DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION
Powered Device Interface
The PD interface portion of the NCP1080 supports the
IEEE802.3af defined operating modes: detection signature,
current source classification, inrush and operating current
limits. In order to give more flexibility to the user and also
to keep control of the power dissipation in the NCP1080,
both current limits are configurable. The device enters
operation once its programmable Vuvlo_on threshold is
reached, and operation ceases when the supplied voltage
falls below the Vuvlo_off threshold. Sufficient hysteresis
and Uvlo filter time are provided to avoid false power on/off
cycles due to transient voltage drops on the cable.
Detection
During the detection phase, the incremental equivalent
resistance seen by the PSE through the cable must be in the
IEEE802.3af standard specification range (23.75 kW to
26.25 kW) for a PSE voltage from 2.7 V to 10.1 V. In order
to compensate for the nonlinear effect of the diode bridge
and satisfy the specification at low PSE voltage, the
NCP1080 presents a suitable impedance in parallel with the
25.5 kW R
det
external resistor connected between VPORTP
and VPORTN. For some types of diodes (especially
Schottky diodes), it may be necessary to adjust this external
resistor.
When the Detection_Off level is detected (typically
11.5 V) on VPORTP, the NCP1080 turns on its internal
3.3 V regulator and biasing circuitry in anticipation of the
classification phase as the next step.
Classification
Once the PSE device has detected the PD device, the
classification process begins. In classification, the PD
regulates a constant current source that is set by the external
resistor RCLASS value on the CLASS pin. Figure 6 shows
the schematic overview of the classification block. The
current source is defined as:

Power Mode
When the classification handshake is completed, the
PSE and PD devices move into the operating mode.
Under Voltage Lock Out (UVLO)
The NCP1080 incorporates an under voltage lock out
(UVLO) circuit which monitors the input voltage and
determines when to apply power to the DCDC controller.
To use the default settings for UVLO (see Table 3), the pin
UVLO must be connected to VPORTN
1,2
. In this case the
signature resistor has to be placed directly between
VPORTP and VPORTN
1,2
, as shown in Figure 7.

To define the UVLO threshold externally, the UVLO pin
must be connected to the center of an external resistor
divider between VPORTP and VPORTN
1,2
as shown in
Figure 8. The series resistance value of the external resistors
must add to 25.5 kW and replaces the internal signature
resistor.

When using the external resistor divider, the NCP1080 has an external reference voltage hysteresis of 15% typical.
Inrush and Operational Current Limitations
The inrush current limit and the operational current limit are programmed individually by an external Rinrush and Rilim1
resistors respectively connected between INRUSH and VPORTN
1,2
, and between ILIM1 and VPORTN
1,2
as shown in
Figure 9.

VDDA1
When VPORT reaches the UVLO_on level, the Cpd
capacitor is charged with the INRUSH current (in order to
limit the internal power dissipation of the passswitch).
Once the Cpd capacitor is fully charged, the current limit
switches from the inrush current to the current limit level
(ilim1) as shown in Figure 10. This transition occurs when
both following conditions are satisfied:
1. The VDS of the passswitch is below the
Vds_pgood low level (1 V typical).
2. The passswitch is no longer in current limit
mode, meaning the gate of the passswitch is
“high” (above 2 V typical).
The operational current limit will stay selected as long as
Vds_pgood is true (meaning that RTNVPORTN
1,2
is
below the high level of Vds_pgood). This mechanism allows
a current level transition without any current spike in the
passswitch because the operational current limit (ilim1) is
enabled once the passswitch is not limiting the current
anymore, meaning that the Cpd capacitor is fully charged.
Thermal Shutdown
The NCP1080 includes thermal protection which shuts
down the device in case of high power dissipation. Once the
thermal shutdown (TSD) threshold is exceeded, following
blocks are turned off:
DCDC controller
Passswitch
VDDH and VDDL regulators
CLASS regulator
When the TSD error disappears and if the input line
voltage is still above the UVLO level, the NCP1080
automatically restarts with the current limit set in the inrush
state, the DCDC controller is disabled and the Css

(softstart capacitor) discharged. The DCDC controller
becomes operational as soon as RTNVPORTN
1,2
is below
the Vds_pgood threshold.
DCDC Converter Controller
The NCP1080 implements a current mode DCDC
converter controller which is illustrated in Figure 11.

Internal VDDH and VDDL Regulators and Gate Driver
An internal linear regulator steps down the VPORTP
voltage to a 9 V output on the VDDH pin. VDDH supplies
the internal gate driver circuit which drives the GATE pin
and the gate of the external power MOSFET. The NCP1080
gate driver supports an external MOSFET with high Vth and
high input gate capacitance. A second LDO regulator steps
down the VDDH voltage to a 3.3 V output on VDDL. VDDL
powers the analog circuitry of the DCDC controller.
In order to prevent uncontrolled operations, both regulators
include poweronreset (POR) detectors which prevent the
DCDC controller from operating when either VDDH or
VDDL is too low. In addition, an overvoltage lockout
(OVLO) on the VDDH supply disables the gate driver in case
of an openloop converter with a configuration using the bias
winding of the transformer (see Figure 4).
Both VDDH and VDDL regulators turn on as soon as
VPORT reaches the Vuvlo_on threshold.
Error Amplifier
In nonisolated converter topologies, the high gain
internal error amplifier of the NCP1080 and the internal
1.2 V reference voltage regulate the DCDC output voltage.
In this configuration, the feedback loop compensation
network should be inserted between the FB and COMP pins
as shown in Figures 3, 4 and 5.
In isolated topologies the error amplifier is not used
because it is already implemented externally with the shunt
regulator on the secondary side of the DCDC controller
(see Figure 2). Therefore the FB pin must be strapped to
ARTN and the output transistor of the optocoupler has to
be connected on the COMP pin where an internal 5 kW
pullup resistor is tied to the VDDL supply (see Figure 11).
SoftStart
The softstart function provided by the NCP1080 allows
the output voltage to ramp up in a controlled fashion,
eliminating output voltage overshoot. This function is
programmed by connecting a capacitor C
SS
between the SS
and ARTN pins.
While the DCDC controller is in POR, the capacitor C
SS
is fully discharged. After coming out of POR, an internal
current source of 5 mA typically starts charging the capacitor
C
SS
to initiate softstart. When the voltage on SS pin has
reached 0.45 V (typical), the gate driver is enabled and
DCDC operation starts with a duty cycle limit which
increases with the SS pin voltage. The softstart function is
finished when the SS pin voltage goes above 1.6 V for which
the duty cycle limit reaches its maximum value of 80%.
Softstart can be programmed by using the following
equation:
