Zero current detection and triggering block
The zero current detection (ZCD) and triggering blocks switch on the power MOSFET if a 
negative-going edge falling below 50 mV is applied to the ZCD/FB 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 ZCD input is obtained from the transformer’s auxiliary winding used also to 
supply the IC.
Figure 11.
ZCD block, triggering block
The triggering block is blanked after MOSFET’s turn-off to prevent any negative-going edge 
that follows leakage inductance demagnetization from triggering the ZCD circuit 
erroneously.
This blanking time is dependent on the voltage on COMP pin: it is T
