SG5842A/SG5842JA — Highly Integrated Green-Mode PWM Controller Features Description
Green-Mode PWM Controller The highly integrated SG5842A/JA series of PWM controllers provides several features to enhance the
Low Startup Current: 14µA
performance of flyback converters. To minimize standby power consumption, a proprietary green-mode function
Low Operating Current: 4m A
provides off-time modulation to continuously decrease
Programmable PWM Frequency with Hopping the switching frequency at light-load conditions. To (SG5842JA) avoid acoustic-noise problems, the minimum PWM
frequency set above 22KHz. This green-mode function
Peak-Current-Mode Control
enables the power supply to meet international power
Cycle-by-Cycle Current Limiting conservation requirements. To further reduce power
consumption, SG5842A/JA is manufactured using the
Synchronized Slope Compensation
Bi CMOS process. This allows a low startup current,
Leading-Edge Blanking (LEB) around 14µA, and an operating current of only 4m A. As
a result, a large startup resistance can be used.
Constant Output Power Limit
The SG5842A/JA built-in synchronized slope
Totem-Pole Output with Soft Driving
compensation achieves stable peak-current-mode
VDD Over-Voltage Protection (OVP) control. SG5842JA integrates a frequency-hopping
function that helps reduce EMI emission of a power
Programmable Over-Temperature Protection (OTP)
supply with minimum line filters.
Internal Latch Circuit (OTP, OVP)
SG5842A/JA provides many protection functions. In
Internal Open-Loop Protection addition to cycle-by-cycle current limiting, the internal
open-loop protection circuit ensures safety should an
VDD Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO)
open-loop or output short-circuit failure occur. PWM GATE Output Maximum Voltage Clamp: 18V output is disabled until VDD drops below the UVLO lower limit, then the controller starts again. As long as VDD exceeds about 24V, the internal OVP circuit is triggered.
Applications An external NTC thermistor can be applied for over-
temperature protection.
General-purpose switch-mode power supplies and flyback power converters, including: SG5842A/JA is available in an 8-pin DIP or SOP
package.
