Highly Integrated Green-Mode PWM Controller
Product Specification
SG6742
VDD Over-Voltage Protection
VDD over-voltage protection has been built in to prevent
damage due to abnormal conditions. Once the VDD
voltage is over the over-voltage protection voltage
(VDD-OVP) and lasts for tD-VDDOVP, the PWM pulses are be
disabled until the VDD voltage drops below the UVLO,
then start-up again. Over-voltage conditions are usually
caused by open feedback loops.
Thermal Protection
An NTC thermistor RNTC in series with a resistor RA can
be connected from pin RT to ground. A constant current
IRT is output from pin RT. The voltage on RT pin can be
expressed as VRT = IRT × (RNTC + Ra), in which IRT = 2 x
(1.3V / RI). At high ambient temperature, RNTC is smaller,
such that VRT decreases. When VRT is less than 1.05V
(VRTTH1), the PWM is turned off after 12ms (tD-OTP1). If
VRT is less than 0.7V (VRTTH2), PWM should be turned off
immediately after 100µs (tD-OTP2).
Limited Power Control
The FB voltage increases every time the output of the
power supply is shorted or over-loaded. If the FB voltage
remains higher than a built-in threshold for longer than
tD-OLP, PWM output is turned off. As PWM output is
turned off, the supply voltage VDD begins decreasing.
When VDD goes below the turn-off threshold (eg, 10.5V)
the controller is totally shut down. VDD is charged up to
the turn-on threshold voltage of 16V through the start-up
resistor until PWM output is restarted. This protection
feature is activated as long as the over-loading condition
persists. This prevents the power supply from overheating
due to over loading conditions.
Noise Immunity
Noise on the current sense or control signal may cause
significant pulse width jitter, particularly in
continuous-conduction mode. Slope compensation helps
alleviate this problem. Good placement and layout
practices should be followed. Avoiding long PCB traces
and component leads, locating compensation and filter
components near the SG6742, and increasing the power
MOS gate resistance improves performance.
