In Standby, the power supply works in 'burst mode'.
Burst mode can be used to reduce the power consumption
below 1 W at stand-by. During this mode, the controller is active
(generating gate pulses) for only a short time and for a longer
time inactive waiting for the next burst cycle.
In the active period the energy is transferred to the secondary
and stored in the buffer capacitor C
stabiliser (see Figure below). During the inactive period, the
load (e.g. microprocessor) discharges this capacitor. In this
mode, the controller makes use of the Safe-Restart mode.

Basic Burst mode configuration
Figure 9-14
The system enters burst mode standby when the
microprocessor activates the 'Stdby_con' line. When this line is
pulled high, the base of TS7541 is allowed to go high. This is
triggered by the current from collector TS7542. When TS7541
turns 'on', the opto-coupler (7515) is activated, sending a large
current signal to pin 3 (Ctrl). In response to this signal, the IC
stops switching and enters a 'hiccup' mode. This burst
activation signal should be present for longer than the 'burst
blank' period (typically 30 µs): the blanking time prevents false
burst triggering due to spikes.
Burst mode standby operation continues until the
microcontroller pulls the 'Stdby_con' signal low again. The
base of TS7541 is unable to go high, thus cannot turn 'on'. This
will disable the burst mode. The system then enters the start-
up sequence and begins normal switching behaviour.
For a more detailed description of one burst cycle, three time
intervals are defined:
• t1: Discharge of V

first interval, energy is transferred, which result in a ramp-
up of the output voltage (V
When enough energy is stored in the capacitor, the IC will
be switched 'off' by a current pulse generated at the
secondary side. This pulse is transferred to the primary
side via the opto coupler. The controller will disable the
output driver (safe restart mode) when the current pulse
reaches a threshold level of 16 mA into the Ctrl pin. A
resistor R (R3519) is placed in series with the opto
1
coupler, to limit the current going into the Ctrl pin.

9.6.3 Protection Events
The SMPS IC7520 has the following protection features:
Demagnetisation sense
This feature guarantees discontinuous conduction mode
operation in every situation. The oscillator will not start a new
primary stroke until the secondary stroke has ended. This is to
100401
ensure that FET 7521 will not turn on until the demagnetisation
of transformer 5520 is completed. The function is an additional
protection feature against:
• saturation of the transformer,
• damage of the components during initial start-up,
• an overload of the output.
The demag(netisation) sense is realised by an internal circuit
that guards the voltage (Vdemag) at pin 4 that is connected to
V winding by resistor R

the circuit and the idealised waveforms across this winding.

configuration
Over Voltage Protection
The Over Voltage Protection ensures that the output voltage
will remain below an adjustable level. This works by sensing
the auxiliary voltage via the current flowing into pin 4 (DEM)
during the secondary stroke. This voltage is a well-defined
replica of the output voltage. Any voltage spikes are averaged
by an internal filter.
If the output voltage exceeds the OVP trip level, the OVP circuit
switches the power MOSFET 'off'.
Next, the controller waits until the 'under voltage lock out' level
(UVLO = ± 9 V) is reached on pin 1 (V
safe restart cycle, after which switching starts again. This
process is repeated as long as the OVP condition exists. The
output voltage, at which the OVP function trips, is set by the
demagnetisation resistor R3522.
Over Current Protection
The internal OCP protection circuit limits the 'sense' voltage on
pin 5 to an internal level.
