NCP1337P Integrated Circuit Chip PWM Current−Mode Controller for Free Running Quasi−Resonant Operation

PWM Current−Mode Controller for Free Running Quasi−Resonant Operation

The NCP1337 combines a true current mode modulator and a demagnetization detector which ensures full Borderline/Critical Conduction Mode in any load/line conditions together with minimum drain voltage switching (Quasi−Resonant operation). The transformer core reset detection is done internally, without using any external signal, due to the Soxyless concept. The frequency is internally limited to 130 kHz, preventing the controller to operate above the 150 kHz CISPR−22 EMI starting limit.

By monitoring the feedback pin activity, the controller enters ripple mode as soon as the power demand falls below a predetermined level. As each restart is softened by an internal soft−start, and as the frequency cannot go below 25 kHz, no audible noise can be heard.

The NCP1337 also features an efficient protective circuitry which, in presence of an overcurrent condition, disables the output pulses and enters a safe burst mode, trying to restart. Once the default has gone, the device auto−recovers. Also included is a bulk voltage monitoring function (known as brown−out protection), an adjustable overpower compensation, and a VCC OVP. Finally, an internal 4.0 ms soft−start eliminates the traditional startup stress.

MAXIMUM RATINGS

Maximum ratings are those values beyond which device damage can occur. Maximum ratings applied to the device are individual stress limit values (not normal operating conditions) and are not valid simultaneously. If these limits are exceeded, device functional operation is not implied, damage may occur and reliability may be affected.

1. This device contains latchup protection and exceeds 100 mA per JEDEC standard JESD78.
