Switch On–Time
t(on)
2 POLP
Vac2
In theory, the on–time t(on) is constant. In practice, t(on)
tends to increase at the ac line zero crossings due to the
charge on capacitor C5. Let Vac = Vac(LL) for initial t(on)
and t(off) calculations.
The off–time t(off) is greatest at the peak of the ac line
voltage and approaches zero at the ac line zero crossings.
Theta (

) represents the angle of the ac line voltage.

The off–time is at a minimum at ac line crossings. This
equation is used to calculate t(off) as Theta approaches
zero.

The delay time is used to override the minimum off–time at
the ac line zero crossings by programming the Frequency
Clamp with C7 and R10.

t(off)
The minimum switching frequency occurs at the peak of
the ac line voltage. As the ac line voltage traverses from
peak to zero, t(off) approaches zero producing an increase
in switching frequency.

Set the current sense threshold VCS to 1.0 V for universal
input (85 to 265 Vac) operation and to 0.5 V for fixed input
(92 to 138 Vac, or 184 to 276 Vac) operation. Note that VCS
must be less than 1.4 V.

The calculated peak–to–peak ripple must be less than 16%
of the average dc output voltage to prevent false tripping of
the Overvoltage Comparator. Refer to the Overvoltage

of C3.

The bandwidth is typically set to 20 Hz. When operating at
high ac line, the value of C1 may need to be increased.
NOTE
: The following converter characteristics must be chosen:
VO = Desired output voltage.
IO = Desired output current.
Vac = AC RMS operating line voltage.
Vac(LL) = AC RMS minimum required operating line voltage for output regulation.
VO = Converter output peak–to–peak ripple voltage.
