A Valley Switching Converter generally shows lower EMI
and higher power conversion efficiency than a
conventional hard-switched converter with a fixed
switching frequency. The FSQ-series is an integrated
Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) controller and
SenseFET specifically designed for valley switching
operation with minimal external components. The PWM
controller includes an integrated fixed-frequency
oscillator, under-voltage lockout, Leading-Edge Blanking
(LEB), optimized gate driver, internal soft-start,
temperature-compensated precise current sources for
loop compensation, and self-protection circuitry.
Compared with discrete MOSFET and PWM controller
solutions, the FSQ-series reduces total cost, component
count, size and weight; while simultaneously increasing
efficiency, productivity, and system reliability. This
device provides a basic platform for cost-effective
designs of valley switching fly-back converters.

current is supplied from pin 5 (Vstr) via an internal switch during startup (see Figure 2).
It is not until V
reaches the UVLO upper threshold (12V) that the internal startup switch
CC
opens and device power is supplied via the auxiliary transformer winding.
The feedback voltage pin is the non-inverting input to the PWM comparator. It has a
0.9mA current source connected internally while a capacitor and opto-coupler are typically
connected externally. There is a time delay while charging external capacitor C
to 6V using an internal 5A current source. This delay prevents false triggering under
transient conditions, but still allows the protection mechanism to operate under true
overload conditions.
This pin is internally connected to the sync-detect comparator for valley switching.
Typically the voltage of the auxiliary winding is used as Sync input voltage and external
resistors and capacitor are needed to make delay to match valley point. The threshold of
the internal sync comparator is 0.7V/0.2V.
This pin is connected to the rectified AC line voltage source. At startup, the internal switch
supplies internal bias and charges an external storage capacitor placed between the Vcc
pin and ground. Once the V
reaches 12V, the internal switch is opened.
CC
The drain pins are designed to connect directly to the primary lead of the transformer and
are capable of switching a maximum of 650V. Minimizing the length of the trace
connecting these pins to the transformer decreases leakage inductance.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
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. T
