NCL30185
Power Factor Corrected
Quasi-Resonant Primary
Side Current-Mode
Controller for LED Lighting
with Line Step Dimming and
Thermal Foldback
The NCL30185 is a controller targeting isolated and non−isolated
“smart−dimmable” constant−current LED drivers. Designed to
support flyback, buck−boost, and SEPIC topologies, its proprietary
current−control algorithm provides near−unity power factor and
tightly regulates a constant LED current from the primary side, thus
eliminating the need for a secondary−side feedback circuitry or an
optocoupler.
Housed in the SOIC8, the NCL30185 is specifically intended for
very compact space−efficient designs. The device is highly integrated
with a minimum number of external components. A robust suite of
safety protections is built in to simplify the design. To ensure reliable
operation at elevated temperatures, a user configurable current
foldback circuit is also provided. In addition, it supports step dimming
which allows light output reduction by toggling the main AC switch
on and off.
Pin−to−pin compatible to the NCL30085, the NCL30185 provides
the same benefits with in addition, an increased resolution of the
digital current−control algorithm for a 75% reduction in the LED
current quantization ripple.

Pin Description
Connected to the auxiliary winding, this pin detects the core reset event.
This pin observes the input voltage rail and protects the LED driver in case of
too low mains conditions (brown−out).
This pin also observes the input voltage rail for:
− Power Factor Correction
− Valley lockout
− Step dimming
This pin receives a filtering capacitor for power factor correction. Typical values
ranges from 1 − 4.70
mF
Connecting an NTC to this pin allows the user to program thermal current fold-
back threshold and slope. A Zener diode can also be used to pull−up the pin
and stop the controller for adjustable OVP protection.
This pin monitors the primary peak current.
Controller ground pin.
The driver’s output to an external MOSFET
This pin is the positive supply of the IC. The circuit starts to operate when
V
CC
exceeds 18 V and turns off when
V
CC
goes below 8.8 V (typical values). After
start−up, the operating range is 9.4 V up to 26 V (V

(OVP )
minimum level).

7. A NTC is generally placed between the SD and GND pins. Parameters R
TF(start)
, R
TF(stop)
, R
OTP(off)
and R
OTP(on)
give the resistance the
NTC must exhibit to respectively, enter thermal foldback, stop thermal foldback, trigger the OTP limit and allow the circuit recovery after
an OTP situation.
8. At startup, when V
CC
reaches V
CC(on)
, the controller blanks OTP for more than 250
ms
to avoid detecting an OTP fault by allowing the
SD pin voltage to reach its nominal value if a filtering capacitor is connected to the SD pin.
