GENERAL DESCRIPTION
SF1531S is a high performance, high efficiency, low
cost, highly integrated current mode PWM controller
for offline flyback converter applications.
PWM switching frequency with shuffling is externally
programmable, which can reduce conduction EMI
emission of a power supply. When the output power
demands decrease, the IC decreases switching
TM
frequency based on the proprietary
η
-Balance
control to boost power conversion efficiency at the
light load. When the current set-point falls below a
given value, e.g. the output power demand
diminishes, the IC enters into burst mode and
provides excellent efficiency without audio noise.
SF1531S can achieve “Zero
OCP/OPP Recovery
Gap”
using SiFirst’s proprietary control algorithm.
Meanwhile, the OCP/OPP variation versus universal
line input is compensated.
The IC has built-in synchronized slope compensation
to prevent sub-harmonic oscillation at high PWM duty
output. The IC also has built-in soft start function to
soften the stress on the MOSFET during power on
period.
SF1531S integrates functions and protections of
Under Voltage Lockout (UVLO), VCC Over Voltage
Protection (OVP), Cycle-by-cycle Current Limiting
(OCP), All Pins Floating Protection, Over Load
Protection (OLP), RT Pin Short-to-GND Protection,
Gate Clamping, VCC Clamping, Leading Edge
Blanking (LEB).
SF1531S is available in SOT23-6, DIP-8 packages.

Description
Ground
Voltage feedback pin. The loop regulation is achieved by connecting a
photo-coupler to this pin. PWM duty cycle is determined by this pin voltage
and the current sense signal at Pin 3.
Set the switching frequency by connecting a resistor between RT and
GND. This pin has floating/short-to-GND protection.
Current sense input pin.
IC power supply pin.
Totem-pole gate driver output to drive the external MOSFET.
