PVCC Approx. 7.1 V Approx. 7.1 V VB:
I
The terminal is connected via the transformer's
Upper limit
voltage clamp
sub-coil and resistor. The reset of transformer is
detected and the trigger signal to turn on the power
MOSFET is sent.

Lower limit
VB
Comparator
Since the coil signal of transformer is input as
current, the IC incorporates the circuit which
voltage clamp
input
clamps the upper/lower limit voltage to prevent
malfunction.

Grounding terminal
This terminal is used in common for grounding
the control system and the power system.

The output terminal.
It is capable of driving the gate of power MOSFET
directly.

MOSFET
drive block
It determines the upper limit of output drive volt-
age. Normally, it is used at the same potential of
SVCC .
