NCP1207ADR2G Integrated Circuit Chip PWM Current-Mode Controller for Free Running Quasi-Resonant Operation

NCP1207A

PWM Current−Mode Controller for Free Running Quasi−Resonant Operation

The NCP1207A combines a true current mode modulator and a demagnetization detector to ensure full borderline/critical Conduction Mode in any load/line conditions and minimum drain voltage switching (Quasi−Resonant operation). Due to its inherent skip cycle capability, the controller enters burst mode as soon as the power demand falls below a predetermined level. As this happens at low peak current, no audible noise can be heard. An internal 8.0 s timer prevents the free−run frequency to exceed 100 kHz (therefore below the 150 kHz CISPR−22 EMI starting limit), while the skip adjustment capability lets the user select the frequency at which the burst foldback takes place.

The Dynamic Self−Supply (DSS) drastically simplifies the transformer design in avoiding the use of an auxiliary winding to supply the NCP1207A. This feature is particularly useful in applications where the output voltage varies during operation (e.g. battery chargers). Due to its high−voltage technology, the IC is directly connected to the high−voltage DC rail. As a result, the short−circuit trip point is not dependent upon any VCC auxiliary level.

The transformer core reset detection is done through an auxiliary winding which, brought via a dedicated pin, also enables fast Overvoltage Protection (OVP). Once an OVP has been detected, the IC permanently latches off.

Finally, the continuous feedback signal monitoring implemented with an overcurrent fault protection circuitry (OCP) makes the final design rugged and reliable.

MAXIMUM RATINGS

Maximum ratings are those values beyond which device damage can occur. Maximum ratings applied to the device are individual stress limit values (not normal operating conditions) and are not valid simultaneously. If these limits are exceeded, device functional operation is not implied, damage may occur and reliability may be affected.
