The MC44603A is an enhanced high performance controller that is
specifically designed for off–line and dc–to–dc converter applications. This
device has the unique ability of automatically changing operating modes if
the converter output is overloaded, unloaded, or shorted, offering the
designer additional protection for increased system reliability. The
MC44603A has several distinguishing features when compared to
conventional SMPS controllers. These features consist of a foldback facility
for overload protection, a standby mode when the converter output is slightly
loaded, a demagnetization detection for reduced switching stresses on
transistor and diodes, and a high current totem pole output ideally suited for
driving a power MOSFET. It can also be used for driving a bipolar transistor
in low power converters (< 150 W). It is optimized to operate in
discontinuous mode but can also operate in continuous mode. Its advanced
design allows use in current mode or voltage mode control applications.

This pin is the positive supply of the IC. The operating voltage range after startup is 9.0 to 14.5 V .
The output high state (VOH) is set by the voltage applied to this pin. With a separate connection to the
power source, it can reduce the effects of switching noise on the control circuitry.

power ground.
voltage (1.0 V max) establishes on the system control loop a foldback characteristic allowing a smoother
startup and sharper overload protection. Above 1.0 V the foldback input is inactive.
When the overvoltage protection pin receives a voltage greater than 17 V , the device is disabled and
requires a complete restart sequence. The overvoltage level is programmable.
A voltage proportional to the current flowing into the power switch is connected to this input. The PWM
latch uses this information to terminate the conduction of the output buffer when working in a current
mode of operation. A maximum level of 1.0 V allows either current or voltage mode operation.
A voltage delivered by an auxiliary transformer winding provides to the demagnetization pin an indication
of the magnetization state of the flyback transformer. A zero voltage detection corresponds to complete
core saturation. The demagnetization detection ensures a discontinuous mode of operation. This
function can be inhibited by connecting Pin 8 to Gnd.
The synchronization input pin can be activated with either a negative pulse going from a level between
0.7 V and 3.7 V to Gnd or a positive pulse going from a level between 0.7 V and 3.7 V up to a level
higher than 3.7 V . The oscillator runs free when Pin 9 is connected to Gnd.
The normal mode oscillator frequency is programmed by the capacitor CT choice together with the R
resistance value. CT, connected between Pin 10 and Gnd, generates the oscillator sawtooth.

A capacitor, resistor or a voltage source connected to this pin limits the switching duty–cycle. This pin

OPERA TING DESCRIPTION
Error Amplifier
A fully compensated Error Amplifier with access to the
inverting input and output is provided. It features a typical dc
voltage gain of 70 dB. The noninverting input is internally
biased at 2.5 V and is not pinned out. The converter output
voltage is typically divided down and monitored by the
inverting input. The maximum input bias current with the
inverting input at 2.5 V is –2.0 µA. This can cause an output
voltage error that is equal to the product of the input bias
current and the equivalent input divider source resistance.
The Error Amp output (Pin 13) is provided for external loop
compensation. The output voltage is offset by two diode
drops (≈ 1.4 V) and divided by three before it connects to the
inverting input of the Current Sense Comparator. This
guarantees that no drive pulses appear at the Output (Pin 3)
when Pin 13 is at its lowest state (VOL). The Error Amp
minimum feedback resistance is limited by the amplifier’s
minimum source current (0.2 mA) and the required output
voltage (VOH) to reach the current sense comparator’s 1.0 V

Current Sense Comparator and PWM Latch
The MC44603A can operate as a current mode controller
or as a voltage mode controller. In current mode operation,
the MC44603A uses the current sense comparator. The
output switch conduction is initiated by the oscillator and
terminated when the peak inductor current reaches the

threshold level established by the Error Amplifier output (Pin
13). Thus, the error signal controls the peak inductor current
on a cycle–by–cycle basis. The Current Sense Comparator
PWM Latch ensures that only a single pulse appears at the
Source Output during the appropriate oscillator cycle.
The inductor current is converted to a voltage by inserting
the ground referenced sense resistor RS in series with the
power switch Q1.
This voltage is monitored by the Current Sense Input
(Pin 7) and compared to a level derived from the Error Amp
output. The peak inductor current under normal operating
conditions is controlled by the voltage at Pin 13 where:

the MOSFET input capacitance and any series wiring inductance in the
gate–source circuit. Diode D is required if the negative current into the output
drive pin exceeds 15 mA.
Oscillator
The oscillator is a very accurate sawtooth generator that
can work either in free mode or in synchronization mode. In
this second mode, the oscillator stops in the low state and
waits for a demagnetization or a synchronization pulse to
start a new charging cycle.
• The Sawtooth Generation:
In the steady state, the oscillator voltage varies between
about 1.6 V and 3.6 V.
The sawtooth is obtained by charging and discharging an
external capacitor CT (Pin 10), using two distinct current
sources = I
connected to the charging current source (0.4 I
charge
and I
discharge
. In fact, CT is permanently
) and so,
ref
the discharge current source has to be higher than the
charge current to be able to decrease the CT voltage (refer
to Figure 35).
This condition is performed, its value being (2.0 I

Two comparators are used to generate the sawtooth. They
compare the CT voltage to the oscillator valley (1.6 V) and
peak reference (3.6 V) values. A latch (L

oscillator state.
In addition to the charge and discharge cycles, a third
state can exist. This phase can be produced when, at the end
of the discharge phase, the oscillator has to wait for a
synchronization or demagnetization pulse before restarting.
During this delay, the CT voltage must remain equal to the
oscillator valley value (]1.6 V). So, a third regulated current

Synchronization and Demagnetization Blocks
To enable the output, the L
output must be low. Reset is activated by the L
during the discharge phase. T o restart, the L
(refer to Figure 34). To perform this, the demagnetization
signal and the synchronization must be low.
• Synchronization:
The synchronization block consists of two comparators
that compare the synchronization signal (external) to 0.7 and
3.7 V (typical values). The comparators’ outputs are
connected to the input of an AND gate so that the final output
of the block should be :
– high when 0.7 < SYNC < 3.7 V
– low in the other cases.
As a low level is necessary to enable the output,
synchronized low level pulses have to be generated on the
output of the synchronization block. If synchronization is not
required, the Pin 9 must be connected to the ground.

A diode D has been incorporated to clamp the positive
applied voltages while an active clamping system limits the
negative voltages to typically –0.33 V. This negative clamp
level is sufficient to avoid the substrate diode switching on.
In addition to the comparator, a latch system has been
incorporated in order to keep the demagnetization block
output level low as soon as a voltage lower than 65 mV is
detected and as long as a new restart is produced (high level
on the output) (refer to Figure 38). This process prevents
ringing on the signal at Pin 8 from disrupting the
demagnetization detection. This results in a very accurate
demagnetization detection.
The demagnetization block output is also directly
connected to the output, disabling it during the
demagnetization phase (refer to Figure 33).
NOTE: The demagnetization detection can be inhibited by
connecting Pin 8 to the ground.

• Power Losses in a Classical Flyback Structure
• Demagnetization:
In flyback applications, a good means to detect magnetic
saturation of the transformer core, or demagnetization,
consists in using the auxiliary winding voltage. This voltage is:
– negative during the on–time,
– positive during the off–time,
– equal to zero for the dead–time with generally some
– ringing (refer to Figure 37).
That is why, the MC44603A demagnetization detection
consists of a comparator that can compare the auxiliary
winding voltage to a reference that is typically equal to
65 mV.

Consequently, standby losses can be minimized by

The MC44603A was designed to operate at a standby
frequency lower than the normal working one.
• Standby Power Calculations with MC44603A
During a switching period, the energy drawn by the
transformer during the on–time to be transferred to the output
during the off–time, is equal to:
where:
– L is the transformer primary inductor,
– lpk is the inductor peak current.
Input power is labelled Pin:

Using the internal current source (0.4 I
voltage can easily be set by connecting a resistor to this pin.
If a capacitor is connected to Pin 1 1, the voltage increases
from 0 to its maximum value progressively (refer to Figure
44), thereby, implementing a soft–start. The soft–start
capacitor is discharged internally when the VCC (Pin 1)
voltage drops below 9.0 V.

If no external component is connected to Pin 11, an
internal zener diode clamps the Pin 11 voltage to a value V
that is higher than the oscillator peak value, disabling
soft–start and maximum duty cycle limitation.
Foldback
As depicted in Figures 32 and 48, the foldback input (Pin
5) can be used to reduce the maximum VCS value, providing
foldback protection. The foldback arrangement is a
programmable peak current limitation.
If the output load is increased, the required converter peak
current becomes higher and VCS increases until it reaches its
maximum value (normally , VCS
Then, if the output load keeps on increasing, the system is
unable to supply enough energy to maintain the output
voltages in regulation. Consequently, the decreasing output
can be applied to Pin 5, in order to limit the maximum peak
current. In this way, the well known foldback characteristic
can be obtained (refer to Figure 45).
