NCP1398B/c http://onsemi.com 12 application information the ncp1398 includes all necessary features to help building a rugged and safe switch ? mode power supply. the below bullets detail the benefits brought by implementing the ncp1398 controller: ? wide frequency range : a high ? speed voltage control oscillator allows an output frequency excursion from 50 khz up to 750 khz on mlower and mupper outputs. ? user adjustable dead ? time : controller provides possibility to adjust optimum dead ? time based on application parameters. the dead ? time is modulated from this adjusted value with operating frequency i.e. dead ? time period is reducing when frequency goes up. ? adjustable soft ? start : every time the controller starts to operate (power on), the switching frequency is pushed to the programmed starting value that is defined by external components connected to rt pin. frequency then slowly moves down toward the minimum frequency, until the feedback loop closes. the rt pin discharges the soft start capacitor before any ic restart except the restart from skip mode. ? adjustable minimum and maximum frequency excursion : due to a single external resistor, the designer can program lowest frequency point, obtained in lack of feedback voltage (at the end of the startup sequence or under overload conditions). internally trimmed capacitors offer a 3% precision on the selection of the minimum switching frequency. the adjustable upper frequency clam being less precise to 6%. ? 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 start ? up sequence with soft ? start, ensuring that the pfc is stabilized before energizing the resonant tank. the bo input features an 8.5 a hysteresis current to assure the lowest consumption from the sensed bulk voltage input. ? adjustable fault timer : when a fault is detected on the olp input or when the fb path is broken, ctimer pin starts to charge an external capacitor. if the fault is removed, the timer opens charging path and supply continues in operation without any interruption. when the timer reaches its selected duration (via a capacitor on pin 2), all pulses are stopped. the controller now waits for the discharge via an external resistor on pin 2 to issue a new clean startup sequence via soft ? start. ? cumulative fault events : in the ncp1398, 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. ? overload protection : the overload input (olp) is specifically designed to protect llc application during overload or short circuit conditions. in case the voltage on this input grows above first olp threshold, the itimer current source is activated and fault timer is initiated. the discharge pin is activated in the same time to increase operating frequency of the converter and thus to limit primary current. the second olp threshold is implemented to stop the drivers fully in case of critical fail. the controller then latches off permanently until v cc goes below vcc_reset. ? skip cycle possibility : the ncp1398 features skip cycle mode operation with adjustable hysteresis to allow output regulation under light load or no ? load conditions while keeping high efficiency. ? open feedback loop detection ? NCP1398B only : upon start-up or anytime during operation, when the fb signal is missing, the fault 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 re-start, via the soft-start. if the optocoupler is permanently broken, a hiccup takes place.

NCP1398B/c http://onsemi.com 17 figure 34. a typical start ? up sequence on a llc converter using ncp1398 brown ? out protection the resonant tank of an llc converter is always designed for specific input voltage range. operation below minimum designed bulk voltage level would result in current overstress of converter primary power stage. the ncp1398 offers brown ? out input (bo) that allows for precise bulk voltage turn ? on and turn ? off levels adjustment. the internal circuitry, depicted by figure 35, offers a way to observe the high ? voltage (vbulk) rail. a high ? impedance resistive divider made of rupper and rlower, brings a portion of the vbulk rail to bo pin. the current sink (ibo) is active below the vbulk turn ? on level. therefore, the turn ? on level is higher than the one given by the division ratio of resistive divider. to the contrary, when the internal bo_ok signal is high, i.e. application is running, the ibo sink is disabled. the vbulk turn ? off level is thus given by bo comparator reference voltage and resistor divider ratio only. advantage of this solution is that the vbulk turn ? off level reaches minimum error. this error is given only by vbo reference and resistor divider precisions and is not affected by ibo hysteresis current tolerance. the ncp1398 thus allows better resonant tank optimization. figure 35. the internal brown ? out input configuration ? + bo_ok + vbo bo rlower rupper vbulk ibo 20 s lter uvlo

NCP1398B/c http://onsemi.com 20 figure 38. olp to discharge pin transfer characteristic 3. the third overload protection is activated in case the olp pin voltage exceeds 1.5 v threshold. this can happen during secondary side short circuit event or in case the adjusted frequency shift is not sufficient to limit primary current or the ocp network on rt pin fails (like open soft start pin event). the ic then stops operation after 1 s delay to overcome excessive overloading of the power stage components. both controller version i.e. NCP1398B and also ncp1398c latch fully off and keep the latched state until the v cc drops down below v cc reset level. figure 39. overload protection input connection ncp1398c ? fault timer is not activated when fb fault is present
NCP1398B/c http://onsemi.com 21 figure 40. overload protection input connection NCP1398B fault timer the ncp1398 implements fault timer with fully adjustable fault and auto ? recovery periods ? refer to figure 40 in olp section. external capacitor ct is used in combination with internal current source and voltage comparator to implement this function. once the fault condition occurs the ctimer pin sources current (itimer) which charges ct capacitor. the fault is confirmed and drivers are disabled once the ctimer pin voltage exceeds vtimer_off threshold. the itimer current source is then disabled and ct capacitor discharges via parallel resistor rt. controller places new try for restart (featuring soft start) once the ctimer pin voltage drops below vtimer_on threshold. controller will work in hiccup mode, repeating fault and auto ? recovery sequences, if the fault condition remains present in the application (overload conditions or secondary side short circuit). the fault timer is from the principle of operation a cumulative type of timer i.e. the ctimer pin voltage integrates if there are multiple faults coming during short time period ? refer to figure 41. the fault timer can be initiated by several fault sources: 1 st ? when feedback voltage drops below vfb_fault threshold. this could happen when the fb loop is opened i.e. during secondary regulator or optocoupler fail or open fb pin events. note that the fault timer is not activated by fb fault detection circuitry for ncp1398c version. 2 nd ? when the olp input voltage exceeds v ref_fault_ocp threshold. this situation happens during overload. the fault timer is activated on both ic versions in this case.
