Description
The LYTSwitch™-6 series family of ICs dramatically simplifies the
development and manufacturing of off-line LED drivers, particularly
those in compact enclosures or with high efficiency requirements.
The LYTSwitch-6 architecture is revolutionary in that the devices
incorporate both primary and secondary controllers, with sense
elements and a safety-rated feedback mechanism into a single IC.
Close component proximity and innovative use of the integrated
communication link, FluxLink, permit accurate control of a secondary-
side synchronous rectification MOSFET with Quasi-Resonant switching
of primary integrated high-voltage MOSFET to maintain high efficiency
across the entire load range.

LYTSwitch-6 Functional Description
The LYTSwitch-6 combines a high-voltage power MOSFET switch,
along with both primary-side and secondary-side controllers in one
device.
The architecture incorporates a novel inductive coupling feedback
scheme using the package lead frame and bond wires to provide a
safe, reliable, and low-cost means to communicate accurate direct
sensing of the output voltage and output current on the secondary
controller to the primary controller.
The primary controller on LYTSwitch-6 is a Quasi-Resonant (QR)
flyback controller that has the ability to operate in continuous
conduction mode (CCM). The controller uses both variable frequency
and variable current control schemes. The primary controller consists
of a frequency jitter oscillator; a receiver circuit magnetically coupled
to the secondary controller, a current limit controller, 5 V regulator on
the PRIMARY BYPASS pin, audible noise reduction engine for light load
operation, bypass overvoltage detection circuit, a lossless input line
sensing circuit, current limit selection circuitry, over-temperature
protection, leading edge blanking, and a 650 V / 725 V power MOSFET.
The LYTSwitch-6 secondary controller consists of a transmitter circuit
that is magnetically coupled to the primary receiver, a constant
voltage (CV) and a constant current (CC) control circuit, a 4.4 V
regulator on the secondary SECONDARY BYPASS pin, synchronous
rectifier MOSFET driver, QR mode circuit, oscillator and timing
functions, thermal foldback control and a host of integrated
protection features.
Figure 3 and Figure 4 show the functional block diagrams of the
primary and secondary controller with the most important features.

LYTSwitch-6
Primary Controller
The LYTSwitch-6 features variable frequency QR controller + CCM
operation for enhanced efficiency and extended output power
capability.
PRIMARY BYPASS Pin Regulator
The PRIMARY BYPASS pin has an internal regulator that charges the
PRIMARY BYPASS pin capacitor to V
BPP
by drawing current from the
voltage on the DRAIN pin whenever the power MOSFET is off. The
PRIMARY BYPASS pin is the internal supply voltage node. When the
power MOSFET is on, the device operates from the energy stored in
the PRIMARY BYPASS pin capacitor.
In addition, there is a shunt regulator clamping the PRIMARY BYPASS
pin voltage to V
SHUNT
when the current is provided to the PRIMARY
BYPASS pin through an external resistor. This facilitates powering the
LYTSwitch-6 externally through a bias winding to decrease the
no-load consumption to less than 15 mW.
Primary Bypass ILIM Programming
LYTSwitch-6 has user programmable current limit (ILIM) settings
through the selection of PRIMARY BYPASS pin capacitor value. The
PRIMARY BYPASS pin can use a ceramic capacitor for decoupling the
internal supply of the device.
There are (2) programmable settings using 0.47
mF
and 4.7
mF
for
standard and increased ILIM settings respectively.

Steady-State Switching Frequency (kHz)

Normalized Primary Current vs. Frequency.
Current Limit Operation
The primary-side controller has a current limit threshold ramp that is
inversely proportional to time from the end of the last primary
switching cycle (i.e. from the time the primary FET turns off at the
end of a switching cycle).
The characteristic produces a primary current limit that increases as
the load increases (Figure 6).
This algorithm enables the most efficient use of the primary switch
with immediate response when a feedback switching cycle request is
received.
At high load, switching cycle have a maximum current approaching
100% ILIM gradually reduced to 30% of the full current limit as the
load reduces. Once 30% current limit is reached, there is no further
reduction in current limit (since this is low enough to avoid audible
noise) but the time between switching cycles will continue to reduce
as load reduces.
Jitter
The normalized current limit is modulated between 100% and 95% at
a modulation frequency of f
M
this results in a frequency jitter of ~7 kHz
with average frequency of ~100 kHz.
Auto-Restart
In the event a fault condition occurs such as an output overload,
output short-circuit, or external component/pin fault, the LYTSwitch-6
enters into auto-restart (AR) operation. In auto-restart the power
MOSFET switching is disabled for t
AR(OFF)
. There are 2 ways to enter
auto-restart:
Primary Bypass Undervoltage Threshold
The PRIMARY BYPASS pin undervoltage circuitry disables the power
MOSFET when the PRIMARY BYPASS pin voltage drops below ~4.5 V
(V
BPP
- V
BP(H)
) in steady-state operation. Once the PRIMARY BYPASS
pin voltage falls below this threshold, it must rise back to V
SHUNT
to
re-enable turn-on of the power MOSFET.
Primary Bypass Output Overvoltage Auto-Restart Function
The PRIMARY BYPASS pin has an OV protection non-latching feature.
A Zener diode in parallel to the resistor in series with the PRIMARY
BYPASS pin capacitor is typically used to detect an overvoltage on the
primary bias winding to activate this protection mechanism. In the
event the current into the PRIMARY BYPASS pin exceeds I
SD
, the
device will disable the power MOSFET switching for a time t
AR(OFF)
.
After this time the controller will restart operation and attempt to
return to regulation.
This VOUT OV protection is also available as an integrated feature on
the secondary controller.
Over-Temperature Protection
The thermal shutdown circuitry senses the primary MOSFET die
temperature. The threshold is typically set to T
SD
with T
SD(H)
hysteresis. When the die temperature rises above this threshold the
power MOSFET is disabled and remains disabled until the die
temperature falls by T
SD(H)
at which point it is re-enabled. A large
hysteresis of T
SD(H)
is provided to prevent over-heating of the PCB due
to continuous fault condition.

LYTSwitch-6
The second was included to ensure that if communication is lost, the
primary tries to restart again. Although this should never be the case
in normal operation, this can be useful in the case of system ESD
events for example where a loss of communication due to noise
disturbing the secondary controller, the issue is resolved when the
primary restarts after an auto-restart off time.
The very first auto-restart off-time is short. This short auto-restart
timer is to provide a quick recovery under fast reset conditions. The
short auto-restart off-time allows the controller to quickly check to
determine whether the auto-restart condition is maintained beyond
t
AR(OFF)SH
. If so will resort to full auto-restart off timing.
The auto-restart is reset as soon as an AC reset occurs.
SOA Protection
In the event there are two consecutive cycles where the ILIM is
reached within the blanking time and current limit delay time
(~500 ns), the controller will skip approximately 2.5 cycles or ~25
ms
(based on full frequency of 100 kHz). This provides sufficient time for
reset of the transformer during start-up into large capacitive loads
without extending the start-up time.
Input Line Voltage Monitoring
The INPUT OVERVOLTAGE pin is used for input overvoltage sensing
and protection.
A 4 MΩ resistor is tied between the high-voltage DC bulk capacitor
after the bridge (or to the AC side of the bridge rectifier for fast AC
reset) and the INPUT OVERVOLTAGE pin to enable this functionality.
This pin functionality can be disabled by shorting INPUT
OVERVOLTAGE pin to primary Source.
Primary/Secondary-Side Handshake
At start-up, the primary-side initially switches without any feedback
information (this is very similar to the operation of a standard
TOPSwitch™, TinySwitch™ or LinkSwitch™ controllers).
If no feedback signals are received during the auto-restart on-time
(t
AR
), the primary goes into auto-restart mode. Under normal
conditions, the secondary controller will power-up via the FORWARD
pin or from OUTPUT VOLTAGE pin and take over control. From this
point onwards the secondary controls switching.
If the primary stops switching or does not respond to cycle requests
from the secondary during normal operation (when the secondary
has control), the handshake protocol is initiated to ensure that the
secondary is ready to assume control once the primary begins to
switch again. An additional handshake is also triggered if the
secondary detects that the primary is providing more cycles than
were requested.
The most likely event that could require an additional handshake is
when the primary stops switching as the result of a momentary line
brown-out event. When the primary resumes operation, it will default
into a start-up condition and attempt to detect handshake pulses
from the secondary.
If the secondary does not detect that the primary responds to
switching requests for 8 consecutive cycles, or if the secondary
detects that the primary is switching without cycle requests for 4
or more consecutive cycles, the secondary controller will initiate a

second handshake sequence. This provides additional protection
against cross-conduction of SF FET while the primary is switching.
This protection mode also prevents an output overvoltage condition
in the event that the primary is reset while the secondary is still in
control.
Wait and Listen
When the primary resumes switching after initial power-up recovery
from input line voltage fault or an auto-restart event, it will assume
control and require a successful handshake to relinquish control to
the secondary controller.
