NCL30000
Power Factor Corrected
Dimmable LED Driver
The NCL30000 is a switch mode power supply controller intended
for low to medium power single stage power factor (PF) corrected
LED Drivers. The device is designed to operate in critical conduction
mode (CrM) and is suitable for flyback as well as buck topologies.
Constant on time CrM operation is particularly suited for isolated
flyback LED applications as the control scheme is straightforward and
very high efficiency can be achieved even at low power levels. These
are important in LED lighting to comply with regulatory requirements
and meet overall system luminous efficacy requirements. In CrM, the
switching frequency will vary with line and load and switching losses
are low as recovery losses in the output rectifier are negligible since
the current goes to zero prior to reactivating the main MOSFET
switch.
The device features a programmable on time limiter, zero current
detect sense block, gate driver, trans-conductance error amplifier as
well as all PWM control circuitry and protection functions required to
implement a CrM switch mode power supply. Moreover, for high
efficiency, the device features low startup current enabling fast, low
loss charging of the V
CC
capacitor. The current sense protection
threshold has been set at 500 mV to minimize power dissipation in the
external sense resistor. To support the environmental operation range
of Solid State Lighting, the device is specified across a wide junction
temperature range of
−40C
to 125C.

Table 1. PIN FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
Pin

Name
MFP
Function
The multi-function pin is connected to the internal error amplifier. By pulling this pin below the V
uvp
threshold, the
controller is disabled. In addition, this pin also has an over voltage comparator which will disable the controller in the
event of a fault.
The COMP pin is the output of the internal error amplifier. A compensation network is connected between this pin
and ground to set the loop bandwidth. Normally this bandwidth is set at a low frequency (typically 10 Hz
−
20 Hz) to
achieve high power factor and low total harmonic distortion (THD).
The C
t
pin sources a regulated current to charge an external timing capacitor. The PWM circuit controls the power
switch on time by comparing the C
t
voltage to an internal voltage derived from V
Control
. The C
T
pin discharges the
external timing capacitor at the end of the on time cycle.
The CS input is used to sense the instantaneous switch current in the external MOSFET. This signal is filtered by an
internal leading edge blanking circuit.
The voltage of an auxiliary zero current detection winding is sensed at this pin. When the ZCD control block circuit
detects that the winding has been demagnetized, a control signal is sent to the gate drive block to turn on the
external MOSFET.
This is the analog ground for the device. All bypassing components should be connected to the GND pin with a short
trace length.
The high current capability of the totem pole gate drive (+0.5/−0.8 A) makes it suitable to effectively drive high gate
charge power MOSFETs. The driver stage provides both passive and active pull down circuits that force the output to
a voltage less than the turn-on threshold voltage of the power MOSFET when V
CC(on)
is not reached.
This pin is the positive supply of the controller. The circuit starts to operate when V
CC
exceeds V
CC(on)
, nominally
12 V and turns off when V
CC
goes below V
CC(off)
, typically 9.5 V. After startup, the operating range is 10.2 V up to
20 V.

NCL30000
Overview
Figure 2 illustrates how the NCL30000 is configured to
implement an isolated power factor corrected flyback
switch mode power supply. On the secondary side is the
NCS1002, a constant voltage, constant current controller
which senses the average LED current and the output
voltage and provides a feedback control signal to the
primary side through an opto-coupler interface. One of the
key benefits of active power factor correction is that it makes
the load appear like a linear resistance similar to an
incandescent bulb. High power factor requires generally
sinusoidal line current and minimal phase displacement
between the line current and voltage. The NCL30000
operates in a fixed on-time variable frequency mode where

the power switch is on for the same length of time over a half
cycle of input power. The current in the primary of the
transformer starts at zero each switching cycle and is directly
proportional to the applied voltage times the on-time.
Therefore with a fixed on-time, the current will follow the
applied voltage generating a current of the same shape. Just
as in a traditional boost PFC circuit, the control bandwidth
is low so that the on-time is constant throughout a single line
cycle. The feedback signal from the secondary side is used
to modify the average on-time so the current through the
LEDs is properly regulated regardless of forward voltage
variation of the LED string.
