Product details
Overview
CYPAP212A1-14SXIT from Infineon is a primary-side startup controller for secondary-controlled AC/DC flyback adapters, supporting universal 85–265 VAC input, 30 kHz free-running oscillator, and dual-mode operation (X-cap discharge or non-X-cap). It drives low-side FETs directly, interfaces with secondary controllers (e.g., PAG2S/PAG1S) via pulse-edge transformer (PET), and enables Active Clamp Flyback (ACF) topology.
For engineers reviewing the CYPAP212A1-14SXIT datasheet, CYPAP212A1-14SXIT pinout, CYPAP212A1-14SXIT application, or CYPAP212A1-14SXIT equivalent, key selection criteria include HV start-up capability (500 V max), integrated VCC boost switch, SOVP via OVP_AUX, dual-threshold current sense (CSTH1/CSTH2), and X-cap discharge control in ACF mode.
Technical Context
EZ-PD™ PAG2P operates in two primary configurations: low-side switch with snubber (QR/DCM/CCM) or half-bridge non-complementary mode (Active Clamp Flyback). It receives synchronized PWM pulses via PULSEIN from secondary-side controllers and uses internal high-voltage JFET for start-up current sourcing from HV pin.
The IC integrates line UVP/OVP (via HV), auxiliary winding overvoltage protection (OVP_AUX), VCC short protection (VCCPSP), and soft-start controlled by external RT (50 kΩ) and SS (0.1 μF typical) components - enabling ~41.67 ms ramp to 70% duty cycle.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 85–265 VAC universal mains; supports both X-cap and non-X-cap topologies with HV pin rated to 500 V. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 30 kHz typical; set by 50 kΩ resistor on RT pin; enables predictable timing for soft-start and fault response. |
| Soft-Start Time | ~41.67 ms with 0.1 μF capacitor on SS pin; linear ramp from 1% to 70% duty cycle up to 3.75 V threshold. |
| Current Sense Thresholds | Dual thresholds: CSTH1 (pulse-by-pulse OCP), CSTH2 (short-circuit shutdown); enables graded fault handling. |
| VCC Boost Switch | Integrated HV NFET on BSW/BGND pins; eliminates need for external LDO and supports variable output voltage designs. |
| Auxiliary OVP | Monitors OVP_AUX pin during startup/open-loop; triggers shutdown if voltage exceeds V_OVPAUXRISE; protects secondary side. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOIC-14 (surface-mount, 150 mil width).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| HV | High-voltage start-up supply input | Accepts up to 500 V; powers IC during startup; enables X-cap discharge in ACF mode. |
| GDH | High-side gate driver logic output | Drives external floating high-side driver IC; supports non-complementary half-bridge operation. |
| PULSEIN | Pulse-edge transformer (PET) synchronization input | Receives isolated PWM pulses from secondary controller (e.g., PAG2S); enables precise primary-side timing alignment. |
| SS | Soft-start ramp capacitor terminal | Connects to external capacitor; controls soft-start duration and duty-cycle ramp profile (0–3.75 V). |
| RT | Oscillator timing resistor terminal | Connects to 50 kΩ resistor; sets free-running oscillator frequency at 30 kHz. |
| GDL | Low-side FET gate driver output | Directly drives primary-side low-side MOSFET; supports QR/DCM/CCM and ACF topologies. |
| CS | Primary-side current sense input | Monitors RSENSE voltage; triggers OCP/SCP using dual-threshold detection (CSTH1/CSTH2). |
| OVP_AUX | Auxiliary winding overvoltage detection input | Reads resistor-divider voltage from transformer aux winding; initiates shutdown if > V_OVPAUXRISE during startup. |
| BSW / BGND | Internal boost converter switch node / return | BSW connects to boost inductor/diode; BGND ties to source of internal HV NFET; enables self-powered VCC regulation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| X-cap discharge capability | Enables active X-cap discharge via HV pin in ACF mode, eliminating need for passive bleed resistors and improving standby efficiency. |
| Secondary synchronization | Uses PET-based isolation to receive real-time PWM signals from PAG2S/PAG1S, allowing full secondary-side regulation takeover after startup. |
| Integrated VCC boost converter | On-chip HV NFET (BSW/BGND) + external inductor/diode generates regulated VCC without external LDO - simplifies BOM and supports wide output voltage range. |
| Dual-threshold current protection | Separate CSTH1 (pulse-by-pulse) and CSTH2 (latched short-circuit) thresholds enable responsive yet stable overcurrent handling across load transients and faults. |
| VCC short protection (VCCPSP) | Limits HV-to-VCC start-up current to I_HV_VCCSTG when VCC is shorted to GND, preventing thermal damage during assembly or field failure. |
Applications

Use Value: Prevents overvoltage on AUX rail during light-load or open-loop conditions, avoiding downstream component stress. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar primary-side startup controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CYPAP211A1-14SXIT | Same SOIC-14 package and pinout; lacks X-cap discharge mode support; only supports non-X-cap topology. | Restricted to standard bridge-rectified input; cannot replace CYPAP212A1-14SXIT in ACF/X-cap discharge designs. | Select only when X-cap discharge is not required and cost sensitivity outweighs topology flexibility. |
| ICE5QSBG | Infineon quasi-resonant controller with integrated 650 V MOSFET; no PET interface or secondary sync; standalone primary-side regulation. | Used in simpler QR flyback designs without secondary-side digital control; no USB PD or ACF support. | Choose for cost-optimized, single-controller QR solutions where secondary-side intelligence is unnecessary. |
Compared with CYPAP211A1-14SXIT, this part adds X-cap discharge and ACF compatibility; versus ICE5QSBG, it enables tighter regulation accuracy and dynamic load response via secondary coordination - critical for USB PD compliance.

FAQ
What is the maximum voltage rating on the HV pin?
The HV pin is rated for continuous operation up to 500 V. During startup, it draws current from the rectified AC line or directly from AC mains via diodes. The internal high-voltage JFET limits current to prevent overstress, and UVLO/OVP circuitry ensures safe operation across 85–265 VAC inputs. This rating enables direct connection to bridge rectifier outputs without external voltage dividers.
How does CYPAP212A1-14SXIT achieve X-cap discharge?
CYPAP212A1-14SXIT discharges X-capacitors by routing the HV pin to the AC line through diodes in X-cap mode. When the AC input is removed, the IC activates an internal discharge path through the HV pin, sinking current from the X-cap into the internal shunt regulator. This replaces passive bleed resistors, reducing no-load power consumption and meeting IEC 62368-1 safety requirements without added BOM cost.
Can CYPAP212A1-14SXIT operate without a secondary controller?
No - CYPAP212A1-14SXIT is designed exclusively for secondary-controlled flyback topologies. It relies on PWM pulses received via PULSEIN from Infineon's PAG2S or PAG1S controllers to regulate output voltage after startup. Without those pulses, the IC remains in open-loop soft-start mode and cannot maintain stable regulation; it will trigger SOVP or OCP and shut down.
What external components are mandatory for basic operation?
Mandatory components include: (1) 50 kΩ resistor on RT pin for 30 kHz oscillator, (2) 0.1 μF capacitor on SS pin for 41.67 ms soft-start, (3) current-sense resistor (RSENSE) on CS pin, (4) boost inductor and Schottky diode connected between BSW and VCC, and (5) resistor divider on OVP_AUX for auxiliary overvoltage detection. The HV pin requires direct connection to rectified DC or AC line via diodes depending on topology.
