CS1601 CS1601H Digital PFC Controller for Electronic Ballasts
Features & Description
Low PFC System Cost Best-in-class THD Digital EMI Noise Shaping Reduces Conducted EMI Adaptive Switching Frequency Control Minimizes Boost
Inductor Size
Overview
The CS1601 and CS1601H are digital power factor correction (PFC) controllers designed to deliver the lowest PFC system cost in electronic ballast applications. The controller operates in a variable frequency discontinuous conduction mode (VFDCM) with zero-current switching (ZCS) optimized to deliver best-in-class THD and minimize the size and cost of magnetic components. The CS1601 operates at switching frequencies up to 70 kHz while the CS1601H operates at frequencies extending to 100kHz. The VF-DCM control algorithm varies both duty cycle and frequency. This spreads the EMI frequency spectrum, thus reducing conducted EMI filtering requirements. In addition, the maximum switching frequency is reached at the peak of the AC input, which allows for use of a smaller, more cost-effective boost inductor. Th e fee dback loop is closed through an integrated compensation network within the controller, eliminating the need for additional external components. Protection features such as overvoltage, overcurrent, open and short-circuit protection, overtemperature, and brownout protect the system during abnormal transient conditions.

Figure 1. CS1601 Block Diagram
The CS1601 digital power factor correction (PFC) control IC is designed to deliver the lowest system cost by reducing the total number of system components and optimizing the EMI noise signature, which reduces the conducted EMI filter requirements. The CS1601 digital algorithm determines the behavior of the boost converter during startup, normal operation, and under fault conditions (overvoltage, overcurrent, and overtemperature). Figure 1 illustrates a high-level block diagram of the CS1601. The PFC processor logic regulates the power transfer by using an adaptive digital algorithm to optimize the PFC activeswitch (MOSFET) drive signal duty cycle and switching frequency. The adaptive controller uses independent analogto-digital converter (ADC) channels when sensing the feedback and feedforward analog signals required to implement the digital PFC control algorithm. The AC mains rectified voltage (on pin IAC) and PFC output link voltage (on pin IFB) are transformed by the PFC processor logic and used to generate the optimum PFC active-switch drive signal (GD) by calculating the optimal switching frequency and tON time on a cycle-by-cycle basis. An auxiliary winding is typically added to the PFC boost inductor to provide zero-current detection (ZCD) information. The ZCD acts as a demagnetization sensor used to monitor
the PFC active-switching behavior and efficiency. The auxiliary voltage is normalized using an external attenuator and is connected to the ZCD pin, providing the CS1601 a mechanism to detect the valley/zero crossings. The ZCD comparator looks for the zero crossing on the auxiliary winding and switches when the auxiliary voltage is below zero. Switching in the valley of the oscillation minimizes the switching losses and reduces EMI noise. The PFC controller uses a current sensor for overcurrent protection. The boost inductor peak current is measured across an external resistor in the switching circuit on a cycleby-cycle basis. An overcurrent fault is generated when the sense voltage applied to the CS pin exceeds a predefined reference voltage. The CS1601 includes a supervisor & protection circuit to manage startup, shutdown, and fault conditions. The protection circuit is designed to prevent output overvoltage as a result of load and AC mains transients. The PFC power converter main rectified voltage (Vrect) and output link voltage (Vlink) are monitored for overvoltage faults which would lead to shutdown of the PFC controller. The PFC overvoltage protection is designed for auto-recovery, i.e. operation resumes once the fault clears.

5. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The CS1601 offers numerous features, options, and functional capabilities to the electronic product lighting designer. This digital PFC control IC is designed to replace legacy analog PFC controllers with minimal design effort. Figure 13 illustrates how the operating frequency of CS1601H changes with output power and the peak of the line voltage.

5.1 PFC Operation
One key feature of the CS1601 is its operating frequency profile. Figure 11 illustrates how the frequency varies over half cycle of the line voltage in steady-state operation. When power is first applied to the CS1601, it examines the line voltage and adapts its operating frequency to the line voltage as shown in Figure 11. The operating frequency is varied from the peak to the trough of the AC input. During startup, the control algorithm generates maximum power while operating in critical conduction mode (CRM), providing an approximate square-wave current envelop within every half-line cycle.

The CS1601 is designed to function as a DCM controller. However, during peak periods, the controller may interchange control methods and operate in a quasi-critical-conduction mode (quasi-CRM) at low line. For example, at 108VAC main input under full load, the PFC controller will function as a quasi-CRM controller at the peak of the AC line cycle, as shown in Figure 14.

Figure 14. DCM and quasi-CRM Operation with CS1601 The zero-current detection (ZCD) of the boost inductor is achieved using an auxiliary winding. When the stored energy of the inductor is fully released to the output, the voltage on the ZCD pin decreases, triggering a new switching cycle. This quasi-resonant switching allows the active switch to be turned on with near-zero inductor current, resulting in a nearly lossless switch event. This minimizes turn-on losses and EMI noise created by the switching cycle. Power factor correction control is achieved during light load by using on-time modulation.

5.2 Startup vs. Normal Operation Mode
The CS1601 has two discrete operation modes: startup and normal. Startup mode will be activated when Vlink is less than 90% of nominal value, VO(startup) and remains active until Vlink reaches 100% of nominal value, as shown in Figure 15. Startup mode is activated during initial system power-up. Any Vlink drop to less than VO(startup), such as a load change, can cause the system to enter startup mode until Vlink is brought back into regulation.

5.5 PFC Output Capacitor
The value of the PFC output capacitor should be chosen based upon voltage ripple and hold-up requirements. To ensure system stability with the digital controller, the recommended value of the capacitor is within the range of 0.25 F/watt to 0.5 F/watt with a Vlink voltage of 460V. For optimal performance, resistors RIAC & RIFB should use 1% tolerance or better resistors for best Vlink voltage accuracy.
5.7 Valley Switching
The zero-current detection (ZCD) pin is monitored for demagnetization in the auxiliary winding of the boost inductor (L B ). The ZCD circuit is designed to detect the V Aux valley/zero crossings by sensing the voltage transformed onto the auxiliary winding of LB.

5.6 Output IFB Sense & Input IAC Sense
A current proportional to the PFC output voltage, V link, is supplied to the IC on pin IFB and is used as a feedback control signal. This current is compared against an internal fixedvalue reference current. The ADC is used to measure the magnitude of the IIFB current through resistor RIFB. The magnitude of the IIFB current is then compared to an internal reference current of (Iref) 129 A.

Figure 20. ZCD Input Pin Model The objective of zero-voltage switching is to initiate each MOSFET switching cycle when its drain-source voltage is at the lowest possible voltage potential, thus reducing switching losses. CS1601 uses an auxiliary winding on the PFC boost inductor to implement zero-voltage switching.

Zero-voltage Switch During each switching cycle, when the boost diode current reaches zero, the boost MOSFET drain-source voltage begins oscillating at the resonant frequency of the boost inductor and MOSFET parasitic output capacitance. The ZCD_below_zero signal transitions from high to low just prior to a local minimum of the MOSFET drain-source voltage oscillation. The zerocrossing detect circuit ensures that a ZCD_below_zero pulse will only be generated when the comparator output is continuously high for a nominal time period (tZCB) of 200ns. Therefore, any negative edges on the comparator's output due to spurious glitches will not cause a pulse to be generated. Due to the CS1601's variable-frequency control, the MOSFET switching cycle will not always be initiated at the first resonant

5.9 Overvoltage Protection
The overvoltage protection (OVP) will trigger immediately and stop the gate drive when the current into the IFB pin (IOVP) exceeds 105% of the reference current (Iref) value. The IC resumes gate drive switching when the measured current at IFB drops below IOVP – IOVP(Hy). Equation 8 is used to calculate the OVP threshold (VOVP). V OVP = R IFB I OVP + V DD [Eq.8]
5.8 Brownout Protection
The CS1601 brownout detection circuit monitors the peak of the Vrect input voltage and disables the PWM switching when it drops below a pre-determined threshold. Hysteresis and minimum detection time are provided to avoid brownout detection during short input transients. When brownout is detected, the CS1601 enters standby mode. On recovery from brownout, it re-enters normal operating mode. Current IAC is proportional to the AC input voltage Vrect , where Vrect = RIAC xIAC and RIAC = R1+R2 in Figure 19 on page 11. The digitized current applied to the IAC pin is monitored by the brownout protection algorithm. When Vrect drops below the brownout detection threshold, the CS1601 triggers a timer. The IC asserts the brownout protection and stops the gatedrive switching only if the timer exceeds 56ms. This is the equivalent of 7 rectified line cycles at 60Hz. During the brownout state, the device continues monitoring the input line voltage. The device exits the brownout state when IAC exceeds the brownout upper threshold for at least 56ms. Typical values for the lower (IBP(lower) ) and upper (IBP(upper) ) brownout thresholds are 31.6 A and 39.6 A, respectively.
5.10
Overcurrent Protection
To limit boost inductor current through the FET and to prevent boost inductor saturation conditions, the CS1601 incorporates a cycle-by-cycle peak inductor current limit circuit using an external shunt resistor to ‘sense’ the FET source current accurately. The overcurrent protection (OCP) circuit is designed to monitor the current when the active switch is turned on. The OCP circuit is enabled after the leading-edge blanking time (tLEB). The shunt voltage is compared to a reference voltage, V c s ( t h ) , to determine whether an overcurrent condition exists. The OCP circuit triggers immediately, allowing the OCP algorithm to turn off the gate driver. The overcurrent protection circuit is also designed to monitor for a catastrophic overcurrent occurrence by sensing sudden and abnormal operating currents. A second OCP threshold, Vcs(clamp), determines whether a severe overcurrent condition exists. This immediately turns off the gate drive and the system enters a restart mode. The CS1601 inhibits all switching operations for approximately 1.6ms then attempts to restart normal operation.

DS931PP6
CS1601
5.11 Overpower Protection
The CS1601 incorporates an internal Overpower Protection (OPP) algorithm. This provides protection from overload conditions. This algorithm uses the condition that output power is a function of the boost inductor (Section 5.4). Under moderate overload, Vlink may droop up to 10% while maintaining rated power and PFC. Further increasing the load current causes Vlink to drop below the startup threshold (~360V). Below this threshold, the circuit changes its operating mode to startup with more power available to raise Vlink. As Vlink reaches its nominal value, startup mode is canceled and power is now limited to the rated value. If the overload is still present, this cycle will repeat. If a sustained overload, or a repeated cycle of overload events is detected for greater than 112 mS, the CS1601 shuts down for 2.5 seconds, then attempts to restart.
5.13 Internal Overtemperature Protection
An internal thermal sensor triggers a shutdown when the temperature exceeds 135°C (nominal) on the silicon. The sensor sends a signal to the core that supplies current to all internal digital logic, cutting off power from them. Once the temperature of the IC has dropped by 9°C (nominal), the sensor resets, allowing power to the logic.
5.14
Standby (STBY) Function
The standby (STBY) pin provides a means by which an external signal can cause the CS1601 to enter a nonoperating, low-power state. The STBY input is intended to be driven by an open-collector/open-drain device. Internal to the pin, there is a pull-up resistor connected to the VDD pin as shown in Figure 23. Since the pull-up resistor has a high impedance, the user may need to provide a filter capacitor (up to 1000pF) on this pin.

If the PFC output sense resistor, RIFB, fails (open or short to GND), the measured output voltage decreases at a slew rate of about 2 V/ s, which is determined by the ADC sampling rate. The IC stops the gate drive when the measured output voltage is lower than the measured line voltage. The IC resumes gate drive switching when the current into the IFB pin becomes larger than or equal to the current into the IAC pin and Vlink is greater than the peak of the line voltage (Vrect(pk)). The maximum response time of open/short loop protection for RIFB is about 150 s. If the PFC input sense resistor RIAC fails (open or short to GND), the current reference signal supplied to the IC on pin IAC falls to zero.
