Dimmable, Non-isolated PWM Controller
OPERATION DESCRIPTION
OB3600 is a dimmable, non-isolated LED
lighting controller which can achieve accurate
current for LED lighting applications.
Proprietary Constant Voltage (CV) and
Constant Current (CC) control is integrated.
working frequency and the highest input voltage
determines the highest working frequency.
The minimum and maximum off-time are set in
OB3600. Therefore, the value of inductor should
be carefully designed to achieve good LED output
current, according to equation 4.
Startup Current and Start up Control
Startup current of OB3600 is designed to be
very low so that VDD could be charged up
above UVLO threshold and starts up quickly. A
large value startup resistor can therefore be
used to minimize the power loss in application.
Adjustable CC point and Output Power
In OB3600, the CC point and maximum output
power can be externally adjusted by external
current sense resistor Rs at CS pin as illustrated in
Typical Application Diagram. The output power is
adjusted through CC point change. The larger Rs,
the smaller CC point is, and the smaller output
power becomes, and vice versa as shown in Fig.1.
Operating Current
The Operating current of OB3600 is as low as
0.45mA (Typ.). Typical good efficiency is
achieved with the low operating current.

Large Rs
Principle of CC Operation
For buck type operating in transition mode, the
peak voltage of CS is detected cycle-by-cycle,
and compared with internal reference voltage,
Vth_ocp (typical value 500mV).When the
voltage at CS pin is up to the threshold voltage,
the power switch will be turned off.

Operation switching frequency
The switching frequency of OB3600 is adaptively
controlled according to the load conditions and the
operation modes. No external frequency setting
components are required. The operation switching
frequency at maximum output power is set to
144KHz internally.
For buck operating in QR, The maximum output
power is given by

Where Lp indicate the inductance of winding and
Ipk is the peak current of winding.
The principle of CC operation sets the product Lp
and fsw to be a constant, thus the maximum
output power and constant current in CC mode will
not change as primary winding inductance
changes. Up to +/-7% variation of the primary
winding inductance can be compensated.
CV / OVP Mode
When LED string is open, an output voltage
condition is monitored independently by the
voltage at FB pin. During normal operation, the
voltage at FB pin is regulated at 0.9 or 2.4V (VS
pin floating), with dummy load over Pmin.

Current Sensing and Leading Edge Blanking
Cycle-by-Cycle current limiting is offered in
OB3600. The switch current is detected by a
sense resistor into the CS pin. An internal leading
edge blanking circuit chops off the sensed voltage
spike at initial power MOSFET on state so that the
external RC filtering on sense input is no longer
needed.

Good power supply system reliability is achieved

Latched Over Temperature Protection
Over temperature protection is offered in OB3600.
When temperature of the device rises over 155℃
(typical), the switching frequency will decrease to
half. And the state will be kept until the device
restarts.
Vth_oc — Over current protection threshold
voltage
Fmin — Minimum switching frequency, which is
103Hz (typ.)
UVLO
VDD is supplied by transformer winding output.
The output of OB3600 is shut down when VDD
drops below UVLO (ON) limit and the power
converter enters power on start-up sequence
thereafter.
If the dummy load is less than Pmin, the output
voltage rises up. If the voltage at FB pin
exceeds a threshold of approximately 2.7V (VS
pin floating), the over-voltage protection
function is activated and the switching is turned
off immediately.
V OVP
Dimming (Error Amplifier Reference Voltage
Switch) Control
Dimming (Error Amplifier Reference Voltage
switch) control is offered in OB3600. Default the
DC pin is pulled up with 1mA current source. The
error amplifier reference voltage is 0.9V. If the DC
pin is pulled down, the error amplifier reference
voltage is switched to 2.4V (VS pin floating).

CC Line Regulation
Adjust the R2 for better CC line regulation,
while driving different type MOSFET. The
larger MOSFET, the smaller R2 needed. If the
resistance is too large, it causes the
interference, too small resistance results the
efficiency decreased at HV AC line.
Frequency shuffling for EMI improvement
The frequency shuffling (switching frequency
modulation) is implemented in OB3600. The
oscillation frequency is modulated so that the
tone energy is spread out. The spread
spectrum minimizes the conduction band EMI
and therefore eases the system design.
