MITSUBISHI (Dig./Ana. INTERFACE) M51996AP/FP SWITCHING REGULATOR CONTROL DESCRIPTION M51996A is the primary switching regulator controller which is especially designed to get the regulated DC voltage from AC power PIN CONFIGURATION (TOP VIEW) 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 M51996A 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 M51996A is equivalent to the M51978 with externally resettable OVP(over voltage protection)circuit.

In the following circuit diagram,MOS-FIT is used for output transistor,however bipolar transistor can be replaced with no problem. Type M51996AP and M51996AFP are especially designed for off-line primary PWM control IC of switching mode power supply to get DC voltage from AC power supply.

In this voltage range,only a few parts in this IC,which has the function to make the output voltage low level,is alive and Icc current is used to keep output low level.The large voltage difference between Vcc(START) and Vcc(STOP) makes start-up easy,because it takes rather long duration from Vcc(START) to Vcc(STOP). CF is discharged by the summed-up of ROFF current and one sixteenth (1/16) of RON current by the function of Q2,Q3 and Q4 when SW1,SW2 are switched to "discharge side". 5.8V Q4 T-ON 1/16 Q3 RON Icco ~ 11mA T-OFF ROFF Q1 CHARGING SW1 FROM VF SIGNAL Vz ~ 4.2V SWITCHED BY CHARGING AND DISCHARGING SIGNAL CF CF IccL ~ 100A SW2 Q2 DISCHARGING Vcc Vcc (STOP) (START) M51996A ~ 9.9V ~ 16.2V Fig.4 Schematic diagram of charging and discharging control circuit for OSC.capacitor CF SUPPLY VOLTAGE Vcc(V) Fig.3 Circuit current vs.supply voltage VOSCH ~ 4.4V Oscillator section The oscillation waveform is the triangle one.The ON-duration of output pulse depends on the rising duration of the triangle waveform and dead-time is decided by the falling duration. The rising duration is determined by the product of external resistor RON and capacitor CF and the falling duration is mainly determined by the product of resistor ROFF and capacitor CF. VOSCL ~ 2.0V (1)Oscillator operation when SOFT circuit does not operate VOH Fig.4 shows the equivalent charging and discharging circuit diagram of oscillator.

The frequency including the dead-time is not influenced by the temperature because of the built-in temperature compensating circuit. ( 10 / 22 ) MITSUBISHI (Dig./Ana. INTERFACE) M51996AP/FP SWITCHING REGULATOR CONTROL (2)Oscillator operation when the SOFT(soft start) circuit is operating. START FROM 0V VOSCH Output transistor is protected from rush current by CLM function at the start time of power on.SOFT terminal is used to improve the rising response of the output voltage of power supply(prevention of overshooting). The ON duration of output is kept constant,and the OFF duration is extended as the SOFT terminal voltage becomes lower by the soft start circuit of this IC. The maximum value of extension is set internally at approximately sixteen times of the maximum ON duartion. The features of this method are as follows: 1 It is ideal for primary control as IC driving current is supplied from the third widing of the main transformer at the start-up because constant ON duration is obtained from start-up. 2 It is possible to get a wide dynamic range for ON/OFF ratio by pulse-by-pulse current limit circuit. 3 The response characteristics at power-on is not affected by input voltage as the pulse-by-pulse limit current value is not affected by the input voltage. Fig.6 shows the circuit diagram of the soft start.If SOFT terminal voltage is low,T-OFF terminal voltage bocomes low and VT-OFF in equations (3) and (4) become low.

Fig.6 Circuit diagram of SOFT terminal section and TOFF terminal section VOSCH ~ 4.4V PWM comparator, PWM latch and current limit latch section VOSCL ~ 2.0V t VOH VOL t Fig.7 Oscillator waveform when the SOFT circuit is operating Fig.9 shows the scematic diagram of PWM comparator and PWM latch section. 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 with 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 oscillation (falling duration of oscillation current).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.(please refer to Fig.10) ( 11 / 22 ) MITSUBISHI (Dig./Ana.

It is recommended to use 10 to 100 for RNF because such range of RNF is not influenced by the flow-out current of some 200A from CLM+ terminal and CNF is designed to have the enough value to absorb the noise voltage.

If the current limiting circuit is set,no waveform is generated at output terminal, however this state is reset during the succeeding dead-time. So this current limiting circuit is able to have the function in every cycle,and is named "pulse-by-pulse current limit". There happen some noise voltage on RCLM during the switching of power transistor due to the snubber circuit and stray capacitor of the transformer windings. Fig.12 Connection diagram of current limit 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 transformer in fly-back system or in case of common ground circuit 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 ( 12 / 22 ) MITSUBISHI (Dig./Ana. INTERFACE) M51996AP/FP SWITCHING REGULATOR CONTROL 7.1V It is necessary to input the sufficient larger current(800A to 8mA)than I2 for triggering the OVP operation. The reason to decrease I2 is that it is necessary that Icc at the OVP rest supply voltage is small. It is necessary that OVP state holds by circuit current from R1 in the application example,so this IC has the characteristic of small Icc at the OVP reset supply voltage(~stand-by current + 20A) On the other hand,the circuit current is large in the higher supply voltage,so the supply voltage of this IC doesn't become so high by the voltage drop across R1. This characteristic is shown in Fig.16. The OVP terminal input current in the voltage lower than the OVP threshold voltage is based on I2 and the input current in the voltage higher than the OVP threshold voltage is the sum of the current flowing to the base of Q3 and the current flowing from the collector of Q2 to the base. For holding in the latch state,it is necessary that the OVP terminal voltage is kept in the voltage higher than VBE of Q3. So if the capacitor is connected between the OVP terminal and GND,even though Q2 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 VBE of Q3 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 Vcc lower than the OVP reset supply voltage. As the OVP reset voltage is settled on the rather high voltage 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. 500 3k 1S 6S F/B DET 5.4k 10.8k 10.8k 10S 1.2k Fig.13 Voltage detector circuit section(DET) but it becomes high impedance state when lower than 2.5V DET terminal and F/B terminal 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. 7.1V 3k 1S 500 Vcc 6S 7.8V F/B 100A 8k OP AMP I1 DET 12k + Q1 2.5V Q2 Fig.14 Schmatic diagram of voltage detector circuit section(DET) 400 Q3 OVP OVP circuit(over voltage protection circuit)section OVP circuit is basically positive feedback circuit constructed by Q2,Q3 as shown in Fig.15. Q2,Q3 turn on and the circuit operation of IC stops,when the input signal is applied to OVP terminal.(threshold voltage ~ 750mV) The current value of I2 is about 150A when the OVP does not operates but it decreases to about 2A when OVP operates. 2.5k GND I2 I1=0 when OVP operates Fig.15 Detail diagram of OVP circuit ( 13 / 22 ) MITSUBISHI (Dig./Ana.

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 "totempole circuit has high sink and source ability.However,it has the demerit of high through current. For example,the through current may reach such the high current level of 1A,if type M51996A has the "conventional" totempole circuit.For the high frequency application such as higher than 100kHz,this through current is very important 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 deteriorating the characteristic of operating speed,its through current is approximately 100mA. APPLICATION NOTE OF TYPE M51996AP/FP Design of start-up circuit and the power supply of IC Just after the start-up,the Icc current is supplied from Cvcc,however,under the steady state condition ,IC will be supplied from the third winding or bias winding of transformer,the winding ratio of the third winding must be designed so that the induced voltage may be higher than the operation-stop voltage Vcc(STOP). The Vcc voltage is recommended to be 12V to 17V as the normal and optimum gate voltage is 10 to 15V and the output voltage(VOH) of type M51996AP/FP is about(Vcc-2V). It is not necessary that the induced voltage is settled higher than the operation start-up voltage Vcc(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 onstate or the saturation state. (2)The start-up circuit when it is not necessary to set the start and stop input voltage It is recommend to use the third winding of "forward winding" 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. The input voltage(VIN(START)),at which the IC operation starts,is decided by R1 and R2 utilizing the low start-up RECTIFIED DC VOLTAGE FROM SMOOTHING CAPACITOR (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 R1 in order to overcome the operation start-up current Icc(START) and Cvcc is in the range of 10 to 47F.The product of R1 by Cvcc causes the time delay of operation,so the response time will be long if the product is too much large.

INTERFACE) M51996AP/FP SWITCHING REGULATOR CONTROL current characteristics of type M51996AP/FP. The input voltage(VIN(STOP)),at which the IC operation stops,is decided by the ratio of third winding of transformer. The VIN(START) and VIN(STOP) are given by following equations. VIN(START)~ R1 * ICCL + ( R1 + 1) * Vcc(START)...............(7) R2 NP + 1 VIN(STOP)~ (Vcc(STOP)-VF) * 2 V'IN RIP(P-P)............(8) NB where ICCL is the operation start-up current of IC Vcc(START) is the operation start-up voltage of IC Vcc(STOP) is the operation stop voltage of IC VF is the forward voltage of rectifier diode V'IN(P-P) is the peak to peak ripple voltage of Vcc terminal ~ NB NP V'IN RIP(P-P) It is required that the VIN(START) must be higher than VIN(STOP). When the third winding is the "fly back winding" or "reverse polarity",the VIN(START) can be fixed,however,VIN(STOP) can not be settled by this system,so the auxiliary circuit is required. (3)Notice to the Vcc,Vcc line and GND line To avoid the abnormal IC operation,it is recommended to design the Vcc is not vary abruptly and has few spike voltage,which is induced from the stray capacity between the winding of main transformer. To reduce the spike voltage,the Cvcc,which is connected between Vcc and ground,must have the good high frequency 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 M51996A from the GND line of the IC (b)The locate the CVCC as near as possible to type M51996A and connect directly (c)To separate the collector line of type M51996A from the Vcc line of the IC (d)To connect the ground terminals of peripheral parts of ICs to GND of type M51996A as short as possible MAIN TRANSFORMER THIRD WINDING Vcc COLLECTOR M51996A CVcc OUTPUT RCLM EMITTER GND Fig.19 How to design the conductor-pattern of type M51996A on PC board(schematic example) (4)Power supply circuit for easy start-up When IC start to operate,the voltage of the CVCC begins to decrease till the CVCC becomes to be charged from the third winding of main-transformer as the Icc of the IC increases abruptly.In case shown in Fig.17 and 18,some "unstable startup" or "fall to start-up" may happen, as the charging interval of CVCC is very short duration;that is the charging does occur only the duration while the induced winding voltage is higher than the CVCC voltage,if the induced winding voltage is nearly equal to the "operation-stop voltage" of type M51996A. It is recommended to use the 10 to 47F for CVCC1,and about 5 times capacity bigger than CVCC1 for CVCC2.

INTERFACE) M51996AP/FP SWITCHING REGULATOR CONTROL OVP circuit (1)To avoid the miss operation of OVP It is recommended to connect the capacitor between OVP terminal and GND for avoiding the miss operation by the spike noise. The OVP terminal is connected with the sink current source (~150A) 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 leakcut is not necessary. If the resistance is connected,the supply current at the OVP reset supply voltage 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 triggered at the supply voltage a little high than the operation stop voltage. So it should be avoided absolutely to connect the resistance between the OVP terminal and GND.

Under such the circuit condition,it is recommended to discharge the CVCC 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.Fig.23 shows one of the example circuit diagram. (4)Method to control for ON/OFF using the OVP terminal You can reset OVP to lower the OVP terminal voltage lower than VTHOVPL. 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.

In order to be not influenced from these resistor paralleled value of RNF1 and RNF2,(RNF1/RNF2)is recommended to be less than 100. The RCLM should be the non-inductive resistor. (2)Over current limiting curve (a)In case of feed forward system OUTPUT CURRENT Fig.26 shows the primary and secondary current wave-forms under the current limiting 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 limited to specified value,the characteristics curve of output voltage versus output current become to the one as shown in Fig.27. Fig.27 Over current limiting curve on feed forward system The demerit of the pulse by pulse current limiting 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+ terminal and propagation delay time TPDCLM from CLM+ terminal to output terminal of type M51996A.The typical TPDCLM+ is 100ns. 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 higher oscillating frequency and higher output voltage applications. To prevent that the SOFT terminal is used to lower the frequency when the curve starts to become vertical. ( 17 / 22 ) MITSUBISHI (Dig./Ana.

Under the condition in which I2 in Fig.26 does not become 0,the output voltage is proportional to the product of the input voltage VIN(primary side voltage of the main transformer) and on duty.If the bias winding is positive,Vcc is approximately proportional to VIN.The existance of feed back current of the photo-coupler is known by measuring the F/B terminal voltage which becomes less than 2VBE 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. Q1 is turned on when normal output voltage is controlled at a certain value.The SOFT terminal is clampedto a high-level voltage.If the output voltage decreases and the curve starts to drop,no feed back current flows,Q1 is turned off and the SOFT terminal responds to the smoothed output voltage. It is recommended to use an R1 and R2 of 10k~30k.An R3 of 20 to 100k and C of 1000pF to 8200pF should be used. To change the knee point of frequency drop,use the circuit in Fig.30.

However,the M51996A will non-operate and operate intermittently,as the Vcc voltage rises in accordance with the decrease of Icc current. The fly back system has the constant output power characteristics as shown in Fig.32 when the peak primary current and the operating frequency are constant. Toavoid anincrease 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 R3 added to the startup current.So please use high resistance or 100k to 200k for R3. The start-up current is not affected by R3 if R3 is connected to Cvcc2 in the circuit shown in Fig.20.

This characteristics has the merit not to damage the MOS-FIT at the stop of operation when the Vcc voltage decreases lower than the voltage of Vcc(STOP),as the gate charge of MOSFIT,which shows the capacitive load characteristics to the output terminal,is drawn out rapidly. The output terminal has the draw-out ability above the Vcc voltage of 2V,however,lower than the 2V,it loses the ability and the output terminal potential may rise due to the leakage current. In this case, it is recommended to connect the resistor of 100k between gate and source of MOS-FIT as shown in Fig.34.

In the region 1 ,the charge is mainly stored at CGS as the depletion is spread and CGD is small owing to the off-state of MOS-FIT and the high drain voltage. In the region 2 ,the CGD is multiplied by the "mirror effect" as the characteristics of MOS-FIT transfers from off-state to onstate. In the region 3 ,both the CGD and CGS affect to the characteristics as the MOS-FIT 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 between gate drive current ID and total gate charge QGSH is shown by following equation; ID=QGSH * fOSC .....................................(11) Where fOSC is switching frequency ( 19 / 22 ) MITSUBISHI (Dig./Ana. INTERFACE) M51996AP/FP SWITCHING REGULATOR CONTROL As the gate drive current may reach up to several tenths milliamperes at 500kHz operation,depending on the size of MOS-FIT,the power dissipation caused by the gate current can not be neglected.

INTERFACE) M51996AP/FP SWITCHING REGULATOR CONTROL Driver circuit for bipolar transistor F/B M51996A When the bipolar transistor is used instead of MOS-FIT,the base current of bipolar transistor must be sinked by the negative base voltage source for the switching-off duration,in order to make the switching speed of bipolar transistor fast one. In this case,over current can not be detected by detecting resistor in series to bipolar transistor,so it is recommended to use the CT(current transformer).

INTERFACE) M51996AP/FP SWITCHING REGULATOR CONTROL Attention for heat generation The maximum ambient temperature of type M51996A is +85C,however,the ambient temperature in vicinity of the IC is not uniform and varies place by place,as the amount of power dissipation is fearfully large and the power dissipation is generated locally in the switching regulator. So it is one of the good idea to check the IC package temperature. The temperature difference between IC junction and the surface of IC package is 15C or less,when the IC junction temperature is measured by temperature dependency of forward voltage of pin junction,and IC package temperature is measured by "thermoviewer",and also the IC is mounted on the "phenol-base" PC board in normal atmosphere. So it is concluded that the maximum case temperature(surface temperature of IC) rating is 120C with adequate margin. ( 22 / 22 )
