FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
The UTC UPSL101 is a primary side control offline LED lighting controller which can achieve high power factor
and accurate LED current for an isolate lighting application in a single converter. The UTC UPSL101 can control the
LED current accurately from the primary side information. It can significantly simplify the LED lighting system design
by eliminating the secondary side feedback components and the opto-coupler. And it integrates power factor
correction function and works in transition mode for reducing the MOSFET switching losses.
The principle of operation can be understood by referring to the block diagram.
Startup
The VCC pin of UTC UPSL101 is connected to the line input through a resistor. A large value startup resistor can
be used to minimize the power loss in application because the start current of UTC UPSL101 is very low. When the
VCC voltage reaches UVLO(OFF), the internal startup circuit is disabled and the IC turns on.
Operating Current
The operating current of UTC UPSL101 is as low as 1.5mA. Good efficiency and very low standby power can be
achieved.
Transition Mode Operation
During the external MOSFET on time, the rectified input voltage is applied across the primary side inductor and
the primary current increases linearly from zero to the peak value. When the external MOSFET turns off, the energy
stored in the inductor forces the secondary side diode to be turn on, and the current of the inductor begins to
decrease linearly from the peak value to zero, this decreasing is also reflected on the auxiliary winding. UTC
UPSL101 performs zero current detection (ZCD) through ZCD pin by monitoring the voltage activity on the auxiliary
windings in series with external resistors. When ZCD pin voltage falls below 0.3V, an internal ZCD comparator is
triggered and generates the turn on signal of the external MOSFET.
LED Constant Current Regulation
The proprietary real current control method allows the UTC UPSL101 controlling the secondary side LED current
from the primary side information. The LED mean current can be calculated approximately as:
N Vref
ILED ≈ *
2 RCS
N-Turn ratio of primary side to secondary side
VREF-The reference voltage (typical 0.4V)
RCS-The sensing resistor connected between the MOSFET source and GND.
Current Sensing and Leading Edge Blanking
Cycle-by-cycle current limiting is offered in UTC UPSL101. The switch current is detected by a sense resistor into
the CS pin. When the power switch is turned on, a turn-on spike will occur on this resistor. A leading-edge blanking
is built in to avoid false-termination of the switching pulse so that the external RC filtering is no longer needed. PWM
duty cycle is determined by the current sense voltage and the voltage at pin COMP.
Threshold of OCP Selection
The threshold voltage level of OCP is selected by the voltage of OCP_TH pin. The UTC UPSL101 provides the
source current equal to approximately 28μA through OCP_TH pin. So the proper resistor can be connected with the
OCP_TH pin to GND in order to generate the voltage needed. If OCP_TH pin is connected with 33K resistor, the
threshold voltage of OCP is about 1.8V; If OCP_TH pin is connected with 110K resistor, the threshold voltage of
OCP is about 1.5V; If OCP_TH pin is connected with GND directly, the threshold voltage of OCP is about 2.1V.

Maximum and Minimum On-Time
The minimum on-time of the system is determined by the LEB time. The IC limits the on-time to a maximum time
of approximately 50μs.

FUNCTION DESCRIPTION (Cont.)
Maximum Frequency Clamp
According to Transition Mode (TM) Operation principle, the switching frequency is inversely proportional to the
output power. Therefore, when the output power decreases, the switching frequency can become rather high without
limiting. The maximum switching frequency in UTC UPSL101 is internally limited to approximately 300kHz.
Power Factor Correction
The MULT pin is connected to the tap of the resistor divider from the rectified instantaneous line voltage and fed
as one input of the multiplier. The output of the multiplier will be shaped as sinusoid too. This signal provides the
reference for the current comparator and comparing with the primary side inductor current which sets the primary
peak current shaped as sinusoid with the input line voltage. High power factor can be achieved.
VCC OVP and Clamping Protection
VCC is supplied with transformer auxiliary winding output. It is clamped if VCC exceeds 30V. When VCC is higher
than 28V, OVP protection is triggered and GATE is shut down, so the device enters power on startup sequence
thereafter.
LED String Short Protection
When LED string is short, the positive plateau of auxiliary winding voltage is also near zero and the ZCD voltage is
low. If the voltage at ZCD pin is lower than a threshold of approximately 0.9V and lasts more than 10ms, the IC will
shut down.
LED String Open Protection
When the LED string open circuit happens, the positive plateau of auxiliary winding voltage increases and the ZCD
voltage is high. If the voltage at ZCD pin is higher than a threshold of approximately 4V, UTC UPSL101 will shut
down and restart again.
Thermal Shutdown
UTC UPSL101 provides an on chip thermal shutdown. The IC will stop switching when the junction temperature
exceeds the thermal shutdown temperature, typically 140°C.
Gate Drive Output
The UTC UPSL101 output stage is a fast totem-pole gate driver. Cross conduction has been avoided to minimize
heat dissipation, increase efficiency, and enhance reliability. The output driver is clamped at 12V to protect power
MOSFET transistors against undesired over-voltage gate signals.
Protection Control
The UTC UPSL101 offers comprehensive protection coverage with auto-recovery features including VCC over
voltage protection, LED open/short circuit protection, over temperature protection, over current protection, leading
edge blanking, VCC under voltage lockout, VCC clamp, GATE clamp, etc.
VCC is supplied by transformer auxiliary winding output. The output of UTC UPSL101 is shutdown when VCC drops
below UVLO (ON) and the power converter enters power on start-up sequence thereafter.
