Product details
Overview
AP3776BMTR-G1 from Diodes Incorporated is a primary-side regulation (PSR) AC/DC controller IC for offline flyback converters in battery chargers and adapters. It delivers constant voltage (CV) and constant current (CC) regulation without optocoupler or secondary-side feedback, achieves ≤10 mW no-load input power, <1 s startup time, and operates in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) with PFM control. Used in 5 V/1–2.4 A shaver and portable device chargers.
For engineers reviewing the AP3776BMTR-G1 datasheet, AP3776BMTR-G1 pinout, AP3776BMTR-G1 application, or AP3776BMTR-G1 equivalent, this page details its PSR architecture, cable compensation, semi-valley turn-on, random frequency modulation for EMI reduction, and compatibility with AP4341/APR343/APR3415 for under-shoot suppression and efficiency optimization.
Technical Context
The AP3776BMTR-G1 implements primary-side regulation via auxiliary winding voltage sampling at the FB pin, using a multi-segment peak current threshold (VCS_H/VCS_M/VCS_L) to maintain switching frequency >24 kHz across load range and eliminate audible noise. Its CV loop regulates output by adjusting D1 off-time based on sampled VAUX at 2/3 of secondary conduction period.
In CC mode, it fixes the Tons/Toffs ratio at 1:4 while maintaining constant primary peak current, enabling precise current regulation independent of output cable drop. Line compensation-via FB-derived current injected into CS through RLINE-corrects primary current error caused by input voltage variation, ensuring ±3% line regulation of output current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Topology | Flyback converter in DCM with PFM control - enables high efficiency at light loads and eliminates need for loop compensation. |
| No-load Input Power | ≤10 mW - meets "Super Star" energy efficiency standard for standby operation in EU and global regulations. |
| Startup Threshold | 11–14 V - ensures reliable turn-on after bulk capacitor charges; minimal operating voltage is 5.3–7.0 V post-startup. |
| FB Voltage Threshold | 3.64–3.76 V - sets nominal output voltage reference; OVP triggers at 6.5–8.5 V for safety shutdown. |
| VCS Threshold | 425–465 mV - defines primary peak current limit; used for both CV and CC regulation with temperature-compensated accuracy. |
| Cable Compensation | 2–4% ΔVFB/VFB - injects rising voltage proportional to CPC pin voltage to offset fixed output cable voltage drop. |
| Max Switching Frequency | ≈84 kHz - upper bound for normal operation; multi-segment VCS maintains >24 kHz down to ultra-light load to avoid audio-band noise. |
| Protection Features | OVP (FB >7.5 V), SCP (FB <2.5 V), OTP (130 °C trip), hiccup-mode restart - ensures robust field reliability without external supervision. |
Pinout & Package
AP3776BMTR-G1 is housed in an SO-8 package (surface-mount, 150 °C max junction temperature, θJA = 190 °C/W), with exposed pad not electrically connected. Pin functions are validated per Diodes DS36737 Rev. 7–3.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 IS | Primary current sense input | Connects to current-sense resistor (RCS) to monitor primary-side current slope and detect peak for PWM termination. |
| 2 EM | External MOSFET source connection | Direct tie to source of external power MOSFET; enables internal sensing path for leading-edge blanking and gate drive timing. |
| 3 VCC | IC power supply | Supplied by auxiliary winding; UVLO starts at 11–14 V, sustains operation down to 5.3–7.0 V. |
| 4 OUT | Gate driver output | Drives external MOSFET base/gate with 500 mA sink / 67 mA source capability; includes 14–16 V clamp. |
| 5 GND | Analog/digital ground reference | Common return for all internal circuits; must be low-impedance and separated from power ground in layout. |
| 6 VCS | Current sense voltage input | Receives filtered voltage from IS pin; compared against multi-segment VCS reference for peak current control. |
| 7 CPC | Cable compensation capacitor terminal | Connects external capacitor to generate voltage proportional to load, enabling fixed % output voltage boost. |
| 8 FB | Voltage feedback input | Samples auxiliary winding voltage during secondary conduction; sets CV setpoint and triggers OVP/SCP protection. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Optocoupler-free PSR | Eliminates secondary-side feedback components, reducing BOM cost and PCB area while improving long-term reliability. |
| Semi-valley turn-on | Reduces switching loss by triggering MOSFET when drain voltage reaches local valley, increasing average efficiency by ~1.5%. |
| Random frequency modulation | Spreads EMI spectrum across 24–84 kHz band, lowering peak radiated emissions by up to 10 dB compared to fixed-frequency PFM. |
| Built-in soft start | Prevents inrush current and output overshoot during power-up by gradually increasing switching frequency and duty cycle. |
| Audio noise suppression | Multi-segment VCS control prevents switching frequency from falling into 20 Hz–20 kHz audible range under all load conditions. |
| Line compensation | Compensates primary current error due to input voltage variation, achieving ±3% output current regulation across 90–264 VAC input. |

FAQ
What is the purpose of the CPC pin on AP3776BMTR-G1?
The CPC (Cable Compensation) pin accepts an external capacitor to generate a voltage proportional to load current. This voltage is added to the internal FB reference, producing a fixed percentage increase in regulated output voltage-typically 2–4%-to offset resistive drop across output cables, ensuring accurate voltage delivery at the device connector.
How does AP3776BMTR-G1 achieve <10 mW no-load power?
It combines multiple techniques: ultra-low quiescent current (100 µA in LL mode), automatic transition to Low Light (LL) mode at no load, gated auxiliary winding supply, and optimized internal bias circuitry. In LL mode, ICC(STB) drops to 100 µA, and switching frequency is reduced while maintaining VCC above operational threshold via APR343-triggered pulse bursts.
Can AP3776BMTR-G1 operate without AP4341 or APR343?
Yes-it functions as a standalone PSR controller for CV/CC regulation in standard flyback topologies. However, AP4341/APR343/APR3415 are optional companion ICs that enhance performance: APR343 enables ultra-low standby power via LL mode awakening, while AP4341 improves under-shoot response and dynamic load regulation.
What protection mechanisms are built into AP3776BMTR-G1?
It integrates overvoltage protection (OVP) on FB pin (6.5–8.5 V), short-circuit protection (SCP) triggered by FB <2.5 V, overtemperature protection (OTP) at 130 °C with 20 °C hysteresis, RCS short detection, and open-circuit feedback (OCKP) monitoring. All protections initiate hiccup-mode restart or controlled shutdown without external components.
