General Description
The Supertex HV9904 is a second order PWM controller designed
to provide a constant average current output or a constant average
voltage output from an input of 10V to 400V DC or directly from
rectified AC mains up to 280V. The second order topology is
capable of extremely high dynamic control range, allowing
operation directly from rectified AC mains without the need for
bulky and expensive high voltage input electrolytic capacitor.
The PWM control utilizes feed forward circuitry to compensate for
large variations in input voltage (i.e. rectified AC) and a novel
integrator lock loop PLL scheme to regulate a differentially sensed
feedback node where the signal may be discontinuous. This
feedback node could be a current sense resistor or divider from
regulated output voltage. For a constant load the switching
frequency will be nearly constant with a dither of a few kHz helping
to meet FCC conducted emissions requirements.
A high input voltage linear regulator provides a stable Vdd supply
for the internal circuitry and gate drive to the external MOSFET.
Under voltage lockout provides a power on reset and protection for
the MOSFET

The duty cycle of the oscillator output and thus the on time of the
MOSFET is determined by a feed forward circuit that sets the
maximum on time based on the instantaneous value of the input
voltage, thus avoiding core saturation of the magnetic elements.
The oscillator is initially operating at its lowest frequency and
continues to operate at this low frequency for several cycles to
assure that a stable equilibrium state is reached. After this initial
delay the feedback circuit is enabled and the oscillator frequency is
increased in small steps on oscillator cycles until the PWM output
(current or voltage) reaches the programmed value. Since the rate
of increase in frequency is a function of the frequency the oscillator
frequency will rise exponentially.
The differential sense circuit monitors the programming node
(voltage on current sense resistor for constant average current
control or voltage on resistive divider for constant average voltage
control) using an integrator lock loop feedback to obtain a stable
average value from even a discontinuous signal. As long as this
average value is less than 2.5V the oscillator frequency is
incremented. When the average value reaches 2.5V the oscillator
frequency incrementing is halted. If the average value exceeds
2.5V then the oscillator frequency is decremented. In this manner
the oscillator frequency is dithered to maintain output regulation
while the feed forward sensing of the input voltage maintains a
fixed value of energy transfer per oscillator cycle.
Line regulation is controlled by the instantaneous feed forward
sensing of the input voltage, thus the PWM can easily track a full
wave rectified sine wave of input voltage at 50Hz, 60Hz or 400Hz
provided that the capacitor connected at Vdd can store sufficient
energy to prevent decay below the UVLO threshold during the time
when the resulting input voltage at +Vin is below 10V. For a 50Hz
rectified sine wave a 1µF capacitor connected to Vdd is sufficient
to guarantee stable operation at 50Hz.
Load regulation is controlled via the feedback sensing circuit by
adjusting the oscillator frequency to maintain average energy
transfer consistent with the load conditions. For relatively stable
load conditions this method achieves excellent regulation. For a
constant load the switching frequency will be nearly constant with a
dither of a few kHz helping to meet FCC conducted emissions
requirements.

Functional Description
On initial power application the high input voltage (10V to 400V)
linear regulator charges the capacitor connected to Vdd and seeks
to provide a stable supply for the internal circuitry and gate drive to
the external MOSFET. Under voltage lockout (UVLO) holds the
oscillator disabled and reset to its lowest frequency state until the
Vdd supply rises above 8Volts assuring sufficient gate drive
voltage for the external MOSFET. Once Vdd is above the UVLO
threshold the oscillator is enabled and the external MOSFET is
driven via the gate driver at the oscillator frequency. The UVLO
has a 0.5V hysteresis to prevent false triggering due to ripple on
Vdd.
