OPERATION DESCRIPTION
The patented topology of SGP100 enables simplified
circuit design for battery charger applications. Without
secondary feedback circuitry, the CV and CC control can
be achieved accurately. As shown in Figure 2, with the
frequency-hopping PWM operation, EMI problem can be
solved using minimized filter components. SGP100 also
provides many protection functions. The VDD pin is
equipped with over-voltage protection and under-voltage
lockout. Pulse-by-pulse current limiting and CC control
ensure over-current protection at heavy loads. The GATE
output is clamped at 18V to protect the external MOSFET
from
over-voltage
damage.

Start-up Current
The start-up current is only 10μA. Low start-up current
allows a start-up resistor with high resistance and
low-wattage to supply the start-up power for the
controller. A 1.5M

0.25W start-up resistor and a

AC-to-DC power adapter with a wide input range (90V

).
Operating Current
The operating current has been reduced to 6.5mA. The
low operating current results in higher efficiency and
reduces the V

hold-up capacitance requirement.
Green-Mode Operation
Figure 3 shows the characteristics of the PWM frequency
vs. the output voltage of the error amplifier (

). The
SGP100 uses the positive, proportional, output load
parameter (

COMV
) as an indication of the output load for
modulating the PWM frequency. In heavy load conditions,
the PWM frequency is fixed at 42KHz. Once

decrease from 42KHz to 500Hz (0.55V), providing
further power savings and meeting international power
conservation requirements.

Constant Voltage (CV) and
Constant Current (CC) Operation
An innovative technique of the SGP100 can accurately
achieve CV/CC characteristic output without secondary
side voltage or current-feedback circuitry. There is a
feedback signal for CV/CC operation from the reflected
voltage across the primary auxiliary winding. This
voltage signal is proportional to secondary winding, so it
provides controller the feedback signal from secondary
side

constant-current output, this voltage signal is detected and
examined by the precise constant current regulation
controller, which determines the on-time of the MOSFET
to control input power and provide constant-current
output. With feedback voltage V
