7.3.1 HV - High Voltage Input

Connect the high voltage (HV) pin to the two ends of the X-capacitor at the line input, through two diodes as shown in Figure 7-1. HV pin charges the bias supply (VCC) capacitor at start-up. The HV pin also discharges the X-capacitor when the input line voltage is removed. When X-cap discharge is not needed, this connection is still required to minimize the standby power consumption. The UCG2883x/4x device charges VCC capacitor through HV pin during standby mode, when the Flyback converter operates in the deep burst mode with long idle period. The charge current can be smoothed out using a resistor (less than 510Ω) in series with the HV pin. When designing for DC input applications, the HV pin can be directly connected to the input bulk capacitor with corresponding resistor setting on the CFX pin to disable the X-cap discharge feature. Due to the lack of line voltage zero crossing, the standby power consumption is slightly increased in DC input applications.
