General Description
The HV9606 PWM controller allows the design of high efficiency
(>90%) power supplies for distributed board mounted power (BMP)
applications. Due to its low internal operating voltage and current,
the HV9606 is able to achieve high efficiencies in low power
applications.
The HV9606 utilizes fixed frequency current mode control with duty
cycle internally limited to <50%. It supports both isolated and non-
isolated topologies and provides all the necessary functions to
implement a flyback, forward or synchronous forward converter
with a minimum of external parts. Due to its low V
DD
operation the
bootstrap magnetic winding is eliminated in non-isolated
topologies. An on chip charge pump generates the gate drive
voltage for driving an external N-channel MOSFET and eliminates
the need for clamping by offering 250V immunity to high voltage
transients common in telecom and network systems. It conforms
to the requirements of IEEE 802.3 Powered Ethernet and ETR-080
ISDN specifications.
The oscillator is programmable and provides fault tolerant peer-to-
peer synchronization to other similar circuits or master clock. The
chip draws almost no current (<6µA @ V
IN
< 20V) until the
programmable START/STOP thresholds of the start-up regulator
are satisfied. It can also be powered via the V
DD
pin, rather than
the V
IN
pin, in the range of 2.9V to 5.5V.
Other functions include leading edge current sense blanking,
programmable SOFT START, precision
±1%
band gap reference
and a SUPERVISOR CIRCUIT. The SUPERVISOR can provide
housekeeping functions such as
µP
supply monitoring and reset,
soft start inhibit for rapid restart on short duration input voltage
interruption. It also minimizes input and output capacitance
requirements.

SYNC –
This I/O pin may be connected to the SYNC pin of other
HV9606 circuits and will cause the oscillators to lock to the highest
frequency oscillator. Synchronization to a master clock is possible
by means of an open collector or open drain logic gate or
optocoupler, provided the low duty cycle does not exceed 50%. If
synchronization is utilized then a pull up resistor to V
DD
is required
to overcome the effects of parasitic capacitance on the circuit
board. The value of the resistor required will depend on the
operating frequency and master clock duty cycle.
RT –
The resistor connected from this pin to SGND sets the
frequency of the internal oscillator by setting the charging current
for the internal timing capacitor. The PWM output frequency is one
half the oscillator frequency.
SGND –
Common connection for all Logic and Analog circuits.
PGND –
Common connection for Gate Driver circuit.
CS –
This is the current sense input. Under normal operation the
over current limit is triggered when the voltage on this pin exceeds
0.5*V
REF
, however, current sensing is blanked during the first 85ns
on time of the MOSFET to prevent false triggering during the turn
on switching transition. The loop control operating peak current
sense may be set to any level below 0.5*V
REF
.
GATE –
This push-pull CMOS output is designed to drive the gate
of an N-Channel power MOSFET.
VX2 –
This is the supply pin for the Gate Driver circuit and is
generated by the Charge Pump V
DD
voltage doubler circuit. It
should be bypassed to PGND with a capacitor, typically 0.1µF.
CA and CB –
The charge pump circuit uses a capacitor (typically
0.01µF) connected between these pins to generate the VX2
voltage.
NI –
High impedance non-inverting input of the error amplifier.
COMP –
The output of the error amplifier.
FB –
High impedance inverting input of the error amplifier.
SENSE –
This is the input pin to the supervisory circuit. On a
rising input voltage the circuit changes state at a nominal 0.85V
REF
+ 0.075V. When the input voltage is decaying the circuit changes
state a nominal 0.85V
REF
– 0.075V.
STATUS
– This is the output of the supervisory circuit. When the
sense-input voltage is high, this output is pulled up to V
DD
by a
10µA current source and the Soft Start function is disabled. When
the sense-input is low, this output is pulled low and it may be used
to directly control the reset of a microprocessor or it may be used
to drive an optocoupler or LED indicator.

Pin Description
V
DD
–
This is the supply pin for the PWM Logic and Analog circuits.
When the input voltage to the V
IN
pin exceeds the start voltage the
input regulator seeks to regulate the voltage on the capacitor
connected to this pin to a nominal 2.9V. After the PWM has
started, the bootstrap supply will regulate this voltage to a nominal
3.3V or 5V. With V
IN
connected to PGND the circuit can be
powered via this pin in the voltage range of 2.9V to 5.5V with a
nominal 2.8V UVLO.
START
– The resistive divider from V
IN
sets the start-up regulator
start voltage.
STOP
– The resistive divider from V
IN
sets the start-up regulator
stop voltage.
A low power sleep mode function may be
implemented by pulling this pin to SGND.
V
IN
–
This is the startup linear regulator input. It can accept DC
input voltages in the range of 15V to 250V. With START and
STOP programmed to more than 20V, the leakage current on this
pin is less than 6µA at V
IN
= 20V.
VREF –
This pin provides a
±1%
tolerance reference voltage.
SS
– A capacitor connected to this pin determines the soft start
time. Soft start may be initiated by a low VX2 voltage or an over
current condition when supervisor circuit STATUS output is low.
During short duration input interruptions when the output voltage
does not decay below programmed limits, the supervisor circuit
inhibits soft start to permit rapid recovery of the system.

Functional Description
The HV9606 is composed of several functional blocks. The
operation of each of these blocks is described in the following
sections.
Programmable Start/Stop Control Circuit
(Programmable Under Voltage Lockout and Hysteresis)
The START/STOP control circuit is a novel version of a
programmable under voltage lockout with programmable
hysteresis circuit. It is novel, because it requires zero power (other
than the current in the resistor divider) and keeps the startup
regulator shut down until the START threshold voltage is
exceeded, allowing the HV9606 to achieve its low input leakage
current of <6µA.
One can think of the circuit as a transparent latch, such that its
output is high when the START pin is above its threshold voltage
and is latched when the STOP pin is at a voltage greater than the
START pin voltage. It is unlatched when the STOP pin voltage
falls below its threshold voltage and the START pin is below its
threshold voltage.
These operating conditions are met by using a voltage divider
consisting of three resistors (see typical application circuit). The
voltage drop on the resistor connected to ground controls the
START voltage and the additional voltage drop on the middle
resistor sets the hysteresis and controls the STOP voltage. Setting
the value of the middle resistor to zero results in zero hysteresis.
Provided the START and STOP pin input currents are negligible in
comparison to the chosen resistor divider current, the resistor
values may be calculated using the following equations:
R3 = (V
START
/ V
IN-Start
) x (V
IN-Stop
/ I
Resistor
)
R2 = [(V
STOP
/ V
IN-Stop
) x (V
IN-Stop
/ I
Resistor
)] – R3
R1 = (V
IN-Operating
/ I
Resistor
) - R2 - R3
Where:
V
START
is the START pin threshold voltage (nominal 7V)
V
STOP
is the STOP pin threshold voltage (nominal 7V)
V
IN-Start
is the input voltage at which starting is desired
V
IN-Stop
is the input voltage at which shutdown is desired
I
Resistor
is the resistor divider current (>1µA)
