Typical applications cover off line power supplies
for battery charger adapters, standby power
supplies for TV or monitors, auxiliary supplies for
motor control, etc.
The internal control circuit offers the following
benefits:
– L arge input voltage range on the V
accommodates changes in auxiliary supply
voltage. This feature is well adapted to
battery charger adapter configurations.
– Automatic burst mode in low load condition.
– Overvoltage protection in HICCUP mode.

VIPer12ADIP/ AS - ERectangular U-I Output characteristics
4 Rectangular U-I Output characteristics
Figure 3.Rectangular U-I output characteristics for battery charger
A complete regulation scheme can achieve combined and accurate output characteristics.
Figure 3. presents a secondary feedback through an optocoupler driven by a TSM101. This
device offers two operational amplifiers and a voltage reference, thus allowing the regulation
of both output voltage and current. An integrated OR function performs the combination of
the two resulting error signals, leading to a dual voltage and current limitation, known as a
rectangular output characteristic. This type of power supply is especially useful for battery
chargers where the output is mainly used in current mode, in order to deliver a defined
charging rate. The accurate voltage regulation is also convenient for Li-ion batteries which
require both modes of operation.

■ As soon as the device starts switching, it immediately receives some energy from the
auxiliary winding. C5 can be therefore reduc ed and a smal l ceramic c hip (100nF) is
sufficient to insure the filtering function. The total s tart up time from the switch on of input
voltage to output voltage presence is dramatically decreased.
■ The output current characteristic can be maintained even with very low or zero output
voltage. Since the TSM101 is also supplied in forward mode, it keeps the current
regulation up whatever the output voltage is.The V

6 Feedback pin principle of operation
A feedback pin controls the operation of the device. Unlike conventional PWM control
circuits which use a voltage input (the inverted input of an operational amplifier), the FB pin
is sensitive to current. Figure 4. presents the internal current mode structure.

The Power MOSFET delivers a sense current I
which is proportional to the main current Id.

R2 receives this current and the current coming from the FB pin. The voltage across R2 is
then compared to a fixed reference voltage of about 0.23V. The MOSFET is switched off

In a real application, the FB pin is driven with an optocoupler as shown on Figure 4. which
acts as a pull up. So, it is not possible to really short this pin to ground and the above drain
current value is not achievable. Nevertheless, the capacitor C is averaging the voltage on
the FB pin, and when the optocoupler is off (start up or short circuit), it can be assumed that
the corresponding voltage is very close to 0V.
For low drain currents, the formula (1) is valid as long as IFB satisfies I

Idlim, that is to say 50 mA, the device will enter a burst mode operation by missing switching
cycles. This is especially important when the converter is lightly loaded.

device is no more able to control it in a linear way. This drain current depends on the primary
inductance value of the transformer and the input voltage. Two cases may occur, depending
on the value of this current versus the fixed 50mA value, as described above.

device operates at full current capacity and the output voltage rises until reaching the
regulation point where the secondary loop begins to send a current in the optocoupler. At
this point, the converter enters a regulated operation where the FB pin receives the amount
of current needed to deliver the right power on secondary side.
