LD7750E
Application Information
Operation Overview
As green power requirement becomes a trend and the
power saving gets more and more important for the
switching power supplies and switching adaptors, the
traditional PWM controllers are not able to support such
new requirements. Furthermore, the cost and size
limitations force PWM controllers to be more powerful by
integrating more functions and, thus, reducing the
external part count. LD7750E is designed for such
application to provide an easy and cost effective solution.
Its detailed features are described as below.
Internal High-Voltage Startup Circuit and
Under Voltage Lockout (UVLO)
The traditional circuit powers on the PWM controller
through a startup resistor to constantly provide current
from a rectified voltage to the capacitor connected to Vcc
pin. Nevertheless, this startup resistor was usually of
larger resistance, and it therefore consumed more power
and required longer time to start up.
To achieve an optimized topology, as shown in Fig. 13,
The LD7750E is built in with high voltage startup circuit to
optimize the power saving. During the startup sequence, a
high-voltage current source sinks current from CBULK
capacitor to provide the startup current as well as to
charge the Vcc capacitor C1. During the initialization of
the startup, Vcc voltage is below UVLO(off) threshold thus
the current source is on to supply a current of 1mA.
Meanwhile, as the Vcc current consumed by the LD7750E
is only 320μA thus most of the HV current is left to charge
the Vcc capacitor. With using such configuration, the
turn-on delay time will be almost the same no matter what
operation condition is under low-line or high-line.
Fig. 13
When Vcc voltage reaches UVLO(on) threshold, the
LD7750E is powered on to start issuing the gate drive
signal, disable the high-voltage current source, and the
Vcc supply current will be only provided from the auxiliary
winding of the transformer. Therefore, the power loss for
the startup circuit after the startup period can be
eliminated and the power saving can be easily achieved.
In general application, a 39KΩ resistor is still
recommended to be placed in high voltage path to limit
the current if there is a negative voltage applying in any
case.
An UVLO comparator is included to detect the voltage of
the VCC pin to ensure the supply voltage is high enough to
power on the LD7750E PWM controller and in addition to
drive the power MOSFET as well. As shown in Fig. 14, a
Hysteresis is provided to prevent the shutdown caused by
the voltage dip during startup. The turn-on and turn-off
threshold levels are set at 16V and 10.0V, respectively.
