Extremely Low Standby Power PSR Switcher AP3984 5V 1A EV1 Evaluation Board User Guide

Chapter 1. Summary
1.1 General Description
The AP3984 stands out as an extremely low standbypower (<10mW) Primary Side Regulation (PSR) switcher for power supplies based on optimal cost- effectiveness, efficiency, Constant Voltage (CV) & Constant Current (CC) accuracy, and versatile protection functions.
The AP3984, with built-in Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT), regulates the output voltage and current in the primary side by piece-wise Pulse Frequency Modulation (p-PFM) and primary current peak Amplitude Modulation (AM) in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM). The system operating frequency reduces linearly from heavy load to light load in each interval of the p-PFM, and operating frequency is fixed at medium load by varying primary current peak amplitude.
The AP3984 has good transient characteristics in combination with the secondary side IC like AP4341/AP43410 (PSR Accelerator). Typically, minimal voltage of 4.3V at PCB side can be achieved for dynamic test of 5V application system.
The AP3984 provides operating frequency dithering function to improve EMC performance of power supply. The AP3984 also has programmable cable voltage drop compensation function by external resistor.
1.2 Key Features Primary Side Control for Eliminating Opto-coupler Built-in 700V BJT Excellent Transient Characteristics High Voltage and Super-speed Start up External Adjustable Output Cable Voltage Drop
Compensation Ultra-low No-load Power Consumption(<10mW) Multiple PWM/PFM Mode to Improve Audio Noise
and Efficiency Valley-on for Higher Efficiency and Better EMI Multiple Protections: Over Voltage Protection (OVP) Output Short Circuit Protection (SCP) Over Temperature Protection (OTP) Totally Lead-free & Fully RoHS Compliant (SO-7) Halogen and Antimony Free. “Green” Device
