PINSFUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
DRAINPIN:

Integrated power MOSFET drain pin. It provides
internal bias current during start-up via an
integrated high voltage current source which is
switched off during normal operation. The device
is able to handle an unclamped current during its
normal operation, assuring self protection against
voltage surges, PCB stray inductance, and
allowing a snubberless operation for low output
power.

SOURCEPIN:

Power MOSFET source pin. Primary side circuit
commonground connection.

VDD PIN :

This pin provides two functions:

- It corresponds to the low voltage supply of the

controlpart of the circuit. If V
the start-up current source is activated and the
output power MOSFET is switched off untilthe
V

voltage reaches 11V. During this phase,

DD

the internal current consumption is reduced,
the V

pin is sourcing a currentof about 2mA

DD

and the COMP pin is shorted to ground. After
that, the current source is shut down, and the
devicetries to start upby switchingagain.

goes below 8V,

DD

- This pin is also connected to the error

amplifier, in order to allow primary as well as
secondary regulation configurations.In case of
primary regulation, an internal 13V trimmed
reference voltage is used to maintain V
13V. For secondary regulation, a voltage
between 8.5V and 12.5V will be puton V
by transformer design, in order to stuck the
output of the transconductanceamplifier to the
high state. The COMP pin behaves as a

DD

DD

at

pin

constant current source, and can easily be
connected to the output of an optocoupler.
Note that any overvoltage due to regulation
loop failure is still detected by the error
amplifier through the V

voltage, which

DD

cannot overpass 13V. The output voltage will
be somewhathigher than the nominalone, but
still undercontrol.

COMP PIN :

This pin providestwo functions :

- It is the output of the error transconductance

amplifier, and allows for the connection of a
compensation network to provide the desired
transfer function of the regulation loop. Its
bandwidth can be easily adjusted to the
needed value with usual componentsvalue. As
stated above, secondary regulation
configurations are also implemented through
the COMPpin.

- When the COMP voltage is going below 0.5V,

the shut-downof thecircuit occurs, with a zero
duty cycle for thepower MOSFET. This feature
can be used to switchoff the converter, and is
automatically activated by the regulation loop
(whatever is the configuration) to provide a
burst mode operation in case of negligible
output power or open load condition.

OSC PIN :

An R
to define the switching frequency. Note that
despite the connection of R
significant frequency change occurs for V
varying from 8V to 15V. It provides also a
synchronisationcapability, when connected to an
external frequency source.

OPERATIONDESCRIPTION :
CURRENT MODE TOPOLOGY:

The current mode control method, like the one
integrated in the VIPer50/50A uses two control
loops - an inner current controlloop and an outer
loop for voltage control. When the Power
MOSFET output transistor is on, the inductor
current (primary side of the transformer) is
monitored with a SenseFET technique and
converted into a voltage V
current. When V

reaches V

S

proportional to this

S

(the amplified

COMP

output voltage error) the power switch is switched
off. Thus, the outer voltage control loop defines
the level at which the inner loop regulates peak
current through the powerswitch and the primary
windingof the transformer.

Excellent open loop D.C. and dynamic line
regulation is ensured due to the inherent input
voltage feedforward characteristic of the current
mode control. This results in an improved line
regulation, instantaneous correction to line
changes and better stability for the voltage
regulationloop.

Current mode topology also ensures good
limitation in the caseof short circuit. During a first
phase the output current increases slowly
followingthe dynamic of the regulationloop. Then
it reaches the maximum limitation current
internally set and finally stops because the power
supply on V

is no longer correct. For specific

DD

applications the maximum peak current internally
set can be overridden by externally limiting the
voltage excursion on the COMP pin. An
integrated blanking filter inhibits the PWM
comparator output for a short time after the
integrated Power MOSFET is switched on. This
function prevents anomalous or premature
termination of the switching pulse in the case of
current spikes caused by primary side
capacitance or secondary side rectifier reverse
recovery time.

STAND-BY MODE

Stand-by operation in nearly open load condition
automatically leads to a burst mode operation
allowing voltage regulation on the secondary
side. The transition from normal operation to
burst mode operation happens for a powerP

Where:

deviceis able to provide in normal operation.This

P

+ td) V

(t

tb+tdis the sum of the blanking time and of the
propagation time of the internal current sense
and comparator, and represents roughly the
minimum on time of the device. Note that P

STBY

may be affected by the efficiency of the converter
at low load,and must include the power drawn on
the primary auxiliaryvoltage.

As soon as the power goes below this limit, the
auxiliary secondary voltage starts to increase
above the 13V regulation level forcing the output
voltage of the transconductance amplifier to low
state (V

COMP

<V

). This situation leads to

COMPth

the shutdown mode where the power switch is
maintained in the off state, resulting in missing
cycles and zero duty cycle. As soon asV
back to the regulation level and the V

gets

DD

COMPth

threshold is reached, the device operates again.
The above cycle repeats indefinitely, providing a
burst mode of which the effective duty cycle is
much lower than the minimum one when in
normal operation. The equivalent switching
frequency is also lower than the normal one,
leading to a reduced consumption on the input
mains lines. This mode of operation allows the
VIPer50/50A to meet the new German ”Blue
Angel” Norm with less than 1W total power
consumption for the system when working in
stand-by. The output voltage remains regulated
around the normal level, with a low frequency
ripple corresponding to the burst mode. The
amplitude of this ripple is low, because of the
output capacitors and of the low output current
drawn in such conditions.The normal operation
resumes automatically when the power get back
to higher levels than P

STBY

.

HIGH VOLTAGE START-UP CURRENT
SOURCE

An integrated high voltage current source
provides a bias current from the DRAIN pin
during the start-upphase. This current ispartially
absorbed by internal control circuits which are

12/20

VIPer50/SP - VIPer50A/ASP

placed into a standby mode with reduced
consumption and also provided to the external
capacitor connected to the V

pin. As soon as

DD

the voltage on this pin reaches the high voltage
threshold V

of the UVLO logic, the device

DDon

turns into active mode and starts switching. The
start up current generatoris switchedoff, and the
converter should normally provide the needed
current on the V

pin through the auxiliary

DD

winding of the transformer, as shown on figure

15.
In case of abnormalcondition where the auxiliary

winding is unable to provide the low voltage
supply current to the V

pin (i.e. short circuit on

DD

the output of the converter), the external
capacitor discharges itself down to the low
threshold voltage V

of the UVLO logic, and

DDoff

the device get back to the inactive state where
the internal circuits are in standbymode and the
start up current source is activated.The converter
enters a endless start up cycle, with a start-up
duty cycle definedby the ratio of charging current
towards discharging when the VIPer50/50A tries
to start. This ratio is fixed by design to 2 to 15,
which gives a 12% start up duty cycle while the
power dissipation at startup is approximately 0.6
W, for a 230 Vrmsinput voltage. Thislow value of
start-up duty cycle prevents the stress of the
output rectifiers and of the transformer when in

short circuit.
The external capacitor C

on the VDDpin must

VDD

be sized according to the time needed by the
converter to start up, when the device starts
switching. This time t

depends on many

SS

parameters, among which transformer design,
output capacitors, soft start feature and
compensation network implemented on the
COMP pin. The followingformula can beused for
definingthe minimumcapacitorneeded:

where:

t

is the start up time of the converter when the

SS

device begins to switch. Worst case is generally
at full load.

V

is the voltage hysteresis of the UVLO

logic. Refer to the minimumspecifiedvalue.
Soft start feature can be implemented on the

COMP pin through a simple capacitor which will
be also used as the compensation network. In
this case, the regulation loop bandwidth is rather
low, because of the large value of this capacitor.
In case a large regulation loop bandwidth is
mandatory, the schematics of figure 16 can be

between the COMP pin and ground in order to
define more accurately the transfer function F of
the error amplifier, according to the following
equation,very similar to the one above:

F

=Gm x Z(S)

(S)

The error amplifier frequency response is
reported in figure 10 for different values of a
simple resistance connected on the COMP pin.
The unloaded transconductance error amplifier
shows an internal Z

of about 330 KΩ. More

COMP

complex impedance can be connected on the
COMP pin to achieve different compensation
laws. A capacitor will provide an integrator
function, thus eliminating the DC static error, and
a resistance in series leads to a flat gain at higher
frequency, insuring a correct phase margin. This
configurationis illustratedon figure18.

As shown in figure18 an additional noise filtering
capacitor of 2.2 nF is generally needed to avoid
any highfrequency interference.

It can be also interesting to implement a slope
compensation when working in continuous mode
with duty cycle higher than 50%. Figure 19 shows
such a configuration. Note that R1 and C2 build
the classical compensation network, and Q1 is
injecting the slope compensation with the correct
polarity from the oscillatorsawtooth.

EXTERNALCLOCK SYNCHRONIZATION:

The OSC pin provides a synchronisation
capability, when connected to an external
frequency source. Figure 20 shows one possible

needs. If the proposed schematic is used, the
pulse durationmust be kept at a lowvalue (500ns
is sufficient) for minimizing consumption. The
optocoupler must be able to provide 20mA

OVER-TEMPERATUREPROTECTION:

Over-temperature protection is based on chip
temperature sensing. The minimum junction
temperature at which over-temperature cut-out
occurs is 140

C while the typical value is 160oC.
The device is automatically restarted when the
junction temperature decreases to the restart
temperaturethreshold that is typically 40

LAYOUTCONSIDERATIONS

Some simple rules insure a correct running of
switching power supplies. They may be classified
into twocategories:

- To minimise power loops: the waythe switched

power current must be carefully analysed and
the corresponding paths must present the
smallest inner loop area as possible. This
avoids radiated EMC noises, conducted EMC
noises by magnetic coupling, and provides a
better efficiency by eliminating parasitic
inductances,especially on secondaryside.

- Touse different tracks for lowlevel signals and

power ones. The interferencesdue to a mixing
of signal and power may result in instabilities
and/or anomalous behaviour of the device in
case of violent power surge (Input
overvoltages,output shortcircuits...).

In case of VIPer, these rules apply as shown on
figure 22. The loops C1-T1-U1, C5-D2-T1,
C7-D1-T1 must be minimised. C6 must be as
close as possible from T1. The signal
components C2, ISO1, C3 and C4 are using a
dedicated track to be connected directly to the
sourceof the device.
