sense initiates a new cycle when FB passes the skip level.
Demagnetization Detection
The core reset detection is done by monitoring the
voltage activity on the auxiliary winding. This voltage
features a FLYBACK polarity. The typical detection level
is fixed at 50 mV as exemplified by Figure 20.

An internal timer prevents any restart within 8.0 ms
further to the driver going−low transition. This prevents the
switching frequency to exceed (1.0/TON + 8.0 ms) but also

avoid false leakage inductance tripping at turn−off. In some
cases, the leakage inductance kick is so energetic, that a
slight filtering is necessary.
