HVLED001B
High power factor flyback controller with constant voltage
primary-sensing and ultra-low standby consumption
Datasheet - Production data
Description
The HVLED001B is an enhanced peak current
mode controller able to control mainly high power
factor (HPF) flyback or buck-boost. Some other
topologies such as buck, boost and SEPIC, can
also be implemented.
SSOP10
Primary side regulation and optocoupler control
can be applied independently on the chip, both
exploiting precise regulation and very low standby
power during no load conditions.
Features
Quasi resonant (QR) topology
Primary side regulation of output voltage
Direct optocoupler connection for current loop
regulation with feedback disconnection
detection
800 V high voltage startup
High power factor and low THD in universal
range
High efficiency and output stability in wide
voltage and current range
Extremely low standby power at no load
condition
The innovative ST high voltage technology allows
direct connection of the HVLED001B to the input
voltage in order to both start up the device and to
monitor the input voltage, without the need for
external components.
Abnormal conditions like open circuit, output
short-circuit, input over-voltage or under-voltage
and circuit failures like open loop and overcurrent
of the main switch are effectively controlled.
A smart Auto Recover Timer (ART) function is
built in to guarantee an automatic application
recovery, without any loss of reliability.

Description
HVSU
1
High voltage startup and input voltage detection.
The pin, able to withstand 800 V, is to be tied to the input voltage using a low value resistor (1 k
typ.). It embeds the internal start-up unit that charges the capacitor connected between the VCC pin
and GND pin during startup and low consumption.
During operational mode, the voltage at this pin is used to both measure the input voltage and
detect input over-voltages.
N.C.
2
Not connected pin.
TOFF
3
A blanking time, starting from first valley detection, can be set applying a voltage to this pin. This
variable blanking time is used to skip resonant valleys and, then, to fold back the operating
frequency. A null blanking time is obtained leaving the pin unconnected.
4
Output of the error amplifier of primary side regulation loop regulation.
The pin is intended to be connected to the compensation network for primary side regulation.
An upper threshold VOFP detects an overload.
Burst mode is also related to the voltage applied to this pin.
5
Input for optocoupler in secondary side control loop.
This pin is intended to be connected to the collector of the optocoupler.
The OPTO pin voltage is internally applied to an OR structure together with FB voltage to feed the
internal multiplier.
Low consumption mode is invoked pulling this pin lower than the VOPTO,dis threshold that features
as burst mode level when OPTO is in use.
ZCD
6
Multiple function pin able to detect the Zero Current instant, to sense the output voltage for the
primary side regulation and the input voltage for brownout detection. A negative-going edge triggers
the MOSFET's turn-on, while an internal starter unit is active to generate the triggering signal when
not externally available (e.g. startup).
CS
7
Input to the current sense comparator for the power regulation.
A second level overcurrent (OCP) threshold detects abnormal currents (e.g.: due to transformer's
saturation) and, on this occurrence, activates the second level overcurrent protection procedure.
GND

Description
Gate driver output.
The output stage is able to drive the power MOSFET's and IGBT's gate.
Supply voltage of the IC.
Internal UVLO logic prevents the operation at voltages that are insufficient for the efficient gate
driving or signal processing.
10
Both a bulk capacitor (typically around 22 μF) and a high frequency filter capacitor (100 nF ceramic,
mounted as close as possible to the device) are connected between this pin and GND.
An internal clamp structure prevents accidental low energy spikes damaging the device.

Operating modes
The HVLED001B QR flyback controller is able to operate either as a single-stage high
power factor (HPF) flyback controller or as a DC/DC flyback controller in dual-stage
topologies. It‘s enhanced features are mainly intended to simplify the design and the
management of constant current applications (LED drivers).
Application schematics of the two main topologies are reported in Figure 17 and Figure 18.

The HVLED001B has five main operating modes: Start-up mode, Ramp-up mode, Active
mode, Stop mode and Low consumption mode.
18/33
DS12748 Rev 2
HVLED001B
7.1.1
Application information
Start-up mode
This state is entered to begin the switching activity (during application's turn-on or exiting
from the low consumption state). The HVSU is involved in the mechanism of VCC charging;
all other peripherals, except the UVLO and logic supply, are turned off to minimize the startup time.
Start-up mode ends when the OPTO and FB pins are within respective range of operations
and VCC is higher than VCC,on threshold.
When the device is turned on for the first time or, in other words, when VCC crosses
upwards of the VCC,shd threshold, start-up mode invokes ramp-up mode.
When start-up mode is entered after a low consumption mode, start-up mode invokes active
mode.

Application information
7.1.2
HVLED001B
Ramp-up mode
This is a particular operational mode, identical to active mode, where timed protections
(Brownout and Over Power Protection - see relevant graphs) are ignored. This mode ends
after a fixed period (Tss) since the first crossing upwards of VCC voltage. After Tss, the IC
enters active mode.
7.1.3
Active mode
This is the normal operational mode. During this state the external MOSFET is driven
according to signals coming from the application in order to regulate the desired output
parameter in closed loop (peak current control method).
Active mode is exited when abnormal conditions are present or VCC drops below the
VCC,su threshold. The HVSU is inactive during active mode.
7.1.4
Low consumption mode
This state is intended to stop the switching activity reducing the power consumption to a
minimum level.
During this state the VCC is kept between VCC,su and VCC,on by the high voltage startup
unit (HVSU) delivering Icharge to the output capacitor.
7.1.5
Stop mode
This state is intended to stop the switching activity without turning off the entire function set,
to quickly restart when abnormal or disabling conditions end. During this state the power
consumption is not minimized and the HVSU is not enabled. In case the OPTO pin drops
below the disabling threshold or VCC voltage drops below the VCC,su voltage and the IC
state evolves into low consumption state.
Note:
IMPORTANT: HVSU charges VCC so any other external voltage (including auxiliary
winding) must be de-coupled using a Diode (e.g. 1N4148).
7.2
Control loop
The control loop is based on the current mode Quasi Resonant flyback control scheme and
is therefore performed turning off the MOSFET when the peak of its source current reaches
the threshold set by the control loop, and turning the MOSFET on in correspondence with
the resonant valley following the primary side demagnetization input.
A detail of the block involved in this scheme is shown in Figure 20.

7.2.1
Current sense input
The peak of the primary current is read across a shunt resistor placed between the
MOSFET‘s source and compared with a threshold equal to:
Equation 1
Where the term VHVSU,pk is the maximum value of the HVSU voltage within around 20 ms
and is used to compensate the dependency on the input voltage of the open loop gain
transfer function. The gain kp collects all the proportional terms between HVSU voltage and
CS threshold.
A leading edge blanking time (LEB) is applied after MOSFET‘s turn-on.
VCS signal is upper limited to a value that depends on the OPTO voltage and is lower
limited to 60 mV.
A second level OCP threshold is present to temporarily stop the switching activity in case of
inductor saturation.
DS12748 Rev 2
21/33
33
Application information
7.2.2
HVLED001B
Feedback input
The OPTO pin is intended to be connected directly to the collector of the optocoupler that
provides the galvanic insulation to the control loop, while the FB pin is the output of the error
amplifier for the Primary side control loop of the output voltage (PSR) (see Section 7.2.4). A
suitable pick-up capacitor can be connected to the OPTO pin while suitable compensation
network for PSR is placed between FB and ground.
The FB voltage is also used as input parameter for burst mode operation described in the
relevant paragraph.
These pins embed a protection to stop the switching activity in case of excessive power
delivery (OPP protection).
7.2.3
Zero current detection
The zero level detection is performed by a trigger logic that operates as follows:
a) The logic is armed if ZCD voltage is higher than VZCD,arm after Tblank,min
starting from GD turn-off instant.
b) The logic is triggered to turn on the MOSFET when a falling edge crosses ZCD,trig
threshold. A small additional delay between ZCD triggering and GD turn-on is
there to turn on the MOSFET in correspondence if the bottom of resonance valley.
The advanced ZCD logic is able to discriminate between normal operation, output shortcircuit or start-up condition.
An internal blanking time prevents any triggering signal to activate the MOSFET at the very
beginning of the OFF-time, where spurious resonances could be present. As a result, the
first falling edge occurring after the blanking time turns on the MOSFET.
To ensure a proper operation, the transformer has to be designed to guarantee that the
inductor's demagnetization time is longer than TBLANK (@ VTOFF > VTOFF,fix) when the
VCS value (Equation 1) is higher than 0.7 V (typ.).
The TOFF pin is intended to apply an additional blanking time following the first ZCD
triggering event. If the pin is left unconnected, null blanking time is provided. The
TBLANK,var value depends on TOFF voltage as illustrated in Figure 21.
An internal starter provides the triggering signal whenever a valid arming signal is not
detected.
The ZCD pin embeds a negative clamp to limit the negative going current.

Application information
Primary side regulation feature
The ZCD pin is also used as input of the PSR error amplifier (E/A). The reference voltage of
this loop is internally fixed to VREF,PSR and applied to the non-inverting input of the E/A.
The output of such error amplifier is connected to the FB pin where the relevant
compensation network has to be connected.
In a flyback or buck-boost topology the output voltage can be read from primary side using
an auxiliary winding of the power magnetic: in this case the output voltage is obtained using
the following equation:
Equation 2
N SEC
Rzcd
V out = VREF PSR -------------- 1 + -------------
Rfb
N AUX
The internal small signal model of the PSR E/A is obtained by considering the voltage gain
(GV = 73 dB) and the Gain Bandwidth product (GBWP = 1 MHz) and is illustrated in
Figure 23:

7.2.5
Burst mode operation
As soon as either the FB pin or OPTO pin drops below, respectively, Vbm or VOPTO,dis the
burst mode operating mode is entered. On this occurrence, the switching activity is
temporarily interrupted. If the PSR loop is controlling the application, the output voltage
value is refreshed every Trep by means of the generation of four switching pulses.
On the other hand, if the optocoupler is controlling the loop, the IC remains disabled until the
OPTO pin is above VOPTO,dis and the FB pin is above Vbm.
During IC inactivity, VCC consumption is minimized.

HVLED001B
Gate driver
The output stage, connected to VCC potential and capable of 300 mA source and 600 mA
sink current, is suitable to drive high current MOSFETs. The resulting managed power can
be greater than 150 W.
7.4
IC supply management
The IC's voltage supply is managed by the UVLO circuitry together with high voltage startup
unit and reference generators. These logics also define supply currents during different
operating conditions.
7.4.1
VCC supply management
The IC is designed to operate with a range of supply voltage to ensure an optimum gate
driving. An active limiting device is embedded to prevent low energy fluctuations to bring the
VCC voltage above the technological constraints.
Both the active mode and the low consumption mode exhibit very low supply currents in
order to meet energy saving regulation.
The VCC pin can be driven independently from the HVSU pin's connection, for example
when auxiliary supply voltage is present. In this case the HVSU pin will be used solely to
monitor input voltage.
A bulk capacitor, having a capacitance of around 22 μF, followed by a ceramic capacitor,
having a typical capacitance of 100 nF and connected very tight to the VCC pin, are
necessary to properly sustain the VCC voltage during all operating phases.
26/33
DS12748 Rev 2
HVLED001B
7.4.2
Application information
High voltage startup
High voltage startup (HVSU) circuitry is primarily intended to provide the start-up current to
the VCC pin and maintain the IC responsive during low consumption modes.
This structure is able to sustain at least 800 V to avoid any damage in case of a surge or
burst on the stage's input.
The overall structure is OFF until input voltage reaches VHVSU,start threshold; after that it
sources a minimum current (Icharge,su) to charge the VCC pin up to Vcc,su threshold. This
condition prevents the IC from severe damage in the case of short-circuit on the VCC pin.
At this VCC voltage a higher current (Icharge) is provided to VCC to reach the VCC,on
threshold. On this occurrence the ramp-up mode is invoked and the HVSU is turned off.
During other active mode phases and stop mode the HVSU is OFF.
If low consumption mode is entered, the HVSU unit is turned on.
Table 7 summarizes the HVSU behavior in all IC conditions.

HVLED001B
Protections
A comprehensive set of protections is embedded to ensure a high level of reliability of the
final application using a limited number of components.
7.6.1
Over current protection (OCP)
To prevent any damage to active components in case of inductor saturation the MOSFET is
immediately turned off by fast OCP protection. On this occurrence the IC temporarily enters
stop state for a time equal to TOCP.
7.6.2
Input over voltage protection (I-OVP)
Disturbances of the input voltage like surges or bursts may increase the voltage applied to
the transformer primary side. At worst, an excessive input voltage could be applied to the
application. These occurrences may result in MOSFET damage during the OFF state when
the drain voltage rises to Vin plus reflected voltage, eventually above the maximum absolute
rating of the MOSFET itself.
An input voltage higher than VSurge, measured by the HVSU structure, immediately stops
the IC. An internal hysteresis improves the noise rejection of this feature. This protection is
always active.
7.6.3
Brownout protection (BO)
The current sourced by the ZCD pin's negative clamp during ON-time is compared to a
minimum value to determine whether the input voltage is lower than the input range
specification (Brownout protection). If a value lower than IBO for a time longer than TBO,
managed by the ART, is detected, the IC is stopped for Trec and then restarted.
When the protection is triggered, the ART performs the auto-relaoding procedure after Trec.
Brownout protection is active during active mode, but blanked during ramp-up mode.
Referring to the typical application schematic, the brownout level can be obtained adjusting
the transformer turn ratio and ZCD resistor configuration. The following equation regulates
the relationship between said level and external components.
Equation 3
N PRI
Vbrown,out = -------------- R FB + R BO I BO
N AUX
7.6.4
Over power protection (OPP)
This protection detects either the over-load condition or the absence of the optocoupler
control (no pull-down) or for more than a time equal to TOPP and switches off the
application putting the device in low consumption mode. This prevents the output power
from rising above excessive values due to the loss of control.
The ART manages the TOPP interval and performs the auto-reloading procedure after Trec.
The OPP is active during active mode, but blanked during ramp-up mode.
28/33
DS12748 Rev 2
HVLED001B
7.6.5
Application information
Output over voltage protection (oOVP)
In the case of ZCD sampled voltage being well above the VREF,PSR voltage (around 3 V),
OTA provides an extra sink current (2 mA typ.) to the FB pin to speed up the energy transfer
reduction and limiting the output voltage overshooting.
7.7
Disable and monitor feature
The OPTO pin can also be used as disabling mean to externally disable the IC: when pulled
to ground the device enters low consumption mode, while, when the OPTO pin is left free,
the internal biasing mean pulls up the voltage above the threshold entering the ramp-up
mode procedure.
