AP3118 Operation Description (continued) Built-In Slope Compensation It is well known that a continuous current mode SMPS may become unstable when the duty cycle exceeds 50%. The built-in slope compensation in the AP3118 can keep the system stable. Built-In VCC LDO The AP3118 integrates a VCC LDO circuitry, the LDO regulates the wide range VCC_IN which is rectified from auxiliary winding to an acceptable value. It makes the AP3118 a good choice in wide range output voltage application. Brown In/Out Protection To avoid potential high -current stress at low line voltage, the AP3118 introduces a reliable brownout protection. The AC line voltage is detected through HV pin, A pair of high -voltage diodes are connected to the AC line which will rectify the AC input voltage to a double -frequency positive voltage referring to GND. A 20kΩ resistor is recommended to be added to improve the surge immunity. When the voltage across HV pin is higher than VBR-IN for about 100µs of tBR-IN and VCC reaches VST, the GATE pin will output drive signals and the system starts to work. If the HV pin voltage falls below VBR-OUT and lasts for 50ms of tBR-OUT, the GATE pin will turn off and the system will shut down until the line voltage rises over its brown- in voltage again. SOVP/SUVP Protection The AP3118 provides output OVP and UVP protection function. The auxiliary winding voltage during secondary rectifier conducting period reflects the output voltage. A voltage divide network is connected to the auxiliary winding and DEM Pin, the DEM Pin will detect the equivalent output voltage with a delay of tSAMPLE from the falling edge of GATE driver signal, as shown in Figure 8. The detected voltage will be compared to the SOVP and SUVP threshold voltage VTH-SOVP and VTH-SUVP. If the SOVP or SUVP threshold is reached continuously by 7 switching cycles, the SOVP or SUVP protection will be triggered, the AP3118 will shut down, and the system will restart when the VCC voltage falls below the UVLO voltage. To prevent false-trigger of SUVP during startup process, a blank time of tBLANK-SUVP is set during which the SUVP protection function is ignored. Two Levels of OCP Control The AP3118 set s two levels OCP protection thresholds to distinguish overload protection and short circuit protection. When overload conditio n occurs (8∗VCSM ∗tONS t >1.4𝑉), the internal timer begins to operate. After 120ms, IC enters into protection status. For short circuit protection (FB>4.2V), the internal timer is set to 30ms. Externally Triggered Protection The AP3118 reserves flexible protection mode for power design. The CTRL Pin can achieve external programmable protection. A high threshold of VTH-CTRL-H is set for any over voltage protection, if the CTRL Pin voltage is higher than the threshold for 7 switching cycles, the CTRL-High protection will be triggered. A low threshold of VTH-CTRL-L is usually used for external over temperature protection. To realize the external OTP, a proper value NTC should be connected from the CTRL Pin to the ground. An inner current of 100µA flows through the NTC from the CTRL pin. If the CTRL Pin voltage is lower than the VTH-CTRL-L for 32ms duration at least, the CTRL-Low protection will be triggered. Whenever the protection is triggered, the system will stop the output drive signal and will restart after the VCC voltage falling below the UVLO voltage. System Protection LOVP, FOCP, SSCP, VCC OVP, OTP The AP3118 provides versatile protection to ensure the reliability of the power system. LOVP achieves line voltage overvoltage protection, if the detected AC line voltage is higher than V LOVP for 7 switching cycles, the LOVP protection will be triggered. FOCP protection is an ultra -fast short- current protection which is helpful to avoid catastrophic damage of the system when the secondary rectifier is short. The pri mary peak current will be monitored by SENSE pin through a primary sense resistor, whenever the sampled voltage reaches the threshold of V TH-FOCP for 7 switching cycles continuously, the FOCP protection will be active to shut down the switching pulse. SSCP might be triggered at ultra-low line voltage condition or other failure condition that short the SENSE pin to ground. The SSCP module senses the voltage across the primary sense resistor with a delay of 4µ s after the rising edge of primary GATE signal, this sensed signal is compared with VTH-SSCP. If it is lower than VTH-SSCP for 7 switching cycles, the SSCP protection will be triggered and the drive signal will be disabled . All these protections described above will restart the system when the VCC voltage falls below UVLO. Although the external OTP can be easily implemented through CTRL pin , the AP3118 still reserves the inner OTP with a hysteresis for any necessary use.

AP3118 Operation Description (continued) VCC Maintain Mode During light-load or transient-load condition, VFB will drop and be lower than VBURST, thus the PWM drive signal will be stopped, and there is no energy transferring to the output . Therefore, the IC VCC supply voltage may decrease to the UVLO threshold voltage and system may enter the unexpected restart mode. To avoid this, the AP3118 holds a so-called VCC maintain mode which can supply energy to VCC. When VCC decreases to a setting threshold as VHOLD-ENTRY, the VCC maintain mode will be awaked and a charging current of ICHARGE-H will flow to the VCC Pin. With VCC maintain mode, the VCC is not easy to touch the shutdown threshold during the startup process and transient load condition. This will also simplify the system design. The minimum VCC voltage is suggested to be designed a little higher than VCC maintain threshold thus can achieve the best balance between the power loss and step load performance. Leading-Edge Blanking Time A narrow spike on the leading edge of the current waveform can usually be observed when the power MOSFET is turned on. A 250ns leading-edge blank is built-in to prevent the false-trigger caused by the turn-on spike. During this period, the current limit comparator and the PWM comparator are disabled and the gate driver cannot be switched off. At the time of turning off the MOSFET, a negative undershoot (maybe larger than -0.3V) can occur on the SENSE pin. So it is strongly recommended to add a small RC filter or at least connect a resistor “R” on this pin to protect the IC (Shown as Figure 8). SENSE GATE Large undershoot (more than -0.3V) may damage the SENSE pin R C Necessary Figure 8
