When the SENSE voltage across the sense resistor, R
S
,
reaches the threshold voltage, around 0.85V, the output
GATE drive is turned off after delay t
PD
. This delay
introduces additional current, proportional to t
PD
V
IN
/ L
P
.
The delay is nearly constant regardless of the input voltage
V
IN
. Higher input voltage results in larger additional
current and the output power limit is higher than under low
input line voltage. To compensate this variation for a wide
AC input range, a sawtooth power-limiter (saw limiter) is
designed to solve the unequal power-limit problem. The
saw
limiter is designed as a positive ramp signal (V
limit_ramp
)
and fed to the inverting input of the OCP comparator. This
results in a lower current limit at high-line inputs than at
low-line inputs.
V
DD
Over-Voltage Clamping
V
DD
over-voltage clamping has been built in to prevent
damage due to abnormal conditions. Once the V
DD
voltage is over the V
DD
over-voltage clamping voltage
(V
DD-CLAMP
) and lasts for t
D-VDDCLAMP
, the PWM pulses are
disabled until the V
DD
voltage drops below the V
DD
over-voltage clamping voltage.
Thermal Protection
An NTC thermistor R
NTC
in series with a resistor R
A
can
be connected from pin RT to ground. A constant current
I
RT
is output from pin RT. The voltage on the RT pin can
be expressed as V
RT
= I
RT
× (R
NTC
+ R
A
), in which I
RT
= 2
x (1.3V / R
I
). At high ambient temperature, R
NTC
is
smaller, such that V
RT
decreases. When V
RT
is less than
0.62V, the PWM is completely turned off.
Limited Power Control
The FB voltage increases every time the output of the
power supply is shorted or over loaded. If the FB voltage
remains higher than a built-in threshold longer than t
D-OLP
,
PWM output is turned off. As PWM output is turned off,
the supply voltage V
DD
begins decreasing.
When V
DD
goes below the turn-off threshold (e.g., 10V)
the controller is totally shut down. V
DD
is charged up to
the turn-on threshold voltage of 16V through the start-up
resistor until PWM output is restarted. This protection
feature remains activated as long as the over-loading
condition persists. This prevents the power supply from
overheating due to over loading conditions.
Noise Immunity
Noise on the current sense or control signal may cause
significant pulse width jitter, particularly in the
continuous-conduction mode. Slope compensation helps
alleviate this problem. Good placement and layout
practices should be followed. Avoiding long PCB traces
and component leads, locating compensation and filter
components near to the SG5841/J, and increasing the
power MOS gate resistance improves performance.
