1.2 Pin Functionality
BBA (Brownout, extended Blanking time & Auto-
restart enable)
The BBA pin combines the functions of brownout,
extendable blanking time for over load protection and
the external auto-restart enable. The brownout feature
is to stop the switching pulse when the input voltage is
dropped to a preset low level. The extendable blanking
time function is to extend the built-in 20 ms blanking
time for over load protection by adding an external
capacitor to ground. The external auto-restart enable
function is an external access to stop the gate
switching and force the IC to enter auto-restart mode.
It is triggered by pulling the pin voltage to less than
0.4V.
FBB (Feedback & Burst entry control)
The FBB pin combines the feedback function and the
burst entry/exit control. The regulation information is
provided by the FBB pin to the internal Protection Unit
and the internal PWM-Comparator to control the duty
cycle. The FBB-signal is the only control signal in case
of light load at the Active Burst Mode. The burst entry/
exit control provides an access to select the entry/exit
burst mode level.
CS (Current Sense)
The Current Sense pin senses the voltage developed
on the shunt resistor inserted in the source of the
integrated CoolMOS®. If CS reaches the internal
threshold of the Current Limit Comparator, the Driver
output is immediately switched off. Furthermore the
current information is provided for the PWM-
Comparator to realize the Current Mode.
Drain (Drain of integrated CoolMOS®)
Pin Drain is the connection to the Drain of the
integrated CoolMOS®.
VCC (Power Supply)
The VCC pin is the positive supply of the IC. The
operating range is between 10.5V and 25V.
GND (Ground)
The GND pin is the ground of the controller.

Functional Description
3 Functional Description
All values which are used in the functional description
are typical values. For calculating the worst cases the
min/max values which can be found in section 4
Electrical Characteristics have to be considered.
3.1 Introduction
CoolSET®-F3R80 brownout and jitter 800V version
(ICE3AR0680JZ) is the enhanced version of the
CoolSET®-F3R 650V version (ICE3BRxx65J). It is
particular good for high voltage margin low power
SMPS application such as auxiliary power supply for
PC and server. The major characteristics are that the
IC is developed with 800V CoolMOS®with start up cell,
having adjustable brownout feature, running at 100KHz
switching frequency and packed in DIP-7 package. It is
derived from F3R 650V version. Thus most of the good
features are retained. Besides, it includes some
enhanced features and new features.
The retained good features include BiCMOS
technology to reduce power consumption and increase
the Vcc voltage range, cycle by cycle current mode
control, built-in 10ms soft start to reduce the stress of
switching elements during start up, built-in 20ms and
extended blanking time for short period of peak power
before entering protection, active burst mode for lowest
standby power and propagation delay compensation
for close power limit between high line and low line,
frequency jittering for low EMI performance, the built-in
auto-restart mode protections for open loop, over load,
Vcc OVP, Vcc under voltage, etc. and also the most
flexible external auto-restart enable, etc.
The enhanced features include narrowing the feedback
voltage swing from 0.5V to 0.3V during burst mode so
that the output voltage ripple can be reduced by 40%,
reduction of the fast voltage fall time of the MOSFET by
increasing the soft turn-on time and addition of 50W
turn-on resistor, faster start up time by optimizing the
Vcc capacitor to 10uF and over temperature protection
with 50°C hysteresis.
The new features include adjustable brownout for
reliable output performance, selectable entry and exit
burst mode so that smaller entry/exit power to burst
mode or even no burst mode is possible and the
propagation delay compensation for burst mode so that
the entry/exit burst mode power is close between high
line and low line.
In summary, the CoolSET®F3R80 provides good
voltage margin of MOSFET, lowest standby power,
flexible burst level, reduced output ripple during burst
mode, reliable output with brownout feature, accurate
power limit for both maximum power and burst power,
low EMI with frequency jittering and soft gate drive,
built-in and flexible protections, etc. Therefore,
CoolSET®F3R80 is a complete solution for the low
power SMPS application.
3.2 Power Management
Figure 3 Power Management
The Undervoltage Lockout monitors the external
supply voltage VVCC. When the SMPS is plugged to the
main line the internal Startup Cell is biased and starts
to charge the external capacitor CVCC which is
connected to the VCC pin. This VCC charge current is
controlled to 0.9mA by the Startup Cell. When the VVCC
exceeds the on-threshold VCCon=17V the bias circuit
are switched on. Then the Startup Cell is switched off
by the Undervoltage Lockout and therefore no power
losses present due to the connection of the Startup Cell
to the Drain voltage. To avoid uncontrolled ringing at
switch-on, a hysteresis start up voltage is implemented.
The switch-off of the controller can only take place
when VVCC falls below 10.5V after normal operation
was entered. The maximum current consumption
before the controller is activated is about 200mA.
When VVCC falls below the off-threshold VCCoff=10.5V,
the bias circuit is switched off and the soft start counter
is reset. Thus it ensures that at every startup cycle the
soft start starts at zero.
The internal bias circuit is switched off if Auto Restart
Mode is entered. The current consumption is then
reduced to 320mA.

Once the malfunction condition is removed, this block
will then turn back on. The recovery from Auto Restart
Mode does not require re-cycling the AC line.
When Active Burst Mode is entered, the internal Bias is
switched off most of the time but the Voltage Reference
is kept alive in order to reduce the current consumption
below 620mA.
3.3 Improved Current Mode
Figure 4 Current Mode
Current Mode means the duty cycle is controlled by the
slope of the primary current. This is done by comparing
the FBB signal with the amplified current sense signal.
Figure 5 Pulse Width Modulation
In case the amplified current sense signal exceeds the
FBB signal the on-time ton of the driver is finished by
resetting the PWM-Latch (Figure 5).
The primary current is sensed by the external series
resistor RSense inserted in the source of the integrated
CoolMOS®. By means of Current Mode regulation, the
secondary output voltage is insensitive to the line
variations. The current waveform slope will change with
the line variation, which controls the duty cycle.
The external RSense allows an individual adjustment of
the maximum source current of the integrated
CoolMOS®.
To improve the Current Mode during light load
conditions the amplified current ramp of the PWM-OP
is superimposed on a voltage ramp, which is built by
the switch T2, the voltage source V1 and a resistor R1
(see Figure 6). Every time the oscillator shuts down for
maximum duty cycle limitation the switch T2 is closed
by VOSC. When the oscillator triggers the Gate Driver,
T2 is opened so that the voltage ramp can start.
Figure 6 Improved Current Mode
In case of light load the amplified current ramp is too
small to ensure a stable regulation. In that case the
Voltage Ramp is a well defined signal for the
comparison with the FBB-signal. The duty cycle is then
controlled by the slope of the Voltage Ramp.
By means of the time delay circuit which is triggered by
the inverted VOSC signal, the Gate Driver is switched-off
until it reaches approximately 156ns delay time (Figure

7). It allows the duty cycle to be reduced continuously
till 0% by decreasing VFBB below that threshold.
Figure 7 Light Load Conditions
3.3.1 PWM-OP
The input of the PWM-OP is applied over the internal
leading edge blanking to the external sense resistor
RSense connected to pin CS. RSense converts the source
current into a sense voltage. The sense voltage is
amplified with a gain of 3.25 by PWM OP. The output
of the PWM-OP is connected to the voltage source V1.
The voltage ramp with the superimposed amplified
current signal is fed into the positive inputs of the PWM-
Comparator C8 and the Soft-Start-Comparator (Figure
8).
3.3.2 PWM-Comparator
The PWM-Comparator compares the sensed current
signal of the integrated CoolMOS®with the feedback
signal VFBB (Figure 8). VFBB is created by an external
optocoupler or external transistor in combination with
the internal pull-up resistor RFB and provides the load
information of the feedback circuitry. When the
amplified current signal of the integrated CoolMOS®
exceeds the signal VFBB the PWM-Comparator
switches off the Gate Driver.

Functional Description
Version 2.1a 11 11 Jan 2012
In the Startup Phase, the IC provides a Soft Start
period to control the primary current by means of a duty
cycle limitation. The Soft Start function is a built-in
function and it is controlled by an internal counter.
.
Figure 10 Soft Start Phase
When the VVCC exceeds the on-threshold voltage, the
IC starts the Soft Start mode (Figure 10).
The function is realized by an internal Soft Start
resistor, an current sink and a counter. And the
amplitude of the current sink is controlled by the
counter (Figure 11).
Figure 11 Soft Start Circuit
After the IC is switched on, the VSoftS voltage is
controlled such that the voltage is increased step-
wisely (32 steps) with the increase of the counts. The
Soft Start counter would send a signal to the current
sink control in every 300us such that the current sink
decrease gradually and the duty ratio of the gate drive
increases gradually. The Soft Start will be finished in
10ms (tSoft-Start) after the IC is switched on. At the end of
the Soft Start period, the current sink is switched off.
Within the soft start period, the duty cycle is increasing
from zero to maximum gradually (see Figure 12).
Figure 12 Gate drive signal under Soft-Start Phase
In addition to Start-Up, Soft-Start is also activated at
each restart attempt during Auto Restart.

The Start-Up time tStart-Up before the converter output
voltage VOUT is settled, must be shorter than the Soft-
Start Phase tSoft-Start (Figure 13). By means of Soft-Start
there is an effective minimization of current and voltage
stresses on the integrated CoolMOS®, the clamp circuit
and the output rectifier and it helps to prevent
saturation of the transformer during Start-Up.
3.5 PWM Section
Figure 14 PWM Section Block
3.5.1 Oscillator
The oscillator generates a fixed frequency of 100KHz
with frequency jittering of ±4% (which is ±4KHz) at a
jittering period of 4ms.
A capacitor, a current source and current sink which
determine the frequency are integrated. The charging
and discharging current of the implemented oscillator
capacitor are internally trimmed in order to achieve a
very accurate switching frequency. The ratio of
controlled charge to discharge current is adjusted to
reach a maximum duty cycle limitation of Dmax=0.75.
Once the Soft Start period is over and when the IC goes
into normal operating mode, the switching frequency of
the clock is varied by the control signal from the Soft
Start block. Then the switching frequency is varied in
range of 100KHz ± 4KHz at period of 4ms.
3.5.2 PWM-Latch FF1
The output of the oscillator block provides continuous
pulse to the PWM-Latch which turns on/off the
integrated CoolMOS®. After the PWM-Latch is set, it is
reset by the PWM comparator, the Soft Start
comparator or the Current -Limit comparator. When it is
in reset mode, the output of the driver is shut down
immediately.
3.5.3 Gate Driver
Figure 15 Gate Driver
The driver-stage is optimized to minimize EMI and to
provide high circuit efficiency. This is done by reducing
the switch on slope when exceeding the integrated
CoolMOS®threshold. This is achieved by a slope
control of the rising edge at the driver’s output (Figure
16) and adding a 50Wgate turn on resistor (Figure 15).
Thus the leading switch on spike is minimized.
Figure 16 Gate Rising Slope
Furthermore the driver circuit is designed to eliminate
cross conduction of the output stage.

Functional Description
Version 2.1a 13 11 Jan 2012
During power up, when VCC is below the undervoltage
lockout threshold VVCCoff, the output of the Gate Driver
is set to low in order to disable power transfer to the
secondary side.
3.6 Current Limiting
Figure 17 Current Limiting Block
There is a cycle by cycle peak current limiting operation
realized by the Current-Limit comparator C10. The
source current of the integrated CoolMOS®is sensed
via an external sense resistor RSense. By means of
RSense the source current is transformed to a sense
voltage VSense which is fed into the pin CS. If the voltage
VSense exceeds the internal threshold voltage Vcsth, the
comparator C10 immediately turns off the gate drive by
resetting the PWM Latch FF1.
A Propagation Delay Compensation is added to
support the immediate shut down of the integrated
CoolMOS®with very short propagation delay. Thus the
influence of the AC input voltage on the maximum
output power can be reduced to minimal. This
compensation applies to both the peak load and burst
mode.
In order to prevent the current limit from distortions
caused by leading edge spikes, a Leading Edge
Blanking (LEB) is integrated in the current sense path
for the comparators C10, C12 and the PWM-OP.
The output of comparator C12 is activated by the Gate
G10 if Active Burst Mode is entered. When it is
activated, the current limiting is reduced to Vcsth_burst.
This voltage level determines the maximum power
level in Active Burst Mode.
3.6.1 Leading Edge Blanking
Figure 18 Leading Edge Blanking
Whenever the integrated CoolMOS®is switched on, a
leading edge spike is generated due to the primary-
side capacitances and reverse recovery time of the
secondary-side rectifier. This spike can cause the gate
drive to switch off unintentionally. In order to avoid a
premature termination of the switching pulse, this spike
is blanked out with a time constant of tLEB = 220ns for
normal load and tLEB = 180ns for burst mode.
3.6.2 Propagation Delay Compensation
(patented)
In case of overcurrent detection, there is always
propagation delay to switch off the integrated
CoolMOS®. An overshoot of the peak current Ipeak is
induced to the delay, which depends on the ratio of dI/
dt of the peak current (Figure 19).
Figure 19 Current Limiting
The overshoot of Signal2 is larger than of Signal1 due
to the steeper rising waveform. This change in the
slope is depending on the AC input voltage.
Propagation Delay Compensation is integrated to

reduce the overshoot due to dI/dt of the rising primary
current. Thus the propagation delay time between
exceeding the current sense threshold Vcsth and the
switching off of the integrated CoolMOS®is
compensated over temperature within a wide input
range. Current Limiting is then very accurate.
For example, Ipeak = 0.5A with RSense = 2. The current
sense threshold is set to a static voltage level Vcsth=1V
without Propagation Delay Compensation. A current
ramp of dI/dt = 0.4A/µs, or dVSense/dt = 0.8V/µs, and a
propagation delay time of tPropagation Delay =180ns leads
to an Ipeak overshoot of 14.4%. With the propagation
delay compensation, the overshoot is only around 2%
(Figure 20).
Figure 20 Overcurrent Shutdown
The Propagation Delay Compensation is realized by
means of a dynamic threshold voltage Vcsth (Figure 21).
In case of a steeper slope the switch off of the driver is
earlier to compensate the delay.
Figure 21 Dynamic Voltage Threshold Vcsth
Similarly, the same concept of propagation delay
compensation is also implemented in burst mode with
reduced level, Vcsth_burst (Figure 17). With this
implementation, the entry and exit burst mode power
can be very close between low line and high line input
voltage.
3.7 Control Unit
The Control Unit contains the functions for Active Burst
Mode and Auto Restart Mode. The Active Burst Mode
and the Auto Restart Mode both have 20ms internal
blanking time. For the over load Auto Restart Mode, the
20ms blanking time can be further extended by adding
an external capacitor at BBA pin. With the blanking
time, the IC avoids entering into those two modes
accidentally. Those buffer time is very useful for the
application which works in short duration of peak power
occasionally.
3.7.1 Basic and Extendable Blanking Mode
Figure 22 Basic and Extendable Blanking Mode
There are 2 kinds of Blanking mode; basic mode and
the extendable mode. The basic mode is a built-in
20ms blanking time while the extendable mode can
extend this blanking time by connecting an external
capacitor to the BBA pin. For the extendable mode, the
gate G5 remains blocked even though the 20ms
blanking time is reached. After reaching the 20ms
blanking time the counter is activated and the switch S1
is turned on to charge the voltage of BBA pin by the
constant current source, Ichg_EB. When the voltage of
BBA pin hits 4.5V, which is sensed by comparator C11,
the counter will increase the counter by 1. Then it

switches off the switch S1 and turns on the switch S2.
The voltage at BBA pin will be discharged through a
500Wresistor. When the voltage drops to 0.9V which is
sensed by comparator C3, the switch S2 will be turned
off and the switch S1 will be turned on. Then the
constant current Ichg_EB will charge the CBK capacitor
again. When the voltage at BBA hits 4.5V which is
sensed by comparator C11, the counter will increase
the count to 2. The process repeats until it reaches total
count of 256 (Figure 23). Then the counter will release
a high output signal. When the AND gate G5 detects
both high signals at the inputs, it will activate the 30ms
spike blanking circuit and finally the auto-restart mode
will be activated.

Extended blanking time = 256*(CBK*(4.5V-0.9V)/Ichg_EB +
CBK*500*ln(4.5/0.9)) = 148.6ms
Total blanking time = 20ms+ 148.6ms =168.6ms
If there is a resistor RBO2 connected to BBA pin, the
effective charging current will be reduced. The blanking
time will be increased.
For example, if CBK=0.1

Total blanking time = 20ms+201.6 = 221.6ms
where Ichg_EB’=net charging current to CBK
Note: The above calculation does not include the effect of the
brownout circuit where there is extra biasing current flowing from
the input. That means the extended blanking time will be
shortened with the line voltage change if brownout circuit is
implemented.
3.7.2 Active Burst Mode (patented)
To increase the efficiency of the system at light load,
the most effective way is to operate at burst mode.
Starting from CoolSET®F3, the IC has been employing
the active burst mode and it can achieve the lowest
standby power. F3R80 adopts the same concept with
some more innovative improvements to the feature. It
includes the adjustable entry burst level, close power
control between high line and low line and the smaller
output ripple during burst mode.
Most of the burst mode design in the market will
provide a fixed entry burst mode level which is a ratio
to the maximum power of the design. F3R80 provides
a more flexible level which can be selected externally.
The provision also includes not entering burst mode.
Propagation delay is the major contributor for the
power control variation for DCM flyback converter. It is
proved to be effective in the maximum power control.
F3R80 also apply the same concept in the burst mode.
Therefore, the entry and exit burst mode power is also
finely controlled during burst mode.
The feedback control swing during burst mode will
affect the output ripple voltage directly. F3R80 reduces
the swing from 0.5V to 0.3V. Therefore, it would have
around 40% improvement for the output ripple.
Figure 24 Active Burst Mode
The Active Burst Mode is located in the Control Unit.
Figure 24 shows the related components.
3.7.2.1 Selectable burst entry level
The burst mode entry level can be selected by
changing the different capacitor CFB at FBB pin. There
are 4 levels to be selected with different capacitor
which are targeted for 10%, 6.67%, 4.38% and 0% of
the maximum input power. At the same time, the exit
burst level are targeted to 20%, 13.3%, 9.6% and 0%
of the maximum power accordingly. The corresponding
capacitance range is from 6.8nF to 100pF. The below
table is the recommended capacitance range for the
entry and exit level with the CFB capacitor.

The selection is at the 1st 1ms of the UVLO “ON” (Vcc
> 17V) during the 1st start up but it does not detect in
the subsequent re-start due to auto-restart protection.
In case there is protection triggered such as auto
restart enable or brownout before starts up, the
detection will be held until the protection is removed.
When the Vcc reaches the UVLO “ON” in the 1st start
up, the capacitor CFB at FBB pin is charged by a 5V
voltage source through the RFB resistor. When the
voltage at FBB pin hits 4.5V, the FF4 will be set, the
switch S9 is turned “ON” and the counter will increase
by 1. Then the CFB is discharged through a 500W
resistor. After reaching 0.5V, the FF4 is reset and the
switch S9 is turned “OFF”. Then the CFB capacitor is
charged by the 5V voltage source again until it reaches
4.5V. The process repeats until the end of 1ms. Then
the detection is ended. After that, the total number of
count in the counter is compared and the VFB-burst and
the Vcs_burst are selected accordingly (Figure 25).
Figure 25 Entry burst mode detection
3.7.2.2 Entering Active Burst Mode
The FBB signal is kept monitoring by the comparator
C5 (Figure 24). During normal operation, the internal
blanking time counter is reset to 0. When FBB signal
falls below VFB_burst, it starts to count. When the counter
reaches 20ms and FBB signal is still below VFB_burst, the
system enters the Active Burst Mode. This time window
prevents a sudden entering into the Active Burst Mode
due to large load jumps.
After entering Active Burst Mode, a burst flag is set and
the internal bias is switched off in order to reduce the
current consumption of the IC to about 620uA.
It needs the application to enforce the VCC voltage
above the Undervoltage Lockout level of 10.5V such
that the Startup Cell will not be switched on
accidentally. Or otherwise the power loss will increase
drastically. The minimum VCC level during Active Burst
Mode depends on the load condition and the
application. The lowest VCC level is reached at no load
condition.
3.7.2.3 Working in Active Burst Mode
After entering the Active Burst Mode, the FBB voltage
rises as VOUT starts to decrease, which is due to the
inactive PWM section. The comparator C6a monitors
the FBB signal. If the voltage level is larger than 3.5V,
the internal circuit will be activated; the Internal Bias
circuit resumes and starts to provide switching pulse. In
Active Burst Mode the gate G10 is released and the
current limit is reduced to Vcsth_burst (Figure 2 and
24). In one hand, it can reduce the conduction loss and
the other hand, it can reduce the audible noise. If the
load at VOUT is still kept unchanged, the FBB signal
will drop to 3.2V. At this level the C6b deactivates the
internal circuit again by switching off the Internal Bias.
The gate G11 is active again as the burst flag is set
after entering Active Burst Mode. In Active Burst Mode,
the FBB voltage is changing like a saw tooth between
3.2V and 3.5V (Figure 26).
3.7.2.4 Leaving Active Burst Mode
The FBB voltage will increase immediately if there is a
high load jump. This is observed by the comparator
C13 (Figure 24). Since the current limit is reduced to
31%~45% of the maximum current during active burst
mode, it needs a certain load jump to rise the FBB
signal to exceed 4.0V. At that time the comparator C5
resets the Active Burst Mode control which in turn
blocks the comparator C12 by the gate G10. The
maximum current can then be resumed to stabilize
VOUT.

3.7.3 Protection Modes
The IC provides Auto Restart mode as the major
protection feature. Auto Restart mode can prevent the
SMPS from destructive states. There are 3 kinds of
auto restart mode; normal auto restart mode, odd skip
auto restart mode and non switch auto restart mode.
Odd skip auto restart mode is that there is no detect of
fault and no switching pulse for the odd number restart
cycle. At the even number of restart cycle the fault
detect and soft start switching pulses maintained. If the
fault persists, it would continue the auto-restart mode.
However, if the fault is removed, it can release to
normal operation only at the even number auto restart
cycle (Figure 27).
Figure 27 Odd skip auto restart waveform
Non switch auto restart mode is similar to odd skip auto
restart mode except the start up switching pulses are
also suppressed at the even number of the restart
cycle. The detection of fault still remains at the even
number of the restart cycle. When the fault is removed,
the IC will resume to normal operation at the even
number of the restart cycle (Figure 28).
Figure 28 non switch auto restart waveform
The main purpose of the odd skip auto restart is to
extend the restart time such that the power loss during
auto restart protection can be reduced. This feature is
particularly good for smaller Vcc capacitor where the
restart time is shorter.

and the corresponding protection modes.

3.7.3.1 Vcc OVP, OTP, external protection
enable and Vcc under voltage
Figure 29 Vcc OVP, OTP, external protection
enable
There are 2 types of Vcc over voltage protection; Vcc
OVP (1) and Vcc OVP (2). The Vcc OVP (1) takes
action only during the soft start period. The Vcc OVP
(2) takes the action in any conditions.
Vcc OVP (1) condition is when VVCC voltage is > 20.5V,
VFBB voltage is > 4.5V and during soft start period, the
IC enters into odd skip Auto Restart Mode. This
condition likely happens during start up at open loop
fault. (Figure 29).
Vcc OVP (2) condition is when VVCC voltage is > 25.5V,
the IC enters into odd skip Auto Restart Mode (Figure
29).
The over temperature protection OTP is sensed inside
the controller IC. The Thermal Shutdown block keeps
on monitoring the junction temperature of the
controller. After detecting a junction temperature higher
than 130°C, the IC will enter into the non switch Auto
Restart mode. The F3R80 has also implemented with
a 50°C hysteresis. That means the IC can only be
recovered when the controller junction temperature is
dropped 50°C lower than the over temperature trigger
point (Figure 29).
The external auto restart enable feature can provide a
flexibility to a customer’s self-defined protection
feature. This function can be triggered by pulling down
the VBBA voltage to < 0.4V. Or it can simply trigger the
base pin of an external transistor, TAE at the BBA pin.
When this function is enabled, it will enter into the non
switch auto restart mode. The gate drive is stopped and
there is no switching pulse before it is recovered
(Figure 29).
The Vcc undervoltage and short opto-coupler will go
into the normal auto restart mode inherently.
In case of VCC undervoltage, the Vcc voltage drops
indefinitely. When it drops below the Vcc under voltage
lock out “OFF” voltage (10.5V), the IC will turn off the
IC and the startup cell will turn on again. Then the Vcc
voltage will be charged up to UVLO “ON” voltage (17V)
and the IC turns on again provided the startup cell
charge up current is not drained by the fault. If the fault
is not removed, the Vcc will continue to drop until it hits
UVLO “OFF” voltage and the restart cycle repeats.
Short Optocoupler can lead to Vcc undervoltage
because once the opto-coupler (transistor side) is
shorted, the feedback voltage will drop to zero and
there will be no switching pulse. Then the Vcc voltage
will drop same as the Vcc undervoltage.
3.7.3.2 Over load, open loop protection
Figure 30 Over load, open loop protection
In case of Overload or Open Loop, the FBB exceeds
4.5V which will be observed by comparator C4. Then
the built-in blanking time counter starts to count. When
it reaches 20ms, the extended blanking time counter
CT1 is activated. The switch S2 is turned on and the
voltage at the BBA pin will be discharged through 500W
resistor. When it drops to 0.9V, the switch S2 is turned
off and the Switch S1 is turned on. Then a constant
current source Ichg_EB will start to charge up BBA pin.
When the voltage hits 4.5V which is monitored by
comparator C11, the switch S1 is turned off and the

count will increase by 1. Then the switch S2 will turn on
again and the voltage will drop to 0.9V and rise to 4.5V
again. The count will then increase by 1 again. When
the total count reaches 256, the counter CT1 will stop
and it will release a high output signal. When both the
input signals at AND gate G5 is high, the odd skip Auto
Restart Mode is activated after the 30us spike blanking
time (Figure 30).
The total blanking time depends on the addition of the
built-in and the extended blanking time. If there is no
CBK capacitor at BBA pin, the count will finish within
0.1ms and the equivalent blanking time is just the built-
in time of 20ms. However, if the CBK capacitor is big
enough, it can be as long as 1s. If CBK is 0.1uF and
Ichg_EB is 720uA, the extendable blanking time is around
148.6ms and the total blanking time is 168.6ms.
Since the BBA pin is a multi-function pin, it would share
with different functions. The resistor RBO2 from
brownout feature application may however affect the
extendable blanking time (Figure 30). Thus it should
take the RBO2 into the calculation of the extendable
blanking time. For example the extended blanking time
may be changed from 148.6ms to 201.6ms for without
and having the 12.8KWRBO2 resistor. The list below
shows one particular CBK, RBO2 vs blanking time.
Another factor to affect the extended blanking time is
the input voltage through the RB01 and RB02. It would, on
the contrary, reduce the extended blanking time.
3.7.4 Brownout Mode
When the AC input voltage is removed, the voltage at
the bulk capacitor will fall. When it reaches a point that
the system is greater than the system allowed
maximum power, the system may go into over load
protection. However, this kind of protection is not
welcome for some of the applications such as auxiliary
power for PC/server system because the output is in
hiccup mode due to over load protection (auto restart
mode). The brownout mode is to eliminate this
phenomenon. The IC will sense the input voltage
through the bulk capacitor to the BBA pin by 2 potential
divider resistors, RBO1 and RBO2 (Figure 31).
When the system is powered up, the bulk capacitor and
the Vcc capacitor are charged up at the same time.
When the Vcc voltage is charged to >7V, the brownout
circuit start to operate (Figure 31). Since the UVLO is
still at low level as the Vcc voltage does not reach the
17V UVLO “ON” voltage. The NAND gate G20 will
release a low signal to the flip flop FF5 and the negative
output of FF5 will release a high signal to turn on the
switch S3. The constant load LD6 will start to draw
constant current Ichg_BO from the BBA pin. That means
the brownout mode is default “ON” during the system
starts up.
Figure 31 Brownout detection circuit
Once the system enters the brownout mode, there will
be no switching pulse and the IC enters into another
type auto-restart mode which is similar to the protection
auto-restart mode but the IC will monitor the BBA signal
in each restart cycle (Figure 32).
Figure 32 Brownout mode waveform
The voltage at bulk capacitor Vbulk continues to
increase and so is the voltage at BBA. When the BBA
voltage reaches 0.9V, the output of OPAMP C14 will
become low. Through the inverter gate G21, the “S”
input of the flip flop FF5 is changed to high. Then the
negative output of FF5 is low. The brownout mode is
then “OFF” and the constant current load LD6 is also
“OFF” through the turn-off of the S3. The system will

turn on with soft start in the coming restart cycle when
Vcc reaches the Vcc “ON” voltage 17V.
When there is an input voltage drop, the BBA voltage
also drops. When the voltage at BBA pin falls below
0.9V, the output of OPAMP C14 is changed to high.
The inverter gate G22 will change the high input to low
output. Then the NAND gate G22 will have a high
output. The negative output of the flip flop FF5 is then
become high. The constant load LD6 is “ON” again and
the IC enters the brownout mode where the Vcc swings
between 10.5V and 17V without any switching pulse.
The formula to calculate the RBO1 and RBO2 are as
below.
RBO1=Vhys/Ichg_BO
RBO2=Vref_BO*RBO1/(VBO_l -Vref_BO)
where VBO_l: input brownout voltage (low point); Vhys:
input brownout hysteresis voltage; Vref_BO: IC reference
voltage for brownout; RBO1 and RBO2: resistors divider
from input voltage to BBA pin
For example,
Ichg_BO=10uA, Vref_BO=0.9V,
Case 1:
if brownout voltage is 70Vac on and 100Vac off,
then brownout voltage, VBO_l=100Vdc,
hysteresis voltage, VBO_hys=43Vdc,
RBO1=4.3MW, RBO2=39KW
Case 2:
if brownout voltage is 100Vac on and 120Vac off,
then brownout voltage, VBO_l=141Vdc,
hysteresis voltage, VBO_hys=28Vdc,
RBO1=2.8MW, RBO2=18KW
Case 3:
if brownout voltage is 120Vac on and 160Vac off,
then brownout voltage, VBO_l=169Vdc,
hysteresis voltage, VBO_hys=56Vdc,
RBO1=5.6MW, RBO2=30KW
The summary is listed below.
Note: The above calculation assumes the tapping point
(bulk capacitor) has a stable voltage with no ripple
voltage. If there is ripple in the input voltage, it should
take the highest voltage for the calculation; VBO_l +
ripple voltage. Besides that the low side brownout
voltage VBO_l added with the ripple voltage at the
tapping point should always be lower than the high side
brownout voltage (VBO_h); VBO_h > VBO_l + ripple
voltage. Otherwise, the brownout feature cannot work
properly. In short, when there is a high load running in
system before entering brownout, the input ripple
voltage will increase and the brownout voltage will
increase (VBO_l = VBO_l + ripple voltage) at the same
time. If the VBO_hys is set too small and is close to the
ripple voltage, then the brownout feature cannot work
properly (VBO_l = VBO_h).
If the brownout feature is not needed, it needs to tie the
BBA pin to the Vcc pin through a current limiting
resistor, 500KW~1MW. The BBA pin cannot be in
floating condition. If the brownout feature is disabled
with a tie up resistor, there is a limitation of the
capacitor CBK at the BBA pin. It is as below.
3.7.5 Action sequence at BBA pin
Since there are 3 functions at the same BBA pin;
brownout, extended blanking time and the auto-restart
enable, the actions of sequence are set as per the
below table in case of several features happens
simultaneously.
The top row of the table is the first happened feature
and the left column is the second happened feature.
For example,
Case 1:
The “Auto-restart enable” feature happened first and it
follows with the “Extended blanking time” feature. Then
the “Auto-restart enable” feature will continue to hold
and the “Extended blanking time” feature is ignored.

Functional Description
Version 2.1a 21 11 Jan 2012
Case 2:
The “Extended blanking time” feature happened first
and it follows with the “Auto-restart enable” feature.
Then the “Auto-restart enable” feature will take the
priority and the “Extended blanking time” feature is
overridden.
Case 3:
The “Extended blanking time” feature happened first
and it follows with the “Brownout” feature. Then the
“Extended blanking time” feature will continue to work
until it ends. After that if the over load fault is removed
the “Brownout” feature takes the action.
Case 4:
The “Brownout” feature happened first and it follows
with the “Auto-restart enable” feature. Then the
“Brownout” feature will continue to work and the “Auto-
restart enable” feature is ignored.
One typical case happened is that the “Extended
blanking time” feature happened first and it follows with
the “Brownout” feature. If, however, the over load fault
is removed before the end of the extended blanking
time, the “Brownout” feature can take action only after
20ms buffer time.

Input Power Curve
Version 2.1a 29 11 Jan 2012
6 Input Power Curve
Two input power curves giving the typical input power versus ambient temperature are showed below;
Vin=85Vac~265Vac (Figure 37) and Vin=230Vac+/-15% (Figure 38). The curves are derived based on a typical
discontinuous mode flyback model which considers either 50% maximum duty ratio or 100V maximum secondary
to primary reflected voltage (higher priority). The calculation is based on no copper area as heatsink for the device.
The input power already includes the power loss at input common mode choke, bridge rectifier and the
CoolMOS.The device saturation current (ID_Puls @ Tj=125°C) is also considered.
To estimate the output power of the device, it is simply multiplying the input power at a particular operating ambient
temperature with the estimated efficiency for the application. For example, a wide range input voltage (Figure 37),
operating temperature is 50°C, estimated efficiency is 85%, then the estimated output power is 44W (52W * 85%).

Schematic for recommended PCB layout
Version 2.1a 32 11 Jan 2012
9 Schematic for recommended PCB layout
Figure 41 Schematic for recommended PCB layout
General guideline for PCB layout design using F3 CoolSET (refer to Figure 41):
1. “Star Ground “at bulk capacitor ground, C11:
“Star Ground “means all primary DC grounds should be connected to the ground of bulk capacitor C11
separately in one point. It can reduce the switching noise going into the sensitive pins of the CoolSET device
effectively. The primary DC grounds include the followings.
a. DC ground of the primary auxiliary winding in power transformer, TR1, and ground of C16 and Z11.
b. DC ground of the current sense resistor, R12
c. DC ground of the CoolSET device, GND pin of IC11; the signal grounds from C13, C14, C15 and collector of
IC12 should be connected to the GND pin of IC11 and then “star “connect to the bulk capacitor ground.
d. DC ground from bridge rectifier, BR1
e. DC ground from the bridging Y-capacitor, C4
2. High voltage traces clearance:
High voltage traces should keep enough spacing to the nearby traces. Otherwise, arcing would incur.
a. 400V traces (positive rail of bulk capacitor C11) to nearby trace: > 2.0mm
b. 600V traces (drain voltage of CoolSET IC11) to nearby trace: > 2.5mm
3. Filter capacitor close to the controller ground:
Filter capacitors, C13, C14 and C15 should be placed as close to the controller ground and the controller pin
as possible so as to reduce the switching noise coupled into the controller.
Guideline for PCB layout design when >3KV lightning surge test applied (refer to Figure 41):
1. Add spark gap
Spark gap is a pair of saw-tooth like copper plate facing each other which can discharge the accumulated
charge during surge test through the sharp point of the saw-tooth plate.
a. Spark Gap 3 and Spark Gap 4, input common mode choke, L1:
Gap separation is around 1.5mm (no safety concern)
CoolSET®-F3R80
ICE3AR0680JZ
Schematic for recommended PCB layout
Version 2.1a 33 11 Jan 2012
b. Spark Gap 1 and Spark Gap 2, Live / Neutral to GROUND:
These 2 Spark Gaps can be used when the lightning surge requirement is >6KV.
230Vac input voltage application, the gap separation is around 5.5mm
115Vac input voltage application, the gap separation is around 3mm
2. Add Y-capacitor (C2 and C3) in the Live and Neutral to ground even though it is a 2-pin input
3. Add negative pulse clamping diode, D11 to the Current sense resistor, R12:
The negative pulse clamping diode can reduce the negative pulse going into the CS pin of the CoolSET and
reduce the abnormal behavior of the CoolSET. The diode can be a fast speed diode such as IN4148.
The principle behind is to drain the high surge voltage from Live/Neutral to Ground without passing through the
sensitive components such as the primary controller, IC11.
