Description
In general, a Quasi-Resonant Converter (QRC) shows lower
EMI and higher power conversion efficiency compared to
conventional hard-switched converter with a fixed switching
frequency. Therefore, a QRC is well suited for noise-
sensitive applications, such as color TV and audio. Each
product in the FSCQ-Series contains an integrated Pulse
Width Modulation (PWM) controller and a SenseFET, and
is specifically designed for quasi-resonant off-line Switch
Mode Power Supplies (SMPS) with minimal external
components. The PWM controller includes an integrated fixed
frequency oscillator, under voltage lockout, leading edge
blanking (LEB), optimized gate driver, internal soft start,
temperature-compensated precise current sources for a loop
compensation, and self protection circuitry. Compared with a
discrete MOSFET and PWM controller solution, the FSCQ-
Series can reduce total cost, component count, size, and weight,
while simultaneously increasing efficiency, productivity, and
system reliability. These devices provide a basic platform
that is well suited for cost-effective designs of quasi-resonant
switching flyback converters.

Pin Number Pin Name Pin Function Description
1 Drain High voltage power SenseFET drain connection.
2 GND This pin is the control ground and the SenseFET source.
3 Vcc This pin is the positive supply input. This pin provides internal operatingcurrent for both start-up and steady-state operation.
4 Vfb
This pin is internally connected to the inverting input of the PWM comparator.
The collector of an opto-coupler is typically tied to this pin. For stable
operation, a capacitor should be placed between this pin and GND. If the
voltage of this pin reaches 7.5V, the over load protection triggers, which
results in the FPS shutting down.
5 Sync
This pin is internally connected to the sync detect comparator for quasi-
resonant switching. In normal quasi-resonant operation, the threshold of the
sync comparator is 4.6V/2.6V. Whereas, the sync threshold is changed to
3.0V/1.8V in an extended quasi-resonant operation.

Functional Description
1. Startup: Figure 4 shows the typical startup circuit and
the transformer auxiliary winding for the FSCQ-Series.
Before the FSCQ-Series begins switching, it consumes only
startup current (typically 25uA). The current supplied from
the AC line charges the external capacitor (Ca1) that is
connected to the Vcc pin. When Vcc reaches the start voltage
of 15V (VSTART), the FSCQ-Series begins switching, and its
current consumption increases to IOP. Then, the FSCQ-
Series continues its normal switching operation and the
power required for the FSCQ-Series is supplied from the
transformer auxiliary winding, unless Vcc drops below the
stop voltage of 9V (VSTOP). To guarantee the stable operation
of the control IC, Vcc has under voltage lockout (UVLO)
with 6V hysteresis. Figure 5 shows the relationship between
the operating supply current of the FSCQ-Series and the
supply voltage (Vcc).
Figure 4. Startup circuit
Figure 5. Relationship Between Operating Supply Current
and Vcc Voltage
The minimum average of the current supplied from the AC is
given by
where Vacmin is the minimum input voltage, Vstart is the
FSCQ-Series start voltage (15V), and Rstr is the startup
resistor. The startup resistor should be chosen so that Isupavg
is larger than the maximum startup current (50uA).
Once the resistor value is determined, the maximum loss in
the startup resistor is obtained as
where Vacmax is the maximum input voltage. The startup
resistor should have properly-rated dissipation wattage.
2. Synchronization: The FSCQ-Series employs a quasi-
resonant switching technique to minimize the switching noise
and loss. In this technique, a capacitor (Cr) is added between
the MOSFET drain and the source as shown in Figure 6. The
basic waveforms of the quasi-resonant converter are shown in
Figure 7. The external capacitor lowers the rising slope of the
drain voltage to reduce the EMI caused when the MOSFET
turns off. To minimize the MOSFET’s switching loss, the
MOSFET should be turned on when the drain voltage reaches
its minimum value as shown in Figure 7.

Figure 7. Quasi-resonant Operation Waveforms
The minimum drain voltage is indirectly detected by
monitoring the Vcc winding voltage as shown in Figure 6
and 8. Choose voltage dividers, RSY1 and RSY2, so that the
peak voltage of the sync signal (Vsypk) is lower than the
OVP voltage (12V) to avoid triggering OVP in normal
operation. It is typical to set Vsypk to be lower than OVP
voltage by 3-4 V. To detect the optimum time to turn on
MOSFET, the sync capacitor (CSY) should be determined so
that TR is the same with TQ as shown in Figure 8. The TR and
TQ are given as, respectively
where Lm is the primary side inductance of the transformer,
and Ns and Na are the number of turns for the output
winding and Vcc winding, respectively, VFo and VFa are the
diode forward voltage drops of the output winding and Vcc
winding, respectively, and Ceo is the sum of the output
capacitance of the MOSFET and the external capacitor, Cr.
Figure 8. Normal Quasi-Resonant Operation Waveforms
Figure 9. Extended Quasi-Resonant Operation
In general, the QRC has a limitation in a wide load range
application, since the switching frequency increases as the
output load decreases, resulting in a severe switching loss in
the light load condition. To overcome this limitation, the
FSCQ-Series employs an extended quasi-resonant switching
operation. Figure 9 shows the mode change between normal
and extended quasi-resonant operations. In the normal quasi-
resonant operation, the FSCQ-Series enters into the extended
quasi-resonant operation when the switching frequency
exceeds 90kHz as the load reduces. To reduce the switching
frequency, the MOSFET is turned on when the drain voltage
reaches the second minimum level, as shown in Figure 10.

FSCQ-SERIES
15
Once the FSCQ-Series enters into the extended quasi-
resonant operation, the first sync signal is ignored. After the
first sync signal is applied, the sync threshold levels are
changed from 4.6V and 2.6V to 3V and 1.8V, respectively,
and the MOSFET turn-on time is synchronized to the second
sync signal. The FSCQ-Series returns to its normal quasi-
resonant operation when the switching frequency reaches
45kHz as the load increases.

3. Feedback Control: The FSCQ-Series employs current
mode control, as shown in Figure 11. An opto-coupler (such
as Fairchild’s H11A817A) and shunt regulator (such as
Fairchild’s KA431) are typically used to implement the
feedback network. Comparing the feedback voltage with the
voltage across the Rsense resistor plus an offset voltage
makes it possible to control the switching duty cycle. When
the reference pin voltage of the KA431 exceeds the internal
reference voltage of 2.5V, the H11A817A LED current
increases, pulling down the feedback voltage and reducing
the duty cycle. This event typically happens when the input
voltage is increased or the output load is decreased.
3.1 Pulse-by-Pulse Current Limit: Because current mode
control is employed, the peak current through the
SenseFET is limited by the inverting input of the PWM
comparator (Vfb*) as shown in Figure 11. The feedback
current (IFB) and internal resistors are designed so that the
maximum cathode voltage of diode D2 is about 2.8V, which
occurs when all IFB flows through the internal resistors.
Since D1 is blocked when the feedback voltage (Vfb)
exceeds 2.8V, the maximum voltage of the cathode of D2 is
clamped at this v
