DESCRIPTION
The LX1570/71 series of controller ICs are
designed to provide all control functions in
a secondary-side regulator for isolated auxil-
iary or secondary power supplies. Auxiliary
or secondary-side controllers are used in a
variety of applications including multiple
output off-line power supplies, commonly
found in desktop computers, as well as tele-
communications applications. Although they
can be used in all secondary output applica-
tions requiring precision regulation, they are
mainly optimized for outputs delivering more
than 3A current where standard three-termi-
nal regulators lack the desired efficiency. For
these applications, the Mag Amp regulators
have traditionally been used. However, Mag
Amps have several disadvantages. First, be-
cause they have to withstand the maximum
input voltage during a short-circuit condition,
they are "over designed", typically by 2 times,
increasing the cost and size of the power
supply. Second, Mag Amps are inherently
leading edge modulators, so they can only
approach a certain maximum duty cycle, lim-
ited by the minimum delay and the mag-
netic BH loop characteristic of the Mag Amp
core. This forces an increase in the size of
the main transformer as well as the output
inductor, resulting in higher overall system
cost.
The LX1570/71 eliminates all the
disadvantages of the Mag Amp approach
as well as improving system perfor-
mance and reducing overall system cost.
The LX1570/71 is a current mode control-
ler IC that controls the duty cycle of a switch
in series with the secondary AC output of
the power transformer in buck-derived ap-
plications, such as forward or bridge topolo-
gies. It offers features such as 100% duty
cycle operation for maximum energy trans-
fer, pulse-by-pulse and hiccup current limit-
ing with long off-time between the cycles
for reduced power dissipation, high-fre-
quency operation for smaller magnetics, soft-
start, and current mode control for excel-
lent dynamic response.

FUNCTIONAL PIN DESCRIPTION
Pin

Description
This pin acts as the soft-start pin. A capacitor connected from this pin to GND allows slow ramp up of the NI input
resulting in output soft start during start up. This pin is clamped to the internal voltage reference during the normal
operation and sets the reference for the feedback regulator.
This pin is the inverting input of the Error Amplifier. It is normally connected to the switching power supply output
through a resistor divider to program the power supply voltage. This pin instead of the NI pin is internally trimed to
1% tolerance to include the offset voltage error of the error amp.
This pin is the Error Amplifier output and is made available for loop compensation. Typically a series R&C network
is connected from this pin to GND.
A voltage proportional to the inductor current is sensed by an external sense resistor (1570) or current transformer (1571)
in series with the return line and is connected to this pin. The output drive is terminated and latched off when this voltage
amplified by the internal gain (see option table) exceeds the voltage set by the E.A output voltage. The maximum
allowable voltage at this pin during normal operation is -0.8V typ for LX1570 and 6V typ for LX1571.
This pin is combined control circuitry and power GND. All other pins must be positive with respect to this pin, except
for C.S pin.
This pin drives a gate drive transformer which drives the power mosfet. A Schottky diode such as 1N5817 must be
connected from this pin to GND in order to prevent the substrate diode conduction.
This pin is the positive supply voltage for the control IC. A high frequency capacitor must be closely placed and
connected from this pin to GND to provide the turn-on and turn-off peak currents required for fast switching of the power
Mosfet.
The free running oscillator frequency is programmed by connecting a capacitor from this pin to GND.
