Description
The highly integrated PWM controller, SG6846B,
provides several features to enhance the performance
of fly-back 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 conditions, the power supply enters
burst-mode. This completely shuts off PWM output. If
V
is larger than around 1.6V, PWM pulses out. This
FB
green-mode function enables power supplies to meet
international power conservation requirements.
The SG6846B is designed for SMPS with surge-current
output. It is incorporated with a two-level OCP function.
Besides, the cycle-by-cycle current limiting, if the
switching current is higher than OCP threshold and
lasts for 200ms, SG6846B stops gate immediately and
latches itself (BLSY version) or restarts after V
charges up to 16.5V (BCSY version). SG6846B also
integrates frequency-hopping function internally. The
frequency hopping function helps reduce EMI emission
of a power supply with minimum line filters. It has builtin synchronized slope compensation, proprietary
internal compensation for constant output power limit
over universal AC input range. The gate output is
clamped at 18V to protect the external MOSFET from
over-voltage damage.
Protection include: AC input brownout protection with
hysteresis and V
temperature protection, an external NTC thermistor can
be applied to sense the ambient temperature. When

duty cycle is determined in response to the signal from this pin and the currentsense signal from pin 6.
Line-voltage detection is used for brownout protection with hysteresis. Constant
output power limit over universal AC input range is achieved using this pin. Add
a low-pass filter to filter out line ripple on the bulk capacitor.
A resistor from the RI pin to ground generates a reference current source that
determines the switching frequency. Increasing the resistance reduces the
switching frequency. A 26k resistor results in a 65kHz switching frequency.
For over-temperature protection, an external NTC thermistor is connected from
this pin to the GND pin. The impedance of the NTC decreases at high
temperatures. Once the voltage of the RT pin drops below a threshold, PWM
output is disabled.
The sensed voltage is used for peak-current-mode control and cycle-by-cycle
current limiting. If the switching current is higher than OCP threshold and lasts
for 200ms, SG6846B turns off immediately. This two-level OCP feature is
especially suitable for SMPS with surge current output.
If an open-circuit failure occurs in the feedback loop, the internal protection
circuit disables PWM output as long as V

Stresses exceeding the absolute maximum ratings may damage the device. The device may not function or be
operable above the recommended operating conditions and stressing the parts to these levels is not recommended.
In addition, extended exposure to stresses above the recommended operating conditions may affect device
reliability. The absolute maximum ratings are stress ratings only. All voltage values, except differential voltages, are

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.
The turn-on/turn-off thresholds are fixed internally at
16.5V and 10.5V. To enable the SG6846B during
startup, the hold-up capacitor must first be charged to
16.5V through the startup resistor.
If an open-circuit or short-circuit to ground occurs at the
RI pin, the internal protection circuit immediately shuts
down the controller.
The hold-up capacitor continues to supply V
before
DD
energy can be delivered from the auxiliary winding of
the main transformer. The V
must not drop below
DD
10.5V during this startup process. This UVLO hysteresis
window ensures that the hold-up capacitor can
adequately supply V
during startup.
DD
The typical startup current is only 8µA, which allows a
high-resistance, low-wattage startup resistor to be used.
For constant output power limit over a universal inputvoltage range, the peak-current threshold is adjusted by
the voltage of the VIN pin. Since the VIN pin is
connected to the rectified AC input line voltage through
the resistive divider, a higher line voltage generates a
higher V
the V
voltage. The threshold voltage decreases as
IN
increases, making the maximum output power at
IN
high line input voltage equal to that at low line input.
The value of R-C network should not be so large it
affects the power limit (shown in Figure 19). R and C
should put on less than 300 and 1000pF, respectively,
to minimize power loss. A 1.5M/0.25W startup resistor
and a 10µF/25V V
hold-up capacitor are sufficient for
DD
a universal input range.
The required operating current has been reduced to
3.7mA, which enables higher efficiency and reduces the
V
hold-up capacitance requirement.

Green-Mode Operation
The proprietary green-mode function provides off-time
modulation to continuously decrease the switching
frequency under light-load conditions. Maximum on-time
is limited to provide protection against abnormal
conditions. To further reduce power consumption under
zero-load condition, the PWM oscillator is completely
turned off and the power supply enters burst-mode.
Green mode dramatically reduces power consumption
under light-load and zero-load conditions. Power
supplies using SG6846B can meet restrictive
international regulations regarding standby power
consumption.
Oscillator Operation
A resistor connected from the RI pin to GND generates
a internal reference current source used to determine
the PWM frequency. Increasing the resistance
decreases the amplitude of the current source and
reduces the PWM frequency. Using a 26kΩ resistor
results in a corresponding 65kHz switching frequency.

If an open-circuit or short-circuit to ground occurs at the
RI pin, the internal protection circuit immediately shuts
down the controller.
Two-level Over-current Protection (OCP)
The cycle-by-cycle current limiting shuts down the PWM
immediately when the switching current is over the
peak-current threshold. Additionally, when the switching
current is higher than over-current threshold, the internal
counter counts down. When the total accumulated
counting time is more than ~200ms (R
= 26k), the
I
controller is latched off and the internal counter counts
up. When the switching current is lower than overcurrent threshold, the internal counter counts down.
When the total accumulated counting time is more than
~200ms (R
= 26k), the controller is latched off.
I
This two-level OCP protection and up/down counter are
especially designed for SMPS with surge current output,
such as those for printers, scanners, and motor drivers.
Constant Output Power Limit
For constant output power limit over universal inputvoltage range, the peak-current threshold is adjusted by
the voltage of the VIN pin. Since the VIN pin is
connected to the rectified AC input line voltage through
the resistive divider, a higher line voltage generates a
higher V
V
IN
voltage. The threshold voltage decreases as
IN
increases, making the maximum output power at
high-line input voltage equal to that at low-line input.
Brownout Protection
Since the VIN pin is connected through a resistive
divider to the rectified AC input line voltage, it can also
be used for brownout protection. If the V
less than 0.7V, the PWM output is shut off. If the V
voltage is
IN
is
IN
over 0.9V, the PWM output is turned on again. The
hysteresis window for on/off is ~0.2V.
VDD Over-voltage Protection (OVP)
VDD over-voltage protection is built in to prevent
damage. If V
is over 24V, SG6846B is latched off.
DD
Over-Temperature Protection (OTP)
An external NTC thermistor can be connected from the
RT pin to GND. The impedance of the NTC decreases
at high temperatures. When the voltage of the RT pin
drops below 1.05V, the SG6846B is turned off. For
protection-mode options, see Ordering Information.
Noise from the current sense or the control signal may
cause significant pulse-width jitter, particularly in
continuous-conduction mode. Slope compensation
helps alleviate this problem. Good placement and
layout practices should be followed. Avoid long PCB
traces and component leads. Compensation and filter
components should be located near the SG6846B.
