Description
BCR601 is a linear LED controller IC regulating the LED current by means of an external driver transistor. BCR601
supports use of NPN bipolar transistors and NMOS MOSFETs to cover a wide LED current and power range.
BCR601 provides feedback to the primary side via an optocoupler to control the output voltage of the primary
side converter, e.g. a flyback. The control loop minimizes the voltage overhead and power dissipation of the
external driver transistor. The voltage overhead can be adjusted by external configuration according to
application needs.
BCR601 suppresses the voltage ripple of the power supply driving a constant LED current for better light quality.
The LED current is fully scalable by dimensioning an external current sense resistor.
The embedded hot plug protection allows plug in and plug out of the LED load during operation reducing LED
current overshoots and related LED life time degradations.
The adjustable overvoltage protection will provide feedback to the primary side by the optocoupler in case the
supply voltage exceeds the threshold.
The overtemperature protection will dim the LED current if the BCR601 junction temperature threshold is
exceeded. In this case the LED current will be reduced to 30% of the nominal current. Once the junction
temperature drops below the temperature hysteresis nominal LED current is resumed.
The BCR601 is a perfect fit for LED applications by combining small form factor with low cost. Through its higher
integration, BOM savings and ensuring long lifetime of LEDs, this controller has many advantages compared to
discrete solutions.

2.
External driver transistors
BCR601 is able to drive NPN transistors as well as NMOSFETs. NPN transistors can be used for LED
currents up to several hundred of mA while NMOSFETs are preferable for high LED currents. The smaller
current using BJTs is caused by the DC current gain value hFE value of the used BJT. E.g. a typical hFE of 75
limits the application to a maximum below 750 mA.
Supply voltage of BCR601
To drive higher output currents into an external NPN driver transistor it might be necessary to limit the
supply voltage of BCR601 significantly below 60 V to reduce power dissipation inside the IC. This can be
achieved either by adding a series resistor Rpred between supply voltage and VS pin of BCR601 or by
operating BCR601 by an auxiliary winding of the power supply providing a lower IC supply voltage as e.g.
8 V.
Dimming mechanism
For dimming of the LED current a DC voltage is applied to the MFIO input signal.
1.
Analog dimming: input voltage VMFIO at pin MFIO. Continuous dimming from 3% dimming level up to
100% is embedded into a 100% ceiling plateau and an hysteresis range to off. Static dimming to a fixed
value can be done via the resistor Rset.

VDROP versus VSENSE measurement
BCR601 incorporates two control loops:
1.
Fast LED current control loop
In a proper design, the converter output voltage ripple will drop across the external power transistor
(drain voltage VC/D) and “consumed” by the power transistor, so that the voltage across the LED string is
constant. The LED current is sensed by the current sense resistor Rsense. The fast LED current control loop
regulates the power transistor to keep the LED current constant. LED current is defined by the equation.
ILED = V sense /Rsense
VC/D needs to be set high enough to make sure that BCR601 can regulate the power transistor to conduct
a constant LED current. To enable adjustment of VC/D BCR601 has an integrated constant current sink
Idrop at pin VDROP. By the external resistor RDROP the collector/drain voltage VC/D with respect to Vdrop is
defined by the following equation.
V C/D = V drop + Idrop ⋅ RDROP
2.
If VC/D is chosen too low, LED current will drop because either NPN hFE will drop too low and BCR601 IDRV
reaches its maximum sourcing current, or NMOSFET drain to source resistance RDSon cannot be reduced
further more as VDRV of BCR601 reaches its upper limit . As a result the output voltage ripple will
modulate the LED current and flicker might become visible. If VC/D is chosen too high, power loss in the
external power transistor will be high, resulting in low power efficiency and increased effort in heat
dissipation of the power transistor.
Slow control loop for the primary side output voltage
In typical application, the primary side controller is integrated with active PFC function. The output
voltage contains an unavoidable ripple of 100 Hz (at 50 Hz grid) or 120 Hz (at 60 Hz grid). The crossover
frequency of the control loop must be much smaller than the ripple frequency, so that the ripple voltage
is not regulated and the power factor is not deteriorated. This is realized by the RC compensation
network (RPI, RDROP, CPI and CDROP) connected between OPTO pin and VDROP pin.

Figure 7
Maximum permitted effective output source current out of pin DRV into external driver

The maximum permitted effective driver source current shown in Figure 7 can be calculated by following

The equation considers the power dissipation caused by current consumption of the IC itself and the
optocoupler current. If driver current exceeds the calculated threshold the lower specified limit of the
overtemperature protection will be exceeded and OTP might be triggered.
TOTP,on, min
The lower spec limit of the overtemperature protection threshold should not be exceeded to
avoid triggering the OTP.
IOPTO
The maximum optocoupler sink current into pin OPTO when IC fully turns on the current sink.
Besides the spec limits of BCR601 the maximum current is also limited by the optocoupler
supply voltage and external pull-up resistor.
