If the amplitude of the voltage on ZCD pin at the end of one oscillator cycle is smaller than

system would stop.
This is what normally happens during converter’s power-up or under overload/short-circuit
conditions.
During the converter’s startup phase, the voltage on ZCD pin is not high enough to arm the
triggering circuit. Thus, the converter operates at a fixed frequency, F

setting up quasi-resonant operation.
As protection, in case the ZCD voltage is permanently above the threshold V

Current limit set point and feed-forward option
The VIPER15 is a current mode converter and the drain current is limited cycle by cycle
according to the FB pin voltage value that is related with the feedback loop response and
the load. When the drain current, sensed by the integrated Sense-FET, reaches the current
limitation, after the internal propagation delay, the MOSFET is switched OFF. The current
limitation cannot exceed a certain value, I

For a QR fly-back converter the power capability strongly depends on the input voltage. In
wide-range applications at maximum line the power capability can be more than twice the
value at minimum line, as shown by the upper curve in the diagram of
