is the peak high reference voltage

8.3 Leading-Edge Blanking (LEB)
The controller has a fixed LEB of 325 ns to avoid wrong detection of the primary peak
current.
8.4 dV/dt detection
The end of demagnetization is detected when the voltage on the sense pin is <50 mV.
8.5 Turn-off-time (t
off
)
A blanking time is applied at the beginning of t
off
during t
blank
time to observe the
demagnetization.
8.6 Supply concepts VCC and UnderVoltage LockOut (UVLO)
An integrated Junction gate Field-Effect Transistor (JFET), connected to the drain voltage,
provides the start-up current.
The IC starts switching when the voltage on pin VCC exceeds the V
CC(startup)
level. After
start-up, an external supply is required, which an auxiliary winding connection can
provide. When the voltage on pin VCC drops below the V
CC(UVLO)
level, the IC stops
switching and is reset.
Design the voltage of the auxiliary winding to ensure that the VCC supply voltage has a
U
max
value of
29 V
8.7 Peak current detection
The cycle-by-cycle peak drain current limit circuit uses the external source resistor
R
SOURCE
to measure the primary peak current. The circuit is activated after the leading
edge blanking time. The protection circuit limits the source voltage over resistor R
SOURCE
to V
th(det)SOURCE
, thus limiting the primary peak current.
8.8 LED OverTemperature Protection (OTP)
An external temperature dependent resistor can be applied for LED over temperature
protection.
8.9 LED Output Short-circuit Protection (OSP)
When the output short-circuit protection is activated, the IC enters shutdown mode. Only a
power-on reset (switching off the mains voltage) activates normal operation.
8.10 Output LED open-circuit protection
If an open circuit occurs on the LEDs, the output voltage increases at each cycle of the
AC/DC converter. Energy is no longer transferred to the LEDs. The energy accumulated
at the primary side is transferred to the supply of the IC via the auxiliary winding. The IC
