AS2916
Primary Side PWM Controller
DESCRIPTION The AS2916 is a dual, full featured, pulse width modulation controller. The second controller is intended to run the auxiliary supply. Both controllers share common oscillator and power up logic. Based on an improved AS3842, the AS2916 provides additional features that reduce component count and improve specifications in a wide range of power supply designs. The added functionality also includes bulk voltage sensing, overvoltage input and soft start. The PWM function is controlled by the current sense comparator for normal current mode control and a second comparator for voltage mode soft start. A buffered RAMP signal is available for slope compensation without loading the oscillator. The output stage is a high current totem pole output that sees only 140 ns delay from the PWM comparators. The AS2916 requires less than 25 µA of startup current. The undervoltage lockout (UVLO) thresholds are nominally 13.5 V for turn on and 7.5 V for turn off. The oscillator discharge current is trimmed to provide guaranteed duty cycle clamping. The AS2916 has a second low frequency oscillator, which frequency modulates the operating frequency of the PWM by 25 %, thus reducing EMI emissions..

PIN FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
Pin Number 1 Function OUTB Description This is the gate drive output for the Main FET. The totem pole output has equivalent of an extra 10 Ω resistor to limit the FET turn on speed and a pull down reisistor to ensure the FET gate is never open. No external circuitry except for the FET is expected on this pin. The largest FET expected to be driven is IRFBC40. If a larger power FET is used, a buffer might be required. Positive supply for the IC. Absolute maximum rating is 20 V. The running voltage shall be provided by the Auxiliary convertor. Output of 5 V series regulator. This is the Main convertor current sense pin. An external RC filter from the Main power FET and slope compensation resistor from the RAMP pin is all the expected external circuitry. This is the Main output control pin. An opto isolated control signal from the secondary side error amplifier is buffered and connected to the invert pin of the main output current mode comparator. A pull-up current of 1 mA is provided so the only external circuitry expected is a common emitter optoisolator. This pin provides a 6 µA current source to linearly charge an external capacitor. This pin is compared to the RAMP pin in the soft start comparator, terminating output pulses when RAMP goes above the SS voltage. While this pin is held low, the main output is inhibited. This pin is a level-shifted and buffered oscillator waveform, used to provide slope compensation for the Main and Auxiliary converters. The pin also serves as the non-inverting input of the soft-start comparator. Oscillator frequency and maximum duty cycle are set by connecting a resistor (RT) to VREG and a capacitor (CT) to ground. Provides an FM modulation of the oscillator, approximately ± 25 % deviation frequency, at a modulation rate set by an external cap at WBL. Shorting to GND eliminates modulation. This pin is used to remotely turn the main convertor ON/OFF either for normal user application or for protection. Bulk OK. This is a brownout protection feature. The pin monitors the bulk voltage through a resistor divider. When BOK exceeds 2.5 V a 50 µA current is sourced from the pin for hysteresis. When the pin drops below 2.5 V the hysteresis is turned off and SS is pulled low, inhibiting the main output. The Auxiliary output is not tied to BOK and will run as long as there is sufficient bias voltage. 12 CMPA This is the Auxiliary convertor error amplifier compensation pin or if secondary controller is desired, the Auxiliary control input pin. A simple capacitor to ground is the only circuitry expected. Note: There is no external connection for voltage feedback. Voltage sensing is provided internally in such way that VCC is not loaded until it reaches predefined threshold. If secondary control is required, it can be forced into the CMPA pin. 13 SNSA This is the Auxiliary convertor current sense pin. An external RC filter from the Auxiliary power FET and slope compensation resistor from the RAMP pin is all the expected external circuitry.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Electrical characteristics are guaranteed over the full junction temperature range (0-105 °C). Ambient temperature must be derated based upon power dissipation and package thermal characteristics. The conditions are: VCC = 15 V, BOK = 3 V, ON = 3 V, RT = 680 Ω, CT = 10 nF, and CWBL=2.2nF, unless otherwise stated. To override UVLO, VCC should be raised above UVLOhigh prior to test.
