Pin Functional Description

DRAIN (D) Pin:

This pin is the power MOSFET drain connection. It provides

internal operating current for both start-up and steady-state

operation.

BYPASS (BP) Pin:

This pin is the connection point for an external 1 mF bypass capacitor

for the internally generated 6 V supply.

FEEDBACK (FB) Pin:

During normal operation, switching of the power MOSFET is

controlled by this pin. This pin senses the AC voltage on the

bias winding. This control input regulates both the output

voltage in CV mode and output current in CC mode based on

the yback voltage of the bias winding. The internal induc-

tance correction circuit uses the forward voltage on the bias

winding to sense the bulk capacitor voltage.

LinkSwitch-3 Functional Description

The LinkSwitch-3 combines a high-voltage power MOSFET switch with

a power supply controller in one device. It uses an ON/OFF control to

regulate the output voltage. In addition, the switching frequency is

modulated to regulate the output current to provide a constant current

characteristic. The LinkSwitch-3 controller consists of an oscillator,

feedback (sense and logic) circuit, 6 V regulator, over-temperature

protection, frequency jittering, current limit circuit, leading-edge

blanking, inductance correction circuitry, frequency control for

constant current regulation and ON/OFF state machine for CV control.

Inductance Correction Circuitry

If the primary magnetizing inductance is either too high or low the

converter will automatically compensate for this by adjusting the

oscillator frequency. Since this controller is designed to operate in

discontinuous-conduction mode the output power is directly

proportional to the set primary inductance and its tolerance can be

completely compensated with adjustments to the switching

frequency.

Constant Current (CC) Operation

As the output voltage and therefore the yback voltage across the

bias winding ramps up, the FEEDBACK pin voltage increases. The

switching frequency is adjusted as the FEEDBACK pin voltage increases

to provide a constant output current regulation. The constant current

circuit and the inductance correction circuit are designed to operate

concurrently in the CC region.

Constant Voltage (CV) Operation

As the FEEDBACK pin approaches 2 V from the constant current

regulation mode, the power supply transitions into CV operation.

The switching frequency at this point is at its maximum value,

corresponding to the peak power point of the CV/CC characteristic.

The controller regulates the FEEDBACK pin voltage to remain at

FEEDBACK pin threshold (VFBTH) using an ON/OFF state-machine.

The FEEDBACK pin voltage is sampled 2.5 ms after the turn-off of the

high-voltage switch.

At light loads the current limit is also reduced to decrease the

transformer ux density and the FEEDBACK pin sampling is done

earlier.

Output Cable Compensation

This compensation provides a constant output voltage at the end of

the cable over the entire load range in CV mode. As the converter

load increases from no-load to the peak power point (transition point

between CV and CC) the voltage drop introduced across the output

cable is compensated by increasing the FEEDBACK pin reference

voltage. The controller determines the output load and therefore the

correct degree of compensation based on the output of the state

machine. The amount of cable drop compensation is determined by

the third digit in the device part number.

Auto-Restart and Open-Loop Protection

In the event of a fault condition such as an output short or an

open-loop condition the LinkSwitch-3 enters into an appropriate

protection mode as described below.

In the event the FEEDBACK pin voltage during the yback period falls

below 0.7 V before the FEEDBACK pin sampling delay (~2.5 ms) for a

duration in excess of ~300 ms (auto-restart on-time (tAR-ON) the

converter enters into auto-restart, wherein the power MOSFET is

disabled for 1500 ms. The auto-restart alternately enables and

disables the switching of the power MOSFET until the fault condition

is removed.

In addition to the conditions for auto-restart described above,

if the sensed FEEDBACK pin current during the forward period of the

conduction cycle (switch “on” time) falls below 120 mA, the converter

annunciates this as an open-loop condition (top resistor in potential

divider is open or missing) and reduces the auto-restart time from

300 ms to approximately 6 clock cycles (90 ms), whilst keeping the

disable period of 2 seconds.

Over-Temperature Protection

The thermal shutdown circuitry senses the die temperature. The

threshold is set at 142 °C typical with a 60 °C hysteresis. When the

die temperature rises above this threshold (142 °C) the power

MOSFET is disabled and remains disabled until the die temperature

falls by 60 °C, at which point the MOSFET is re-enabled.

Current Limit

The current limit circuit senses the current in the power MOSFET.

When this current exceeds the internal threshold (ILIMIT), the power

MOSFET is turned off for the remainder of that cycle. The leading

edge blanking circuit inhibits the current limit comparator for a short

time (tLEB) after the power MOSFET is turned on. This leading edge

blanking time has been set so that current spikes caused by

capacitance and rectier reverse recovery time will not cause

premature termination of the MOSFET conduction. The LinkSwitch-3

also contains a “di/dt” correction feature to minimize CC variation across

the input line range.

6 V Regulator

The 6 V regulator charges the bypass capacitor connected to the

BYPASS pin to 6 V by drawing a current from the voltage on the

DRAIN, whenever the MOSFET is off. The BYPASS pin is the internal

supply voltage node. When the MOSFET is on, the device runs off of

the energy stored in the bypass capacitor. Extremely low power

consumption of the internal circuitry allows the LinkSwitch-3 to

operate continuously from the current drawn from the DRAIN pin

however for the best no-load input power, the BYPASS pin should be

supplied current of IS1 from the bias winding at no-load conditions.

A bypass capacitor value of 1 mF is sufcient for both high frequency

decoupling and energy storage.

Applications Example

Circuit Description

This circuit shown in Figure 4 is congured as a primary-side

regulated yback power supply utilizing the LNK6448K. With an

average efciency of 78% and <30 mW no-load input power this

design easily exceeds the most stringent current energy efciency

requirements.

Input Filter

AC input power is rectied by bridge BR1. The rectied DC is ltered

by the bulk storage capacitors C1 and C2. Inductors L2 and L3,

together with C1 and C2 form a pi (π) lter, which attenuates

conducted differential-mode EMI noise. This conguration along with

Power Integrations transformer E-Shield™ technology allows this

design to meet EMI standard EN55022 class B with good margin

without requiring a Y capacitor, even with the output connected to

safety earth ground. A ferrite bead for L3 is sufcient especially

when the output of the supply is oating. Fuse F1 provides protection

against catastrophic failure. NTC (Negative Thermal Coefcient)

thermistor RT1 is used to limit the rush current to below the peak

specication of BR1 during start-up especially at high-line input

voltage. High-line results in the highest current into C1 and C2. F1

and RT1 can be replaced by a single fusible resistor. If the reduction

in efciency is acceptable, a bridge with a higher IFSM rating may also

allow removal of RT1. If a fusible resistor is selected, use a

ameproof type. It should be suitably rated (typically a wire wound

type) to withstand the instantaneous dissipation while the input

capacitors charge when rst connected to the AC line.

LNK6448K Primary

The LNK6448K device (U1) incorporates the power switching device,

oscillator, CC/CV control engine, start-up, and protection functions.

The integrated 725 V MOSFET provides a large drain voltage margin

in universal input AC applications, increasing reliability and also

Figure 4. Energy Efcient USB Charger Power Supply (78% Average Efciency, <30 mW No-load Input Power).

reducing the output diode voltage stress by allowing a greater

transformer turns ratio. The device is completely self-powered from

the BYPASS pin and decoupling capacitor C7. For the LNK64xx

devices, there are 4 options for different amount of cable drop

compensation determined by the third digit in the device part

number. Table 2 shows the amount of compensation for each device.

The LNK644x devices do not provide cable drop compensation.

The optional bias supply formed by D3 and C8 provides the operating

current for U1 via resistor R8. This reduces the no-load consumption

from ~200 mW to <30 mW and also increases light load efciency.

The rectied and ltered input voltage is applied to one side of the

primary winding of T1. The other side of the transformer’s primary

winding is driven by the integrated MOSFET in U1. The leakage

inductance drain voltage spike is limited by an RCD-R clamp

consisting of D2, R3, R11, and C6.

Output Rectication

The secondary of the transformer is rectied by D1, a 10 A, 45 V

Schottky barrier type for higher efciency, and ltered by C3, L1 and

C4. If lower efciency is acceptable then this can be replaced with a

5 A PN junction diode for lower cost. In this application C3 and C4

are sized to meet the required output voltage ripple specication with

a ferrite bead L1, which eliminates the high switching noise on the

output. A pre-load resistor R2 is used to meet the regulation

specication. If the battery self-discharge is required, the pre-load

resistor can be replaced with a series resistor and Zener network.

Output Regulation

The LNK64xx family of devices regulates the output using ON/OFF

control in the constant voltage (CV) regulation region of the output

characteristic and frequency control for constant current (CC)

regulation. The feedback resistors (R6 and R7) were selected using

standard 1% resistor values to center both the nominal output

voltage and constant current regulation thresholds.

Key Application Considerations

Output Power Table

The data sheet maximum output power table (Table 1) repre- sents

the maximum practical continuous output power level that can be

obtained under the following assumed conditions:

1. Assumes minimum input DC voltage >90 VDC, KP ≥1 (Recom-

mend KP ≥1.15 for accurate CC regulation), η >78% , D MAX <55%.

2. Output power capability is reduced if a lower input voltage

is used.

3. Minimum continuous power with adequate heat sink measured at

50 °C ambient with device junction below

110 °C.

4. Assumes bias winding is used to supply BYPASS pin.

Output Tolerance

LinkSwitch-3 provides an overall output tolerance (including

line, component variation and temperature) of ±5% for the output

voltage in CV operation and ±10% for the output current during CC

operation over a junction temperature range of 0 °C to 110 °C.

BYPASS Pin Capacitor Selection

A 1 mF BYPASS pin capacitor is recommended. The capacitor

voltage rating should be greater than 7 V. The capacitor’s dielectric

material is not important but tolerance of capacitor should be ≤

±50%. The capacitor must be physically located adjacent to the

LinkSwitch-3 BYPASS pin.

Cable Drop Compensation

The amount of output cable compensation is determined by the third

digit in the device part number. Table 2 shows the amount of

compensation for each LinkSwitch-3 device.

The output voltage that is entered into PIXls design spreadsheet is

the voltage at the end of the output cable when the power supply is

delivering maximum power. The output voltage at the terminals of

the supply is the value measured at the end of the cable multiplied by

the output voltage change factor.

LinkSwitch-3 Layout Considerations

Circuit Board Layout

LinkSwitch-3 is a highly integrated power supply solution that

integrates on a single die, both, the controller and the high- voltage

MOSFET. The presence of high switching currents and voltages

together with analog signals makes it especially important to follow

good PCB design practice to ensure stable and trouble free operation

of the power supply. See Figure 5 for a recommended circuit board

layout for LinkSwitch-3.

When designing a printed circuit board for the LinkSwitch-3 based

power supply, it is important to follow the following guidelines:

Single Point Grounding

Use a single point (Kelvin) connection at the negative terminal of the

input lter capacitor for the LinkSwitch-3 SOURCE pin and bias

winding return. This improves surge capabilities by returning surge

currents from the bias winding directly to the input lter capacitor.

Bypass Capacitor

The BYPASS pin capacitor should be located as close as possible to

the SOURCE and BYPASS pins.

Feedback Resistors

Place the feedback resistors directly at the FEEDBACK pin of the

LinkSwitch-3 device. This minimizes noise coupling.

Thermal Considerations

The copper area connected to the SOURCE pins provides the

LinkSwitch-3 heat sink. A good estimate is that the LinkSwitch-3 will

dissipate 10% of the output power. Provide enough copper area to

keep the SOURCE pin temperature below 110 °C is recommended to

provide margin for part to part RDS(ON) variation.

Secondary Loop Area

To minimize leakage inductance and EMI the area of the loop connecting

the secondary winding, the output diode and the output lter capacitor

should be minimized. In addition, sufcient copper area should be

provided at the anode and cathode terminal of the diode for heat

sinking. A larger area is preferred at the quiet cathode terminal.

A large anode area can increase high frequency radiated EMI.

Electrostatic Discharge Spark Gap

A spark gap is created between the output and the AC input. The

spark gap directs ESD energy from the secondary back to the AC

input. The trace from the AC input to the spark gap electrode should

be spaced away from other traces to prevent unwanted arcing

occurring and possible circuit damage.

Drain Clamp Optimization

LinkSwitch-3 senses the feedback winding on the primary-side to

regulate the output. The voltage that appears on the feedback

winding is a reection of the secondary winding voltage while the

internal MOSFET is off. Therefore any leakage inductance induced

ringing can affect output regulation. Optimizing the drain clamp to

Rev. C 03/16

LNK64x4-64x8

minimize the high frequency ringing will give the best regulation.

Figure 6 shows the desired drain voltage waveform compared to

Figure 7 with a large undershoot due to the leakage inductance

induced ring. This will reduce the output voltage regulation

performance. To reduce this adjust the value of the resistor in series

with the clamp diode.

Addition of a Bias Circuit for Higher Light Load

Efciency and Lower No-load Input Power

Consumption

The addition of a bias circuit can decrease the no-load input power

from ~200 mW down to less than 30 mW at 230 VAC input. Light

load efciency also increases which may avoid the need to use a

Schottky barrier vs. PN junction output diode while still meeting

average efciency requirements.

The power supply schematic shown in Figure 4 has only one winding

for both feedback and bias circuit. Diode D3, C8, R5 and R8 form the

bias circuit. The feedback winding voltage is designed at 11 V, this

provides a high enough voltage to supply the BYPASS pin even during

low switching frequency operation at no-load.

A 10 mF capacitance value is recommended for C8 to hold up the bias

voltage at the low switching frequencies that occur at light to

no-load. The capacitor type is not critical but the voltage rating

should be above the maximum value of VBIAS. The recommended

current into the BYPASS pin is equal to IC supply current (0.6 mA to

0.7 mA) at the minimum bias winding voltage. The BYPASS pin

current should not exceed 10 mA at the maximum bias winding

voltage. The value of R8 is calculated according to (VBIAS – VBP)/IS2,

where VBIAS (10 V typ.) is the voltage across C8, IS2 (0.6 mA to

0.7 mA typ.) is the IC supply current and VBP (6.2 V typ.) is the

BYPASS pin voltage. The parameters IS2 and VBP are provided in the

parameter table of the LinkSwitch-3 data sheet. Diode D3 can be any

low cost diode such as FR102, 1N4148 or BAV19/20/21.

Quick Design Checklist

As with any power supply design, all LinkSwitch-3 designs should be

veried on the bench to make sure that component specications are

not exceeded under worst-case conditions.

The following minimum set of tests is strongly recommended:

1. Maximum drain voltage – Verify that peak VDS does not exceed

680 V at the highest input voltage and maximum output power.

2. Maximum drain current – At maximum ambient temperature,

maximum input voltage and maximum output load, verify drain

current waveforms at start-up for any signs of transformer

saturation and excessive leading edge current spikes.

LinkSwitch-3 has a leading edge blanking time of 170 ns to

prevent premature termination of the ON-cycle.

3. Thermal check – At maximum output power, both minimum and

maximum input voltage and maximum ambient temperature;

verify that temperature specications are not exceeded for

LinkSwitch-3, transformer, output diodes and output capacitors.

Enough thermal margin should be allowed for part-to-part variation

of the RDS(ON) of LinkSwitch-3, as specied in the data sheet.

NOTES:

A. Auto-restart ON-time is a function of switching frequency programmed by tON × IFB and minimum frequency in CC mode.

B. The current limit threshold is compensated to cancel the effect of current limit delay. As a result the output current stays constant across

the input line range.

C. IDSS1 is the worst-case OFF-state leakage specication at 80% of BVDSS and maximum operating junction temperature. IDSS2 is a typical

specication under worst-case application conditions (rectied 265 VAC) for no-load consumption calculations.

D. When the duty cycle exceeds DCMAX the LinkSwitch-3 operates in on-time extension mode.

E. This parameter is derived from characterization.

F. The switching frequency is programmable between 60 kHz to 85 kHz.

G. At light load tFB is reduced at 1.8 ms typical.
