APPLICATION NOTE
90W SMPS FOR MONITORS WITH STANDBY FUNCTION
by Claudio Adragna
Purpose of this note is to provide a brief summary of the specifications and the functionality of the ap-
plication board implementing a 90W multioutput SMPS for monitors, based on the L5991, current
mode PWM controller.
Evaluation results are also presented so as to underline the benefits offered by the L5991 in such a
new generation of SMPS that requires a superior efficiency in standby conditions, aiming at compli-
ance with energy saving standards.

The selected topology is flyback. The operation mode (@ Pout = 90W ) is CCM (Continuous Conduction
Mode) at low mains voltage, DCM (Discontinuous Conduction Mode) at high mains voltage. This design
choice relieves the stress on the power components at low mains voltage, compared with a full DCM so-
lution.
The application will benefit from the features of the L5991 PWM controller in order to minimise the power
drawn from the mains under light load conditions: low start-up and quiescent currents, and Standby
function.

AN1132 APPLICATION NOTE
Application Board Functionality
The outstanding feature of this application board is the so-called Standby Function, directly available
from the L5991. When the power demanded by the load is roughly included between 40 and 90 W (Nor-
mal mode) the switching frequency of the converter is set at 40 kHz. When the monitor enters in low-
consumption mode (Suspend or OFF mode), the power demanded by the load will be much lower, few
Watts. The L5991 will automatically recognise this new operating condition and change the oscillator fre-
quency to 18 kHz. The capacitor C6, along with the parallel of R19 and R20, sets f
osc
; f
SB
is set by C6
and R20.
If the user would like to fine tune the power level that causes the switching frequency to be moved from
f
osc
to f
SB
(P
inSB
), he or she can add a fixed DC offset (typically in the range 0-200 mV) on the current
sense pin (13, ISEN). This can be accomplished by means of R17, currently not used. The offset will be
the partition of the reference voltage (pin 4, VREF) through R17 and R13.
To change the power level that causes the switching frequency to be moved from f
SB
to f
osc
(P
inNW
), the
ratio f
osc
/ f
SB
should be changed.
R10 and R11 allow to provide an additional DC offset on the current sense which depends on the supply
input voltage. This can be used for compensating L5991’s delay to output. In the present case the delay
is not compensated (R10 and R11 are not assembled) and the effect is a slight dependence of P
inSB
and P
inNW
on the mains voltage (see table 7). This is reinforced by the slope compensation circuit (Q3
and R33), which adds a little offset (variable with the duty cycle) on the current sense pin.
Additionally, the board includes some protection functions tipically required, not only in monitor applica-
tions, such as overvoltage (OVP) and overcurrent protection (OCP).
OCP is inherent in the functionality of the L5991: the controller provides both pulse-by-pulse and "hic-
cup" mode current limitation (see Application Information in the datasheet), which fully protect the con-
verter in case of overload or short circuit.
The OVP, in this specific case, is realised by sensing the supply voltage of the L5991 (generated by the
auxiliary winding) through the divider R7-R8 and feeding this partition into pin 14 (DIS). The divider ratio
is such that the OVP is tripped when the supply voltage exceeds 20V. This protection is particularly ef-
fective in case of feedback disconnection.
At maximum load and minimum mains voltage the converter operates at about 55% duty cycle (this is
why slope compensation is required) but no limitation is imposed on its maximum value: L5991’s pin3
(DC) is shorted to pin 4 (VREF). If desired, it is possible to set the maximum duty cycle by adding the di-
vider R34-R35. Please refer to Application Information in L5991 datasheet for calculation of the voltage
divider.
The application board is supplied with a start-up circuit simply made of a dropping resistor (R2+R3) that
draws current from upstream the bridge rectifier.
