4. Self Auto-Restart: The FSFR-HS series can restart
automatically even though any built-in protections are
triggered in case external supply voltage is applied. As
shown in Figure 22 and Figure 23; once a protection is
triggered, the power MOSFET immediately stops. The
counter starts to operate and 1008-clocks are counted,
then the V-I converter is disabled. C
SS
starts to be naturally
discharged with the series impedance of R
SS
and R
min
until
V
RT
drops to V
RT,RESET
, typically 0.1 V. Then, all protections
are reset and the V-I converter resumes. The FSFR-HS
starts switching again with soft-start.
The counter operating time for 1008-clocks after
protection activation is set by the current out of the RT
pin until V
RT
drops to V
RT,RESET
. Finally, the stop time of
FSFR-HS can be estimated, without considering the
counter operation time, as:

5. Protection Circuits: The FSFR-HS series has several
self-protective functions; such as Over-Current Protection
(OCP), Abnormal Over-Current Protection (AOCP), Over-
Voltage Protection (OVP), Thermal Shutdown (TSD), and
Line Under-Voltage Lockout (LUVLO or Brownout).
These protections are Auto-Restart Mode protections, as
shown in Figure 24.
Once a fault condition is detected, switching is instantly
terminated and the MOSFETs remain off. When LV
CC
falls
to the LV
CC
stop voltage of 10 V and V
RT
is lower than
V
RT,RESET
of 0.1 V, the protection is reset. The FSFR-HS
resumes normal operation when LV
CC
reaches the start
voltage of 12.5 V.
Figure 24. Protection Blocks
5.1 Over-Current Protection (OCP): When the
sensing pin voltage drops below -0.58 V and its
duration becomes more than OCP blanking time of
1.5 µs, OCP is triggered and the MOSFETs remain off.
5.2 Abnormal Over-Current Protection (AOCP):
If the secondary rectifier diodes are shorted, large
current with extremely high di/dt can flow through the
MOSFET before OCP is triggered. AOCP is triggered
without shutdown delay if the sensing pin voltage drops
below -0.9 V.
5.3 Over-Voltage Protection (OVP): When the LV
CC
reaches 23 V, OVP is triggered. This protection is used
when auxiliary winding of the transformer supplies V
CC
to the FPS™.
5.4 Thermal Shutdown (TSD): The MOSFETs and
the control IC in one package make it easier for the
control IC to detect the abnormal over-temperature of
the MOSFETs. If the temperature exceeds
approximately 130°C, thermal shutdown triggers.
6. Line Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO): FSFR-HS
includes precise line UVLO (or brownout) with
programmable hysteresis voltage. This function can start
or restart the IC when V
LS
for the scale-down voltage of
the DC-link by the sensing resistors, R1 and R2, is higher
than V
LINE
of 2.5 V as the DC-link voltage increases and
vice versa. A hysteresis voltage between the start and
stop voltage of the IC is programmable by I
LINE
. In normal
operation, the comparator’s output is HIGH and I
LINE
is
deactivated so that a voltage on LS pin, V
LS,
can be
obtained as a divided voltage by R1 and R2. On the
contrary, I
LINE
is activated when the comparator’s output
is LOW. V
LS
is generated by the difference between the
current through R1 and I
LINE
.
