HR1000
Resonant Half-Bridge Controller
MPS CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY INFORMATION – INTERNAL USE ONLY
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The HR1000 is a controller designed specifically
for the resonant half-bridge topology. It provides
two
drive-signal
channels
that
output
complementary signals at a 50% duty cycle. An
internal fixed dead-time of 350ns between the
two complementary gate signals guarantees
zero-voltage switching during the transient and
enables high-frequency operation.

The integrated bootstrap diode simplifies the
external driving circuit for the high-side switch. It
can withstand up to 600V with immunity against
high dV/dt noise.
Modulating the switching frequency regulates the
topology output voltage. A programmable
oscillator can set both the maximum and
minimum switching frequencies .
The IC starts up at the programmed maximum
switching frequency and gradually slows until the
control loop takes over to prevent excessive
inrush current
The IC can be forced to enter a controlled burstmode operation at light-load to minimize the
power consumption and tighten output regulation.
Protections features—including latched shutdown,
auto-recovery, brown-out protection, and overtemperature
protection—improve
converter
design safety without engendering additional
circuit complexity.
The IC provide 1.5A/2A source/sink capability for
both high-side and low-side gate drivers.
The HR1000 is available in a SOIC-16 package.

Notes:
1) Exceeding these ratings may damage the device.
2) The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the
maximum junction temperature TJ(MAX), the junction-toambient thermal resistance θJA, and the ambient temperature
TA. The maximum allowable continuous power dissipation at
any ambient temperature is calculated by D(MAX)=(TJ(MAX)TA)/ θJA. Exceeding the maximum allowable power dissipation
will cause excessive die temperature, and the regulator will go
into thermal shutdown. Internal thermal shutdown circuitry
protects the device from permanent damage.
3) The device is not guaranteed to function outside of its operating
conditions.
4) Measured on JESD51-7, 4-layer PCB.

Description
Soft-start. Connect an external capacitor with this pin to GND and a resistor to Fset pin to
set the maximum oscillator frequency and the time constant for the frequency shift during
start-up. An internal switch discharges the capacitor when the chip turns off (VCC < UVLO,
VCC > 16V, BO < 1.25V or > 5.5V, LATCH > 1.85V, CS >1.5V, TIMER > 2V, thermal
shutdown) to guarantee soft-start when the current sense pin voltage exceeds 0.8V, and as
long as it stays above 0.75V.
Period between over-current and shutdown. Connect a capacitor and a resistor from this
pin to GND to set both the maximum duration from an over-current condition before the IC
stops switching, and the delay before the IC resumes switching. Each time the CS pin
voltage exceeds 0.8V, an internal 130µA source charges the capacitor; an external resistor
slowly discharges this capacitor. If the pin voltage 2V, the soft-start capacitor discharges
completely, pushing the switching frequency to its maximum value; the 130µA source
remains on. When the voltage exceeds 3.5V the IC stops switching and the internal current
source turns off so that the pin voltage decays. The IC enters soft-started when the voltage
drops below 0.3V. This allows the converter to work intermittently with very low average
input power under short-circuit conditions.
Time-Set. An internal current source programmed by the external network connected to pin
4 charges and discharges a capacitor connected to GND. Determines the convert switching
frequency.
Switching Frequency Set. Provides a precise 2V reference. A resistor connected from this
pin to GND defines a current that sets the minimum oscillator frequency. Connect the
phototransistor of an opto-coupler to this pin through a resistor to close the feedback loop
that modulates the oscillator frequency to regulate the converter output voltage. The value
of this resistor will set the maximum operating frequency. An R-C series connected from
this pin to GND sets frequency shift at start-up to prevent excessive energy inrush (softstart).
Burst-Mode Operation Threshold. The pin senses some voltage related to the feedback
control, which is compared to an internal reference (1.25V). If the voltage on the pin is
lower than the reference, the IC enters an idle state and reduces its quiescent current. The
chip resumes switching when the voltage exceeds the reference by 50mV. Soft-start is not
invoked. This function enables burst-mode operation when the load falls below a
programmed level, determined by connecting an appropriate resistor to the opto-coupler to
pin Fset (see block diagram). Tie the pin to Fset if burst-mode is not used.
Primary-Current Sense. Uses a sense resistor or a capacitive divider to sense the primary
current. The voltage signal requires an averaging filter because this input is not intended
for cycle-by-cycle control. As the voltage exceeds a 0.8V threshold (with 50mV hysteresis),
the soft-start capacitor on pin 1 discharges internally: The frequency increases, limiting the
power throughput. Under an output short circuit, this normally results in a nearly-constant
peak-primary current. A timer set on pin 2 limits the duration of this condition. If the current
continues to build up despite the frequency increase, a second comparator referenced at
1.5V latches the device off and brings its consumption up to about pre-start-up levels. The
information is latched, requiring cycling the IC supply voltage to restart: The latch is
removed as the VCC voltage drops below the UVLO threshold. Tie the pin to GND if the
function is not used.

BO
Description
Input Voltage Sense. Connect to the high-voltage input bus through the tap of a resistor
divider to perform either AC or DC (in systems with PFC) brownout protection. A voltage
below 1.25V shuts down (without latching) the IC, lowers its consumption and discharges
the soft-start capacitor. The IC operation resumes (with soft-start) when the voltage
exceeds 1.25V. The comparator has current hysteresis: An internal 12µA current source is
ON as long as the applied voltage is below 1.25V, and is OFF if this value is exceeded.
Bypass the pin with a capacitor to GND to reduce noise pick-up. An internal Zener diode
top-limits the pin voltage. Activating the Zener diode causes the IC to shut down (without
latching). Bias the pin between 1.25V and 5.5V if the function is not used.
LATCH
IC Latch. Connects internally to a comparator that—when the pin voltage exceeds 1.85V—
shuts the IC down and brings its consumption to near pre-start-up levels. The latch is
removed as the VCC voltage goes below the UVLO threshold. Tie the pin to GND if the
function is not used.
9
PFC
Interface to the front-end PFC. This pin—normally high—stops the PFC controller for
protection purposes or during burst-mode operation. It goes low when the IC shuts down
from the following conditions: VCC > 16V, LATCH > 1.85V, CS > 1.5V, BO > 5.5V, thermal
shutdown and BURST < 1.25V. The pin also goes low when the voltage on TIMER
exceeds 2V, and goes back open as the voltage falls below 0.3V. During UVLO, it is open.
Leave the pin unconnected if not used.
10
GND
Ground. Current return for both the low-side gate-driver current and the IC bias current. Tie
all bias component ground connections to a trace to this pin. Keep separate from any
pulsed current return.
11
LG
Low-Side Gate Driver. The driver is capable of a minimum 0.5A source and a minimum 1A
sink-peak current to drive the lower MOSFET of the half-bridge leg. The pin is actively
pulled to GND during UVLO.
12
VCC
Supply Voltage. Supplies both the IC signal and the low-side gate driver. Sometimes a
small bypass capacitor (e.g., 0.1µF) can help provide a clean bias voltage for the IC signal.
13
N.C.
High-Voltage Spacer. Not internally connected—isolates the high-voltage pin and eases
compliance with safety regulations (creepage-distance) on the PCB.
14
SW
High-Side Switch Source. Current return for the high-side gate-drive current. Requires
careful layout to avoid large spikes below ground.
15
HG
High-Side Floating Gate-Driver. Capable of minimum 0.5A source and minimum 1A sinkpeak current to drive the upper MOSFET of the half-bridge leg. An internal resistor
connected to pin 14 (SW) ensures that the pin does not floating during UVLO.
16
BST
High-Side Gate Driver for Floating Voltage Supply. Connect a bootstrap capacitor between
this pin and pin 14 (SW)—fed by an internal bootstrap diode driven in-phase with the lowside gate-drive.

MPS CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY INFORMATION – INTERNAL USE ONLY
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Oscillator
source-1 (IS-1) to charge the CT capacitor. Here,
the current mirror ratio inside the HR1000 is
1A/A. When a switching cycle starts, IS-1
charges the CT capacitor until the voltage
triggers the peak threshold voltage. Then the
discharge current source (IS-2) with twice the
source current of the Fset pin turns on.
Therefore, the CT capacitor discharges with the
source current of the Fset pin. When the
voltage on the CT capacitor drops to the valley
threshold voltage, the IS-2 turns off and then a
new switching cycle is enabled.
The charge/discharge time of the CT capacitor
determines the oscillator frequency. The
voltage on the CT capacitor fluctuates between
the peak threshold and valley threshold to form
a triangle waveform. Figure 2 shows the
detailed waveform during steady state.

Based on the block diagram shown in Figure 3,
the Fset RC network functions as described:

therefore setting the Fset minimum source
current, which sets the minimum switching
frequency;

2. Under normal operation, the phototransistor
modulates the current flow through Rfmax to
modulate the frequency for output voltage
regulation. When the phototransistor is
saturated, the current flow through Rfmax is
at its maximum, setting the frequency at its
maximum
3. A series RC circuit connected between Fset
and GND determines the frequency shift at
start-up. (Please see the soft-start section
for details.)
Based on the previous principles, the following
equations describe the minimum and maximum
frequency:
fmin 
fmax
Burst pin drops below 1.25V, HR1000 will shut
down the HG and LG gate drive outputs,
leaving only the 2V reference voltage on the
Fset pin and the SS pin to retain the previous
state
and
minimize
HR1000’s
power
consumption. When the voltage on the Burst
pin exceeds 1.25V by 50mV, HR1000 resumes
normal operation.
Based on the Burst-mode operating principle,
the Burst pin voltage must connect to the
feedback loop. Figure 4 shows a typical circuit
connect the Burst pin to the feedback signal for
narrow-input–voltage range applications:

For the CT capacitance selection, here is a note
for low temperature and high switching
frequency application: when the temperature is
low, the source current capability of Fset pin
drops a little due to the property of internal
transistor circuit, which means there might be
not big enough current to charge/discharge the
large CT capacitor. So a small CT cap
(<=330pF) is recommended for such application.
Burst-Mode Operation
Under light-load or in the absence of a load, the
maximum frequency limits the resonant halfbridge switching frequency. To control the
output voltage and limit power consumption, the
HR1000 can enable compatible converters to
operate in burst-mode to sharply reduce the
average switching frequency, thus reducing the
average residual magnetizing current and the
associated losses.
Figure 4: Bust-Mode Operation Set-Up
In addition to setting the oscillator, Rfmax also
determines the maximum switching frequency
that HR1000 operates in burst-mode. After
confirming fmax, calculate Rfmax as below:
Rfmax 
3 Rfmin

8 fmax
1
fmin
Here, fmax corresponds to a load point, PBurst,
where the peak current flow through the
transformer is too low to cause audible noise.
The above introduction is based on a narrow
input voltage range. As a property of the
resonant circuit, input voltage also determines
the switching frequency. That means the PBurst
has a large variance over the wide input voltage
range. To stabilize PBurst over the input range,
use the circuit in Figure 5 to insert the input
voltage signal into feedback loop.
Operating in burst-mode requires setting the
Burst pin on the HR1000; if the voltage on the

Input Voltage Range
RB1 and RB2 from Figure 5 correct against the
wide input voltage range. Select both resistors
based on experimental results. Note that the
total resistance of RB1 and RB2 should be much
bigger than RH to minimize the effect on the BO
pin voltage.
During burst-mode operation, when the load is
lower than PBurst, the switching frequency is
clamped at the maximum frequency. Then the
output voltage must rise over the set value,
which would increase the current flowing
through the
opto-coupler. Therefore, the
voltage on Rfmax must rise due to the increased
opto-transistor current. The Burst pin voltage
would then drop below 1.25V, triggering the
gate signal OFF state. Until the output voltage
falls below the setting value, the current flow
through opto-coupler then decreases, causing
the Burst pin voltage to rise. When the voltage
exceeds 1.25V+100mV, the IC restarts to
generate the gate signal. The IC will continue to
operate in this mode under no-load or light-load
to decrease average power consumption.
PFC-Disable Function
Many applications require a PFC function,
making a pre-regulator widely before a resonant
circuit common. Under some conditions—e.g.
no-load or light load, OCP, OVP—require
disabling the PFC .

Figure 8: Soft-Start Block
When start-up begins, the SS voltage is 0V, so
the soft-start resistor (RSS) is in parallel to Rfmin:
Rfming and RSS determine the initial frequency as:
fstart 

3  CT  (Rfmin ||Rss )
During start-up, the CSS charges until its voltage
reaches the reference–2V, and the current flow
through RSS drops to zero. This period takes
about 5×(RSS×CSS). During this period, the
switching frequency changes following an
exponential curve: the CSS charge initially
decays relatively quickly but the rate
progressively slows.
After this period ends, the output voltage is not
still close to the setting value, so the feedback
loop will take over start-up.
With soft-start, the input current increases
gradually until the output voltage reaches the
setting point with little overshoot.
Select the soft-start RC network as per the
equations below:

There are two levels over-current protection.
The first level occurs when the CS voltage
exceeds 0.8V, the comparator triggers the
control logic to output a high-level control signal
that turns on the transistor connecting SS and
GND. Then the CSS voltage drop results a sharp
increase in oscillator frequency, and therefore
reduces the energy transferred to the output.
When the CS pin voltage drops back to
0.79V,the converter resumes normal operation
with the help of the 10mV hysteresis.
Generally, the CS pin voltage continues to rise
during a short circuit. The second level overcurrent protection triggers when the CS pin
voltage rises to 1.5V. Then the IC is latched at
very low consumption (residual consumption in
EC table).
For two-level protection, a very large CSS slows
the discharge to the point that the transformer
and the resonant inductor saturate and
damages the secondary diode.

There are two types of current sensing methods:
one uses a sense resistor in series with the lowside MOSFET; the other uses a lossless
current-sensing network. The first method is
simple but causes some unnecessary power
consumption.
Calculate the sense resistor using the following

Where ICrpk is the desired peak current through
the primary MOSFET for the resonant capacitor
at low input voltage and full load.

Calculating the reactance of C1 and Cr at the

current occurs. Empirically, the R2 and C2 time
constant is about 10/fmin.
Depending on the circuit, consider the
calculated value as a cut value that requires
adjustments based on experimental results to
meet the design target.
The OCP can limit the energy transferred from
the primary to the secondary during over-load
or short-circuit period. However, excessive
power consumption due to high continuous
currents can damage the secondary-side
windings and the rectifiers. The HR1000
provides additional protection to reduce the
average power consumption during OCP: When
OCP triggers, the converter enters a hiccup-like
protection mode that operates intermittently.
Set the maximum over-load or short circuit
operating time (tOC) by selecting appropriate
CTimer and RTimer. During the first OCP level
when the CS voltage exceeds 0.8V, an internal
130µA current source turns on to charge CTimer.
When the voltage on CTimer reaches 2V, the CSS
voltage drops below the OCP comparator
output. This forces the switching frequency to
equal fstart to minimize the transferred energy.
tOC is the time for the voltage on CTimer to rise
from 0V to 2V. However, there is no simple

Latch Operation
After the voltage on CTimer rises to 2V, the

until the voltage reaches the shutdown
threshold (3.5V). This period is approximately:

Sequence
During this period, the switching frequency
remains at fstart to limit the energy transferred.
When the shutdown threshold triggers, the gate
drive turns off and the 130µA current source
shuts down. Then RTimer slowly discharges CTimer.
This procedure lasts until the CTimer voltage
drops below 0.3V, then the IC restarts. This
time period is:

The HR1000 provides a simple latch-off
function through the Latch pin. Applying an
external voltage >1.85V causes the IC to enter
a latched shutdown. After IC is latched, its
consumption drops, as shown by the residual
current in the EC table. Resetting the IC
requires dropping the VCC voltage below the
UVLO threshold.
The latch function implements accurate overvoltage protection by sensing the output voltage
and converting it to an OVP signal via the optocoupler.
Input Voltage Sensing
The HR1000 can stop when the input voltage
drops below a specified value, and then
restarted when the input voltage goes back to
normal. This function guarantees that the
resonant half-bridge converter always operates
within the specified input voltage range. The IC
senses voltage on BO through the tap of a
resistor divider connected to the rectified AC
voltage or the PFC output.
Figure 14 shows the line-sensing internal block
diagram.
Figure 12 shows the operation’s time sequence.

The LG pin provides the gate driver signal for
the low-side MOSFET. The maximum absolute
rating table shows that the maximum LG pin
voltage is 16V. Under some conditions, a large
voltage spike occurs on the LG pin due to
oscillations from the long gate-driver wire, the
MOSFET parasitic capacitance, and the small
gate-driver resistor. This voltage spike is
dangerous to the LG pin, so add a 15V Zener
diode close to the LG and GND pins.

The external BST capacitor provides energy to
the high-side gate driver. An integrated
bootstrap diode charges this capacitor through
