AP3125A/V/L/R
GREEN MODE PWM CONTROLLER
Description
The AP3125A/V/L/R is a current mode PWM controller which is
optimized for high performance, low standby power and cost effective
offline flyback converters.
The PWM switching frequency at normal operation is internally fixed
(about 65kHz). In middle load, the IC will enter green mode to
improve system efficiency with the help of frequency foldback. A
minimum switching frequency (about 20kHz) is set to avoid the
audible noise. In no load or light load, the IC will enter the burst mode
to minimize standby power. Furthermore, the frequency dithering
function is built-in to reduce EMI emission.
Internal slope compensation allows more stable Peak-Current Mode
control over wide range of input voltage and load conditions. Internal
line compensation ensures constant output power limit over entire
universal line voltage range.
Comprehensive protection features are included, such as cycle-by-
cycle current limit (OCP), VCC Over Voltage Protection (VOVP),
internal OTP, Over Load Protection (OLP) and pins’ fault protection.
The versatile latch functions can be implemented using a minimal
number of external components.
