LinkSwitch-II Functional Description
The LinkSwitch-II combines a high-voltage power MOSFET
switch with a power supply controller in one device. Similar to the
LinkSwitch-LP and TinySwitch-III it uses ON/OFF control to regulate
the output voltage. In addition, the switching frequency is modulated
to regulate the output current to provide a constant current
characteristic. The LinkSwitch-II controller consists of an oscillator,
feedback (sense and logic) circuit, 6 V regulator, over-temperature
protection, frequency jittering, current limit circuit, leading-edge
blanking, inductance correction circuitry, frequency control for
constant current regulation and ON/OFF state machine for CV control.
Inductance Correction Circuitry
If the primary magnetizing inductance is either too high or low the
converter will automatically compensate for this by adjusting the
oscillator frequency. Since this controller is designed to operate in
discontinuous-conduction mode the output power is directly
proportional to the set primary inductance and its tolerance can be
completely compensated with adjustments to the switching
frequency.
Constant Current (CC) Operation
As the output voltage and therefore the flyback voltage across the
bias winding increases, the FEEDBACK pin voltage increases. The
switching frequency is adjusted as the FEEDBACK pin voltage
increases to provide a constant output current regulation. The
constant current circuit and the inductance correction circuit are
designed to operate concurrently in the CC region.
Constant Voltage (CV) Operation
As the FEEDBACK pin approaches V
FBth
from the constant current
regulation mode, the power supply transitions into CV operation.
The switching frequency at this point is at its maximum value,
corresponding to the peak power point of the CC/CV characteristic.
The controller regulates the FEEDBACK pin voltage to remain at V
FBth
using an ON/OFF state-machine. The FEEDBACK pin voltage is
sampled 2.5
ms
after the turn-off of the high-voltage switch. At light
loads the current limit is also reduced to decrease the transformer
flux density.
Output Cable Compensation
This compensation provides a constant output voltage at the end of
the cable over the entire load range in CV mode. As the converter
load increases from no-load to the peak power point (transition point
between CV and CC) the voltage drop introduced across the output
cable is compensated by increasing the FEEDBACK pin reference
voltage. The controller determines the output load and therefore the
correct degree of compensation based on the output of the state
machine. Cable drop compensation for a 24 AWG (0.3
W)
cable is
selected with C
BP
= 1
mF
and for a 26 AWG (0.49
W)
cable with
C
PB
= 10
mF.
Auto-Restart and Open-Loop Protection
In the event of a fault condition such as an output short or an open
loop condition the LinkSwitch-II enters into an appropriate protection
mode as described below.
In the event the FEEDBACK pin voltage during the flyback period falls
below 0.7 V before the FEEDBACK pin sampling delay (~2.5
ms)
for a
duration in excess of ~450 ms (auto-restart on-time (t
AR-ON
) the
converter enters into auto-restart, wherein the power MOSFET is
disabled for 2 seconds (~18% auto-restart duty cycle). The auto-
restart alternately enables and disables the switching of the power
MOSFET until the fault condition is removed.
In addition to the conditions for auto-restart described above, if the
sensed FEEDBACK pin current during the forward period of the
conduction cycle (switch “on” time) falls below 120
mA,
the converter
annunciates this as an open-loop condition (top resistor in potential
divider is open or missing) and reduces the auto-restart time from
450 ms to approximately 6 clock cycles (90
ms),
whilst keeping the
disable period of 2 seconds.
Over-Temperature Protection
The thermal shutdown circuitry senses the die temperature. The
threshold is set at 142 °C typical with a 60 °C hysteresis. When the
die temperature rises above this threshold (142 °C) the power
MOSFET is disabled and remains disabled until the die temperature
falls by 60 °C, at which point the MOSFET is re-enabled.
Current Limit
The current limit circuit senses the current in the power MOSFET.
When this current exceeds the internal threshold (I
LIMIT
), the power
MOSFET is turned off for the remainder of that cycle. The leading
edge blanking circuit inhibits the current limit comparator for a short
time (t
LEB
) after the power MOSFET is turned on. This leading edge
blanking time has been set so that current spikes caused by
capacitance and rectifier reverse recovery time will not cause
premature termination of the MOSFET conduction. The LinkSwitch-II
also contains a “di/dt” correction feature to minimize CC variation across
the input line range.
6.0 V Regulator
The 6 V regulator charges the bypass capacitor connected to the
BYPASS pin to 6 V by drawing a current from the voltage on the
DRAIN, whenever the MOSFET is off. The BYPASS pin is the internal
supply voltage node. When the MOSFET is on, the device runs off of
the energy stored in the bypass capacitor. Extremely low power
consumption of the internal circuitry allows the LinkSwitch-II to
operate continuously from the current drawn from the DRAIN pin.
A bypass capacitor value of either 1
mF
or 10
mF
is sufficient for both
high frequency decoupling and energy storage.

Figure 5.
Energy Efficient USB Charger Power Supply (74% Average Efficiency, <30 mW No-load Input Power).
Circuit Description
This circuit shown in Figure 5 is configured as a primary-side
regulated flyback power supply utilizing the LNK613DG. With an
average efficiency of 74% and <30 mW no-load input power this
design easily exceeds the most stringent current energy efficiency
requirements.
Input Filter
AC input power is rectified by diodes D1 through D4. The rectified
DC is filtered by the bulk storage capacitors C1 and C2. Inductor L1,
C1 and C2 form a pi (π) filter, which attenuates conducted differential-
mode EMI noise. This configuration along with Power Integrations
transformer E-shield
™
technology allow this design to meet EMI
standard EN55022 class B with good margin without requiring a Y
capacitor, even with the output connected to safety earth ground.
Fusible resistor RF1 provides protection against catastrophic failure.
This should be suitably rated (typically a wire wound type) to
withstand the instantaneous dissipation while the input capacitors
charge when first connected to the AC line.
LNK 613 Primary
The LNK613DG device (U1) incorporates the power switching device,
oscillator, CC/CV control engine, startup, and protection functions.
The integrated 700 V MOSFET provides a large drain voltage margin
in universal input AC applications, increasing reliability and also
reducing the output diode voltage stress by allowing a greater
transformer turns ratio. The device is completely self-powered from
the BYPASS pin and decoupling capacitor C4. For the LNK61X
devices, the bypass capacitor value also selects the amount of output
cable voltage drop compensation. A 1
mF
value selects the standard
compensation. A 10
mF
value selects the enhanced compensation.
Table 2 shows the amount of compensation for each device and
bypass capacitor value. The LNK60x devices do not provide cable
drop compensation.
The optional bias supply formed by D6 and C5 provides the operating
current for U1 via resistor R4. This reduces the no-load consumption
from ~200 mW to <30 mW and also increases light load efficiency.
The rectified and filtered input voltage is applied to one side of the
primary winding of T1. The other side of the transformer’s primary
winding is driven by the integrated MOSFET in U1. The leakage
inductance drain voltage spike is limited by an RCD-R clamp
consisting of D5, R2, R3, and C3.
Output Rectification
The secondary of the transformer is rectified by D7, a 1 A, 40 V
Schottky barrier type for higher efficiency, and filtered by C7. If
lower efficiency is acceptable then this can be replaced with a
1 A PN junction diode for lower cost. In this application C7 was sized
to meet the required output voltage ripple specification without
requiring a post LC filter. To meet battery self discharge requirement
the pre-load resistor has been replaced with a series resistor and
Zener network (R8 and VR1). However in designs where this is not a
requirement a standard 1 kW resistor can be used.
Output Regulation
The LNK613 regulates the output using ON/OFF control in the
constant voltage (CV) regulation region of the output character-istic and
