Description
The FL6961 is a general lighting power controller for
low- to high-power lumens applications requiring power
factor correction. It is designed for flyback or boost
converter operating in Boundary Mode.
The FL6961 provides a controlled on-time to regulate
the output DC voltage and achieves natural power factor
correction (PFC). The maximum on-time of the external
switch is programmable to ensure safe operation during
AC brownouts. An innovative multi-vector error amplifier
provides rapid transient response and precise output
voltage clamping. A built-in circuit disables the controller
if the output feedback loop is opened. The startup
current is lower than 20µA and the operating current is
less than 6mA. The supply voltage can be up to 25V,
maximizing application flexibility.

Description
Inverting Input of the Error Amplifier.
INV is connected to the converter output via a resistive
divider. This pin is also used for over-voltage clamping and open-loop feedback protection.
Output of the Error Amplifier.
To create a precise clamping protection, a compensation network
between this pin and GND is suggested.
Maximum On Time.
A resistor from MOT to GND is used to determine the maximum on-time of
the external power MOSFET. The maximum output power of the converter is a function of the
maximum on-time.
Current Sense.
Input to the over-current protection comparator. When the sensed voltage across
the sense resistor reaches the internal threshold (0.8V), the switch is turned off to activate cycle-
by-cycle current limiting.
Zero-Current Detection.
This pin is connected to an auxiliary winding via a resistor to detect the
zero crossing of the switch current. When the zero crossing is detected, a new switching cycle is
started. If it is connected to GND, the device is disabled.
Ground.
The power ground and signal ground. Placing a 0.1µF decoupling capacitor between
V
CC
and GND is recommended.
Driver Output.
Totem-pole driver output to drive the external power MOSFET. The clamped gate
output voltage is 16.5V.
Power Supply.
Driver and control circuit supply voltage.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses exceeding the absolute maximum ratings may damage the device. The device may not function or be
operable above the recommended operating conditions and stressing the parts to these levels is not recommended.
In addition, extended exposure to stresses above the recommended operating conditions may affect device reliability.
The absolute maximum ratings are stress ratings only. All voltage values, except differential voltage, are given with
respect to GND pin.
