NCP1230A
Low−Standby Power Soft
Skip Mode Controller
The NCP1230A 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 a compact 8−pin package
(SO−8 or PDIP−7), the NCP1230A contains all needed control
functionality to build a rugged and efficient power supply. The
NCP1230A is a current mode controller with internal ramp
compensation. Among the unique features offered by the NCP1230A
is an event management scheme that can disable the front−end PFC
circuit during standby, thus reducing the no load power consumption.
The NCP1230A itself goes into soft skipping at light loads while
limiting peak current (to 25% of nominal peak) so that no acoustic
noise is generated. The NCP1230A has a high−voltage startup circuit
that eliminates external components and reduces power consumption.
The NCP1230A also features an internal latching function that can
be used for OVP protection. This latch is triggered by pulling the CS
pin above 3.0 V and can only be reset by pulling V
CC
to ground. True
overload protection, internal 2.5 ms soft−start, internal leading edge
blanking, internal frequency dithering for low EMI are some of the
other important features offered by the NCP1230A.

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
shut down. 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
reaches 25% of the maximum peak, the controller skips cycles.
This pin incorporates three different functions: the current sense function, an internal
ramp compensation signal and a 3.0 V latch−off level which latches the output off
until V
CC
is recycled.
−
With a drive capability of +500 mA / −800 mA, the NCP1230A can drive large Qg
MOSFETs.
The controller accepts voltages up to 18 V and features a UVLO turn−off threshold of
7.7 V typical.
−
This pin connects to the bulk voltage and offers a lossless startup sequence. The
charging current is high enough to support the bias needs of a PWM controller
through Pin 1.
