AP3106
HIGH VOLTAGE GREEN MODE PWM CONTROLLER

Description Features

The AP3106 is a high voltage start-up, current mode PWM controller  High-voltage Start-up Circuit
with green-mode power-saving operation.  Low Start-up Current: 15A (Max.)
The PWM switching frequency at normal operation is externally  Current Mode Control
programmable and trimmed to a narrow range.  Programmable PWM Switching Frequency
 Non-audible-noise Green Mode Control
The AP3106 integrates a proprietary internal frequency dithering
 LEB (Leading-Edge Blanking) on SENSE Pin
function that helps to reduce EMI emission of a power supply with
minimum line filters used.  Fast OCP for Abnormal Short Circuit
 Frequency Linearly Decreasing at Light Load
To minimize the standby power consumption, a proprietary adaptive  Soft Driving
green-mode function is available to implement frequency modulation
under light-load conditions. To avoid acoustic noise problems, the  Internal Slope Compensation
minimum PWM frequency is set at about 26kHz.  Built-in Brownout Protection
 Useful Pin Fault Protection
The AP3106 integrates a lot of functions such as the Lead-Edge
Blanking (LEB) of the current sensing, internal slope compensation, CS Pin Floating
line compensation, and several protection features that include cycle- RI Pin Short to Ground
by-cycle current limit (OCP), over voltage protection, OTP, OLP and RI Pin Floating
brownout protection.
 Comprehensive System Protection
VCC Over Voltage Protection (VOVP)
The AP3106 is available in SO-7 package to realize a compact size.
Over Temperature Protection (OTP)
Constant Over Load Protection (COLP)
Short Circuit Protection (SCP)
Pin Assignments  Compact Size SO-7 Package
 Totally Lead-free & Fully RoHS Compliant (Notes 1 & 2)

Pin Descriptions

Pin Number Pin Name Function

1 RI Set the bias current to determine the normal switching frequency

Voltage feedback pin. By connecting an opto-coupler to close the control loop, it can
2 FB
achieve the system regulation

3 SENSE Current sense pin. Connect it to sense the MOSFET current

4 GND Ground

5 GATE Gate drive output to drive the external MOSFET

6 VCC Supply voltage pin

Connect this pin to positive terminal of bulk capacitor to provide the startup current for the
7 HV controller. When VCC voltage reaches UVLO (on), this HV loop will be turned off to save
the power loss of the startup circuit
