GreenChip SMPS control IC
At high output power the converter operates in quasi-resonant mode. The next converter
cycle starts after demagnetization of the transformer and detection of the valley. In
quasi-resonant mode switching losses are minimized because the external MOSFET is
switched on while the drain-source voltage is minimal.
To prevent high-frequency operation at lower loads, the quasi-resonant operation
switches to Discontinuous Conduction Mode (DCM) operation with valley skipping once
the frequency reaches its maximum. This frequency limit reduces the MOSFET switch-on
losses and conducted EMI.
At medium power levels, the controller enters Frequency Reduction (FR) mode. A Voltage
Controlled Oscillator (VCO) controls the frequency. The minimum frequency in this mode
is reduced to 25 kHz. During FR mode, the primary peak current is kept at an adjustable
minimum level to maintain high efficiency. Valley switching is also active in this mode.
At low power, the converter enters the burst mode. In burst mode, the minimum switching
frequency is 25 kHz.
7.3 Supply management
All internal reference voltages are derived from a temperature compensated on-chip band
gap circuit. Internal reference currents are derived from a trimmed and
temperature-compensated current reference circuit.

7.4 Mains voltage measuring
In a typical application, the mains input voltage is measured using the HV pin.
Once per ms the mains voltage is measured by pulling down the HV pin to ground and
measuring its current. This current then reflects the input voltage.
The system determines if the mains voltage exceeds the brownin level or it is
disconnected using an analog-to-digital converter and digital control (see Figure 1
).
Once the mains is above the brownin level, the system is allowed to start switching
(see Figure 6
).
If the mains voltage is continuously below the brownout level for a period of at least
30 ms, a brownout is detected and the system immediately stops switching. This period is
required to avoid that the system stops switching due to the zero crossings of the mains or
during a short mains interruption.
When the mains voltage is measured by pulling the HV pin to ground, the digital control
calculates if there is a positive dV/dt at the mains. A positive dV/dt implies that a mains is
connected.
Once a mains is detected, the measuring of the mains input voltage is stopped for a
period of 6 ms to improve efficiency. In burst mode this waiting period is enlarged to 97 ms
to improve efficiency.
A positive dV/dt is measured when succeeding samples cross the brownin level (I
bi(HV)
) or
the mains high level (I
IH(HV)
; see Figure 7).

GreenChip SMPS control IC
If the system does not detect a positive dV/dt for 28 ms, it assumes that the mains is
disconnected. In that case the HV pin is continuously pulled to ground, discharging the
external X-capacitor.
7.5 Auxiliary winding
The VCC pin is connected via a diode and a capacitor to the auxiliary winding to efficiently
supply the control IC.
To detect demagnetization, valley, and input and output voltage, the auxiliary winding is
connected to the AUX pin via a resistive divider (see Figure 3
). Each switching cycle is
divided in sections. During each section the system knows if the voltage or current out of
the AUX pin reflects the demagnetization, valley, input or output voltage (see Figure 8
).
When the external MOSFET is switched on, the voltage at the auxiliary winding reflects
the input voltage. The AUX pin is clamped to 0.7 V. The output current is a measure of
the input voltage. This current value is internally used for an accurate OPP.
The demagnetization, valley and output voltages are measured as a voltage on the AUX
pin. In this way, the input voltage measurement and OVP can be adjusted independently.
7.6 Protection
If a protection is triggered, the controller stops switching. Depending on the protection
triggered and the IC version, the protection causes a restart or latches the converter to an
off state (See Table 3
).
To avoid false triggering, some protections have a built-in delay.
