DESCRIPTION
(continued)
Converter's power capability variations with the mains voltage are compensated by line voltage feedforward.
At light load the device features a special function that automatically lowers the operating frequency still maintaining the operation as close to ZVS as possible. In addition to very low start-up and quiescent currents, this
feature helps keep low the consumption from the mains at light load and be Blue Angel and Energy Star compliant.
The IC includes also a disable function, an on-chip filter on current sense, an error amplifier with a precise reference voltage for primary regulation and an effective two-level overcurrent protection.

PIN DESCRIPTION
N° Name Function
1 INV Inverting input of the error amplifier. The informatio n on the output voltage is fed into the pin
through either a res istor divider (primary reg ulation) or an optocoupler (second ary feedback).
This pin can be grounded in some secondary feedback schemes (see pin 2).
2 COMP Output of the error amplifie r. Typically, a compensat ion network is placed between this pin and
the INV pin to a chieve stability and good dy namic per forman ce o f the voltage con trol lo op. With
secondar y feedback, the pin can be also driven directly by an optocoupler to control PWM by
modulating the current sunk from the pin (with the INV pin grounded).
3 VFF Line voltage feedforward. The information on the converter’s input voltage is fed into the pin
through a resistor divider and is used to change the setpoint of the pulse-by-pulse current
limitation (the higher the voltage, the lower the setpoint). If this function is not desired the pin will
be grounded and the current limitation setpoint will be maximum.
4 CS Input to the P WM comparator. The primar y current is sense d through a resistor, the result ing
voltage is applied to this pin and co mpared with an inter nal reference to determ ine MOSFET’s
turn-off. The inter nal reference is clamped at a value, which defines the pulse-by-pulse current
limitation setpo int, d epen ding on th e voltage at p in VF F. If the sig nal a t the pin C S exceeds 2 V,
the gate driver will be disabled (Hiccup-mode OCP).
5 ZCD Transformer’s demagnetization sensing input for Quasi-Resonant operation. Alternately,
synchronizatio n input for an external signal. A nega tive-going edge triggers MO SFET’s turn- on.
The trigger cir cuit is blanked for a minimum of 3 .5 µs after MO SFET tur n-off, for safe operation
under short circuit conditions and frequency foldback. If the pin is grounded the IC will be
disabled.
6 GND Ground. Current return for both the signal part of the IC and the gate driver.
7 GD Gate d river output. Th e totem pole output stag e is able to d rive power MOSFET ’s and IGBT’s
with a peak current of 400 mA (source and sink).
8 Vcc Supply Voltage of both the signal part of the IC and the gate driver. An electrolytic capacitor is
connected b etween this pin an d ground. A resist or connected from this pin to the converter’s
input bulk capacitor will be typically used to start up the device.
