Description
This highly integrated PWM controller provides several
features to enhance the performance of low-power
flyback converters. To minimize standby power
consumption, a proprietary green-mode function
provides off-time modulation to linearly decrease the
switching frequency under light-load and zero-load
conditions. This green mode enables the power supply
to meet international power conservation requirements.
The supply voltage V
DD
is also used for feedback
compensation, to regulate the output voltage without
requiring a conventional TL431 and a photo-coupler.
Another advantage of the FAN400A is that the typical
startup current is only 8μA, while the typical operating
current can be as low as 3.6mA. A large startup
resistance can be used to achieve even higher power
conversion efficiency.
FAN400A integrates a frequency hopping function
internally to reduce EMI emissions with minimum line
filters. Built-in synchronized slope compensation
maintains the stability of peak current-mode control.
Proprietary internal compensation ensures constant
output power limiting over a universal range of AC input
voltages, from 90V
AC
to 264V
AC
.
The FAN400A provides many protection functions.
Pulse-by-pulse current limiting ensures constant output
current, even if a short circuit occurs. The internal
protection circuit disables PWM output if V
DD
exceeds
22.7V. The gate output is clamped at 17V to protect the
power MOS from over-voltage damage. The built-in
over-temperature protection (OTP) function shuts down
the controller at 140°C with a 30°C hysteresis.
The FAN400A is designed to provide a low-cost total
solution for flyback converters. It is available in a small-
footprint, 6-pin, SSOT-6 package.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses exceeding the absolute maximum ratings may damage the device. The device may not function or be
operable above the recommended operating conditions and stressing the parts to these levels is not recommended.
In addition, extended exposure to stresses above the recommended operating conditions may affect device
reliability. The absolute maximum ratings are stress ratings only.
