Overview The MCZ5211ST is a frequency modulation type current resonance power supply control IC. It features a self-startup pin (drain kick function) with a high withstand voltage of 600 V for loss-free startup. It also includes a high-withstand-voltage gate driver enabling direct drive of high-side MOSFETs.

Basic Operations Unless otherwise specified, MCZ5211ST threshold values are indicated by typical values in the characteristic specifications. For more information on the characteristic diagrams provided in this Application Note, refer to the characteristic diagrams in the characteristic specifications. Operating modes The MCZ5211ST has two control methods and three operating modes.
Power supply section The MCZ5211ST incorporates a startup circuit that does not require a startup resistance for ease of use with fewer components. Figure 3 shows a schematic of the self-startup PFC unit etc. R120 circuit. Vin pin The Vin pin charges capacitor C134 connected to the Vc2 pin from the high-voltage section when the power supply starts up;...

Malfunctions may result due to noise input to the Vc1 and Vc2 pins if the C134 or C161 capacitors are beyond a certain distance from the MCZ5211ST Vc1 and Vc2 pins. In such cases, add an MLCC with capacitance of approximately 0.1 uF to 1.0 uF close to the Vc1 and Vc2 pins to prevent malfunctions.

If a MOSFET with a large Qg is used, connect a sink diode as shown in Figures 5 (B) and (C). When using a sink diode, use a low capacitance Schottky diode. Do not use a snappy (hard) recovery diode. We recommend using a Shindengen D1NS4 (axial) or M1FM3 (surface mounted) diode.

2.3.2 Oscillation control section (FB pin) The MCZ5211ST oscillation frequency is determined by the charge and discharge of the capacitor Ct connected to the FB pin. VGL and VGH output alternately while Ct discharges. While Ct is charging, a dead time (DT) will result in which both the VGL and VGH outputs are off (see Figure 6).
Page 12
The MCZ5211ST is a frequency and ON duty modulated IC. The oscillation frequency is controlled by the FB pin current (see Figure 8). Dead time is widely controlled when the frequency is at the maximum, such as for light loads, making it easy to ensure ZVS (zero voltage switching) over the entire frequency range.

The MCZ5211ST performs the following control operations when OCP1 detection is triggered: (a) The FB pin is switched to the charging period, and the gate output (VGH or VGL) is turned off. (b) The SST pin is charged at 40 uA for eight FB charge/discharge cycles.

2.3.5 OCP2 input voltage correction (CS/SSD pins) The MCZ5211ST features a built-in circuit to correct the overcurrent protection operating point when the input voltage fluctuates. Input voltage corrections are performed by varying the OCP2 detection threshold value. The OCP2 detection threshold value varies based on the SSD pin voltage and FB pin voltage.

MOSFET turns on due to the trr component of the body diode, and a load is applied to the MOSFET. The MCZ5211ST includes a Tss(3) function to prevent the gate from turning off while the body diode is conducting at startup. As shown in Figure 21, the Tss(3) sequence extends the low-side VGL output by approximately 1.7-fold for the second time after the power supply starts.

(3) Timer intermittent latch stop function during overcurrent protection function operation The MCZ5211ST includes a function to stop latching after the intermittent timer activates during OCP1, OCP2 and di/dt operation. For more information on the timing and conditions for timer charging, refer to Table 9.
Page 22
(4) Latch stop function The MCZ5211ST incorporates a latch stop function to stop latching under abnormal conditions such as overvoltage on the secondary side. Figure 23 shows an example of the secondary side OVP circuit configuration. The latch stop function is enabled by lifting the SST pin to 4.5 V from outside. Oscillation stops when the latch stop function is enabled.

2.3.10 Vc1 overvoltage protection function (Vc1 OVP function) The MCZ5211ST includes a latch stop function when the Vc1 pin overvoltage is applied. If the Vc1 pin voltage exceeds the Vc1(ovp latch) voltage of 33.0 V, latching stops. To cancel the latch stop, the Vc2 pin voltage must be set to the Vc2(latch reset) voltage of 7.0 V or less.

IC peripheral pattern layout precautions The pattern layout of the switching power supply board will affect the power supply characteristics. The MCZ5211ST switches high voltages and large currents, so great care is required when laying out the circuit pattern. To minimize issues such as noise due to pattern inductance components, it is important to design the main circuit to ensure patterns are as thick and short as possible.
