Regulation Block and Low Output Voltage Detection
A trans−conductance error amplifier with access to the
inverting input and output is provided. It features a typical
trans−conductance gain of 200 mS and a typical capability
of ±20 mA. The output voltage of the PFC stage is typically
scaled down by a resistors divider and monitored by the
inverting input (feed−back pin – pin2). The bias current is
minimized (less than 500 nA) to allow the use of a high
impedance feed−back network. The output of the error
amplifier is pinned out for external loop compensation
(pin5). Typically a type−2 compensator is applied between
pin5 and ground, to set the regulation bandwidth below
20 Hz, as need in PFC applications (refer to application
note AND8407).
The swing of the error amplifier output is limited within
an accurate range:
• It is forced above a voltage drop (VF) by the “low
clamp” circuitry. When this circuitry is activated, the
power demand is minimum and the NCP1631 enters
skip mode (the controller stops pulsating) until the
clamp is no more active.
• It is clamped not to exceed 3.0 V + the same VF
voltage drop.
Hence, Vpin5 features a 3 V voltage swing. Vpin5 is then
offset down by (VF) and further divided before it connects
to the “Vton processing block” and the PWM section.
Finally, the output of the regulation is a signal (“VREGUL”
of the block diagram) that varies between 0 and 1.66 V.
