Description
The LinkSwitch
TM
-4 family of ICs dramatically simplifies low power CV/CC
charger design by eliminating an optocoupler and secondary control
circuitry. The LinkSwitch-4 family adaptive BJT drive technology uses
combined base and emitter switching to boost switching performance
and deliver higher efficiency, wider Reverse Bias Safe Operating Area
(RBSOA) margin and the flexibility to accommodate a wide range of low
cost BJT. The device incorporates a multimode PWM/PFM controller
with quasi resonant switch to maximize the efficiency, meets low
no-load power and at same time maintain fast transient response
greater than 4.3 V with a load change from 0% to 100%.

LinkSwitch-4
Functional Description
Power-Up/Power-Down Sequences
Refer to Figure 10 and Figure 7. When mains input voltage (V
IN
) is
applied, current flows through the start-up resistors (R
HT
) and BJT.
Some of this current flows into the LinkSwitch-4 internal circuits,
which are in Sleep mode; the remainder charges capacitor C
VCC
.
As soon as the VOLTAGE SUPPLY pin voltage rises to V
VCC(RUN)
, the
LinkSwitch-4 changes to Initialise mode. Current consumption
increases to I
VCC(RUN)
while internal circuits are enabled. The emitter
switch is held at low impedance to ground (GND) and a short drive
pulse is output on the BASE DRIVE pin, during which time the voltage
at feedback is held at GND potential by current sourced from the
FEEDBACK pin. This enables the LinkSwitch-4 control circuit to
compare the rectified mains input voltage with thresholds for allowing
or preventing the next stage of power-up. If the input voltage is too
low (I
FB
< I
FBHT(START)
), the LinkSwitch-4 will not issue further drive
pulses, the VCC voltage will discharge to V
VCC(SLEEP)
, and the power-up
sequence will repeat. If the mains input voltage is high enough (I
FB
>
I
FBHT(START)
), the LinkSwitch-4 will enter Run mode and drive pulses will
be output on the BASE DRIVE pin. To achieve smooth power-up
(monotonic rise in V
OUT
), C
VCC
must be large enough to power the
control circuitry during Initialize mode and the first few cycles of Run
mode, until sufficient power is provided by the transformer voltage
supply winding.
If the input voltage falls below V
MAINS(LO)
(see Input Undervoltage
Protection), V
VCC
will fall below V
VCC(SLEEP)
and the LinkSwitch-4 will go
into Sleep mode, reducing its current consumption to I
VCC(SLEEP)
. The
control circuitry will re-initialize if the input voltage is restored and
V
VCC
reaches V
VCC(RUN)
.

VCC Waveforms.
Mode
Description
From initial application of input power or from Run mode, if V
VCC
falls below V
VCC(SLEEP)
, the LinkSwitch-4 goes to Sleep mode.
Non-essential circuits are turned off. Base and Emitter drives are turned off so BASE DRIVE and EMITTER DRIVE pins
become high impedance, allowing the bootstrap resistor (R
HT
) and BJT to start the circuit. Sleep mode is exited when V
VCC
rises to V
VCC(RUN)
and the control circuitry goes to Initialize mode.
Internal circuits are enabled and the LinkSwitch-4 issues one switching cycle to sample the input voltage via the FEEDBACK
pin. If V
IN
(hence V
HT
) is high enough, the LinkSwitch-4 changes to Run mode. If V
IN
is not high enough, no further base drive
pulses are issued and the LinkSwitch-4 returns to Sleep mode when V
VCC
falls below V
VCC(SLEEP)
.
Power conversion: The control circuitry is powered from the VCC rail and the internal V
DD
is regulated. If V
VCC
falls below
V
VCC(SLEEP)
, the IC ceases power conversion and goes to Sleep mode.

Typical Waveforms at the Feedback and Primary Current Sense Inputs.
Constant Voltage (CV) Regulation
Constant output voltage regulation is achieved by sensing the voltage
at the feedback input, which is connected to the voltage supply
winding as shown in Figure 10 or to a dedicated feedback winding.
An internal current source prevents the feedback voltage from going
negative. A typical feedback voltage waveform is shown in Figure 8.
The feedback waveform is continuously analyzed and sampled at time
t
SAMP
to measure the reflected output voltage. t
SAMP
is identified by the
slope of the feedback waveform and is coincident with zero flux in the
transformer. The sampled voltage is regulated at V
FB(REG)
by the
voltage control loop. The (typical) CV mode output voltage is set by
the ratio of resistors R
FB1
and R
FB2
(see Figure 10) and by the
transformer turns ratio, according to the following formula (where
output diode voltage is neglected):
approximate mains input voltage. If the input voltage is below
V
MAINS(START)
then the LinkSwitch-4 will not start. Instead it will pause
while V
VCC
discharges below V
VCC(SLEEP)
then it will begin a new power-up
cycle. If the input voltage exceeds V
MAINS(START)
, the converter will
power-up. V
MAINS(START)
is set by R
FB1

Where N
F
is the number of turns on the feedback (or voltage supply

S
is the number of turns on the
secondary winding. The tolerances of R
FB1
and R
FB2
affect output
voltage regulation and mains estimation so should typically be chosen
to be 1% or better.
The current required to clamp the feedback voltage to ground
potential during the on-time of the primary switch depends on the
primary winding voltage (approximately equal to the rectified mains
input voltage), the primary to feedback turns ratio, and resistor R
FB1
.
The controller measures feedback source current and so enables R
FB1
to set the input voltage start threshold and the input undervoltage
protection threshold, as described below.

Constant Current (CC Mode) Regulation
Constant current output (I
OUT(CC)
) is achieved by regulating the CS
input to the primary side estimate of the output current scaled by R
CS,
V
CS(CC)
. The regulated output current, I
OUT(CC)
is set by the value of the
current sense resistor, R
CS
, and the transformer primary to secondary
turns ratio (N
P

S
). The value of R
CS
is determined using the formula:

The tolerance of R

regulation so is typically chosen to be 1%. The LinkSwitch-4 can
maintain CC regulation down to much lower levels of V

normally specified for mobile phones chargers (see Figure 11).
