• Compatibility with SEPIC Topology for
Low Output Voltage Applications
The HV9805 driver integrated circuit (IC) is targeted at
general LED lighting products, such as LED lamps and
LED lighting fixtures with a maximum power rating of
about 25W at 120VAC and about 50W at 230VAC.
Applications
• LED Lamps
• LED Lighting Fixtures
A two-stage topology provides true constant current
drive for the LED load while drawing mains power with
high power factor. The first stage, a boundary
conduction mode boost converter, transfers power
from the AC line to a second stage with high power
factor and high efficiency. The second stage, a linear
regulator arranged for operation with low overhead
voltage, transfers power from the first stage to the LED
load with true constant current and protects the LED
load from overvoltage that may pass from mains to the
output of the first stage.
The IC is particularly geared to drive a high voltage
LED load. An LED load arranged as a high-voltage load
is capable of offering cost advantages in terms of heat
management and optics.
The boost converter employs a cascode switch for
high-speed switching and convenient generation of the
VDD supply. The control device of the cascode switch is
an integral part of the HV9805 and is rated at 700 mA
peak. Current for powering the VDD supply is derived
by way of an internal connection to the cascode switch.
Applications with low output voltage
accommodated using the SEPIC topology.

3.1
Input pin of the bus voltage sense amplifier
VDD Supply Support Pin (VDD)
The VDD supply is not capable of sourcing a significant
current to external circuitry. A significant source of supply current can be created by means of an auxiliary
winding on the boost inductor.
Connect a 10 μF ceramic capacitor between the VDD
and GND pins to provide VDD supply filtering and VDD
supply holdup.
A sizable holdup capacitor is required to maintain an
adequate VDD supply voltage near the zero crossings
of the AC line voltage, where the supply of current to
the VDD supply circuit drops off significantly.
3.2
Input Pins of the First-Stage
Current Sense Amplifier (CSL,
CSH)
The Current Sense Amplifier senses the boost inductor
current for line current-waveform shaping and
detecting the drain voltage valley.
The sense amplifier is arranged as a differential
amplifier featuring unity gain and an output voltage
offset of 1.25V, as seen in Figure 4-3. The offset allows
a negative boost inductor sense voltage to be
processed as a positive voltage. Note that positive
boost inductor current produces negative sense
voltage at the current sense resistor RLBS.
Circuit and Block Diagram. Detection signal amplitude
can be adjusted freely by the CVAL and RVAL selection,
with larger values generating a larger detection signal
from the drain voltage swing. Starting values of 100Ω
and 10pF for RVAL and CVAL are suggested. Provide
detection resistors in both legs of the sense amplifier to
keep the amplifier setup balanced.
The combination of resistors RVAL and RCSA at the
CSH pin can be replaced by a single resistor, RCSH.
Refer to the Typical Application Circuit and to the Block
Diagram for more details.
3.3
Input Pin of the Headroom Voltage
Sense Amplifier (HVS)
Connect the HVS pin to the drain of the constant
current regulator FET with a resistive divider.
The addition of a Zener diode at the HVS pin is required
to protect the HVS pin from an overvoltage condition at
shutdown of the LED driver. Overvoltage at the HVS pin
can occur as the bus capacitor remains charged for a
significant time after shutdown. The headroom voltage
rises significantly as the forward voltage drop across
the LED load drops towards zero. Consequently, the
voltage at the HVS pin rises as well, and may take the
voltage at the HVS pin above its absolute maximum
rating without an external Zener diode in place.
The resistance of each gain setting resistor RCSA is
nominally 10 kΩ. Two of the gain setting resistors are
provided internally to the HV9805, and two are
provided externally. Complete the differential amplifier
setup by adding two RCSA resistors of 10 kΩ and of 1%
tolerance, as indicated in Figure 4-3.
To improve drain voltage valley detection, a second set
of resistors RVAL and a capacitor CVAL can be added to
the amplifier setup, as shown in the Typical Application
 2015 Microchip Technology Inc.
DS20005374A-page 11
HV9805
3.4
Output Pin of the Headroom
Voltage Regulator Control
Amplifier (HVR)
Connect a gain setting network between the HVR pin
and ground to set the response characteristic of the
headroom voltage regulator control amplifier.
3.5
Input Pin of the Second-Stage
Current Sense Amplifier (CRS)
The sense amplifier senses the LED load current for
the purpose of constant current regulation. Connect
this pin to the LED current sense resistor RCRS.
3.6
Output Pin of the Constant
Current Regulator Control
Amplifier (CRG)
Connect to the gate of the constant current regulator
FET.
The control amplifier has a limited output voltage
capability. Use a low threshold FET for the pass
transistor of the current regulator.
3.7
Input Pin of the Bus Voltage Sense
Amplifier (BVS)
Bus voltage is sensed in order to detect an
undervoltage or overvoltage condition.
Connect this pin to the bus voltage node by way of a
resistive voltage divider.
Note:
3.8
The RBVT resistor should be rated for the
bus voltage. A typical approach is to split
RBVT into a series connection of multiple
resistors with lower voltage rating.
Ground Pin (GND)
Ground pin.
3.9
Drive Pin for Control of the Boost
Converter Switch (DRV)
The conduction state of the boost converter switch is
controlled by source switching, as explained in more
detail in Section 4.11.1.2 “Boost Converter Switch”.
Connect the DRV pin to the source terminal of the

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
4.3
4.1
Introduction
To power the internal circuits of the HV9805, the VDD
regulator establishes a VDD supply voltage of about 8V.
VDD Regulator
The HV9805 control IC provides true DC current drive
for LED lamps and fixtures with a simple two-stage
power supply topology, comprised of a boundary mode
boost converter and a linear constant current regulator.
The VDD regulator operates in one of two modes: a
low-efficiency linear mode for start-up of the VDD
supply and a high-efficiency switching mode for regular
operation of the VDD supply.
The constant current regulator removes the influence
of bus voltage variation on the LED current and
protects the LED load from line voltage transients,
which may cause a transient increase in the bus
voltage.
Referring to the Block Diagram, current for operation of
the VDD supply flows from the boost inductor, the
external FET, the DRV pin, an internal diode and two
internal FETs.
The boost converter output voltage is regulated so as
to maintain a sufficient but small headroom voltage at
the pass transistor of the constant current regulator.
The small headroom voltage keeps pass transistor
power dissipation low and overall efficiency high.
The IC is targeted at designs operating at a single line
voltage, such as 120VAC or 230VAC, and does not
support designs for the universal input voltage range.
4.2
Regulator Structure
Operation is supported by a number of feedback
regulators with various operating modes, a state
machine to control these modes and voltage
comparators to control the state machine.
The four regulators of the control IC are:
•
•
•
•
VDD regulator
LED current regulator
Headroom voltage regulator
Line current waveform regulator
When operating in linear mode, the first VDD FET M1
with series resistor is enabled to supply boost inductor
current to the VDD supply. The resistor provides for
gradual charging of the VDD capacitor and prevents
high frequency oscillation in the charging path.
When operating in switching mode, the second VDD
FET M2 is fully enabled in the first part of each boost
converter switching cycle to guide the linearly rising
boost inductor current toward the internal VDD supply
and the VDD capacitor. This first part is terminated by
the turn-on of the DRV FET, which guides the boost
inductor current to ground and effectively terminates
the supply of current to the VDD supply.
The switching VDD regulator section regulates the VDD
supply voltage by adjusting the length of the first part of
the switching cycle, terminating the first part by the
turn-on of the DRV FET.
The regulator logic sets the regulator mode as follows:
• in the IDLE state: linear mode
• in the START state: switching mode
• in the RUN state: switching mode
The state machine of the regulator logic features the
following states:
• IDLE state
• START state
• RUN state
The transition between states is controlled by the
following comparator flags:
•
•
•
•
•

BUSUV, the bus voltage undervoltage flag
BUSOV, the bus voltage overvoltage flag

LED Current Regulator
The LED current regulator regulates the LED current
ILED to a programmable level. The LED current can be
programmed with the aid of Equation 4-1.
EQUATION 4-1:
V REF, CCR = I LED  R CRS
Where:
VREF,CCR = Reference voltage for the LED
current regulator, see DC and AC
Characteristics table
ILED = LED current, see Typical Application
Circuit
RCRS = Sense resistor for sensing the LED
current, see Typical Application
Circuit
The regulator adjusts the conductance of an external
pass FET by adjusting the CRG pin voltage, thereby
adjusting the gate to the source voltage of the FET.
The control amplifier of the LED current regulator has
high bandwidth and is internally compensated.
The regulating amplifier is provided with a two-level
reference (VREF): one at 200 mV, corresponding to
20% of the nominal LED current, and a second one at
1V, corresponding to 100% of the nominal LED current.
The lower level is provided for quick run up of the bus
voltage during the START state.
Feedback is provided by way of a current sense resistor and the current sense voltage at the CRS pin.
The regulator logic controls the regulator mode as
follows:
• IDLE state: 20% reference level (VREF = 200 mV)
• START state: 20% reference level (VREF = 200 mV)
• RUN state: 100% reference level (VREF = 1V)
DS20005374A-page 14
Note 1: The maximum VGS voltage available for
control of the external pass FET is limited
to about 3.5V, a voltage which is
adequate for control of a logic level FET
but generally too low for control of a
standard gate FET. On the gate side of
the pass FET, the maximum CRG pin
voltage is about 4.5V with respect to
ground, while on the source side, the
voltage across the sense resistor is 1.0V
during regular operation.
2: The voltage rating of the pass transistor
need not be as high as the bus voltage.
The operating voltage at the drain of the
pass transistor is low during regular
operation. When the LED current
regulator turns off, the headroom voltage
rises towards the bus voltage. The bus
voltage will divide across the LED load
and the pass transistor according to the
impedance level of both devices, with
both devices carrying little current. A
voltage division will be established based
on the leakage characteristic of both
devices. The voltage across the pass
transistor can be lowered relatively easily
by adding a secondary leakage path in
parallel with the pass transistor. Note that
the feedback divider for the HVS signal
may function as an appropriate pull-down
load for control of the maximum drain
voltage.
3: As the headroom voltage rises after the
LED current regulator shutdown, the voltage at the HVS pin will rise as well. Zener
diode ZHVS clamps the HVS pin voltage
to a voltage within the absolute maximum
rating of the HVS pin.

Headroom Voltage Regulator
Headroom voltage at the LED current regulator is
controlled by the headroom voltage regulator.
Minimize the power dissipation of the LED current
regulator and therefore minimize the DC level of the
headroom voltage (VHDC), the dissipation being
calculated using Equation 4-2.
EQUATION 4-2:
P DIS = ILED  VHDC
Where:
PDIS = Average power dissipation within the
LED current regulator during normal
operation, which includes the dissipation
in the pass transistor MCRX and the
dissipation in the sense resistor RCRS
VHDC = Desired DC level of the headroom
voltage, see Section 4.5.2.
The DC level of the boost converter output voltage, the
bus voltage, adjusts to the sum total of the DC level of
the headroom voltage and the operating voltage of the
LED load. The bus voltage adapts during regular
operation to any changes in the operating voltage of
the LED load.
4.5.1
The headroom voltage regulator includes an internal
control amplifier with external gain setting network, an
internally generated reference voltage and a feedback
voltage, provided at the HVS pin by an external resistor
divider connected at the drain of the LED current
regulator pass FET.
The regulation process can be described as follows:

6.
In order to prevent distortion of the line current, It is
preferable to drive the boundary conduction mode
boost converter with a constant on-time during the
course of a line cycle. Accordingly, variations in on-time
due to headroom voltage variation within the line cycle
should be suppressed by tailoring the frequency
response characteristic of the control amplifier.
A particularly large headroom voltage variation at twice
the line frequency is present due to the pulsating nature
of power delivery from an AC line. The control amplifier
can be effectively compensated with a capacitor in the
1 µF to 10 µF range in series with a 0.1 k to 1 k
resistor. Larger capacitance leads to less on-time
variation and less line current distortion, but slows
down the response to line voltage changes. Larger
resistance leads to larger distortion of the line current
waveform due to a proportional change between the
headroom voltage ripple and the on-time, but results in
better damping of the transient response to a line
voltage or load voltage disturbance.
The headroom voltage is programmed to the desired
level using Equation 4-3.
EQUATION 4-3:
VREF, HVR = V HDC  K DIV
THE REGULATION PROCESS
The headroom voltage regulator adjusts the DC level of
the headroom voltage by adjusting the on-time of the
boost converter switch.
1.
The response characteristic of the control amplifier is
determined by the compensation network at the output
of the control amplifier.
A deviation of the headroom voltage from the
desired headroom voltage produces a current at
the output of the control amplifier in proportion to
the deviation.
The current produces a change in the output
voltage at the control amplifier output.
The change in voltage at the control amplifier
output produces a change in the boost converter
switch on-time.
The change in on-time produces a change in the
boost converter output current.
The change in the boost converter output current produces a change in the bus voltage.
The change in the bus voltage then reduces the
deviation in headroom voltage.

REQUIRED HEADROOM VOLTAGE
The desired DC level of the headroom voltage is a
trade-off between the efficiency of the LED current
regulator and the size of the bus capacitor.
A smaller bus capacitor reduces cost, but leads to
larger headroom voltage ripple. The larger ripple
requires a larger DC level of the headroom voltage,
leading to higher dissipation within the LED current
regulator. The larger dissipation reduces efficiency, and
vice versa.
The desired DC level for the headroom voltage should
be greater than the sum of the peak bus voltage ripple
and the voltage which appears across the LED current
sense resistor (1V).
EQUATION 4-6:
VHDC   V BUS + V CRS 
Where:
VBUS = Peak ripple of the bus voltage VBUS, for
VBUS see Typical Application Circuit
VCRS = Current sense resistor voltage,
effectively equivalent to the VREF,CCR
during normal operation, see DC and
AC Characteristics table
The bus voltage ripple is generally dominated by a
quasi sinusoidal ripple component at twice mains
frequency (100 Hz or 120 Hz). This ripple component
originates from the pulsating nature of the AC power
delivery.
For example, suppose that the peak amplitude of the
bus voltage ripple amounts to 5V. Then, given an
additional voltage drop across the current sense
resistor of 1V, a headroom voltage of at least 6V is
required to keep the LED current regulator in regulation
throughout the mains line cycle.
The amplitude of the bus voltage ripple is directly
related to the size of the bus capacitor. The ripple
voltage can be estimated for a given value of the bus
capacitor as shown in Equation 4-7.

HV9805
The boost converter produces an output current which,
in average, is equal to the LED current, but oscillates
between zero and twice this average at a rate of twice
the line frequency. Therefore, the DC level and the
peak ripple current amplitude of the LED current are
about equal.
The load of the boost converter is essentially a
capacitor in parallel with a current sink. The load
behaves more or less like a true integrator giving falling
gain of 20 dB per decade and 90° phase shift. For
stability of the control loop, the error amplifier should
not add another 90° of phase shift in the loop around
the crossover frequency. Therefore, a proportional gain
is generally required to give an adequate phase margin
around the crossover frequency. An integrating term at
lower frequency is required to give the loop high DC
accuracy.
The headroom voltage regulator operates in a number
of modes according to the state of the regulator logic:
• in the IDLE state:
- the output of the control amplifier is
grounded, resulting in zero on-time
command. The boost converter is effectively
off.
• in the START state:
- the output of the control amplifier is open and
an internal 10 µA source is enabled to allow
gradual charging of the external gain setting
network to an output voltage of about 1V.
• in the RUN state:
- the control amplifier is active, sourcing and
sinking current into the gain setting network
for closed-loop control of the headroom
voltage.
4.6
Line Current Waveform Regulator
The line current waveform regulator is provided to
minimize the harmonic distortion of the line current
waveform using a feedback control technique. The
regulator adjusts the on-time command signal
throughout the AC line cycle to minimize line current
distortion.
The only user configuration required is to provide
sufficient amplitude to the boost inductor current sense
signal, as provided to the boost inductor current sense
amplifier. The boost inductor waveform is sensed in the
return path of the bridge rectifier. Adjust the sense
resistor RLBS for a peak amplitude of 1V or less.
The line current waveform regulator interprets the
on-time command signal as a reference for the line
current amplitude. A sampling unit within the line
current waveform regulator samples the rising boost
inductor current of each switching cycle at an instant
which is proportional to this on-time reference signal.
The sampled value is proportional to the line voltage
and, given that the line voltage is generally of
sinusoidal shape, the series of samples has a
sinusoidal envelope as well. Accordingly, a sinusoidal
reference for the line current waveform is constructed
by sampling the boost inductor current.
An error amplifier within the line current waveform
regulator compares the line current reference with an
averaged version of the true boost inductor current.
The average represents the line current as drawn from
the AC line. Discrepancy between the reference and
true current is accumulated by an internal control
amplifier and translated into an on-time correction
signal. The correction signal is added to the on-time
command signal as received from the headroom
voltage regulator.
In practice, a marked increase in on-time is required
near the zero-crossing of the line voltage.

• The LED current regulator reference is adjusted

• The control amplifier of the headroom voltage
regulator output is enabled and regulating the
boost converter switch on-time in closed-loop
mode.
Boost Converter Operation
The boost converter is operated in boundary
conduction mode with a nominally constant on-time.
Such an operating mode inherently produces a line
current with the same shape and phase as the line
voltage, thus resulting in high power factor operation.
Idealized waveforms are shown in Figure 4-2.
Boundary conduction mode refers to an operating
mode where the inductor current IBST starts from zero
and ends at zero, over the course of a switching cycle,
thus tracing out a triangular waveform.
The logic reverts to the IDLE state if the STOP signal is
true, indicating loss of VDD, bus overvoltage or bus
undervoltage.
Note that HVSOK is ignored in the RUN state. Loss of
headroom voltage is no reason for immediate concern.
Maintaining the RUN state allows the headroom
voltage regulator to adjust the on-time, should the DC
level of the headroom voltage be less than desired. In
addition, HVSOK alternates between true and false
during regular operation, as the headroom voltage
alternates between being higher and lower than the
target headroom voltage.

The average value of a triangular-shaped current is by
nature half the peak amplitude. A low-pass filter and a
bridge rectifier shape the triangular boost inductor
current into a more or less ripple-free line current, with
an amplitude which is equal to half of the peak inductor
current.
VALLEY SWITCHING
The
driver
incorporates
valley
switching
(quasi-resonant switching), a technique for reducing
switching loss at the turn-on event of the boost FET.
Valley switching adds a third part to the basic boost
inductor waveform where the drain voltage is allowed
to swing down towards ground, as shown in Figure 4-3.
Whereas the on-time period is constant, the off-time
period changes throughout the line cycle, with the
off-time becoming longer as the line voltage increases
toward the bus voltage. Accordingly, the switching
frequency varies over the line cycle, being lowest at
peak line voltage and highest near the zero crossing of
the line voltage.

The three parts of the switching cycle, as shown in
Figure 4-3, are as follows:
• A – IBST rising linearly; VDRN near zero
• B – IBST falling linearly; VDRN near VBUS
• C – IBST reversing; VDRN falling towards ground
The reversal of the boost inductor current occurs
naturally after the boost inductor has returned to zero if
the switching FET is maintained in the off state. The
resonance is driven by capacitively stored energy at
the drain node. Figure 4-3 indicates the voltage
waveform which would result if the drain voltage
resonance is allowed to continue for more than one half
cycle.
For designs where the difference between the bus
voltage and the peak of the rectified line voltage is not
all that great, it is required to add a secondary signal to
aid the detection. The Block Diagram and the Typical
Application Circuit include the CVAL capacitor and the
RVAL resistor. The Resistor Capacitor (RC) network
generates a signal which is the time derivative of the
drain voltage, thus being of the exact same shape and
phase as the boost inductor current swing during the
resonance interval. A diode clamping network may be
required to prevent overdrive of the sense amplifier
when the drain voltage makes fast transitions, such as
during turn-off of the boost converter switch.
The drain voltage falls either part way or all the way to
ground depending on the magnitude of the rectified
voltage and the bus voltage. The larger the difference
between the rectified line voltage and the bus voltage,
the larger the drain voltage swing.
4.11.1.2
The drain voltage swings partially to ground when the
rectified line voltage is closer to the bus voltage; the
drain voltage swings fully to ground when the rectified
line voltage is closer to ground. Either way, a gain in
efficiency is attained as the capacitively stored energy
at the drain node is returned in part or as a whole to the
line input capacitor.
4.11.1.1
Detection of the Valley
The detection of the valley involves the boost inductor
current sense amplifier, a voltage comparator and an
edge detector.
The current sense amplifier is arranged as a differential
amplifier which follows the boost inductor sense signal
with a gain of one and adds an offset voltage of about
1.25V (RCSA = 10 k) to keep the amplifier output in
positive territory. Note that the boost inductor sense
signal itself is predominantly of negative polarity when
boost inductor current flows in the resistor in the
indicated direction. The offset of 1.25V allows sensing
of a negative voltage with 1.25V amplitude at sense
resistor node S, as shown in Figure 4-3.
The polarity comparator indicates when the boost
inductor current turns negative by comparing the output
of the sense amplifier with the 1.25V offset level.
Detection of negative polarity results in arming of the
valley strobe generator. A strobe is generated when the
boost inductor current turns back to positive polarity.
This detection technique requires that the amplitude of
the negative boost inductor current and thereby the
drain voltage swing exceed some minimum value (for
example, 25V).
DS20005374A-page 22
Boost Converter Switch
The driver employs source driving for control of the
conduction state of the boost converter FET.
This method is also known as cascode switching,
where a low-voltage FET is arranged in series with a
high voltage FET. The cascode switch configuration is
capable of fast and low loss switching and is
furthermore capable of providing a low loss source of
current for powering the VDD supply.
The conduction state of a FET is determined by its
gate-to-source voltage. The gate of the external high
voltage FET is permanently biased for full conduction
by the external biasing network (RBST, CBST, ZBST). A
voltage of at least 15V should be provided at the gate
of the external high voltage FET in a HV9805
application.
The source voltage of the external high voltage FET is
controlled by the voltage at the DRV pin. In turn, the
voltage of the DRV pin is controlled by a number of
low-voltage FETs internal to the driver, namely the DRV
FET and two VDD regulator FETs.
 2015 Microchip Technology Inc.
HV9805
4.11.1.3
External FET Conduction Modes
Ideally, the external high voltage FET is biased for the
Full Conduction mode during switching operation of the
boost converter.
Conduction of the DRV FET causes the voltage of the
DRV pin to be near ground potential, resulting in a
gate-to-source voltage of 15V, if the gate of the external
high-voltage FET is biased at 15V. Accordingly, the
gate-to-source voltage of the external high-voltage FET
is well in excess of the threshold voltage of a typical
high-voltage FET. Consequently, the external
high-voltage FET and the cascode switch as a whole
are conducting in the Full Conduction mode.
Conduction of the VDD FET causes the DRV pin
voltage to be close to the sum of the VDD voltage, one
diode forward voltage drop and the voltage drop across
the on-resistance of the FET. If the resulting
gate-to-source voltage for the external high voltage is
in excess of the threshold voltage of the high-voltage
FET, then the cascode switch, which consists of the
external high-voltage FET and the VDD FET, conducts
in full mode during VDD capacitor charging as well.
Under certain circumstances, a bias voltage greater
than 15V is required to attain full conduction of the
external FET and the VDD FET at the gate of the
external high-voltage FET. When an external
high-voltage FET has a high threshold voltage or when
the LED driver is designed for a high power level, VDD
charges with shorter charging times and higher current
levels. The higher current levels raise the voltage drop
across the on-resistance of the VDD regulator FET and
raise the DRV pin voltage, reducing the gate-to-source
voltage of the external high-voltage FET.
4.11.1.4
DRV Pin Voltage Clamp
The voltage at the DRV pin may exceed the absolute
maximum rating of the DRV pin voltage during the
turn-off transition, due to a fast rising drain voltage of
the external high-voltage FET and its parasitic
capacitance. As the drain voltage of the external FET
rises, so will the drain voltage of the internal FETs. The
extent is determined by the ratio of device
capacitances and is difficult to calculate.
It is advisable to provide a form of voltage clamping at
the DRV pin to clamp the drain voltage to a level below
the maximum voltage rating of the pin. The voltage
clamping can be arranged in a number of ways, such
as adding an external Zener diode between the DRV
pin and ground, adding a small capacitor at the DRV
pin to ground, or adding a diode from the DRV pin to the
Zener diode of the bias network of the external
high-voltage FET.

4.11.1.5
Overcurrent Protection
of the DRV FET
The internal DRV FET is provided with cycle-by-cycle
overcurrent protection to protect the internal DRV FET.
The DRV FET is turned off upon detection of an
overcurrent condition. The overcurrent comparator
signal is blanked for a short time after the start of the
DRV FET conduction time to avoid nuisance tripping of
the overcurrent protection.
4.11.1.6
On-Time
On-time for the boost converter switch is provided as
the sum of two parts.
The headroom voltage regulator provides the first part
to the switch on-time, which is regulated with low
bandwidth to control the headroom voltage DC level.
This part of switch on-time, which is nearly constant
over an AC line cycle, results in a near sinusoidal line
current waveform when the boost converter operates in
the boundary conduction mode as discussed in
Section 4.11 “Boost Converter Operation”.
In practice, the constant switch on-time results in
significant line current distortion near the zero
crossings of the AC line voltage. A significant boost in
switch on-time is required near the line voltage zero
crossings to reduce this line current distortion.
The line current waveform regulator provides the
second part to the switch on-time, which is regulated
with high bandwidth to lower line current distortion.
The line current waveform regulator generates a
sinusoidal reference for the line current with an
amplitude which is controlled by the first part of switch
on-time. It then generates the second part of switch
on-time to reduce the line current distortion, which
minimizes the difference between the reference current
and average boost inductor current.
The on-time modulator of the boost converter is
designed for a nominal on-time (TONN) of 2.7 µs, for
more information see the DC and AC Characteristics
table. The nominal on-time was selected to correspond
to a switching frequency of around 70 kHz.
4.11.1.7
Maximum On-Time
The adjustment in on-time, as provided by the line
current waveform regulator, is particularly large around
the zero crossings of the line voltage. In order to
prevent excessive switch on-time values, an internal
timer is provided to limit on-time to the maximum
on-time specification TONH of around 10 µs.
DS20005374A-page 23
HV9805
4.11.1.8
Maximum Off-Time
An internal timer limits maximum off-time to the
maximum off-time specification TOFH of around 100 µs.
The timer triggers the start of the switching cycle if no
drain voltage valley is detected within the maximum
off-time period. This timer is instrumental in starting the
switching process upon the startup of the boost
converter, and restarting the process if valley detection
is lost due to insufficient drain voltage swing.
4.11.1.9
Boost Inductor Size
A starting value for the boost inductor LBST can be
derived from the following set of equations:
EQUATION 4-8:
PAC = V AC, RMS  I AC, RMS
I AC,PEAK =
2  I AC, RMS
VAC,PEAK =
2  VAC, RMS
I SWI,PEAK = 2  I AC, PEAK
VAC, PEAK  T ONN
I SWI,PEAK = ------------------------------------------L BST
2
resolving:
1 V AC, RMS  T ON, NOM
L BST = ---  -------------------------------------------------P AC
2
Where:
PAC = Desired power capability of the
boost converter
VAC,RMS = RMS line voltage
IAC,RMS = RMS line current
VAC,PEAK = Peak line voltage
IAC,PEAK = Peak line current
ISWI,PEAK = Peak switch current
TONN = Nominal on-time, see DC and
AC Characteristics table
The above starting value is generally too large and
should be adjusted downward for the following two
main reasons:
• to compensate for component losses
• the presence of valley switching.
The presence of valley switching causes an effective
loss of power capability, as the drain voltage resonance
does not contribute to the transfer of power. The effect
of valley switching is detailed in Section 5.2 “Practical
Power Rating of the BCM Boost Converter”.

• a peak switch current of 700 mA
• zero component losses
• no implementation of valley switching.
The maximum power handling of the boost converter
depends on several factors including:
•
•
•
•
the AC line voltage
the current rating of the internal switch
the presence of component losses
the presence of valley switching.

Assuming zero component loss and absence of valley switching, as a function of AC line voltage.
Practical Power Rating
of the BCM Boost Converter
The maximum power level of an HV9805 boundary
mode boost converter design will be lower than the
levels listed in Table 5-1. This is due to the presence of
valley switching and is estimated to be 25W for 120VAC
design, and 50W for 230VAC design.
A major loss of power capability is caused by the
presence of valley switching. Valley switching lowers
the attainable power rating because the third part of the
switching cycle does not contribute to the transfer of
power; in fact, it returns a small portion of the
transferred power back to the converter input, as is
evident by the negative boost inductor current.
Furthermore, power rating drops if operation at low line
is taken into consideration. As can be seen from
Table 5-1, the power rating of the BCM boost converter
drops from 29.7W to 25.3W when the line voltage has
a 15% decrease for a 120VAC design.
5.3
Choice of Bus Voltage and LED
Load Voltage
The drain voltage valley is detected by monitoring the
polarity reversals of the boost inductor current. A small
difference between the bus voltage and the rectified
line voltage can lead to an insufficient amplitude of the
resonating boost inductor current. Accordingly, a
 2015 Microchip Technology Inc.
certain minimum difference should be maintained
between the rectified line voltage and the output
voltage of the boost converter.
A minimum voltage for the LED string voltage of
210VDC is suggested for 120VAC applications and
420VDC for 230VAC applications, where operation for
a high-line condition of +15% over nominal is assumed.
The need for a large differential between the (peak) line
voltage and the boost converter output voltage can be
reduced by adding the CVAL and RVAL circuit at the
boost inductor current sense amplifier, as outlined in
Section 3.2 “Input Pins of the First-Stage Current
Sense Amplifier (CSL, CSH)”.
5.4
Maximum Power Rating
of a SEPIC Driver
The power rating of the SEPIC converter is lower than
the power rating of the boost converter for a given peak
current rating of the converter switch. The switch in a
SEPIC configuration carries the output current as well
as the input current during switch on-time, thereby
lowering the input power capability.
Accordingly, the maximum power of a SEPIC design is
less than the maximum power rating of a boost design.
