NCP1236
Fixed Frequency Current
Mode Controller for Flyback
Converters
The NCP1236 is a new fixed−frequency current−mode controller
featuring Dynamic Self−Supply (DSS). This device is pin−to−pin
compatible with the previous NCP12xx families.
The DSS function greatly simplifies the design of the auxiliary
supply and the V
CC
capacitor by activating the internal startup current
source to supply the controller during transients.
Due to frequency foldback, the controller exhibits excellent
efficiency in light load condition while still achieving very low
standby power consumption. Internal frequency jittering, ramp
compensation, and a versatile latch input make this controller an
excellent candidate for converters where components cost is the key
constraints.
In addition, the controller includes a new high voltage circuitry that
combines a start−up current source and a brown−out detector able to
sense the input voltage either from the rectified ac line or the dc
filtered bulk voltage. The high voltage sensing circuitry is used for the
overpower protection purposes as well. Overpower protection,
overload protection, and next protective features increases safety level
of the final application.
Finally, due to a careful design, the precision of critical parameters
is well controlled over the entire temperature range (−40°C to
+125°C).

Pin Description
Pull the pin up or down to latch−off the controller. An internal current source
allows the direct connection of an NTC for over temperature detection
An optocoupler collector to ground controls the output regulation.
This Input senses the Primary Current for current−mode operation, and Offers
an overpower compensation adjustment.
