The NCP1562x is a family of voltage mode controllers designed for dc--dc converters requiring high--efficiency and low parts count. These controllers incorporate two in phase outputs with an overlap delay to prevent simultaneous conduction and facilitates soft switching. The main output is designed for driving a forward converter primary MOSFET. The secondary output is designed for driving an active clamp circuit MOSFET, a synchronous rectifier on the secondary side, or an asymmetric half bridge circuit.

The NCP1562 family reduces component count and system size by incorporating high accuracy on critical specifications such as maximum duty cycle limit, undervoltage detector and overcurrent threshold. Two distinctive features of the NCP1562 are soft--stop and a cycle skip current limit with a time threshold. Soft--stop circuitry powers down the converter in a controlled manner if a severe fault is detected. The cycle skip detector enables a soft--stop sequence if a continuous overcurrent condition is present.

Additional features found in the NCP1562 include line feed--forward, frequency synchronization up to 1.0 MHz, cycle--by—cycle current limit with leading edge blanking (LEB), independent under and overvoltage detectors, adjustable output overlap delay, programmable maximum duty cycle, internal startup circuit and soft--start.

NCP1562-100WGEVB方案介紹：

The NCP1562 PWM controller contains all the features and flexibility needed to implement an active clamp forward dc−dc converter. This IC operates from an input supply up to 150 V, thus covering the input voltages usually found in telecom, datacom and 42 V automotive systems. One can also note that the NCP1562 can be used in mains related applications (e.g. desktop, server, flat TVs) as it can be supplied by an auxiliary power supply.

The NCP1562 is the ideal choice for new generation isolated fixed switching frequency dc−dc converters using the active clamp topology with synchronous rectification to achieve extremely high conversion efficiency. This controller will help designers cope with their daily challenge, “small form factor highly protected module” through the following features:

· Dual Outputs with Adjustable Overlap Delay:
provide design flexibility. Output 1 (OUT1) drives the main switch in a forward or flyback converter topology.Output 2 (OUT2) can be used to drive an active clamp/reset switch, a synchronous rectifier switch, or both. OUT2 has an adjustable overlap delay to prevent simultaneous conduction of the switching elements.

· Soft−Stop:
discharges the active clamp capacitor prior to turn off to eliminate unwanted oscillations.

· An Internal Startup Regulator:
provides power to the NCP1562 during startup. Once the system powers up, the regulator is disabled, thus reducing power consumption. The regulator can be powered directly from the input line.

· Soft−Start:
allows the system to turn on in a controlled manner and reduce stress on system components.

· Adjustable Maximum Duty Ratio:
allows the design to be optimized without a penalty on drain voltage. Duty ratio is controlled within ±5%.

· Adjustable Volt-second Limit:
prevents transformer saturation and improve transient response.

· Line Feedforward:
adjusts the duty ratio inversely proportional to line voltage, allowing the controller to respond in the same cycle to line voltage changes. It provides the controller some advantages of current-mode control, while eliminating noise susceptibility, low power jitter and the need for ramp compensation.

· Dual Mode Overcurrent Protection Circuit:
handles momentary and continuous overcurrent conditions differently to provide the best tradeoff in system performance and safety.

· Line Under/Overvoltage Detector:
circuits enable the device when the line voltage is within the pre-selected voltage range. A resistor divider from the input line biases the under and overvoltage detectors. The accurate UV limit allows the converter to operate at high duty ratio without creating additional component stresses.
