LOW POWER PWM CONTROLLER FOR OFF-LINE ADAPTER
General Description
The AP3710 is a green-mode PWM controller, its main
applications are low power supplies such as offline
battery chargers, adapters, STB and other auxiliary
supplies, where the needs for low no load power, low
total cost and high reliability are all required.
The functional blocks of AP3710 include: under volt-
age lockout with low start-up current; precise voltage
reference for internal comparators; PWM comparator
with current limit control, feedback signal and band-
gap input; short circuit comparator and open circuit
protection for opto-coupler.
The AP3710 operates at a fixed 60kHz switching fre-
quency, its output connects to the emitter of high volt-
age NPN transistor or the source of MOSFET. In
normal mode, it works as a switch to turn on or turn off
the external transistor. In failure modes like open loop,
over voltage or overload due to short circuit, the chip
enters into an auto restart mode controlled by the inter-
nal protection unit.
The AP3710 is available in SOIC-8 and DIP-8 pack-
ages.

The power supply of the IC and this terminal is also used for the feedback control
Not connected
The PWM output is directly connected to the emitter of NPN transistor or the source
of MOSFET
It is used for line voltage compensation, and PWM uses this to terminate the output
switch conduction
It is used for short circuit protection, and this terminal will be pulled down to low
level when short circuit happens at the load side
