If the output load is still low, the feedback signal decreases as the PWM section is operating. When feedback
signal reaches the low threshold V
until next time regultaion signal increases beyond the V
feedback signal is changing like a saw tooth between 3.0V and 3.6V shown in Figure 7.

Leaving Active Burst Mode
The feedback voltage immediately increases if there is a high load jump. This is observed by one comparator.
As the current limit is 34% during active burst mode a certain load is needed so that feedback voltage can
exceed VLB (4.5V). After leaving active burst mode, maximum current can now be provided to stabilize V
addition, the up/down counter will be set to 1 immediately after leaving active burst mode. This is helpful to
decrease the output voltage undershoot.

Current sense
The PWM comparator inside the CoolSET has two inputs: one from current sense pin and the other from
feedback voltage. Before being sent to the PWM comparator, there is an offset and operational gain on
current sense voltage. In normal operation, the relationship between feedback voltage and maximum current
sense voltage is determined by equation (8).

The design procedure of quasi-resonant flyback transformer is shown in [2]. In addition, a leading edge
blanking (LEB) is already built inside the current sense pin. The typical value of leading edge blanking time is
330ns, which can be thought as a minimum on time.

Feedback
Inside the CoolSET, the feedback (FB) pin is connected to the 5V voltage source through a pull-up resistor
R
. Outside the CoolSET, this pin is connected to the collector of opto-coupler. Normally, a ceramic
FB
capacitor C
, 1nF for example, can be put between this pin and ground for smooting the signal.
FB
Feedback voltage will be used for a few functions as following:
It determines the maximum current sense voltage, equivalent to the transformer peak current.
It determines the ZC counter value according to load condition
