NCP1231
Low−Standby Power High
Performance PWM
Controller
The NCP1231 represents a major leap towards achieving low
standby power in medium−to−high power Switched−Mode Power
Supplies such as notebook adapters, off−line battery chargers and
consumer electronics equipment. Housed in SOIC−8 or PDIP−8, the
NCP1231 contains all needed control functionality to build a rugged
and efficient power supply. Among the unique features offered by the
NCP1231 is an event management scheme that can disable the
front−end PFC circuit during standby, thus reducing the no load power
consumption. The NCP1231 itself goes into cycle skipping at light
loads while limiting peak current (to 25% of nominal peak) so that no
acoustic noise is generated and while in the skip cycle mode.
The NCP1231 also features an internal latching function that can be
used for Overvoltage Protection (OVP). The latch is triggered when
the voltage on Pin 8 rises above 4.0 V. During an OVP condition, the
output drive pulses are immediately stopped and the NCP1231 stays in
the latched off condition until V
CC
drops below 4.0 V (V
CCreset
). In
addition, Pin 8 also serves as a Brown−Out input which provides the
necessary safety feature when the SMPS faces low mains situations.

Pin Name

Function
Directly powers the PFC

Pin Description
This pin is a direct connection to the V
CC
pin (Pin 6) via a low impedance switch.
In standby and during the startup sequence, the switch is open and the PFC V
CC
is shutdown. As soon as the aux. winding is stabilized, Pin 1 connects to the V
CC
pin and provides bias to the PFC controller. It goes down in standby and fault
conditions.
An optocoupler collector pulls this pin low to regulate. When the current setpoint
falls below 25% of the maximum peak, the controller skips cycles.
This pin incorporates two different functions: the standard sense function and an
internal ramp compensation signal.
−
With a drive capability of +500 mA /
−800
mA, the NCP1231 can drive large Qg
MOSFETs.
The controller accepts voltages up to 18 V and features a UVLO of 7.7 V typical.
This pin provides three different functions, via a capacitor to ground, saw tooth
signal whose function is to create a soft−start, frequency dithering and 100 msec
fault timer.
By connecting this pin to a resistive divider, the controller ensures operation at a
safe mains level. If an external event brings this pin above 4 V, the controller is
permanently latched−off.
