NCP1399 Series
High Performance Current
Mode Resonant Controller
with Integrated High-
Voltage Drivers
www.onsemi.com
The NCP1399 is a high performance current mode controller for half
bridge resonant converters. This controller implements 600 V gate
drivers, simplifying layout and reducing external component count. The
built−in Brown−Out input function eases implementation of the
controller in all applications. In applications where a PFC front stage is
needed, the NCP1399 features a dedicated output to drive the PFC
controller. This feature together with dedicated skip mode technique
further improves light load efficiency of the whole application. The
NCP1399 provides a suite of protection features allowing safe operation
in any application. This includes: overload protection, over−current
protection to prevent hard switching cycles, brown−out detection, open
optocoupler detection, automatic dead−time adjust, overvoltage (OVP)
and overtemperature (OTP) protections.

Active ON Off−mode Control – NCP1399B Device
Family
SKIP/REM Input and Off−mode Control
The NCP1399 implements an ultra−low power
consumption mode of operation called off−mode. The
application output voltage is cycled between the nominal
and lower levels that are defined by the secondary side
off−mode controller (like NCP435x secondary off−mode
controller). The output voltage is thus not regulated to
nominal level but is always kept at a high enough voltage
level to provide bias for the necessary circuits in the target
application – for example this could be the case of
microcontroller with very low consumption that handles
VCC management in a notebook or TV. The no−load input
power consumption could be significantly reduced when
using described technique. The NCP1399 implements two
different off−mode control system approaches:
The NCP1399B device family uses a SKIP/REM pin only
for off−mode operation control– i.e. the pin is internally
connected to the Active ON off−mode control block and the
skip mode threshold level is not adjustable externally. The
skip mode comparator threshold can be adjusted only
internally (by IC option) in this package option. The
SKIP/REM pin when used for off−mode control allows the
user to activate the ultra−low consumption mode during
which the IC consumption is reduced to only very low HV
pin leakage current (I ) and very low VCC pin

ON−time Modulation and Feedback Loop Block
Frequency modulation of today’s commercially available
resonant mode controllers is based on the output voltage
regulator feedback only. The feedback voltage (or current)
of output regulator drives voltage (or current) controlled
oscillator (VCO or CCO) in the controller. This method
presents three main disadvantages:
design ≥ need for an adjustment pin(s).
3. Dedicated overload protection system, requiring
an additional pin, is needed to assure application
safety during overload and/or secondary short
circuit events.
The NCP1399 resolves all disadvantages mentioned
above by implementing a current mode control scheme that
ensures best transient response performance and provides
inherent cycle−by−cycle over−current protection feature in
the same time. The current mode control principle used in
this device can be seen in Figure 43.
nd
1. The 2 order pole is present in small signal
gain−phase characteristics ≥ the lower cross over
frequency and worse transient response is imposed
by the system when voltage mode control is used.
There is no direct link to the actual primary current
– i.e. no line feed forward mechanism which
results in poor line transient response.
Figure 43. Internal Connection of the NCP1399 Current Mode Control Scheme
The basic principle of current mode control scheme
implementation lies in the use of an ON−time comparator
that defines upper switch on−time by comparing voltage
ramp, derived from the current sense input voltage, to the
divided feedback pin voltage. The upper switch on−time is
then re−used for low side switch conduction period. The
switching frequency is thus defined by the actual primary
current and output load conditions. Digital processing with
10 ns minimum on−time resolution is implemented to
ensure high noise immunity. The ON−time comparator
is divided down by capacitive divider (Ccs1, Ccs2, Rcs1,
Rcs2) before it is provided to the CS input. The capacitive
divider division ratio, which is fully externally adjustable,
defines the maximum primary current level that is reached
in case of maximum feedback voltage – i.e. the capacitive
divider division ration defines the maximum output power
of the converter for given bulk voltage. The CS is a bipolar
input pin which an input voltage swing is restricted to 5 V.
A fixed voltage offset is internally added to the CS pin signal
in order to assure enough voltage margin for operation the
feedback optocoupler − the FB optocoupler saturation voltage
is ~ 0.15 V (depending on type). However, the CS pin useful
signal for frequency modulation swings from 0 V, so current
mode regulation would not work under light load conditions
if no offset would be added to the CS pin before it is stabilized
to the level of the on−time comparator input. The CS pin
signal is also used for secondary side short circuit detection

The second input signal for the on−time comparator is
passes through the FB processing block before it is brought
to the ON−time comparator input. The FB processing block
derived from the FB pin voltage. This internal FB pin signal
is also used for the following purposes: skip mode operation
detection, PFC MODE control, off−mode detection (in
NCP1399A device family) and overload / open FB pin fault
detection. The detailed description of these functions can be
found in each dedicated chapters. The internal pull−up
resistor assures that the FB pin voltage increases when the
optocoupler LED becomes less biased – i.e. when output
load is increased. The higher FB pin voltage implies a higher
reference level for on−time comparator i.e. longer Mupper
switch on−time and thus also higher output power. The FB
pin features a precise voltage clamp which limits the internal
FB signal during overload and startup. The FB pin signal
scales the FB signal down by a K ratio in order to limit the
FB
CS input dynamic voltage range. The scaled FB signal is
then further processed by subtraction of
a ramp
compensation generator signal in order to ensure stability of
the current mode control scheme. The divided internal FB
signal is overridden by a Soft−start generator output voltage
during device starts−up.
The actual operation frequency of the converter is defined
based on the CS pin and FB pin input signals. Please refer to
Figure 44 and below description for better understanding of
the NCP1399 frequency modulation system.
Figure 44. NCP1399 On−time Modulation Principle
The Mupper switch is activated by the controller after
dead−time (DT) period lapses in point A. The frequency
processing block increments the ON−time counter with
10 ns resolution until the internal CS signal crosses the
internal FB set point for the ON−time comparator in point B.
A DT period is then introduced by the controller to avoid any
shoot−through current through the power stage switches.
The DT period ends in point C and the controller activates
the Mlower switch. The ON−time processing block
decrements the ON_time counter down until it reaches zero.
The Mlower switch is then turned−OFF at point D and the
DT period is started. This approach results in perfect duty
cycle symmetry for Mlower and Mupper switches. The
Mupper switch on−time naturally increases and the
operating frequency drops when the FB pin voltage is
increased, i.e. when higher current is delivered by the
converter output – sequence E.
skip mode is not used or adjusted correctly. The current
mode operation is not possible in such case because the
ON−time comparator output stays active for several
switching cycles. Thus a special logic has been implemented
in NCP1399 in order to repeat the last valid on−time until the
current mode operation recovers – i.e. until the CS pin signal
balance is restored by the system.
Overload and Open FB Protections
The overload protection and open FB pin detection are
implemented via FB pin voltage monitoring in this
controller. The FB fault comparator is triggered once the FB
pin voltage reaches its maximum level and the V

threshold is exceeded. The fault timer or counter (depending
on IC option) is then enabled – refer to Figure 43. The time
period to the FB fault event confirmation is defined by the
preselected t

a FB fault confirmation period source, defines the fault

after the FB fault comparator to overcome false triggering of
the FB fault timer/counter due to possible noise on the FB
input. The noise filter has a period of 2 ms for FB fault
timer/counter activation and 20 ms for reset/deactivation to
assure high noise immunity. A cumulative timer/counter IC

primary current is naturally limited by the NCP1399
on−time modulation principle in this case. But the primary
current increases when the output terminals are shorted. The
NCP1399 controller will maintain zero voltage switching
operation in such case, however high currents will flow
through the power MOSFETS, transformer winding and
secondary side rectification. The NCP1399 implements a
dedicated secondary side short circuit protection system that
will shut down the controller much faster than the regular FB
fault event in order to limit the stress of the power stage
components. The CS pin signal is monitored by the
dedicated CS fault comparator − refer to Figure 43. The CS
fault counter is incremented each time the CS fault
comparator is triggered. The controller enters
auto−recovery or latched protection mode (depending on IC
option) in case the CS fault counter overflows refer to

Hard switching conditions can occur in a resonant SMPS
application when the resonant tank operation is started with
50% duty cycle symmetry – refer to Figure 47. This hard
switching appears because the resonant tank initial
conditions are not optimal for the clean startup.

resonant tank is low when the output is loaded and/or the
output voltage is low enough to made secondary rectifies

The resonant frequency of the resonant tank is given by the
resonant capacitor capacitance and resonant inductance
−note that the magnetizing inductance does not participate
in resonance in this case. However, if the application
starts−up when the output capacitors is charged and there is
no load connected to the output, the secondary rectification

startup sequence and thus the resonant frequency of resonant
tank is affected also by the magnetizing inductance. In this
case, the resonant frequency is much lower than in case of
startup into loaded/discharged output.
depending on how long delay was placed before application
operation restart. The resonant capacitor voltage is close to
zero level when application restarts after very long delay –
for example several seconds, when the resonant capacitor is
discharged by leakage to the power stage. However, the
resonant capacitor voltage value can be anywhere between
Vbulk and 0 V when the application restarts operation after
a short period of time – like during periodical SMPS
turn−on/off. Another factor that plays significant role during
resonant power supply startup is the actual load impedance
seen by the power stage during the first pulses of startup
sequence. This impedance is not only defined by resonant
tank components but also by the output loading conditions
and actual output voltage level. The load impedance of

These methods only work in specific startup conditions.

period and it is not followed by the Mlower switch
activation. The controller waits for a new ZVS condition for
Mupper switch instead and measures actual resonant tank
conditions this way. The Mupper switch is then activated
again after the Mlower blank period is used for measurment
purposes. The second Mupper driver conduction period is
then dependent on the previously measured conditions:
1. The Mupper switch is activated for 3/2 of previous
Mupper conduction period in case the measured
time between previous Mupper turn−off event and
upper ZVS condition detection is twice higher than
the the previous Mupper pulse conduction period
2. The Mupper switch is activated for previous
Mupper conduction period in case the measured
time between previous Mupper turn−off event and
upper ZVS condition detection is twice lower than
the previous Mupper pulse conduction period
The startup period then depends on the previous
condition. Another blank Mlower switch period is placed by
the controller in case condition 1 occurred. A normal
Mlower driver pulse, with DC of 50% to previous Mupper
DRV pulse, is placed in case condition 2 is fulfilled.
The dedicated startup sequence is placed after the
resonant capacitor is discharged (refer to Figure 48 and
Figure 49) in order to exclude any hard switching cycles
during the startup sequence. The first Mupper switch cycle
in startup phase is always non−ZVS cycle because there is
no energy in the resonant tank to prepare ZVS condition.
However, there is no energy in the resonant tank at this time,
there is also no possibility that the power stage MOSFET
body diodes conducts any current. Thus the hard
commutation of the body diode cannot occur in this case.
The IC will not start and provide regular driver output
pulses until it is placed into the target application, because
the startup sequence cannot be finished until HB pin signal

ON−time counter counts−up. The Maximum ON−time
comparator then changes counting mode of the ON−time
comparator from count−up to count−down. A dead−time is
placed and the Mlower switch is activated till the ON−time
counter reaches zero value. The Soft−Start counter is
incremented by selected increment during corresponding
Mlower on−time period so that the following Mupper switch
on−time is prolonged automatically – the frequency thus
drops naturally. Because the operating frequency of the

to decrease on each (or on each N−th) Mlower driver pulse

The previous on−time repetition feature, described above

the ON−time comparator output stays high for several cycles
of soft start period – until the current mode regulation takes
over. The previous on−time repetition feature is enabled
once the current modulation starts to work fully, i.e. in the
time when the ON−time comparator output periodically
drops to low state within actual Mupper switch on−time

major primary current component during light load
conditions, circulates in the resonant tank and creates power
losses in the power switches despite minimum energy
transfer to the secondary side. This is why the majority of
resonant converter controllers implement skip mode
operation under light load conditions.
The NCP1399 controller implements a proprietary skip
mode technique that assures maximum light−load efficiency
and low acoustic noise. The FB pin voltage level below
which the application enters skip mode operation is fully
user adjustable for the NCP1399A device family − via
SKIP/REM adjust pin or via IC option for the NCP1399B
device family. The skip mode operation can be initiated by
the skip comparator only during actual Mupper driver
on−time period. This technique assures defined and
synchronous transition from normal to skip mode operation.
The SKIP/REM pin voltage (NCP1399Ay) or internal
voltage level (NCP1399By) defines the FB pin voltage
threshold under which is the skip mode initiated – the
maximum operating frequency of the converter is thus
defined indirectly.
The Mlower switch is always activated for a defined
on−time period at the beginning of each skip burst to
re−charge the bootstrap capacitor and thus assure enough
charge for high side driver powering during the following
Mupper pulse. The resonant capacitor average voltage level
is maintained below Vbulk/2 level during the skip mode
operation. This technique helps to minimize power loses
during the initial Mlower MOSFET switch activation – refer
to Figure 53.

Skip Mode Operation
An LLC resonant converter efficiency reaches high values
under medium and full load conditions thanks to ZVS
operation for the primary MOSFETs and ZCS operation for
the secondary rectifiers. The light−load and no−load
efficiency however drops unacceptably when a normal
frequency modulation control technique is used. This is
because the converter operating frequency needs to be
increased quite a lot compared to nominal load operating
frequency in order to maintain regulation under light load
conditions. High operating frequency increases driving
losses in the controller and also losses in the converter power
stage. Moreover, the magnetizing current that becomes

b2) the second Mlower pulse with on−time longer
than previous Mupper driver pulse period is placed in
case that the ON−time comparator output is high in
the end of regular Mlower period. The second
Mlower pulse is prolonged in such case until the
ON−time comparator output gets low. This technique
ensures that the current mode operation is not lost due
to resonant capacitor voltage imbalance that naturally
occurs during burst operation. The application works
with asymmetrical duty cycle in this case.
During operation under certain load conditions in normal
PFM mode (driving the resonant tank with 50% DC
symmetry), if the load drops, then the load current is reduced
and the converter operation evolves as follows:

only during the Mupper switch on−time execution.

Example of imbalanced operation during the skip mode

the ON−time comparator output (Yelow) is high while

width – thus the Mlower on−time period is prolonged until
the ON−time comparator output drops.

Figure 56. The on−time comparator prolongs Mlower periods in case it output is high after previous Mupper
period is already exceeded on Mlower so imbalanced operation is placed by the system in order to keep current
mode operation working. This functionality is active until the duty cycle symmetry reaches 50%.
Fast transition to skip mode can occur when the load
current diminishes abruptly and the application is working
in full load. The frequency then quickly increases which can
result in resonant capacitor imbalance that could lead to a
loss of current mode operation – refer to Figure 57 for
illustration. This is why the NCP1399 repeats previous
Mupper on−time period in case the ON−time comparator
output does not drop low within this time period (i.e. within
the time equal to last Mupper on−time).

Summary of the NCP1399 Skip Mode System Operation:
When the load slowly diminishes and the operating
frequency of the LLC converter increases, skip mode with
wide skip bursts is naturally placed by the system first − refer
to Figure 58. The off−time between skip bursts increases and
the number of pulses in skip burst drops when load is
reducing further i.e. FB voltage starts to trigger the

under no load on the output in systems with very fast

single Mupper and two Mlower pulses in such case. The
