4 Operations
4.1 Rectangular U-I output characteristics
Figure 4. Rectangular U-I output characteristics for battery charger
A complete regulation scheme can achieve combined and accurate output characteristics.
Figure 4. presents a secondary feedback through an optocoupler driven by a TSM101. This
device offers two operational amplifiers and a voltage reference, thus allowing the regulation
of both output voltage and current. An integrated OR function performs the combination of
the two resulting error signals, leading to a dual voltage and current limitation, known as a
rectangular output characteristic. This type of power supply is especially useful for battery
chargers where the output is mainly used in current mode, in order to deliver a defined
charging rate. The accurate voltage regulation is also convenient for Li-ion batteries which
require both modes of operation.

4.2 Wide range of V
DD
voltage
The V
DD
pin voltage range extends from 9 V to 38 V. This feature offers a great flexibility in
design to achieve various behaviors. In
Figure 4 on page 7 a forward configuration has been
chosen to supply the device with two benefits:
As soon as the device starts switching, it immediately receives some energy from the
auxiliary winding. C5 can be therefore reduced and a small ceramic chip (100 nF) is
sufficient to insure the filtering function. The total start up time from the switch on of
input voltage to output voltage presence is dramatically decreased.
The output current characteristic can be maintained even with very low or zero output
voltage. Since the TSM101 is also supplied in forward mode, it keeps the current
regulation up whatever the output voltage is.The V
DD
pin voltage may vary as much as
the input voltage, that is to say with a ratio of about 4 for a wide range application.
4.3 Feedback pin principle of operation
A feedback pin controls the operation of the device. Unlike conventional PWM control
circuits which use a voltage input (the inverted input of an operational amplifier), the FB pin
is sensitive to current. Figure 5. presents the internal current mode structure.

The Power MOSFET delivers a sense current I
s
which is proportional to the main current Id.
R2 receives this current and the current coming from the FB pin. The voltage across R2 is
then compared to a fixed reference voltage of about 0.23 V. The MOSFET is switched off
when the following equation is reached:
By extracting I
S
:
Using the current sense ratio of the MOSFET G
ID
:
The current limitation is obtained with the FB pin shorted to ground (V
FB
= 0 V). This leads
to a negative current sourced by this pin, and expressed by:
By reporting this expression in the previous one, it is possible to obtain the drain current
limitation I
Dlim
:
In a real application, the FB pin is driven with an optocoupler as shown on Figure 5. which
acts as a pull up. So, it is not possible to really short this pin to ground and the above drain
current value is not achievable. Nevertheless, the capacitor C is averaging the voltage on
the FB pin, and when the optocoupler is off (start up or short circuit), it can be assumed that
the corresponding voltage is very close to 0 V.
For low drain currents, the formula (1) is valid as long as IFB satisfies I
FB
< I
FBsd
, where
I
FBsd
is an internal threshold of the VIPer22A. If I
FB
exceeds this threshold the device will
stop switching. This is represented on
Figure 12 on page 14, and I
FBsd
value is specified in the
PWM COMPARATOR SECTION. Actually, as soon as the drain current is about 12 % of
Idlim, that is to say 85 mA, the device will enter a burst mode operation by missing switching
cycles. This is especially important when the converter is lightly loaded.
