VIPer53EDIP - E / VIPer53ESP - ESecondary Feedback Configuration Examp le
5 Secondary Feedback Configuration Example
The secondary feedback is implemented through an optocoupler driven by a programmable
zener diode (TL431 type) as shown in Figure 3 on page 8
The optocoupler is connected in parallel with the compensation network on the COMP pin
which delivers a constant biasing current of 0.6mA to the optotransistor. This current does
not depend on the compensation voltage, and so it does not depend on the output load
either. Consequently, the gain of the optocoupler ensures a constant biasing of the TL431
device (U3), which is responsible for secondary regulation. If the optocoupler gain is
sufficiently low, no additio nal components are required to a minimum current biasing of U3.
Additionally, the low biasing current protects the optocoupler from premature failure.
The constant current biasing can be used to simplify the secondary circuit: instead of a
TL431, a simple zener and resistance network in series with the optocoupler diode can
insure a good secondary regulation. Current flowing in this branch remains constant just as
it does by using a TL431, so typical load regulation of 1% can be achieved from zero to full
output current with this simple configuration.
Since the dynamic characteristics of the converter are set on the secondary side through
components associated to U3, the compensation network has only a role of gain
stabilization for the optocoupler, and it s value can be freely chosen. R5 can be set to a fixed
value of 2.2kΩ, offering the possibility of using C7 as a soft start capacitor: When starting up
the converter, t he V IPer53E dev ice delivers a constant current of 0.6mA on the COMP pin,
creating a constant voltage of 1.3V in R5 and a rising slope across C7. This voltage shape,
together with the operating range of 0.5V to 4.5V provides a soft startup of the converter.
The rising speed of the output voltage can be set through the value of C7. The C4 and C6
values must be adjusted accordingly in order to ensure a correct startup.
DocRev19/31
Current Mode TopologyVIPer53EDIP - E / VIPer53ESP - E
6 Current Mode Topology
The VIPer53E implements the conventional current mode control method for regulating the
output voltage. This kind of feedback includes two nested regulation loops:
The inner loop controls the peak primary current cycle by cycle. When the Power MOSFET
output transistor is on, the inductor current (primary side of the transformer) is monitored
with a SenseFET technique and converted into a voltage. When V
S reaches V
power switch is turned off. This structure is completely integrated as shown on the Block
Diagram of Figure on page 1, with the current amplifier, t he PWM comparator, the blanking
time function and the PWM latch. The following formula gives the peak current in the Power
MOSFET according to the compensation voltage:
The outer loop defines the level at which the inner loop regulates peak current in the power
switch. For this purpose, V
is driven by the feedback network (TL431 through an
COMP
optocoupler in secondary feedback configuration, see Figure 3 on page 8) and is sets
accordingly the peak drain current fo r each switch i n g cycle.
As the inner loop regulates the peak primary current in the primary side of the transformer,
all input voltage changes are compensated for before impacting the output voltage. This
results in an improved line regulation, instantaneous correction to line changes, and better
stability for the voltage regulation loop.
COMP
, the
Current mode topology also provides a good converter start-up control. The compensation
voltage can be controlled to increase slowly during the start-up phase, so the peak primary
current will follow this soft voltage slope to provide a smooth output voltage rise, without any
overshoot. The simpler voltage mode structure whic h only controls the duty cycle, leads
generally to high current at start-up with the risk of transformer saturation.
An integrated blanking filter inhibits the PWM comparator output for a short time after the
integrated Power MOSFET is switched on. This function prevents anomalous or premature
termination of the switching pulse in the case of current spikes caused by primary side
transformer capacitance or secondary side rectifier reverse recovery time when working in
continuous mode.

VIPer53EDIP - E / VIPer53ESP - EStandby Mode
7 Standby Mode
The device offers a special feature to address the low load condition. The corresponding
function described hereafter consists of reducing the switching frequency by going into burst
mode, with the following benefits:
– It reduces the switching losses, thus providing low consumption on the mains lines.
The device is compliant with “Blue Angel” and other similar standards, requiring less
than 0.5 W of input power when in standby.
– It allows the regulation of the output voltage, even if the load corresponds to a duty
cycle that the device is not able to generate because of the internal blanking time,
and associated minimum turn on.
For this purpose, a comparator monitores the COMP pin voltage, and maintains the PWM
latch and the Power MOSFET in the Off state as long as V

the minimum turn on of the device, the V

value. Below 1.0V (V

), the blanking
time increases to 400ns, whereas for higher voltages, it is 150ns Figure 10 on page 22 The
minimum turn on times resulting from these values are respectively 600 ns and 350 ns,
when taking into account internal propagation time. This brutal change induces an
hysteresis between normal operation and burst mode as shown on Figure 10 on page 22
When the output power decreases, the system reaches point 2 where V

An integrated high voltage current source provides a bias current from the DRAIN pin during

to restart, thus delivering its full power capability to the output. In order to keep the whole
converter in a safe state during this event, D
must be kept as low as possible, without

Regulation Loop StabilityVIPer53EDIP - E / VIPer53ESP - E
10 Regulation Loop Stability
The complete converter open loop transfer function can be built from both power cell and
the feedback network transfer functions. A theoretical example can be seen in Figure 11 on
page 22 for a discontinuous mode flyback loaded by a simple resistor.
A typical schematic corresponding to this situation can be seen on Figure 3 on page 8. The
transfer function of the power cell is represented as G(s) in .Figure 11 on page 22 It exhibits
a pole which depends on the output load and on the output capacitor value. As the load of a
converter may change, two curves are shown for two different values of output resistance
value, R
capacitor ESR. Note: The overall transfer function does not depend on the input voltage
because of the current mode control. A typical regulation loop is shown on Figure 3 on
page 8 and has a fixed behavior represented by F(s) on Figure 11 on page 22. A double
zero due to the R
and R
The total transfer function is shown as F(s). G(s) at the bottom of Figure 11 on page 22. For
maximum load (plain line), the load pole begins exactly where the zeros of the COMP pin
and the TL431 stop, and this results in a first order decreasing slope until it reaches the zero
of the output capacitor ESR. The point where the complete transfer function has a unity gain
is known as the regulation bandwidth and has a double interest:

ensure good stability. Ge nerally, a first-order slope gives 90° of phase shift, and a
second-order gives 180°.
In Figure 3 on page 8, the unity gain is reached in a first order slope, so the stability is
ensured.
The dynamic load regulation is improved by increasing the regulation bandwidth, but some
limitations have to be respected:
1. As the transfer function above zero due the ESR capacitor is not reliable (the ESR itself
is not well specified, and other parasitic effects may take place), the bandwidth should
always be lower than the minimum of FC and ESR zero
2. As the highest bandwidth is obtained with the highest output power (plain line with RL2
load in Figure 3, the above criteria will be checked for this condition and allows the
value of R4 i f R1 is set to a fixed value (e.g., (2.2kΩ).
As the highest bandwidth is obtained with the highest output power (Plain line with R
L2
load
in Figure 3), the above criteria will be checked for this condition and allows to define the
value of R
, if R1 is set fixed (2.2kΩ, for instance). The following formula can be derived:
Go is the current transfer ratio of the optocoupler.

Special RecommendationsVIPer53EDIP - E / VIPer53ESP - E
11 Special Recommendations
10nF capacitor (minimum value: 8nF) should always be connected to the COMP pin to
ensure correct stability of the internal current source Figure 12 on page 22.
In order to improve the ruggedness of the device versus eventual drain overvoltages, a
resistance of 1kΩ should be inserted in series with the TOVL pin, as shown on Figure 12 on
page 22
Note:This resistance does not impact the overload delay, as its value is negligible prior to the
Ω
internal pull-up resistance (about 125k
).
