STANDBY FUNCTION
Pin
The standby function, optimized for flyback topol-
ogy, automatically detects a light load condition
for the converter and decreases the oscillator fre-
quency on that occurrence. The normal oscillation
frequency is automaticallyresumed when the out-
put load builds up and exceeds a defined thresh-
old.
fosc
Normal operation
This function allows to minimize power losses re-
lated to switching frequency, which represent the
majority of losses in a lightly loaded flyback, with-
out giving up the advantagesof a higherswitching
frequency at heavy load.
PNO
fSB
PSB
Stand-by
This is accomplished by monitoring the output of
the Error Amplifier (VCOMP) that depends linearly
on the peak primary current, except for an offset.

VCOMP
If the the peak primary current decreases (as a re-
sult of a decrease of the power demanded by the
load) and VCOMP falls below a fixed threshold
(VT1), the oscillator frequency will be set to a
lower value (fSB). When the peak primary current
increases and VCOMP exceedsa secondthreshold
(VT2) the oscillator frequency is set to the normal
value (fosc). An appropriate hysteresis (VT2-VT1)
prevents undesired frequency change when
power is such that VCOMP moves close to the
threshold.This operationis shown in fig. 20.
matically the master.
During the ramp-up of the oscillator the pin is
pulled low by a 600µA internal sink current gener-
ator. During the falling edge, that is when the
µ
pulse is released, the 600 A pull-down is discon-
nected. The pin becomes a generator whose
source capability is typically 7mA (with a voltage
still higher than 3.5V).
In fig. 21, some practical examples of synchroniz-
ing the L5991 are given.
Since the device automatically diminishes its op-
erating frequency under light load conditions, it is
reasonable to suppose that synchronization will
refer to normal operationand not to standby.
Both the normal and the standby frequency are
externally programmable. VT1 and VT2 are inter-
nally fixed but it is possible to adjust the thresh-
olds in terms of input power level.

RCT (Oscillator). Two resistors (RA and RB)
APPLICATION INFORMATION
Detailed Pin Function Description
and one capacitor (CT), connected as shown in
fig. 22, allow to set separately the operating fre-
Pin 1. SYNC (In/Out Synchronization). This func-
tion allows the IC’s oscillator either to synchronize
other controllers (master) or to be synchronized to
an externalfrequency(slave).
As a master, the pin delivers positive pulses dur-
ing the falling edge of the oscillator (see pin 2). In
slave operationthe circuit is edge triggered. Refer
to fig. 22 to see how it works. When several IC
work in parallel no master-slave designation is
needed because the fastest one becomes auto-
quency of the oscillator in normal operation (fosc
and in standbymode (fSB).
)
CT is chargedfrom Vref through RA and RB in nor-
mal operation (STANDBY = HIGH), through RA
only in standby ( STANDBY = LOW). See pin 16
description to see how the STANDBY signal is gen-
erated.
When the voltage on CT reaches 3V, the capaci-
tor is quickly internally discharged. As the voltage
has dropped to 1V it starts being charged again.

from fig. 13 or resulting from (1) and (2).
The oscillation frequency can be established with
the aid of the diagrams of fig. 13, where RT will be
intended as the parallel of RA and RB in normal
operation and RT = RA in standby, or considering
the following approximate relationships:
To prevent the oscillator frequency from switching
back and forth from fosc to fSB, the ratio fosc / fSB
must not exceed5.5.
If during normal operation the IC is to be synchro-
nized to an external oscillator, RA, RB and CT
should be selected for a fosc lower than the master
frequency in any condition (typically, 10-20% ),
dependingalso on the tolerance of the parts.

A voltage below 1V will inhibit the driver output
stage. This could be used for a not-latcheddevice
disable, for example in case of overvoltage pro-

If no limitation on the maximum duty cycle is re-
quired (i.e. DMAX = DX), the pin has to be left float-
ing. An internal pull-up (see fig. 23) holds the volt-

Pin 7. SS (Soft-Start). At device start-up, a ca-

SGND (pin 12) is charged by an internal current
generator, ISSC, up to about 7V. During this
ramp, the E/A output is clamped by the voltage
across Css itself and allowed to rise linearly, start-
ing from zero, up to the steady-state value im-
posed by the control loop. The maximum time in-
terval during which the E/A is clamped, referred to
as soft-starttime, is approximately:

The E/A features high gain-bandwidth product,

the ON-time of the power switch can be reduced
(from A to B). After the minimum ON-time is
reached (from B onwards) the current is out of
control.
To prevent this risk, a comparator trips an over-
current handling procedure, named ’hiccup’ mode
operation, when a voltage above 1.2V (point C) is
detected on current sense input (ISEN, pin 13).
Basically, the IC is turned off and then soft-started
as long as the fault condition is detected. As a re-
sult, the operating point is moved abruptly to D,
creating a foldback effect. Fig. 25 illustrates the
operation.
Pin 6.
COMP (Error Amplifier Output). Usually,
this pin is used for frequency compensation and
the relevant network is connected between this
pin and VFB (pin 5). Compensation networks to-
wards ground are not possible since the L5991
E/A is a voltage mode amplifier (low output im-
pedance). See application ideas for some exam-
ple ofcompensationtechniques.
It is worth mentioning that the calculation of the
part values of the compensation network must
take the standby frequency operation into ac-
count. In particular, this means that the open-loop
crossover frequency must not exceed fSB/4 ÷
fSB/5.
The oscillation frequency appearing on the soft-
start capacitor in case of permanent fault, referred
to as ’hiccup” period, is approximatelygiven by:

MOS. At turn-on the gate resistance is Rg + Rg’, at
turn-off is Rg only.
Since the system tries restarting each hiccup cy-
cle, there is not any latchoff risk.
”Hiccup” keeps the system in control in case of
short circuits but does not eliminate power com-
ponents overstress during pulse-by-pulse limita-
tion (from A to C). Other external protection cir-
cuits are needed if a better control of overloads is
required.

VCC (Controller Supply). This pin supplies

the current consumption is extremely low

the consumption of the start-up circuit (in the sim-
plest case, just one resistor), which is one of the
most significant contributions to power losses in
standby.
An internal Zener limits the voltage on VCC to
25V. The IC current consumption increases con-
siderably if this limit is exceeded.
Pin 10.
OUT (Driver Output). This pin is the out-
put of the driver stage of the external power
switch. Usually, this will be a PowerMOS, al-
though the driver is powerful enough to drive
BJT’s (1.6A source, 2A sink, peak).
A small film capacitor between this pin and SGND
(pin 12), placed as close as possible to the IC, is
recommendedto filter high frequency noise.
The driver is made up of a totem pole with a high-
side NPN Darlington and a low-side VDMOS, thus
there is no need of an external diode clamp to
prevent voltage from going below ground. An in-
ternal clamp limits the voltage delivered to the
gate at 13V. Thus it is possible to supply the
driver (Pin 9) with higher voltages without any risk
of damage for the gate oxide of the external MOS.
The clamp does not cause any additional in-
crease of power dissipation inside the chip since
the current peak of the gate charge occurs when
the gate voltage is few volts and the clamp is not
active. Besides, no current flows when the gate
voltageis 13V, steady state.
Pin 9. VC (Supply of the Power Stage). It supplies
the driver of the external switch and therefore ab-
sorbs a pulsed current. Thus it is recommendedto
place a buffer capacitor (towards PGND, pin 11,
as close as possible to the IC) able to sustain
these current pulses and in order to avoid them
inducing disturbances.
This pin can be connected to the buffer capacitor
directly or through a resistor, as shown in fig. 26,
to control separately the turn-on and turn-off
speed of the external switch, typically a Power-

the external MOS cannot be turned on acciden-
tally. The peculiarity of this circuit is its ability to
mantain the same sink capability (typically, 20mA
@ 1V) from VCC = 0V up to the start-up threshold.
When the threshold is exceeded and the L5991
starts operating,VREFOK is pulled high (refer to fig.
27) and the circuit is disabled.
It is then possible to omit the ”bleeder” resistor
(connected between the gate and the source of
the MOS) ordinarily used to prevent undesired
switching-on of the external MOS because of
some leakage current.
Pin 13.
ISEN (Current Sense). This pin is to be
connected to the ”hot” lead of the current sense
resistor Rsense (being the other one grounded), to
get a voltage ramp which is an image of the cur-
rent of the switch (IQ). When this voltage is equal

the conductionof the switch is terminated.
To increase the noise immunity, a ”Leading Edge
Blanking” of about 100ns is internally realized as
shown in fig. 28. Because of that, the smoothing
RC filter between this pin and Rsense could be re-
moved or, at least, considerablyreduced.

The pin can be driven by an external logic signal
in case of power management, as shown in fig.

ter capacitor to avoid spurious activation due to

Layout hints
Generally speaking a proper circuitboard layout is
vital for correct operation but is not an easy task.
Careful component placing, correct traces routing,
appropriate traces widths and, in case of high
voltages, compliance with isolation distances are
the major issues. The L5991 eases this task by
putting two pins at disposal for separate current
returns of bias (SGND) and switch drive currents
(PGND) The matter is complex and only few im-
portant points will be here reminded.
1) All current returns (signal ground, power
ground, shielding, etc.) should be routed sepa-
rately and should be connected only at a single
ground point.
Typical values for VT1 and VT2 are 2.5 V and 4V
respectively. This 1.5V hysteresis is enough to
prevent undesired frequency change up to a 5.5
to 1 fosc/ fSB ratio.
The value of VT1 is such that in a discontinuous
flyback the standby frequency is activated when
the input power is about 13% of the maximum. If
necessary, it is possible to decrease the power
threshold below 13% by adding a DC offset (Vo)
on the current sense pin (13, ISEN). This will also
allow a frequencychange greater than 5.5 to 1.
The following equations,useful for design, apply:
2) Noise coupling can be reduced by minimizing
the area circumscribed by current loops. This
applies particularly to loops where high pulsed
currentsflow.
3) For high current paths, the traces should be
doubled on the other side of the PCB whenever
possible: this will reduce both the resistance
and the inductanceof the wiring.

5) In general, traces carrying signal currents
should run far from traces carrying pulsed cur-
rents or with quickly swinging voltages. From
this viewpoint, particular care should be taken
of the high impedance points (current sense in-
put, feedback input, ...). It could be a good idea
to route signal traces on one PCB side and
power traceson the other side.
