FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION IN A PFC BOOST PRE-REGULATOR
The STIL is connected in parallel with the diode bridge and the inrush power resistor. During start up, the
two unidirectional ASD power switches of the STIL are open (Figure 3). The inrush current flows through
the diodes of the bridge and external inrush power resistor. When the PFC reaches steady state, the
auxiliary power supply coupled with the main transformer, supplies the energy required to feed the driver
of the two power switches of the STIL (Figure 4). In steady state, the two DC ground connected diodes of
the bridge rectifier and the two unidirectional switches of the STIL connected to DC+ rectify the AC line
current.

POWERFAIL FEATURE
When the STIL is used with a PFC boost converter, the inrush current circuit is active after an AC line drop-
out. In that configuration, since the AC line disappears, the PFC controller and the auxiliary power supply
of the STIL (Figure 8) turns OFF. The two switches of the STIL are open. The output bulk capacitor Cb is
discharging and it is providing the energy to the main converter. When the AC line recovers, the two
switches remain opened and recharging inrush current of the capacitor Cb is deviated and limited through
the resistor Ri. When the capacitor had finished charging, the PFC turns ON again and the two switches
of the STIL switch ON.
More details on the design and operation of the driver circuit of figure 5 can be found in the application
note
“AN1600 - STIL: Inrush Current Limitation Device for Off-Line Power Converter”.

LIGHTNING SURGE IMMUNITY (IEC61000-4-5)
During lightning surge transient voltage across the AC line, over current and over voltage stress are ap-
plied on all the components of the power supply. The STIL can sustain a maximum peak surge current up
to I
PEAK
(I
PEAK
= 500A for STIL04/STIL06 and I
PEAK
= 1000A for STIL08) as defined by the combine wave-
form generator (8/20µs waveform as shown in figures 5, 6 and 7).
Special recommendations for the lightning surge immunity:
1 - Check that the I
PEAK
in the STIL stays below the limit specified above.
2 - Check that no over voltages are applied on the STIL and the bridge diode.
3 - In order to reduce the dynamic current stress (dI
out
/dt) through the structure of the STIL, it is recom-
mended to connect a differential mode choke coil in front of the STIL and the bridge diode.
More details and design guidelines are provided in the application note “AN1600 - STIL: Inrush Current
Limitation Device for Off-Line Power Converter”.
