Achieves high efficiency in RCC local resonance op­eration with zero-cross detection.

• Incorporating an input voltage compensation function available to a wide input range for worldwide use.

• This function compensates the maximum on-period in inverse proportion to the input voltage.

• Incorporating a timer latch function.

• The time period can be adjusted according to the overload in normal mode or standby mode.

• This function makes it possible to protect the IC from damage that may be caused by the short-circuiting of the IC's
external capacitor for the timer.

• Incorporating an overvoltage protection function. (detects at V

CC

pin)

• Incorporating a pulse-by-pulse overcurrent protection function, which makes latch protection possible at the time of

the short-circuiting of the transformer's primary winding.

• Adopting a 9-pin single inline package (E-9S: available to manufacturing in overseas).

• AN8027: Transformer resetting is detected from the high- or low-level signal on the TR pin.

• AN8037: Transformer resetting is detected from the falling edge of the high-level signal on the TR pin.

Refer to the "[1] operation descriptions 7. local resonance operation" section in the application notes.

1 TR I Transformer reset detection input. When the

IC detects transformer resetting and the fall­ing edge of a high-level signal is input to
this pin of the AN8037 or a low-level signal
is input to the same pin of the AN8027, the
level of the Out pin becomes high. However,
the transformer reset signal is ignored if the
signal is shorter than the minimum off-pe­riod determined by the CF pin. Also note
that the maximum on-period is corrected ac­cording to the source currents.

2 OCP  Connection for the resistor that determines

the overload level of the IC to activate the
timer latch protection circuit.
By judging the operating mode (i.e., the nor­mal or standby mode) of the IC from the
secondary side, the timer period is adjusted
with the selection of external resistance ac­cording to the operating mode.

3CF Connection for the capacitor that determines

the on- and off-periods of the IC output (Out).
The on- and off-periods are corrected by I
which is proportional to the flowing out cur­rent at the TR pin, and I

which corre-

6 Out O Output used to directly drive a power MOSFET.

A totem pole structure is adopted in this
output circuit.
The absolute maximum ratings for the output
current are:

Peak: ±1 A
DC: ±150 mA

7VCC Power supply.

This pin monitors supply voltage and has the
threshold for the start, stop, OVP, and OVP
reset levels.

8 SD I This pin is used in RM (remote), OVP (over-

voltage protection), and timer latch.
RM:
The IC is in remote operation if this pin is
short-circuited to the ground and the output
of the IC is turned off.
OVP:
When overvoltage signal of the power sup­ply is detected and high is inputted to the ter­minal, it turns off the internal circuit. At the
same time, it holds that condition (latch).
Timer latch:
It detects the output voltage fall due to the
overcurrent condition of the power supply
output through the current level inputted to
FB. When the I

decreases under the current

FB

of certain value, the charge current flows in
the capacitor which is connected to this ter­minal. Then, when the capacitor is charged
up to the threshold voltage of the OVP, the
OVP works so that the IC could keep the op­eration stop condition.

■ Application Notes

[1] Operation descriptions

1. Start/stop circuit block

• Startup mechanism

After the AC voltage is applied and the
supply voltage due to the current in the startup
resistor reaches the startup voltage and the IC
begins to operate, drive of the power MOSFET
begins. This causes a bias in the transformer, and
the supply voltage is provided to the IC from
the bias winding. (This is point a in figure 1.)
During the period between the point when the
startup voltage is reached, and the point when
the bias winding can generate a voltage enough
to supply the IC, the IC supply voltage is pro­vided by the capacitor (C8) connected to V
Since the supply voltage falls during this period
(area b in figure 1), if the supply voltage falls
below the IC stop-voltage before an adequate
supply voltage can be provided by the bias wind­ing, it will not be possible to start the power sup-

ply. (This is the state at point c in figure 1.)

• Functions

This IC includes a function that monitors the V

CC

voltage (14.9 V typical), and stops operation when the voltage falls below the stop voltage (8.6 V typical). Since
a large voltage difference (6.3 V typical) is taken between the start and stop voltages, it is easy to select values for
the start resistor and the capacitor connected to V

Note) To start up the IC operation, the startup current which is a pre-start current plus a circuit drive current is necessary.

Set the resistance value so as to supply a startup current of 400 µA.

.

2. Oscillation circuit

The oscillation circuit makes use of the charge and discharge of current to and from the capacitor C

connected

CF

to the CF pin (pin 3) to determine the switching timing of the power MOSFET.

The IC is in constant voltage control by changing the on-period of the power MOSFET without making off­period change while the IC is in normal (RCC continuous) operation mode. At that time, the on-period is con­trolled by directly changing the output pulse width of the oscillation circuit, and the maximum on-period can be
adjusted with input voltage compensation by detecting the input voltage with the flow of current from the TR pin
(TR source current). Refer to figure 2. When the IC is in standby mode (for light loads), the stable, efficient
control of the IC is ensured by detecting the flow of current from the FB pin (I

) and changing the off-period for

FB

a decrease in frequency. Refer to figure 3.

The following provides information on how to set on- and off-period.

• Setting the on-period

The output on-period is the discharge period when the CF pin is between the peak value oft V

(typical) and V

.
