency becomes higher, the delay time must be shorter. And as the secondary output voltage becomes higher, the dynamic range of on-duty must be wider; it means that it is required to make the on-duration much more narrower. So this system has the demerit at the high- er oscillating frequency and higher output voltage applica- tions. To prevent that, the SOFT terminal is used to lower the fre- quency when the curve starts to become vertical. MITSUBISHI ELECTRICMITSUBISHI M51996P,FP SWITCHING REGULATOR CONTROL 1 |< REG 3k 500 ri F/B M51996 Fig. 28 Relationship between REG terminal and F/B terminal If the curve becomes vertical because of an excess cur- rent, the output voltage is lowered and no feedback current flows from feedback photo-coupler; the PWM comparator operates to enlarge the duty sufficiently, but the signal from the CLM+ section operates to make the pulse width nar- rower. Under the condition in which I, in Fig. 26 does not become 0, the output voitage is proportional to the product of the in- put voltage Vin (primary side voltage of the main transformer) and on duty. If the bias winding is positive, Vcc is approximately proportional to Vij and the smoothed output voltage of the IC is proportional to Vin. The exist- ence of feed back current of the photo-coupler is known by measuring the F/B terminal voltage which becomes less than 2Vg_ in the internal circuit of REG terminal and F/B terminal if the output current flows from the F/B terminal. Fig. 29 shows an application example. Q, is turned on when normal output voltage is controlled at a certain value. The SOFT terminal is clamped to a high- level voltage. If the output voltage decreases and the curve starts to drop, no feed back current flows, Q, is turned off and the SOFT terminal responds to the smoothed output voltage. It is recommended to use an R, and Rz of 10kN ~30kN. An R3 of 20~100k2 and C of 1000pF ~ 8200pF should be used. To change the knee point of frequency drop, use the circuit in Fig. 30. To have a normal SOFT start function in the circuit in Fig. 29, use the circuit in Fig. 31. It is recommended to use an Rg of 10k2.

S30 the operation of type M51996 will stop when the Voc becomes !ower than Operation-stop voltage of M51996 when the DC output voltage of SMPS decreases under specified value at over load condition. However, the M51996 will non-operate and operate inter- mittently, as the Vcc voltage rises in accordance with the decrease of Icc current. The fly back system has the constant output power charac- teristics as shown in Fig. 32 when the peak primary current and the operating frequency are constant. To avoid an increase of the output current, the frequency is lowered when the DC output voltage of SMPS starts to drop using the SOFT terminal. Vcc is divided and is input to the SOFT terminal as shown in Fig. 33, because the voltage in proportional to the output voltage is obtained from the bias winding. In this application example, the current flowing to Rs is added to the start-up current. So please use high re- sistance or 100kKQ ~200k2 for R3. The start-up current is not affected by R; if Rg is connected to Cyccg in the circuit shown in Fig. 20.

This characteristics has the merit not to damage the MOS- FET at the stop of operation when the Vcc voltage de- creases lower than the voltage of Vocistop), as the gate charge of MOS-FET, which shows the capacitive load char- acteristics to the output terminal, is drawn out rapidly. The output terminal has the draw-out ability above the Voc voltage of 2V, however, lower than the 2V, it loses the abil- ity and the output terminal potential may rise due to the leakage current. In this case, it is recommended to connect the resistor of 100kQ between gate and source of MOS-FET as shown in Fig. 34. (2)MOS-FET gate drive power dissipation Fig. 35 shows the relation between the applied gate vol- tage and the stored gate charge. In the region (1), the charge is mainly stored at Cgg as the depletion is spread and Cgp is small owing to the off-state of MOS-FET and the high drain votage. In the region @, the Cgp is multiplied by the mirror effect as the characteristics of MOS-FET transfers from off-state to on-state. In the region @, both the Cgp and Cgg affect to the charac- teristics as the MOS-FET is on-state and the drain voltage is low. The charging and discharging current caused by this gate charge makes the gate power dissipation. The relation be- tween gate drive current Ip and total gate charge Qggy is shown by following equation; Ip=Qesu * fosc Where fosc is switching frequency MITSUBISHI ELECTRICMITSUBISHI M51996P,FP SWITCHING REGULATOR CONTROL As the gate drive current may reach up to several tenths miiliampere at 500kHz operation, depending on the size of MOS-FET, the power dissipation caused by the gate cur- rent can not be neglected.

So it is one of the good idea to check the IC package temperature. The temperature difference between IC junc- tion and the surface of IC package is 15C or less, when the IC junction temperature is measured by temperature dependency of forward voltage of pn junction, and IC pack- age temperature is measured by thermo-viewer, and also the IC is mounted on the phenol-base PC board in normal atmosphere. So it is conciuded that the maximum case temperature (surface temperature of IC) rating is 120C with adequate margin. 554 MITSUBISH l ELECTRIC
