NCP1937
Combination Power Factor
Correction and Quasi-
Resonant Flyback
Controllers for Adapters
This combination IC integrates power factor correction (PFC) and
quasi−resonant flyback functionality necessary to implement a
compact and highly efficient Switched Mode Power Supply for an
adapter application.
The PFC stage exhibits near−unity power factor while operating in a
Critical Conduction Mode (CrM) with a maximum frequency clamp.
The circuit incorporates all the features necessary for building a robust
and compact PFC stage while minimizing the number of external
components.
The quasi−resonant current−mode flyback stage features a
proprietary valley−lockout circuitry, ensuring stable valley switching.
This system works down to the 4
th
valley and toggles to a frequency
foldback mode with a minimum frequency clamp beyond the 4
th
valley to eliminate audible noise. Skip mode operation allows
excellent efficiency in light load conditions while consuming very low
standby power consumption.

Function
High voltage startup circuit input. It is also used to discharge the input filter capacitors.
Removed for creepage distance.
Performs brown−out detection for the whole IC and it is also used to discharge the input filter capacitors
and detect the line voltage range.
Removed for creepage distance.
Output of the PFC transconductance error amplifier. A compensation network is connected between this
pin and ground to set the loop bandwidth.
A resistor between this pin and ground sets the PFC turn off threshold. The voltage on this pin is com-
pared to an internal voltage signal proportional to the output power. The PFC disable threshold is de-
termined by the resistor on this pin and the internal pull–up current source, I
PONOFF
.
An external capacitor sets the frequency in VCO mode for the QR flyback controller.
The controller enters fault mode if the voltage of this pin is pulled above or below the fault thresholds. A
precise pull up current source allows direct interface with an NTC thermistor. Fault detection triggers a
latch or auto−recovery depending on device option.
Power savings mode (PSM) control and timer adjust. Compatible with an optocoupler for secondary con-
trol of PSM. The device enters PSM if the voltage on this pin exceeds the PSM threshold, V
PS_in
. A capa-
citor between this pin and GND sets the delay time before the controller enters power savings mode.
Once the controller enters power savings mode the IC is disabled and the current consumption is re-
duced to a maximum of 70
mA.
The input filter capacitor discharge function is available while in power
savings mode. The controller is enabled once V
PSTimer
drops below V
PS_out
.
Feedback input for the QR Flyback controller. Allows direct connection to an optocoupler.
Input to the demagnetization detection comparator for the QR Flyback controller. Also used to set the
overpower compensation.
Supply input.
Input to the cycle−by−cycle current limit comparator for the QR Flyback section.
QR flyback controller switch driver.
PFC controller switch driver.
Input to the cycle−by−cycle current limit comparator for the PFC section. Also used to perform the de-
magnetization detection for the PFC controller.
Ground reference.
Low voltage PFC feedback input. An external resistor divider is used to sense the PFC bulk voltage. The
divider low side resistor connects to this pin. This voltage is compared to an internal reference. The refer-
ence voltage is 2.5 V at low line and 4 V at high line. An internal high−voltage switch disconnects the low
side resistor from the high side resistor chain when the PFC is disabled in order to reduce input power.
Removed for creepage distance.
PFBHV
High voltage PFC feedback input. An external resistor divider is used to sense the PFC bulk voltage. The
divider high side resistor chain from the PFC bulk voltage connects to this pin. An internal high−voltage
switch disconnects the high side resistor chain from the low side resistor when the PFC is disabled in
order to reduce input power.

Stresses exceeding those listed in the Maximum Ratings table may damage the device. If any of these limits are exceeded, device functionality
should not be assumed, damage may occur and reliability may be affected.
1. V
PCS/PZCD(MAX)
is the maximum voltage of the pin shown in the electrical table. When the voltage on this pin exceeds 5 V, the pin sinks
a current equal to (V
PCS/PZCD
− 5 V) / (2 kW). A V
PSC/PZCD
of 7 V generates a sink current of approximately 1 mA.
2. Maximum driver voltage is limited by the driver clamp voltage, V
XDRV(high)
, when V
CC
exceeds the driver clamp voltage. Otherwise, the
maximum driver voltage is V
CC
.
3. Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which damage to the device may occur. Exposure to these conditions or conditions beyond
those indicated may adversely affect device reliability. Functional operation under absolute maximum–rated conditions is not implied.
Functional operation should be restricted to the Recommended Operating Conditions.
4. This device contains Latch−Up protection and exceeds
±
100 mA per JEDEC Standard JESD78.
5. Low Conductivity Board. As mounted on 80 x 100 x 1.5 mm FR4 substrate with a single layer of 50 mm
2
of 2 oz copper traces and heat
spreading area. As specified for a JEDEC51−1 conductivity test PCB. Test conditions were under natural convection of zero air flow.
6. Pins 1, 3, and 20 are rated to the maximum voltage of the part, or 700 V.
