LOW COST POWER-SAVING MODE PWM CONTROLLER FOR FLYBACK CONVERTERS

DESCRIPTION

The UTC USQ3860 provides a CCM/valley switching mixed

mode operation for better efficiency performance. The operation

mode stays at CCM at heavy load, and switch to valley switching at

light load.

The UTC USQ3860 is a high performance current mode PWM

controller ideally suited for low standby power. Drain-start up cell is

design to minimize the standby power to minimize the standby

power. At no load condition, the IC operates in power-saving mode

for lower standby power, decreasing frequency for Higher

conversion efficiency at light load condition.

The UTC USQ3860 contains protection with automatic recovery

including OLP (over load protection), OCP (cycle-by-cycle current

limiting), and UVLO (VDD over voltage clamp and under voltage

lockout). It also provides the protections including OTP (over

temperature protection), BNO(AC Brown Out protection) , LNO(AC

Over voltage protection), OVP (VCC or DC output over voltage

protection) with automatic recovery. To protect the power

MOSFET, Gate-drive output is fixed up to 16V max.

The internal slope compensation improves system stability at

high PWM duty cycle output. Leading-edge blanking on current

sense input removes the signal glitch, which offering minima

external component count in the design. Excellent EMI

performance is achieved with UTC proprietary frequency hopping

technique (ZL201020615247.1) together with soft driver control.

Audio noise is eliminated due to switch frequency more than 20kHz

during operation.

UTC USQ3860 is packaged by using tiny DIP-8 package. It has

such applications as: battery charger, power adaptor, set-top box

power suppl ies, ink jet pr inters, open-frame SMPS.
