IRS2548D
Description
The IRS2548D is a fully integrated, fully protected 600V LED or switched mode power supply control IC with
integrated PFC control for a Boost pre-regulator. The IRS2548D is based on the popular IRS2168D
electronic ballast control IC re-designed for use in LED driver or half-bridge power supply applications. The
PFC circuitry operates in critical conduction mode and provides high PF, low THD and DC bus regulation.
The IRS2548D features include programmable minimum run frequency and adjustable oscillator frequency
that can be driven by an opto isolator or other feedback circuit in a feedback loop for frequency modulation in
resonant systems. The IRS2548D also includes PFC over-voltage and over-current protection, half bridge
over current protection and a logic level enable input that can be used for PWM dimming in LED drivers or
general burst mode operation.

OUTPUT
The under-voltage lock-out mode (UVLO) is defined
as the state the IC is in when VCC is below the
turn-on threshold of the IC. The IRS2548D
undervoltage lock-out is designed to maintain an
ultra low supply current and to guarantee the IC is
fully functional before the high and low-side output
drivers and PFC are activated. Figure 1 shows a
possible VCC supply voltage scheme using the
micro-power start-up current of the IRS2548D
together with a snubber charge pump from the halfbridge output (RVCC, CVCC1, CVCC2, CSNUB, DCP1 and
DCP2).

Figure 1: Start-up and supply circuitry.
The VCC capacitors (CVCC1 and CVCC2) are charged
by the current through supply resistor (RVCC) minus
the start-up current drawn by the IC. This resistor is
chosen to set the desired AC line input voltage turnon threshold for the system. When the voltage at
VCC exceeds the IC start-up threshold (VCCUV+)
and the ENN pin is below 1.5 volts, the IC turns on
and LO begins to oscillate. The capacitors at VCC
begin to discharge due to the increase in IC
operating current (Figure 2). The high-side supply
voltage, VB-VS, begins to increase as capacitor
CBS is charged through the internal bootstrap
MOSFET during the LO on-time of each LO
switching cycle. When the VB-VS voltage exceeds
the high-side start-up threshold (VBSUV+), HO
then begins to oscillate. This may take several
cycles of LO to charge VB-VS above VBSUV+ due
to RDSon of the internal bootstrap MOSFET.

t
Figure 2: VCC supply voltage.
When LO and HO are both oscillating, the external
MOSFETs (MHS and MLS) are turned on and off with
a 50% duty cycle and a non-overlapping deadtime of
1.6us. The half-bridge output (pin VS) begins to
switch between the DC bus voltage and COM. During
the deadtime between the turn-off of LO and the turnon of HO, the half-bridge output voltage transitions
from COM to the DC bus voltage at a dv/dt rate
determined by the snubber capacitor (CSNUB). As the
snubber capacitor charges, current will flow through
the charge pump diode (DCP2) to VCC. After several
switching cycles of the half-bridge output, the charge
pump and the internal 15.6V zener clamp of the IC
take over as the supply voltage. Capacitor CVCC2
supplies the IC current during the VCC discharge
time and should be large enough such that VCC does
not decrease below UVLO- before the charge pump
takes over.
This scheme can be used in non-dimming
applications, however where PWM dimming is used
the charge pump may not supply enough current to
VCC at low dimming levels and in this case an
auxiliary power supply is required.
Capacitor CVCC1 is required for noise filtering and
must be placed as close as possible and directly
between VCC and COM, and should not be lower
than 0.1uF. Resistors R1 and R2 are recommended
for limiting high currents that can flow to VCC from
the charge pump. The internal bootstrap MOSFET
and supply capacitor (CBS) provide the floating supply
voltage for the high side driver circuitry. During
UVLO mode the high and low-side driver outputs HO
and LO are both low and the internal oscillator is
disabled.

IRS2548D
Run Mode (RUN)
After the VCC supply comes up and the IC starts,
the IC enters run mode. The operating frequency is
set to the minimum limit, which is programmed by
the external resistor (RFMIN) at the FMIN pin. If the
IRS2548D is used in a series resonant
configuration the frequency can be increased to
regulate the system output voltage. This can be
implemented by sinking additional current from the
FMIN pin with an additional resistor, opto isolator or
other arrangement.
It should be noted that the FMIN pin input is very
sensitive to noise and that traces connected to this
pin should be very short and should be kept away
from high voltage switching nodes; HO, VB and VS.
An additional RC filter can also be added to the
FMIN pin if necessary as shown in the application
schematic on page 1.
Should hard-switching occur at the half-bridge at
any time or excessive current be drawn due to a
fault condition, the voltage across the current
sensing resistor (RCS) will exceed the internal
threshold of 1.2 volts (VCSTH+) and the fault
counter will begin counting (see Figure 3).
DIM Mode (ENN Input)
PWM dimming can be implemented via the ENN pin.
If the voltage input to the ENN pin exceeds 2V during
run mode, the IC enters dim mode, LO, HO and PFC
gate drivers go to the low state. This is similar to fault
mode except that the COMP pin is not internally
pulled to COM and so the COMP capacitor retains it's
voltage. This allows the PFC to start up rapidly with
the on time close to where it was before the ENN
signal shut off the IC outputs. When ENN goes below
1.5V and therefore the bus voltage can be maintained
while the PFC gate drive being held low during the
periods where the LED load is not being driven. This
minimizes ripple generated on the DC bus during
PWM dimming.
CS Fault Mode
The current sense function will force the IC to enter
fault mode only after the voltage at the CS pin has
been greater than 1.2V (VCSTH+) for 65
(nEVENTS) consecutive cycles of LO. The voltage
at the CS pin is AND-ed with LO (see Figure 3) so it
will work with pulses that occur during the LO ontime or DC. If the over-current faults are not
consecutive, then the internal fault counter will
count back down each cycle when there is no fault.
Should an over-current fault occur only for a few
cycles and then not occur again, the counter will
eventually reset to zero.

IRS2548D
II. PFC Section
Functional Description
In most LED drivers rated at more than a few Watts
high power factor high power factor (PC) is a
requirement. The driver needs to appear as a
resistive load to the AC input line voltage. The
degree to which the circuit matches a purely
resistive load is measured by the phase shift
between the input voltage and input current
harmonic distortion of the input current waveform.
The cosine of the phase angle between the input
voltage and input current is defined as the
displacement power factor and the amount of
harmonic distortion determines the distortion power
factor and total harmonic distortion (THD). The
overall power factor is the ratio between real and
apparent power and includes both displacement
and distortion. A power factor of 1.0 corresponds to
zero phase shift and a THD of 0% representing a
pure sinusoidal current waveform. In order to
provide a high PF and a low THD the IRS2548D
includes an active power factor correction (PFC)
circuit.
The control method implemented in the IRS2548D
is designed for a PFC Boost converter (Figure 4)
running in critical-conduction mode, the boundary
between continuous and discontinuous mode.
During the off period of each switching cycle of the
PFC MOSFET the circuit waits until the inductor
current falls to zero before turning the PFC
MOSFET on again. The PFC MOSFET is turned on
and off at a much higher frequency (>10KHz) than
the line input frequency (50 to 60Hz).
LPFC
continuously monitoring the DC bus voltage and
adjusting the on-time of MPFC accordingly. For an
increasing DC bus the on-time is decreased and for a
decreasing DC bus the on-time is increased. This
negative feedback control is performed with a slow
loop speed such that the average inductor current
smoothly follows the low-frequency line input voltage
for high power factor and low THD. The on-time of
MPFC therefore appears to be fixed (except for on
time modulation which is discussed later) over
several cycles of the line voltage. With a fixed ontime and an off-time determined by the inductor
current discharging to zero the switching frequency
and duty cycle vary to produce a high frequency near
the zero crossing of the AC input line voltage and a
lower frequency at the peak (Figure 5).
V, I
t
Figure 5: Sinusoidal line input voltage (solid
line), triangular PFC Inductor current and
smoothed sinusoidal line input current
(dashed line) over one half-cycle of the AC line
input voltage.
When the line input voltage is low (near the zero
crossing), the inductor current will charge to a
lower peak level and therefore the discharge time
will be fast resulting in a high switching frequency.
When the input line voltage is high (near the
peak), the inductor current will charge up to a
higher amount and the discharge time will be
longer giving a lower switching frequency.
The PFC control circuit of the IRS2548D (Figure 6)
includes five control pins: VBUS, COMP, ZX, PFC
and OC. The VBUS pin measures the DC bus
voltage via an external resistor voltage divider.
The COMP pin voltage at the transconductance
error amplifier output sets the on-time of MPFC
where the speed of the feedback loop is
determined by the external COMP capacitor. The
ZX input detects when the inductor current has
discharged to zero each switching cycle using a
secondary winding from the PFC inductor. The
PFC output provides the gate driver output for the
external MOSFET, MPFC. The OC pin senses the
current flowing through MPFC and performs cycleby-cycle over-current protection.

(+) and (-) causing the current in LPFC to rise
linearly. When MPFC is turned off LPFC is
connected between the rectified line input (+) and
the DC bus capacitor CBUS through diode DPFC
and the stored energy in LPFC supplies a current
into CBUS. MPFC is turned on and off at a high
frequency and the voltage on CBUS charges up to
a specified voltage. The feedback loop of the
IRS2548D regulates this voltage to a fixed value by

negative transition of ZX pin voltage does not
occur. Should the negative edge at ZX not be
detected, MPFC will remain off until the watch-dog
timer forces it to turn-on again after a fixed delay.

Should the OC pin exceed the 1.2V (VOCTH+)
over-current threshold during the on-time, the PFC
output will turn off. The circuit will then wait for a
negative-going transition on the ZX pin or a forced
turn-on from the watch-dog timer to turn the PFC
output on again.

The VBUS pin is regulated against a fixed internal
4V reference voltage for regulating the DC bus
voltage (Figure 7). The feedback loop is performed
by an operational transconductance amplifier (OTA)
that sinks or sources a current to the external
capacitor at the COMP pin. The resulting voltage
on the COMP pin sets the threshold for the charging
of the internal timing capacitor and therefore
determines the on-time of MPFC.

Figure 7: IRS2548D detailed PFC control
circuit.
The off-time of MPFC is determined by the time it
takes the LPFC current to fall to zero. A positivegoing edge at the ZX input exceeding the internal
2V threshold (VZXTH+) signals the beginning of
the off-time and the following negative-going edge
falling below 1.7V (VZXTH+ - VZXHYS) occurs
when the LPFC current discharges to zero which
signals the end of the off-time and MPFC is turned
on again (Figure 8). The cycle repeats itself
indefinitely until the PFC section is disabled due to
a fault detected by the system section (Fault
Mode), an over-voltage on the DC bus or the
www.irf.com
A fixed on-time of MPFC over an entire cycle of the
line input voltage produces a peak inductor current
which naturally follows the sinusoidal shape of the
line input voltage. The smoothed averaged line
input current is in phase with the line input voltage
for high power factor but some harmonic distortion
is left. This is mostly due to cross-over distortion of
the line current near the zero-crossings of the line
input voltage. To achieve lower harmonics that
comply with
international standards such as
EN61000-3-2 class C and general market
requirements an additional on-time modulation
circuit in included in the PFC control. This circuit
dynamically increases the on-time of MPFC as the
line input voltage nears the zero-crossings (Figure
9). This causes the peak LPFC current and
therefore the smoothed line input current to
increase slightly near the zero-crossings of the line
input voltage to compensate for cross over
distortion which reduces the THD and higher
harmonics.

DC Bus Over-voltage Protection
Should over-voltage occur on the DC bus and the
VBUS pin exceeds the internal 4.3V threshold
(VBUSOV+), the PFC output is disabled (set to a
logic ‘low’). When the DC bus decreases again
and the VBUS pin decreases below the internal
4.15V threshold (VBUSOV-), a watch-dog pulse is
forced on the PFC pin and normal PFC operation
is resumed.

IV. PFC Design Equations
Step1: Calculate PFC inductor value:
LPFC =
2
(VBUS − 2 ⋅ VACMIN ) ⋅VAC MIN
⋅η
2 ⋅ f MIN ⋅ POUT ⋅VBUS
[Henries]
where,
VBUS
= DC bus voltage
VAC MIN = Minimum rms AC input voltage
η
= PFC efficiency (typically 0.95)
f MIN
POUT
= Minimum PFC switching frequency at minimum AC input voltage
= System output power
Step 2: Calculate peak PFC inductor current:
i PK =
2 ⋅ 2 ⋅ POUT
VAC MIN ⋅η
[Amps Peak]
Note: The PFC inductor must not saturate at i PK over the specified system operating temperature
range. Proper core sizing and air-gapping should be considered in the inductor design.
Step 3: Calculate PFC over-current resistor ROC value:
ROC =
1.25
i PK
where VCSTH+ = 1.25V
