It is a highly integrated solution, requiring few external components. It features a high frequency of operation, accurately programmable maximum duty cycle, current mode control, line voltage monitoring, supply UVLO, low start-up current, and programmable soft start with user accessible reference. It operates in a fixed frequency, highly desirable for Telecom applications. The output for switch is complementary to each other with programmable delay between each transition. The active technique allows single ended converters beyond 50% duty cycle and greater flux swing for the power transformer while reducing voltage stresses on the switches. The separate sync pin simplifies synchronization to an external clock. Feeding the oscillator of one device to the sync of another forces biphase operation which reduces input ripple and filter size.

This pin is shunt regulated at 17.5V which is sufficiently below the voltage rating of the DMOS output driver stage. VDD should be bypassed with a 1F ceramic capacitor. 2 16 LUVLO Line undervoltage lock out pin. An external resistive divider will program the undervoltage lock out level. During the LUVLO, the Driver OUT1 is disabled and the softstart is reset. OUT2 continues with a fixed on time of DELAY 1 + DELAY2 approximately. 3 1 SYNC SYNC is a positive edge triggered input with a threshold set to 2.1V. In the Bi-Phase operation mode the SYNC pin should be connected to the CT (Timing Capacitor) of the second controller. This will force a out of phase operation. In a single controller operation, SYNC could be grounded or connected to an external synchronization clock with a frequency higher than the on-board oscillator frequency. The external OSC frequency should be 30% greater for guaranteed SYNC operation. 4 2 RCT The oscillator frequency is configured by connecting resistor RT from VREF to RCT and capacitor CT from RCT to ground.

The RAMP is discharged to GND when OUT1 is low and allowed to charge when OUT1 is high.

Under normal soft start SS is discharged to less than 0.65V and then ramps positive to 1V during which time the OUT1 is held low. As SS charges from 1V to 2.5V, soft start is implemented by an increasing output duty cycle. If SS is taken below 0.5V, the output driver is inhibited and held low. The user accessible 4V (A and D) or 5V (B, C and E) voltage reference also goes low and IDD = 100A. 10 8 CS Current sense input is provided via the CS pin. The current sense input from a sense resistor provides current feedback to the PWM comparator and current limit signal to terminate the PWM pulse. When a pulse peak voltage provided at this pin exceeds 600mV, a soft-restart sequence will follow. Slope compensation is derived from the rising voltage at the timing capacitor and can be buffered with an external small signal PNP transistor. 11 9 FB This pin is used to generate a reset signal when compared to CS for the PWM comparator with an offset voltage of 600mV and 1/2 attenuation.

D19, R59, C37, T5, C36, D15 and R53 construct the driving circuit for the auxiliary reset switch M15. The secondary side bias circuit composed of R50, D13 and C38 is regulated to about 7.5V via a linear regulator composed of R57, Q7 D16 and C39. The feedback of the converter is composed of U10 (SC431), U11, R73, C47, C45, R72, R76, R70 and C46. A self-driven configuration was adopted on the secondary side for driving the synchronous rectification FETs. One extra winding (Pin8~Pin9) was added at the bottom side of the power transformer's secondary side to drive the freewheeling FET. The forward FET was driven directly from the top of the power winding. Primary side auxiliary winding was used to generated primary side bias to improve the converter's efficiency. SC4810 is the PWM controller which processes the voltage feedback plus current signal and generates driving signals to drive the main switch and auxiliary reset switch. SC1302A is a dual driver IC which is capable of sourcing 3A peak current. To obtain the best performance, SC1302A is adopted to drive M17 and M15 in the Semtech application circuits. SC4810 features dual complementary driving signals. And SC4810 also provides adjustable leading-edge delay time for the driving signals, which helps to achieve zero-voltage switching in active clamp forward converter. R75 and R79 are the two resistors available to adjust the delay for the complementary driving. C50 is the soft-start capacitor. R61 and R65 construct the voltage divider for the line under voltage lock out protection. R64 and C44 construct the circuit for the programmable power transformer voltage-second production protection limits. This special protection function provide the voltage-second balance for the power transformer under different input line conditions. R78 and R74 also provide an extra maximum duty cycle protection for the power converter. The final configuration of the power transformer is illustrated as Fig. 2. 2 6T(PRI) 4 1 2T(PRI AUX) 6 1T(SEC) 10 9 1T(SEC AUX) 8 1T(SEC) 7 Fig.2 Illustration of the power transformer PA0576 (PUSLE ENGINEERING) For detailed information about PA0576, please check the appendix on page 17. Power MOSFET Selection The selection of the switching power MOSFET is based on the peak & RMS current rating, the total gate charge, Rds and drain to source voltage rating. In this application, SI4842 was chosen for the secondary side synchronous rectification MOSFET. And SI4488 was chosen for the primary side main switching and reset MOSFET. The clock signal is generated by C49 and R77. When VDD of SC4810 hits the threshold voltage, VREF jumps up to 5.0V. VREF charges C49 via R77. C49 will be discharged via an internal FET whenever the voltage on C49 reaches 3.0V. The selection of C49 and R77 is described in the "Set Clock Frequency" section on the following page. Q9 works as a buffer between the clock signal and the slope compensation signal to minimize the interference on the system clock signal. R80 is a pull-up resistor tied to VREF. Since SYNC function is not utilized, SYNC pin is grounded via R71. Output Filter Design The output filtering circuit consists of the output inductor and output capacitors. The design of the output capacitor usually depends on the specification of the requirement of the output ripple. Given the worst case output ripple requirement and peak to peak output current ripple plus the duty ratio under the different line and load condition, output capacitance is calculated to meet the output ripple requirement. After all, ESR and ESL of the output capacitor under certain switching frequency should also be considered during the calculation. The value of the Power Transformer Design A power transformer with the turns ration of 6 to 1 was designed for this application. With the turns ratio of 6:1, the duty ratio under different input line and load conditions were calculated to verify feasibility. 2004 Semtech Corp. 11 10 www.semtech.com SC4810A/B/C/D/E POWER MANAGEMENT Application Information (Cont.) output inductance would affect the peak to peak value of the output current, which would also influence the output voltage ripple. The designer needs to take the output inductance and output capacitance and the ESL and ESR of the output capacitor into consideration during the design. VRCT 0V t Fig.4 Voltage Waveform on RCT Pin For this application, one Panasonic power choke output inductor was selected and three 6.3V, 100uF TDK ceramic capacitors were adopted in the design. As illustrated, the capacitor C is charged via the resistor R from VREF. Whenever the voltage on the RCT pin reaches 3V, the capacitor C will be discharged through an internal FET shorted to ground. When the clock signal circuit is connected as in Fig.3, the frequency of the clock signal is defined, as in equation 2. Selection of the Current Sensing Resistor The selection of the current sensing resistor is based on the over-current protection triggering point. SC4810 employs a Hiccup mode over-current protection with an overcurrent threshold of 600mV. A voltage signal above 600mV on the CS pin will trigger hiccup mode overcurrent protection. Suppose the over-current protection setpoint is set to be Iov. The threshold voltage of SC4810 is Vthreshold. The turns ratio of the power transformer is Ns/Np. The turns ratio of the current sensing transformer is Ncs:1. Then the Rsense would be calculated as: R sense = VPK 3V F= 1 V - (RT + 1k ) * CT * ln 1 - P-K VREF ........( 2) V REF is the reference voltage of the SC4810, 4V for SC4810A/D and 5V for SC4810B/C/E. In this application, to get 600kHz, C = 180pF, (R + 1k) = 10k ohms and VP-K = 3V. VThreshold x NP x NCS ......(1) IOV x NS Maximum Duty Ratio Limit SC4810 features maximum duty ratio limitation for extra protection. The maximum duty ratio is determined by the voltage on DMAX pin. As illustrated as in Fig. 5, VDMAX will be compared with VRCT and DMAX is determined by the comparison of the two signals. Set Clock Frequency The SC4810 uses a pair of resistors and capacitors to generate a triangle signal as the clock signal, as illustrated in Fig. 3. VRCT RCT VREF C R Fig. 3 Configuration for Clock Signal The voltage waveform on the RCT pin is illustrated as in Fig. 4. 2004 Semtech Corp. 11 www.semtech.com SC4810A/B/C/D/E POWER MANAGEMENT Application Information (Cont.)

So the DMAX = 90%. VIN Limit for Power Transformer Voltage Second Product R The SC4810 also features programmable limits for power transformer voltage-second product. As illustrated in Fig. 6 and Fig. 7 RAMP pin is charged up via a resistor R from the input line voltage. The capacitor C will be discharged via an internal FET shorted to ground and the output OUT1 will be pulled low whenever the voltage on RAMP pin hits 3V. By adjusting the values of the resistor R and the value of the capacitor C, the maximum voltage-second product imposed on the power transformer is preset. The maximum voltage-second product limitation helps prevent saturation of the power transformer. 2004 Semtech Corp. RAMP C Fig. 7 Illustration for Maximum voltagesecond product on the power transformer The selection of the R and C should consider the maximum voltage rating of the main switching FET. In this application, the voltage rating of SI4488 is 150V. Since Vin*D/(1-D) = 150V, D = 0.8 for low line 36V. So to get 80% at low line, R = 165kOhms and C = 220pF were selected using volt-second product equation: 3 * Ramp * Cramp. 12 www.semtech.com SC4810A/B/C/D/E POWER MANAGEMENT Application Information (Cont.) VDD and LUVLO SC4810 features three different input turn-on voltage thresholds, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics on page 2. V starts to regulate when the supply voltage on the VDD pin is above the turn-on voltage threshold. V drops to ground when VDD is lower than the turn-on threshold minus the hysteresis value. The soft start cap remains grounded as long as LUVLO is below the threshold voltage 3V. The soft start cap will be charged up through an internal 5uA current source when LUVLO is above the threshold voltage. REF REF Soft Start The soft-start function is implemented by charging the soft-start cap through an internal 5uA current source. Under normal soft-start, the SS pin is discharged below 0.65V and ramps up to 1V, during which time the output driving signals OUT1 and OUT2 are held low. During the time when the SS pin is charged from 1V to 2.5V, softstart is implemented by an increasing output duty ratio. The duty ratio is completely under the control of the feedback after the SS pin is above 2.5V. When the SS pin is pulled down below 0.5V, OUT1 and OUT2 will be held low and the VREF pin will be grounded via an internal FET. Complementary Driving with Programmable Delays The SC4810 features dual driving signals to drive two power switches complementarily. This feature makes the SC4810 suitable for a variety of applications in which dual complimentary driving signals are needed. The SC4810 even provides programmable driving delay as an extra feature for applications such as active-clamp forward topology. The users can program the driving delay by adjusting the resistors tied to pin DELAY1 and pin DELAY2 respectively to achieve the optimum delay for each output. The delay of OUT1 is controlled by the resistor tied to pin DELAY1 and the delay of OUT2 is controlled by the resistor tied to pin DELAY2. For illustration, see Fig. 8. 2004 Semtech Corp. Over Current Protection The SC4810 provides Hiccup mode over-current protection when the sensed current signals are beyond 0.6V. When the hiccup mode over-current protection is triggered, the soft-start cap will be discharged immediately by an internal grounded FET. When the softstart pin SS is pulled down below 1V, OUT1 and OUT2 will be disabled, and a soft re-start sequence will follow. SC4810 can also be configured to implement cycle-bycycle over-current limit. As illustrated in Fig. 9, cycle-bycycle over-current limitation can be achieved by adjusting the values of R1 and R2 to limit the voltage of FB pin to less than the threshold voltage (0.6Volt) of the hiccup over-current protection, using equations (3) and (4). 13 www.semtech.com SC4810A/B/C/D/E POWER MANAGEMENT Application Information (Cont.) guaranteed synchronization.

PCB Layout Guidelines PCB layout is very critical, and the following should be used to insure proper operation of the SC4810. High switching currents are present in applications and their effect on ground plane must be understood and minimized. 6) The feed back connection between the error amplifier and the FB pin should be kept as short as possible, and the GND connections should be to the quiet GND used for the SC4810. 7) If an opto-coupler is used for isolation, quiet primary and secondary ground planes should be used. The same precautions should be followed for the primary GND plane as mentioned in item 5. For the secondary GND plane, the GND plane method mentioned in item 4 should be followed. 8) All the noise sensitive components such as VDD bypass capacitor, RCT oscillator resistor/capacitor network, DMAX resistive divider, VREF by pass capacitor, delay setting resistors, current sensing circuitry and feedback circuitry should be connected as close as possible to the SC4810. The GND return should be connected to the quiet SC4810 GND plane. 9) The connection from the OUT of the SC4810 should be minimized to avoid any stray inductance. If the layout can not be optimized due to constraints, a small Schottky diode may be connected from the OUT pin to the ground directly at the IC. This will clamp excessive negative voltages at the IC. 10) If the SYNC function is not used, the SYNC pin should be grounded at the SC4810 GND to avoid noise pick up. 1) The high power parts of the circuit should be placed on a board first. A ground plane should be used. Isolated or semi-isolated areas of the ground plane may be deliberately introduced to constrain ground currents to particular areas, for example the input capacitor and the main switch FET ground. 2) The loop formed by the Input Capacitor(s) (Cin), the main transformer and the main switch FET must be kept as small as possible. This loop contains all the high fast transient switching current. Connections should be as wide and as short as possible to minimize loop inductance. Minimizing this loop area will a) reduce EMI, b) lower ground injection currents, resulting in electrically "cleaner" grounds for the rest of the system and c) minimize source ringing, resulting in more reliable gate switching signals. 3) The connection between FETs and the main transformer should be a wide trace or copper region. It should be as short as practical. Since this connection has fast voltage transitions, keeping this connection short will minimize EMI. 4) The output capacitor(s) (Cout) should be located as close to the load as possible. Fast transient load currents are supplied by Cout only. Connections between Cout and the load must be short, wide copper areas to minimize inductance and resistance. 5) A 0.1uF to 1uF ceramic capacitor should be directly connected between VDD and PGND and a 1uF to 4.7uF ceramic capacitor between VREF and PGND. The SC4810 is best placed over a quiet ground plane area. Avoid pulse currents in the Cin and the main switch FET loop flowing in this area. GND should be returned to the ground plane close to the package and close to the ground side of (one of) the VDD supply capacitor(s). Under no circumstances should GND be returned to a ground inside the Cin and the main switch FET loop. This can be achieved by making a star connection between the quiet GND planes that the SC4810 will be connected to and the noisy high current GND planes connected to the FETs. 2004 Semtech Corp. 15 www.semtech.com Vin=48V C10 1u,100V TP11 C12 1u,100V R38 1.47K C25 220pF Q6 FMMT718 R30 10K C22 220pF R23 160K R61 200K R31 7.5K R35 10K D20 MMSZ4697(10V) C11 1u,100V TP12 R36 7.5K R37 100K C21 100pF R57 5.1 SY NC RAMP SC4810 0(short) TP13 10K 9 16 11 10 15 13 C20 1uF 0.1uF C50 SS VREF FB CS OUT1 OUT2 U3 C19 1uF C27 R33 100K DELAY 2 DELAY 1 DMAX RCT C53 1uF C16 47uF/16V R43 8 7 5 4 3 6 R24 100K R21 1.1M 1N4148WS D21 Q10 FMMT493 R13 open C13 22nF/100V 1 8 7 6 5 C15 0.1uF U2 SC1302A C24 1uF 4 2 R56 5.1 D7 1N4148WS D6 1N4148WS 5 TP10 7 10 C18 0.1uF R22 TP2 Q2 FMMT718 TP8 open R15 8 9 11 7 7 R28 10K 8 7 6 5 R19 10K M10Si4842DY 1 2 3 4 8 7 6 5 1 2 3 4 1.5K R44 R60 open C4 0.1uF R2 5.1K 5 6 7 8 5.11K R3 M2 Open MMSZ4702(15V) D3 R54 5.1 M1 Open C52 0.1uF U4 SC431 4 3 2 1 U1 MOCD207 C17 180pF R17 1K R63 10K R20 8.2(16//16) R18 1K M7 SI2308 M14 SI2308 M9 SI2308 M13 Si4488DY TP7 R8 10K TP4 C3 0.1uF M8 Si4842DY 1 2 3 4 8 7 6 5 M6 Open M12 Open 3 P8208T 8 T3 1 4 2 6 1 T1 PA0944G 10 M11 Open R42 2.4K Q5 FMMT718 D10 1N4148WS D9 1N5819HW TP9 T2 PE68386 10K D11 1N5819HW R10 1 M5 2 Si4488DY 3 4 C5 0.1uF 5.11 D2 1N4148WS D1 TP3 R29 6.34K R25 5.1K open TP6 U6 SC431 open R14 R16 1K C14 R9 10K C8 100uF 10Vbias C7 100uF 10Vbias R34 1K C26 47nF R62 4.75K C23 open TP14 C6 680uF L1 M3 Si4842DY M4 Si4842DY 1.3uH D4 MMSZ4698(11V) C2 0.1uF Q1 FMMT618 5 6 7 8 4 3 2 1 1N4148WS 5 6 7 8 4 3 2 1 D5 1N4148WS 6 D8 MMSZ4698(11V) Q3 FZT853 6 1 4 1 5 6 7 8 4 3 2 1 R1 5 6 7 8 4 3 2 1 R12 5.1K 2 LUVLO GND 12 VDD PGND 14 8 5 6 7 8 4 3 2 1 3 3 5 6 7 8 16 4 3 2 1 5 6 7 8 2004 Semtech Corp. 4 3 2 1 C1 2.2nF/630V 15.8K R40 R32 5.1K R52 51 C51 open R50 open C9 100uF TP5 Vout=3.3V/20A SC4810A/B/C/D/E POWER MANAGEMENT SC4810B Evaluation Board -
