Current Mode means the duty cycle is controlled by the
slope of the primary current. This is done by comparing
the FB signal with the amplified current sense signal.

Power Management
The internal bias circuit is switched off if Latched Off
Mode or Auto Restart Mode is entered. The current
consumption is then reduced to 250µA.
Once the malfunction condition is removed, this block
will then turn back on. The recovery from Auto Restart
Mode does not require re-cycling the AC line. In case
Latched Off Mode is entered, VCC needs to be
dropped below 6.23V to reset the Latched Off Mode.
This is done usually by re-cycling the AC line.
When Active Burst Mode is entered, the internal Bias is
switched off most of the time but the Voltage Reference
is kept alive in order to reduce the current consumption
below 450µA.

Pulse Width Modulation
In case the amplified current sense signal exceeds the
FB signal, the on-time T
on
of the driver is finished by
resetting the PWM-Latch (see Figure 5).
The primary current is sensed by the external series
resistor R
Sense
inserted in the source of the external
power MOSFET. By means of Current Mode
regulation, the secondary output voltage is insensitive
