NCL30185 D

NCL30185
Power Factor Corrected
Quasi-Resonant Primary
Side Current-Mode
Controller for LED Lighting
with Line Step Dimming and
Thermal Foldback
The NCL30185 is a controller targeting isolated and non−isolated
“smart−dimmable” constant−current LED drivers. Designed to
support flyback, buck−boost, and SEPIC topologies, its proprietary
current−control algorithm provides near−unity power factor and
tightly regulates a constant LED current from the primary side, thus
eliminating the need for a secondary−side feedback circuitry or an
optocoupler.
Housed in the SOIC8, the NCL30185 is specifically intended for
very compact space−efficient designs. The device is highly integrated
with a minimum number of external components. A robust suite of
safety protections is built in to simplify the design. To ensure reliable
operation at elevated temperatures, a user configurable current
foldback circuit is also provided. In addition, it supports step dimming
which allows light output reduction by toggling the main AC switch
on and off.
Pin−to−pin compatible to the NCL30085, the NCL30185 provides
the same benefits with in addition, an increased resolution of the
digital current−control algorithm for a 75% reduction in the LED
current quantization ripple.

VCC
IC Supply Pin
This pin is the positive supply of the IC. The circuit starts to operate when VCC
exceeds 18 V and turns off when VCC goes below 8.8 V (typical values). After
start−up, the operating range is 9.4 V up to 26 V (VCC (OVP ) minimum level).
Connected to the auxiliary winding, this pin detects the core reset event.
This pin observes the input voltage rail and protects the LED driver in case of
too low mains conditions (brown−out).
This pin also observes the input voltage rail for:
− Power Factor Correction
− Valley lockout
− Step dimming
This pin monitors the primary peak current.

Stresses exceeding those listed in the Maximum Ratings table may damage the device. If any of these limits are exceeded, device functionality
should not be assumed, damage may occur and reliability may be affected.
1. VDRV is the DRV clamp voltage VDRV(high) when VCC is higher than VDRV(high). VDRV is VCC otherwise.
2. These levels are low enough not to exceed the maximum ratings of the internal ESD 5.5−V Zener diode. More positive and negative voltages
can be applied if the pin current stays within the −2−mA / 5−mA range.
3. This device contains ESD protection and exceeds the following tests: Human Body Model 3500 V per JEDEC Standard JESD22−A114E,
Machine Model Method 250 V per JEDEC Standard JESD22−A115B, Charged Device Model 2000 V per JEDEC Standard JESD22−C101E.
4. This device contains latch−up protection and has been tested per JEDEC Standard JESD78D, Class I and exceeds ±100 mA
5. Recommended maximum VS voltage for optimal operation is 4 V. −0.3 V to +4.0 V is hence, the VS pin recommended range.

NCL30185
Application Information
The NCL30185 is a driver for power−factor corrected
flyback and non−isolated buck−boost and SEPIC
converters. It implements a current−mode, quasi−resonant
architecture including valley lockout and frequency
fold−back capabilities for maintaining high−efficiency
performance over a wide load range. A proprietary circuitry
ensures both accurate regulation of the output current
(without the need for a secondary−side feedback) and
near−unity power factor correction. The circuit contains a
suite of powerful protections to ensure a robust LED driver
design without the need for extra external components or
overdesign.
• Quasi−Resonance Current−Mode Operation:
implementing quasi−resonance operation in peak
current−mode control, the NCL30185 optimizes the
efficiency by turning on the MOSFET when its
drain−source voltage is minimal (valley). In light−load
conditions, the circuit changes valleys to reduce the
switching losses. For stable operation, the valley at
which the MOSFET switches on remains locked until
the input voltage or the output current set−point
significantly changes.
• Primary−Side Constant−Current Control with
Power Factor Correction: a proprietary circuitry
allows the LED driver to achieve both near−unity
power factor correction and accurate regulation of the
output current without requiring any secondary−side
feedback (no optocoupler needed). A power factor as
high as 0.99 and an output current deviation below ±2%
are typically obtained.
• Step dimming: The step dimming function decreases
the output current from 100% to 5% of its nominal
value in 3 discrete steps. Whenever a brown−out is
detected, the output current is decreased by reducing
the reference voltage VREF. The step−dimming function
is reset if the VS pin remains below the lower
brown−out threshold (VBO(off)) for more than 3 s
typically.
• Main protection features:
♦ Over Temperature Thermal Fold−back /
Shutdown/ Over Voltage Protection: the
NCL30185 features a gradual current foldback to
protect the driver from excessive temperature down
to 50% of the programmed current. This represents a
power reduction of the LED by more than 50%. If
the temperature continues to rise after this point to a
♦
♦
♦
♦
♦
second level, the controller stops operating. This
mode would only be expected to be reached if there
is a severe fault. The first and second temperature
thresholds depend on the value of the NTC
connected to the SD pin. Note, the SD pin can also
be used to shutdown the device by pulling this pin
below the VOTP(off) min level. A Zener diode can
also be used to pull−up the pin and stop the
controller for adjustable OVP protection. Both
protections are latching−off (A version) or
auto−recovery (the circuit can recover operation
after 4−s delay has elapsed − B version).
Cycle−by−cycle peak current limit: when the
current sense voltage exceeds the internal threshold
VILIM, the MOSFET is immediately turned off for
that switch cycle.
Winding or Output Diode Short−Circuit
Protection: an additional comparator senses the CS
signal and stops the controller if it exceeds 150% x
VILIM for 4 consecutive cycles. This feature can
protect the converter if a winding is shorted or if the
output diode is shorted or simply if the transformer
saturates. This protection is latching−off (A version)
or auto−recovery (B version).
Output Short−circuit protection: if the ZCD pin
voltage remains low for a 90−ms time interval, the
controller detects that the output or the ZCD pin is
grounded and hence, stops operation. This protection
is latching−off (A version) or auto−recovery (B
version).
Open LED protection: if the VCC pin voltage
exceeds the OVP threshold, the controller shuts
down and waits 4 seconds before restarting
switching operation.
Floating or Short Pin Detection: the circuit can
detect most of these situations which helps pass
safety tests.
Power Factor and Constant Current Control
The NCL30185 embeds an analog/digital block to control
the power factor and regulate the output current by
monitoring the ZCD, VS and CS pin voltages (signals ZCD,
VVS and VCS of Figure 59). This circuitry generates the
current setpoint (VCONTROL/4) and compares it to the
current sense signal (VCS) to dictate the MOSFET turning
off event when VCS exceeds VCONTROL/4.

• The COMP pin is grounded when the circuit is off. The
As illustrated in Figure 59, the VS pin provides the
sinusoidal reference necessary for shaping the input current.
The obtained current reference is further modulated so that
when averaged over a half−line period, it is equal to the
output current reference (VREFX). This averaging process is
made by an internal Operational Trans−conductance
Amplifier (OTA) and the capacitor connected to the COMP
pin (C1 of Figure 59). Typical COMP capacitance is 1 mF
and should not be less than 470 nF to ensure stability. The
COMP ripple does not affect the power factor performance
as the circuit digitally eliminates it when generating the
current setpoint.
If the VS pin properly conveys the sinusoidal shape, power
factor will be close to unity and the Total Harmonic
Distortion (THD) will be low. In any case, the output current
will be well regulated following the equation below:
I out +
V REFX

•
(eq. 1)
Where:
• NPS is the secondary to primary transformer turns
NPS = NS/NP
• Rsense is the current sense resistor (see Figure 1).
• VREFX is the output current internal reference.
VREFX = VREF (250 mV typically) at full load.
•
The output current reference (VREFX) is 250 mV typically
(VREF). In the event that step dimming is engaged, VREFX
takes a lower value based on the step−dimming level (see
“step dimming” section) or if the temperature is high enough
to activate the thermal fold−back (see “protections”
section).
If a major fault is detected, the circuit enters the
latched−off or auto−recovery mode and the COMP pin is
grounded (except in an UVLO condition). This ensures a
clean start−up when the circuit resumes operation.
•
Start−up Sequence
Generally an LED lamp is expected to emit light in < 1 sec
and typically within 300 ms. The start−up phase consists of
the time to charge the VCC capacitor, initiate startup and
begin switching and the time to charge the output capacitor
until sufficient current flows into the LED string.
To speed−up this phase, the following defines the start−up
sequence:
average COMP voltage needs to exceed the VS pin
peak value to have the LED current properly regulated
(whatever the current target is). To speed−up the COMP
capacitance charge and shorten the start−up phase, an
internal 80−mA current source adds to the OTA sourced
current (60 mA max typically) to charge up the COMP
capacitance. The 80−mA current source remains on until
the OTA starts to sink current as a result of the COMP
pin voltage sufficient rise. At that moment, the COMP
pin being near its steady−state value, it is only driven
by the OTA.
Whatever the step−dimming state is, the output current
reference is set maximum (VREFX = VREF) until the
ZCD pin voltage reaches the 1−V VZCD(short) threshold.
This prevents the circuit from detecting an output short
(AUX_SCP protection trips if the ZCD pin voltage
does not exceed 1−V VZCD(short) threshold within a
90−ms delay) just because dimming would make the
output voltage charge up slowly. If the system cannot
start−up in one VCC cycle, the AUX_SCP 90−ms
blanking time is not reset and VREFX remains
maximum for all the necessary VCC cycles until the
ZCD pin voltage reaches the 1−V VZCD(short) threshold.
If VCC drops below the VCC(off) threshold because the
circuit fails to start−up properly on the first attempt, a
new try takes place as soon as VCC is recharged to
VCC(on). The COMP voltage is not reset at that
moment. Instead, the new attempt starts with the
COMP level obtained at the end of the previous
operating phase.
If the load is shorted, the circuit will operate in hiccup
mode with VCC oscillating between VCC(off) and
VCC(on) until the AUX_SCP protection trips
(AUX_SCP is triggered if the ZCD pin voltage does
not exceed 1 V within a 90−ms operation period of time
thus indicating a short to ground of the ZCD pin or an
excessive load preventing the output voltage from
rising). The NCL30185A latches off in this case. With
the B version, the AUX_SCP protection forces the 4−s
auto−recovery delay to reduce the operation duty−ratio.
Figure 60 illustrates a start−up sequence with the output
shorted to ground, in this second case.

is selected by VREFX. This avoids long startup time while
dimming at low output current value.
The step dimming function decreases the output current
from 100% to 5% of its nominal value in 3 discrete steps.
The table below shows the different steps value and the
corresponding reference voltage value. Each time a
brown−out is detected, the output current is decreased by
decreasing the reference voltage VREF.
A counter is incremented by the BO_NOK (brown−out
not OK) signal and selects one of the four corresponding
reference thresholds: VREF, VREF70, VREF25, VREF5. After
counting up to 4, the counter is reset.

Figure 61. Split VCC Supply
The step−dimming function is reset if the VS pin is
maintained below the VBO(off) brown−out threshold for the
Tstep_reset time. Tstep_reset is 3 s typically. In other words, any
brown−out event that is longer than Tstep_reset, leads the
controller to re−start at 100% current setting.
Note:
The step dimming state is memorized until VCC crosses
VCC(reset) or VVS is below VBO(off) for 3 s (typical).
The circuit consumption is optimized (in particular, it
equals ICC(fault) when VCC is lower than VCC(off)) so that the
VCC voltage does not drop too fast for the step dimming
brown−out event.
The power supply designer should use a split VCC circuit
as shown in Figure 61 where a small capacitor C1 is used for
a fast start−up while a larger C2 capacitance provides the
necessary storage capability for step dimming. During step
dimming, at startup, the controller generates the first DRV
pulses after 1 time−out pulse even if a higher valley number
Zero Crossing Detection Block
The ZCD pin detects when the drain−source voltage of the
power MOSFET reaches a valley by crossing below the
55−mV internal threshold. At startup or in case of extremely
damped free oscillations, the ZCD comparator may not be
able to detect the valleys. To avoid such a situation, the
NCL30185 features a time−out circuit that generates pulses
if the voltage on ZCD pin stays below the 55−mV threshold
for 6.5 ms. The time−out also acts as a substitute clock for the
valley detection and simulates a missing valley in case the
free oscillations are too damped.

If the ZCD pin or the auxiliary winding happen to be
shorted, the time−out function would normally make the
controller keep switching and hence lead to improper LED
current value. The “AUX_SCP” protection prevents such a
stressful operation: a secondary timer starts counting that is
only reset when the ZCD voltage exceeds the VZCD(short)
threshold (1 V typically). If this timer reaches 90 ms (no
ZCD voltage pulse having exceeded VZCD(short) for this time
period), the controller detects a fault and stops operation for
4 seconds (B version) or latches off (A version).
The “clock” shown in Figure 62 is used by the “valley
selection frequency foldback” circuitry of the block diagram
(Figure 3), to generate the next DRV pulse (if no fault
prevents it):

load)
thermal foldback or step−dimming mode (see Table 5)
For an optimal operation, the maximum ZCD level
should be maintained below 5 V to stay safely below the
built in clamping voltage of the pin.
Line Range Detection and Valley Lockout
As sketched in Figure 63, this circuit detects the low−line
range if the VS pin remains below the VLL threshold (2.3 V
typical) for more than the 25−ms blanking time. High−line
is detected as soon as the VS pin voltage exceeds VHL (2.4 V
typical). These levels roughly correspond to 184−V rms and
192−V rms line voltages if the external resistors divider
applied to the VS pin is designed to provide a 1−V peak value
at 80 V rms.

Frequency foldback
A decimal counter counts the valley detected by the ZCD
logic block. In the low−line range, conduction losses are
generally dominant. Hence, only a short dead−time is
necessary to reach the MOSFET valley. In high−line
conditions, switching losses generally are the most critical.
It is thus efficient to skip a valley to lower the switching
frequency. Hence, when the current is not dimmed, the
NCL30185 optimizes the efficiency over the line range by
turning on the MOSFET at the first valley in low−line
conditions and at the second valley in the high−line case.
This is illustrated in Figure 64 that sketches the MOSFET
Drain−source voltage in both cases. In dimming cases, more
valleys can be skipped. Table 5 summarizes the valley
selection as a function of the output current.

Line Feedforward
The valley lockout function can make the circuit skip
operation until the 5th valley (6th valley) is detected in
low−line case (high−line case) as obtained at 25% of the
nominal load. At the lowest step (5% of the nominal load),
the switching frequency is decreased by further adding
dead−time after the 5th valley (low line) or the 6th valley
(high line) is detected. This extra dead−time is typically
40 ms.
As illustrated by Figure 65, the input voltage is sensed by
the VS pin and converted into a current. By adding an
external resistor in series between the sense resistor and the
CS pin, a voltage offset proportional to the input voltage is
added to the CS signal for the MOSFET on−time to
compensate for the Ipeak increase due to the propagation
delay.

Protections
The circuit incorporates a large variety of protections to
make the LED driver very rugged. Among them, we can list:
abnormally steep slope of the current, internal propagation
delays and the MOSFET turn−off time will make possible
the current rise up to 50% or more of the nominal maximum
value set by VILIM. As illustrated in Figure 66, the circuit
uses this current overshoot to detect a winding short circuit.
The leading edge blanking (LEB) time for short circuit
protection (LEB2) is significantly faster than the LEB time
for cycle−by−cycle protection (LEB1). Practically, if four
consecutive switching periods lead the CS pin voltage to
exceed (VCS(stop)=150% *VILIM), the controller enters
auto−recovery mode in version B (4−s operation
interruption between active bursts) and latches off in version
A. Similarly, this function can also protect the power supply
if the output diode is shorted or if the transformer simply
saturates.
Output Short Circuit Situation
An overload fault is detected if the ZCD pin voltage
remains below VZCD(short) for 90 ms. In such a situation, the
circuit stops generating pulses until the 4−s delay
auto−recovery time has elapsed (B version) or latches off (A
version).
Winding or Output Diode Short Circuit Protection
If a transformer winding happens to be shorted, the
primary inductance will collapse leading the current to ramp
up in a very abrupt manner. The VILIM comparator (current
limitation threshold) will trip to open the MOSFET and
eventually stop the current rise. However, because of the

the following resistances of the NTC:

• Thermal foldback stops when RNTC ≤ RTF(stop) (8.0 kW,

NCL30185
At startup, when VCC reaches VCC(on), the OTP
comparator is blanked for at least 180 ms in order to allow the
SD pin voltage to reach its nominal value if a filtering
capacitor is connected to the SD pin. This avoids flickering
of the LED light during turn on.
Brown−Out Protection
The NCL30185 prevents operation when the line voltage
is too low for proper operation. As illustrated in Figure 69,
the circuit detects a brown−out situation if the VS pin
remains below the VBO(off) threshold (0.9 V typical) for
more than the 25−ms blanking time. In this case, the
controller stops operating. Operation resumes as soon as the
VS pin voltage exceeds VBO(on) (1.0 V typical) and VCC is
higher than VCC(on). To ease recovery, the circuit overrides
the VCC normal sequence (no need for VCC cycling down
below VCC(off)). Instead, its consumption immediately
reduces to ICC(start) so that VCC rapidly charges up to
VCC(on). Once done, the circuit re−starts operating.

• Fault of the GND connection
Die Over Temperature (TSD)
The circuit stops operating if the junction temperature (TJ)
exceeds 150°C typically. The controller remains off until TJ
goes below nearly 100°C.
If the GND pin is properly connected, the supply
current drawn from the positive terminal of the VCC
capacitor, flows out of the GND pin to return to the
negative terminal of the VCC capacitor. If the GND pin
is not connected, the circuit ESD diodes offer another
return path. The accidental non−connection of the GND
pin is monitored by detecting that one of the ESD diode
is conducting. Practically, the ESD diode of CS pin is
monitored. If such a fault is detected for 200 ms, the
circuit stops generating DRV pulses.
Pin Connection Faults
•
The circuit addresses most pin connection fault cases:
CS pin short to ground
The circuit senses the CS pin impedance every time it
starts−up and after DRV pulses terminated by the 36−ms
maximum on−time. If the measured impedance does
not exceed 120 ohm typically, the circuit stops
operating. In practice, it is recommended to place a
minimum of 250−ohm in series between the CS pin and
the current sense resistor to take into account possible
parametric deviations.
More generally, incorrect pin connection situations
(open, grounded, shorted to adjacent pin) are covered by
AND9204/D.

Fault Modes
In this mode, the DRV pulses generation is interrupted.
In the case of a latching−off fault, the circuit stops pulsing
until the LED driver is unplugged and VCC drops below
VCC(reset). At that moment, the fault is cleared and the circuit
could resume operation.
In the auto−recovery case, the circuit cannot generate
DRV pulses for the auto−recovery 4−s delay. When this time
has elapsed, the circuit recovers operation as soon as the
VCC voltage has exceeded VCC(on).
In the B version, all these protections are auto−recovery.
The SD pin OTP and OVP, WOD_SCP and AUX_SCP are
latching off in the A version (see Table 6).
The circuit turns off whenever a major faulty condition
prevents it from operating:
• Severe OTP (VSD level below VOTP(off))
• VCC OVP
• OVP2 (additional OVP provided by SD pin)
• Output diode short circuit protection: “WOD_SCP
high”
• Output / Auxiliary winding Short circuit protection:
“Aux_SCP high”
• Die over temperature (TSD)
