The circuit is made up of two stages: a front-end PFC using the L6563 and a flyback
converter based on the L6668. The electrical schematic is shown in Figure 2.
The flyback stage works as the master stage and therefore is dedicated to controlling circuit
operation, including standby and protection functions. Additionally, it switches the PFC stage
on and off the by means of a dedicated pin on the control IC, thus helping to achieve good
efficiency even at light load. The input EMI filter is a classic Pi-filter, 1-cell for differential and
common mode noise. An NTC in series with the PFC output capacitor limits the inrush
current produced by the charging of the capacitor at plug-in.
The purpose of the PFC stage is to reduce the harmonic content of the input current to be
within the limits imposed by European norm EN61000-3-2. Additionally, it provides a
regulated dc bus used by the downstream converter.
The PFC controller is the L6563 (U1), working in transition mode. It integrates all functions
needed to control the PFC as well as an interface to the master converter. Its power stage
topology is a conventional boost converter, connected to the output of the rectifier bridge. It
includes the coil L2, the diode D3, the capacitor C6 and the power switch Q2, a power
MOSFET.
The secondary winding of L2 (pins 8-3) provides the L6563 with information about the core
demagnetization of the PFC coil, needed by the controller for TM (transition mode)
operation. The divider R7, R12 and R18 provides the L6563 with the instantaneous input
voltage information that is used to modulate the boost current, and to derive additional
information such as the average value of the ac line, which is used by the VFF (voltage feedforward) function. The divider R2, R6, R8, R9 is dedicated to sensing the output voltage and
feeds the information to the error amplifier, while the divider R3, R5, R11, R19, directly
connected to the output voltage, is dedicated to protecting the circuit in case of voltage loop
failure. To maximize overall efficiency, the PFC makes use of the so-called "tracking boost
option" (TBO). With this function implemented the dc output voltage of the PFC changes
proportionally with the mains voltage. The L6563 achieves this functionality by adding a
resistor (R30) connected to the dedicated TBO pin (#6).
The PFC is switched on and off by a switch (Q1) on the VCC pin of the L6563, which is
activated by the PFC-STOP pin of the L6668. The PFC-STOP pin is intended to stop the
PFC controller at light load by cutting its supply. This happens when the COMP pin on the
L6668 controller goes below 2.2V.
The downstream converter, acting as the master stage, is managed by the L6668 IC (U2), a
current mode controller. The 65 kHz nominal switching frequency has been chosen to
4/33

Main characteristics and circuit description
achieve a compromise between the transformer size and the harmonics of the switching
frequency, thereby optimizing the input filter size and the total solution cost. The power
MOSFET is a standard, inexpensive 800 V component housed in a TO-220FP package,
requiring a small heat sink. The transformer is the layer type, using the standard ferrite core
EER35. The transformer is manufactured by TDK and designed in accordance with
EN60950. The reflected voltage is ~130 V, providing sufficient room for the leakage
inductance voltage spike while maintaining a margin for the reliability of the power MOSFET.
The rectifier D8 and the Transil D4 clamp the peak of the leakage inductance voltage spike
at turn-off of the power MOSFET.
The controller L6668 offers maximum flexibility by integrating all the functionality needed for
high performance SMPS control with a minimum component count. A new feature
embedded in the device is a high voltage current source used at start-up which draws
current directly from the dc bus and charges capacitor C33. After the voltage on C33 has
reached the L6668 turn-on threshold and the circuit starts to operate, the controller is
powered by the transformer via the auxiliary winding and diode D11. After start-up, the HV
current source is deactivated, saving power during normal operation and allowing very good
circuit efficiency during standby.
The L6668 utilizes a Current Mode control system, so the current flowing through the
primary winding is sensed by R52 and R53 and is then fed into pin #12 (ISEN). Resistor
R41 connected between pin #12 (ISEN) and pin #15 (S_COMP) provides the correct slope
compensation to the current signal, necessary for correct loop stability in CCM mode at duty
cycles greater than 50%. The circuit connected to pin #7 (DIS) provides over-voltage
protection in case of feedback network failure, while the thermistor R58 provides for a
thermal protection of the power MOSFET (Q5). This pin is also connected to the
PWM_LATCH pin of the L6563 which is dedicated to stopping activity of the flyback
converter in case of PFC loop failure that could be damaging to the circuit. To definitively
latch this state, the internal circuitry of the L6668 monitors the VCC and periodically
reactivates the HV current source to supply the IC. After OVP detection and L6668 Disable
intervention, circuit operation can be resumed only after disconnection of the mains plug.
The switching frequency is programmed by the RC connected to pin #16 (RCT) and in case
of reduced load operation the controller can decrease the operating frequency via pin #13
(STBY) and resistor R42, proportionate with the load consumption. The resistor divider R60
and R61 connected to pin #9 (SKIPADJ) allows setting of the initial L6668 threshold to Burst
Mode functionality when the power supply is lightly loaded. Additional functions embedded
in the L6668 are the programmable soft-start and a 5 V reference, available externally.
Circuit regulation is achieved by modulating the voltage on the COMP pin (#10), by means
of the optocoupler U3. Also connected to the COMP pin is the Q6, Q8, R44, R62, C42 and
D13 network, which is dedicated to driving ISEN over its hiccup mode threshold in case of
overload or short condition. In this case the device will be shut down and its consumption
will decrease almost to pre-start-up level. The device will resume operation as soon as the
VCC voltage has dropped below the VCC restart level. Thus a reliable hiccup mode is
invoked until the short is removed. A short on-time and long off-time of the hiccup mode are
obtained allowing the average current flowing in the secondary side components to be kept
at a safe level, avoiding consequent catastrophic failures due to their overheating.
Output regulation is done by means of two loops, a voltage and a current loop working
alternately. A dedicated control IC, the TSM1014, has been used. It integrates two
operational amplifiers and a precise voltage reference. The output signal of the error
amplifiers drives optocoupler SFH617A-4 to transfer the information to the primary side and
achieve the required insulation of the secondary side. The output rectifier D7 is a dual
common-cathode Schottky diode. The output rectifier has been selected according to the

calculated maximum reverse voltage, forward voltage drop and power dissipation. The
snubber, made up of R14, R66 and C8, damps the oscillation produced by the diode D7. A
small LC filter has been added on the output in order to filter the high frequency ripple.

To achieve optimal efficiency the PFC stage implements the tracking boost function. It
consists of a PFC output voltage that follows the input voltage. Typically, in traditional PFC
stages, the dc output voltage is regulated at a fixed value (typically 400 volts) but in some
applications, such as this one using a flyback as the downstream converter, it could be
advantageous to regulate the PFC output voltage with the tracking boost or "follower boost"
approach. In this way the circuit with the TBO function provides improved efficiency and,
thanks to the lower differential voltage across the boost inductor, the value of L2 can be
reduced as compared to the same circuit without the TBO function. In the present case a
400 µH inductor has been used, while with a fixed output voltage PFC working at a similar
operating frequency, a 700 µH inductor is required.
To achieve the TBO function on the L6563, a dedicated input of the multiplier is available on
TBO pin #6. This function can be implemented by simply connecting a resistor (RT) between
the TBO pin and ground.

The TBO pin presents a dc level equal to the peak of the MULT pin voltage and is then
representative of the mains RMS voltage. The resistor defines the current, equal to
V(TBO)/RT, which is internally mirrored 1:1 and sunk from the INV pin (pin 1) input of the
error amplifier. In this way, when the mains voltage increases, the voltage at the TBO pin will
increase as well, and so will the current flowing through the resistor connected between
TBO and GND. A larger current will then be sunk by the INV pin and the output voltage of
the PFC pre-regulator will be forced higher. Obviously, the output voltage will move in the
opposite direction if the input voltage decreases.
To avoid an unwanted rise in output voltage should the mains voltage exceed the maximum
specified value, the voltage at the TBO pin is clamped at 3 V. By properly selecting the
multiplier bias it is possible to set the maximum input voltage above which input-to-output
tracking ends and the output voltage becomes constant. If this function is not used, the pin
should be left open; the device will regulate at a fixed output voltage.

In Figure 5 we can see that the PFC output voltage variation vs. the ac input voltage (i.e. the
input voltage for the flyback stage) is dependent on the input mains voltage, but its range is
narrower than a wide range input. Thus the design of the flyback converter is not completely
optimized as with a standard PFC delivering a stable 400 V output, but its design is much
simpler than that of a wide range flyback. Additionally, the PFC converter using the TBO,
with its lower differential voltage across the inductor and lower current ripple, will have lower
RMS current and therefore better efficiency at low mains, where normally the efficiency of
typical PFCs is lower. The result is a global efficiency of the circuit that will be higher than
that of a fixed output voltage one circuit, especially at lower mains. Most of the power
dissipation will not be concentrated on the PFC only but will be shared with the flyback.
Therefore, there will not be thermal hotspots and the reliability of the circuit will be improved.
This is confirmed in the diagram in Figure 6, where the efficiency of the PFC has been
measured both with the active TBO function and without it. As shown, at low input mains the
circuit has an efficiency improvement better than 2 percent. As the input mains voltage
increases the switching losses become more significant and the fixed output voltage PFC
appears more efficient.

Harmonic content measurement
One of the main purposes of a PFC pre-conditioner is to correct the input current distortion,
decreasing the harmonic contents below the limits of the relevant regulations. Therefore, the
board has been tested according to the European rule EN61000-3-2 Class-D and Japanese
rule JEIDA-MITI Class-D, at full load and 50% of output rated load, at both nominal input
mains voltages.
As demonstrated in the illustrations below, the circuit is capable of reducing the harmonics
well below the limits of both regulations from full load down to light load. Because the
maximum input power of the board is close to the limit of 75 W, to demonstrate the correct
behavior of the circuit it has been tested also a 37 W (half load). Of course, no current
regulation requires meeting any limit at these power levels.

On the bottom side of each diagram the total harmonic distortion and power factor have

Figure 15 and Figure 16 display some waveforms of the flyback stage during steady-state
operation of the circuit at full load and nominal input voltage ranges. Under full load
conditions the L6668 switching frequency has been set to 65 kHz in order to achieve good
efficiency and to limit the switching noise.
It's possible to note that the CH3 relevant to the output voltage of the PFC circuit shows the
tracking boost function setting at a different PFC output voltage (247 / 348 volts), which is
dependent on the mains input voltage as mentioned on the previous page.

In Figure 18 and Figure 19, some no-load waveforms of the circuit are shown. As illustrated,
the L6668 works in burst mode to achieve optimal efficiency. The burst mode threshold can
be adjusted by setting the divider connected to the SKIPADJ pin (#9). When the voltage at
the COMP pin falls 50 mV below the voltage on the SKIPADJ pin, the IC is shut down and
consumption is reduced. The chip is re-enabled as the voltage on the COMP pin exceeds
the voltage on the threshold set by pin 9 with its hysteresis. Additionally, in order to achieve
the best efficiency during light load operation the PFC stage is turned off. In fact, the L6668
pin #14 (PFC_STOP) is dedicated to enabling or disabling PFC operation according to the

output load level. This pin is intended to drive the base of a PNP transistor in systems
including a PFC pre-regulator, to stop the PFC controller at light load by cutting its supply.
Pin #14 (PFC_STOP), while normally low, opens if the voltage on the COMP pin is lower
than 2.2 V, and returns low when the voltage on the COMP pin exceeds 2.7 V. Whenever the
IC is shut down, either latched (DIS > 2.2 V, ISEN > 1.5 V) or not latched (UVLO, SKIPADJ <
0.8), the pin is open as well. In Figure 19, the VCC value is also given, showing that the IC is
powered with a good margin with respect to the L6668 turn-off threshold (9.4 V), avoiding
any spurious turn-off possibilities that could affect the output voltage stability.
In Table 3, the power consumption from the mains during no-load operation is shown. As
can be observed, thanks to the L6668 standby functionality the input power constantly
remains well below 300 mW. Therefore, all mandatory or voluntary regulations currently
applicable or that will become effective in the near future can be respected using this
chipset.

In Figure 20 and Figure 21, the transitions from full load to no-load and vice-versa at
maximum input voltage have been checked. The maximum input voltage has been chosen
for the above illustrations because it is the most critical input voltage for transition. In fact, at
no-load, the burst pulses have a lower repetition frequency and the VCC could drop, causing
restart cycles of the controller. Additionally, there is a wider range variation for the input

voltage to the flyback converter as a result of the PFC turning on or off. As the figures show,
both transitions are clean and there is no output voltage, VCC dip or restarting attempt that
could affect proper power supply operation.
The input power consumption of the board has also been checked at light load conditions,
simulating an adapter powering a laptop PC during power-saving operation. The results are
shown in Table 4, 5 and 6 below, where the low load efficiency with standard inputs of 115 V
and 230 V is calculated.

As visible in Table 4, 5 and 6, the input power consumption is always very low and the
efficiency remains significantly high even at output power levels where the power supply
efficiency normally drops. This is achieved thanks to the burst mode adjustable threshold of
the L6668 SKIPADJ pin and the PFC management by the PFC_STOP pin, as previously
described.
3.3
Over current and short circuit protection
An important function of any power supply is its ability to survive instances of output
overload or short circuit, avoiding any consequent failure. Additionally, the power supply
must be compliant with safety rules which require that the components will not melt or burnout in fault conditions. It’s common to find circuits with good protection capability against
load shorts but which do not survive dead shorts such as those of an output electrolytic
capacitor or a secondary rectifier, or in cases of transformer saturation. Moreover, in cases
of a shorted rectifier the equivalent circuit changes and the energy are delivered even during
the ON time, as in forward mode. In this evaluation board the over-current is managed by
U5, a CC/CV controller. Inside the IC there is a reference and two Or-end operational
amplifiers, one dedicated to act as the error amplifier of the voltage loop and the other
dedicated to act as the error amplifier of the current loop. If the output current exceeds the
programmed value, the current loop error amplifier takes over and, via the optocoupler,
16/33
AN2521
Functional check
controls the voltage at the COMP pin of the L6668, thus regulating the output current. In
case of a dead short, the current cannot be limited effectively by U5 because it will be
unpowered. Therefore, additional, efficient protection circuitry on the primary side will be
needed. In this board the voltage at the ISEN pin of the L6668 is sensed and if it exceeds
the VISENdis threshold the controller is forced to work in hiccup mode. In this way the
controller stops operation and will remain in the OFF state until the voltage across the VCC
pin decreases to a level below the UVLO threshold. It will then attempt to restart, but without
success if the secondary short has not been removed. This provides a low frequency hiccup
working mode, limiting the current flowing on the secondary side and thus preventing the
power supply from overheating and failing.
Figure 22 shows the circuit behavior during short circuit. Observe that the L6668 stops
switching, the VCC voltage drops until it reaches the UVLO threshold. Then the IC
decreases its consumption, thus increasing the duration of the OFF time, and avoiding high
dissipation on the secondary side under short conditions. The soft start capacitor will also
be discharged. At this point, the HV start-up pin recharges the VCC capacitor and, as soon
the turn-on threshold is reached, the circuit attempts to restart but it will cease operation
within a few milliseconds, repeating the sequence just described. The restart attempt will be
repeated indefinitely until the short is removed.
Figure 23, instead, shows the sequence of operation in short circuit when the short is
removed. As the figure illustrates, a new start-up sequence takes place and the circuit
resumes normal operation after a soft-start cycle.

Thanks to the TSM1014 and the HV current source of the L6668, the fault protection
sequences described in Figure 22 and Figure 23 do not change significantly for any other
input voltage, above all not in the input voltage range of the board.
The protection described previously works correctly even in cases where the output short is
applied during standby or no load operations. The L6668 protects the circuit via the
sequences that has been described for the full load operation, and the circuit resumes

are captured during 230 Vac operation but they do not change significantly over the input

Overvoltage and open loop protection
The EVAL6668-75W board implements two different open loop protections: one for the PFC
and another for the flyback stage.
The PFC controller L6563 is equipped with an OVP, monitoring the current flowing through
the compensation network and entering the error amplifier (pin COMP, #2). When this
current reaches about 18 µA the output voltage of the multiplier is forced to decrease, thus
reducing the energy drawn from the mains. If the current exceeds 20 µA, the OVP is
triggered (dynamic OVP), and the external power transistor is switched off until the current
falls below approximately 5 µA. However, if the overvoltage persists (e.g. if the load is
completely disconnected), the error amplifier will eventually saturate low, triggering an
internal comparator (static OVP) which will keep the external power switch turned off until
the output voltage returns to a point near the regulated value.
The OVP function described above is capable of handling "normal" overvoltage conditions,
i.e. those resulting from an abrupt load/line change or occurring at start-up. It cannot handle
the overvoltage generated, for instance, when the upper resistor of the output divider fails
open. The voltage loop can no longer read the information on the output voltage and will
force the PFC pre-regulator to work at maximum ON time, causing the output voltage to rise
uncontrollably.
A pin on the L6563 (PFC_OK, #7) has been provided for additional monitoring of the output
voltage with a separate resistor divider (R3, R5, R11 high, R19 low, see Figure 1.and 2).
This divider is selected so that the voltage at the pin reaches 2.5 V if the output voltage
18/33
AN2521
Functional check
exceeds a preset value, usually larger than the maximum Vo that can be expected, including
also overshoots due to worst-case load/line transients.
In this case, VO = 400 V, Vox = 460 V. Select: R3 + R5 + R11 = 6.6 MΩ. Three resistors in
series have been chosen according to their voltage rating.
Thus: R19 = 6.6 MΩ · 2.5 / (460-2.5) = 36 kΩ.
When this function is triggered, the gate drive activity is immediately stopped, the device is
shut down, its quiescent consumption is reduced below 250 µA and the condition is latched
as long as the supply voltage of the IC is above the UVLO threshold. At the same time the
pin PWM_LATCH (pin #8) is asserted high. The PWM_LATCH is an open source output
capable of delivering 3.7 V minimum with a 0.5 mA load, intended for tripping a latched
shutdown function of the PWM controller IC in the cascaded dc-dc converter, so that the
entire unit is latched off. To restart the system it is necessary to recycle the input power, so
that the VCC voltages of both the L6563 and the PWM controller go below their respective
UVLO thresholds.
The PFC_OK pin doubles its function as a not-latched IC disable: a voltage below 0.2 V will
shut down the IC, reducing its consumption below 1 mA. In this case both PWM_STOP and
PWM_LATCH keep their high impedance status. To restart the IC simply let the voltage at
the pin go above 0.26 V.
Note that this function offers complete protection against not only feedback loop failures or
erroneous settings, but also against a failure of the protection itself. If a resistor in the
PFC_OK divider fails short or open, or the PFC_OK (#7) pin is floating, it will result in the
shutting down of the L6563 and stopping of controller operation of the flyback stage.
Figure 26. EVAL6668-75W Open loop at 115 Vac-60 Hz - full load
An open loop event is captured in Figure 26. Note the protection intervention stopping the
operation of the L6563 and the activation of the PWM_LATCH pin that is connected to the
L6668 pin #7 (DIS). This function of the L6668 is a latched device shutdown. Internally the
pin connects a comparator which shuts the IC down and brings its consumption to a value
just higher than before start-up, when the voltage on the pin exceeds 2.2 V. The information
is latched and it is necessary to recycle the input power to restart the IC. The latch is
removed as the voltage on the VCC pin goes below the UVLO threshold.
19/33

AN2521
The flyback stage is also protected against open loop conditions that lead to loss of control
of the output voltage. A divider connected to the auxiliary winding of the transformer is also
connected to the L6668 pin #7 (DIS) and, in case of excessively high output voltage
resulting from loop failure, provides for the triggering of the internal comparator connected to
that pin. In this case operation of the L6563 will cease because the L6668 will stop the PFC
stage operation via the PFC_STOP pin. The VCC powering both the ICs will be maintained
by the HV start-up generator of the L6668. To restart the operation, it will be necessary to
unplug and re-plug the mains, to unlatch the L6668.

Thermal protection
The EVAL6668-75W is also equipped with thermal protection of the flyback's power
MOSFET (Q5). Its temperature is sensed using the NTC thermistor R58 connected to the
L6668 pin #7 (DIS). If the temperature of the heat sink rises above the maximum allowed
level (80 - 85 °C), the threshold of the internal comparator will be exceeded and the L6668
latched as in the case of open loop. To restart the operation of the circuit, it will be
necessary to unplug and re-plug the mains.

Thermal map
In order to check the reliability of the design, thermal mapping has been performed using an
infrared camera. In Figure 27 and 28, the thermal measurements on the key components at
nominal input voltage are shown. The correlation between the measurement points and
components for both thermal maps is indicated in Table 7 below. The ambient temperature
during both measurements was 27 °C. All other components on the board work within the
temperature limits, ensuring reliable long-term operation of the power supply.

Class-B, which are most popular requirements for domestic equipment and imposes less
stringent limits compared to the Class-A, which is dedicated to IT technology equipment. As
visible in the diagrams, in all test conditions there is a good margin for the measurements
with respect to the limits.
