Description
The highly integrated SG6741A series of PWM
controllers 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
linearly decrease the switching frequency at light-load
conditions. To avoid acoustic-noise problems, the
minimum PWM frequency is set above 18KHz. This
green-mode function enables the power supply to meet
international power conservation requirements. With the
internal high-voltage startup circuitry, the power loss
due to bleeding resistors is eliminated. To further
reduce power consumption, SG6741A is manufactured
using the BiCMOS process, which allows an operating
current of only 4mA.
SG6741A integrates a frequency-hopping function
internally to reduce EMI emission of a power supply
with minimum line filters. A built-in synchronized slope
compensation achieves stable peak-current-mode
control. The proprietary internal line compensation
ensures constant output power limit over a wide AC
input voltages, from 90V
SG6741A provides many protection functions. In
addition to cycle-by-cycle current limiting, the internal
open-loop protection circuit ensures safety when an
open-loop or output short-circuit failure occurs. PWM
output is disabled until V
limit, when the controller starts up again. As long as V
exceeds ~26V, the internal OVP circuit is triggered.
SG6741A is available in an 8-pin SOP package.

Green-Mode Operation
The proprietary green-mode function provides an offtime modulation to reduce the switching frequency in
the light-load and no-load conditions. The on-time is
limited for better abnormal or brownout protection. V
which is derived from the voltage feedback loop, is
taken as the reference. Once V
is lower than the
FB
threshold voltage, switching frequency is continuously
decreased to the minimum green-mode frequency
around 18KHz (R
=26KΩ).

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 16.5V and 10.5V. During startup, the hold-up
capacitor must be charged to 16.5V through the startup
resistor to enable the IC. The hold-up capacitor

Gate Output / Soft Driving
The BiCMOS output stage is a fast totem-pole gate
driver. Cross conduction is avoided to minimize heat
dissipation, increase efficiency, and enhance reliability.
The output driver is clamped by an internal 18V Zener
diode to protect power MOSFET transistors against
undesirable gate over voltage. A soft driving waveform
is implemented to minimize EMI.
Oscillator Operation
A resistor connected from the RI pin to the GND pin
generates a constant current source for the controller.
This current is used to determine the center PWM
frequency. Increasing the resistance reduces PWM
frequency. Using a 26KΩ resistor R
results in a

Current Sensing and PWM Current
Limiting
Peak-current-mode control is utilized in SG6741A 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
feedback voltage. When the voltage on the SENSE pin
reaches around V

Built-in Slope Compensation
The sensed voltage across the current-sense resistor is
used for peak-current-mode control and pulse-by-pulse
current limiting. Built-in slope compensation improves
stability or prevents sub-harmonic oscillation. SG6741A
inserts a synchronized positive-going ramp at every
switching cycle.
Constant Output Power Limit
When the SENSE voltage, across the sense resistor Rs,
reaches the threshold voltage, around 0.9V, the output
GATE drive is turned off after a small delay, t
delay introduces an additional current proportional to t
• VIN / LP. Since the delay is nearly constant, regardless
of the input voltage V
higher input voltage results in a
IN,
larger additional current and the output power limit is
higher than that under low input line voltage. To
compensate this variation for wide AC input range, a
sawtooth power-limiter is designed to solve the unequal
power-limit problem. The power limiter is designed as a
positive ramp signal fed to the inverting input of the
OCP comparator. This results in a lower current limit at
high-line inputs than at low-line inputs.
VDD over-voltage protection has been built in to prevent
damage due to abnormal conditions. Once the V
voltage is over the VDD over-voltage protection voltage

Limited Power Control
The FB voltage increases every time the output of the
power supply is shorted or overloaded. If the FB voltage
remains higher than a built-in threshold for longer than

feature continues as long as the overloading condition
persists. This prevents the power supply from
overheating due to overloading conditions.
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 SG6741A, and increasing the
power MOS gate resistance improve performance.
