2.2 Soft-Start
Once V
CC
reaches V
VCC_on
(typically 18V), the device
will initiate a soft-start sequence. This is intended to
minimize the electrical stresses on Q1, D
OUT
, D
VCC
,
and the transformer. The soft-start operates as shown
in Figure 3. The duration of this soft-start is 12mS
nominal and steps V
CS
, the current sense voltage, to
four values, as shown.
Figure 3. Soft-Start
2.3 Normal Operation
Because the IX9908 employs quasi-resonant
operation, its PWM switch-on is set by the zero
crossing of the auxiliary winding voltage, and the
switch-off is set by the current sense voltage.
2.3.1 Zero Crossing & Switch-On Determination
As the application schematic on Page 1 shows, the
voltage from the auxiliary winding is connected to the
zero crossing pin, ZCV, through an RC network. This
network provides a delay so that switch-on can occur
at voltage valley thus enhancing efficiency. The
required time delay, t, should be approximately
one-fourth of the oscillation period (determined by
transformer primary inductor and drain-source
capacitance of Q1) minus the propagation delay from
zero-cross detect to Q1 switch-on, t
delay
.
This time delay, t, should be matched by adjusting
the RC network.
After Q1 is turned off, its V
DS
will show some
oscillation. This will also show on the ZCV input. To
avoid a mis-triggered Q1 turn-on, a ringing
suppression circuit is implemented. The suppression
time has two values that depend on the voltage at
ZCV. If V
ZCV
is greater than 0.7V, then the time is
2.5S nominal. If V
ZCV
is less than 0.7V, then the time
is 42S nominal. Turn-on of Q1 can not occur during
the suppression time, but does occur after a
zero-crossing is detected. In the case of a missed
zero-crossing, a maximum off-time is implemented.
After Q1 has been off for 42S nominal (t
offMax
), it is
turned back on.
2.3.2 Switch-Off Determination
In the application circuit, the primary current is sensed
by R
CS
. The voltage across this resistor, V
CS
, is
applied to the CS input of the device. It is processed
internally, and compared to the voltage at the VR pin,
which is a scaled version of the rectified line voltage.
When the following relation is true, the power switch,
Q1, is turned off.
Leading-edge blanking is used to prevent a false
trigger caused by the voltage spike across R
CS
at the
moment of Q1 turn-on. This blanking time, t
BLKCS
, is
nominally 330nS. To prevent transformer saturation, a
maximum on-time circuit is implemented. Max on-time
for Q1 (GD=H) is 30S nominal.

2.3.3 Foldback Point Correction
When the AC line voltage increases, the Q1 on-time
decreases, which increases the operating frequency.
As a result, with a constant primary current limit, the
output power increases. To provide output power
regulation with respect to line voltage, the internal
foldback point correction circuit varies the V
CS
limit.
The V
CS
limit is decreased in response to an increase
in AC line voltage. The relationship between V
CSMax
and V
IN
is shown in Figure 4.
Figure 4. V
CSMax
vs. V
IN
The variation in AC line voltage is sensed by way of
the auxiliary winding and an internal clamp and
current sense circuit. When Q1 is on, a negative
voltage proportional to the line voltage is coupled to
the auxiliary winding; the IC will hold the ZCV pin very
close to ground during this time. The line voltage is
thus sensed indirectly through the current in R
ZCV1
.
This current is given by:
The device uses I
ZCV
to vary the V
CS
limit as shown in
Figure 4. The actual implementation is digital and is
shown below:

2.3.4 Protection Functions
The IX9908 provides comprehensive protection
features. They are summarized in the table below:
OUTPUT OVER-VOLTAGE
During the Q1 off-time the auxiliary winding voltage
(V
AUX
) will swing positive and in proportion to the
secondary voltage. V
AUX
is connected to ZCV through
a resistor divider. If the voltage at ZCV exceeds a
preset threshold (V
ZCVOVP
) for longer than the blanking
time (t
ZCVOVP
), then the IC is latched off.
SHORTED WINDING
If the voltage at CS exceeds a preset threshold
(V
CSSW
) during Q1 on time the device is latched off.
OVER-TEMPERATURE
If the die temperature exceeds 140°C, then the device
will enter the Auto-Restart Mode.
V
CC
OVER-VOLTAGE / UNDER-VOLTAGE
The IC continuously monitors the V
CC
voltage. In case
of an over-voltage, Q1 is turned off (GD=L) and V
CC
will begin to fall. Once V
CC
goes below V
VCC_off
(10.5V
nominal), the startup circuit is activated, and begins to
charge C
VCC
. When V
CC
exceeds V
VCC_on
(18.0V
nominal), the device initiates a new soft-start. For an
under-voltage the operation is the same except that
the sequence begins with V
CC
< V
VCC_off
so GD=L and
the startup circuit is activated. This operation
describes the Auto-Restart Mode.
During Latch-Off Mode, V
CC
also cycles between
V
VCC_off
and V
VCC_on
, but GD remains low, and no
soft-start is initiated. The line voltage must be turned
off and on again to begin normal operation.
