Current-Mode PWM
Controller for Off-line
Power Supplies
The NCP1251 is a highly integrated PWM controller capable of
delivering a rugged and high performance offline power supply in a
tiny TSOP6 package. With a supply range up to 28 V, the controller
hosts a jittered 65 kHz or 100 kHz switching circuitry operated in peak
current mode control. When the power on the secondary side starts to
decrease, the controller automatically folds back its switching
frequency down to a minimum level of 26 kHz. As the power further
goes down, the part enters skip cycle while limiting the peak current.
Over Power Protection (OPP) is a difficult exercise especially when
noload standby requirements drive the converter specifications. The
ON proprietary integrated OPP lets you harness the maximum
delivered power without affecting your standby performance simply
via two external resistors. A latched Over Voltage Protection (OVP) is
combined on the same pin. For ease of implementation, a latched OVP
also monitors the VCC line. They offer an efficient protection in case
of optocoupler destruction or adverse open loop operation.
Finally, a timerbased shortcircuit protection offers the best
protection scheme, letting you precisely select the protection trip point
irrespective of a loose coupling between the auxiliary and the power
windings.

enough current (30 mA) at low line will turn a converter in
fault into an auto-recovery mode since the SCR wont
remain latched. To build a sufficient design margin, we
recommend to keep at least 60 mA flowing at the lowest input
line (80 V rms for 85 V minimum for instance). An excellent
solution is to actually combine X2 discharge and start-up
networks as proposed in Figure 13 of application note

fixes the maximum peak current set point to 0.8 V even if the
OPP pin is inadvertently biased above 0 V.

First, calculate the OPP network with the above equations.
Then, suppose we want to latch off our controller when Vout
exceeds 25 V. On the auxiliary winding, the plateau reflects
the output voltage by the turns ratio between the power and
the auxiliary winding. In case of voltage runaway for our
19 V adapter, the plateau will go up to:
