Application Information
Start-up Current
The typical start-up current is around 8uA. Very low
start-up current allows the PWM controller to
increase the value of start-up resistor and then
reduce the power dissipation on it.
UVLO (Under Voltage Lockout)
A hysteresis UVLO comparator is implemented in
GR8837, then the turn-on and turn-off thresholds
level are fixed at 11.3V and 6.8V respectively. This
hysteresis shown in Fig.9 ensures that the start-up
capacitor will be adequate to supply the chip during
start-up. The GR8837 is designed to meet the
standby power below 100mW. So the start-up
resistor can be used as several Mega Ohms to
reduce the power loss. Due to the low UVLO on
level, so the turn-on delay time will also never
greater than the general PWM IC.
GR8837
frequency of the controller will decrease so as to
reduce the system power consumption. The
minimum frequency is about 22 KHz, which is
outside the audio range.
LEB (Leading-Edge Blanking)
Each time the power MOSFET is switched on, a
turn-on spike will inevitably occur at the sense
resistor. To avoid fault trigger, a 350ns leading-edge
blanking time is built in. Conventional RC filtering
can therefore be omitted. During this blanking
period, the current-limit comparator is disabled and
can not switch off the gate driver.
Internal Slope Compensation
A built-in slope compensation circuit is constructed
in GR8837. When the switch is on, a ramp voltage is
added to the sensed voltage across the CS pin,
which helps to stabilize the system and prevent the
Fig.9
Soft Start
During initial power on, the GR8837 provides 16ms
soft start function. It effectively suppresses the start
up peak current to reduce the power MOSFET drain
voltage especially at high line.
Oscillator
The maximum duty-cycle of internal oscillator is
limited to 75% for avoiding the transformer
saturation. The frequency of the oscillator is fixed to
65KHz by internal setting.
Green-Mode Operation
When the load decreases to an extent, the

sub-harmonic oscillations.
OLP (Over Load Protection)
The GR8837 has over load protection function. An
internal circuit detects the load level, when the load
is larger than a threshold level and the condition
lasts more than 60ms, the gate output will keep on
low level. Then VCC decreases below UVLO off
level, the controller resets again. Fig.10 shows the
waveform of the OLP operation.

GR8837
OVP (Over Voltage Protection) on VCC
To prevent power MOSFET from being damaged,
the GR8837 is implemented an OVP function on
VCC. When the VCC voltage is higher than the OVP
threshold voltage, the output gate driver circuit will
be shut down immediately to stop the switching of
power MOSFET. The VCC pin OVP function is a
latch type protection. GR8837 is working in latch
mode as shown in Fig. 11.
Fig. 11
Gate Clamp/Soft Driving
Driver is clamped to 13V by an internal clamping
circuit. A totem pole gate driver is fine tuned to meet
both EMI and efficiency requirement in low power
application. An internal pull low circuit is activated
after pretty low Vdd to prevent external MOSFET
from accidentally turning on during UVLO.
The operation is shown in Fig.12.

The VCC mode function is used to prevent the
output re-start again when load changes. So never
let the system operate on the VCC mode at no load.
The system should operate on burst mode,
otherwise the input power maybe become larger.
RTL Pin Latch Off Mode
VCC Mode Operation
In order to avoid the output voltage shut down by
load changing from full to no load, the GR8837 is
built-in the VCC mode function. When the load from
full changes to no load, the output voltage will
overshoot and pull low the COMP pin by feedback
loop. Thus the duty will disappear and no power
delivers to the secondary. If there is without any
mechanism to prevent this situation, the VCC pin
voltage will down to UVLO off and the IC will re-start
again. In the GR8837, before the VCC is down to
UVLO off, it will force the OUT pin outputs the
Fig. 13
The typical application for RTL pin is shown in Fig.
13. The Zener diode is setting as external OVP
protection and the NTC thermal resistor is setting as
external OTP protection. In the RTL pin, there are
two comparators for latch-off mode protection. While
the voltage on this pin is higher than 3.5V or lower
specified duty to pull the VCC higher than UVLO off.

than 1.0V, the GR8837 will shut down after the
de-bounce time 100us. And the GR8837 will never
auto recovery, unless the VCC pin voltage is down
to reset level as same as shown in Fig. 11.
