The TPS92074 is a hybrid power factor controller
(PFC) optimized for driving LED lighting solutions that
do not require phase dimming compatibility. The
device monitors the converter rectified AC waveform
using an internal, low-power, digital controller. The
controller and DAC generate a synchronized
triangular reference to regulate the output current. By
allowing for some variation in the LED current over a
line cycle and maintaining a regulated overall average
current, high power factor solutions can be achieved.

Using a constant off-time control, the solution
achieves low component count, high efficiency and
inherently provides variation in the switching
frequency. This variation creates an emulated spread
spectrum effect easing the converters EMI signature
and allowing a smaller input filter.
The TPS92074 also includes standard features:
current limit, overvoltage protection, thermal shutdown, and VCC undervoltage lockout, all in packages
utilizing only 6 pins.

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more
susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.

Figure 6. Simplified TPS92074 Schematic
The TPS92074 controls the inductor current by controlling two features: (A) The peak inductor current, and (B)
The cycle off-time. The following items summarize the basics of the switch operation in this hysteretic controller.
• The main switch Q2 turns on and current ramps in the inductor.
• The Q2 current flows through the sense resistor R7. The R7 voltage is compared to a reference voltage at
ISNS. The Q2 on-time ends when the voltage on R7 is equal to a controlled reference voltage and the
inductor current has reached its set peak current level for that switching cycle.
• Q2 is turned off and a constant off-time timer begins. Voltage begins ramping on C8.
• The next cycle begins when the voltage on C8 reaches 1.2 V. This ends the constant off-time and discharges
C8.
• Capacitor C3 eliminates most of the ripple current seen in the LEDs.

SLUSBO7 – AUGUST 2013

Initial Start-Up
The TPS92074 is designed to achieve instant turn-on using an external linear regulator circuit. The start-up
sequence is internally controlled by a VCC under-voltage lockout (UVLO) circuit. Sufficient headroom has been
incorporated to support the use of an auxiliary winding with start-up linear, resistive or coupled capacitor start-up
methods.
VCC Bias Supply
The TPS92074 can be configured to use a linear regulator with or without the use of an auxiliary winding. Using
a linear regulator to provide VCC incurs more losses than an auxiliary winding, but has several advantages:
• allows the use of inexpensive off-the-shelf inductors as the main magnetic
• can reduce the size of the required VCC capacitor to as low as 0.1uF
Another consideration when selecting a bias method involves the OVP configuration. Because the feature is
enabled via the VCC pin, an auxiliary winding provides the simplest implementation of output over-voltage
protection.
A typical start-up sequence begins with VVCC input voltage below the UVLO threshold and the device operating in
low-power, shut-down mode. The VVCC input voltage increases to the UVLO threshold of 9.8V typical. At this
point all of the device features are enabled. The device loads the initial start-up value as the output reference
and switching begins. The device operates until the VVCC level falls below the VCC(UVLO) falling threshold. (6.4V
typical) When VVCC is below this threshold, the device enters low-power shut-down mode.
Voltage Sense Operation
The VSEN (voltage sense) pin is the only input to the digital controller. The time between the rising edge and the
falling edge of the signal determines converter functions. The pin incorporates internal analog and digital filtering
so that any transition that remains beyond the threshold for more than approximately 150 µs will cause the
device to record a change-of-state.

Controller
Basic Operation
The controller continuously monitors the line cycle period. Control algorithms use a normalized line period of 256
samples from VSEN fall to VSEN fall and a normalized converter reference control of 127 levels over a range of
0V to 1V .
The two main controller states are:
• Start-Up
• Normal Operation
After the initial start-up period where the reference is a DC level, the reference is changed to a triangular ramp to
achieve a high power factor. The ramp generates gradually over several cycles ensuring the change is
undetectable. The controller maintains the ramp between the rising and falling VSEN signals.

Line Synchronization
When the device reaches the turn-on UVLO threshold, the output current reference resets to 0.393 V (50/127)
and switching begins. The controller samples the line for approximately 80 ms (t1 to t2 , Figure 8) to determine
the line frequency and establish the present state of operation. After determining the line frequency, the controller
uses the information to calibrate the internal oscillator. The controller supports line frequencies from 45 Hz to 65
Hz. After determining frequency and duty cycle, the controller enters normal operation.

At start-up the ramp is created over 127 line cycles (see Figure 10) or approximately 1 second (t2 to t3 ≈ 1
second). Because the output level before and after the change is very similar and the change very gradual, it is
impossible for the user to perceive a change in output level. The ramp converts from a DC level to a ramp using
a method that further ensures transparency to the user.

Loss of Voltage Sense
If a circuit malfunction or failure occurs causing the VSEN singal to become too narrow or to be lost completely,
the controller simply sets the reference to a default value 0.33 V (42/127) and waits for the VSEN signal to
return.
Not Using Voltage Sense
A simplified version of the TPS92074 circuit can be implemented by grounding the VSEN signal if minimum
component count and size are essential design criteria. In this configuration, the triangular ramp reference is not
implemented. The output is controlled with a default, static reference of 0.394 V (50/127). If used in conjunction
with an on-time clamp and the appropriate LED stack voltage, power factors (> 0.9) can still be achieved, but
THD is higher without the ramp waveform.
Thermal Shutdown
The TPS92074 includes thermal shutdown protection. If the die temperature reaches approximately 160°C the
device stops switching (GATE pin low). When the die temperature cools to approximately 140°C, the device
resumes normal operation.
If thermal foldback is desired at levels below the device thermal shut down limit, application circuit design
features implement this protection. The most simple of these design features is the addition of a thermistor in the
off-time circuitry.
Thermal Foldback
To implement thermal foldback, adjust the resistance of an existing circuit resistor with the use of an NTC
(negative temperature coefficient) thermistor.

For example, a resistor combination creating a dominant effect when the thermistor reaches the desired
temperature and resistance can be incorporated by paralleling a thermistor and another resistor like R10 with the
suggested On-Time clamp (see Figure 12. ). This circuit option creates a shorter on-time as the temperature
increases, reducing the output current. The use of a thermistor (NTC or PTC) in these types of circuit
implementations is simple and saves costly added circuitry and additional device pins.
Overvoltage Protection (OVP)
The implementation of overvoltage protection is simple and built-in if using a two-coil magnetic (coupled inductor)
to derive VCC. If the LED string is opened the auxiliary VCC rises and reaches the VCC(OVP) trip point. This action
disables and grounds the gate pin, preventing the converter from switching. The converter remains disabled until
VCC drops 0.5 V after a 1 second time-out. If an inductor is used, implement other discrete circuits to disable the
converter.
Output Bulk Capacitor
The required output bulk capacitor, CBULK, stores energy during the input voltage zero crossing interval and limits
twice the line frequency ripple component flowing through the LEDs. Equation 1 describes the calculation of the
of output capacitor value.

Compute RLED as the difference in LED forward voltage divided by the difference in LED current for a given LED
using the manufacturer’s VF vs. IF curve. For an initial estimate, a typical value of 0.25 Ω per LED can be used.
More detail can be found in the Application Report Design Challenges of Switching LED Drivers (AN-1656).
In typical applications, the solution size becomes a limiting factor and dictates the maximum dimensions of the
bulk capacitor. When selecting an electrolytic capacitor, manufacturer recommended de-rating factors should be
applied based on the worst case capacitor ripple current, output voltage and operating temperature to achieve
the desired operating lifetime. It should also be a consideration to provide a minimum load at the output of the
driver to discharge the capacitor after the power is switched off or during LED open circuit failures.

Design Guidelines
This TPS92074 application design requires the selection of components for the power conversion stage and line
sensing. Output inductor, sense resistor and switching frequency are the key aspects of the power stage design.
Another important consideration is the inclusion of an on-time clamp. The combination of the line voltage going to
zero at each cycle and the hysteretic control method can lead to large increases in current draw at the start and
end of each cycle. The components required for the on-time clamp are very inexpensive and they return results
that make their inclusion a common choice for LED driver designers. This simplified design procedure assumes
the use of an on-time clamp in the design.

Figure 11. TPS92074 Output Current Control
The device uses the controller reference during every switching cycle. This controller reference sets the peak
current through the main switch and sense resistor. The average value of this reference and the inductor ripple
current can be used to calculate the average output current. Also consider the length of time the converter
provides power to the LEDs based on the LED stack voltage. A conversion factor (CF) that accounts for a lower
level of power conversion at the ends of each cycle is used to provide a more accurate sense resistor value. The
lower level of power conversion in these areas also helps to increase the power factor. For the RSENSE calculation
use VISNS (ave) = 0.433 V (55/127). The CF calculation involves computing the normalized time length of the
voltage sense pulse using a formula shown in Equation 3. See the simplified design expressions in Equation 2
through Equation 6. For a more comprehensive approach refer to the TPS92074 Design Spreadsheet.

General Approach to Buck and Buck-Boost PFC Design
To maintain a high power factor and low THD, create an input current waveform equivalent to what would be
seen in a purely resistive load. A resistive load (like an incandescent light bulb) can draw power until the line
zero cross. A buck converter driving an LED load can provide power only while the input line is greater than the
LED stack voltage. This situation creates a limitation in the selection of LED stack voltage. Currently in non-LED
load, buck PFC applications, a commonly accepted output voltage that maintains acceptable THD and PFC
levels is one that maintains a 50% conduction angle each line cycle. See the TI Application Report Power Factor
Correction Using the Buck Topology(SLUP264) In practical terms this equates to 90 VDC for a 90 VAC minimum
input. For LED driver solutions this rule can be followed if the goal is simply a power factor ≥0.9. If the goal is
also THD less than 20% then stricter requirements must be followed. In general, designs with an LED stack
voltage beyond 45 V have difficulty achieving < 20% THD. For these solutions, a buck-boost topology should be
used so that the circuit has the capability to draw current from the line below the LED stack voltage.
On-Time Clamp
The use of an on-time clamp ( see Figure 12) provides soft-start and soft-stop functionality to the conversion
during each line cycle. The clamp also allows an opportunity to control the energy in these conversion areas to
optimize THD. For example, reducing the energy conversion in these areas helps to create an input current that
is more sinusoidal in shape. Without it, the current can rise quickly at the start and end of each cycle as the
converter goes in and out of drop-out. Solutions having a power factor ≥0.9 are still achievable, but the design
must use the on-time clamp to obtain very low THD.

Figure 12. On-time Clamp Circuitry
The circuit uses the gate drive output to generate a ramp. The ramp increases at a rate to reach the current
sense trip point at the desired maximum conduction time. The gate signal, resistor R10 and capacitor C10 create
the ramp. Diode D5b resets the ramp for each switching cycle. Resistor R11 provides an impedance so this
signal can override ISNS.
In the regions at the start and end of a line cycle the current sense reference is controlled to 0.173 V (22/127).
To select an R-C to reach this point in the desired time use Equation 7. A good starting estimate for the
maximum on-time clamp is approximately one-half of tOFF . For example, choosing 33 nF as the value of
capacitor C10, and assuming VGATE ≈ VCC, R10 (Rton(max)) is calculated in Equation 7.

Voltage Sense Circuitry and Minimum VSEN Signal Length
If the design topology is a buck converter, select the divider so the falling 0.5-V VSEN threshold is reached when
the rectified AC voltage is at the LED stack voltage. For example, if the LED stack is 20 V and the top resistor is
400 kΩ, the bottom resistor should be 10.25 kΩ to provide a falling VSEN signal at 0.5 V when the rectified AC
reaches 20 V. A 20-V VSEN falling signal corresponds to a 40-V VSEN rising threshold because of the 2:1
hysteresis. These thresholds provide a VSEN signal length of approximately 7.4 ms. This length is adequate to
activate the ramp mode. Regardless of the VSEN connection method used, the divider must ensure an adequate
voltage sense time (tVSEN > 5.9 ms) to activate the creation of the triangular reference. For example, if a straight
resistor divider ( as shown in Figure 13) is implemented and the design LED stack is more than 42 V, the VSEN
conduction time may not be adequate to ensure use of the ramp reference by the controller.

Buck-Boost Applications
For LED stack voltages between 3 V and 65 V, use an alternate method that senses from LED(–). Because
LED(–) reaches ground each line cycle, the absolute VSEN comparison limits of 0.5 V and 1 V can be used,
providing extra conduction time for the VSEN signal as shown in Figure 14. When using an LED stack, with an
approximate voltage of more than 65-V, use an alternate VSEN methods such as a bridge tap. For buck-boost
applications, implement the circuit shown in Figure 15.
A capacitor on the VSEN pin may be required, depending on operating conditions.
EMI Filtering: AC versus DC side of the rectifier bridge
The TPS92074 requires a minimal amount of EMI filtering to pass conducted and radiated emissions levels to
comply with agency requirements. Applications have been tested with the filter on the AC or DC side of the diode
bridge and have obtained passing results. The use of an R-C snubber to damp filter resonances is strongly
recommended. The EMI filter design involves optimizing several factors and design considerations, including:
• the use of ‘X’ versus non-X rated filter capacitors
• the use of ceramic versus film capacitors
• component rating requirements when on the AC or DC side of the diode bridge
• snubber time constant and position in the design schematic
• filter design choices and audible noise
