These sections describe the listed functions in detail.
3.1
Operating modes
The controller operates in voltage mode to optimize the power factor. It also autonomously selects the best
mode of operation based on operation conditions like input voltage and input frequency as well as load
conditions.
The supported modes are:
• Quasi-resonant mode (QRM)
This mode controls the on-time and maximizes the efficiency by switching on at the valleys of the ZCD
signal. This ensures zero-current switching with a minimum of switching losses.
Figure 5
Example of the switching waveform in the first valley
Burst mode for ICL8810 and ICL8820
Operation in burst mode to increase the efficiency in light load operation and to extend the power range for
wide range input voltage designs. Enables very low standby power.
At highest relative power, the controller operates in voltage mode with constant on-time in QRM, switching at
the first valley. The maximum on-time can be tuned using the ZCD series resistance to adjust the maximum
relative power.
In QRM, the operating frequency depends on the QR resonant frequency of the transformer and the MOSFET.
To reduce relative power, the controller reduces the on-time. At certain relative power levels, the controller
also starts increasing the valley to avoid high frequencies. The switching frequencies remain within a range of
typically 20 kHz to 150 kHz depending on component selection.
The on-time is compensated to ensure a constant relative power for the change of the valley.
The off-time of the controller is limited to TOff = 47 µs to ensure a minimum switching frequency outside the
audible range.
To achieve lowest relative output power, the ICL8810 and ICL8820 enter a burst mode with a repetition
frequency of approximately four times the AC input frequency.

with an QR oscillation period of 1.6 µs for a line frequency of 50 Hz for ICL8810 and
ICL8820
To avoid fast changes in the selected valley, for example multiple subsequent changes of the valley during one
AC half-wave, the IC uses a valley hysteresis. During each half-wave, the IC measures the required valley to fulfill
the power demand for a given AC input voltage and applies the minimum valley for the next half-wave. During
this half-wave, the IC adjusts the on-time to stay in the calculated valley. In this way, the number of valley jumps
is limited to a minimum.
In addition, if a load jump is detected, the valley number is adjusted immediately and set to the new minimum
value in the next AC half cycle. Since in some load and line conditions valley jumps are unavoidable, this IC uses
an asymmetric hysteresis to minimize the impact of a changed valley on the input current of the converter. If
the valley has to be corrected down, it happens immediately, but changing the valley up either happens on load
jumps or at the start of the next AC half-wave.

Feedback loop
The pulse generation is based upon the current drawn out of the VS pin. This method has shown better noise
immunity.
The VS-current is exponentially mapped from 200 μA to 600 μA over the entire pulse width range including burst
mode. In the range 20 μs to 1 μs, the mapping is relatively well exponential with a halving of the pulse duration
per 50 μA opto-current.

3 Functional description
To ensure proper operation of the feedback loop, a 12 kΩ resistor must be connected from the VS pin to ground.
The minimum current drown out of this pin (current through the opto coupler plus the current of the 12 kΩ
resistor) results in maximum power transfer, and the maximum current out of the VS pin results in loading to
the smallest operation point. To achieve the best THD and PF results, a low crossover frequency of a few Hz is
recommended.

3.2
Burst mode
Only valid for ICL8810 and ICL8820.
Burst mode extends the controller's power range for very low loads and enables very low standby power
consumption.
The IC wakes up at a fixed repetition frequency of approximately four times the input line frequency and
decides based on the VS signal, if pulses are necessary to keep the output in regulation range. The duty cycle of
each burst is determined by the filtered feedback from the external control loop. The IC uses the current flowing
out of the VS pin to provide feedback to the IC. This method tends to be less noise sensitive and leads to a very
small voltage change on the pin throughout the whole power range.
Figure 10
Relation of the feedback current to the duty cycle in the flyback CV topology
Based on the power requested by the VS pin, the IC is capable of skipping entire generations of bursts to keep
the output in tight regulation range. The missing pulses can lead to a drop of the Vcc voltage. To prevent an IC
restart due to too low supply voltage, two mechanisms are implemented to overcome this issue:
•
In addition to the burst mode wake-up according to the control loop, a higher priority VCC wake-up
threshold may trigger a burst start if VCC drops as low as VVCCwake. The controller continues with the burst
until VCC increases up to VVCCburst again.
• In parallel, the TD pin lowers its voltage to allow an external start-up circuit to charge the VCC cap until
VVCCburst is reached.
This burst mode control allows tight output regulation and reduces the standby power since no unnecessary
pulses are generated. In addition, it allows the use of a small VCC capacitor.
To save energy and lower the standby power consumption, the gate driver operates during burst mode with a
lower gate driver level of 7 V.

Input voltage detection and protection
The controller detects the AC or DC amplitude using an ADC between VBI and VVINOV. The averaged input voltage
level is used for power limitation and the brown-in and brownout. In addition, the Vin pin voltage is necessary to
enable the jitter function (ICL8820 only) for DC input. Theses conditions are checked before start-up and during
operation.
In addition, the VIN pin has an input OVP threshold of VVINOV and a short protection with a threshold of VVINshort
where the IC stops switching and waits until the operating conditions are met again. In case of VVINshort, the IC
enters a shorter restart cycle of 25 ms. This can be used to achieve lower standby power by actively disabling
the IC, but still providing a quick reaction to a turn-on signal.
The brownout and brown-in thresholds of VBO and VBI, respectively, ensure a proper operation at low input
voltages.

3.4
Zero crossing detection
To minimize switching losses, the controller initiates a new switching cycle when the current through the
transformer becomes zero during the off-time of the MOSFET. This time is approximated by detecting the
voltage change of the separate ZCD winding/auxiliary winding from positive to negative level, which represents
a voltage of zero at the inductor windings.
The first occurrence of this condition marks the end of the demagnetization of the flyback transformer and the
end of the current flow through the secondary side diode.
For medium to low power levels, the controller switches not at the first occurrence, but counts the number
of zero crossings until a desired valley is reached. Even if the valley is not measurable, the IC extrapolates the
ringing time to stay in the valley switching.
Figure 12
Windings of a flyback transformer
A threshold with hysteresis, VZCDUp for increasing level and VZCDLow for decreasing level, is used to detect the
change of the transformer voltage. A resistor connected between the auxiliary winding and the ZCD pin limits
the sink and source currents of the sense pin when the voltage of the auxiliary winding exceeds the internal
clamping levels Vpclp and Vnclp of the IC. When the sensed voltage level of the auxiliary winding is not sufficient
(e.g., during start-up), an internal start-up timer will initiate a new cycle every tRep after turn-off of the gate
driver.
The ZCD resistor can be used to change the maximum on-time of the controller to limit the power transfer by
the system. The maximum on-time for a ZCD peak to peak clamp current of 1.2 mA is 20 µs and scales linearly
with lower clamp currents as it can be seen in Figure 13.
A very tight limitation of the power by the on-time limits the ability of the system to quickly recover from large
load jumps. The adjustment of the TD resistor can mitigate the influence on the THD performance caused by
changing the maximum on-time.
For wide range designs, an inductor of around 600 μH and for narrow range designs 1000 μH is recommended to
utilize the full capabilities of this IC.

Power factor correction and THD correction
The gate driver GD is used for driving the power MOSFET in voltage mode by on-time control. Suppressing the
output ripple with the external feedback loop results in a quasi-constant on-time ton during the AC half-sine
wave. This already ensures a basic high power-factor and low THD performance.
In addition, the ZCD pin is used for a THD correction function that extends the pulse width of gate signal
according to the detected IZCD. This optimizes the input current waveform, especially in the area near AC voltage
zero crossing.
Figure 14 shows the THD correction principle. During low input voltage levels, the on-time of the MOSFET is
increased to minimize gaps in the line current during zero crossing of the line voltage and to improve the THD
of the input current. This THD correction set with the TD resistor. The voltage on the TD pin (2.15 V or a 68
kΩ resistor from TD to ground) is measured at the start-up and is internally multiplied with the measured IZCD
current. The result is handed over to the pulse generation block inside the IC to create the optimized waveform.
In rare cases (small transformer inductance and small capacitor output capacitance which results in a high
oscillation frequency), a lower value resistor down to 27 kΩ might result in a better THD performance.

Frequency jitter
Only valid for ICL8820.
A jitter function implemented into the IC for DC input voltage eases the design according to EN50172
(Emergency Lighting), which covers the requirements of the radio disturbance according to the EN55015 during
mains DC input voltage for emergency lighting.
A DC input voltage usually causes a flyback to operate at a single frequency resulting in the measured EMI
spectrum being very high. To avoid this, the IC starts varying the frequency of the gate signal, if a DC voltage
is detected at the VIN pin. This added jitter spreads the peak and reduces the EMI spectrum. This function is
implemented by an additional triangular pattern injected into the internal PWM generator with a frequency
of approximately 222 Hz while still adjusting the frequency to maintain the desired output voltage. This
manipulation of the internal control loop results in a 5 kHz to 10 kHz jitter of the run frequency dependent on
the load and line condition.

Start-up
As long as the voltage on the VCC pin is below the VCCon threshold, the controller consumes IVCCstart. As soon as
the VCCon threshold is reached, the controller senses the resistor at the TD pin and the input voltage at the VIN
pin.
After checking that the start conditions are within the limits (for example input voltage for brown-in, junction
temperature), the ICL88xx starts switching. The initial on-time is based on the sensed input voltage. In this
phase, the frequency is variable and the IC requires a current of ICC plus the gate driver current. The reduced
gate driver voltage VGDred feature enables reducing the VCC capacitor without compromising the time-to-light. In
the soft start, the on-time is increased every 280 μs up to a maximum on-time of tON_max. The control switches
to QRM as soon as a sufficient ZCD signal becomes available.
The start-up is considered successful as soon as the feedback current requires less power compared to the
internal start-up ramp. At the end of the start-up or after 15 ms at the latest, the gate driver level is increased to
the voltage level VGD for normal operation to achieve the best possible efficiency for the given power MOSFET.
External start-up cell control:
After the measurement of the TD resistance to ground, the pin remains on a high level. The voltage is dependent
on the used resistor. It can vary between 0.99 V and 2.33 V. The high level is maintained as long as the IC has a
sufficient VCC supply. For the ICL8800 the start-up circuit is only active at the initial start-up or during a restart of
the IC.
For ICL8810 and ICL8820: While in burst mode, the pin is reset to low when the VCC drops below VVCCwake and it
is set high again if VCC exceeds VVCCburst. The maximum capacitive loading of this pin is 1 nF.
To assure a proper functioning of the IC, a resistor of 12 kΩ has to be placed from VS pin to GND.

Power limitation
Based on the mean voltage detected at the VIN pin, the relative power transfer is limited as seen in Figure 17.
The power limitation is divided into three sections:
•
Voltage range between 0.4 V and 0.6 V: A steep limitation curve to avoid high currents and enable good
dynamic behavior above brownout threshold.
•
Voltage range between 0.6 V and 2 V: Nearly linear limitation of the output power dependent of Vac.
•
Voltage range above 2 V: An input over voltage triggers a restart of the system .
Figure 17
Exemplary representation of the power limitation versus input voltage
This limitation is implemented in the internal pulse generation block by limiting its output to a calculated
maximum value.
If an output undervoltage event occurs in the flyback topology, either the power limiting limits the delivered
power to the output, allowing large capacitors to be charged, or an insufficient VCC supply triggers a restart.
3.9
Overtemperature protection
ICL8800, ICL8810 and ICL8820 offers a temperature protection using an internal temperature sensor. This
feature protects the IC from too high temperatures. The protection starts at an internal temperature of T = 130
°C.

Overcurrent protection
The input overcurrent protection level 1 is performed by means of the cycle-by-cycle peak current limitation to
VOCP1. A leading edge blanking tLEB prevents the IC from falsely switching off the power MOSFET due to a leading
edge spike. If the measured current reaches the threshold of 0.6 V at the CS pin, the IC turns off the gate.
The input overcurrent protection level 2 is meant for covering fault conditions like a short in the transformer
primary winding or transformer core saturation. In this case, overcurrent protection level 1 does not limit
properly the peak current due to the very steep slope of the peak current. Once the threshold VOCP2 of 1.2 V at
the CS pin is reached within the time window of tOCP2, the protection is triggered.

Output overvoltage protection
The ICL88xx has additionally to the feedback loop a second output overvoltage protection. This protection
uses the ZCD clamp current during the demagnetization time to protect the output. The ZCD clamp current is
internally converted to a current out of the CS pin with the conversion ratio nZCDOVP. Depending on the CS series
resistance, the VOCP1 threshold triggers the protection.

Open loop protection
An open feedback loop results in maximum power transfer after the soft-start. The flyback secondary over
voltage protection is triggered once the over voltage threshold is exceeded for a longer time than the related
blanking time. This causes an auto-restart.
In the case of an open VS pin, due to the VS pin sourcing, a current of 1 µA out of the IC during normal operation,
the voltage at the VS pin rises. The VS pin voltage is compared to the over voltage comparator threshold
VVSOVOFF. If the voltage exceeds the threshold for longer than the related blanking time, the overvoltage
protection blocks any switching. A restart may occur if the VCC voltage drops below the undervoltage lockout
unit (UVLO) threshold.

VCC protections
An UVLO is implemented that ensures a defined enabling and disabling of the IC operation depending on the
supply voltage at the VCC pin. The UVLO contains a hysteresis with the voltage thresholds VVCCon for enabling the
IC and VVCCmin for disabling the IC. As soon as the mains input voltage is applied, current flows into the VCC pin.
The IC is enabled when VCC exceeds the threshold VVCCon and enters normal operation when no fault condition is
detected. In this phase, VCC drops until the self-supply via the auxiliary winding takes over the supply at the VCC
pin. For a proper start-up, the self-supply via auxiliary winding must be in place before VCC falls below VVCCmin
threshold.
If the voltage at the VCC pin reaches VVCCclamp during start-up, restart and in the burst pause, the IC is able to
sink up to IVCCclamp. Overvoltage detection at the VCC pin is implemented via a threshold of VVCCmax. The start-up
behaviour can be seen in Figure 16.
ICL8810 and ICL8820 only
To prevent an IC restart due to too low supply voltage, two mechanisms are implemented to overcome this
issue:
•
In addition to the burst mode wake-up according to the control loop, a higher priority VCC wake-up
threshold may trigger a burst start if VCC drops as low as VVCCwake. The controller continues with the burst
until VCC increases up to VVCCburst again.
•
In parallel, the TD pin lowers its voltage to enable an external start-up circuit to charge the VCC cap until
VVCCburst.
