RT7306
Primary-Side Regulation Dimmable LED Driver Controller
with Active-PFC
General Description
Features
The RT7306 is a constant current LED driver with active
power factor correction. It supports high power factor
across a wide range of line voltages, and it drives the
converter in the Quasi-Resonant (QR) mode to achieve
higher efficiency. By using Primary Side Regulation
(PSR), the RT7306 controls the output current
accurately without a shunt regulator and an opto-coupler
at the secondary side, reducing the external component

count, the cost, and the volume of the driver board.

RT7306 is compatible with analog dimming. The output
current can be modulated by the DIM pin. An in-house
design high voltage (HV) start-up device is integrated in
the RT7306 to minimize the power loss and shorten the
start-up time.

Operation
Critical-Conduction Mode (CRM) with Constant
On-Time Control
Figure 1 shows a typical flyback converter with input
voltage (VIN). When main switch Q1 is turned on with
a fixed on-time (tON), the peak current (IL_PK) of the
magnetic inductor (Lm) can be calculated by the
following equation :
If the input voltage is the output voltage of the
full-bridge rectifier with sinusoidal input voltage
(VIN_PKsin()), the inductor peak current (IL_PK) can be
expressed as the following equation :
IL_PK 
VIN_PK  sin(θ)  tON
Lm
When the converter operates in CRM with constant
on-time control, the envelope of the peak inductor
current will follow the input voltage waveform with
V
IL_PK  IN  tON

in-phase. Thus, high power factor can be achieved, as
shown in Figure 2.

RT7306 needs no shunt regulator and opto-coupler at
the secondary side to achieve the output current
regulation. Figure 3 shows several key waveforms of a
conventional flyback converter in Quasi-Resonant (QR)
mode, in which VAUX is the voltage on the auxiliary
winding of the transformer.

Clamped by Controller
The RT7306 provides a voltage clamping circuit at ZCD
pin since the voltage on the auxiliary winding is
negative when the main switch is turned on. The lowest
voltage on ZCD pin is clamped near zero to prevent the
IC from being damaged by the negative voltage.
Meanwhile, the sourcing ZCD current (IZCD_SH),
flowing through the upper resistor (RZCD1), is sampled
and held to be a line-voltage-related signal for
propagation delay compensation. The RT7306 embeds
the programmable propagation delay compensation
through CS pin. A sourcing current ICS (equal to
IZCD_SH x KPC) applies a voltage offset (ICS x RPC)
which is proportional to line voltage on CS to
compensate the propagation delay effect. Thus, the
output current can be equal at high and low line
voltage.
Quasi-Resonant Operation
Figure 4 illustrates how valley signal triggers PWM.
If
no valley signal detected for a long time, the next PWM
is triggered by a starter circuit at end of the interval
(tSTART, 130s typ.) which starts at the rising edge of
the previous PWM signal. A blanking time (tS(MIN),
8.5μs typ.), which starts at the rising edge of the
previous PWM signal, limits minimum switching period.
When the tS(MIN) interval is on-going, all of valley
signals are not allowed to trigger the next PWM signal.
After the end of the tS(MIN) interval, the coming valley
will trigger the next PWM signal. If one or more valley
signals are detected during the tS(MIN) interval and no
valley is detected after the end of the tS(MIN) interval,
the next PWM signal will be triggered automatically at
end of the tS(MIN) + 5s (typ.).

LED Open-Circuit Protection
In an event of output open circuit, the converter will be
shut down to prevent being damaged, and it will be
auto-restarted when the output is recovered. Once the
Valley

PWM
LED is open-circuit, the output voltage keeps rising,
causing the voltage on ZCD pin VZCD rising accordingly.

When the sample-and-hold ZCD voltage (VZCD_SH)
exceeds its OV threshold (VZCD_OVP, 3.2V typ.), output
OVP will be activated and the PWM output (GD pin) will
be forced low to turn off the main switch. If the output is
still open-circuit when the converter restarts, the
converter will be shut down again.
Figure 4. PWM Triggered Method
Output Diode Short-Circuit Protection
HV Start-up Device
An in-house design 500V start-up device is integrated
in RT7306 to minimize the power loss and shorten the
start-up time. The HV start-up device will be turned on
during start-up period and be turned off during normal
operation. It provides fast start-up time and no power
loss in this path during normal operation. A 10k
resistor is recommended to be connected in series with
HV pin.
Dimming Function
An analog dimming function is embedded in RT7306.
When the voltage on the DIM pin (VDIM) is within
VDIM_LOW and VDIM_HIGH, the regulation factor of
constant current control (KCC) is linearly proportional to
VDIM, as shown in Figure 5.
When the output diode is damaged as short-circuit, the
transformer will be led to magnetic saturation and the
main switch will suffer from a high current stress. To
avoid the above situation, an output diode short-circuit
protection is built-in. When CS voltage VCS exceeds
the threshold (VCS_SD 1.7 typ.) of the output diode
short-circuit protection, RT7306 will shut down the
PWM output (GD pin) in few cycles to prevent the
converter from damage. It will be auto-restarted when
the failure condition is recovered.
VDD Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO) and
Over-Voltage Protection (VDD OVP)
RT7306 will be enabled when VDD voltage (VDD)
exceeds rising UVLO threshold (VTH_ON, 17V typ.) and
disabled when VDD is lower than falling UVLO
threshold (VTH_OFF, 8.5V typ.).
When VDD exceeds its over-voltage threshold (VOVP,
37.4V typ.), the PWM output of RT7306 is shut down. It
will be auto-restarted when the VDD is recovered to a
normal level.

RT7306
Over-Temperature Protection (OTP)
The RT7306 provides an internal OTP function to
protect the controller itself from suffering thermal stress
and permanent damage. It's not suggested to use the
function as precise control of over temperature. Once
the junction temperature is higher than the OTP
threshold (TSD, 150C typ.), the controller will shut
down until the temperature cools down by 30C (typ.).
Meanwhile, if VDD reaches falling UVLO threshold
voltage (VTH_OFF), the controller will hiccup till the over
temperature condition is removed.

in which KIV, Gmramp, and Cramp are fixed parameters in
the RT7306, and the typical value are : KIV = 2.5V/mA,
CTRTX1 

IPRI_PK NP
in which CTRTX1 is the current transfer ratio of the
transformer TX1, ISEC_PK is the peak current of the
secondary side, and IPRI_PK is the peak current of the
primary side. CTRTX1 can be estimated to be 0.9.
According to the above parameters, current sense
resistor RCS can be determined as the following
equation :
Gmramp = 8A/V, Cramp = 6.5pF.
VD is the offset of the constant on-time comparator, and
its typical value is 0.63V. It is recommended to design
VCOMP = 2 to 3V. If the COMP voltage is over its
recommended operating range (0.7 to 4.3V), output
current regulation may be affected. Thus, the resistors
RZCD1 can be determined according to the above
parameters.

Propagation Delay Compensation Design
The VCS deviation (VCS) caused by propagation delay
effect can be derived as:
The RT7306 limits a minimum on-time (tON(MIN)) for
each switching cycle. The tON(MIN) can be derived from
the following equations.
tON(MIN)  IZCD_SH  187.5p  sec  A (typ.)
Thus, RZCD1 can be determined by:

in which tD is the delay period which includes the
propagation delay of RT7306 and the turn-off transition
In addition, the current flowing out of ZCD pin must be
lower than 2.5mA (typ.). Thus, the RZCD1 is also
of the main MOSFET. The sourcing current from CS pin
of RT7306 (ICS) can be expressed as :

Output Over-Voltage Protection Setting
Output OVP is achieved by sensing the voltage on the
auxiliary winging. It is recommended that output OV
level (VOUT_OVP) is set at 120% of nominal output
voltage (VOUT). Thus, RZCD1 and RZCD2 can be
determined by the equation as :

RT7306
When the MOSFET is turned off, the leakage
inductance of the transformer and parasitic capacitance
(COSS) of the MOSFET induce resonance waveform on
the ZCD pin. The resonance waveform may make the
controller false trigger the ZCD OVP, and it may cause
the controller operate in unstable condition. As load
increases, the resonance time also increases. It is
recommended to add a 10pF to 47pF bypass capacitor,
and it should be as close to ZCD pin as possible. The
larger bypass capacitor may cause phase shift on ZCD
waveform, so the MOSFET is not turned on at exact
valley point.
To avoid the above issue, the RT7306 provides
adaptive blanking time (tBK). It varies with the peak
voltage of the CS pin (VCS_PK), as shown by the
following formula :
allows the designer to see the effect of rising ambient
temperature on the maximum power dissipation.

Thermal Considerations
For continuous operation, do not exceed absolute
maximum junction temperature. The maximum power
dissipation depends on the thermal resistance of the IC
package, PCB layout, rate of surrounding airflow, and
difference between junction and ambient temperature.
The maximum power dissipation can be calculated by
the following formula :
PD(MAX) = (TJ(MAX) − TA ) / θJA
Where TJ(MAX) is the maximum junction temperature,
TA is the ambient temperature, and θJA is the junction
to ambient thermal resistance.
For recommended operating condition specifications,
the maximum junction temperature is 125°C. The
junction to ambient thermal resistance, θJA, is layout
dependent. For SOP-8 packages, the thermal
resistance, θJA, is 206.9°C/W on a standard JEDEC
51-3 two-layer thermal test board. The maximum
power dissipation at TA= 25°C can be calculated by the
following formula:
PD(MAX) = (125°C − 25°C) / (206.9°C/W) = 0.48W for
SOP-8 package.
The maximum power dissipation depends on the
operating ambient temperature for fixed TJ(MAX) and
thermal resistance, θJA. The derating curve in Figure 6

Layout Considerations

The path(5) from input capacitor to HV pin is a high
voltage loop. Keep a space from path(5) to other low
voltage traces.

It is good for reducing noise, output ripple and EMI
issue to separate ground traces of input capacitor(a),
MOSFET(b), auxiliary winding(c) and IC control
circuit(d). Finally, connect them together on input
capacitor ground(a). The areas of these ground
traces should be kept large.

To minimize parasitic trace inductance and EMI,
minimize the area of the loop connecting the
secondary winding, the output diode, and the output
filter capacitor. In addition, apply sufficient copper
A proper PCB layout can abate unknown noise
interference and EMI issue in the switching power
supply. Please refer to the guidelines when designing a
PCB layout for switching power supply :

The current path(1) from input capacitor, transformer,
MOSFET, RCS return to input capacitor is a high
frequency current loop. The path(2) from GD pin,
MOSFET, RCS return to the ground of the IC is also
a high frequency current loop. They must be as short
as possible to decrease noise coupling and kept a
space to other low voltage traces, such as IC control
circuit paths, especially. Besides, the path(3)
between MOSFET ground(b) and IC ground(d) is
recommended to be as short as possible, too.

area at the anode and cathode terminal of the diode
for heat-sinking. It is recommended to apply a larger
area at the quiet cathode terminal. A large anode
area will induce high-frequency radiated EMI.
The path(4) from RCD snubber circuit to MOSFET is
a high switching loop. Keep it as small as possible.
