Description
The highly integrated SG5842A/JA 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 continuously decrease
the switching frequency at light-load conditions. To
avoid acoustic-noise problems, the minimum PWM
frequency set above 22KHz. This green-mode function
enables the power supply to meet international power
conservation requirements. To further reduce power
consumption, SG5842A/JA is manufactured using the
BiCMOS process. This allows a low startup current,
around 14µA, and an operating current of only 4mA. As
a result, a large startup resistance can be used.
The SG5842A/JA built-in synchronized slope
compensation achieves stable peak-current-mode
control. SG5842JA integrates a frequency-hopping
function that helps reduce EMI emission of a power
supply with minimum line filters.
SG5842A/JA provides many protection functions. In
addition to cycle-by-cycle current limiting, the internal
open-loop protection circuit ensures safety should an
open-loop or output short-circuit failure occur. PWM
output is disabled until V
limit, then the controller starts again. As long as V
exceeds about 24V, the internal OVP circuit is triggered.
An external NTC thermistor can be applied for overtemperature protection.
SG5842A/JA is available in an 8-pin DIP or SOP
package.

determined in response to the signal from this pin and the current-sense signal from Pin 6. If FB
voltage exceeds the threshold, the internal protection circuit disables PWM output after a
predetermined delay time.
For startup, this pin is pulled HIGH to the rectified line input via a resistor. Since the startup
current requirement is very small, a large startup resistance can be used to minimize power loss.
A resistor connected from the RI pin to GND provides a constant current source. This determines
the center PWM frequency. Increasing the resistance reduces PWM frequency. Using a 26KΩ
resistor results in a 65KHz center PWM 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 fixed limit, PWM output is latched off.
Current sense. The sensed voltage is used for peak-current-mode control and cycle-by-cycle

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.
