Feedback pin principle of operation

The current limitation is obtained with the FB pin shorted to ground (V
to a negative current sourced by this pin, and expressed by:
By reporting this expression in the previous one, it is possible to obtain the drain current
limitation I
In a real application, the FB pin is driven with an optocoupler as shown on
acts as a pull up. So, it is not possible to really short this pin to ground and the above drain
current value is not achievable. Nevertheless, the capacitor C is averaging the voltage on
the FB pin, and when the optocoupler is off (start up or short circuit), it can be assumed that
the corresponding voltage is very close to 0 V.
For low drain currents, the formula (1) is valid as long as IFB satisfies I

stop switching. This is represented on
the PWM COMPARATOR SECTION. Actually, as soon as the drain current is about 12 % of
Idlim, that is to say 50 mA, the device will enter a burst mode operation by missing switching
cycles. This is especially important when the converter is lightly loaded.

associated minimum turn on time. This imposes a minimum drain current under which the
device is no more able to control it in a linear way. This drain current depends on the primary
inductance value of the transformer and the input voltage. Two cases may occur, depending
on the value of this current versus the fixed 50 mA value, as described above.
