HR1001L
Enhanced LLC Controller with
Adaptive Dead-Time Control
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The HR1001L is an enhanced LLC controller
that provides new, adaptive, dead-time
adjustment (ADTA) and capacitive mode
protection (CMP) features. The HR1001L is the
OCP latch-off version of the HR1001B.
ADTA inserts a dead time between the two
complimentary gate outputs automatically by
keeping the outputs off while sensing the dV/dt
current of the half-bridge switching node. ADTA
features an easier design, lower EMI, and
higher efficiency.
The HR1001L incorporates anti-capacitive
mode protection, which prevents potentially
destructive capacitive mode switching if the
output is shorted or has a severe overload.
This feature protects the MOSFET during
abnormal conditions, making the converter
robust.
The HR1001L has a programmable oscillator
that sets both the maximum and minimum
switching frequencies. It starts up at a
programmed maximum switching frequency
and decays until the control loop takes over to
prevent excessive inrush current.
The HR1001L enters controlled burst mode at
light loads to minimize the power consumption
and tighten output regulation.
Full protection features include two-level overcurrent
protection
(OCP),
external-latch
shutdown, brown-in/brown-out, capacitive mode
protection (CMP), and over-temperature
protection (OTP).

NOTES:
1) Exceeding these ratings may damage the device.
2) The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the
maximum junction temperature TJ (MAX), the junction-toambient thermal resistance θJA, and the ambient temperature
TA. The maximum allowable continuous power dissipation at
any ambient temperature is calculated by PD (MAX) = (TJ
(MAX)-TA)/θJA. Exceeding the maximum allowable power
dissipation produces an excessive die temperature, causing
the regulator to go into thermal shutdown. Internal thermal
shutdown circuitry protects the device from permanent
damage.
3) The device is not guaranteed to function outside of its
operating conditions.
4) Measured on a JESD51-7, 4-layer PCB.

Description
Soft start. Connect an external capacitor from SS to GND and a resistor to FSET to set the
maximum oscillator frequency and the time constant for the frequency shift during start-up.
An internal switch discharges the capacitor when the chip turns off (VCC < UVLO, BO <
1.81V or > 5.5V, LATCH > 1.85V, CS > 1.5V, TIMER > 2V, thermal shutdown) to guarantee
a soft start.
Period between over-current and shutdown. Connect a capacitor and a resistor from
TIMER to GND to set the maximum duration from an over-current condition before the IC
stops switching. Whenever the voltage on CS exceeds 0.78V, an internal 130µA current
source charges the capacitor. An external resistor discharges this capacitor slowly. If the
voltage on TIMER reaches 2V, the soft-start capacitor discharges completely, raising its
switching frequency to its maximum value. The 130µA current source remains on. When
the voltage exceeds 3.5V, the IC stops switching and latches. The internal current source
turns off, and the voltage decays. Two events are required for the IC to resume soft start:
1) the voltage on TIMER must drop below 0.28V; 2) VCC must drop below the UVLO
threshold and rise up to the VCC high threshold.
Time set. An internal current source programmed by an external network connected to
FSET charges and discharges a capacitor connected to GND. This determines the
converter’s switching frequency.
Switching frequency set. FSET provides a precise 2V reference. A resistor connected
from FSET to GND defines a current that sets the minimum oscillator frequency. Connect
the phototransistor of an optocoupler to FSET through a resistor to close the feedback loop
that modulates the oscillator frequency. This regulates the converter’s output voltage. The
value of this resistor sets the maximum operating frequency. An R-C series connected from
FSET to GND sets the frequency shift at start-up to prevent excessive inrush energy.
Burst mode operation threshold. BURST senses the voltage related to the feedback
control, which is compared to an internal reference (1.23V). When the voltage on BURST is
lower than this reference, the IC enters an idle state and reduces its quiescent current.
When the feedback drives BURST above 1.26V (30mV hysteresis), the chip resumes
switching. There is no soft start. The burst function enables burst mode operation when the
load falls below a programmed level that is determined by connecting an appropriate
resistor to the optocoupler to FSET (see the Block Diagram on page 12). Connect BURST
to FSET if burst mode is not used.
Current sense of the half-bridge. CS uses a sense resistor or a capacitive divider to
sense the primary-side current. CS has the following functions:
Over-current regulation: If the sensed voltage exceeds the 0.78V threshold, the softstart capacitor on SS discharges internally. The frequency increases, limiting the
power throughout. Under an output short circuit, this normally results in a nearconstant peak primary current. TIMER limits the duration of this condition.
Over-current protection (OCP): If the primary-side current continues to rise despite the
frequency increase, OCP enters latch mode when VCS > 1.5V. This requires cycling
the IC supply voltage to restart. The latch is removed once the voltage on VCC drops
below the UVLO threshold.
Capacitive mode protection (CMP): Once LG turns off, CS is compared to the VCSNR
capacitive mode protection (CMP) threshold. If VCS > VCSNR, the HG gate is blocked
from turning on until the slope is detected or the CMP timer is complete. When HG
turns off, CS is compared to the VCSPR CMP threshold. If Vcs < VCSPR, the low-side
gate is blocked from turning on until the slope is detected or the CMP timer is
complete. If a capacitive mode status is detected, SS is not discharged immediately;
there is a 1µs delay. After the blanking time delay, SS is discharged if the capacitive
mode fault remains. This prevents the influence of CS noise effectively. Connect CS
to GND if the CMP function is not used.

Description
Input voltage sense and brown-in/brown-out protection. If the voltage on BO is over
2.3V, the IC enables the gate driver. If the voltage on BO is below 1.81V, the IC is disabled.
IC latch off. When the voltage on LATCH exceeds 1.85V, the IC shuts down and lowers its
bias current to its pre-start-up level. LATCH is reset when the voltage on VCC is
discharged below its UVLO threshold. Connect LATCH to GND if the function is not used.
Half-bridge dV/dt sense. To detect the dV/dt of the half-bridge, a high-voltage capacitor is
connected between SW and HBVS. The dV/dt current through HVBS is used to adjust the
dead-time adaptively between the high-side gate and the low-side gate.
Ground. GND is the current return for both the low-side gate driver and the IC bias.
Connect all external ground connections with a trace to GND, one for signals and a second
for pulsed current return.
Low-side gate driver output. The driver is capable of a 0.8A of source/sink peak current
to drive the lower MOSFET of the half-bridge. LG is pulled to GND during UVLO.
Supply voltage. VCC supplies both the IC bias and the low-side gate driver. Use a small
bypass capacitor (e.g.: 0.1µF) to get a clean bias voltage for the IC signal.
High-voltage spacer. No internal connection. NC isolates the high-voltage pin and eases
compliance with safety regulations (creepage distance) on the PCB.
High-side switch source. SW is the current return for the high-side gate drive current. SW
requires careful layout to prevent large spikes below ground.
High-side floating gate driver output. HG is capable of a 0.8A source/sink peak current
to drive the upper MOSFET of the half-bridge. Connect an internal resistor to SW to ensure
that HG does not float during UVLO.
Bias for floating voltage supply of the high-side gate driver. Connect a bootstrap
capacitor between BST and SW. This capacitor is charged by an internal bootstrap diode
driven in phase with the low-side gate driver.

FSET sets the CT charging current, ISET (IS-1).
When CT passes its peak threshold (3.8V), the
filp-flop is set, and a discharging current source
of twice the charge current is enabled. The
difference between these two currents forces
the charging and discharging of CT to be equal.
When the voltage on the CT capacitor falls
below its valley threshold (0.9 V), the flip-flop is
reset and turns off the discharging current
source. This starts a new switching cycle.
Figure 3 shows the detailed waveform of the
oscillator.

TD
An R-C network connected to FSET
externally determines the normal switching
frequency and the soft start switching frequency.
Rfmin from FSET to GND contributes to the
maximum resistance of the external R-C
network when the phototransistor does not
conduct. This sets the FSET minimum source
current, which defines the minimum switching
frequency.
Under normal operation, the phototransistor
adjusts the current flow through Rfmax to
modulate the frequency for output voltage
regulation. When the phototransistor is
saturated, the current through Rfmax is at its
maximum, which sets the frequency at its
maximum.
An R-C in series connected between FSET and
GND shifts the frequency at start-up. Please
see the Soft-Start Operation section on page 14
for details.
Set the minimum and maximum frequencies
with Equation (1) and Equation (2):

Soft-Start (SS) Operation
For the resonant half-bridge converter, the
power delivered is inversely proportional to its
switching frequency. To ensure that the
converter starts or restarts with safe currents,
the soft start forces a high initial switching
frequency until the value is controlled by the
closed loop.
The soft start is achieved using an external R-C
series circuit (see Figure 4).

CSS
Figure 4: Soft-Start Block
When the IC starts up, the SS voltage is 0V,
and the soft-start resistor (RSS) is in parallel to
Rfmin. Rfmin and RSS determine the initial
frequency, which can be calculated with
Equation (5):
fstart
1
3 CT (Rfmin||R ss )
(5)
During start-up, CSS charges until its voltage
reaches the reference (2V) and the current
through RSS decays to zero. This period takes
about 5x(RSSxCSS) microseconds. During this
period, the switching frequency change follows
an exponential curve. Initially, the CSS charge
reduces the frequency relatively quickly, but the
rate decreases gradually.
Select an initial frequency (fstart) at least four
times fmin. When selecting CSS, there is a tradeoff between the desired soft-start operation and
the over-current protection (OCP) speed. See
the Over-Current Protection section on page 17
for details.
Adaptive Dead-Time Adjustment (ADTA)
When operating in inductive mode, the soft
switching of the power MOSFETs results in
high efficiency of the resonant converter. A
fixed dead time may result in hard switching at
light load, especially when the magnetizing
inductance (Lm) is too large. A dead time that is
too long may lead to loss of the ZVS state. The
current may change polarity during the dead
time, which can result in capacitive mode
switching. The adaptive dead-time control
adjusts the dead time automatically by
detecting the dV/dt of the half-bridge switching
node (SW).
The HR1001L incorporates an intelligent
adaptive dead-time adjustment (ADTA) logic
circuit, which detects the dV/dt of SW and
inserts a proper dead time automatically. For
the external circuit, connect a capacitor (5pF,
typically) between SW and HBVS to sense
dV/dt. Figure 5 shows the simplified block
diagram of ADTA. Figure 6 shows the operation
waveform of ADTA.

Figure 6: Operation Waveform of ADTA
When HG switches off, the SW voltage swings
from high to low due to the resonant tank
current (Ir). Accordingly, this negative dV/dt
pulls current from HBVS via CHBVS. If the dV/dt
current is higher than the internal comparison
current, the HBVS voltage (VHBVS) is pulled
down and clamped at zero. When SW stops
slewing and the differential current stops, VHBVS
begins ramping up. LG turns on after a delay
(minimum dead time). Dead time is defined as
the duration between HG turning off and LG
turning on.
When LG switches off, the SW voltage swings
from low to high, and a positive dV/dt current is
detected via CHBVS. The dead time between LG
turning off and HG turning on is maintained
automatically by sensing the dV/dt current.
To avoid damaging HBVS, CHBVS should be
selected with careful consideration. Keep the
dV/dt current below 65mA using Equation (8):
Figure 7 illustrates a possible dead time by
ADTA logic. Note that there are three kinds of
dead time: minimum dead time (DTMIN),
maximum dead time (DTMAX), and adjusted
dead time (DTADJ), which is between DTMIN and
DTMAX. ADTA logic sets DTMIN = 235ns. When
the SW transition time is smaller than DTMIN, the
logic does not let the gate turn on, which
prevents a shoot-through between the low-side
and high-side MOSFETs. A maximum dead
time (DTMAX = 1µs) forces the gate to turn on,
preventing duty cycle losses or soft switching.
ADTA adjusts the dead time automatically and
ensures zero-voltage switching (ZVS), which
enables more flexibility in the MOSFET and Lm
selection. ADTA also prevents hard switching if
the design does not account for light load or no
load carefully. At light load, the switching
frequency goes high, and the magnetizing
current goes low, risking hard switching that
can lead to a thermal or reliability issue.

If HBVS is not connected, the internal circuit
cannot detect the differential current from HBVS,
so the dead time remains fixed at 350ns.
Figure 8 and Figure 9 show the waveforms of
the dead time when HG turns off and when LG
turns off respectively. ADTA logic inserts the
dead time automatically according to the
transition shape of SW.
If HBVS is pulled down too low by the negative
current of CHBVS, the dead time from HG turning
off to LG turning on may be too long. To clamp
HBVS at zero and ensure an optimum dead
time, connect a Schottky diode (D1) (such as
BAT54) on HBVS to GND.

Capacitive Mode Protection (CMP)
When the resonant HB converter output is in
overload or short circuit condition, it may cause
the converter to run into a capacitive region. In
capacitive mode, the voltage applied to the
resonant tank causes the current of the
resonant tank to lag. Under this condition, the
body diode of one of the MOSFETs is
conducting. The other MOSFET should not be
turned on to avoid device failure. The functional
block diagram of capacitive mode protection
(CMP) is shown in Figure 10.
Figure 11 shows the operating current principle
of CMP. CSPOS and CSNEG stand for the
current polarity, which is generated by
comparing the voltage on CS with the internal
VCSNR and VCSPR voltage reference.
At t0, LG turns off. CSNEG is high, which
means the current is in the correct direction and
is operating in inductive mode.
At t1, HG turns off. CSPOS is high, which
means the current is in the correct direction and
is operating in inductive mode.

VSW
VLG
VHBVS
VHG
At t2, LG turns off for a second time. CSNEG is
low, indicating that the current is in the wrong
direction (the low-side MOSFET body diode is
conducting), and the converter is operating in
capacitive mode.
SW does not swing high until the current
returns to the correct polarity. DT stays high
and VOSC is stopped, preventing the other
MOSFET from turning on. This prevents
capacitive switching.
At t3, the current returns to the correct polarity,
and the other MOSFET turns on after the dV/dt
current is detected.
Between t2 and t5, the correct current polarity
cannot be detected, or there is so little current
that SW is unable to be pulled up or down.

Eventually, the timer (52µs) for CMP expires,
and the other MOSFET is forced to switch on
(see Figure 11).

Figure 12 shows the CMP behavior when the
output is shorted. The current polarity goes in
the wrong direction when LG switches off. The
CMP logic detects this capacitive mode
immediately and prevents HG from turning on.
This prevents destructive capacitive switching.
Once the current (Ir) returns to the correct
polarity, SW ramps up, dV/dt current is detected,
and HG turns on at the ZVS state.

Figure 11: Operating Principle of CMP
When capacitive mode operation is detected,
the VSS control signal goes high, turning on an
internal transistor to discharge CSS (after a 1µs
blanking delay). This causes the frequency to
increase to a very high level quickly to limit the
output power. The VSS control is reset, and the
soft start is activated when the first gate driver
is switched off after CMP. The switching
frequency decreases smoothly until the control
loop takes over.
The first level of protection occurs when the
voltage on CS (VCS) exceeds 0.78V. Once this
occurs, two actions take place. First, the
internal transistor connected between SS and
GND turns on for at least 10µs, which
discharges CSS. This creates a sharp increase
in the oscillator frequency, reducing the energy
transferred to the output. Second, an internal
130µA current source turns on to charge CTIMER,
ramping up the TIMER voltage. If VCS drops
below 0.78V before the voltage on TIMER
(VTIMER) reaches 2V, both the discharge of CSS
and the charge of CTIMER are stopped. The
converter resumes normal operation.
tOC is the time for VTIMER to rise from 0V to 2V. It
is a delay time for over-current regulation.
There is no simple relationship between tOC and
CTIMER. Select CTIMER based on experimental
results. Based on experiments, CTIMER may
increase the operating time by 100ms. If VCS is
still larger than 0.78V after VTIMER rises to 2V,
Css is discharged completely. Simultaneously,
the internal 130µA current source continues to
charge CTIMER until VTIMER reaches 3.5V, then
turns off all gate drivers and enters a latch-off
mode. The latch is reset when the voltage on
VCC is lower than the UVLO threshold.
Use Equation (11) to calculate the time it takes
for VTIMER to rise from 2V to 3.5V:

HR1001L – ENHANCED LLC CONTROLLER
The second level of protection is triggered when
VCS rises to 1.5V. Typically, this condition
occurs when VCS continues to rise during a
short circuit. The IC stops switching
immediately and latches off until the voltage on
VCC drops below the UVLO threshold.
The time sequence of OCP is shown in Figure
13. OCP limits the energy transferred from the
primary side to the secondary side during an
overload or short-circuit condition. Excessive
power consumption due to high continuous
currents can damage the secondary-side
windings and rectifiers. When OCP is triggered,
the converter enters a latched-off protection
mode.

In some conditions, especially when a large Lm

restriction of Equation (16). The R1 and C1
network is used to attenuate switching noise on
CS. The time constant should be in the range of
100ns.
An alternate solution uses a sense resistor in
series with the resonant tank (see Figure 15).
This method is simple, but causes unnecessary
power loss on the sense resistor.

HR1001L – ENHANCED LLC CONTROLLER
Input Voltage Sensing (BI/BO)
The HR1001L stops switching when the input
voltage drops below a specified value and
restarts when the input voltage returns to normal.
This function guarantees that the resonant halfbridge converter always operates within the
specified input-voltage range. The IC senses the
voltage on BO (VBO) through the tap of a resistor
divider connected to the rectified AC voltage or
the PFC output.
LG, only leaving the 2V reference voltage on
FSET and SS to retain the previous state and
minimize power consumption. When VBURST
exceeds 1.23V by over 30mV, the HR1001L
resumes normal operation.
Based on the burst mode operation principle,
BURST must be connected to the feedback loop.
Figure 17 shows a typical circuit connecting
BURST to the feedback signal for narrow input
voltage range applications.
Figure 16 shows the line-sensing internal block
diagram.

If VBO is higher than 2.3V, the IC provides the
gate driver outputs. The IC does not stop the
gate driver until VBO drops below 1.81V.
For a minimum operation input voltage of the
half-bridge (VIN-min), select a value for RH large
enough to reduce power loss at no load. Then RL
can be calculated with Equation (18):
RL RH
1.81
VIN-min 1.81
(18)
For additional protection, the IC shuts down
when VBO exceeds the internal 5.5V clamp
voltage. When VBO is between 2.3V and 5.5V, the
IC operates normally.
Burst Mode Operation
At light load or in the absence of a load, the
maximum frequency limits the resonant halfbridge switching frequency. To control the output
voltage and limit power consumption, the
HR1001L enables compatible converters to
operate in burst mode. This greatly reduces the
average switching frequency, reducing the
average residual magnetizing current and the
associated losses.
In addition to setting the oscillator maximum
frequency at start-up, Rfmax determines the
maximum
burst
mode
frequency.
After
determining fmax, calculate Rfmax with Equation
(19):
Rfmax
3 Rfmin
8 fmax

(19)
fmax corresponds to a load point (PBurst) where the
peak current flow through the transformer is too
low to cause audible noise.
The above burst mode introduction is based on a
narrow input voltage range. The input voltage
determines the switching frequency as well. This
means that PBurst has a large variance over the
wide input voltage range. To stabilize PBurst over
the input range, use the circuit in Figure 18 to
insert the input voltage signal into the feedback
loop.

RB1 and RB2 in Figure 18 correct against the wide
input voltage range. Select both resistors based
on experimental results. Note that the total
resistance of RB1 and RB2 should be much larger
than RH to minimize the effect on VBO. During
burst mode operation when the load is lower than
PBurst, the switching frequency is clamped at the
maximum frequency. The output voltage must
rise over the setting value to increase the current
flowing through the optocoupler. Therefore, the
voltage on Rfmax rises due to the increased
phototransistor current. Then VBURST drops below
1.23V, triggering the gate signal off state. The
current flows through the optocoupler decreases
until the output voltage falls below the setting
value, causing VBURST to rise. When VBURST
exceeds 1.23V by over 30mV, the IC restarts to
generate the gate signal. The IC operates in this
mode under no load or light load to decrease the
average power consumption.
Latch Operation
The HR1001L provides a simple latch-off function
through LATCH. Applying an external voltage
over 1.85V to HBVS causes the IC to enter a
latched shutdown. After the IC is latched, its
consumption drops. Resetting the IC requires
dropping the VCC voltage below the UVLO
threshold (see Figure 19).
