Description
The FAN6749 highly integrated PWM controller
enhances the performance of flyback converters. To
minimize standby power consumption, a proprietary
Green-Mode function continuously decreases the
switching frequency under light-load conditions. Under
zero-load conditions, the power supply enters Burst
Mode and completely shuts off PWM output. Green
Mode helps power supplies meet international power
conservation requirements.
The FAN6749 is designed for SMPS with surge-current
output and incorporates a two-level Over-Current
Protection (OCP) function. Besides the cycle-by-cycle
current limiting, two-level OCP can handle peak loading
within a specified delay time.
FAN6749 also integrates a frequency-hopping function
that helps reduce EMI emission of a power supply with
minimum line filters. Built-in synchronized slope
compensation helps achieve stable peak-current control.
To keep constant output power limit over universal AC
input range, the current limit and OCP threshold voltage
are adjusted according to AC line voltage detected by
the HV pin. Gate output is clamped at 14.5V to protect
the external MOSFET from over-voltage damage.
Other protection functions include: AC input brownout
protection with hysteresis, Short-Circuit Protection
(SCP) for output-short condition, and V
Protection (OVP). For over-temperature protection, an
external NTC thermistor can be applied to sense the
ambient temperature. When OLP, OCP, SCP, V
or OTP is activated, an internal latch circuit latches off
the controller. The latch resets when V

Ground Pin. A 0.1µF decoupling capacitor between VDD and GND is recommended.
Feedback Pin. The output voltage feedback information from the external compensation circuit is
fed into this pin. The PWM duty cycle is determined by comparing the FB signal with currentsense signal from the SENSE pin.
High-Voltage Startup. The HV pin is typically connected to the AC line input through an external
diode and a resistor (R
also to sense the line voltage. The line voltage information is used for brown-out protection and
power limit line compensation.
Over-Temperature Protection. An external NTC thermistor is connected from this pin to the
GND pin. Once the voltage of the RT pin drops below the threshold voltage, the controller latches
off the PWM. The RT pin also provides external latch protection. If the RT pin is not connected to
an NTC resistor for over-temperature protection, place a 100k resistor to ground to prevent
noise interference.
Current Sense. The sensed voltage is used for peak-current-mode control, over-current
protection, short-circuit protection, and cycle-by-cycle current limiting.
Power Supply of IC. A holdup capacitor typically connects from this pin to ground. A rectifier

Recommended Operating Conditions
The Recommended Operating Conditions table defines the conditions for actual device operation. Recommended
operating conditions are specified to ensure optimal performance to the datasheet specifications. Fairchild does not
recommend exceeding them or designing to Absolute Maximum Ratings.
FAN6749 employs peak current mode control, as shown
in Figure 24. An opto-coupler (such as the H11A817A)
and a shunt regulator (such as the KA431) are typically
used to implement the feedback network. Comparing the
feedback voltage with the voltage across the R
resistor makes it possible to control the switching duty
cycle. The built-in slope compensation stabilizes the
current loop and prevents sub-harmonic oscillation.
FAN6749 modulates the PWM frequency as a function
of the FB voltage to improve the medium- and light-load
efficiency, as shown in Figure 25. Since the output
power is proportional to the FB voltage in current mode
control, the switching frequency decreases as load
decreases. In heavy-load conditions, the switching
frequency is fixed at 65kHz. Once V
V
(2.7V), the PWM frequency starts linearly

decreasing from 65kHz to 24kHz to reduce switching
losses. As V

FB
(2.25V), where switching

is fixed to avoid acoustic noise.
When V

High-Voltage Startup and Line Sensing
The HV pin is typically connected to the AC line input
through an external diode and a resistor (R
in Figure 27. When AC line voltage is applied, the V
hold-up capacitor is charged by the line voltage through
the diodes and resistor. After V

The HV pin detects the AC line voltage using a switched
voltage divider that consists of external resistor (R
and internal resistor (R
), as shown in Figure 27. The
LS
HV
)
internal line-sensing circuit detects line voltage using a
sampling circuit and a peak-detection circuit. Since the
voltage divider causes power consumption when it is
switched on, the switching is driven by a signal with a
very narrow pulse width to minimize power loss. The
sampling frequency is adaptively changed according to
the load condition to minimize the power consumption in
the light-load condition.

High/Low Line Compensation for Constant
Power Limit
FAN6749 has cycle-by-cycle current limit, as shown in
Figure 28, which limits the maximum input power with a
given input voltage. If the output consumes beyond this
maximum power, the dropping output voltage triggers
the overload protection.
As shown in Figure 28, the high/low line compensation
block adjusts the current limit level, V
line voltage. Figure 29 shows how the cycle-by-cycle
current-limit level changes with the line voltage for
different R
resistors. To maintain the constant output
HV
power limit regardless of line voltage, the cycle-by-cycle
current limit level, V
, decreases as line voltage

increases. The current-limit level is also proportional to
the R
resistor value and power limit level can be tuned

using different R
resistors.

Two-Level Over-Current Protection (OCP)
Other than cycle-by-cycle current limiting, FAN6749
applies another threshold voltage, V
sense. As shown in Figure 28, when peak of V
exceeds V
at each pulse for a period of time, t
OCP
over-current protection (OCP) is triggered. This
protection is designed for applications with surge-current
outputs. If a peak load is present for less than t
controller operates as usual. If the peak load continues
longer than t
, GATE output is stopped to protect the
D-OCP
converter from overload condition.
Like V
LIMIT
, the V
is adjusted by high/low line
OCP
compensation block to maintain a constant over-current
protection level, regardless of line voltage. Figure 31
shows how V

HV
changes with the line voltage with
OCP
resistors.
When OCP is triggered, it is recommended to have
V
FB>VFB-N
for whole AC input range. VFB>V
switching frequency is fixed at 65kHz. If OCP is
triggered in the frequency-reduction region (V
output current is reduced due to lower switching
frequency. It causes the difference of OCP-triggering
point between high and low AC input voltages.
The VDD voltage decreases every time the output of the
power supply is shorted because the impedance at
secondary windings becomes far lower than at auxiliary
winding and currents choose the low-impedance path.

Leading-Edge Blanking (LEB)
Each time the power MOSFET is switched on, a turn-on
spike occurs on the sense resistor. To avoid premature
termination of the switching pulse, a leading-edge
blanking time, t
, is introduced. During this blanking
LEB
period, the current-limit comparator is disabled and
cannot switch off the gate driver.
Gate Output / Soft Driving
The BiCMOS output stage has a fast totem-pole gate
driver. The output driver is clamped by an internal 14.5V
Zener diode to protect power MOSFET gate from over
voltage. A soft driving is implemented to minimize
electromagnetic interference (EMI) by reducing the
switching noise.
VDD Over-voltage Protection (OVP)
VDD over-voltage protection prevents IC damage from
over-voltage exceeding the IC voltage rating. When the
V
voltage exceeds 29V, the protection is triggered.
DD
This protection is typically caused by an open circuit in
the secondary-side feedback network.
FAN6749 has an internal soft-start circuit that
progressively increases the cycle-by-cycle current limit
level of the MOSFET for 6ms during startup to establish
the correct working conditions for transformers and
capacitors to operate.
Over-Temperature Protection (OTP)
The RT pin provides adjustable Over-Temperature
Protection (OTP) and an external latch-triggering
function. For OTP application, an NTC thermistor, R
usually in series with a resistor, R
, is connected

used, place a 100k resistor between this pin and
ground to prevent noise interference.
Noise Immunity
Noise on the current sense or control signal may cause
significant pulse-width jitter, particularly in continuousconduction mode. Slope compensation helps alleviate
this problem. Good placement and layout practices
should be followed. Avoiding long PCB traces and
component leads, locating compensation and filter
components near the FAN6749, and increasing the
power MOS gate resistance improve performance.
