Introduction
This application note is an engineering report of Single End Cap T8 LED lamp reference design for High Line
input 18W 66V converter. The converter is using ICL8201 (SOT23-6-1), average current controlled, nonisolated single stage buck topology in cascade structure LED driver and IPS65R1K5CE (IPAK), a CE series of
high voltage power CoolMOS™. The distinguishing features of this reference design are high efficiency and
power factor with single stage design, critical conduction operation mode with single choke (without
auxiliary winding), truly regulated output current over a wide output voltage range, good EMI performance
and various modes of protections for high reliability with small form factor which can be easily fit into single
end cap of standard T8 LED lamp.

Single stage power factor correction
Single stage power factor correction (PFC) zero current detection bulk helps realising highly efficient, cost
effective and compact LED driver design. In this reference board, ICL8201 achieves the single stage power factor
correction by fixing on time over half AC sinusoidal cycle waveform.
As can be noted from below picture, the averaged input current is shaped to be approximately sinusoidal and thus
high power factor is achieved with input current harmonics fulfilling the requirements of EN 61000-3-2 standard.

Reference board set up, test waveforms and results
9.1
Input and output
The input of REF-ICL8201_T8 is Live (L) and Neutral (N) wires and its operating input AC voltage range is
170VAC ~277 VAC.
The output of REF-ICL8201_T8 is V+ and V- wires which can supply 66V, 270mA to the LED module.
Attention: As this is a non-isolated design, high voltage exists at the output! An isolated transformer is
advised to be used during evaluating of this reference board.
9.2
Start up
When the AC input voltage is applied to the reference board, VCC capacitor will be charged through external
LED module, Buck choke (T1), external power switch (Q1) and VCC diode (D4). Once the VCC voltage reaches
7.5V, the IC will start switching with a digital soft start and enter into normal operation.

Switching waveform
The current mode controller, ICL8201 uses zero current switching technique without zero crossing detection
winding but by sensing the drain pin voltage of the controller. This helps to simplify the structure of the buck
choke without auxiliary winding and improve both EMI and efficiency performance. Typical switching
waveform of ICL8201 is as shown below.
VDS_high_max30 minutes under conditions of
open frame board and 25°C Ambient temperature.

Bottom Side. U1=57.2°C; Q1=66.7°C (66V, 270mA LED load@Vin=230VAC/50Hz)
ICL8201 has Intelligent over temperature protection shown as below (Figure 17). It reduces the output
current in 7 digital steps down to 50% of target value of ILED in the event of overheating IC (Tj>150℃). If the
temperature continues to increase and exceeds Tj > 160 °C, the IC will enter LATCH OFF mode.
