Description
The SG6846A is especially designed for SMPS with
surge-current output, incorporated with a two-level OCP
function. Besides the cycle-by-cycle current limiting, if
the switching current is higher than two thirds the peakcurrent threshold for 1700ms, over-current protection is
activated such that the SG6846A is latched off.
If the switching current is higher than two thirds of the
peak-current threshold for 100ms, and the voltage on
the V
is still higher than V
DD
are latched off immediately once the V
lower than V
short circuit occurs.
SG6846A also integrates a frequency-hopping function
internally to reduce EMI emission of a power supply with
minimum line filters. Its built-in synchronized slope
compensation provides proprietary internal
compensation for constant output power limit over
universal AC input range. Also, the gate output is
clamped at 18V to protect the external MOSFET from
over-voltage damage. Internal soft-start is built-in to
soften the stress on the MOSFET and startup current
during power on period.
Other protection functions include AC input brownout
protection with hysteresis, V
and over-temperature protection. For over-temperature
protection, an external NTC thermistor can be applied to
sense the ambient temperature. When OCP, V
or OTP is activated, an internal latch circuit latches off
the controller. The PWM pulses stay latched off until the
power supply is disconnected from the mains outlet.
SG6846A controller is available in 8-pin SOP package.

duty cycle is determined in response to the signal from this pin and the currentsense signal from pin 6.
Line-voltage detection is used for brownout protection with hysteresis. Constant
output power limit over universal AC input range is achieved using this pin. Add
a low-pass filter to filter out line ripple on the bulk capacitor.
A resistor from the RI pin to ground generates a reference current source that
determines the switching frequency. Increasing the resistance reduces the
switching frequency. A 26k resistor results in a 65kHz switching 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 threshold, PWM
output is disabled.
The sensed voltage is used for peak-current-mode control and cycle-by-cycle
current limiting. If the switching current is higher than OCP threshold and lasts
for 1700ms, SG6846A turns off immediately. This two-level OCP feature is
especially suitable for SMPS with surge current output.
If an open-circuit failure occurs in the feedback loop, the internal protection
circuit disables PWM output as long as VDD exceeds a threshold.

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. All voltage values, except differential voltages, are given with
respect to GND pin.
