PRODUCTION DATA
Input zero crossing detection is only enabled when AC brownout option is selected for BLK pin sensing. With this option, the BLK pin detects the HV pin voltage through a resistor divider. The expected waveform is the divided down rectified AC voltage. Below shows an example using 8MΩ and 100kΩ for the BLK resistor divider at 70Vac input and 265Vac input.
The method to determine AC presence uses a comparator that looks at the instantaneous BLK voltage and ½ of the BLK peak detector output. If the instantaneous BLK voltage falls below ½ the peak BLK voltage and then rises above ½ BLK peak voltage (with a hysteresis), AC presence is detected. Effectively, the X-capacitor discharge algorithm is looking for a rising edge on the BLK comparator output (blk_zcd) to detect the presence of AC.
