technology, able to ensure voltage ratings up to
600V, making it perfectly suited for AC/DC Adapters
and wherever a Resonant Topology can be beneficial. The device is intended to drive two Power MOS,
in the classical Half Bridge Topology. A dedicated
Timing Section allows the designer to set Soft Start
Time, Soft Start and Minimum Frequency. An Error
Amplifier, together with the two Enable inputs, are
made available. In addition, the integrated Bootstrap
Diode and the Zener Clamping on low voltage supply, reduces to a minimum the external parts needed
in the applications.

High/Low Side driving section
An High and Low Side driving Section provide the proper driving to the external Power MOS or IGBT. An high
sink/source driving current (450/250 mA typ) ensure fast switching times also when size4 Power MOS are used.
The internal logic ensures a minimum dead time to avoid cross-conduction of the power devices.
Timing and Oscillator Section
The L6598 is provided of a soft start function. It consists in a period of time, TSS, in which the switching frequency shifts from fstart to fmin. This feature is explained in the following description (ref. fig.4 and fig.5).
6/16

Figure 4. Soft Start and frequency shifting block
Iss
Ifstart
Ifmin
Iosc

OSC
Css
During the soft start time the current ISS charges the capacitor CSS, generating a voltage ramp which is delivered
to a transconductance amplifier, as shown in fig. 4. Thus this voltage signal is converted in a growing current
which is subtracted to Ifstart. Therefore the current which drives the oscillator to set the frequency during the soft
start is equal to:
g m I ss 
------- t
I osc = I fmin + ( I fstart – g m V Css ( t )) = I fmin +  I fstart – ------
C ss 
V R EF
V REF
R fmin
R fstart
[1]
where I fmin = --------------, Ifsart = ---------------- , V R EF = 2V [2]
At the start-up (t=0) the L6598 oscillates at fstart, set by:
1
1
I osc ( 0 ) = I fmin + I fstart = V R EF  -------------- + ---------------- [3]
R

R
fm in
fstart
At the end of soft start (t = TSS) the second term of eq.1 decreases to zero and the switching frequency is set
only by Imin (i.e. Rfmin):
V
I osc ( T ss ) = I fm in = -----REF
--------- [4]
R fmin
Since the second term of eq.1 is equal to zero, we have:
g m I ss
C Ifstart
- T SS = 0 → T SS = -----ss
------------------- [5]
I fstart – ------------C ss
g m I ss
Note that there is not a fixed threshold of the voltage across CSS in which the soft start finishes (i.e. the end of
the frequency shifting), and TSS depends on CSS, Ifstart, gm, and ISS (eq. 5). Making TSS independent of Ifstart,
the ISS current has been designed to be a fraction of Ifstart, so:
I fstart
C ss Ifstart
C ss
---------- → T SS = ------------------------- → T SS = ---------- → T SS – k SS C SS [6]
I SS = ---K
g m I fstart K
gmK
In this way the soft start time depends only on the capacitor CSS. The typical value of the kSS constant (Soft
7/16
L6598
Start Timing Constant) is 0.15 s/µF.
The current Iosc is fed to the oscillator as shown in fig. 5. It is twice mirrored (x4 and x8) generating the triangular
wave on the oscillator capacitor Cf. Referring to the internal structure of the oscillator (fig.5), a good relationship
to compute an approximate value of the oscillator frequency in normal operation is:
1.41
f min = -------------------- [7]
R fminC f
The degree of approximation depends on the frequency value, but it remains very good in the range from 30kHz
to 100kHz (figg.6-10)

Bootstrap Section
The supply of the high voltage section is obtained by means of a bootstrap circuitry. This solution normally requires an high voltage fast recovery diode for charging the bootstrap capacitor (fig. 11a). In the L6568 a patented integrated structure, replaces this external diode. It is realised by means of a high voltage DMOS, driven
synchronously with the low side driver (LVG), with in series a diode, as shown in fig. 11b.

To drive the synchronised DMOS it is necessary a voltage higher than the supply voltage Vs. This voltage is
obtained by means of an internal charge pump (fig. 11b).
The diode connected in series to the DMOS has been added to avoid undesirable turn on of it. The introduction
of the diode prevents any current can flow from the Vboot pin to the VS one in case that the supply is quickly
turned off when the internal capacitor of the pump is not fully discharged.
The bootstrap driver introduces a voltage drop during the recharging of the capacitor Cboot (i.e. when the low
side driver is on), which increases with the frequency and with the size of the external power MOS. It is the sum
of the drop across the RDSON and of the diode threshold voltage. At low frequency this drop is very small and
can be neglected. Anyway increasing the frequency it must be taken in to account. In fact the drop, reducing
the amplitude of the driving signal, can significantly increase the RDSON of the external power MOS (and so the
dissipation).
To be considered that in resonant power supplies the current which flows in the power MOS decreases increasing the switching frequency and generally the increases of RDSON is not a problem because power dissipation
is negligible. The following equation is useful to compute the drop on the bootstrap driver:
Qg
-----R
V drop = I ch arg e R dson + V diode → V drop = -------------+ V diode [8]
T ch arg e dson
where Qg is the gate charge of the external power MOS, Rdson is the on resistance of the bootstrap DMOS, and
Tcharge is the time in which the bootstrap driver remains on (about the semiperiod of the switching frequency
minus the dead time). The typical resistance value of the bootstrap DMOS is 150 Ohm. For example using a
power MOS with a total gate charge of 30nC the drop on the bootstrap driver is about 3V, at a switching frequency of 200kHz. In fact:
30nC
V drop = ------------------ 150Ω + 0.6V~2.6V
2.23µs
To summarise, if a significant drop on the bootstrap driver (at high switching frequency when large power MOS
are used) represents a problem, an external diode can be used, avoiding the drop on the RDSON of the DMOS.

OP AMP Section
The integrated OP AMP is designed to offer Low Output Impedance, wide band, High input Impedance and wide
Common Mode Range. It can be readily used to implement protection features or a closed loop control. For this
purpose the OP AMP Output can be properly connected to Rfmin pin to adjust the oscillation frequency.
Comparators
Two CMOS comparators are available to perform protection schemes. Short pulses (>= 200ns) on Comparators
Input are recognised. The EN1 input (active High), has a threshold of 0.6V (typical value) forces the L6598 in a
latched shut down state (e.g. LVG Low, HVG low, Oscillator stopped), as in the Under Voltage Conditions. Normal Operating conditions are resumed after a power-off power-on sequence. The EN2 input (active high), with
a threshold of 1.2V (typical value) restarts a Soft Start sequence (see Timing Diagrams). In addition the EN2
Comparator, when activated, removes a latched shutdown caused by EN1.
