(2)Oscillator operation when the SOFT(soft
start) circuit is operating.
Output transistor is protected from rush current by CLM function
at the start time of power on.SOFT terminal is used to improve
the rising response of the output voltage of power
supply(prevention of overshooting).
The ON duration of output is kept constant,and the OFF
duration is extended as the SOFT terminal voltage becomes
lower by the soft start circuit of this IC.
The maximum value of extension is set internally at
approximately sixteen times of the maximum ON duartion.
The features of this method are as follows:
1 It is ideal for primary control as IC driving current is supplied
from the third widing of the main transformer at the start-up
because constant ON duration is obtained from start-up.
2 It is possible to get a wide dynamic range for ON/OFF ratio
by pulse-by-pulse current limit circuit.
3 The response characteristics at power-on is not affected by
input voltage as the pulse-by-pulse limit current value is not
affected by the input voltage.
Fig.6 shows the circuit diagram of the soft start.If SOFT terminal
voltage is low,T-OFF terminal voltage bocomes low and V
T-OFF
in equations (3) and (4) become low.

PWM comparator, PWM latch and current limit
latch section
Fig.9 shows the scematic diagram of PWM comparator and
PWM latch section. The on-duration of output waveform
coincides with the rising duration of CF terminal waveform,when
the no output current flows from F/B terminal.
When the F/B terminal has finite impedance and current flows
out from F/B terminal,"A" point potential shown in Fig.9 depends
on this current.So the "A" point potential is close to GND level
when the flow-out current becomes large.
"A" point potential is compared with the CF terminal oscillator
waveform and PWM comparator,and the latch circuit is set
when the potential of oscillator waveform is higher than "A"
point potential.
The latch circuit is reset during the dead-time of oscillation
(falling duration of oscillation current).So the "B" point potential
or output waveform of latch circuit is the one shown in Fig.10.
The final output waveform or "C" point potential is got by
combining the "B" point signal and dead-time signal
logically.(please refer to Fig.10)
