NCP1239  
Low−Standby High  
Performance PWM Controller  
Housed in SO−16 the NCP1239 represents a major leap toward  
ultra−compact Switch Mode Power Supplies specifically tailored for  
medium to high power off−line applications, e.g. notebook adapters.  
The NCP1239 offers everything needed to build a rugged and efficient  
power supply, including a dedicated event management to drive a  
Power Factor Correction (PFC) front−end circuitry. The circuit  
disables the front−end PFC stage while still in fault or standby  
conditions by interrupting the PFC controller powering for improved  
no−load consumption figures. As soon as normal operating mode  
recovers, the NCP1239 feeds back the PFC that wakes−up.

When power demand is low, the IC automatically enters the  
so−called skip−cycle mode and provides excellent efficiency at light  
loads. Because this occurs at a user adjustable low peak current, no  
acoustic noise takes place.

Maximum ratings are those values beyond which device damage can occur. Maximum ratings applied to the device are individual stress limit  
values (not normal operating conditions) and are not valid simultaneously. If these limits are exceeded, device functional operation is not implied,  
damage may occur and reliability may be affected.

PIN FUNCTION DESCRIPTION

Pin Name  
Function  
Pin Description  
1
GTS  
Shuts the PFC down in  
standby  
The standby detection block changes Pin 1 state in accordance to the mode  
(standby or normal mode). Pin1 is designed to drive an external pnp transistor that  
connects or disconnects the NCP1239’s V to the PFC’s.  
CC  
2
REF5V  
A 5V reference voltage  
This pin helps to internally bias the controller but can also be used to power  
surrounding logic gates for any purposes. The typical output current is 10 mA. This  
voltage source is disabled during the circuit startup and latched−off phases. A  
100 nF filtering capacitor must be placed between Pin 2 and ground.

6
Fault Detect  
Rt  
Enables to permanently  
shutdown the part  
If the Pin 3 voltage exceeds 2.4 V, the circuit is permanently shut down. This pin  
can be used to monitor the voltage across a thermistor in order to protect the  
application from excessive heating and/or to detect an overvoltage condition.  
Timing resistor  
Brown−Out  
Pin 4 resistor allows a precise frequency programming. The circuit is optimized to  
operate between 50 kHz and 150 kHz (NCP1239F) and between 100 kHz and  
250 kHz (NCP1239V).  
Brown−Out  
SS/Timer  
This pin receives a portion of the bulk capacitor to authorize operation above a  
certain level of mains only. It also serves to elaborate an offset voltage on Pin 9  
used for Over Power Compensation.  
Performs soft−start and  
fault timeout  
During Power on and fault conditions, the capacitor connected to this pin ensures a  
soft−start period. When a fault is detected, this pin is internally brought high by a  
current source. If 4.3 V are reached, the fault is confirmed and the circuit enters an  
auto−recovery burst mode, otherwise the pin goes back to a lower value and  
oscillates to perform frequency jittering.  
7
Skip Adjust  
Adjust skip level  
By adjusting the skip−cycle level, it is possible to fight against noisy transformers  
and modify the standby detection thresholds. Keep Pin 7 open to operate with the  
default levels (skip threshold setpoint: 140 mV, normal mode recovery setpoint:  
250 mV).

This terminal sources a constant current. Connect a resistor between Pin 9 and  
Ground to select the maximum duty−cycle.

CS  
The current sense input  
This pin receives the primary current information via a sense element. By inserting  
a resistor in series with this pin, it becomes possible to introduce ramp  
compensation.

NCP1239  
APPLICATION INFORMATION  
The NCP1239 includes all necessary features to help  
detected mode (standby or normal mode). Simply connect a  
pnp transistor between the NCP1239 V and the PFC  
controller one and drive it using Pin 1, to enable the PFC  
stage in normal mode and disable it in standby.  
building a rugged and safe switch−mode power supply. The  
following details the major benefits brought by  
implementing the NCP1239 controller:  
CC  
Current−mode operation with internal ramp  
compensation: implementing peak current mode control,  
the NCP1239 offers an internal ramp compensation signal  
that can easily be summed up to the sensed current.  
Subharmonic oscillations can thus be fought via the  
inclusion of a simple resistor,  
Soft−Start: the capacitor connected to Pin 6 provides a  
soft−start sequence that precludes the main power switch  
from being stressed upon startup. The same voltage is also  
used to perform frequency jittering and timing for the fault  
condition detection.  
Major Fault Detection: the circuit detects when Pin 3  
voltage exceeds 2.4 V. When this occurs, the NCP1239  
considers that a major fault is present and as a consequence,  
the circuit gets permanently latched−off. In this mode, the  
500 mV Current Sense threshold for Over Power Limit  
(NCP1239F): the NCP1239 operating in current mode, the  
circuit Pin 10 monitors the current to modulate its level  
according to the power demand. Due to the ramp  
compensation, one must generally note that the Pin 10  
voltage is not the exact image of the inductor current. A  
precise current limitation being essential, the NCP1239  
features a separate current sense pin (Pin 9) for an accurate  
overcurrent detection. The low threshold of this protection  
(500 mV) avoids excessive losses in the current sense  
resistor and improves the efficiency. In addition, Pin 9  
sources a current that proportional to the high−voltage rail,  
compensates the current−sense and turn off delays at high  
line. A resistor inserted between Pin 9 and the sensing  
resistor offsets the Pin 9 current−sense information to build  
a precise overload protection, independent of the mains  
input.  
circuit needs the V to go down below 4.0 V to reset, for  
CC  
instance when the user un−plugs the SMPS. This capability  
is mainly intended to detect an overvoltage condition or/and  
an over−heating of the application that would be sensed by  
a thermistor.  
Brown−out detection: by monitoring the level on Pin 5  
during normal operation, the controller protects the SMPS  
against low mains conditions. When the Pin 5 voltage falls  
below 250 mV, the controllers stops pulsing until this level  
goes back to 500 mV to prevent any instability.  
Short−circuit protection: short−circuit and especially  
overload protections are difficult to implement when a  
strong leakage inductance affects the transformer (the  
auxiliary winding level does not properly collapse). Here,  
every time the feedback pin is at its maximum (higher than  
5.0 V practically), an error flag is asserted and the circuit  
activates a timer that is programmed by the Pin 6 capacitor.  
If Pin 6 reaches 4.3 V while the error flag is still present, the  
controller stops the pulses and goes into a latch−off phase,  
operating in a low−frequency burst−mode. As soon as the  
fault disappears, the SMPS resumes its operation. The  
latch−off phase can also be initiated, more classically, when  
Large V operation: the NCP1239 offers an extended  
CC  
V
CC  
range up to 36 V, bringing greater flexibility in Flyback  
or Forward applications.  
Internal high−voltage startup switch: reaching low  
levels of standby power represents a difficult exercise when  
the controller requires an external, lossy, resistor connected  
to the bulk capacitor. Due to an internal logic, the controller  
disables the high−voltage current source after startup which  
no longer hampers the consumption in no−load situations.  
Skip−cyclecapability: a continuous flow of pulses is not  
compatible with no−load standby power requirements.  
Slicing the switching pattern in bunch of pulses drastically  
reduces overall losses but can, in certain cases, bring  
acoustic noise in the transformer. Due to a skip operation  
taking place at low peak currents only, no mechanical noise  
appears in the transformer. Furthermore, the skip threshold  
is made programmable to allow the best trade−off between  
noise and efficiency.  
V
CC  
drops below UVLO (11.2 V typical).  
Adjustable frequency and Internal dithering for  
improved EMI signature: Pin 4 offers a means to precisely  
adjust the switching frequency through a simple resistor to  
ground. Frequency operation is allowed up to 250 kHz. By  
modulating the internal switching frequency with the Pin 6  
saw−tooth (100 Hz with 390 nF), natural energy spread  
appears and softens the controller’s EMI signature.  
5.0 V reference voltage: a 5.0 V regulator is provided to  
help biasing any external circuitry in the vicinity of the  
controller. This reference voltage can typically supply up to  
10 mA.  
Standby Detect/Shutdown of the PFC front−stage: The  
NCP1239 incorporates an internal logic that is able to detect  
a standby situation. Pin1 state changes in accordance to the

NCP1239  
Startup Sequence  
As soon as V  
reaches 16.4 V, driving pulses are  
CC  
When the power supply is first connected to the mains  
outlet, the internal current source (typically 3.6 mA) is  
delivered on Pin 12 and the auxiliary winding grows up the  
pin. Because the output voltage is below the target (the  
V
CC  
biased and charges up the V capacitor. When the voltage  
SMPS is starting up), the feedback pin is at its maximum  
voltage. A resistor divider outputs the third of the feedback  
voltage that forms the current setpoint. This setpoint is  
clamped and the limitation level slowly increases until it  
reaches 0.9V during the soft start time. In nominal operation,  
the setpoint clamp keeps equal to 0.9 V (refer to Figure 36).  
As soon as the feedback voltage is high enough to activate  
the 0.9 V setpoint clamp (during the startup period but also  
anytime an overload occurs), an internal error flag is  
asserted, testifying that the system is pushed to the  
maximum power. At that moment, a 100 ms time period  
CC  
on this V capacitor reaches the V  
level (typically  
CC  
CCON  
16.4 V), the current source turns off and no longer wastes  
any power. At this time, the energy stored by the V  
CC  
capacitor serves to supply the controller and the auxiliary  
supply is supposed to take over before V collapses below  
CC  
V . Figure 35 shows the internal arrangement of this

soft −start) starts while a logic block observes this error flag.  
If the error flag keeps asserted all along the 100ms period,  
then the controller assumes that the power supply really  
undergoes a fault condition and immediately stops all pulses  
to enter a safe burst operation. The 100 ms timer enables to  
distinguish a startup phase (shorter than 100 ms) from an  
overload condition. If the error flag is released before the  
100 ms period has elapsed, the controller concludes that no  
error is present and resets the timer to use it for other  
purposes (e.g. frequency dithering).

current setpoint is limited by the soft−start during the power−on sequence and permanently clamped to 0.9 V In the

amplitude to (0.9 V/Rsense). During this time, the NCP1239  
asserts an error flag. A maximum current condition being  
observed, the circuit determines if this state results from  
either a normal response (startup or a transient period) or a  
fault condition. To make the difference, each time the error  
flag is asserted, a 100 ms timer starts to count down. If the  
error flag keeps asserted for the 100 ms period, there is a  
fault and the PWM controller enters a safe, auto−recovery,  
burst mode to limit the dissipated heat (see below for more  
details). During the Power−on sequence, “pfcON” keeps  
To ensure an adequate startup sequence of both PWM  
section and the PFC stage, some logic and timing need to be  
included as shown on the internal diagram. The key point  
here is the fact that the PFC always starts after the PWM  
section. As a result, the SMPS must be designed to cope with  
transient universal mains operation. Why this? Because of  
the light−to−heavy load transition where a case exists when  
the PFC is off, the PWM in standby and the load is suddenly  
applied. In this scenario, the PWM section must sustain the  
entire transient period that lasts until the PFC re−starts since  
it has been deactivated for standby.

The standby detection block generates an internal signal

mode:  
the error flag is down, the power supply has entered  
regulation, its auxiliary voltage is stable, then Pin 1 can turn  
low (1 mA sink current) to safely allow PFC operation.  
Entering Standby: when skip−cycle starts to activate, a  
100 ms countdown takes place and the logic observes the  
skip activity. If the skip activity is still there at the end of the  
100 ms, then standby is confirmed and the NCP1239 pulls

This configuration makes it ideal to drive a pnp transistor  
Leaving standby: in this case, as soon as the skip−cycle  
activity disappears, the circuit immediately re−activates the  
1 mA sinking current source of Pin 1, to enable the PFC:  
there is no reaction delay in this situation.

primary side by measuring the time the error flag is asserted.

detection (e.g. the output load is 25% above the nominal  
value but Vout is still present).  
The NCP1239 differs from other controllers in the sense  
that a fault condition is detected independently of the  
auxiliary voltage level. In auxiliary supply−based power  
supplies, it is necessary that the (isolated) secondary output  
conditions properly reflects on the (non−isolated) auxiliary  
winding in order to instruct the controller on what is  
happening on the other side of the transformer. For the  
following reasons, it sometimes becomes extremely  
difficult to build an efficient short−circuit protection  
circuitry and even more difficult to implement over power  
The primary leakage inductance is high: this is probably  
the main reason why building efficient short−circuit  
detection is difficult. When the power switch opens, the  
leakage inductance superimposes a large overvoltage spike  
on the drain voltage. This spike is seen on the secondary side  
but also on the auxiliary winding. Unfortunately, since the  
V
CC  
capacitor and the auxiliary diode form a peak rectifier,  
the auxiliary V often depends on this peak value rather  
CC  
than the true plateau which corresponds to the output level.

The delta is around 10 V, which obviously degrades the  
auxiliary image of the secondary side. When a short−circuit  
occurs, the leakage can be so strong that the whole plateau  
has dropped to a few volts, but the leakage contribution  
becomes so energetic (Ip = Ip max.) that even a few s

100 mW at high line. Due to skip−cycle, the continuous flow  
of pulses turns into bunches of pulses (sometimes 1−2 pulses  
only) that can be spaced by 50ms or more in certain cases.  
The energy content in each bunch of pulses does not suffer  
any attenuation. For instance, to lower Figure 40’s peak, you  
could think of inserting a resistor with the auxiliary diode to

bursts, the PFC section is not validated.  
The short−circuit protection features a so−called  
auto−recovery circuitry. That is to say, during the 100 ms  
period, the power supply attempts to startup. If the fault has  
gone, then the controller resumes from the fault and the  
power supply operates again. If the fault is still present, the  
pulses are stopped at the end of the 100 ms section (Tpulse)  
for a given time period Tfault. At the end of Tfault, a new  
100 ms attempt is made and so on. To avoid any thermal  
runaway, a burst duty−cycle defined by Tpulse/(Tfault+  
Tpulse) below 10% is desirable ((Tfault+Tpulse) is the burst  
period). If the 100 ms is made by an internal timer in  
conjunction with the Pin 6 capacitor, the Tfault duration

that effect, a solution could be to increase the turn ratio, but  
then the peak rectification problem comes back again.  
As one can see, a short−circuit protection free of the V

level would be the best solution. This is exactly what the  
NCP1239 delivers with the internal 100 ms timer (390 nF  
being connected to Pin 6). As soon as the internal 0.9 V error  
flag is asserted high, a 100 ms timer gets started. If the error  
flag keeps asserted during the 100 ms period, then the  
controller detects a true fault condition and stops pulsing the  
output. If this is a simple transient overload, e.g. the error  
flag goes back to a normal level before the 100 ms period has

If by design we have selected a 47 F V capacitor, it  
becomes easy to evaluate the burst period and its duty−cycle.  
This can be done by properly identifying all time events on  
Figure 42 and applying the classical formula: t = C * DV / i.  
In fact, Tpulse is generally:  
− shorter than the switching phase period. In this  
case, t1 is longer since the latched off phase starts  
earlier (at a V higher than V ). As a

reason this level exceeds 2.4 V (typical), the part

This pin can also monitor the temperature using an  
external thermistor (refer to application schematic).  
Thermistors can be of Negative Temperature Coefficient  
(NTC) type (the resistance decreases versus the  
temperature) or of Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC)  
type (the resistance increases versus the temperature). Let’s  
assume that a NTC thermistor is used (as in the application  
schematic). Placing it between the 5 V reference voltage  
(REF5V) and Pin 3, and a classical resistance between Pin 3  
and ground, the Pin 3 voltage equals:  
This example illustrates that one must just select the  
bottom resistor so that it exhibits the same resistance as the  
thermistor at the temperature to be detected.  
If the thermistor is a PTC, it must be placed between Pin 3  
and ground. One must place a resistor between the 5 V  
reference voltage and Pin 3. Similarly, the resistor must be  
selected so that its resistance equals the thermistor one at the  
temperature to be detected.  
Brown−Out and Over Power Limitation  
R
SMPS are designed for a given input range. When the  
input voltage is too low (brown−out), the SMPS tends to  
compensate by sinking an increased current from the line.  
As a result the power components may suffer from an  
excessive heating and ultimately the SMPS may be  
destroyed. To avoid such a risk, the NCP1239 incorporates  
a brown−out detection that monitors the portion of the input  
voltage that is applied to Pin 5.

Also called “Bulk OK” signal (BOK), the Brown−Out  
(BO) protection prevents the power supply from being  
adversely destroyed in case the mains drops to a very low  
value. When it detects such a situation, the NCP1239 no  
longer pulses but waits until the bulk voltage goes back to its  
normal level. A certain amount of hysteresis needs to be  
provided since the bulk capacitor is affected by some ripple,  
especially at low input levels. For that reason, when the BO  
comparator toggles, the internal reference voltage changes  
from 500 mV to 240 mV. This effect is not latched: that is to  
say, when the bulk capacitor is below the target, the  
controller does not deliver pulses. As soon as the input  
voltage grows−up and reaches the level imposed by the  
resistive divider, pulses are passed to the internal driver and  
activate the MOSFET.

Example where the voltage of the bulk capacitor is used for the brown−out Protection  
Figure 45.  
The calculation procedure for Rupper and Rlower is easy.  
The first level transition is always clean: the SMPS is not  
working during the startup sequence and there exists no  
ripple superimposed on Cbulk. Supposed we want to start  
the operation at Vbulk = Vtrip = 120 VDC (i.e., VinAC =  
85 V).  
amount of power, actually the power of your converter  
(35 W in our example). The equation associated to Bload  
instructs the simulator not to draw current until the  
Brown−Out converter gives the order, just like what the real  
converter will do. As a result, Vbulk is free of ripple until the  
node CMP goes high, giving the green light to switch pulses.  
The input line is modulated by the “timing” node which  
ramps up and down to simulate a slow startup/turn−off  
sequence. Then, by adjusting the Cfil value, it becomes  
possible to select the right turn−off AC voltage. Figure 47  
portrays the typical signal you can expect from the  
simulator. We measured a turn−on voltage of 85 VAC  
whereas the turn−off voltage is 72 VAC. Further increasing  
Cfil lowers this level (for instance, a 1 F capacitor gives  
VBO = 65 VAC in the example).  
As we have seen, the load variations will modify this  
turn−off level. To remove the dependency between VBO  
and the load, it is possible to directly sense the rectified input  
line present at the PFC stage input, as shown in Figure 48.  
In that case, there still exists the input line ripple, but this  
ripple is independent of the load. By adjusting Cfil  
capacitance and the divider section, you can build a  
brown−out detection independent of the load.  
1. Fix a bridge current Ib compatible with your  
standby requirements, for instance an Ib of 50 A.  
2. Then evaluate Rlower by: Rlower = 0.5/Ib =  
10 kꢂ  
3. Calculate Rupper by: (Vtrip – 0.5 V)/Ib =  
(120 – 0.5)/50 A = 2.39 Mꢂ  
The second threshold, the level at which the power supply  
stops (VBO), depends on the capacitor Cfil but also on the  
selected bulk capacitor. Furthermore, when the load varies,  
the ripple also does and increases as Vin drops. If Cfil allows  
a too high ripple, chances exist to prematurely stop the  
converter. By increasing Cfil, you have the ability to select  
the amount of hysteresis you want to apply. The less ripple  
appears on a Pin 5, the larger the gap between Vtrip and VBO  
(the maximum being VBO = Vtrip/2). The best way to assess  
the right value of Cfil, is to use a simple simulation sketch  
as the one depicted by Figure 46. A behavioral source loads

the NCP1239 more surely protects the PFC stage in  
brown−out conditions.  
In addition, it is not recommended to provide the output  
with more power than normally necessary. To the light of  
these statements, it becomes interesting to accurately limit  
the amount of power drawn from the AC line in fault  
conditions. The easiest way to do so consists of clamping the  
peak current since in a discontinuous mode flyback  
converter, the input power (Pin) can be calculated as  
2
follows: Pin = 1/2 * Lp * Ip * fsw, where Lp is the primary  
pk  
inductor, Ip is the inductor peak current and fsw is the  
switching frequency.  
pk  
Using:  
− Rlower = 10 k,  
− Rupper = 2. 39 M,  
− Cfil = 1 F,  
Practically, a sense resistor converts the primary current  
into a voltage that is compared to a voltage reference. When  
the voltage representative of the current exceeds the voltage  
reference, the controller turns off the power switch. The  
theoretical maximum peak current is then: Imax =  
Vocp/Rsense, where Vocp is the reference voltage (or  
overcurrent protection threshold) and Rsense is the sense  
resistor.  
Unfortunately, the controller cannot turn off the power  
switch immediately when it detects that the current exceeds  
its maximum permissible level. Internal propagation delays  
differ the drive turn low. In addition, the power switch needs  
some time to turn off. Finally, the real current stop can be  
250ns or more delayed. During this time, the current  
continues ramping up so that an overcurrent is obtained.  
One obtains the following voltage thresholds:  
− Vtrip = 85 Vrms,  
− VBO = 65 Vrms.  
Over Power Limit (NCP1239F)  
Overload conditions may push the converter to draw an  
excessive power (which generally increases versus the input  
voltage). One must avoid such a behavior:  
a) not to have to dimension the converter for a power  
higher than the nominal one,  
b) to meet SMPS specifications that often request the  
power not to exceed a given level.

An (averaged) portion of the input voltage is applied to the brown−out pin. A current source proportional to this voltage, flows through an  
external resistor Rcomp to form an offset proportional to the (average) input voltage. Rcomp should be selected so that the offset compen-  
sates the overcurrent sensed by the current sensing resistor Rsense.

active phase of fault burst operation. Every restart attempt  
is followed by a soft−start activation.  
CC  
reaches 16.4 V, the current setpoint is gradually increased  
from nearly zero up to the maximum clamping level (e.g.  
0.9 V/Rsense). This situation lasts a programmable time that  
is adjusted by the Pin 6 capacitor (7.5 ms typically with

Internal Ramp Compensation  
Ramp compensation is a known mean to cure  
sub−harmonic oscillations. These oscillations take place at  
half the switching frequency and occur only during  
Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM) with a duty−cycle  
greater than 50%. To lower the current loop gain, one usually  
injects between 50 and 100% of the inductor down−slope.

NCP1239  
In the NCP1239, the ramp features a swing of 3.2 V.  
The ramp is disabled during standby (i.e., when pfcON is  
low). This inhibition avoids that the ramp compensation  
modifies the setpoint above which the NCP1239 enables  
PFC.  
Suppose we select a 65 kHz version. Over a 65 kHz  
frequency, it corresponds to a 130 mV/ms ramp. In our  
FLYBACK design, let’s assume that our primary inductance  
Lp is 350 mH, and the SMPS delivers 12 V with a Np:Ns  
ratio of 1:0.1. The OFF time slope of the primary current is:  
Frequency Jittering  
Frequency jittering is a method used to soften the EMI  
signature by spreading the energy in the vicinity of the main  
switching component. NCP1239 offers a +3.5% deviation of  
the nominal switching frequency. The sweep saw−tooth is  
internally generated and modulates the clock up and down  
with a period depending on the Pin 6 capacitor (10 ms  
typically with 390 nF, 10 mS * Cpin6 / 390 nF in general).  
Again, if one selects a 65 kHz version, the frequency will  
equal 65 kHz in the middle of the ripple and will increase as

NCP1239  
Skipping Cycle Mode  
Suppose we have the following component values:  
Lp, primary inductance = 350 H  
fsw , switching frequency = 65 kHz  
The NCP1239 automatically skips switching cycles when  
the output power demand drops below a given level. This is  
accomplished by monitoring the FB pin. In normal  
operation, Pin 8 imposes a current setpoint accordingly to  
the load value. If the load demand decreases, the internal  
loop asks for less peak current. When this setpoint reaches  
a fixed determined level, the IC prevents the current from  
decreasing further down and starts to blank the output  
pulses: the IC enters the so−called skip−cycle mode, also  
named controlled burst operation. The default skip−cycle  
current is internally frozen to 30% of the maximum peak  
current which is 0.5 V/Rsense The power transfer now  
depends upon the width of the pulse bunches (Figure 54).  
Ip skip = 600 mA (or 140 mV/Rsense)  
The theoretical power transfer is therefore:  
2
1/2 * Lp * Ip * fsw = 4 W  
If this IC enters skip−cycle mode with a bunch length of  
10 ms over a recurrent period of 100 ms, then the total power  
transfer is:  
4 W * 10 ms/100 ms = 400 mW  
To better understand how this skip−cycle mode takes  
place, a look at the operation mode versus the FB level  
immediately gives the necessary insight:

Skip−cycle operation  
Ip MIN = 150 mV/Rsense  
Figure 54.  
When FB is below the skip−cycle threshold (0.43 V by  
default), the circuit skips the switching cycle. When the IC  
enters the skip−cycle mode, the peak current cannot go  
below (0.43 V/3)/Rsense or 140 mV/Rsense. Figure 55  
shows different values of pulse widths when the SMPS starts  
to skip−cycles at different power levels:

Pin 7). A timer counts down and if COMP2 keeps high for  
100 ms (typically with 390 nF on Pin 6), the NCP1239  
considers that the system runs in the standby mode. Pin 1  
The circuit detects a light load condition by permanently  
monitoring the skip−cycle comparator activity: in normal  
load condition this comparator keeps quiet. As soon as the  
load strongly decreases, this comparator starts to toggle at a  
low frequency rate: we are entering skip−cycle and the  
opto−coupler operates in a digital manner, ON/OFF.  
Figure 56 shows the way skip−cycle is detected. In skip

sets the standby detection latch. A second comparator

One can note that there is a 1/3 ratio between the actual  
current setpoint and the feedback value FB. Therefore the

recovery (0.43 V, 0.74 V) actually corresponds to the

Figure 59.  
Suppose our Flyback controller is built with a transformer  
primary inductance of 250 H. To pass 120 W, we assume  
that a peak current of 4.2 A was needed. Due to these  
numbers, we can easily now when the GTS signal will be  
asserted:  
The theoretical region at which the SMPS will enter  
standby is: 1/2 * Lp * Ip * fsw * 11 W. This number  
can vary depending on the line level since the propagation  
delay becomes a sensitive parameter, and on the efficiency  
that is difficult to precisely predict in light load conditions.  
The peak current at which the SMPS will leave standby is  
48% of the peak current which means that a power of 28 W  
is necessary to re−trigger the PFC.

NCP1239  
When the load current falls to a low level (CH4), the FB pin voltage diminishes to take into account the decay of the power  
demand. As a consequence, the FB pin voltage goes below the “Vskip” threshold and the soft start timer counts about 100 ms  
(if C  
= 330 nF). When the 100 ms time has elapsed, the PFC V stops being fed.
