VIPER37 Efficiency performances for a typical flyback converter The efficiency of the converter has been measured in different load and line voltage conditions. In accordance with the ENERGY STAR® average active mode testing efficiency method, the efficiency measurements have been performed at 25%, 50% and 75% and 100% of the rated output power, at both 115 VAC and 230 VAC.

VIPER37 8 Operation description Operation description The device is a high-performance low-voltage PWM controller chip with an 800 V avalanche rugged power section. The controller includes: the oscillator with jittering feature, the startup circuits with soft-start feature, the PWM logic, the current limit circuit with adjustable set point, the second overcurrent circuit, the burst mode management, the brownout circuit, the UVLO circuit, the auto-restart circuit, and the thermal protection circuit.
Operation description 8.3 VIPER37 Power-up and soft-start If the input voltage rises up to the device start threshold VDRAIN_START, the VDD voltage begins to grow due to the IDDch current (see Table 7) coming from the internal high voltage startup circuit. If the VDD voltage reaches the VDDon threshold (see Table 7), the Power MOSFET starts switching and the HV current generator is turned off (see Figure 25).

Timing diagram: soft-start I DRAIN tss IDlim t V FB V FBolp V FBlin t 8.4 Power down operation At converter power down, the system loses regulation as soon as the input voltage is so low that the peak current limitation is reached. The VDD voltage drops and when it falls below the VDDoff threshold (see Table 7) the Power MOSFET is switched OFF, the energy transfers to the IC interrupted and consequently the VDD voltages decrease, Figure 25.

In both cases the switching frequency is modulated by approximately ±4 kHz (60 kHz version) or ±8 kHz (115 kHz version) at a 250 Hz (typ.
Operation description 8.8 VIPER37 Overvoltage protection (OVP) The device can monitor the converter output voltage. This operation is done by the CONT pin during Power MOSFET OFF-time, when the voltage generated by the auxiliary winding tracks the converter's output voltage, through turn ratio N (see Figure 28). AUX -------------N SEC In order to perform the output voltage monitor, the CONT pin must be connected to the aux.
VIPER37 Operation description The resistor values are such that the current sourced and sunk by the CONT pin are within the rated capability of the internal clamp. Figure 28.

RLIM must be fixed before ROVP. 8.10 Feedback and overload protection (OLP) The device is a current mode converter: the feedback pin controls the PWM operation, controls the burst mode, and actives the overload protection.
VIPER37 Operation description After the startup time, tSS, during which the feedback voltage is fixed at VFBlin, the output capacitor may not be at its nominal value and the controller interprets this situation as an overload condition. In this case, the OLP delay helps to avoid an incorrect device shutdown during the startup phase.

The brownout comparator is internally referenced to VBRth,Table 8, and disables the PWM if the voltage applied at the BR pin is below this internal reference.

VIPER37 Operation description In order to enable the brownout function, the BR pin voltage must be higher than the maximum VDIS threshold (150 mV), see Table 8. 8.13 2nd level overcurrent protection and hiccup mode The device is protected against short-circuit of the secondary rectifier, short-circuit on the secondary winding, or a hard-saturation of the flyback transformer. Such an anomalous condition is invoked when the drain current exceeds the threshold IDMAX (see Table 8).
