PRODUCTION DATA.
The VS pin connects to a resistor-divider from the auxiliary winding to ground. The auxiliary voltage waveform is sampled at the end of the transformer secondary-current demagnetization time. The waveform on the VS pin determines (1) the timing information to achieve valley-switching, (2) the timing to control the duty-cycle of the transformer secondary current, and (3) the output voltage over-voltage. Avoid placing a filter capacitor on this input which interferes with accurate sensing of this waveform.
Besides, the VS pin also has these two functions: (4) senses the bulk capacitor input voltage to provide for ac-input run and stop thresholds, and (5) to compensate the current-sense threshold across the AC-input range. This information is sensed by monitoring the current pulled out of the VS pin during the MOSFET on-time. During this time the voltage on the VS pin is clamped to about 250 mV below GND. As a result, the current out of the pin is determined by the upper VS divider resistor, the auxiliary to primary turns-ratio and the bulk input voltage level. For the AC-input run/stop function, the run threshold on VS is IVSL(run) (typical 210 µA) and the stop threshold is IVSL(stop) (typical 75 µA). The values for the auxiliary voltage divider upper-resistor RS1 and lower-resistor RS2 can be determined by the equations below.

Notice that VS pin absolute maximum current IVS in its negative clamping is 1.2 mA. After determined RS1 it is required to check if VS pin current stays ≤ 1.2 mA. The check is to determine the input voltage ratio in this design and make VIN(max) / VIN(run) ≤ IVS / IVSL(run) = 1.2 mA / 0.25 mA = 4.8, i.e., VIN(max) / VIN(run) ≤ 4.8. If the design cannot meet this criterion, external circuit is needed to add in to make sure VS pin current ≤ 1.2 mA, for example, to use a zener type of device to clamp the transformer aux-winding negative voltage to achieve VIN(max) / VIN(run) ≤ 4.8.
