AN-EVALLED-ICL8002G-B2
Phase Cut Dimmable Non-isolated Buck Converter for LED Retrofit Bulb with ICL8002G & CoolMOS™ 600V C6

Introduction
ICL8002G is a quasi-resonant PWM controller specially designed for high efficient offline LED driving
application. It can be configured for different topologies such as flyback and buck converter. This document
illustrates the ICL8002G in dimmable LED bulb application using the non-isolated buck topology. The ICL8002G
IC’s quasi-resonant operation mode, precise cycle-by-cycle peak current control, integrated PFC and phase-cut
dimming control, and various protections make it an outstanding system solution for dimmable LED bulbs.
The ICL8002G non-isolated bulb demo board shows high efficiency and power factor with single stage design.
Damping and bleeder circuit blocks were added to achieve high compatibility with wide range of dimmers. The
output current is well regulated over a wide input and output voltage range. Its compact form factor makes it
easy to fit into many LED lamp shapes and sizes.
Other available demo boards for ICL8001G/ICL8002G are designed with isolated flyback topology. If galvanic
isolation is not required, a non-isolated buck topology can be used with the following advantages:
•
•
Lower PCBA BOM cost due to less costly power inductor and lower voltage rated MOSFET
Smaller form factor due to more compact size of the power inductor
This demo board can be ordered with the sales code EVALLED-ICL8002G-B2.

TRIAC Based Dimmer Compatibility
TRIAC based dimmers work smoothly with resistive loads such as incandescent lamps. However, when
connected to non-resistive loads such as switch mode LED drivers flickering issue can happen primarily due to
insufficient hold-up current and due to current oscillation especially during TRIAC firing. Therefore, to improve
compatibility with TRIAC based dimmers, usually bleeder circuit and damping circuit are implemented in the
LED drivers.
In this design, the fusible resistor F1 is functioning as a fuse as well as a damping element to reduce oscillation and
inrush current. Moreover, both passive bleeder circuit (formed by R1 and C1) and active bleeder circuit (formed by
R3-R6, C3, C4, ZD1, Q1, and Q2) are incorporated to maintain input current above the hold-up current

threshold of the TRIAC. When the input voltage is low, ZD1 as well as Q2 will not conduct. Q1’s gate is charged
by Vcc through R6. When Q1 turns on, the current through R5 helps the TRIAC maintain conduction. As input
voltage rises, ZD1 will pass current to trigger Q2. Once Q2 is on, Q1’s gate will discharge, turning off Q1.
Meanwhile TRIAC’s current is high enough for it to remain in conduction due to the increased current drawing
by the buck converter.
7
Single Stage Power Factor Correction
Single stage power factor correction (PFC) allows for a highly efficient, cost effective and compact LED driver.
In this demo board design, PFC is achieved by sensing the input mains voltage (via R8 and R10) and regulating
the peak current of the coupled inductor T1’s main winding (Pin 4 to Pin2) during each switching cycle to be
proportional to the input voltage.
The formula describing the relationship between the peak current and VR pin’s voltage is given by:

where Ip-pk(t) is the peak current of the transformer’s primary winding; VVR(t) is the VR pin’s voltage; V1(t) is the
input voltage sensing signal at the base of Q3; Vbe is the transistor Q3’s base to emitter voltage; VPWM is the
IC’s internal offset voltage with typical value of 0.7V, which is compensated by Q3’s V be; GPWM is the IC’s
PWM gain; and RCS is the current sense resistor.

The ICL8002G operates the buck converter in quasi-resonant PWM mode, that means, the current of the
inductor’s main winding is in critical conduction mode. The high frequency sawtooth current in the main winding
is filtered by the output capacitor before flowing to the LED load. Meanwhile the high frequency component of
the input current is filtered by LC filters formed by L1, L2, C2, and C5. Input voltage and current waveforms in
half an AC cycle are illustrated in Figure 3.

As can be noted from Figure 3, the averaged input current is shaped to be approximately sinusoidal and thus
high power factor is achieved, with input current harmonics fulfilling the requirements of EN 61000-3-2 and ANSI
C82.77-2002 standard.

The average output current mainly depends on the peak current of the main winding. As a rule of thumb, the
average output current can be calculated as
Io 0.29Ip pk

It can be also noted that the switching frequency varies with the instantaneous line voltage and reaches minimum
value when minimum line voltage reaches its peak value. Ignoring the zero crossing detection delay and voltage drop
on the MOSFET, shunt resistor, and the freeweeling diode, the minimum frequency is given by:

where Ton and Toff are the ON and OFF time of the MOSFET respectively; Lp is the inductance value of the inductor

voltage.
Considering the system’s form factor, efficiency, and EMI performance, it is recommended to set minimum
switching frequency to between 80kHz and 100kHz by choosing proper primary inductance value.

Line Regulation
The power factor correction scheme described above also indicates that with higher input voltage, the output
current tends to increase due to higher VR pin voltage. Therefore to produce a stable output current (and lumen
output) versus mains voltage variations it is necessary to implement some compensation scheme to achieve
good line regulation.
In this design, the line regulation is achieved by the IC’s integrated foldback correction function as well as the
circuitry formed by R9, C10, D4, and R13. IC’s ZCV pin is able to detect the input voltage level through R12 and
the Vcc winding (T1’s Pin 7 to Pin8), allowing the IC to vary primary current sense voltage limit according to the
input voltage level. This means the primary current will be decreased when the input voltage increases. The
extent of the compensation can be adjusted with varying the value of R12.
Meanwhile C10, together with D4 and the transformer’s auxiliary winding (Pin1 to Pin8) will produce a negative
voltage which is proportional to the rectified input voltage. With a proper value of R9, the peak voltage level at
the base of Q3, and thus VR pin’s voltage, will be regulated against line voltage variation. The circuit formed by
R14, R15 and ZD3 will add a DC offset to the base of Q2 to prevent it from going to a negative voltage. This
offset alters the peak level of VR’s voltage and as a result determines the output current.
Fine tuning of resistance value of R9 is necessary to provide optimum compensation to the line voltage
variation. As a rule of thumb, R9 can be calculated with the following formula:
N
R9 R8
aux
Np
(4)
where Naux and Np are the number of turns of the coupled inductor T1’s auxiliary winding (Pin1 to Pin8) and
main inductor winding (Pin2 to Pin4) respectively.

Output Waveforms
The single stage PFC design inevitably produces double mains frequency ripple at the output. Increasing output
capacitance value helps reduce output ripple. However, this is often at the expense of the system’s form factor.
In this demo board design, the output capacitor (C9) is sized for an output current ripple which exhibits no
visible light modulation. Figure 6 shows the measured waveforms of output voltage and output current. The
modulation depth of the current ripple is about 25%.

Output Open Circuit Protection
When output is left open (not connecting to LED load) during operation, the output voltage will rise and
accordingly the voltage produced by the auxiliary winding when MOSFET turns off will increase. This voltage is
detected by ZCV pin of ICL8002G via R7 and R12 . Output overvoltage protection will be triggered once this
voltage reaches the OVP threshold (Vzcovp = 3.7 V) and IC will go into Latched Off Mode. The power
consumption during Latched Off Mode is kept below 0.3W.
The output voltage can reach 43V and therefore, it is advised to connect proper LED loads before switching on
the power. Figure 14 shows some waveforms when powering up the LED driver with no load connected.

(C2, red), ZCV signal (C3, blue), and output voltage (C4, green)
Output Short-circuit Protection
In the case of an output short circuit, the IC will switch to Auto Restart Mode by means of VCC undervoltage
detection. Total input power consumption under this condition is below 0.7W. Figure 15 shows the waveforms
when powering up the LED driver with output short circuited.

Common Questions and Troubleshooting Hints
13.1
Q&A
How does ICL8002G realize dimming control and power factor correction?
Both dimming control and PFC are achieved with the input mains voltage sensing with the VR pin. This signal is
used to set the peak current of the primary winding and consequently allows both PFC and phase-cut dimming
functionality by regulating the cycle energy.
Is it possible to test the demo board with different LED modules with big variations in total forward
voltages?
The operation range of output voltage is specified in Table 1. The demo board will switch into protection mode
when tested with LED load with out-of-range forward voltage either due to Vcc overvoltage protection or Vcc
undervoltage protection. Modifications on the transformer design are necessary for applications with different
output voltage.
13.2
Design and Troubleshooting Hints
Why is there no light output after the LED load is connected and power is on?
Please verify the following:
•
•
•
Connectivity of AC input and LED load
LED module’s polarity
Whether LED module’s forward voltage is out of the range specified in Table 1
How to change output current?
The easiest way to set the desired output current is to adjust the VR pin’s voltage and shunt resistor. However,
care must be taken to ensure that the transformer is not driven into saturation. Moreover, the VR pin’s voltage
should be kept below 3.7V for maximum power factor.
How to change the open circuit protection to Auto Restart Mode?
If Auto Restart Mode is preferred for output open circuit protection, R7 and/or R12 can be adjusted so that Vcc
overvoltage threshold (Vvccovp = 25V) is reached first before OVP threshold (Vzcovp = 3.7 V) is reached.
Please note that with changing R12, the voltage foldback correction will be affected and as a result the line
regulation will be affected. In this case R9 can be tuned for better line regulation.
Why is the LED flickering in my dimming application? How to improve?
Flickering can be either caused by IC auto-restart or by dimmer's uneven conduction phase angle. For the autorestart case, the ICL8002G’s Vcc voltage should be maintained between Vvccovp and Vvccoff over the whole
dimming range. This can be achieved by proper transformer turn ratio design and, if necessary, a voltage
regulation circuit for the Vcc. For dimmer’s uneven conduction case, it is advised to tune the damping and
bleeder circuits.
How to improve system efficiency?
For applications which require higher efficiency, first of all, an active damper circuit can be used to replace the
lossy passive damper circuit. Switching frequency can be reduced so as to minimize the switching loss and this
may require bigger inductor size. Low ESR capacitor can be used for the output capacitor to improve efficiency.
Using a higher current rated MOSFET for Q5, however, may not necessarily produce higher efficiency as the
switching loss may dominate the total power loss of the MOSFET.
How to modify the board for non-dimmable LED bulb application?
For non-dimmable application, the highlighted damping and bleeder circuits as shown in Figure 2 can be
removed for better efficiency and cost reduction.

AN-EVALLED-ICL8002G-B2
Phase Cut Dimmable Non-isolated Buck Converter for LED Retrofit Bulb with ICL8002G & CoolMOS™ 600V C6
How to reduce BOM cost?
For low cost application, the active bleeder circuit (formed by R3-R6, C3, C4, ZD1, Q1, and Q2) can be
removed. Please note that dimming performance may be affected. If lightning surge performance requirement is
not stringent, a 250V rated MOSFET can be used for Q2 while a 500V rated MOSFET can be used for Q5 for
cost reduction.
