15 V. Under 3 mA and neglecting the series diode forward
drop, it requires a series resistor of:
14 V. Given the divide−by−6 ratio, the OPP pin will swing
to 14/6 = 2.3 V during normal conditions, leaving 700 mV
selected a 15 V Zener diode. In nominal conditions, the
voltage on the OPP pin is almost 0 V during the off time as
the Zener is fully blocked. This technique clearly improves
the noise immunity of the system compared to that obtained
from a resistive string as in Figure 46. Please note the
reduction of the capacitor on the OPP pin to 10 pF − 22 pF.
This capacitor is necessary because of the potential spike
coupling through the Zener parasitic capacitance from the
bias winding due to the leakage inductance. Despite the 1 ms
blanking delay at turn off. This spike is energetic enough to
charge the added capacitor C
could make it discharge slower, potentially disturbing the
blanking circuit. When implementing the Zener option, it is
important to carefully observe the OPP pin voltage (short

Over Temperature Protection
thermal runaways, e.g. when the temperature inside the
adapter box increases above a certain value. Figure 48
shows how to implement a simple OTP using an external
NTC and a series diode. The principle remains the same:
make sure the OPP network is not affected by the additional
NTC hence the presence of this isolation diode. When the
NTC resistance decreases as the temperature increases, the
voltage on the OPP pin during the off time will slowly
increase and, once it passes 3 V for 4 consecutive clock
cycles, the controller will permanently latch off.
A second solution for the OVP detection alone, is to use
