Description
The highly integrated SG6741A series of PWM
controllers provides several features to enhance the
performance of flyback converters.
To minimize standby power consumption, a proprietary
green-mode function provides off-time modulation to
linearly decrease the switching frequency at light-load
conditions. To avoid acoustic-noise problems, the
minimum PWM frequency is set above 18KHz. This
green-mode function enables the power supply to meet
international power conservation requirements. With the
internal high-voltage startup circuitry, the power loss
due to bleeding resistors is eliminated. To further
reduce power consumption, SG6741A is manufactured
using the BiCMOS process, which allows an operating
current of only 4mA.
SG6741A integrates a frequency-hopping function
internally to reduce EMI emission of a power supply
with minimum line filters. A built-in synchronized slope
compensation achieves stable peak-current-mode
control. The proprietary internal line compensation
ensures constant output power limit over a wide AC
input voltages, from 90VAC to 264 VAC.
SG6741A provides many protection functions. In
addition to cycle-by-cycle current limiting, the internal
open-loop protection circuit ensures safety when an
open-loop or output short-circuit failure occurs. PWM
output is disabled until VDD drops below the UVLO lower
limit, when the controller starts up again. As long as VDD
exceeds ~26V, the internal OVP circuit is triggered.
SG6741A is available in an 8-pin SOP package.

SG6741A — Highly Integrated Green-Mode PWM Controller
Functional Description
Startup Current
For startup, the HV pin is connected to the line input or
bulk capacitor through an external resistor, RHV, which
is recommended as 100K. Typical startup current
drawn from pin HV is 2mA and charges the hold-up
capacitor through the resistor RHV. When the VDD
capacitor level reaches VDD-ON, the startup current
switches off. At this moment, the VDD capacitor only
supplies the SG6741A to maintain VDD before the
auxiliary winding of the main transformer provides the
operating current.
Operating Current
Operating current is around 4mA. The low operating
current enables a better efficiency and reduces the
requirement of VDD hold-up capacitance.
Green-Mode Operation
The proprietary green-mode function provides an off-
time modulation to reduce the switching frequency in
the light-load and no-load conditions. The on-time is
limited for better abnormal or brownout protection. VFB,
which is derived from the voltage feedback loop, is
taken as the reference. Once VFB is lower than the
threshold voltage, switching frequency is continuously
decreased to the minimum green-mode frequency
around 18KHz (RI=26K).
Oscillator Operation
A resistor connected from the RI pin to the GND pin
generates a constant current source for the controller.
This current is used to determine the center PWM
frequency. Increasing the resistance reduces PWM
frequency. Using a 26K resistor RI results in a
corresponding 65KHz PWM frequency. The relationship
between RI and the switching frequency is:
(KHz)
)(K
I
R
1690
PWM
fΩ
= (1)
The range of the PWM oscillation frequency is designed
as 47kHz ~ 109kHz.
Current Sensing and PWM Current
Limiting
Peak-current-mode control is utilized in SG6741A to
regulate output voltage and provide pulse-by-pulse
current limiting. The switch current is detected by a
sense resistor into the SENSE pin. The PWM duty cycle
is determined by this current sense signal and VFB, the
feedback voltage. When the voltage on the SENSE pin
reaches around VCOMP = (VFB–1.2)/3.2, a switch cycle
terminates immediately. VCOMP is internally clamped to a
variable voltage around 0.85V for output power limit.
Leading-Edge Blanking (LEB)
Each time the power MOSFET is switched on, a turn-on
spike occurs on the sense-resistor. To avoid premature
termination of the switching pulse, a leading-edge
blanking time is built in. During this blanking period, the
current-limit comparator is disabled and cannot switch
off the gate driver.
Under-Voltage Lockout ( UVLO )
The turn-on and turn-off thresholds are fixed internally
at 16.5V and 10.5V. During startup, the hold-up
capacitor must be charged to 16.5V through the startup
resistor to enable the IC. The hold-up capacitor
continues to supply VDD before the energy can be
delivered from auxiliary winding of the main transformer.
VDD must not drop below 10.5V during startup. This
UVLO hysteresis window ensures that hold-up capacitor
is adequate to supply VDD during startup.
Gate Output / Soft Driving
The BiCMOS output stage is a fast totem-pole gate
driver. Cross conduction is avoided to minimize heat
dissipation, increase efficiency, and enhance reliability.
The output driver is clamped by an internal 18V Zener
diode to protect power MOSFET transistors against
undesirable gate over voltage. A soft driving waveform
is implemented to minimize EMI.
Built- in Slope Compensation
The sensed voltage across the current-sense resistor is
used for peak-current-mode control and pulse-by-pulse
current limiting. Built-in slope compensation improves
stability or prevents sub-harmonic oscillation. SG6741A
inserts a synchronized positive-going ramp at every
switching cycle.
Constant Output Power Li mi t
When the SENSE voltage, across the sense resistor Rs,
reaches the threshold voltage, around 0.9V, the output
GATE drive is turned off after a small delay, tPD. This
delay introduces an additional current proportional to tPD
• VIN / LP. Since the delay is nearly constant, regardless
of the input voltage VIN, higher input voltage results in a
larger additional current and the output power limit is
higher than that under low input line voltage. To
compensate this variation for wide AC input range, a
sawtooth power-limiter is designed to solve the unequal
power-limit problem. The power limiter is designed as a
positive ramp signal fed to the inverting input of the
OCP comparator. This results in a lower current limit at
high-line inputs than at low-line inputs.

SG6741A — Highly Integrated Green-Mode PWM Controller
VDD Over-voltage Protection ( O VP)
VDD over-voltage protection has been built in to prevent
damage due to abnormal conditions. Once the VDD
voltage is over the VDD over-voltage protection voltage
(VDD-OVP) and lasts for tD-VDDOVP, the PWM pulses are
disabled until the VDD voltage drops below the UVLO,
then starts again. Over-voltage conditions are usually
caused by open feedback loops.
Limited Power Control
The FB voltage increases every time the output of the
power supply is shorted or overloaded. If the FB voltage
remains higher than a built-in threshold for longer than
tD-OLP, PWM output is turned off. As PWM output is
turned off, the supply voltage VDD begins decreasing.
When VDD goes below the turn-off threshold (~10.5V)
the controller is totally shut down. VDD is charged up to
the turn-on threshold voltage of 16V through the startup
resistor until PWM output is restarted. This protection
feature continues as long as the overloading condition
persists. This prevents the power supply from
overheating due to overloading conditions.
Noise Immunit y
Noise on the current sense or control signal may cause
significant pulse-width jitter, particularly in continuous-
conduction mode. Slope compensation helps alleviate
this problem. Good placement and layout practices
should be followed. Avoiding long PCB traces and
component leads, locating compensation and filter
components near the SG6741A, and increasing the
power MOS gate resistance improve performance.
