NCP1398B/C
High Performance Resonant
Mode Controller with
Integrated High-Voltage
Drivers
The NCP1398 is a high performance controller for half bridge LLC
resonant converters. The integrated high voltage gate driver simplifies
layout and reduces external component count. A unique architecture,
which includes a 750 kHz Voltage Controlled Oscillator whose control
mode permits flexibility when an ORing function is required allows
the NCP1398 to deliver everything needed to build a reliable and
rugged resonant mode power supply. The NCP1398 provides a suite of
protection features with configurable settings allow optimization in
any application. This includes: auto−recovery and latch−off
over−current protection, brown−out detection, open optocoupler
detection, adjustable soft−start and dead−time.

Pin Description
Detects low input voltage conditions. When brought above Vlatch (4V),
fully latches off the controller.
Sets the fault timer and auto−recovery durations
Implements frequency shift in case of overload.
A resistor connected between this pin and GND sets the maximum fre-
quency excursion. Controller enters skip mode and disables drivers if
the operating frequency exceeds this adjusted value.
Connecting a resistor to this pin, sets the minimum oscillator frequency
reached for VFB = 1.1 V. Discharge OCP and Soft Start networks before
startup or reset.
A simple resistor adjusts the dead−time
Voltage on this pin modulates operating frequency between adjusted
Fmin and Fmax clamps. Starts Fault timer when FB voltage stays below
0.28 V
−
function not active on NCP1398C version.
Defines frequency and thus also FB voltage under which the controller
returns from skip mode. Upon release, a clean startup sequence occurs
if VFB < 0.28 V. During the skip mode, when FB doesn’t drop below
0.28 V, the IC restarts without soft start sequence.
Initiates fault timer when asserted. Increases operating frequency via
discharge pin to protect application power stage. This input features
also latch fault comparator that latches off the IC permanently.
