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.

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.
After the first few cycles initiated by the starter, as the voltage developed across the auxiliary
winding becomes large enough to arm the DMG circuit, MOSFET's turn-on will start to be
locked to transformer demagnetization, hence setting up QR operation. The starter is
activated also when the IC is in Constant Current regulation and the output voltage is not
high enough to allow the DMG triggering.

Drain ringing cycle skipping as the load is progressively reduced
Note:
That when the system operates in valley skipping-mode, uneven switching cycles may be
observed under some line/load conditions, due to the fact that the OFF-time of the MOSFET
is allowed to change with discrete steps of one ringing cycle, while the OFF-time needed for
cycle-by-cycle energy balance may fall in between. Thus one or more longer switching
cycles will be compensated by one or more shorter cycles and vice versa. However, this
mechanism is absolutely normal and there is no appreciable effect on the performance of
the converter or on its output voltage.
