GREEN MODE PWM CONTROLLER
Description
The AP3125HA/HB is a current mode PWM controller which is
optimized for high performance, low standby power and cost effective
offline flyback converters.
The PWM switching frequency at normal operation is internally fixed
(about 100kHz). In middle load, the IC will enter green mode to
improve system efficiency with the help of frequency foldback. A
minimum switching frequency (about 20kHz) is set to avoid the
audible noise. In no load or light load, the IC will enter the burst mode
to minimize standby power. Furthermore, the frequency dithering
function is built-in to reduce EMI emission.
Internal slope compensation allows more stable Peak-Current Mode
control over wide range of input voltage and load conditions. Internal
line compensation ensures constant output power limit over entire
universal line voltage range.
Comprehensive protection features are included, such as cycle-by-
cycle current limit (OCP), VCC Over Voltage Protection (VOVP),
internal OTP, Over Load Protection (OLP) and pins fault protection.
AP3125HA features external OTP/OVP by using a minimal number of
external components with CTRL pin. AP3125HB features built-in
Brownout (BNO) and Line Over Voltage Protection (LOVP).

Operation Description
The AP3125HA/HB is specifically designed for off-line AC-DC power supply used in LCD monitor, notebook adapter and battery charger
applications. It offers a cost effective solution with a versatile protection function.
Start-up Current and UVLO
The start-up current of AP3125HA/HB is optimized to realize ultra low current (1mA typical) so that VCC capacitor can be charged more quickly.
The direct benefit of low start-up current is the availability of using large start-up resistor, which minimizes the resistor power loss for high voltage
AC input.
An UVLO comparator is included in AP3125HA/HB to detect the voltage on VCC pin. It ensures that AP3125HA/HB can draw adequate energy
from hold-up capacitor during power-on. The turn-on threshold is 16V and the turn-off threshold is 7.6V.
Current Sense Comparator and PWM Latch
The AP3125HA/HB operates as a current mode controller, the output switch conduction is initiated by every oscillator cycle and is terminated
when the peak inductor current reaches the threshold level established by the FB pin. The inductor current signal is converted to a voltage signal
by inserting a reference sense resistor RS. The inductor current under normal operating conditions is controlled by the voltage at FB pin. The
relation between peak inductor current (IPK) and VFB is:
SFBPK RVI 3/)8.0(
Moreover, FOCP with 1.8V threshold is only about 100ns delay, which can avoid some catastrophic damages such as secondary rectifier short
test. Few drive cycles can alleviate the destruction range and get better protection.
Leading-edge Blanking
A narrow spike on the leading edge of the current waveform can usually be observed when the power MOSFET is turned on. A 250ns leading-
edge blank is built-in to prevent the false-triggering caused by the turn-on spike. During this period, the current limit comparator is disabled and
the gate driver can not be switched off.
At the time of turning off the MOSFET, a negative undershoot (maybe larger than -0.3V) can occur on the SENSE pin. So it is strongly
recommended to add a small RC filter or at least connect a resistor “R” on this pin to protect the IC (Shown as Figure 1).

Built-in Slope Compensation
It is well known that a continuous current mode SMPS may become unstable when the duty cycle exceeds 50%. The built-in slope compensation
can improve the stability, so there is no need for design engineer to spend much time on that.
FB Pin and Short Circuit Protection
This pin is normally connected to the opto-coupler and always paralleled with a capacitor for loop compensation. When the voltage at this pin is

Operation Description (Cont.)
greater than 4.5V and lasts for about 70ms, the IC will enter the protection mode. For AP3125HA/HB, the system will enter hiccup mode to wait
the VCC decreasing to low UVLO level, then the IC will try to restart until the failure removed. And when this voltage is less than 1.55V, the IC will
stop the drive pulse immediately. Therefore, this feature can be used for short circuit protection, which makes the system immune from damage.
Normally, output short makes the VFB value to the maximum because the opto-coupler is cut off.
VCC Maintain Mode
During light load or step load, VFB will drop and be lower than 1.55V, thus the PWM drive signal will be stopped, and there is no more new energy
transferred due to no switching. Therefore, the IC supply voltage may reduce to the shutdown threshold voltage and system may enter the
unexpected restart mode. To avoid this, the AP3125HA/HB hold a so-called VCC maintain mode which can supply energy to VCC.
When VCC decreases to a setting threshold, the VCC maintain comparator will output some drive signal to make the system switch and provide a
proper energy to VCC pin. The VCC maintain function will cooperate with the PWM and burst mode loop which can make the output voltage
variation be within the regulation. This mode is very useful for reducing startup resistor loss and achieving a better standby performance with a
low value VCC capacitor. The VCC is not easy to touch the shutdown threshold during the startup process and step load. This will also simplify
the system design. The minimum VCC voltage is suggested to be designed a little higher than VCC maintain threshold thus can achieve the best
balance between the standby and step load performance.
System Protection and Pin Fault Protection
The AP3125HA/HB provides versatile system and pin fault protections. The OCP comparator realizes the cycle-by-cycle current limiting (OCP). In
universal input line voltage, the IC realizes the constant over load protection (OLP). VCC over voltage protection can be applied as the primary
OVP or opto-coupler broken protection. The AP3125HA/HB also has pin fault connection protection including floating and short connection. The
floating pin protection includes the SENSE, FB, etc. The short pin protection includes the CTRL pin short protection. When these pins are floated
or CTRL pin is shorted to ground, PWM switching will be disabled, thus protecting the power system.
External OTP Protection Function
The CTRL pin of AP3125HA has two kinds of modes to trigger the latch protection: high level trigger (auto-recovery mode) and low level trigger
(latch mode). The low threshold is 1V and high threshold voltage is 3V. Once the latch protection is triggered, the IC will disable the output signal,
and the bulk capacitor provides the energy to IC through the startup resistor to ensure the IC disable the output. This mode will be not released
until the AC input is shut off. So, the de-latch time is mainly depending on the HV startup bulk capacitor value. Therefore, if the system wants a
short de-latch time, it is better for the startup resistor take power from the point before the rectifier bridge as illustrated in Figure 2.
Brownout Protection Function
To avoid potential high current stress at low line voltage, AP3125HB introduces reliable brownout protection. AC line voltage information is
sampled through a voltage divider net-work, adjusting the divider ratio to achieve expected brownout protection voltage. A typical 0.1nFcapacitor
is strongly recommended to parallel with BNO pin to bypass any accidental spike in AC line for preventing false trigger. When the voltage across
BNO pin is higher than 0.95V and VCC reaches UVLO/ON, the GATE pin will output drive signals. If the BNO voltage falls below 0.9V and lasts
for 50ms, the GATE pin will turn off and the system will enter hiccup mode until the line voltage rises over its brown-in voltage again.
Internal OTP Protection Function
The AP3125HA/HB integrates an internal temperature sensor. It has a trigger window of entering OTP mode at +15C and exiting at +125°C.
The internal OTP protection mode is auto-recovery mode.
