Current-Mode PWM
Controller for Off-line
Power Supplies featuring
Peak Power Excursion
The NCP1255 is a highly integrated PWM controller capable of
delivering a rugged and high performance offline power supply in a
SOIC−8 package. With a supply range up to 35 V, the controller hosts a
jittered 65−kHz switching circuitry operated in peak current mode
control. When the power on the secondary side starts to decrease, the
controller automatically folds back its switching frequency down to a
minimum level of 26 kHz. As the power further goes down, the part
enters skip cycle while freezing the peak current setpoint.
To help build rugged converters, the controller features several key
protective features: a brown−out, a non−dissipative Over Power
Protection for a constant maximum output current regardless of the
input voltage, two latched over voltage protection inputs
−
either
through a dedicated pin or via the V
cc
input
−
and finally, the
possibility to externally adjust an auto−recovery timer duration.
The controller architecture is arranged to authorize a transient peak
power excursion when the peak current hits the limit. At this point, the
switching frequency is increased from 65 kHz to 130 kHz until the
peak requirement disappears. The timer duration is then modulated as
the converter crosses a peak power excursion mode (long) or
undergoes a short circuit (short).

Pin Description
A resistive divider from the auxiliary winding to this pin sets the
OPP compensation level. When brought above 3 V, the part is fully
latched off.
Hooking an optocoupler collector to this pin will allow regulation.
This pin monitors the primary peak current but also offers a means
to introduce ramp compensation.
The controller ground.
The driver’s output to an external MOSFET gate.
This pin is connected to an external auxiliary voltage and supplies
the controller. When above a certain level, the part fully latches off.
A voltage below the programmed level stops the controller. When
above, the controller can start.
A 22−kW resistor sets the duration to 200 ms. When shorted to
ground or made open, this pin limits the internal current and fixes
the timer duration.
