■ Description of each circuit

1. Oscillator (See block diagram)

The oscillator generates a triangular waveform by charging and
discharging a capacitor. CT pin voltage oscillates
between an upper limit of approx. 3.0V and a lower limit of
approx. 1.0V. The oscillation frequency is determined by a
external resistance and capacitance shown in figure 1, and

approximately given by the following equation:

The recommended oscillation range is between 5k and
600kHz.
The oscillator output is connected to a PWM comparator.

2. Feedback pin circuit

Figure 2 gives an example of connection in which an
optocoupler is used to couple the feedback signal to the FB pin.
It is designed to be strong against noise and will not create
parasitic oscillation so much, because the output impedance at
the FB pin is as low as 4k to 5k. If this circuit causes power
supply instability, the frequency gain can be decreased by
connecting R4 and C4 as shown in figure 2. R4 should be
between several tens of ohms to several kiloohms and C

4

should be between several thousand picofarads to one
microfarads.

3. PWM comparator

The PWM comparator has four inputs as shown in Figure 3.
Oscillator output ① is compared with CS pin voltage ➁, FB pin
voltage ➂, and DT voltage ④. The lowest of three inputs ➁, ➂,
and ④ is compared with output ①. If it is lower than the
oscillator output, the PWM comparator output is high, and if it is
higher than the oscillator output, the PWM comparator
output is low (see Fig. 4).
The IC output voltage is high during when the comparator
output is low, and the IC output voltage is low during when the
comparator output is high.
When the IC is powered up, CS pin voltage ➁ controls soft start
operation. The output pulse then begins to widen gradually.
During normal operation, the output pulse width is determined
within the maximum duty cycle set by DT voltage ④ under the
condition set by feedback signal ➂, to stabilize the output
voltage.

4. CS pin circuit

As shown in Figure 5 capacitor C

S is connected to the CS pin.

When power is turned on, the constant current source (10µA)
begins to charge capacitor C

S. Accordingly, the CS pin

voltage rises as shown in Figure 6. The CS pin is connected to
an input of the PWM comparator. The device is in soft-start
mode while the CS pin voltage is between 0.9V and 1.9V
(FA5310/14/16) and between 0.9V and 2.3V(FA5311/15/17).
During normal operation, the CS pin is clamped at 3.6V by
internal zener diode Zn. If the output voltage drops due to an
overload, etc., the clamp voltage shifts from 3.6V to 8.0V. As a
result, the CS pin voltage rises to 8.0V. The CS pin is also
connected to latch comparator C2. If the pin voltage rises
above 7.0V, the output of comparator C2 goes high to turn off
the bias circuit, thereby shutting the output down. Comparator
C2 can be used not only for shutdown in response to an
overload, but also for shutdown in response to an overvoltage.
Comparator C1 is also connected to the CS pin, and the bias
circuit is turned off and the output is shut down if the CS pin
voltage drops below 0.42V. In this way, comparator C1 can
also be used for output on/off control.
As explained above, the CS pin can be used for soft-start
operation, overload and overvoltage output shutdown and
output on/off control.
Further details on the four functions of the CS pin are given
below.

4.1 Soft start function

Figure 7 shows the soft start circuit. Figure 8 is the soft-start
operation timing chart. The CS pin is connected to capacitor
C

S. When power is turned on, a 10µA constant-current source

begins to charge the capacitor. As shown in the timing chart,
the CS pin voltage rises slowly in response to the charging
current. The CS pin is connected internally to the PWM
comparator. The comparator output pulse slowly widens as
shown in the timing chart.
The soft start period can be approximately evaluated by the
period ts from the time the IC is activated to the time the output
pulse width widens to 30%. Period ts is given by the following

equation:

tS(mS)=160CS(µF)...................................(2)

4.2 Overload shutdown

Figure 9 shows the overload shutdown circuit, and Figure 10 is
a timing chart which illustrates overload shutdown operation.
If the output voltage drops due to an overload or short-circuit,
the output voltage of the FB pin rises. If FB pin voltage
exceeds the reference voltage (2.8V) of comparator C3, the
output of comparator C3 switches low to turn transistor Q off.
In normal operation, transistor Q is on and the CS pin is
clamped at 3.6V by zener diode Zn. With Q off, the clamp is
released and the 10µA constant-current source begins to
charge capacitor CS again and the CS pin voltage rises. When
the CS pin voltage exceeds the reference voltage (7.0V) of
comparator C2, the output of comparator C2 switches high to
turn the bias circuit off. The IC then enters the latched mode
and shuts the output down. Shutdown current consumption is
400µA(VCC=9V). This current must be supplied through the
startup resistor. The IC then discharges the MOSFET gates.
Shutdown operation initiated by an overload can be reset by
lowering supply voltage V

CC below VCC OFF or forcing the CS

pin voltage below 7.0V.
The period t

OL from the time that the output is short-circuited to

the time that the bias circuit turns off is given by the following
equation:

t

OL(mS)=340Cs(µF)........................................... (3)

4.3 Overvoltage shutdown

Figure 11 shows the overvoltage shutdown circuit, and Figure
12 is a timing chart which illustrates overvoltage shutdown
operation.
The optocoupler PC1 is connected between the CS and V

CC

pins. If the output voltage rises too high, the PC1 turns on to
raise the voltage at the CS pin via resistor R

6. When the CS

pin voltage exceeds the reference voltage (7.0V) of
comparator C2, comparator C2 switches high to turn the bias
circuit off. The IC then enters the latched mode and shuts the
output down. The shutdown current consumption of the IC is
400µA(VCC=9V). This current must be applied via startup
resistor R

5.

The IC then discharges the MOSFET gates.
The shutdown operation initiated by an overvoltage condition
can be reset by lowering supply voltage V

CC below VCC OFF or

forcing the CS pin voltage below 7.0V.
During normal operation, the CS pin is clamped by a 3.6V
zener diode with a sink current of 65µA max. Therefore, a
current of 65µA or more must be supplied by the optocoupler

in order to raise the CS pin voltage above 7.0V.
