AP3783R PRIMARY SIDE REGULATED SWITCHING MODE POWER SUPPLY CONTROLLER Description Pin Assignments The AP3783R is a high frequency, high efficiency and high accuracy switching mode power supply controller to drive power MOSFET for 5V/2A battery charger/adapter applications. The controller regulates the output voltage and current in the primary side by piece-wise Pulse Frequency Modulation (p-PFM) in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM). The system operating frequency reduces linearly from heavy load to light load in each interval of the p-PFM, and enters constant current mode when the load current equals to the maximum system output current. (Top View) Pin 1 Mark The AP3783R provides accurate constant voltage (CV), constant current (CC) and outstanding dynamic performance without requiring an opto-coupler. It also eliminates the need of loop compensation circuitry while maintaining stability. CS 1 6 CPC GND 2 5 DRI VCC 3 4 FB SOT26 The AP3783R provides valley turn-on function and 3-Segment drive current to improve the power supply EMI performance. The AP3783R also has built-in fixed cable voltage drop compensation (8%, 4% and 2% of nominal system output voltage to meet various cables with different length and gauge) and adjustable line voltage compensation. The AP3783R achieves excellent regulation and high average efficiency, less than 2s startup time for 30mW standby power solution. When AP3783R is used with APR3415, good undershoot and efficiency performances can be achieved. The AP3783R is packaged in SOT26.

Typical Application Circuit of AP3783R Figure 1 is the typical application circuit of AP3783R, which is a conventional Flyback converter with a 3-winding transformer---primary winding (NP), secondary winding (NS) and auxiliary winding (NAUX). The auxiliary winding is used for providing VCC supply voltage for IC and sensing the output voltage feedback signal to FB pin. IPK IP IPKS tOFFS IS VAUX VA tSW VSEC VO tONP tONS tOFF Figure 2. The Operation Waveform of Flyback PSR System AP3783R Document number: DS37448 Rev. 6 - 2 8 of 17 www.diodes.com March 2016 (c) Diodes Incorporated AP3783R Operation Principle Description (Cont.) Figure 2 shows the typical waveforms which demonstrate the basic operating principle of AP3783R application. And the parameters are defined as following. IP---The primary side current IS ---The secondary side current IPK---Peak value of primary side current IPKS---Peak value of secondary side current VSEC---The transient voltage at secondary winding VO---The output voltage VAUX---The transient voltage at auxiliary winding VA--- The stable voltage at auxiliary winding when rectification diode is in conducting status, which equals the sum of voltage VCC and the forward voltage drop of auxiliary diode tSW ---The period of switching frequency tONP ---The conduction time when primary side switch is "ON" tONS ---The conduction time when secondary side diode is "ON" tOFF ---The dead time when neither primary side switch nor secondary side diode is "ON" tOFFS --- The time when secondary side diode is "OFF" For primary-side regulation, the primary current ip(t) is sensed by a current sense resistor RCS (as shown in Figure 1).The current rises up linearly at a rate of: dip (t ) VIN (t ) dt LM (1) As illustrated in Figure 2, when the current ip(t) rises up to IPK, the switch Q1 turns off. The constant peak current is given by: I PK VCS RCS (2) The energy stored in the magnetizing inductance LM each cycle is therefore: 1 2 Eg LM I PK 2 (3) So the power transferring from the input to the output is given by: 1 2 P LM I PK f SW 2 (4) Where, the fSW is the switching frequency. When the peak current IPK is constant, the output power depends on the switching frequency fSW. Constant Voltage Operation As to constant-voltage (CV) operation mode, the AP3783R detects the auxiliary winding voltage at FB pin to regulate the output voltage. The auxiliary winding voltage is coupled with secondary side winding voltage, so the auxiliary winding voltage at tONS is: V AUX N AUX Vo Vd NS (5) Where Vd is the conduction voltage drop of MOSFET in APR3415. AP3783R Document number: DS37448 Rev. 6 - 2 9 of 17 www.diodes.com March 2016 (c) Diodes Incorporated AP3783R Operation Principle Description (Cont.) See equation 5 0V tSAMPLE tONS Figure 3. Auxiliary Voltage Waveform The voltage detection point is at a constant delay time of tONS. The constant delay time is changed with the different primary peak current. The CV loop control function of AP3783R then generates a tOFF to regulate the output voltage. Constant Current Operation The AP3783R can work in constant-current (CC) mode. Figure 2 shows the secondary current waveforms. In CC operation mode, the CC control loop of AP3783R will keep a fixed proportion between tONS and tOFFS. The fixed proportion is tONS 4 tOFFS 4 (6) The relationship between the output constant-current and secondary peak current Ipks is given by: tONS 1 I O ( MAX ) I PKS 2 tONS tOFFS (7) As to tight coupled primary and secondary winding, the secondary peak current is I PKS NP I PK NS (8) Thus the output constant-current is given by: tONS 1 N 2 N I O ( MAX ) P I PK P I PK 2 NS tONS tOFFS 8 N S (9) Therefore, AP3783R can realize CC mode operation by constant primary peak current and fixed diode conduction duty cycle. Multiple Segment Constant Peak Current As to the original PFM PSR system, the switching frequency decreases with output current decreasing, which will encounter audible noise issue since switching frequency decreases to audio frequency range, about less than 20kHz. In order to avoid audible noise issue, AP3783R uses 2-segment constant primary peak current control method. At constant voltage mode, the current sense threshold voltage is of multiple segments with different loading, as shown in Figure 4, which are VCS_H for high load, VCS_L for light load and LL Mode. At constant current mode, the current sense threshold voltage is always VCS_H.

VCS_REF VCS_H High-load VCS_L Light-load fSW 75kHz 65kHz 24kHz 0.5kHz 5% 37% full load IO(MAX) Figure 4. Multiple Segment Peak Current at CV Mode It can be seen from Figure 4, with multiple segment peak current control, AP3783R power system can keep switching frequency above 24kHz at whole heavy load and most of light load to guarantee the audible noise free performance. Constant Voltage Operation in LL Mode and Dynamic Response In primary side regulation of AP3783R application, APR3415 must be used at secondary side as the output voltage regulator, low standby power and excellent dynamic response can be achieved. When the output voltage detected by APR3415 is lower than its trigger voltage, APR3415 outputs periodical signals which will be coupled to auxiliary side. When AP3783R detects the signal which is valid that the signal voltage is higher than VTRIGGER and tOFF is longer than tDELAY, AP3783R will begin an operating pulse, then primary switch immediately turns on to provide one energy pulse to output terminal and primary VCC. By fast response and cooperation, APR3415 and AP3783R can maintain a constant output voltage with very low operating frequency in LL mode and also can effectively improve dynamic performance for primary side regulation power system. The conditions of entering LL mode---VCPC<20mV and tOFF>256s. The condition of exiting LL mode---VCPC 40mV or tOFF<256s. The critical point of the LL mode is generally about 5% IO(MAX). 3-Segment Drive Current for Radiative EMI Suppression When the power switch is turned on, a turn-on spike will occur, that worsens the radiative EMI. It is an effective way to decrease drive current before gate voltage gets to miller platform. The AP3783R uses 3-segment drive current for radiative EMI suppression, as shown in Figure 5. When gate voltage gets to 6V, the AP3783R drive current switches from low current (43mA) to high current (110mA). When the gate voltage gets to 10V, the drive current will decrease gradually to 0mA until the gate voltage goes up to the clamp voltage (11V).

Drive Current and Gate Voltage Leading Edge Blanking (LEB) Time When the power switch is turned on, a turn-on spike will occur on the sense-resistor. To avoid false turn off switch, a leading-edge blanking is built in. During this blanking time, the current sense comparator is disabled and the external power switch cannot be turned off. Adjustable Line Compensation and Fixed Cable Compensation The AP3783R power system can adjust line compensation by changing the upper resistor at FB pin. The line compensation capability is increased by decreasing the resistance of the upper FB resistor. Cable compensation is fixed in AP3783R. Valley Turn-on When the off time (tOFF) is lower than 16ms, AP3783R power system can work with valley turn-on. It can reduce MOSFET switching on power losses which is resulted from the equivalent output capacitance. At the same time, because of valley turn-on the switching frequency has the random jitter feature, which will be benefit for conductive EMI performance. And valley turn-on can also reduce the power switch turn on spike current and then result in the better radiative EMI performance. Frequency Jitter Even though the valley turn-on function can lead the random frequency jitter feature, an active frequency jitter function is added to AP3783R to ensure the frequency jitter performance in the whole loading condition. By adjusting the VCS_REF with deviation of 5.0% every 256s cycle, the active frequency jitter can be realized. Short Circuit Protection (SCP) Short Circuit Protection (SCP) detection principle is similar to the normal output voltage feedback detection by sensing FB pin voltage. When the detected FB pin voltage is below VFB(SCP) for a duration of about 128ms, the SCP is triggered. Then the AP3783R enters hiccup mode that the IC immediately shuts down and then restarts, so that the VCC voltage changes between VTH_ST and UVLO threshold until VFB(SCP) condition is removed. As to the normal system startup, the time duration of FB pin voltage below VFB(SCP) should be less than tSCP to avoid entering SCP mode. But for the output short condition or the output voltage below a certain level, the SCP mode will be triggered. AP3783R Document number: DS37448 Rev. 6 - 2 12 of 17 www.diodes.com March 2016 (c) Diodes Incorporated AP3783R Operation Principle Description (Cont.) Figure 6 is the AP3783R normal start-up waveform that the voltage of FB pin is above VFB(SCP) during tSCP after VCC gets to the VTH_ST, which doesn't enter the SCP mode. As shown in Figure 7, VOUT is short and the voltage of FB pin is lower than VFB(SCP) during tSCP, the AP3783R triggers the SCP and enter the hiccup mode. tSCP VTH_ST VCC VFB(SCP) VFB 5V VOUT(SCP) VOUT Figure 6. Normal Start-up tSCP VTH_ST VCC VOPR(MIN) VFB(SCP) VFB VOUT 0V Figure 7. Short Circuit Protection (SCP) and Hiccup Mode OVP The AP3783R includes output over-voltage protection (OVP). If the voltage at FB pin exceeds VFB(OVP), the AP3783R immediately shuts down and keeps the internal circuitry enabled to discharge the VCC capacitor to the UVLO turn-off threshold. After that, the device returns to the start state and a start-up sequence ensues. OTP If the junction temperature reaches the threshold of +140C, AP3783R shuts down immediately. Before VCC voltage decreases to UVLO, if the junction temperature decreases to +100C, AP3783R can recover to normal operation. If not, the power system enters restart Hiccup mode until the junction temperature decreases below +100C.
