Functional Description
Version 2.3 14 19 Nov 2012
voltage level determines the maximum power level in
Active Burst Mode.
Furthermore, the comparator C11 is implemented to
detect dangerous current levels which could occur if
there is a short winding in the transformer or the
secondary diode is shorten. To ensure that there is no
accidentally entering of the Latched Mode by the
comparator C11, a 190ns spike blanking time is
integrated in the output path of comparator C11.

Figure 18 Leading Edge Blanking
Whenever the internal CoolMOS
®
is switched on, a
leading edge spike is generated due to the primary-
side capacitances and reverse recovery time of the
secondary-side rectifier. This spike can cause the gate
drive to switch off unintentionally. In order to avoid a
premature termination of the switching pulse, this spike
is blanked out with a time constant of t
LEB
= 220ns.
3.6.2 Propagation Delay Compensation
In case of overcurrent detection, there is always
propagation delay to switch off the internal CoolMOS
®
.
An overshoot of the peak current I
peak
is induced to the
delay, which depends on the ratio of dI/dt of the peak
current (see Figure 19).

The overshoot of Signal2 is larger than of Signal1 due
t
o the steeper rising waveform. This change in the
slope is depending on the AC input voltage.
Propagation Delay Compensation is integrated to
reduce the overshoot due to dI/dt of the rising primary
current. Thus the propagation delay time between
exceeding the current sense threshold V
csth
and the
switching off of the integrated internal CoolMOS
®
is
compensated over temperature within a wide range.
Current Limiting is then very accurate.
For example, I

= 0.5A with R

= 2. The current
sense threshold is set to a static voltage level V

without Propagation Delay Compensation. A current
ramp of dI/dt = 0.4A/µs, or dV
Sense
/dt = 0.8V/µs, and a
propagation delay time of t
Propagation Delay
=180ns leads
to an I
peak
overshoot of 14.4%. With the propagation
delay compensation, the overshoot is only around 2%
(see Figure 20).

The Propagation Delay Compensation is realized by
me
ans of a dynamic threshold voltage V
csth
(see Figure
21). In case of a steeper slope the switch off of the
driver is earlier to compensate the delay.
