• Setting the on-period (continued)
TON : On-period
CCF : Value of a capacitor connected to CF pin
VFB : Voltage internally converted from feedback signal IFB
VH-CF : CF upper limit voltage
ION : On-period discharge current
ITR : Flowing current at TR pin
EIN : Voltage on primary winding
NB : Number of turns in the bias winding
NP : Number of turns in the primary winding
VZ : Voltage on Zener diode connected to bias winding
RTR : Value of a resistor connected to the TR pin
The power MOSFET is turned off if the voltage at the CLM pin reaches the pulse-by-pulse overcurrent
protection threshold voltage (i.e., −200 mV typical) when the overcurrent protection function of the IC is
operating.
TON is shortened
because large EIN
increases ITR.

Figure 2. On-period block diagram and control waveform
The maximum on-period can be used for overcurrent protection.
When the input voltage is low, the maximum on-period overcurrent protection is possible.
When the input voltage is high, the CLM pulse-by-pulse overcurrent protection is possible.
