Abstract

1 Abstract
This design guide describes how to design Quasi-Resonant flyback converter using
ICE5QSAG/ICE5QRxxxxAx which is the 5th generation of Quasi-Resonant PWM controller/CoolSET
developed by Infineon.

The IC is optimized for off-line switch power supply applications such as Home Appliances/White Goods,
TV, PC, Server, Blu-ray player, Set-top box and notebook adapter. The improved digital frequency
reduction with proprietary quasi-resonant operation offers lower EMI and higher efficiency for wide AC
range by reducing the switching frequency difference between low and high line. The enhanced active
burst mode power enables flexibility not only in standby power operation range selection but also Quasi-
Resonant switching even in burst mode. The product has a wide operating range (10~25.5 V) of IC
power supply and lower power consumption. The numerous protection functions including robust line
protection with input OVP and brownout give a full protection of the power supply system in failure
situations. All of these make the ICE5QSAG an outstanding controller for Quasi-Resonant flyback
converter in the market.

3 Overview of Quasi-Resonant flyback converter


Figure 2 and Figure 3 show a typical application of ICE5QSAG and ICE5QRxxxxAx in Quasi-Resonant
flyback converter. In this converter, the mains input voltage is rectified by the diode bridge and then
smoothed by the capacitor Cbus where the bus voltage Vbus is available. The transformer has one primary
winding W p, one or more secondary windings (W s1 and W s1), and one auxiliary winding W a. When Quasi-
Resonant control is used for the flyback converter, the typical waveforms are shown in Figure 4. The
voltage from the auxiliary winding provides information about demagnetization of the power transformer
and the output voltage.

As shown in Figure 4, after switch-on of the power switch the voltage across the shunt resistor RCS
shows a spike caused by the discharging of the drain-source capacitor. After the spike, the voltage VCS
shows information about the real current through the main inductance of the transformer Lp. Once the
measured current signal VCS exceeds the maximum value determined by the feedback voltage VFB, the
power switch is turned off. During this on-time, a negative voltage proportional to the input bus voltage is
generated across the auxiliary winding.

Overview of Quasi-Resonant flyback converter

The drain-source voltage of the power switch VDS will raise very fast after MOSFET is turned off. This is
caused by the energy stored in the leakage inductance of the transformer. A snubber circuit, RCD in
most cases, can be used to limit the maximum drain source voltage caused. After the oscillation 1, the
drain-source voltage goes to its steady value. Here, the voltage vR is the reflected value of the secondary
voltage at the primary side of the transformer and is calculated as:
( + ) (Eq 23)1
=

where, VR : reflected voltage

Vout : output voltage

VFOut: forward voltage of the secondary diode

NP : number of primary turns of the transformer

NS : number of secondary turns of the transformer

After the oscillation 1 is damped, the drain-source voltage of the power switch shows a constant value of
Vbus+VR until the transformer is fully demagnetized. This duration builds up the first portion of the off-time
toff1.

After the secondary side current falls to zero, the drains-source voltage of the power switch shows
another oscillation (oscillation 2 in Figure 4, this is also mentioned as the main oscillation in this
document). This oscillation happens in the circuit consisting of the equivalent main inductance of the
transformer Lp and the capacitor across the drain-source (or drain-ground) terminal CDS which includes
Co(er) of the MOSFET. The frequency of this oscillation is calculated as:
1 (Eq 109)
2 =
2

where, fOSC2 : oscillation 2 in Figure 4

LP : primary main inductance of the transformer

CDS : capacitance across drain to source/ground of the power switch

The amplitude of this oscillation begins with a value of vR and decreases exponentially with the elapsing
time, which is determined by the losses factor of the resonant circuit. The first minimum of the drain
voltage appears at the half of the oscillation period after the time t4 and can be approximated as:

_ = (Eq 110)
In the Quasi-Resonant control, the power switch is switched on at the minimum of the drain-source
voltage. From this kind of operation, the switching-on losses are minimized, and switching noise due to
dVDS/dt is reduced compared to a normal hard-switching flyback converter.

4.1 VCC pre-charging and typical VCC voltage during start up
When AC line input voltage is applied as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3, a rectified voltage appears
across the capacitor Cbus. The pull up resistor RSTARTUP provides a current to charge the Ciss (input
capacitance) of power switch and gradually generate one voltage level. If the voltage over Ciss is high
enough, power switch on and VCC capacitor will be charged through primary inductance of transformer
LP, power switch and internal diode with two steps constant current source IVCC_ Charge11 and IVCC_ Charge31.
A very small constant current source (IVCC_Charge1) is charged to the VCC capacitor till VCC reach VCC_SCP to
protect the controller from VCC pin short to ground during the startup. After this, the second step
constant current source (IVCC_Charge3) is provided to charge the VCC capacitor further, until the VCC voltage
exceeds the turned-on threshold VVCC_ON. As shown in the time phase I in Figure 5, the VCC voltage
increase almost linearly with two steps.
Note: Recommended typical value for RSTARTUP is 50 M (20 M~100 M), RSTARTUP value is
directly proportional to tStartUp and inversely proportional to no load standby power

Functional description and component design

When the VCC voltage exceeds the VCC turned on threshold VVCC_ON at time t1, the IC begins to operate
with soft start. Due to power consumption of the IC and the fact that there is still no energy from the
auxiliary winding to charge the VCC capacitor before the output voltage is built up, the VCC voltage drops
(Phase II). Once the output voltage is high enough, the VCC capacitor receives the energy from the
auxiliary winding from the time t2 onward and delivering the IVCC_ Normal1 to the controller. The VCC then will
reach a constant value depending on output load.

4.1.1 VCC capacitor


Since there is a VCC under voltage protection, the capacitance of the VCC capacitor should be selected
to be high enough to ensure that enough energy is stored in the VCC capacitor so that the VCC voltage
will never touch the VCC under voltage protection threshold VVCC_OFF before the output voltage is built up.
Therefore, the minimum capacitance should fulfil the following requirement:

where, IVCC_Charge3 : VCC charge current 3

tss : Soft start time

4.2 Soft-start
After the supply voltage of IC is higher than 16 V, which corresponding to t1 of Figure 5, IC will start
switch with a soft-start. The soft-start function is built inside the IC in a digital manner. During soft-start,
the peak current of the power switch is controlled by an internal voltage reference instead of the voltage
on FB pin. The maximum voltage on CS pin for peak current control is increased step by step as shown
in Figure 6. The maximum duration of soft start is 12 ms with 3 ms for each step. During soft-start, the
over load protection function is disabled.

4.3 Normal operation


During normal operation, the IC consists of a digital signal processing circuit including an up/down
counter, a zero-crossing counter (ZC counter) and a comparator, and an analog circuit including a

current measurement unit and a comparator. The switch-on and -off time points are each determined by
the digital circuit and the analog circuit, respectively. As input information for the switch-on
determination, the zero-crossing input signal and the value of the up/down counter are needed, while the
feedback signal VFB and the current sensing signal VCS are necessary for the switch-off determination.
Details about the full operation of the controller in normal operation are illustrated in the following
paragraphs.

4.3.1 Digital Frequency Reduction


As mentioned above, the digital signal processing circuit consists of an up/down counter, a ZC counter
and a comparator. These three parts are the key to implement digital frequency reduction with
decreasing load. In addition, a ringing suppression time controller is implemented to avoid mis-triggering
by the high frequency oscillation, when the output voltage is very low under conditions such as soft start
period or output short circuit. Functionality of these parts is described as in the following.

4.3.1.1 Minimum ZC Count Determination


To reduce the switching frequency difference between low and high line, minimum ZC count
determination is implemented. Minimum ZC count is set to 1 if VIN less than VIN_REF which represents for
low line. For high line, minimum ZC count is set to 3 after VIN higher than VIN_REF. There is also a
hysteresis VIN_REF with certain blanking time tVIN_REF for stable AC line selection between low and high.

4.3.1.2 Up/down counter


The up/down counter stores the number of the zero crossing where the main power switch is switched
on after demagnetization of the transformer. This value is fixed according to the feedback voltage, VFB,
which contains information about the output power. Indeed, in a typical peak current mode control, a high
output power results in a high feedback voltage, and a low output power leads to a low regulation
voltage. Hence, according to VFB, the value in the up/down counter is changed to vary the power
MOSFET off-time according to the output power. In the following, the variation of the up/down counter
value according to the feedback voltage is explained.
The feedback voltage VFB is internally compared with three threshold voltages VFB_LHC, VFB_HLC and VFB_R
at each clock period of 48 ms. The up/down counter counts then upward, keep unchanged or count
downward, as shown in Table 1.
Table 1 Operation of up/down counter
VFB up/down counter action
Always lower than VFB_LHC Count upwards till n=8/101
Once higher than VF_LHC, but always lower than VFB,HLC Stop counting, no value changing
Once higher than VFB_HLC, but always lower than VFB_R Count downwards till n=1/32
Once higher than VFB_R Set up/down counter to n=1/32
The number of zero crossing is limited and therefore, the counter varies among 1 to 8 (for low line) 3 to
10 (for high line) and any attempt beyond this range is ignored. When VFB exceeds VFB_R voltage, the
up/down counter is reset to 1 (low line) and 3 (high line) in order to allow the system to react rapidly to a
sudden load increase. The up/down counter value is also reset to 1 (low line) and 3 (high line) at the
start-up time, to ensure an efficient maximum load start up. Figure 7 shows some examples on how
up/down counter is changed according to the feedback voltage over time.

The use of two different thresholds VFB_LHC and VFB_HLC to count upward or downward is to prevent
frequency jittering when the feedback voltage is close to the threshold point.

4.3.1.3 Switch on determination


After the gate drive goes to low, it cannot be changed to high during ring suppression time.
After ring suppression time, the gate drive can be turned on when the ZC counter value is higher or
equal to up/down counter value.
However, it is also possible that the oscillation between primary inductor and drain-source capacitor
damps very fast and IC cannot detect enough zero crossings and ZC counter value will not be high
enough to turn on the gate drive. In this case, a maximum off time is implemented. After gate drive has
been remained off for the period of TOffMax, the gate drive will be turned on again regardless of the
counter values and VZCD. This function can effectively prevent the switching frequency from going lower
than 20 kHz. Otherwise it will cause audible noise during start up.

4.3.2 Switch off determination


In the converter system, the primary current is sensed by an external shunt resistor, which is connected
between source terminal of the internal low side MOSFET and the common ground. The sensed voltage
across the shunt resistor VCS is applied to an internal current measurement unit, and its output voltage V1
is compared with the regulation voltage VFB. Once the voltage V1 exceeds the voltage VFB, the output flip-
flop is reset. As a result, the main power switch is switched off. The relationship between the V1 and the
VCS is described by:
1 = + (Eq 111A)

where, V1 : output voltage of comparator


GPWM : PWM output gain
VCS : voltage across the current sense resistor
VPWM : Offset for Voltage Ramp
To avoid mis-triggering caused by the voltage spike across the shunt resistor at the turn on of the main
power switch, a leading edge blanking time, tLEB, is applied to the output of the comparator. In other
words, once the gate drive is turned on, the minimum on time of the gate drive is the leading edge
blanking time.

In addition, there is a maximum on time, tOnMax, limitation implemented in the IC. Once the gate drive has
been in high state longer than the maximum ON time, it will be turned off to prevent the switching
frequency from going too low because of long on time.

4.4 Active Burst Mode with selectable power level


At light load condition, the IC enters Active Burst Mode operation to minimize the power consumption.
Details about Active Burst Mode operation are explained in the following paragraphs.
The burst mode entry level can be selected by changing the different resistor RSel at FB pin. There are 2
levels to be selected with different resistor which are targeted for lower range of active burst mode power
(Level 1) and higher range of active burst mode power (Level 2). The following table shows the control
logic for the entry and exit level with the FB voltage.

Table 2 Two levels entry and exit active burst mode power
Level RSel VFB VCS Entry level Exit level
VFB_EBLX VFB_LB
1 Open VFB > VREF_B VCS_BL1 = 0.31 V 0.90 V 2.75 V
2 580 k~670 k VFB < VREF_B VCS_BL2 = 0.35 V 1.05 V 2.75 V
During IC first startup, the RefGOOD signal is logic low when VCC < 4 V. The low RefGOOD signal will reset
the Burst Mode level Detection latch. When the Burst Mode Level Detection latch is low and IC is in OFF
state, the FB resistor is isolated from the FB pin and a current source Isel is turned on instead.
From VCC = 4 V to Vcc on threshold, the FB pin will start to charge to a voltage level associated with RSel
resistor. When VCC reaches Vcc on threshold, the FB voltage is sensed. The burst mode thresholds are
then chosen according to the FB voltage level. The Burst Mode Level Detection latch is then set to high.
Once the detection latch is set high, any change of the FB level will not change the threshold level.
When Vcc reaches VCC on threshold, a timer of 2 s is started. After the 2 s timer ends, the current
source is turned off while the FB resistor is connected to FB pin (see Figure 8).

4.4.1 Entering Active Burst Mode Operation


For determination of entering Active Burst Mode operation, three conditions apply:
the feedback voltage is lower than the threshold of VFB_EBLX
the up/down counter is 8 for low line and 10 for high line and
a certain blanking time tFB_BEB (20 ms).
Once all of these conditions are fulfilled, the Active Burst Mode flip-flop is set and the IC enters Active
Burst Mode operation. This multi-condition determination for entering Active Burst Mode operation

prevents mis-triggering of entering Active Burst Mode operation, so that the controller enters Active Burst
Mode operation only when the output power is really low during the preset blanking time.

4.4.2 During Active Burst Mode Operation


After entering the Active Burst Mode the feedback voltage rises as VOUT starts to decrease due to the
inactive PWM section. One comparator observes the feedback signal if the voltage level VFB_BOn is
exceeded. In that case the internal circuit is again activated by the internal bias to start with switching.
Turn-on of the power switch is triggered by ZC counter with a fixed value of 8 ZC for low line and 10 ZC
for high line. Turn-off is resulted if the voltage across the shunt resistor at CS pin hits the threshold
VCS_BL1/ VCS_BL2.
If the output load is still low, the feedback signal decreases as the PWM section is operating. When
feedback signal reaches the low threshold VFB_BOff , the internal bias is reset again and the PWM section
is disabled until next time regulation signal increases beyond the VFB_BOn threshold. In Active Burst Mode,
the feedback signal is changing like a saw tooth between VFB_BOff and VFB_BOn (see Figure 9).

4.4.3 Leaving Active Burst Mode Operation


The feedback voltage immediately increases if there is a high load jump. This is observed by a
comparator. As the current limit is 31% (Level 1) and 35% (Level 2) during Active Burst Mode, a certain
load is needed so that feedback voltage can exceed VFB_LB. After leaving active burst mode, maximum
current can now be provided to stabilize output voltage. In addition, the up/down counter will be set to 1
(low line) or 3 (high line) immediately after leaving Active Burst Mode. This is helpful to reduce the output
voltage undershoot.

4.5 Current sense


The PWM comparator inside the IC has two inputs: one from current sense pin and the other from
feedback voltage. Before being sent to the PWM comparator, there is an offset and operational gain on

current sense voltage. In normal operation, the relationship between feedback voltage and maximum
current sense voltage is determined by equation 10.
= + (Eq 111B)
where, VFB : feedback voltage
VCS : voltage across the current sense resistor
GPWM : PWM output gain
VPWM : Offset for Voltage Ramp
The absolute maximum current sense voltage, VCS is 1 V. Therefore, the current sense resistor can be chosen
according to the maximum required peak current in the transformer as shown in equation 11.
_ (Eq 21)1
=

where, RSense : current sense resistor
VCS_N : peak current limitation in normal operation (1 V)
IPMax : peak current of primary inductance
In addition, a leading edge blanking (LEB) is already built inside the current sense pin. The typical value
of leading edge blanking time is 220 ns, which can be thought as a minimum on time.
Note: In case of higher switch-on noise at CS Pin, IC may switch off immediately after LEB time
especially at light load high line condition. To avoid this, noise filtering ceramic capacitor C112
(e.g., 100 pF~100 nF, see Figure 12) can be added.

4.6 Feedback
Inside the IC, the feedback (FB) pin is connected to the (VREF) 3.3 V voltage source through a pull-up
resistor RFB. Outside the IC, this pin is connected to the collector of opto-coupler. Normally, a ceramic
capacitor CFB, 1nF for example, can be put between this pin and ground for smoothing the signal.
Feedback voltage will be used for a few functions as following:
It determines the maximum current sense voltage, equivalent to the transformer peak current.
It determines the ZC counter value according to load condition
Regulation loop with single feedback calculation is explained in the section 8.13. For dual output system
with dual feedback control can be calculated as below.

{e.g., W 1 has a weight of 60% (0.6) and W 2 has a weight of 40% (0.4)}

4.7 Zero crossing detection


The circuit components connected to zero crossing (ZCD) pin include resistors RZC, RZCD and capacitor
CZC. The values of three components shall be chosen so that the three functions combined to this pin will
perform as designed.
At first, the ratio between RZC and RZCD is chosen first to set the trigger level of output overvoltage
protection. Assuming the protection level of output voltage is VOut_OVP, the turns of auxiliary winding is NA
and the turns of secondary output winding is NS, the ratio is calculated as:

< __ (Eq 113)
+ _

where, RZCD : internal resistor at ZCD pin


RZC : external resistor at ZCD pin
RZCD_OVP_Min : minimum voltage of output Over Voltage threshold
NS : number of secondary turns of the transformer
NA : number of auxiliary turns of the transformer
VOut_OVP : user defined output over voltage threshold
Secondly, as shown in Figure 4, there are two delay times for detection of the zero crossing and turn on
of the power switch. The delay time tdelay1 is the delay from the drain-source voltage cross the bus
voltage to the ZCD voltage follows below VZCD_CT_Typ (100 mV). This delay time can be adjusted through
changing CZC. The second one, tdelay2, is the delay time from ZC voltage follows below 100 mV to the
MOSFET is turned on. This second delay time is determined by IC internal circuit and cannot be
changed. Therefore, the capacitance CZC is chosen to adjust the delay time tdelay1 and power switch is
turned on at the valley point of drain-source voltage. This is normally done through experiment.
In addition, as shown in Figure 4, an overshoot is possible on ZCD voltages when power switch is turned
off. This is because of the oscillation 1 on drain voltage, shown in Figure 4 may be coupled to the
auxiliary winding. Therefore, the capacitance CZC and ratio can be adjusted to obtain the tradeoff
between the output over voltage protection accuracy and the valley switching performance.
If, however, the amplitude of the ring at the ZCD pin is too small and the zero crossing cannot be
detected, it is advised to increase the drian_source capacitor, CDS of the power switch. But this capacitor
would incur switching loss, the value is suggested to be as small as possible; best to be <100 pF.
Furthermore, to avoid mis-triggering of ZCD detection just after power switch is turned off, a ring
suppression time is provided. The ring suppression time is 2.5 s typically if VZCD is higher than 0.45 V
and it is 25 s typically if VZCD is lower than 0.45 V. During the ring suppression time, IC cannot be
turned on again. Therefore, the ring suppression time can also be thought as a minimum off time.

4.8 Gate drive (ICE5QSAG only)


Inside Gate pin, a totem-drive circuit is integrated. The gate drive voltage is 10 V, which is enough for
most of the available MOSFET. In case of a 1nF load capacitance, the typical values of rise time and fall
time are117 ns and 27 ns respectively. In practice, a gate resistor can be used to adjust the turn-on
speed of the MOSFET. In addition, to accelerate the turn off speed, the gate resistor can be anti-

paralleled with an ultrafast diode like 1N4148. To avoid the oscillation during turn-off of the MOSFET, it
is suggested that the loop area of the driver, through gate resistor and MOSFET gate, source and back
to IC ground should be as small as possible.
Note: Gate to Source discharge resistor of the power switch Q1 (see Figure 2) is not allowed to
add in ICE5QSAG as GATE pin is connected to the ZCD pin internally via RZCD. (with Gate to
Source discharge resistor, IC cannot start up at all due to due to Q1 GATE is shorted to SOURCE
and VGS (Gate threshold voltage of Q1)cannot rise up during first start up.

4.9 Line Over Voltage, brownout and Line selection


The input line over voltage and brownout protections are detected by sensing the voltage level at VIN pin
through the resistors divider from the bulk capacitor. Once the voltage level at VIN pin hits above 2.9V,
the IC stops switching and enters into line OVP mode. When the VIN pin voltage lower than 2.9 V and
the Vcc hits 16V, the line OVP mode is released.

If the VIN pin voltage is lower than 0.4 V, the IC stop switching and enters into brownout mode and it
only releases brownout mode when VIN pin voltage higher than 0.66 V. Note that there is no power
switch (see Figure 2/Figure 3) switching but it always detect VIN level in every restart cycle during line
OVP or brownout mode. The input line sensing resistors (see Figure 2/Figure 3) RI1 and RI2 can be
calculated as below.

4.10 Protection features


Protection is one of the major factors to determine whether the system is safe and robust. Therefore
sufficient protection is necessary. ICE5QSAG and ICE5QRxxxxAx provide a comprehensive protection
to ensure the system is operating safely. The protections include Line Over Voltage, Brownout, VCC
Over Voltage and Under Voltage, Over Load, Output Over Voltage, Over Temperature (Controller
Junction), CS Short to GND and VCC Short to GND. When those faults are found, the system will go into
the protection mode. It is then until the fault is removed, the system resumes to normal operation. A list
of protections and the failure conditions are shown in the below table.

4.11 Others
For quasi-resonant flyback converter, it is possible that the operation frequency goes too low, which
normally resulted in audible noise. To prevent it in the IC, a maximum ON time and OFF time are
provided.

The maximum ON time is 35 s typically. If the gate is maintained ON for 35 s, IC will turn off the gate
regardless of the current sense voltage.

When the power switch is OFF and IC cannot detect enough number of ZC to turn on, IC will wait till the
maximum off time, 42.5 s typically, is reached, then only turn on the power switch. Please note that
even a non-zero ZCD pin voltage cannot prevent IC from turning on the power switch. Therefore, during
soft-start, a CCM operation of the converter is expected.

For the transformer design, it is recommend to design minimum switching frequency (at minimum line
with maximum load) should be greater than or equal to 40 kHz. The maximum switching frequency
should not be higher than 200 kHz in any line and load condition due to Leading Edge Blanking time and
minimum ringing suppression time.

PCB layout recommendation

6 PCB layout recommendation


In power supply system, PCB layout is a key point for a successful design. Following are some
suggestions for this (see Figure 11 and Figure 12).
1. Minimize the loop with pulse share current or voltage; examples are the loop formed by the bus
voltage source, primary winding, main power switch (Q11 (see Figure 11) in controller and
CoolSET power switch CoolMOS is inside IC) and current sensing resistor or the loop
consisting of secondary winding, output diode and output capacitor, or the loop of VCC power
supply.
2. Star ground at bulk capacitor C13: all primary grounds should be connected to the ground of bulk
capacitor C13 separately in one point. It can reduce the switching noise going into the sensitive pins
of CoolSET device effectively. The primary star ground can be split into four groups as follows,
i. Combine Signal (all small signal grounds connecting to the CoolSET GND pin such as
filter capacitor ground C17, C18, C19, C111, C112 and opto-coupler ground) and Power
ground (Current Sense resistor R14 and R14A).
ii. VCC ground includes the VCC capacitor ground C16 and the auxiliary winding ground, pin
2 of the power transformer.
iii. EMI return ground includes Y capacitor C12.
iv. DC ground from bridge rectifier, BR1
3. Filter capacitor close to the controller ground: Filter capacitors, C17, C18, C19, C111 and C112
should be placed as close to the controller ground and the controller pin as possible so as to reduce
the switching noise coupled into the controller.
4. High voltage traces clearance: High voltage traces should keep enough spacing to the nearby
traces. Otherwise, arcing would incur.
i. 400 V traces (positive rail of bulk capacitor C13) to nearby trace: > 2.0 mm
ii. 700/800 V traces {drain pin of power switch (Q11 (see Figure 11) in controller and drain
pin of CoolSET IC11 (see Figure 12)} to nearby trace: > 3 mm
5. Recommended minimum 232mm2 copper area at drain pin to add on PCB for better thermal
performance for CoolSET.

For calculating the clamping network, it is necessary


to know the leakage inductance. The most common
approach is to have the Leakage Inductance value
given in a percentage of the Primary Inductance.
If it is known that the transformer construction is very
consistent, measuring the Primary Leakage
Inductance by shorting the Secondary Windings will
give an exact number (assuming the availability of a
good LCR analyser)

8.8 Output Capacitors (C22, C23,


C24):
Output Capacitors are highly stressed in Flyback
converters. Normally, capacitors are chosen based on
3 major parameters: Capacitance, Low ESR and
Ripple Current Rating.
To calculate Output Capacitors, the Max. Voltage
Overshoot in case of switching off at Max. load
condition must be set.
Max. Voltage Overshoot: VOUT 0.5 V

about 1020 internal clock periods to reduce the

The VCC Capacitor needs to ensure the power
supply of the IC until the power can be provided by
the VCC Winding.

In order to have sufficient phase margin at low load
condition, we choose the Zero Frequency of the
compensation network to be at the middle between
the min. and max. load poles of the power stage.

With adjustment of the transfer characteristics of the


regulator, we want to reach equal gain within the
operating range and to compensate the pole fo of the
power stage FPWR()
Because of the compensation of the output
capacitor's zero (Eq 53), we neglect it as well as the
LC-Filter pole (Eq 56). Consequently, the transfer
characteristic of the power stage is reduced to a
single-pole response.
In order to calculate the gain of the open loop, we
have to choose the crossover frequency.
We calculate the gain of the Power stage with Max.
Output Power at the chosen crossover frequency.

Transient Impedance defines the direct relationship
between the level of the Peak Current and the
Feedback pin voltage. It is required for the calculation
of the power stage amplification.
