Also provides a charging current during start up thanks to a high voltage current source connected to the drain. For this purpose, an hysteresis comparator monitors the VDD voltage and provides two thresholds: - VDDon: Voltage value (typically 14.5 V) at which the device starts switching and turns off the start up current source. - VDDoff: Voltage value (typically 8 V) at which the device stops switching and turns on the start up current source.

Also used by the internal high voltage current source during start up phase for charging the external VDD capacitor. FB Feedback input. The useful voltage range extends from 0 V to 1 V, and defines the peak drain MOSFET current. The current limitation, which corresponds to the maximum drain current, is obtained for a FB pin shorted to the SOURCE pin. Doc ID 11977 Rev 2 VIPER12A-E 4 Rectangular U-I output characteristics 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. Doc ID 11977 Rev 2 7/21 Wide range of VDD voltage 5 VIPER12A-E Wide range of VDD voltage The VDD 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: 8/21 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 VDD 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. Doc ID 11977 Rev 2 VIPER12A-E 6 Feedback pin principle of operation 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. Figure 5. Internal current control structure The power MOSFET delivers a sense current Is 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: R 2 ( I S + I FB ) = 0.23V By extracting IS: 0.23V I S = ---------------- - I FB R2 Using the current sense ratio of the MOSFET GID: I D = G ID I S = G ID 0.23V ---------------- - I FB R 2 Doc ID 11977 Rev 2 9/21 Feedback pin principle of operation VIPER12A-E The current limitation is obtained with the FB pin shorted to ground (VFB = 0 V). This leads to a negative current sourced by this pin, and expressed by: I FB = - 0.23V ---------------R1 By reporting this expression in the previous one, it is possible to obtain the drain current limitation IDlim: 1 1 I Dlim = G ID 0.23V ------- + ------- R2 R1 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 IFB < IFBsd, where IFBsd is an internal threshold of the VIPER12A. If IFB exceeds this threshold the device will stop switching. This is represented on Figure 12 on page 14, and IFBsd value is specified in the PWM COMPARATOR SECTION. Actually, as soon as the drain current is about 12 % of Idlim, that is to say 50 mA, the device will enter a burst mode operation by missing switching cycles. This is especially important when the converter is lightly loaded. Figure 6. IFB transfer function It is then possible to build the total DC transfer function between ID and IFB as shown on Figure 6 on page 10. This figure also takes into account the internal blanking time and its associated minimum turn on time. This imposes a minimum drain current under which the device is no more able to control it in a linear way. This drain current depends on the primary inductance value of the transformer and the input voltage. Two cases may occur, depending on the value of this current versus the fixed 50 mA value, as described above. 10/21 Doc ID 11977 Rev 2 VIPER12A-E 7 Startup sequence Startup sequence Figure 7. Startup sequence This device includes a high voltage start up current source connected on the drain of the device. As soon as a voltage is applied on the input of the converter, this start up current source is activated as long as VDD is lower than VDDon. When reaching VDDon, the start up current source is switched off and the device begins to operate by turning on and off its main power MOSFET. As the FB pin does not receive any current from the optocoupler, the device operates at full current capacity and the output voltage rises until reaching the regulation point where the secondary loop begins to send a current in the optocoupler. At this point, the converter enters a regulated operation where the FB pin receives the amount of current needed to deliver the right power on secondary side. This sequence is shown in Figure 7. Note that during the real starting phase tss, the device consumes some energy from the VDD capacitor, waiting for the auxiliary winding to provide a continuous supply. If the value of this capacitor is too low, the start up phase is terminated before receiving any energy from the auxiliary winding and the converter never starts up. This is illustrated also in the same figure in dashed lines. Doc ID 11977 Rev 2 11/21 Overvoltage threshold 8 VIPER12A-E Overvoltage threshold An overvoltage detector on the VDD pin allows the VIPER12A to reset itself when VDD exceeds VDDovp. This is illustrated in Figure 8., which shows the whole sequence of an overvoltage event. Note that this event is only latched for the time needed by VDD to reach VDDoff, and then the device resumes normal operation automatically. Figure 8.
