3. The IC does not activate soft--start (unless the feedback pin voltage is below 0.3 V) when the skip/disable input is released, this is for skip
cycle implementation.
The NCP1397A/B includes all necessary features to help
building a rugged and safe switch--mode power supply
featuring an extremely low standby power. The below
bullets detail the benefits brought by implementing the
NCP1397A/B controller:
APPLICATION INFORMATION
Wide frequency range: A high--speed Voltage Control
Oscillator allows an output frequency excursion from
50 kHz up to 500 kHz on M
lower
and M
upper
outputs.
Adjustable dead--time: Due to a single resistor wired
to ground, the user has the ability to include some
dead--time, helping to fight cross--conduction between
the upper and the lower transistor.
Adjustable soft--start: Every time the controller starts
to operate (power on), the switching frequency is
pushed to the programmed starting value by external
components (R
toward the minimum frequency, until the feedback loop
closes. The soft--start discharge input (SS(dis))
discharges the Soft--Start capacitor before any IC restart
excluding the restart after Disable is released AND FB
voltage is higher than 0.3 V . The Soft--Start discharge
switch also activates in case the Fault input detects the
overload conditions.
Fmin
//R
) and slowly moves down
Fstart
Adjustable minimum and maximum frequency
excursion: In resonant applications, it is important to
stay away from the resonating peak to keep operating
the converter in the right region. Thanks to a single
external resistor, the designer can program its lowest
frequency point, obtained in lack of feedback voltage
(during the startup sequence or in short--circuit
conditions). Internally trimmed capacitors offer a ±3%
precision on the selection of the minimum switching
frequency. The adjustable upper stop being less precise
to ±12%.
Low startup current: When directly powered from the
high--voltage DC rail, the device only requires 300 mA
to startup.
Brown--Out detection: To avoid operation from a low
input voltage, it is interesting to prevent the controller
from switching if the high--voltage rail is not within the
right boundaries. Also, when teamed with a PFC
front--end circuitry, the brown--out detection can ensure
a clean startup sequence with soft--start, ensuring that
the PFC is stabilized before energizing the resonant
tank. The BO input features a 28 mA hysteresis current
for the lowest consumption.
Adjustable fault timer duration: When a fault is
detected on the Fault input or when the FB path is
broken, timer pin starts to charge an external capacitor.
If the fault is removed, the timer opens the charging
path and nothing happens. When the timer reaches its
selected duration (via a capacitor on Pin 3), all pulses
are stopped. The controller now waits for the discharge
via an external resistor on Pin 3 to issue a new clean
startup sequence via soft--start.
Cumulative fault events: In the NCP1397A/B, the
timer capacitor is not reset when the fault disappears. It
actually integrates the information and cumulates the
occurrences. A resistor placed in parallel with the
capacitor will offer a simple way to adjust the discharge
rate and thus the auto--recovery retry rate.
Overcurrent detection using Fault input: The fault
input is specifically designed to protect LLC
application in case of short circuit or overload. In case
the voltage on this input grows above first threshold the
current source is activated and Fault timer

capacitor starts charging. Simultaneously the Soft--Start
discharge switch is activated to increase operating
frequency of the converter. The IC stops operation in
case the Fault timer elapses. The Fault input includes
also second fault comparator that:
-- Speeds up the fault timer capacitor charging by
increasing the I
-- Latches off the device – NCP1397B
The second fault comparator thus helps to protect the power
stage in case of hard short circuit (like shorted transformer
winding etc.)

Broken feedback loop detection: Upon startup or any
time during operation, if the FB signal is missing, the
timer starts to charge timer capacitor. If the loop is
really broken, the FB level does not grow--up before the
timer ends charging. The controller then stops all pulses
and waits until the timer pin voltage collapses to 1 V
typically before a new attempt to restart, via the
soft--start. If the optocoupler is permanently broken, a
hiccup takes place.
Common collector or common emitter optocoupler
connection options: This IC allows the designer to
select from two possible optocoupler configurations.

operation from 100 kHz up to 1 MHz. However,as a division

such a way that if the feedback pin voltage goes up, the
switching frequency also goes up. Figure 25 shows the
architecture of the VCO oscillator.

Figure 25. The Simplified VCO Architecture
The designer needs to program the maximum switching
frequency and the minimum switching frequency. In LLC
configurations, for circuits working above the resonant
frequency, a high precision is required on the minimum
frequency, hence the ±3% specification. This minimum
switching frequency is actually reached when no feedback
closes the loop. It can happen during the startup sequence,
a strong output transient loading or in a short--circuit
condition. By installing a resistor from Pin 4 to GND, the
minimum frequency is set. Using the same philosophy,
wiring a resistor from Pin 2 to GND will set the maximum
frequency excursion. To improve the circuit protection
features, we have purposely created a dead zone, where the
feedback loop has no action. This is typically below 1.1 V.
Figure 26 details the arrangement where the internal voltage
(that drives the VCO) varies between 0 and 2.3 V. However,
to create this swing, the feedback pin (to which the
optocoupler emitter connects), will need to swing typically
between 1.1 V and 5.3 V.

in case the FB pin cannot rise above 0.3 V (to actually close
the loop) in less than a duration imposed by the
programmable timer. Please refer to the fault section for
detailed operation of this mode.
As shown on Figure 26, the internal dynamics of the VCO
control voltage will be constrained between 0.5 V and 2.3 V,
whereas the feedback loop will drive Pin 6 (FB) between
1.1 V and 5.3 V. If we take the default FB pin excursion
numbers, 1.1 V = 50 kHz, 5.3 V = 500 kHz, then the VCO
maximum slope will be:

and
excursion on systems where the load range does not generate
a wide switching frequency excursion. Due to this option,
we will see how it becomes possible to observe the feedback
level and implement skip cycle at light loads. It is important
to note that the frequency evolution does not have a real
linear relationship with the feedback voltage. This is due to
the deadtime presence which stays constant as the switching
period changes.

ORing capability and optocoupler connection
configurations
If for any particular reason, there is a need for a frequency
variation linked to an event appearance (instead of abruptly
stopping pulses), then the FB pin lends itself very well to the
addition of other sweeping loops. Several diodes can easily
be used perform the job in case of reaction to a fault event
or to regulate on the output current (CC operation).

Figure 33. Thanks to the FB Configuration, Loop
ORing is Easy to Implement
The VCO configuration used in this IC also offers an easy
way to connect optocoupler (or pulldown bipolar) directly
to the Rt pin instead of FB pin (refer to Figures 34 and 35).
The optocoupler is then configured as “common emitter”
and the operating frequency is controlled by the current that
is taken out from the Rt pin – we have current controller
oscillator (CCO). If one uses this configuration it is needed
to maintain FB pin voltage between 0.3 V and 1 V otherwise
the FB fault will be detected. The FB pin can be still used for
open FB loop detection in some applications – to do so it is
needed to keep optcoupler emitter voltage higher then 0.3 V
for nominal load conditions. One needs to take R

Dead--Time Control
Deadtime control is an absolute necessity when the
half--bridge configuration comes to play. The deadtime
technique consists in inserting a period during which both
high and low side switches are off. Of course, the deadtime
amount differs depending on the switching frequency,hence
the ability to adjust it on this controller. The option ranges
between 100 ns and 2 ms. The deadtime is actually made by
controlling the oscillator discharge current. Figure 36
During the discharge time, the clock comparator is high and
invalidates the AND gates: both outputs are low. When the
comparator goes back to the low level, during the timing
capacitor Ct recharge time, A and B outputs are validated.
By connecting a resistor R
to ground, it creates a current

whose image serves to dischargethe Ct capacitor: we control
the dead--time. The typical range evolves between 100 ns

Soft-- Start Sequence
In resonant controllers, a soft--start is needed to avoid
suddenly applying the full current intothe resonating circuit.
Withthis controller the soft--start duration is fully adjustable
using eternal components. The purpose of the Soft--Start pin
is to discharge Soft--Start capacitor before IC restart and in
case of fault conditions detected by Fault input.
Once the controller starts operation, the Soft--Start
capacitor (refer to Figure 37) is fully discharged and thus it
starts charging from the Rt pin. The charging current
increases operating frequency of the controller above F
min
As the soft--start capacitor charges, the frequency smoothly
decreases down to F
. Of course, practically, the feedback
min
loop is supposed to take over the VCO lead as soon as the
output voltage has reached the target. If not, then the
minimum switching frequency is reached and a fault is
detected on the feedback pin (typically below 300 mV).
Figure 38 depicts a typical LLC startup using NCP1397A/B
controller.
Please note that the soft--start capacitor is discharged in the
following conditions:
-- A startup sequence
-- During auto--recovery burst mode
-- A brown--out recovery
-- A temperature shutdown recovery
The skip/disable input undergoes a special treatment.
Since we want to implement skip cycle using this input, we
cannot activate the soft--start every time the feedback pin
stops the operations in low power mode. Therefore, when
the skip/enable pin is released, no soft--start occurs to offer
the best skip cycle behavior. However, it is very possible to
combine skip cycle and true disable, e.g. via ORing diodes
driving Pin 8. In that case, if a signal maintains the
skip/disable input high long enough to bring the feedback
level down (below 0.3 V) since the output voltage starts to
fall down, then the soft--start discharge switch is activated.

Brown-- Out protection
The Brown--Out circuitry (BO) offers a way to protect the
resonant converter from low DC input voltages. Below a
given level, the controller blocks the output pulses, above it,
it authorizes them. The internal circuitry, depicted by
Figure 40, offers a way to observe the high--voltage (HV)
rail. A resistive divider made of R
upper
and R
lower
, brings a
portion of the HV rail on Pin 5. Below the turn--on level, the
28 mA current source IBO is off. Therefore, the turn--on
level solely depends on the division ratio brought by the
resistive divider.

Latchoff Protection
There are some situations where the converter shall be
fully turned--off and stay latched. This can happen in
presence of an overvoltage (the feedback loop is drifting) or
when anover temperature is detected. Thanks to the addition
of a comparator on the BO pin, a simple external circuit can
lift up this pin above V
disable pulses. The V
(4 V typical) and permanently
latch
needs to be cycled down below
CC
6.5 V typically to reset the controller.

On Figure 42, Q1 is blocked and does not bother the BO
measurement as long as the NTC and the optocoupler are not
activated. As soon as the secondary optocoupler senses an
OVP condition, or the NTC reacts to a high ambient
temperature, Q1 base is brought to ground and the BO pin
goes up, permanently latching off the controller.
Protection Circuitry
This resonant controller offers a dedicated input (Fault
input) to detect primary overcurrent conditions and protect
power stage from damage.
Once the voltage on the Fault input exceeds 1.04 V
threshold the external timer capacitor starts charging by
I
current. Simultaneously the Soft--Start discharge
timer1
switch is activated to shift operating frequency up to keep
primary current at acceptable level. In case the overload
disappears fast enough the Soft--Start discharge switch is
open, I
current turned--off and timer capacitor

overload lasts for more than timer duration (given by I
V
timer,Ctimer
until the C
and R
timer
) the IC stops the operation and waits
timer
will discharge to 1 V. The application then
restarts via Soft--Start.
In case of heavy overload, like transformer short circuit,
the primary current grows very fast and thus could reach
danger level prior the fault timer elapses. The NCP1397B
therefore features additional comparator (1.55 V) on the
Fault input to permanently latch the application and protect
against destruction. Figure 44 depicts the architecture of the
fault circuitry for NCP1397B controller.
The NCP1397A features second fault comparator as well
but in this case it doesn’t latches off the IC but speeds up the
Fault timer capacitor charging by turning on additional
current source I
– refer to Figure 43. The NCP1397A
timer2
can thus be used in applications that have to recover
automatically from any fault conditions.

On Figures 43 and 44 examples, a voltage proportional to
primary current, once averaged, gives an image of the input
power in case V

this pin will pass the 1 V threshold and start the timer. If the

R in parallel with the timer capacitor will give the flexibility

The Skip/Disable input is not affected by a delayed action.

off and maintained off as long as the fault is present. When
the pin is released, pulses come back and the soft--start is
