time in CRM operation varies with the instantaneous input
voltage. The NCP1606 determines the correct off time by
sensing the inductor voltage. When the inductor current
drops to zero, the drain voltage (“Vd” in Figure 23) is
essentially floating and naturally begins to drop. If the
switch is turned on at this moment, then CRM operation
will be achieved. To measure this high voltage directly on
the inductor is generally not economical or practical.
Rather, a smaller winding is taken off of the boost inductor.
This winding, called the zero current detector (ZCD)
winding, gives a scaled version of the inductor output and
is more useful to the controller.
Note that the maximum on time of the controller occurs
Combining this equation with equation 1, gives:

ZCD winding. When the drive is on, a negative voltage
appears on the ZCD winding. And when the drive is off, a
positive voltage appears. When the inductor current drops
to zero, then the ZCD voltage falls and starts to ring around
zero volts. The NCP1606 detects this falling edge and starts
the next driver on time. To ensure that a ZCD event has
truly occurred, the NCP1606’s logic (Figure 29) waits for
the ZCD pin voltage to rise above V
and then fall below V
CRM operation is easily achieved.
