NCP1205
Single Ended PWM
Controller Featuring QR
Operation and Soft
Frequency Foldback
The NCP1205 combines a true Current Mode Control modulator
and a demagnetization detector to ensure full Discontinuous
Conduction Mode in any load/line conditions and minimum drain
voltage switching (Quasi–Resonant operation, also called critical
conduction operation). With its inherent Variable Frequency Mode
(VFM), the controller decreases its operating frequency at constant
peak current whenever the output power demand diminishes.
Associated with automatic multiple valley switching, this unique
architecture guarantees minimum switching losses and the lowest
power drawn from the mains when operating at no–load conditions.
Thus, the NCP1205 is optimal for applications targeting the newest
International Energy Agency (IEA) recommendations for standby
power.
The internal High–Voltage current source provides a reliable
charging path for the VCC capacitor and ensures a clean and short
start–up sequence without deteriorating the efficiency once off.
The continuous feedback signal monitoring implemented with an
Over–Current fault Protection circuitry (OCP) makes the final design
rugged and reliable. An internal Over Voltage Protection (OVP) circuit
continuously monitors the VCC pin and stops the IC whenever its level
exceeds 36 V. The DIP14 offers an adjustable version of the OVP
threshold via an external resistive network.
