INTRODUCTION
DESCRIPTION
The IN-PLUG
®
IPS15 is an enhanced off-line
switcher version of the IPS10. It includes additional
features such as soft start and over-voltage limiting.
As the IPS10, the IPS15 Integrated Circuit was
especially designed for low-cost, high efficiency, low-
power fly-back off-line switching power supplies up
to approximately 50 to 70W. It contains a shunt-
regulator, a precision oscillator, a PWM with its
associated comparator and loop compensation
components as well as all the necessary biasing and
protection circuitry (thermal shutdown, under-voltage,
over-voltage and over-current).
It is optimized to operate with an optocoupler to
provide the feedback from the secondary but can also
be used with a bias winding which could sometimes
be more economical.
Typical applications include domestic and
international power supplies featuring AC input
ranging from 90 to 264V and DC from 100 to 350V.
In addition to being a low-cost IC, the IPS15 allows
further cost reduction for the complete power supply
thanks to:
- fewer and cheaper associated components
- a simpler, cheaper and more forgiving fly-back
transformer.
For very low power applications the IPS15 can be
powered from the rectified AC through a simple
resistor.
For higher power applications, the IPS15 is powered
through a novel patented network which replaces the
usual snubber network. AAI will grant one non-
exclusive royalty free licence to use this arrangement
for each IPS15 purchased by Customers, either
directly from the company or through approved
sources.
The IN-PLUG
®
IPS15 can drive a large variety of
power MOSFETs hence providing the maximum
flexibility at the lowest possible cost.

IPS15 SERIES FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The
IPS15
is a PWM controller for fly-back switching power supply applications. It has been optimized to reduce
the external component count. The principal features are:
- Low start Current.
- Shunt regulator to allow the maximum flexibility to power the chip.
- Protections against overheating, under-voltage and over-voltage.
- Precise oscillator with externally adjustable frequency.
- On-chip filters for the loop compensation and the over-current sensing.
- Soft start and over-voltage shut-down to protect the MOSFET.
- Separate MOSFET P and N drivers to adjust rising and falling edge independently.
The shunt regulator operates like a zener diode, keeping the chip supply voltage around 9.5 volts. At start-up the
chip stays in stand-by mode until the voltage of VCC reaches about 9.5 volts. During this phase, the consumption is
of the order of 120
μA.
When the 9.5 volts are reached, the driver starts providing gate pulses. The chip will go back
to the stand-by mode if the supply voltage decreases down to ~8 volts. The overall chip consumption in normal
operation is about 600
μA,
not counting the current required to drive the MOSFET gate.
For domestic application, the chip can be supplied from the rectified line voltage through a resistor. In such case, the
resistor has to be sized to drive enough current to the chip.
For international applications, the IC gets the start current from a resistor connected to the rectified line voltage
(~150
μA)
then, after the first gate pulse, the patented modified snubber network (*) provides the additional current
to keep the chip running.
The opto pin is pulled to VCC through an internal resistor, allowing a maximal duty cycle of 60 %. During start-
up, the duty cycle is controlled by the internal soft start unit which smoothly increases the MOSFET current up to its
maximum, corresponding to 700mV developped across the sense resistor.
When the expected output voltage is reached, the optocoupler's led is driven, and the opto pin voltage decreases,
reducing the duty cycle to a controlled value. The current limiting protection operates by turning-off the MOSFET
when the ISENSE pin voltage exceeds ~700 mv. This ensures a cycle to cycle protection of the MOSFET and
provides a mean of operating the power supply in constant-power mode.
The voltage limiting protection operates by turning-off the MOSFET when the OVERV pin voltage exceeds 4V.
