COST EFFECTIVE GREEN PWM CONTROLLER
Description
The AP3105NA/NV/NL/NR is a low startup current, current mode
PWM controller with green-mode power-saving operation. The PWM
switching frequency at normal operation is set with 65kHz typically
and the dithering of frequency will also improve the EMI feature.
When the load decreases, the frequency will reduce and when at a
very low load, the IC will enter the ‘burst mode’ to minimize switching
loss.
About 20kHz frequency switching is to avoid the audible noise as well
as reducing the standby loss. The skip mode point can be adjusted
through the external resistor connected to the current sense resistor.
The AP3105NA/NV/NL/NR features a lot of functions such as the
Leading-Edge Blanking (LEB) of the current sensing, internal slope
compensation and several protection functions including cycle-by-
cycle current limit (OCP), VCC Over Voltage Protection (VOVP), OTP
and OLP protection. The versatile latch function can be set by the
customer through few components.
This IC is available in SOT-23-6 package.

Operation Description
The AP3105NA/NV/NL/NR 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 AP3105NA/NV/NL/NR is optimized to realize
ultra low current (5
A 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 AP3105NA/NV/NL/NR to detect
the voltage on VCC pin. It ensures that AP3105NA/NV/NL/NR can
draw adequate energy from hold-up capacitor during power-on. The
turn-on threshold is 15.5V and the turn-off threshold is 8.6V.
Current Sense Comparator and PWM Latch
The AP3105NA/NV/NL/NR 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
R
S
. The inductor current under normal operating conditions is
controlled by the voltage at FB pin. The relation between peak
inductor current (I
PK
) and V
FB
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 on 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 greater than 4.2V and lasts for about 64ms, the IC will
enter the protection mode. For AP3105NA/NV/NR, the system will
enter hiccup mode to wait the V
CC
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 V
FB
value to the maximum
because the opto-coupler is cut off.
V
CC
Maintain Mode
During light load or step load, V
FB
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
AP3105NA/NV/NL/NR hold a so-called V
CC
maintain mode which
can supply energy to VCC.
When V
CC
decreases to a setting threshold, the V
CC
maintain
comparator will output some drive signal to make the system switch
and provide a proper energy to VCC pin. The V
CC
maintain function
will cooperate 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 V
CC
is
not easy to touch the shutdown threshold during the startup process
and step load. This will also simplify the system design. The
normal VCC voltage is suggested to be designed a little higher than
V
CC
maintain threshold thus can achieve the best balance between
the standby and step load performance.

Operation Description
(Cont.)
System Protection and Pin Fault Protection
The AP3105NA/NV/NL/NR 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 AP3105NA/NV/NL/NR also has pin fault
connection protection including floating and short connection. The
floating pin protection include 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.
Latch Protection Function
For some applications, the system requires the latch protection
function. The CTRL pin has two kinds of modes to trigger the latch
protection: high level trigger and low level trigger. The low threshold
is 0.5V and high threshold voltage is 2.5V. Some version will have
only one mode. 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 (latch mode). 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.
