Introduction
The highly integrated SG6742 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
linearly decrease the switching frequency at light-load
conditions. To avoid acoustic-noise problems, the minimum
PWM frequency is set above 22KHz. This green-mode
function enables the power supply to meet international
power conservation requirements. With the internal highvoltage startup circuitry, the power loss due to bleeding
resistors is also eliminated. To further reduce power
consumption, SG6742 is manufactured using the BiCMOS
process, which allows an operating current of only 2.7mA.
Built-in synchronized slope compensation achieves stable
peak-current-mode control. The proprietary external line
compensation ensures a constant output-power limit over a
wide AC input voltage range, from 90V
SG6742 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.

(typically 2mA) charges the hold-up capacitor C

is drawn from the auxiliary winding of the main transformer,
as shown in Figure 4.

Soft-Start
For many applications, it is necessary to minimize the inrush
current during the startup period. The built-in 5ms/6ms soft-
start circuit significantly reduces the startup current spike
and output-voltage overshoot.

Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO)
The SG6742 has a voltage detector on the VDD pin to
ensure that the chip has enough power to drive the
MOSFET. Figure 6 shows a hysteresis of the turn-on and
turn-off threshold levels and an open-loop-release voltage.
