LNK403-410/413-420
Functional Description
A LinkSwitch-PH device monolithically integrates a controller and
high-voltage power FET into one package. The controller
implements both high power factor and a constant current
output in a single stage. The LinkSwitch-PH controller consists
of an oscillator, feedback (sense and logic) circuit, 5.9 V regulator,
hysteretic over-temperature protection, frequency jittering,
cycle-by-cycle current limit, auto-restart, inductance correction,
power factor and constant current control.

the FEEDBACK pin current. Above I

and overvoltage thresholds of the VOLTAGE MONITOR pin. For
non-dimming or PWM dimming applications with LNK413-420,
the external resistor should be a 24.9 kW ±1%, for high-line and
universal input voltage designs, and 49.9 kW ±1% for low-line
input voltage designs. For phase angle AC dimming with
LNK403-410, the external resistor should be a 49.9 kW ±1%.
One percent resistors are recommended as the resistor
tolerance directly affects the output tolerance. Other resistor
values should not be used.
BYPASS Pin Capacitor Power Gain Selection
LinkSwitch-PH devices have the capability to tailor the internal
gain to either full or a reduced output power setting. This allows
selection of a larger device to minimize dissipation for both
thermal and efficiency reasons. The power gain is selected with
the value of the BYPASS pin capacitor. The full power setting is
selected with a 100
mF
capacitor and the reduced power setting
(for higher efficiency) is selected with a 10
mF
capacitor. The
BYPASS pin capacitor sets both the internal power gain as well
as the over-current protection (OCP) threshold. Unlike the
larger devices, the LNK4x3 power gain is not programmable.
Use a 10
mF
capacitor for the LNK4x3.
Switching Frequency
The switching frequency is 66 kHz. To further reduce the EMI
level, the switching frequency is jittered (frequency modulated)
by approximately ±1 kHz.
Soft-Start
The controller includes a soft-start timing feature which inhibits
the auto-restart protection feature for the soft-start period (t
SOFT
)
to distinguish start-up into a fault (short-circuit) from a large
output capacitor. At start-up the LinkSwitch-PH clamps the
maximum duty cycle to reduce the output power. The total
soft-start period is t
SOFT
.
Remote ON/OFF and EcoSmart
The VOLTAGE MONITOR pin has a 1 V threshold comparator
connected at its input. This voltage threshold is used for
remote ON/OFF control. When a signal is received at the
VOLTAGE MONITOR pin to disable the output (VOLTAGE
MONITOR pin tied to ground through an optocoupler photo-
transistor) the LinkSwitch-PH will complete its current switching
cycle before the internal power FET is forced off.
The remote ON/OFF feature can also be used as an eco-mode
or power switch to turn off the LinkSwitch-PH and keep it in a
very low power consumption state for indefinite long periods.
When the LinkSwitch-PH is remotely turned on after entering
this mode, it will initiate a normal start-up sequence with
soft-start the next time the BYPASS pin reaches 5.9 V. In the
worst case, the delay from remote on to start-up can be equal
to the full discharge/charge cycle time of the BYPASS pin. This
reduced consumption remote off mode can eliminate expensive
and unreliable in-line mechanical switches.

FEEDBACK Pin Current Characteristic.
The FEEDBACK pin current is also used to clamp the maximum
duty cycle to limit the available output power for overload and
open-loop conditions. This duty cycle reduction characteristic
also promotes a monotonic output current start-up characteristic
to prevent over-shoot.
REFERENCE Pin
The REFERENCE pin is tied to ground (SOURCE) via an external
resistor. The value selected sets the internal references,
determining the operating mode for dimming (LNK403-410) and
non-dimming (LNK413-420) operation and the line undervoltage

Over-Current Protection
The current limit circuit senses the current in the power FET.
When this current exceeds the internal threshold (I
LIMIT
), the power
FET is turned off for the remainder of that cycle. A leading edge
blanking circuit inhibits the current limit comparator for a short
time (t
LEB
) after the power FET is turned on. This leading edge
blanking time has been set so that current spikes caused by
capacitance and rectifier reverse recovery will not cause
premature termination of the power FET conduction.
Line Under/Overvoltage Protection
This device includes both line under- and overvoltage detection
to limit the minimum start-up and maximum operating voltage
detected through the VOLTAGE MONITOR pin. An external peak
detector consisting of a diode and capacitor are required to
provide input line peak voltage to the VOLTAGE MONITOR pin
through a resistor. At power up, I
UV+
keeps the LinkSwitch-PH
off until the input line voltage reaches the undervoltage threshold.
At power down, I
UV-
prevents restart attempts after the output
goes out of regulation.
The same resistor used for UV also sets line overvoltage (OV)
shutdown threshold which, once exceeded, forces the
LinkSwitch-PH to stop switching (after completion of the current
switching cycle). Once the line voltage returns to normal, the
device resumes normal operation. A small amount of hysteresis
is provided on the OV threshold to prevent noise triggering.
When the power FET is off, the rectified DC high voltage surge
capability is increased to the voltage rating of the power FET
(725 V), due to the absence of the reflected voltage and leakage
spikes on the drain.
Hysteretic Thermal Shutdown
The thermal shutdown circuitry senses the controller die
temperature. The threshold is set at 142 °C typical with a 75 °C
hysteresis. When the die temperature rises above this threshold
(142 °C) the power FET is disabled and remains disabled until
the die temperature falls by 75 °C, at which point the power FET
is re-enabled.
Safe Operating Area (SOA) Protection
The device also features a safe operating area (SOA) protection
mode which disables FET switching for 40 cycles in the event
the peak switch current reaches the I
LIMIT
threshold and the
switch on-time is less than t
ON(SOA)
. This protection mode protects
the device under short-circuited LED conditions and at start-up
during the soft-start period when auto-restart protection is inhibited.
The SOA protection mode remains active in normal operation.

5.9 V Regulator/Shunt Voltage Clamp
The internal 5.9 V regulator charges the bypass capacitor
connected to the BYPASS pin to 5.9 V by drawing a current
from the voltage on the DRAIN pin whenever the power FET is
off. The BYPASS pin is the internal supply voltage node. When
the power FET is on, the device operates from the energy
stored in the bypass capacitor. Extremely low power
consumption of the internal circuitry allows LinkSwitch-PH
to operate continuously from current it takes from the DRAIN
pin. A bypass capacitor value of 10 or 100
mF
is sufficient for
both high frequency decoupling and energy storage. In
addition, there is a 6.4 V shunt regulator clamping the BYPASS
pin at 6.4 V when current is provided to the BYPASS pin
through an external resistor. This facilitates powering of
LinkSwitch-PH externally through a bias winding to increase
operating efficiency. It is recommended that the BYPASS pin is
supplied current from the bias winding for normal operation.
Auto-Restart
In the event of an open-loop fault (open FEEDBACK pin resistor
or broken path to feedback winding), output short-circuits or an
overload condition the controller enters into the auto-restart
mode. The controller annunciates both short-circuit and
open-loop conditions once the FEEDBACK pin current falls
below the I
FB(AR)
threshold after the soft-start period. To
minimize the power dissipation under this fault condition the
shutdown/auto-restart circuit turns the power supply on (same
as the soft-start period) and off at an auto-restart duty cycle of
typically DC
AR
for as long as the fault condition persists. If the
fault is removed during the auto-restart off-time, the power
supply will remain in auto-restart until the full off-time count is
completed. Special consideration must be made to appropriately
size the output capacitor to ensure that after the soft-start
period (t
SOFT
) the FEEDBACK pin current is above the I
FB(AR)
threshold to ensure successful power-supply start-up.
After the soft-start time period, auto-restart is activated only
when the FEEDBACK pin current falls below I
FB(AR)
.

Application Example
14 W TRIAC Dimmable High Power Factor LED Driver
Design Example
The circuit schematic in Figure 7 shows a TRIAC dimmable high
power-factor LED driver based on LNK406EG from the
LinkSwitch-PH family of devices. It was optimized to drive an
LED string at a voltage of 28 V with a constant current of 0.5 A
(±5%) ideal for PAR lamp retro-fit applications. The design
operates over a universal input voltage range of 90 VAC to
265 VAC but provides the specified output current tolerance
over a line voltage range of 90 VAC to 132 VAC (this is configurable
for high-line only applications by simple component value changes).
The key goals of this design were compatibility with standard
leading edge TRIAC AC dimmers, very wide dimming range
(1000:1, 500 mA:0.5 mA), high efficiency (>85%) and high power
factor (>0.9). The design is fully protected from faults such as
no-load, overload and output short-circuit conditions and over
temperature.
Circuit Description
The LinkSwitch-PH device (U1) integrates the power FET,
controller and start-up functions into a single package reducing
the component count versus typical implementations. Configured
as part of an isolated continuous conduction mode flyback
converter, U1 provides high power factor via its internal control
algorithm together with the small input capacitance of the
design. Continuous conduction mode operation results in
reduced primary peak and RMS current. This both reduces
EMI noise, allowing simpler, smaller EMI filtering components and
improves efficiency. Output current regulation is maintained
without the need for secondary-side sensing which eliminates
current sense resistors and improves efficiency.
Input Stage
Fuse F1 provides protection from component failures while RV1
provides a clamp during differential line surges, keeping the
peak drain voltage of U1 below the 725 V rating of the internal
power FET. Bridge rectifier BR1 rectifies the AC line voltage.
EMI filtering is provided by L1-L3, C1, R16 and R17 together with
the safety rated Y class capacitor (C7) that bridges the safety
isolation barrier between primary and secondary. Resistor R16
and R17 act to damp any resonances formed between L1, L2,
C1 and the AC line impedance. A small bulk capacitor (C2) is
required to provide a low impedance source for the primary
switching current. The maximum value of C1 and C2 is limited in
order to maintain a power factor of greater than 0.9.
LinkSwitch-PH Primary
To provide peak line voltage information to U1 the incoming
rectified AC peak charges C3 via D2. This is then fed into the
VOLTAGE MONITOR pin of U1 as a current via R2 and R3. This
sensed current is also used by the device to set the line input
overvoltage and undervoltage protection thresholds. Resistor
R1 provides a discharge path for C3 with a time constant much
longer than that of the rectified AC to prevent generation of line
frequency ripple.
The VOLTAGE MONITOR pin current and the FEEDBACK pin
current are used internally to control the average output LED
current. For TRIAC phase-dimming applications a 49.9 kW
resistor (R4) is used on the REFERENCE pin and 4 MW (R2+R3)
on the VOLTAGE MONITOR pin to provide a linear relationship
between input voltage and the output current and maximizing
the dimming range. Resistor R4 also sets the internal line input
undervoltage and overvoltage protection thresholds.
