together with the sense comparator initiates a new cycle when FB passes the skip level.
Demagnetization Detection
The core reset detection is done by monitoring the
voltage activity on the auxiliary winding. This voltage
features a FLYBACK polarity. The typical detection level
is fixed at 50 mV as exemplified by Figure 21.

An internal timer prevents any restart within 8.0 ms
further to the driver going−low transition for NCP1377,
and 3.0 ms for NCP1377B. This prevents the switching
frequency to exceed (1.0/TON + Tblank) but also avoid false

leakage inductance kick is so energetic, that a slight
filtering is necessary.
