Typical Application Circuit
Figure 3
Application Circuit of a LED Driver in a Floating BUCK Topology
Description
The ICL8201 is a cascode structure current mode controller for non-isolated single-choke floating BUCK
topologies. The device is tailored for LED applications and provides constant current operation with low output
current ripple in a real universal line input voltage range as well as load compensation for a wide output voltage
range.
The low PIN count PG-SOT23-6-1 package supports small form factor and low-cost designs. The high level of
integration enables a minimum of effort for addition of external components. The ICL8201 control concept
supports DC and AC input as well as high Power Factor Correction (PFC), high efficiency levels and reduced
EMI designs in critical conduction operation mode without zero crossing detection winding. Along with
outstanding integrated regulation and protection features, the cascode arrangement simplifies VCC supply of the
IC, that eliminates the need of a depletion MOS. The regulation is done without detecting the AC line input
voltage or sensing the output voltage. All these features are implemented with a minimum amount of external
components. The device operates in a wide junction temperature range from -25°C to 150°C. The highly
efficient integrated low-voltage MOSFET will eliminate the need for any additional thermal management.

Functional Description

Internal Functional Description
4.2.1
VCC Pre-Charging and Typical VCC voltage profile During Start-up
In ICL8201, a startup cell is not needed. As shown in Figure 4, once the mains input voltage is applied, a
rectified voltage VBUS appears across the capacitor CIN. The pull up resistor RGD provides a current to charge the
CGD capacitor and gradually generate one voltage level for the gate of external power MOSFET Q1. If voltage
over CGD is high enough, VCC capacitor will be charged through external LED load, choke inductor LBUCK,
external power MOSFET Q1, and diode DVCC. Because capacitor CGD is quite small (around 10nF), so charging
this capacitor and consequently charging VCC capacitor CVCC will be within very short time. There is one zener
diode, DZGD which is used to clamp voltage over CGD and its breakdown voltage can be 12V, so during startup,
VCC voltage will be charged up to 12V - Vthreshold - VF (where Vthreshold is threshold voltage of power MOSFET Q1
and VF is forward voltage of DVCC).
When VCC voltage reach UVLO turn-on threshold (which is 7.5V), the whole chip will be turned on and system
will enter into normal operation after soft start. During normal operation, VCC capacitor will be charged through
bypass capacitor CDS and power MOSFET (when VCC is lower than 12V - Vthreshold - VF).
Figure 4
VCC voltage at start up
When the VCC voltage exceeds the VCC turned-on threshold VVCC.ON at time t1, the IC begins to operate with softstart. VCC capacitor will be charged through bypass capacitor CDS, as shown in Figure 6. After some time, when
VCC voltage is high enough, it will be clamped by the external Zener diode DZGD.

ICL8201
AC/DC Buck Controller with PFC for LED Lamps
Functional Description
As shown in Figure 7, at time ton, the IC begins to operate with a soft-start. By using this soft-start, the switching
stresses for the switch, diode and choke inductor are minimized. The Soft-Start implemented in ICL8201 is a
digital time-based function. The preset soft-start time is tSS (24ms) with 4 steps. If not limited by other functions,
the peak voltage on Vcs pin will increase step by step from 0.1V to 0.4V finally.
After soft start, the peak VCS is limited by 0.9V current limitation.
4.2.3
Normal Regulation Operation

4.2.4
Zero Current Detection
In the ICL8201 system, when power MOSFET is being turned on, current through choke inductor LBUCK will
linearly ramp up, when power MOSFET is being turned off, current through choke inductor will linearly ramp
down until 0A.
Later when current through choke inductor reaches 0A, system will start to oscillate. In order to turn on power
MOSFET when current through choke inductor reduce to 0A, it is necessary to do zero current detection for
system.
As shown in Figure 9, zero current detection is achieved by the following circuit.

Functional Description
Figure 8
Zero current detection circuit implemented in ICL8201
The above block diagram shown in Figure 9, where capacitor CDS is used to couple the high frequency signal to
IC Drain and internally IC will accept the oscillation signal and do zero current detection. Internally, capacitor C1
will be used to further couple oscillation signal at DRAIN pin into low voltage signal; current source I1 and
operational amplifier is used to ensure the maximum Vcross voltage to be 1.4V when there is no oscillation at the
Drain pin; diode D1 is used to clamp point Vcross voltage not lower than -0.7V when power MOSFET is being
turned on; when there is some high frequency signal transferred to point Vcross, the Vcross will be pulled down,
and there is one comparator which is used to detect if Vcross is lower than 1.0V. When Vcross is lower than 1.0V,
zero current point is detected. The typical DRAIN voltage Slew Rate necessary for zero current detection is
50V/µs for a delta VDRAIN of 0.5V and 2.5V/µs for a delta VDRAIN of 0.8V.
As shown in Figure 10, upper side power MOSFET drain voltage and lower side power MOSFET drain & current

From the above block diagram, at first VCS peak voltage is sample and hold, which will be applied to one Voltage
to Current converter block, this voltage to Current converter block includes OPAMP A3, NMOS transistor N4 and
resistor R2.
The current ICSpeak will be equal to VCSpeak / R2. This ICSpeak will be mirrored by P2 and P3 into 7-times current
source to charge external capacitor CON. Also there is one resistor R3 which is connected from Con to GND. The
external CON works together with this internal resistor R3 establish the Con voltage which will be applied to the
internal coarse and fine tuning block to determine the ON time, TON.
4.2.7
ON time generation
ICL8201 uses constant on time control method, it can accept universal input voltage with wide output voltage
range. The On time range is between 0.8µs and 20µs. The On Time is preset to 800ns during start up. The
percentage of On time change is dependent on VCon voltage. VCon voltage is sensed every 12ms typically. The
percentage of On time change with respect to VCon voltage is shown in Table 2.

How to calculate output average current
The average of the VCS peak voltage divided by external sense resistor RCS will be the 2 times of the average
current through choke inductor. Output average current only depends on sense resistor value, in order to get
target output average current, equation 5.1 can be followed
.
. ×(
)
(5.1)
Where Rcs is sense resistor value and 3.5 is Peak VCS amplifier gain, 1.5V is CON threshold voltage.
4.2.9
Leading Edge Blanking
Figure 12
Leading Edge Blanking
Whenever the power MOSFET is switched on, a leading edge spike is generated due to parasitic capacitances.
This spike can cause the gate drive to switch off unintentionally. In order to avoid a premature termination of the
switching pulse, this spike is blanked out with a time constant of tLEB=205ns.
4.2.10
Driver Stage
Cascode topology is adopted in ICL8201 system, one fixed voltage (for example: 12V) is applied to the Gate of
the upper side power MOSFET, then if lower side power MOSFET is turned on, the whole current path will be
turned on; if lower side power MOSFET is turned off, the whole current path will also be turned off.

Start-Up behaviour
4.3.1.1
Start-Up: Into Normal Operation
Start-up is executed in 3 phases: UVLO, power-up and soft start, as shown in figure 14. When the bus voltage is
applied, the VCC capacitor CVCC is charged up until VCC reaches the VCC ‘ON’ threshold of VCC.ON = 7.5 V. After
exceeding this threshold, the IC powers up into the soft start. VCON is charged up, the internal MOSFET starts
switching.
There is one fast charge function which is used to charge Con pin quickly to 1.5V after IC start to work.

Start-Up: Soft-Start Phase
During the digital Soft-Start phase, the current sensing voltage VCS is limited from 0.1 V up to 0.4 V. After the
soft start phase (24 ms), the peak current sensing voltage threshold is set to VCS = 0.9 V for current limitation.
Two additional thresholds are set in order to detect output short and short winding conditions. The first set to be
VCSthShort = 0.6 V with no zero current detection as protection against short OUTPUT and second set to be
VCSthShort = 1.2 V when a short winding at the BUCK choke, LBUCK, happens. In figure 15, shows the voltage
behavior during start-up into normal operation.

Start-Up: Short Output
During the digital Soft-Start phase, a short output is detected when the current sensing voltage VCS exceeds the
VCSthShort = 0.6 V threshold and the internal zero current detection signal is missing. The controller stops working
after a consecutive 126 switching cycles and enters into the LATCH OFF mode.

Start-Up: Floating Load Protection
There is no effective floating load protection available. The risks during open or floating load are that
the output voltage will be charged to the same voltage as input. If output capacitor, COUT, is not selected
above the rated input voltage, it is recommended to include an output clamp circuit to prevent output
capacitor, COUT, from operating above its rated voltage during open or floating load conditions.
An open output (floating load) is detected when the current sensing voltage VCS stays below VCSthFLP = 0.12 V for
24 ms (soft start time) + 160 ms. After this blanking time, the controller stops working and enters into the LATCH
OFF mode.

Intelligent Over-Temperature Protection (iOTP)
The chart below shows the digital integrated intelligent over-temperature protection. In the event of overheating
of the IC (Tj > 150 °C), the integrated thermal sensing on the IC reduces the output current (black signal) in 7
digital steps down to 50% of the target value of IOUT. This thermal downgrading is independent of time. When
the temperature decreases, the IC returns in reverse into the value which is allowed, or back to the target value
of IOUT. If the temperature continues to increase and exceeds Tj > 160 °C, the IC will enter LATCH OFF mode.
