Flexible Single-Ended Current Mode PWM Controller  
The ISL6721A is a low power, single-ended Pulse-Width  
Modulating (PWM) current mode controller designed for  
a wide range of DC/DC conversion applications  
including Boost, Flyback, and isolated output  
configurations. Peak current mode control effectively  
handles power transients and provides inherent  
overcurrent protection. Other features include a low  
power mode in which the supply current drops to less  
than 200µA during overvoltage and overcurrent  
shutdown faults. The ISL6721A differs from the  
ISL6721 in that the UVLO and UV thresholds have been  
modified.  
Features  
• 1A MOSFET gate driver  
• 100µA startup current  
• Fast transient response with Peak Current Mode  
control  
• Adjustable switching frequency up to 1MHz  
• Bidirectional synchronization  
• Low Power Disable mode  
• Delayed restart from OV and OC shutdown faults  
• Adjustable slope compensation  
• Adjustable soft-start  
This advanced BiCMOS design features low operating  
current, adjustable operating frequency up to 1MHz,  
adjustable soft-start, and a bidirectional SYNC signal  
that allows the oscillator to be locked to an external clock  
for noise sensitive applications.  
• Adjustable overcurrent shutdown threshold  
• Adjustable UV and OV monitors  
• Leading edge blanking

GATE  
Device output. This high current power driver is capable of driving the gate of a power  
MOSFET with peak currents of 1.0A. This GATE output is actively held low when VCC  
is below the UVLO threshold.  
The output high voltage is held to ~13.5V. Do not apply voltages exceeding this clamp  
value to the GATE pin. The output stage provides very low impedance to overshoot  
and undershoot.  
16  
ISENSE  
Input to the current sense comparators. The IC has two current sensing comparators:  
a PWM comparator for peak current mode control and an overcurrent protection  
comparator. The overcurrent comparator threshold is adjustable through the ISET pin.  
Exceeding the overcurrent threshold starts a delayed shutdown sequence. When an  
overcurrent condition is detected, the soft-start charge current source is disabled and a  
discharge current source is enabled. The soft-start capacitor begins discharging, and if  
it discharges to less than 4.375V (sustained overcurrent threshold), a shutdown  
condition occurs and the GATE output is forced low. Refer to “Overcurrent Operation”  
on page 17 for more details. The GATE output remains low until the reset threshold is  
attained. At this point, a soft-start cycle begins.  
If the overcurrent condition ceases and an additional 50µs period elapses before the  
shutdown threshold is reached, no shutdown occurs and the soft-start voltage is  
allowed to recharge.

SYNC  
This bidirectional synchronization signal coordinates the switching frequency of  
multiple units. Units can be synchronized by connecting the SYNC signal of each unit  
together or by using an external master clock signal. The oscillator timing capacitor,  
CT, is still required even if an external clock is used. The first unit to assert this signal  
assumes control. The SYNC frequency can be either higher or lower than the free  
running oscillator frequency.  
SLOPE  
Method by which the ISENSE ramp slope can be increased for improved noise  
immunity or improved control loop stability for duty cycles greater than 50%. An  
internal current source charges an external capacitor to GND during each switching  
cycle. The resulting ramp is scaled and added to the ISENSE signal.

OV  
Undervoltage monitor input pin. This signal is compared to an internal 1.93V  
reference to detect an undervoltage condition.  
Overvoltage monitor input pin. This signal is compared to an internal 2.5V reference  
to detect an overvoltage condition.  
RTCT  
Oscillator timing control pin. The operational frequency and maximum duty cycle are  
set by connecting a resistor, RT, between VREF and this pin and a timing capacitor, CT,  
from this pin to LGND. The oscillator produces a sawtooth waveform with a  
programmable frequency range of 100kHz to 1.0MHz. The charge time, tC; the  
discharge time, tD; the switching frequency, f ; and the maximum duty cycle, Dmax,  
sw  
can be calculated from Equations 1, 2, 3, and 4:

Sets the pulse-by-pulse overcurrent threshold by applying a DC voltage between  
0.35V and 1.2V to this input. When overcurrent inception occurs, the SS capacitor  
begins to discharge and starts the overcurrent delayed shutdown cycle.  
FB  
Feedback voltage input connected to the inverting input of the error amplifier. The  
non-inverting input of the error amplifier is internally tied to a reference voltage.  
Current sense leading edge blanking is disabled when the FB input is less than 2.0V.  
10  
COMP  
Error amplifier output and the PWM comparator input. The control loop frequency  
compensation network is connected between the COMP and FB pins.  
The ISL6721A features a built-in full cycle soft-start. Soft-start is implemented as a  
clamp on the maximum COMP voltage.

SS  
Connect the soft-start capacitor between this pin and LGND to control the duration of  
soft-start. The value of the capacitor determines both the rate of increase of the duty  
cycle during start-up and controls the overcurrent shutdown delay.

VREF  
A small signal reference ground for all analog functions on this device.  
The 5V reference voltage output. Bypass to LGND with a 0.01µF or larger capacitor to  
filter this output as needed. Using capacitance less than this value may cause  
unstable operation.

VCC  
Power connection for the device. Although quiescent current, ICC, is low, it is  
dependent on the frequency of operation. To optimize noise immunity, bypass VCC to  
LGND with a ceramic capacitor as close to the VCC and LGND pins as possible.  
The total supply current (IC plus ICC) will be higher, depending on the load applied to  
GATE. Total current is the sum of the quiescent current and the average gate current.  
Knowing the operating frequency, fsw, and the MOSFET gate charge, Qg, the average  
GATE output current can be calculated in Equation 5:  
Igate = Qg f

PGND  
VC  
Provides a dedicated ground for the output gate driver. Connect the LGND and PGND  
pins externally using a short printed circuit board trace close to the IC. This is  
imperative to prevent large, high frequency switching currents flowing through the  
ground metallization inside the IC (decouple VC to PGND with a low ESR 0.1µF or  
larger capacitor).  
16  
A separate collector supply to the output gate drive. Separating VC and PGND helps  
decouple the IC’s analog circuitry from the high power gate drive noise (decouple VC  
to PGND with a low ESR 0.1µF or larger capacitor).

4. Functional Description  
4. Functional Description  
4.1  
Features  
The ISL6721A current mode PWM is an ideal choice for low-cost Flyback and Forward topology applications  
requiring enhanced control and supervisory capability. With adjustable overvoltage and undervoltage thresholds,  
overcurrent threshold, and hiccup delay, a highly flexible design with minimal external components is possible.  
Other features include peak current mode control, adjustable soft-start, slope compensation, adjustable oscillator  
frequency, and a bidirectional synchronization clock input.  
4.2  
Oscillator  
The ISL6721A has a sawtooth oscillator with a programmable frequency range to 1MHz, which can be  
programmed with a resistor and capacitor on the RTCT pin. Refer to Figure 6 for the resistance and capacitance  
required for a given frequency.  
4.3  
Implementing Synchronization  
Synchronize the oscillator to an external clock applied at the SYNC pin or by connecting the SYNC pins of  
multiple ICs together. If using an external master clock signal, it must be at least 65% of the free-running frequency  
of the oscillator for proper synchronization. The external master clock signal should have a pulse width greater than  
20ns. If no master clock is used, the first device to assert SYNC assumes control of the SYNC signal. An external  
SYNC pulse is ignored if it occurs during the first 1/3 of the switching cycle.  
During normal operation, the RTCT voltage charges from 1.5V to 3.0V and back during each cycle. Clock and  
SYNC signals are generated when the 3.0V threshold is reached. If an external clock signal is detected during the  
latter 2/3 of the charging cycle, the oscillator switches to external synchronization mode and relies on the external  
SYNC signal to terminate the oscillator cycle. The generation of a SYNC signal is inhibited in this mode. If the  
RTCT voltage exceeds 4.0V (no external SYNC signal terminates the cycle), the oscillator reverts to the internal  
clock mode and a SYNC signal is generated.  
4.4  
Soft-Start Operation  
The ISL6721A features soft-start using an external capacitor in conjunction with an internal current source.  
Soft-start reduces voltage stresses and surge currents during start-up.  
At start-up, the soft-start circuitry clamps the error amplifier output (COMP pin) to a value proportional to the  
soft-start voltage. The error amplifier output rises as the soft-start capacitor voltage rises. This increases the output  
pulse width from zero to the steady state operating duty cycle during the soft-start period. When the soft-start voltage  
exceeds the error amplifier voltage, soft-start is complete. Soft-start forces a controlled output voltage rise. Soft-start  
occurs during start-up and after recovery from a fault condition or overcurrent shutdown. The soft-start voltage is  
clamped to 4.5V.  
4.5  
Gate Drive  
The ISL6721A can source and sink 1A peak current. Separate collector supply (V ) and power ground (PGnd) pins  
C
help isolate the IC’s analog circuitry from the high power gate drive noise. To limit the peak current through the IC,  
place an external resistor between the IC totem-pole output (GATE pin) and the MOSFET gate. This small series  
resistor also damps any oscillations caused by the resonant tank of the parasitic inductances in the traces of the  
board and the FET’s input capacitance.  
4.6  
Slope Compensation  
Use slope compensation to improve noise immunity in applications in which the maximum duty cycle is less than  
50%, particularly at lighter loads. The amount of slope compensation required for noise immunity is determined  
empirically, but is generally about 10% of the full scale current feedback signal. Slope compensation is required to  
prevent instability in applications in which the duty cycle is greater than 50%. Slope compensation is a technique in  
FN6797 Rev.1.00  
Jul 24, 2018

ISL6721A  
4. Functional Description  
which the current feedback signal is modified by adding additional slope to it. The minimum amount of slope  
compensation required corresponds to 1/2 the inductor downslope. However, adding excessive slope compensation  
results in a control loop that behaves more as a voltage mode controller than as current mode controller (Figure 7).

Example:  
Assume the inductor current signal presented at the ISENSE pin decreases 125mV during the Off period, and:

Determine the downslope:  
Downslope = 0.125V/1.6µs = 78mV/µs. Now determine the amount of voltage that must be added to the current  
sense signal by the end of the On time (Equation 7).

An appropriate slope compensation capacitance for this example would be 1/2 to 1/3 the calculated value, or  
between 68pF and 33pF.  
4.7  
Overvoltage and Undervoltage Monitor  
The OV and UV signals are inputs to a window comparator that monitors the input voltage level to the converter. If  
the voltage falls outside of the user designated operating range, a shutdown fault occurs. For OV faults, the supply  
current, I , is reduced to 200µA for ~295ms, at which time recovery is attempted. If the fault is cleared, a  
CC  
soft-start cycle begins. If the fault is not cleared, another shutdown cycle occurs. A UV condition also results in a  
shutdown fault, but the device does not enter Low Power mode and no restart delay occurs when the fault clears.  
A resistor divider between V and LGND to each input determines the operational thresholds. The UV threshold  
IN  
has a fixed hysteresis of 75mV nominal.

Overcurrent Operation  
The overcurrent threshold level is set by the voltage applied at the ISET pin. Set the overcurrent level by using a  
resistor divider network from VREF to LGND. Set the ISET threshold at a level that corresponds to the desired  
peak output inductor current plus the additive effects of slope compensation.  
Overcurrent delayed shutdown is enabled when the soft-start cycle is complete. If an overcurrent condition is  
detected, the soft-start charging current source is disabled and the discharging current source is enabled. The  
soft-start capacitor is discharged at a rate of 40µA. At the same time, a 50µs retriggerable one-shot timer is  
activated and remains active for 50µs after the overcurrent condition stops. The soft-start discharge cycle cannot be  
reset until the one-shot timer becomes inactive. If the soft-start capacitor discharges by more than 0.125V to  
4.375V, the output is disabled and the soft-start capacitor is discharged. The output remains disabled and I drops  
CC  
to 200µA for approximately 295ms. A new soft-start cycle is then initiated. The OC protection shutdown and  
restart behavior is often referred to as hiccup operation due to its repetitive start-up and shutdown characteristics.  
If the overcurrent condition stops at least 50µs before the soft-start voltage reaches 4.375V, the soft-start charging  
and discharging currents revert to normal operation and the soft-start voltage is allowed to recover.  
Hiccup OC protection may be defeated by setting ISET to a voltage that exceeds the Error Amplifier current  
control voltage, or about 1.5V.  
4.9  
Leading Edge Blanking  
The leading edge blanking circuitry removes the initial 100ns of the current feedback signal input at ISENSE. The  
blanking period begins when the GATE output leading edge exceeds 3.0V. Leading edge blanking prevents current  
spikes from parasitic elements in the power supply from causing false trips of the PWM comparator and the  
overcurrent comparator.  
4.10 Fault Conditions  
A fault condition occurs if VREF falls below 4.65V, the OV input exceeds 2.50V, the UV input falls below 1.93V,  
or the junction temperature of the die exceeds ~+130°C. When a Fault is detected, the GATE output is disabled and  
the soft-start capacitor is quickly discharged. A soft-start cycle begins when the Fault condition clears and the  
soft-start voltage is below the reset threshold.  
4.11 Ground Plane Requirements  
Careful layout is essential for satisfactory operation of the device. A good ground plane must be employed. A  
unique section of the ground plane must be designated for high di/dt currents associated with the output stage.  
Power ground (PGND) can be separated from the logic ground (LGND) and connected at a single point. Bypass V  
C
directly to PGND with good high frequency capacitors. Connect the return connection for input power and the bulk  
input capacitor to the PGND ground plane.

Transformer Design  
Flyback transformer design is an iterative process that requires a great deal of experience to achieve the desired  
result. It is a process of many compromises, and even experienced designers will produce different designs when  
presented with identical requirements. The iterative design process is not presented here for clarity.  
The abbreviated design process is as follows:  
• Select a core geometry suitable for the application. Constraints of height, footprint, mounting preference, and  
operating environment will affect the choice.  
• Select suitable core material(s).  
• Select the maximum flux density desired for operation.

5. Reference Design  
• Select the core size. Core size is determined by the ability of the core structure to store the required energy, the  
number of turns that have to be wound, and the wire gauge needed. Often, the window area (the space used for the  
windings) and power loss determine the final core size. Flyback transformers’ ability to store energy is the critical  
factor in determining the core size. The cross sectional area of the core and the length of the air gap in the  
magnetic path determine the energy storage capability.  
• Determine the maximum desired flux density. Depending on the frequency of operation, the core material  
selected, and the operating environment, the allowed flux density must be determined. The allowed flux density is  
often difficult to determine initially. Usually the highest flux density that produces an acceptable design is used,  
but the winding geometry often dictates a larger core than is required based on flux density and energy storage  
calculations.  
• Determine the number of primary turns.  
• Determine the turns ratio.  
• Select the wire gauge for each winding.  
• Determine winding order and insulation requirements.  
Verify the design.

A core structure with less airgap volume than calculated cannot provide the full output power over some portion of its  
operating range. Conversely, if the length of the airgap becomes large, magnetic field fringing around the gap occurs.  
This increases the airgap volume. Some fringing is usually acceptable, but excessive fringing can cause increased  
losses in the windings around the gap, resulting in excessive heating. When a suitable core and gap combination are  
found, the iterative design cycle begins. Develop the design and check for ease of assembly and thermal performance.

If the core does not allow adequate space for the windings, a core with a larger window area is required. If the  
transformer runs hot, it may be necessary to lower the flux density (more primary turns, lower operating frequency),  
select a less lossy core material, change the geometry of the windings (winding order), use heavier gauge wire or  
multi-filar windings, and/or change the type of wire used (Litz wire, for example).  
For simplicity, only the final design is further described.

An EPCOS EFD 20/10/7 core using N87 material gapped to an A value of 25nH/N was chosen. It has more than

where tr is the time required to reset the core. Because discontinuous MMF mode operation is desired, the core

capacitors increases with decreasing reset time. The calculation for maximum N for the 3.3 V output using

The number of secondary turns is also dependent on the number of outputs and the required turns ratios required to  
generate them. If Schottky output rectifiers are used and we assume a forward voltage drop of 0.45V, the required  
turns ratio for the two output voltages, 3.3V and 1.8V, is 5:3.  
With a turns ratio of 5:3 for the secondary windings, we will use N = 5 turns and N = 3 turns. Checking the reset

time using these values for the number of secondary turns yields a duration of Tr = 2.33µs, or about 47% of the

The bias winding turns may be calculated similarly, except a diode forward drop of 0.7V is used. The rounded off  
result is 17 turns for a 12V bias.

The RMS currents are:  
• Primary winding: 0.72A  
• 3.3V output: 4.23A  
• 1.8V output: 1.69A  
• Bias winding: 85mA.  
To minimize the transformer leakage inductance, the primary winding is split into two sections connected in  
parallel and positioned so that the other windings are sandwiched between them. The output windings are  
configured so that the 1.8V winding is a tap off of the 3.3V winding. Tapping the 1.8V output requires that the  
shared portion of the secondary conduct the combined current of both outputs. The secondary wire gauge must be  
selected accordingly.  
The determination of wire current carrying capacity is a compromise between performance, size, and cost. It is  
affected by many design constraints such as operating frequency (harmonic content of the waveform) and the  
winding proximity/geometry. It generally ranges between 250 and 1000 circular mils per ampere. A circular mil is  
defined as the area of a circle 0.001” (1 mil) in diameter. As the frequency of operation increases, the AC resistance  
of the wire increases due to skin and proximity effects. Using heavier gauge wire may not alleviate the problem.  
Instead multiple strands of wire in parallel must be used. In some cases, Litz wire is required.  
The winding configuration selected is:  
Primary #1: 40T, 2 #30 bifilar  
Secondary: 5T, 0.003” (3 mil) copper foil tapped at 3T  
Bias: 17T #32  
Primary #2: 40T, 2 #30 bifilar  
The internal spacing and insulation system is designed for 1500VDC dielectric withstand rating between the  
primary and secondary windings.  
5.4  
Selecting Power MOSFETs  
Selecting the main switching MOSFET requires consideration of the voltage and current stresses in the application,  
the power dissipated by the device, its size, and its cost.  
The converter’s input voltage range is 36VDC to 75VDC. This suggests a MOSFET with a voltage rating of 150V  
is required due to the flyback voltage likely to be seen on the primary of the isolation transformer.  
The losses associated with MOSFET operation are divided into three categories: conduction, switching, and gate  
drive.  
The conduction losses are due to the MOSFET’s ON-resistance (Equation 18).  
2
(EQ. 18)  
Pcond = r  
Iprms  
W
DSON  
where r  
is the ON-resistance of the MOSFET and Iprms is the RMS primary current. Determining the  
DS(ON)  
conduction losses is complicated by the variation of r  
with temperature. As junction temperature increases,  
DS(ON)  
so does r  
, which increases losses and raises the junction temperature more, and so on. It is possible for the  
DS(ON)  
device to enter a thermal runaway situation without proper heatsinking. Generally, doubling the +25°C r  
DS(ON)  
specification yields a reasonable value for estimating the conduction losses at +125°C junction temperature.  
The switching losses have two components: capacitive switching losses and voltage/current overlap losses. The  
capacitive losses occur during device turn-on and can be calculated in Equation 19:

Pswcap = Cfet Vin f  
(EQ. 19)

where Cfet is the equivalent output capacitance of the MOSFET. Device output capacitance is specified on  
datasheets as Coss and is non-linear with applied voltage. To find the equivalent discrete capacitance, Cfet, a

charge model is used. Using a known current source, the time required to charge the MOSFET drain to the desired  
operating voltage is determined and the equivalent capacitance may be calculated in Equation 20:  
Ichg t  
(EQ. 20)  
-------------------  
Cfet =

V
The other component of the switching loss is due to the overlap of voltage and current during the switching  
transition. A switching transition occurs when the MOSFET is in the process of either turning on or off. Because  
the load is inductive, no voltage and current overlap occurs during the turn on transition, so only the turn off  
transition is of significance. The power dissipation can be estimated using Equation 21:

IN OL SW

PPK  
where t is the duration of the overlap period and x ranges from about 3 through 6 in typical applications and  
OL  
depends on where the waveforms intersect. This estimate may predict higher dissipation than is realized because a  
portion of the turn off drain current is attributable to the charging of the device output capacitance (Coss) and is not  
dissipative during this portion of the switching cycle (Figure 8).

The final component of MOSFET loss is caused by the charging of the gate capacitance through the device gate  
resistance. Depending on the relative value of any external resistance in the gate drive circuit, a portion of this  
power will be dissipated externally (Equation 22).  
(EQ. 22)  
Pgate = Qg Vg f

SW  
When the losses are known, select the device package and design the heatsinking method. Because the design  
requires a small surface mount part, an 8 Ld SOIC package was selected. A Fairchild FDS2570 MOSFET was  
selected based on these criteria. The overall losses are estimated at 400mW.  
5.5  
Output Filter Design  
In a Flyback design, the primary concern for the design of the output filter is the capacitor ripple current stress and  
the ripple and noise specification of the output.  
The current flowing in and out of the output capacitors is the difference between the winding current and the output  
current. The peak secondary current, I , is 10.73A for the 3.3V output and 4.29A for the 1.8V output. The  
SPK  
current flowing into the output filter capacitor is the difference between the winding current and the output current.  
The 3.3V output’s peak winding current is I  
= 10.73A. The capacitor must store this amount minus the output  
SPK  
current of 2.5A, or 8.23A. The RMS ripple current in the 3.3V output capacitor is about 3.5A  
. The RMS ripple  
RMS  
current in the 1.8V output capacitor is about 1.4A  
.
RMS  
Voltage deviation on the output during the switching cycle (ripple and noise) is caused by the change in charge of  
the output capacitance, the Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR), and Equivalent Series Inductance (ESL). Assign a  
portion of the total ripple and noise specification to each of these components. The amount to allow for each  
contributor is dependent on the capacitor technology used.

High capacitance capacitors usually do not have sufficiently low ESL. High frequency capacitors such as surface  
mount ceramic or film are connected in parallel with the high capacitance capacitors to address the effects of ESL.  
A combination of high frequency and high ripple capability capacitors is used to achieve the desired overall  
performance. The analysis of the 1.8V output is similar to that of the 3.3V output and is omitted for brevity. Two  
OSCON 4SEP560M (560µF) electrolytic capacitors and a 22µF X5R ceramic 1210 capacitor were selected for  
both the 3.3 and 1.8V outputs. The 4SEP560M electrolytic capacitors are each rated at 4520mA ripple current and  
13mΩ of ESR. The ripple current rating of just one of these capacitors is adequate, but two are needed to meet the  
minimum ESR and capacitance values.  
The bias output is of such low power and current that it places negligible stress on its filter capacitor. A single  
0.1µF ceramic capacitor was selected.  
5.6  
Control Loop Design  
The major components of the feedback control loop are a programmable shunt regulator, an opto-coupler, and the  
ISL6721A’s inverting amplifier. The opto-coupler transfers the error signal across the isolation barrier. The  
opto-coupler is a convenient way to cross the isolation barrier, but it adds complexity to the feedback control loop.  
It adds a pole at about 10kHz and a significant amount of gain variation due the Current Transfer Ratio (CTR). The  
of the opto-coupler CTR varies with initial tolerance, temperature, forward current, and age.

Development of a small signal model for current mode control is rather complex. The reference method was  
selected for its ability to accurately predict loop behavior. To further simplify the analysis, the converter will be  
modeled as a single output supply with all of the output capacitance reflected to the 3.3V output. When the “single”  
output system is compensated, adjustments to the compensation are required based on actual loop measurements.  
The first parameter to determine is the peak current feedback loop gain. Because this application is low power, a  
resistor in series with the source of the power switching MOSFET is used for the current feedback signal. For  
higher power applications, a resistor dissipates too much power and a current transformer would be used instead.  
Current loop behavior can be difficult to adjust due to the need to provide overcurrent protection. Current limit and  
current loop gain are determined by the current sense resistor and the ISET threshold. ISET was set at 1.0V, near its  
maximum, to minimize noise effects. When determining ISET, account for the internal gain and offset of the  
ISENSE signal in the control IC. The maximum peak primary current was determined earlier to be 1.87A, so a  
choice of 2.25A peak primary current for current limit is reasonable. A current gain, A , of 0.5V/A was selected

gain between the error amplifier and the PWM comparator.  
The Type 2 compensation configuration has two poles and one zero. The first pole is at the origin, and provides the  
integration characteristic which results in excellent DC regulation. Referring to the typical boost converter  
application schematic (Figure 2 on page 5), the remaining pole and zero for the compensator are located at  
(Equations 38 and 39):

Equation 27 shows that the control to output transfer function frequency dependence is a function of the output  
load resistance, the value of output capacitance, and the output capacitor ESR. These variations must be considered  
when compensating the control loop. The worst case small signal operating point for the converter is at minimum  
V , maximum load, maximum C  
, and minimum ESR.

The higher the desired bandwidth of the converter, the more difficult it is to create a solution that is stable over the  
entire operating range. A good standard is to limit the bandwidth to about f /4. For this example, the bandwidth will

be further limited due to the low GBWP of the LM431-based Error Amplifier (EA) and the opto-coupler. A bandwidth  
of approximately 5kHz was selected.  
For the EA compensation, the first pole is placed at the origin by default (C is an integrating capacitor). The first  
14  
zero is placed below the crossover frequency, f , usually around 1/3 f . The second pole is placed at the lower of  
co  
co  
the ESR zero or at one half of the switching frequency. The midband gain is then adjusted to obtain the desired  
crossover frequency. If the phase margin is not adequate, the crossover frequency may have to be reduced.  
Using this technique to determine the compensation, the following values for the EA components were selected.

Figure 14 shows the converter behavior while operating in an overcurrent fault condition. Trace 1 is the soft-start  
voltage, which increases from 0V to 4.5V, at which point the OC fault function is enabled. The OC condition is  
detected and the soft-start capacitor is discharged to the 4.375V OC fault threshold at which point the IC enters the  
fault shutdown mode. Trace 2 shows the behavior of the timing capacitor voltage during a shutdown fault. Most of  
the IC functions, including the oscillator, are de-powered during a fault. During a fault, the IC is turned off until the  
restart delay has timed out. After the delay, power is restored and the IC resumes normal operation. Trace 3 is the  
GATE output during the soft-start cycle and OC fault.
