Suppose you would need to reduce the peak current by
15% in high−line conditions. The turn−ratio between the
auxiliary winding and the primary winding is Naux. Assume
its value is 0.15. Thus, the voltage on Daux cathode swings
negative during the on time to a level of:
Vaux_peak + −Vin_max Naux + −375 0.15 + −56 V
(eq. 7)
If we selected a 3.7 kW resistor for Roffset, then the
maximum sense voltage being developed is:
Vsense + 3.7 k 270 m + 1 V
(eq. 8)
The small RC network made of R1 and C3, purposely limits
the voltage excursion on D2 anode. Assume the primary
inductance value gives an on time of 3 μs at high−line. The
voltage across C3 thus swings down to:

Typically, we measured around –4 V on our 50 W prototype.
By calculation, we want to decrease the peak current by
15%. Compared to the internal 270 mA source, we need to
derive:
Ioffset + −0.15 270 m + −40.5 mA
(eq. 10)
Thus, from the –4 V excursion, the ROPP resistor is
derived by:

After experimental measurements, the resistor was
normalized down to 100 kW.
Feedback
Unlike other controllers, the feedback in the NCP1351
works in current rather than voltage. Figure 13 details the
internal circuitry of this particular section. The optocoupler
injects a current into the FB pin in relationship with the
input/output conditions.
