The circuit examples shown in Figures 41, 42 and 43 show a
simple method for implementing the primary sensed over-
voltage protection.
The primary sensed OVP protection circuit shown in Figures 41,
42 and 43 is triggered by a significant rise in output voltage (and
therefore bias winding voltage). If the power supply is operating
under heavy load or low input line conditions when an open
loop occurs, the output voltage may not rise significantly.
Under these conditions, a latching shutdown will not occur until
load or line conditions change. Nevertheless, the operation
provides the desired protection by preventing significant rise in
the output voltage when the line or load conditions do change.
Primary side OVP protection with the TOPSwitch-HX in a typical
application will prevent a nominal 12 V output from rising above
approximately 20 V under open loop conditions. If greater
accuracy is required, a secondary sensed OVP circuit is
recommended.
During a fault condition resulting from loss of feedback, output
voltage will rapidly rise above the nominal voltage. The increase
in output voltage will also result in an increase in the voltage at
the output of the bias winding. A voltage at the output of the
bias winding that exceeds of the sum of the voltage rating of the
Zener diode connected from the bias winding output to the
V-pin (or M-pin) and V-pin (or M-pin) voltage, will cause a
current in excess of IV or IM to be injected into the V-pin
(or M-pin), which will trigger the OVP feature.
