NCP1237_11 Datasheet, PDF (1/41 Pages) ON Semiconductor – Fixed Frequency Current Mode Controller for Flyback Converters
NCP1237
Fixed Frequency Current
Mode Controller for Flyback
Converters
The NCP1237 is a new generation of the NCP12xx fixed−frequency
current−mode controllers featuring Dynamic Self−Supply (DSS),
pin−to−pin compatible with the previous generation.
The DSS function greatly simplifies the design of the auxiliary supply
and the VCC capacitor by activating the internal startup current source to
supply the controller during transients.
Due to its proprietary Soft−Skip™ mode combined with frequency
foldback, the controller exhibits excellent efficiency in light load
condition while still achieving very low standby power consumption.
This Soft−Skip feature also dramatically reduces the risk of acoustic
noise, which enables the use of inexpensive transformers and
capacitors in the clamping network.
The NCP1237 features a dual−level timer−based fault detection that
controls the amount of transient peak power that the controller can
deliver for a limited time.
Internal frequency jittering, ramp compensation, and a versatile
latch input make this controller an excellent candidate for converters
where ruggedness and components cost are the key constraints.
In addition, the controller includes a new high voltage circuitry that
combines a startup current source and a brown−out / line OVP detector
able to sense the input voltage either from the rectified ac line or the dc
filtered bulk voltage.
Finally, due to a careful design, the precision of critical parameters
is well controlled over the entire temperature range (−40°C to
+125°C), enabling easier design and increased safety (e.g. ±5% for the
peak current limit, ±7% for the oscillator).
