Primary Controller 1.05 InnoSwitch4-CZ is a variable frequency controller allowing CCM/DCM operation for enhanced efficiency and extended output power 1.00 capability. PI-9094a-120320 LIM PRIMARY BYPASS Pin Regulator 0.95 The PRIMARY BYPASS pin has an internal regulator that charges the
PRIMARY BYPASS pin capacitor to VBPP by drawing current from the 0.90 DRAIN pin whenever the power switch is off. The PRIMARY BYPASS pin is the internal supply voltage node. When the power switch is on, 0.85 the device operates from the energy stored in the PRIMARY BYPASS Normalized I Normalized pin capacitor. 0.80 In addition, a shunt regulator clamps the PRIMARY BYPASS pin voltage to VSHUNT when current is provided to the PRIMARY BYPASS pin through an external resistor. This allows the InnoSwitch4-CZ to 0.75 be powered externally through a bias winding, decreasing the no-load 30 50 70 90 110 130 150 consumption to less than 30 mW in a 5 V output design. Steady-State Switching Frequency (kHz) Primary Bypass ILIM Programming Figure 6. Normalized Primary Current vs. Frequency. InnoSwitch4-CZ ICs allows the user to adjust current limit (ILIM) settings through the selection of the PRIMARY BYPASS pin capacitor Current Limit Operation value. A ceramic capacitor can be used. The primary-side controller has a current limit threshold ramp that is There are 2 selectable capacitor sizes – 0.47 mF and 4.7 mF for setting inversely proportional to the time from the end of the previous standard and increased ILIM settings respectively. primary switching cycle (i.e. from the time the primary switch turns off at the end of a switching cycle).

Once the PRIMARY BYPASS BPP BP(H) This algorithm enables the most efficient use of the primary switch pin voltage falls below this threshold, it must rise to VSHUNT to re-enable turn-on of the power switch. with the benefit that this algorithm responds to digital feedback information immediately when a feedback switching cycle request is Primary BYPASS Pin Overvoltage Function received. The PRIMARY BYPASS pin has an optional latching OV protection feature. A Zener diode in parallel with the resistor in series with the At full load, switching cycles have a maximum current approaching PRIMARY BYPASS pin capacitor is typically used to detect an 100% ILIM. This gradually reduces to 30% of the full current limit as overvoltage on the primary bias winding and activate the protection load decreases. Once 30% current limit is reached, there is no mechanism. In the event that the current into the PRIMARY BYPASS further reduction in current limit (since this is low enough to avoid pin exceeds I , the device will latch-off or disable the power switch audible noise). The time between switching cycles will continue to SD increase as load reduces. switching for a time tAR(OFF), after which time the controller will restart and attempt to return to regulation.

The second is included to ensure that if communication is lost, the primary tries to restart. Although this should never be the case in normal operation, it can be useful when system ESD events (for example) causes a loss of communication due to noise disturbing the secondary controller. The issue is resolved when the primary restarts after an auto-restart off-time.

Again, switching will only resume once the UNDER/ requests from the secondary during normal operation (when the OVER INPUT VOLTAGE pin current has returned to within its normal secondary has control), the handshake protocol is initiated to ensure operating range. that the secondary is ready to assume control once the primary begins to switch again.

The amount of time required to build up energy in transformer for ZVS is a function of clamp capacitor and sequence. This provides additional protection against cross-conduction transformer leakage inductance. After this on-time, the InnoSwitch4-CZ of the SR FET while the primary is switching.

Components for InnoSwitch4-CZ Secondary-Side Circuit SECONDARY BYPASS Pin – Decoupling Capacitor S A 2.2 mF, 10 V / X7R or X5R / 0805 or larger size multi-layer ceramic capacitor should be used for decoupling the SECONDARY BYPASS pin of the InnoSwitch4-CZ IC. Since the SECONDARY BYPASS pin voltage needs to be 4.5 V before the output voltage reaches the regulation voltage level, a significantly higher BPS capacitor value could lead to 2 051 1 output voltage overshoot during start-up. Values lower than 1.5 mF may not offer enough capacitance, and cause unpredictable operation. Figure 10.

At least 10 V Switch Conduction During Flyback Cycle. is recommended voltage rating to give enough margin from BPS voltage, and 0805 size is necessary to guarantee the actual value in operation since the capacitance of ceramic capacitors drops significantly with applied DC voltage especially with small package SMD such as 0603. 6.3 V / 0603 / X5U or Z5U type of MLCC is not recommended for this reason. The ceramic capacitor type designations, such as X7R, X5R from different manufacturers or different product families do not have the same voltage coefficients. It is recommended that capacitor datasheets be reviewed to ensure that the selected capacitor will not have more than 20% drop in capacitance at 4.5 V. Capacitors with X5R or X7R dielectrics should be used for best results. S When the output voltage of the power supply is 5 V or higher, the supply current for the secondary-side controller is provided by the OUTPUT VOLTAGE (VOUT) pin of the IC as the voltage at this pin is higher than the SECONDARY BYPASS pin voltage. During start-up and operating conditions where the output voltage of the power 051 1 supply is below 5 V, the secondary-side controller is supplied by current from an internal current source connected to the FORWARD Figure 11. Acceptable FORWARD Pin Waveform After Handshake with SR Switch Conduction During Flyback Cycle. pin. If the output voltage of the power supply is below 5 V and the load at the output of the power supply is very light, the operating frequency can drop significantly and the current supplied to the secondary-side controller from the FORWARD pin may not be sufficient to maintain the SECONDARY BYPASS pin voltage at 4.5 V. For such applications, it is recommended that an additional active preload be used as shown in Figure 9. This load is turned on by the interface IC (or USB PD controller) when the output voltage of the power supply is below 5 V. S
