Primary Side PWM Controller
Features
Description
The AS2214 is a full featured, pulse width modulation
controller. Based on an improved AS3842, the AS2214
provides additional features that reduce component count
and improve specifications in a wide range of power supply
designs. The added functionality includes AC power and
bulk voltage sensing, over-voltage input, as well as the ability
to latch off or bounce through different fault conditions.
The PWM function is controlled by the current sense com-
parator for normal current mode control and a second
comparator for voltage mode soft start. A buffered RAMP
signal is available for slope compensation without loading
the oscillator. The output stage is a high current totem pole
output that sees only 85 ns delay from the PWM comparator.
The AS2214 requires less than 10µA of startup current. The
undervoltage lockout (UVLO) thresholds are nominally 13.8V
for turn on and 8 V for turn off. A precision 2.5 V bandgap
reference serves as an input for the error amplifier. The
oscillator discharge current is trimmed to provide guaran-
teed duty cycle clamping.

Positive supply voltage for the IC.
Output of 5V series regulator.
This pin is the error amplifier output. Typically used to provide loop compensation to
maintain V
FB
at 2.5 V.
Inverting input of the error amplifier. The non-inverting input is a trimmed 2.5 V
bandgap reference.
A voltage proportional to inductor current is connected to this pin. The PWM uses this
information to terminate the gate drive of the output.
This pin provides a 6µA current source to linearly charge an external capacitor. This pin
is compared to the RAMP pin in the soft start comparator, terminating output pulses when
RAMP goes above the SS voltage.
This pin is a level-shifted and buffered oscillator signal used to provide slope compensa-
tion to the current sense signal. The pin also serves as the non-inverting input of the soft-
start comparator.
Oscillator frequency and maximum duty cycle are set by connecting a resistor (R
T
) to
VREG and a capacitor (C
T
) to ground.
This pin latches SS low when pulled above 2.5 V. The latch can be reset by pulling
OV above 4 V then back to ground.
This pin detects the presence of AC signal and drives LEN high.
This pin must be high to enable starting. The pin can also clear all latches by going low
then high.
This pin monitors the bulk voltage through a resistor divider and, when BOK exceeds
2.5 V, provides a 50µA current source for hysteresis. When BOK drops below 2.5V, SS
is pulled low and the hysteresis current is turned off. Auto-restart after a brown-out is
possible.
Circuit common ground.
This totem pole output is designed to directly drive a power MOSFET switch capable of
sourcing and sinking peak currents up to 1 A.
