demagnetization detection and triggering 
block
The demagnetization detection (DMG) and Triggering blocks switch on the power MOSFET 
if a negative-going edge falling below 50 mV is applied to the DMG pin. To do so, the 
triggering block must be previously armed by a positive-going edge exceeding 100 mV.
This feature is used to detect transformer demagnetization for QR operation, where the 
signal for the DMG input is obtained from the transformer’s auxiliary winding used also to 
supply the IC.
The triggering block is blanked after MOSFET’s turn-off to prevent any negative-going edge 
that follows leakage inductance demagnetization from triggering the DMG circuit 
erroneously.
This blanking time is dependent on the voltage on COMP pin: it is T
BLANK
 = 30 µs for V
COMP
 
= 0.9 V, and decreases almost linearly down to T
BLANK
 = 6 µs for V
COMP
 = 1.3 V
The voltage on the pin is both top and bottom limited by a double clamp, as illustrated in the 
internal diagram of the DMG block of 
. The upper clamp is typically located at 3.3 
V, while the lower clamp is located at -60mV. The interface between the pin and the auxiliary 
winding will be a resistor divider. Its resistance ratio as well as the individual resistance 
values will be properly chosen (see 
” 
and “
”.
Please note that the maximum I
DMG
 sunk/sourced current has to not exceed ±2 mA (AMR) 
in all the Vin range conditions. No capacitor is allowed between DMG pin and the auxiliary 
transformer.
The switching frequency is top-limited below 166 kHz, as the converter’s operating 
frequency tends to increase excessively at light load and high input voltage.
A Starter block is also used to start-up the system, that is, to turn on the MOSFET during 
converter power-up, when no or a too small signal is available on the DMG pin.
The starter frequency is 2 kHz if COMP pin is below burst mode threshold, i.e. 1 V, while it 
becomes 8 kHz if this voltage exceed this value.
