SENSE Short-Circuit Protection (SSCP)
Built-in 8ms Soft-Start Function
Applications
General-purpose switch-mode power supplies and
flyback power converters, including:
Power Adapters
Description
The highly integrated FAN6754A PWM controller
provides several features to enhance the performance
of flyback converters. To minimize standby power
consumption, a proprietary green-mode function
provides off-time modulation to continuously decrease
the switching frequency under light-load conditions.
Under zero-load and very light-load conditions,
FAN6754A saves PWM pulses by entering deep burst
mode. This burst mode function enables the power
supply to meet international power conservation
requirements.
FAN6754A integrates a frequency-hopping function
internally to reduce EMI emission of a power supply with
minimum line filters. Built-in synchronized slope
compensation is accomplished by proprietary HV
monitor to adjust V
over universal AC input range. The gate output is
clamped at 13V to protect the external MOSFET from
over-voltage damage.
Other protection functions include AC input brownout
protection with hysteresis, SENSE pin short-circuit
protection, and V
temperature protection, an external NTC thermistor can
be applied to sense the external switcher’s temperature.

Ground. This pin is used for the ground potential of all the pins. A 0.1µF decoupling capacitor
placed between VDD and GND is recommended.
Feedback. The output voltage feedback information from the external compensation circuit is fed
into this pin. The PWM duty cycle is determined by this pin and the current-sense signal from Pin
6. FAN6754A performs open-loop protection (OLP); if the FB voltage is higher than a threshold
voltage (around 4.6V) for more than 56ms, the controller latches off the PWM.
No Connection
High-Voltage Startup. This pin is connected to the line input via a 1N4007 and 200kΩ resistor to
achieve brownout and high/low line compensation. Once the voltage on the HV pin is lower than
the brownout voltage, PWM output turns off. High/low line compensation dominates the cycle-bycycle current limiting to achieve constant output power limiting with universal input.
Over-Temperature Protection. An external NTC thermistor is connected from this pin to GND.
The impedance of the NTC decreases at high temperatures. Once the voltage on the RT pin
drops below the threshold voltage, the controller latches off the PWM. If RT pin is not connected
to NTC resistor for Over-Temperature Protection, a 100KΩ series one resistor is recommended
to ground to prevent from noise interference. This pin is limited by an internal clamping circuit.
Current Sense. This pin is used to sense the MOSFET current for the current-mode PWM and
current limiting.
Supply Voltage. IC operating current and MOSFET driving current are supplied using this pin.
This pin is connected to an external bulk capacitor of typically 47µF. The threshold voltages for
turn-on and turn-off are 17V and 10V, respectively. The operating current is lower than 2mA.
Gate Drive Output. The totem-pole output driver for the power MOSFET. It is internally clamped

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.
For startup, the HV pin is connected to the line input
through an external diode and resistor; R

HV
200KΩ recommended). Peak startup current drawn from
the HV pin is (V

Operating Current
Operating current is around 1.5mA. The low operating

Green-Mode Operation
The proprietary green-mode function provides off-time
modulation to reduce the switching frequency in lightload and no-load conditions. V
, which is derived from
FB
the voltage feedback loop, is taken as the reference.
Once V
is lower than the threshold voltage (V
FB
FB-N
), the
switching frequency is continuously decreased to the
minimum green-mode frequency of around 22KHz.
Current Sensing / PWM Current Limiting
Peak-current-mode control is utilized to regulate output
voltage and provide pulse-by-pulse current limiting. The
switch current is detected by a sense resistor into the
SENSE pin. The PWM duty cycle is determined by this
current-sense signal and V
, the feedback voltage.

V
= (VFB–0.6)/4, the switch cycle is terminated

immediately. V
is internally clamped to a variable
COMP
voltage around 0.46V for low-line output power limit.
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 is built in. During this blanking period, the
current-limit comparator is disabled and cannot switch
off the gate driver.
Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO)
The turn-on and turn-off thresholds are fixed internally at
17V and 10V, respectively. During startup, the hold-up
capacitor must be charged to 17V through the startup
resistor to enable the IC. The hold-up capacitor
continues to supply V
delivered from auxiliary winding of the main transformer.
V
must not drop below 10V during startup. This UVLO
DD
hysteresis window ensures that hold-up capacitor is
adequate to supply V
until the energy can be

Gate Output / Soft Driving
The BiCMOS output stage is a fast totem-pole gate
driver. Cross conduction has been avoided to minimize
heat dissipation, increase efficiency, and enhance
reliability. The output driver is clamped by an internal
13V Zener diode to protect power MOSFET transistors
against undesirable gate over voltage. A soft driving
waveform is implemented to minimize EMI.
Soft-Start
For many applications, it is necessary to minimize the
inrush current at startup. The built-in 8mssoft-start
circuit significantly reduces the startup current spike and
output voltage overshoot.
Slope Compensation
The sensed voltage across the current-sense resistor is
used for peak-current-mode control and cycle-by-cycle
current limiting. Built-in slope compensation improves
stability and prevents sub-harmonic oscillation.
FAN6754A inserts a synchronized, positive-going, ramp
at every switching cycle.
Constant Output Power Limit
When the SENSE voltage across sense resistor R
reaches the threshold voltage, around 0.46V for low-line
condition, the output GATE drive is turned off after a
small delay, t
current proportional to t
. This delay introduces an additional
PD
• VIN / LP. Since the delay is
PD
nearly constant regardless of the input voltage V
higher input voltage results in a larger additional current
and the output power limit is higher than under low input
line voltage. To compensate this variation for a wide AC
input range, a power-limiter is controlled by the HV pin
to solve the unequal power-limit problem. The power
limiter is fed to the inverting input of the current limiting
comparator. This results in a lower current limit at highline inputs than at low-line inputs.
Brownout and Constant Power Limited by
the HV Pin
Unlike previous PWM controllers, FAN6754A’s HV pin
can detect the AC line voltage brownout function and
adjust the current limit. Using a fast diode and startup
resistor to sample the AC line voltage, the peak value
refreshes and is stored in a register at each sampling
cycle. When internal update time is met, this peak value
is used for brownout and current-limit level judgment.
Equation 1 and 2 calculate the level of brownin or
brownout converted to RMS value. For power saving,
FAN6754A enlarges the sampling cycle to lower the
power loss from HV sampling at light-load condition.
The HV pin can perform current limit to shrink the
tolerance of Over-Current Protection (OCP) under full
range of AC voltage, to linearly current limit curve, as
shown in Figure 25. FAN6754A also shrinks the V
level by half to lower the I
VDD over-voltage protection prevents damage due to
abnormal conditions. If the V
voltage protection voltage (V
, the PWM pulses are disabled until VDD drops
VDDOVP
below the UVLO, then starts again. Over-voltage
conditions are usually caused by open feedback loops.
Sense-Pin Short-Circuit Protection
The FAN6754A provides safety protection for Limited
Power Source (LPS) tests. When the sense resistor is
shorted by soldering during production, the pulse-bypulse current limiting loses efficiency for the purpose of
providing over-power protection for the unit. The unit
may be damaged when the loading is larger than the
maximum load. To protect against a short circuit across
the current-sense resistor, the controller is designed to
immediately shut down if a continuously low voltage
(around 0.05V/120µs) on the SENSE pin is detected.

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 FAN6754A, and increasing the
power MOS gate resistance improve performance.
