1.2 Pin Functionality

BV (extended Blanking time & input OVP)

The BV pin combines the functions of input OVP and extendable blanking time for over load protection. The input

OVP feature is to stop the switching pulse when the input line voltage is higher than the VOVP_ref after the resistor

divider (Refer to Figure 3). The extendable blanking time function is to extend the built-in 20 ms blanking time for

over load protection by adding an external capacitor to ground.

FBB (Feedback & Burst entry control)

The FBB pin combines the feedback function and the burst entry/exit control. The regulation information is

provided by the FBB pin to the internal Protection Unit and the internal PWM-Comparator to control the duty cycle.

The FBB-signal is the only control signal in case of light load at the Active Burst Mode. The burst entry/ exit control

provides an access to select the entry/exit burst mode level.

CS (Current Sense)

The Current Sense pin senses the voltage developed on the shunt resistor inserted in the source of the integrated

CoolMOS™. If CS reaches the internal threshold of the Current Limit Comparator, the Driver output is immediately

switched off. Furthermore the current information is provided for the PWM comparator to realize the Current Mode.

3.1 Introduction

ICE3AR1580VJZ input OVP and jitter 800V version is the modified version of the ICE3ARxx80JZ. It is particular

good for high voltage margin low power SMPS application such as white goods, auxiliary power supply for PC and

server. The major characteristics are that the IC is developed with 800V CoolMOS™ with start up cell, having

adjustable input OVP feature, running at 100kHz switching frequency and packed in DIP-7 package.

The familiar features are BiCMOS technology to reduce power consumption and increase the Vcc voltage range,

cycle by cycle current mode control, built-in 10ms soft start to reduce the stress of switching elements during start up,

built-in 20ms and extended blanking time for short period of peak power before entering protection, active burst mode

for lowest standby power and propagation delay compensation for close power limit between high line and low line,

frequency jittering for low EMI performance, the built-in auto-restart mode protections for open loop, over load, Vcc

OVP, Vcc under voltage, etc.

Besides, it also includes narrowing the feedback voltage swing from 0.5V to 0.3V during burst mode so that the

output voltage ripple can be reduced by 40%, reduction of the fast voltage fall time of the MOSFET by increasing

the soft turn-on time and addition of 50Ω turn-on resistor, faster start up time by optimizing the Vcc capacitor to

10uF and over temperature protection with 50°C hysteresis.

Furthermore, it includes adjustable input OVP to suppress the abnormal input stress to damage the device,

selectable entry and exit burst mode for smaller entry/exit power to burst mode or even no burst mode is possible and

the propagation delay compensation for burst mode so that the entry/exit burst mode power is close between high

line and low line.

In summary, the ICE3AR1580VJZ provides good voltage margin of MOSFET, lowest standby power, flexible

burst level, reduced output ripple during burst mode, robust for abnormal input stress with input OVP feature,

accurate power limit for both maximum power and burst power, low EMI with frequency jittering and soft gate

drive, built-in and flexible protections, etc. Therefore, ICE3AR1580VJZ is a complete solution for the low power

SMPS application typically for white goods.

The Undervoltage Lockout monitors the external supply voltage VVCC. When the SMPS is plugged to the main line the

internal Startup Cell is biased and starts to charge the external capacitor CVCC which is connected to the VCC pin. This

ICE3AR1580VJZ

Functional Description

Data Sheet 12 V2.0, 2014-01-20

VCC charge current is controlled to 0.9mA by the Startup Cell. When the VVCC exceeds the on-threshold VCCon=17V the

bias circuit are switched on. Then the Startup Cell is switched off by the Undervoltage Lockout and therefore no power

losses present due to the connection of the Startup Cell to the Drain voltage. To avoid uncontrolled ringing at switch-

on, a hysteresis start up voltage is implemented. The switch-off of the controller can only take place when VVCC falls

below 10.5V after normal operation was entered. The maximum current consumption before the controller is activated

is about 200µA.

When VVCC falls below the off-threshold VCCoff=10.5V, the bias circuit is switched off and the soft start counter is

reset. Thus it ensures that at every startup cycle the soft start starts at zero.

The internal bias circuit is switched off if Auto Restart Mode is entered. The current consumption is then

reduced to 320µA.

Once the malfunction condition is removed, this block will then turn back on. The recovery from Auto Restart Mode

does not require re-cycling the AC line.

When Active Burst Mode is entered, the internal Bias is switched off most of the time but the Voltage Reference is

kept alive in order to reduce the current consumption below 620µA.

Functional Description

Data Sheet 13 V2.0, 2014-01-20

The primary current is sensed by the external series resistor RSense inserted in the source of the integrated

CoolMOS™. By means of Current Mode regulation, the secondary output voltage is insensitive to the line variations.

The current waveform slope will change with the line variation, which controls the duty cycle.

The external RSense allows an individual adjustment of the maximum source current of the integrated

CoolMOS™.

To improve the Current Mode during light load conditions the amplified current ramp of the PWM-OP is

superimposed on a voltage ramp, which is built by the switch T2, the voltage source V1 and a resistor R1 (see

Figure 7). Every time the oscillator shuts down for maximum duty cycle limitation the switch T2 is closed by VOSC.

When the oscillator triggers the Gate Driver, T2 is opened so that the voltage ramp can start.

In case of light load the amplified current ramp is too small to ensure a stable regulation. In that case the

Voltage Ramp is a well defined signal for the comparison with the FBB-signal. The duty cycle is then controlled

by the slope of the Voltage Ramp.

By means of the time delay circuit which is triggered by the inverted VOSC signal, the Gate Driver is switched-off until it

reaches approximately 156ns delay time (Figure 8). It allows the duty cycle to be reduced continuously till 0% by

decreasing VFBB below that threshold.

3.3.1 PWM-OP

The input of the PWM-OP is applied over the internal leading edge blanking to the external sense resistor RSense

connected to pin CS. RSense converts the source current into a sense voltage. The sense voltage is amplified with a

gain of 3.25 by PWM OP. The output of the PWM-OP is connected to the voltage source V1. The voltage ramp with

the superimposed amplified current signal is fed into the positive inputs of the PWM-Comparator C8 and the Soft-Start-

Comparator (Figure 9).

3.3.2 PWM-Comparator

The PWM-Comparator compares the sensed current signal of the integrated CoolMOS™ with the feedback

signal VFBB (Figure 9). VFBB is created by an external optocoupler or external transistor in combination with the

internal pull-up resistor RFB and provides the load information of the feedback circuitry. When the amplified

current signal of the integrated CoolMOS™ exceeds the signal VFBB the PWM-Comparator switches off the Gate

Driver.

In the Startup Phase, the IC provides a Soft Start period to control the primary current by means of a duty cycle

limitation. The Soft Start function is a built-in function and it is controlled by an internal counter.

Figure 11: Soft Start Phase

When the VVCC exceeds the on-threshold voltage, the IC starts the Soft Start mode (Figure 10).

The function is realized by an internal Soft Start resistor, a current sink and a counter. And the amplitude of the

current sink is controlled by the counter (Figure 12).

After the IC is switched on, the VSoftS voltage is controlled such that the voltage is increased step-wisely (32

steps) with the increase of the counts. The Soft Start counter would send a signal to the current sink control in

every 300µs such that the current sink decrease gradually and the duty ratio of the gate drive increases

gradually. The Soft Start will be finished in 10ms (tSoft-Start) after the IC is switched on. At the end of the Soft Start

period, the current sink is switched off.

Within the soft start period, the duty cycle is increasing from zero to maximum gradually (see Figure 13).

during Start-Up.

3.5.1 Oscillator

The oscillator generates a fixed frequency of 100kHz with frequency jittering of ±4% (which is ±4KHz) at a

jittering period of 4ms.

A capacitor, a current source and current sink which determine the frequency are integrated. The charging and

discharging current of the implemented oscillator capacitor are internally trimmed in order to achieve a very accurate

switching frequency. The ratio of controlled charge to discharge current is adjusted to reach a maximum duty cycle

limitation of Dmax=0.75.

Once the Soft Start period is over and when the IC goes into normal operating mode, the switching frequency of the

clock is varied by the control signal from the Soft Start block. Then the switching frequency is varied in range of

100kHz ± 4KHz at period of 4ms.

3.5.2 PWM-Latch FF1

The output of the oscillator block provides continuous pulse to the PWM-Latch which turns on/off the integrated

CoolMOS™. After the PWM-Latch is set, it is reset by the PWM comparator, the Soft Start comparator or the

Current -Limit comparator. When it is in reset mode, the output of the driver is shut down immediately.

The driver-stage is optimized to minimize EMI and to provide high circuit efficiency. This is done by reducing the

switch on slope when exceeding the integrated CoolMOS™ threshold. This is achieved by a slope control of the

rising edge at the driver’s output (Figure 17) and adding a 50Ω gate turn on resistor (Figure 15). Thus the leading

switch on spike is minimized.

Furthermore the driver circuit is designed to eliminate cross conduction of the output stage.

During power up, when VCC is below the undervoltage lockout threshold VVCCoff, the output of the Gate Driver is set

to low in order to disable power transfer to the secondary side.

Figure 18: Current Limiting Block

There is a cycle by cycle peak current limiting operation realized by the Current-Limit comparator C10. The source

current of the integrated CoolMOS™ is sensed via an external sense resistor RSense. By means of RSense the source

current is transformed to a sense voltage VSense which is fed into the pin CS. If the voltage VSense exceeds the internal

threshold voltage Vcsth, the comparator C10 immediately turns off the gate drive by resetting the PWM Latch FF1.

A Propagation Delay Compensation is added to support the immediate shut down of the integrated CoolMOS™

with very short propagation delay. Thus the influence of the AC input voltage on the maximum output power can

be reduced to minimal. This compensation applies to both the peak load and burst mode.

In order to prevent the current limit from distortions caused by leading edge spikes, a Leading Edge Blanking

(LEB) is integrated in the current sense path for the comparators C10, C12 and the PWM-OP.

The output of comparator C12 is activated by the Gate G10 if Active Burst Mode is entered. When it is activated,

the current limiting is reduced to Vcsth_burst. This voltage level determines the maximum power level in Active

Burst Mode.

Vcsth tLEB = 220ns/180ns

Figure 19: Leading Edge Blanking

Whenever the integrated CoolMOS™ is switched on, a leading edge spike is generated due to the primary-side

capacitances and reverse recovery time of the secondary-side rectifier. This spike can cause the gate drive to

switch off unintentionally. In order to avoid a premature termination of the switching pulse, this spike is blanked out

with a time constant of tLEB = 220ns for normal load and tLEB = 180ns for burst mode.

3.6.2 Propagation Delay Compensation (patented)

In case of overcurrent detection, there is always propagation delay to switch off the integrated CoolMOS™. An

overshoot of the peak current Ipeak is induced to the delay, which depends on the ratio of dI/ dt of the peak

current (Figure 20).

Figure 20: Current Limiting

The overshoot of Signal2 is larger than of Signal1 due to the steeper rising waveform. This change in the slope

is depending on the AC input voltage. Propagation Delay Compensation is integrated to reduce the overshoot

due to dI/dt of the rising primary current. Thus the propagation delay time between exceeding the current sense

threshold Vcsth and the switching off of the integrated CoolMOS™ is compensated over temperature within a wide

input range. Current Limiting is then very accurate.

For example, Ipeak = 0.5A with RSense = 2. The current sense threshold is set to a static voltage level Vcsth=1V without

Propagation Delay Compensation. A current ramp of dI/dt = 0.4A/µs, or dVSense/dt = 0.8V/µs, and a propagation

delay time of tPropagation Delay =180ns leads to an Ipeak overshoot of 14.4%. With the propagation delay compensation,

the overshoot is only around 2% (Figure 21).

The Propagation Delay Compensation is realized by means of a dynamic threshold voltage Vcsth (Figure 22). In

case of a steeper slope the switch off of the driver is earlier to compensate the delay.

Similarly, the same concept of propagation delay compensation is also implemented in burst mode with reduced

level, Vcsth_burst (Figure 18). With this implementation, the entry and exit burst mode power can be very close

between low line and high line input voltage.

3.7 Control Unit

The Control Unit contains the functions for Active Burst Mode and Auto Restart Mode. The Active Burst Mode and

the Auto Restart Mode both have 20ms internal blanking time. For the over load Auto Restart Mode, the 20ms

blanking time can be further extended by adding an external capacitor at BV pin. With the blanking time, the IC

avoids entering into those two modes accidentally. That buffer time is very useful for the application which works in

short duration of peak power occasionally.

Figure 23: Basic and Extendable Blanking Mode

There are 2 kinds of Blanking mode; basic mode and the extendable mode. The basic mode is a built-in 20ms

blanking time while the extendable mode can extend this blanking time by connecting an external capacitor to the

BV pin. For the extendable mode, the gate G5 remains blocked even though the 20ms blanking time is reached.

After reaching the 20ms blanking time the counter is activated and the switch S1 is turned on to charge the voltage

of BV pin by the constant current source, Ichg_EB. When the voltage of BV pin hits 4.5V, which is sensed by

CoolSET™ F3R80

ICE3AR1580VJZ

Functional Description

Data Sheet 21 V2.0, 2014-01-20

comparator C11, the counter will increase the counter by 1. Then it switches off the switch S1 and turns on the

switch S2. The voltage at BV pin will be discharged through a 500Ω resistor. When the voltage drops to 0.9V which

is sensed by comparator C3, the switch S2 will be turned off and the switch S1 will be turned on. Then the constant

current Ichg_EB will charge the CBK capacitor again. When the voltage at BV hits 4.5V which is sensed by comparator

C11, the counter will increase the count to 2. The process repeats until it reaches total count of 256 (Figure 24).

Then the counter will release a high output signal. When the AND gate G5 detects both high signals at the inputs, it

will activate the 30µs spike blanking circuit and finally the auto-restart mode will be activated.

Figure 24: Waveform at extended blanking time

For example, if CBK=0.1µF, Ichg_EB=720µA, ROV2=15KΩ,

Ichg_EB’=Ichg_EB-(4.5V+0.9V)/(2*ROV2)=540 µA

Extended blanking time = 256*(CBK*(4.5V-0.9V)/ Ichg_EB’+ CBK*500*ln(4.5/0.9)) = 192ms

Total blanking time = 20ms+192 = 212ms

where Ichg_EB’=net charging current to CBK

Note: The above calculation does not include the effect of the input OVP circuit where there is extra biasing

current flowing from the input. That means the extended blanking time will be shortened with the line voltage

change if input OVP circuit is implemented.

3.7.2 Active Burst Mode (patented)

To increase the efficiency of the system at light load, the most effective way is to operate at burst mode. Starting from

CoolSET™™ F3, the IC has been employing the active burst mode and it can achieve the lowest standby power.

ICE3AR1580VJZ adopts the same concept with some more innovative improvements to the feature. It includes the

adjustable entry burst level, close power control between high line and low line and the smaller output ripple during

burst mode.

Most of the burst mode design in the market will provide a fixed entry burst mode level which is a ratio to the

maximum power of the design. ICE3AR1580VJZ provides a more flexible level which can be selected externally. The

provision also includes not entering burst mode.

Propagation delay is the major contributor for the power control variation for DCM flyback converter. It is proved to

be effective in the maximum power control. ICE3AR1580VJZ also apply the same concept in the burst mode.

Therefore, the entry and exit burst mode power is also finely controlled during burst mode.

The feedback control swing during burst mode will affect the output ripple voltage directly. ICE3AR1580VJZ

reduces the swing from 0.5V to 0.3V. Therefore, it would have around 40% improvement for the output ripple.

3.7.2.1 Selectable burst entry level

The burst mode entry level can be selected by changing the different capacitor CFB at FBB pin. There are 4 levels to

be selected with different capacitor which are targeted for 10%, 6.67%, 4.38% and 0% of the maximum input power.

At the same time, the exit burst levels are targeted to 20%, 13.3%, 9.6% and 0% of the maximum power accordingly.

The corresponding capacitance range is from 6.8nF to 100pF. The below table is the recommended capacitance

range for the entry and exit level with the CFB capacitor.

The selection is at the 1st 1ms of the UVLO “ON” (Vcc > 17V) during the 1st start up but it does not detect in the

subsequent re-start due to auto-restart protection. In case there is protection triggered such as input OVP before

starts up, the detection will be held until the protection is removed. When the Vcc reaches the UVLO “ON” in the 1st

start up, the capacitor CFB at FBB pin is charged by a 5V voltage source through the RFB resistor. When the voltage

at FBB pin hits 4.5V, the FF4 will be set, the switch S9 is turned “ON” and the counter will increase by 1. Then the

CFB is discharged through a 500Ω resistor. After reaching 0.5V, the FF4 is reset and the switch S9 is turned “OFF”.

Then the CFB capacitor is charged by the 5V voltage source again until it reaches 4.5V. The process repeats until

the end of 1ms. Then the detection is ended. After that, the total number of count in the counter is compared and

the VFB-burst and the Vcs_burst are selected accordingly (Figure 26)

3.7.2.2 Entering Active Burst Mode

The FBB signal is kept monitoring by the comparator C5 (Figure 25). During normal operation, the internal

blanking time counter is reset to 0. When FBB signal falls below VFB_burst, it starts to count. When the counter reaches

20ms and FBB signal is still below VFB_burst, the system enters the Active Burst Mode. This time window prevents a sudden

entering into the Active Burst Mode due to large load jumps.

After entering Active Burst Mode, a burst flag is set and the internal bias is switched off in order to reduce the

current consumption of the IC to about 620µA.

It needs the application to enforce the VCC voltage above the Undervoltage Lockout level of 10.5V such that the

Startup Cell will not be switched on accidentally. Or otherwise the power loss will increase drastically. The

minimum VCC level during Active Burst Mode depends on the load condition and the application. The lowest

VCC level is reached at no load condition.

3.7.2.3 Working in Active Burst Mode

After entering the Active Burst Mode, the FBB voltage rises as VOUT starts to decrease, which is due to the

inactive PWM section. The comparator C6a monitors the FBB signal. If the voltage level is larger than 3.5V, the

internal circuit will be activated; the Internal Bias circuit resumes and starts to provide switching pulse. In Active

Burst Mode the gate G10 is released and the current limit is reduced to Vcsth_burst (Figure 3 and Figure 25). In one

hand, it can reduce the conduction loss and the other hand, it can reduce the audible noise. If the load at VOUT is

still kept unchanged, the FBB signal will drop to 3.2V. At this level the C6b deactivates the internal circuit again

by switching off the Internal Bias. The gate G11 is active again as the burst flag is set after entering Active Burst

Mode. In Active Burst Mode, the FBB voltage is changing like a saw tooth between 3.2V and 3.5V (Figure 27).

3.7.2.4 Leaving Active Burst Mode

The FBB voltage will increase immediately if there is a high load jump. This is observed by the comparator C13

(Figure 25). Since the current limit is reduced to 31%~45% of the maximum current during active burst mode, it

needs a certain load jump to raise the FBB signal to exceed 4.0V. At that time the comparator C5 resets the

Active Burst Mode control which in turn blocks the comparator C12 by the gate G10. The maximum current can

then be resumed to stabilize VOUT.

3.7.3 Protection Modes

The IC provides Auto Restart mode as the major protection feature. Auto Restart mode can prevent the SMPS from

destructive states. There are 3 kinds of auto restart mode; normal auto restart mode, odd skip auto restart mode

and non switch auto restart mode. Odd skip auto restart mode is that there is no detect of fault and no switching

pulse for the odd number restart cycle. At the even number of restart cycle the fault detect and soft start switching

pulses maintained. If the fault persists, it would continue the auto-restart mode. However, if the fault is removed,

it can release to normal operation only at the even number auto restart cycle (Figure 28).

Non switch auto restart mode is similar to odd skip auto restart mode except the start up switching pulses are also

suppressed at the even number of the restart cycle. The detection of fault still remains at the even number of the

restart cycle. When the fault is removed, the IC will resume to normal operation at the even number of the restart

cycle (Figure 29).

The main purpose of the odd skip auto restart is to extend the restart time such that the power loss during auto

restart protection can be reduced. This feature is particularly good for smaller Vcc capacitor where the restart time

is shorter.

There are 2 types of Vcc over voltage protection; Vcc OVP (1) and Vcc OVP (2). The Vcc OVP (1) takes action

only during the soft start period. The Vcc OVP (2) takes the action in any conditions.

Vcc OVP (1) condition is when VVCC voltage is > 20.5V, VFBB voltage is > 4.5V and during soft start period, the IC

enters into odd skip Auto Restart Mode. This condition likely happens during start up at open loop fault (Figure 30).

CoolSET™ F3R80

ICE3AR1580VJZ

Functional Description

Data Sheet 26 V2.0, 2014-01-20

Vcc OVP (2) condition is when VVCC voltage is > 25.5V, the IC enters into odd skip Auto Restart Mode (Figure

30).

The over temperature protection OTP is sensed inside the controller IC. The Thermal Shutdown block keeps on

monitoring the junction temperature of the controller. After detecting a junction temperature higher than 130°C, the

IC will enter into the non switch Auto Restart mode. The ICE3AR1580VJZ has also implemented with a 50°C

hysteresis. That means the IC can only be recovered when the controller junction temperature is dropped 50°C

lower than the over temperature trigger point (Figure 30).

The VCC undervoltage and short opto-coupler will go into the normal auto restart mode inherently.

In case of VCC undervoltage, the Vcc voltage drops indefinitely. When it drops below the Vcc under voltage lock out

“OFF” voltage (10.5V), the IC will turn off the IC and the startup cell will turn on again. Then the Vcc voltage will be

charged up to UVLO “ON” voltage (17V) and the IC turns on again provided the startup cell charge up current is not

drained by the fault. If the fault is not removed, the Vcc will continue to drop until it hits UVLO “OFF” voltage and the

restart cycle repeats.

Short Optocoupler can lead to Vcc undervoltage because once the opto-coupler (transistor side) is shorted, the

feedback voltage will drop to zero and there will be no switching pulse. Then the Vcc voltage will drop same as

the Vcc undervoltage.

Figure 31: Over load, open loop protection

In case of Overload or Open Loop, the FBB exceeds 4.5V which will be observed by comparator C4. Then the built-

in blanking time counter starts to count. When it reaches 20ms, the extended blanking time counter CT1 is

activated. The switch S2 is turned on and the voltage at the BV pin will be discharged through 500Ω resistor. When

it drops to 0.9V, the switch S2 is turned off and the Switch S1 is turned on. Then a constant current source Ichg_EB

will start to charge up BV pin. When the voltage hits 4.5V which is monitored by comparator C11, the switch S1 is

turned off and the count will increase by 1. Then the switch S2 will turn on again and the voltage will drop to 0.9V

and rise to 4.5V again. The count will then increase by 1 again. When the total count reaches 256, the counter

CT1 will stop and it will release a high output signal. When both the input signals at AND gate G5 is high, the

odd skip Auto Restart Mode is activated after the 30µs spike blanking time (Figure 31).

The total blanking time depends on the addition of the built-in and the extended blanking time. If there is no CBK

capacitor at BV pin, the count will finish within 0.1ms and the equivalent blanking time is just the built-in time of

20ms.

Since the BV pin is a multi-function pin, it would share with different functions. The resistor ROV2 from input OVP

feature application may however affect the extendable blanking time (Figure 31). Thus it should take the ROV2

into the calculation of the extendable blanking time. For example the extended blanking time may be changed

from 181ms to 212ms for 42.2KΩ to 15KΩ ROV2 resistor. The list below shows one particular CBK, ROV2 vs

blanking time.

Another factor to affect the extended blanking time is the input voltage through the ROV1 and ROV2. It would, on the

contrary, reduce the extended blanking time.

3.7.4 Input OVP Mode

When the AC input voltage is out of the designed operating range (e.g. > 300Vac), the voltage at the input bulk

capacitor will increase at the same time. If the MOSFET keeps on switching, the drain voltage may be too high and

the MOSFET will exceed the maximum voltage rating and causes damages. The input OVP mode is to prevent this

phenomenon. The IC will sense the input voltage through the input bulk capacitor to the BV pin by 2 potential divider

resistors, ROV1 and ROV2 (Figure 32). During normal operation, the BV pin voltage is lower than VOVP_ref (1.98V). The

output of C14a is low and the output of G21 is high. Together with UVLO high signal (IC operating) the “S” input of

FF5 is low. The “Q” output of FF5 is low and the input OVP mode remains not activated. When there is an input over

voltage case, the input bulk capacitor voltage is increased and the BV voltage is increased to larger than VOVP_ref. The

output of C14a is high and the output of G21 is low. If the OVP persists for 400µs (blanking time) and the UVLO

signal is still high, the output of G20 is high. Then the “S” input of FF5 is high and the “Q” output of FF5 is high. The

input OVP mode is set. The case of UVLO signal low is not considered as it means the IC is not working.

Functional Description

Data Sheet 28 V2.0, 2014-01-20

The IC implemented with hysteresis voltage to leave the input OVP protection. The hysteresis voltage at BV pin is

VOVP_hys (0.07V) and the input OVP reset voltage at BV pin is VOVP_ref - VOVP_hys; i.e. 1.91V. After the input OVP

protection is triggered, the voltage at BV pin needs to drop VOVP_hys from VOVP_ref before it can be reset.

When the BV voltage drops below 1.91V, the output of C14b and G22 are high (Figure 32). The “R” input of the

FF5 is high. Then the “Q” output of FF5 is low. The input OVP is reset. The system will turn on with soft start in the

coming restart cycle when Vcc reaches the Vcc “ON” voltage at 17V.

The input OVP feature can also be applied to customer defined protection circuit by pulling up the BV pin to

larger than VOVP_ref.

The formula to calculate the ROV1 and ROV2 are as below.

Set ROV1 to a particular value.

ROV2= ROV1* VOVP_ref /(VOVP - VOVP_ref)

The formula to calculate the input OVP reset voltage is as below.

VOVP_reset=(VOVP_ref -VOVP_hys)*( ROV1+ROV2)/ROV2

where VOVP: input over voltage; VOVP_reset: input over reset voltage; VOVP_ref: IC reference voltage for OVP; VOVP_hys: IC

hysteresis voltage for OVP; ROV1 and ROV2: resistors divider from input voltage to BV pin.

For example,

VOVP_ref=1.98V, VOVP_hys=0.07V

If input OVP voltage, VOVP=424Vdc (300Vac), ROV1=9MΩ, ROV2=42.2KΩ

Input OVP reset, VOVP_reset=408Vdc (289Vac)

To disable input OVP feature, the BV pin must be connected with a resistor ROV2≥15KΩ to IC ground and

remove ROV1.

(Remark: ROV2 must be always ≥15KΩ in all conditions, otherwise overload protection may not work)

3.7.5 Action sequence at BV pin

Since there are 2 functions at the same BV pin; input OVP and extended blanking time, the action of sequence is

whichever starts first takes the priority. When the “Extended blanking time” is triggered by OLP and follows with the

“Input OVP” triggering, then the OLP will continue to work until it ends. The IC would recheck the signal at BV pin

after one skip cycle. If the BV signal exceeds the input OVP threshold, it would go to input OVP mode.

Input Power Curve

Data Sheet 38 V2.0, 2014-01-20

7 Input Power Curve

Two input power curves giving the typical input power versus ambient temperature are showed below;

Vin=85Vac~265Vac (Figure 42) and Vin=230Vac+/-15% (Figure 43). The curves are derived based on a typical

discontinuous mode flyback model which considers either 50% maximum duty ratio or 100V maximum

secondary to primary reflected voltage (higher priority). The calculation is based on no copper area as heatsink

for the device. The input power already includes the power loss at input common mode choke, bridge rectifier

and the CoolMOS™. The device saturation current (ID_Puls @ Tj=125°C) is also considered.

To estimate the output power of the device, it is simply multiplying the input power at a particular operating ambient

temperature with the estimated efficiency for the application. For example, a wide range input voltage (Figure 42),

operating temperature is 50°C, estimated efficiency is 85%, then the estimated output power is 30W (36W * 85%).

10 Schematic for recommended PCB layout

Figure 46: Schematic for recommended PCB layout

General guideline for PCB layout design using F3 CoolSET™ (refer to Figure 46):

1. “Star Ground “at bulk capacitor ground, C11:

“Star Ground “means all primary DC grounds should be connected to the ground of bulk capacitor C11

separately in one point. It can reduce the switching noise going into the sensitive pins of the CoolSET™

device effectively. The primary DC grounds include the followings.

a. DC ground of the primary auxiliary winding in power transformer, TR1, and ground of C16 and Z11.

b. DC ground of the current sense resistor, R12

c. DC ground of the CoolSET™ device, GND pin of IC11; the signal grounds from C13, C14, C15 and collector

of IC12 should be connected to the GND pin of IC11 and then “star “connect to the bulk capacitor ground.

d. DC ground from bridge rectifier, BR1

e. DC ground from the bridging Y-capacitor, C4

2. High voltage traces clearance:

High voltage traces should keep enough spacing to the nearby traces. Otherwise, arcing would incur.

a. 400V traces (positive rail of bulk capacitor C11) to nearby trace: > 2.0mm

b. 600V traces (drain voltage of CoolSET™ IC11) to nearby trace: > 2.5mm

3. Filter capacitor close to the controller ground:

Filter capacitors, C13, C14 and C15 should be placed as close to the controller ground and the controller

pin as possible so as to reduce the switching noise coupled into the controller.

Schematic for recommended PCB layout

Data Sheet 42 V2.0, 2014-01-20

Guideline for PCB layout design when >3KV lightning surge test applied (refer to Figure 46):

1. Add spark gap

Spark gap is a pair of saw-tooth like copper plate facing each other which can discharge the accumulated

charge during surge test through the sharp point of the saw-tooth plate.

a. Spark Gap 3 and Spark Gap 4, input common mode choke,

L1: Gap separation is around 1.5mm (no safety concern)

b. Spark Gap 1 and Spark Gap 2, Live / Neutral to GROUND:

These 2 Spark Gaps can be used when the lightning surge requirement is>6KV.

230Vac input voltage application, the gap separation is around 5.5mm

115Vac input voltage application, the gap separation is around 3mm

2. Add Y-capacitor (C2 and C3) in the Live and Neutral to ground even though it is a 2-pin input

3. Add negative pulse clamping diode, D11 to the Current sense resistor, R12:

The negative pulse clamping diode can reduce the negative pulse going into the CS pin of the CoolSET™

and reduce the abnormal behavior of the CoolSET™. The diode can be a fast speed diode such as 1N4148.

The principle behind is to drain the high surge voltage from Live/Neutral to Ground without passing through

the sensitive components such as the primary controller, IC11.
