AN3106 Application note 48 V - 130 W high-efficiency converter with PFC for LED street lighting applications By Claudio Spini Introduction The use and growing popularity of LEDS, thanks to their high efficiency and very long lifetime, are driving the innovation of different types of lamps and contributing to the reduction of energy consumption for internal and external lighting. Streetlight applications require that the power supply designed to power an LED lamp must have high efficiency and at least an equivalent lifetime in order to guarantee maintenance-free operation during the life of the LED. This application note describes the characteristics and features of a 130 W evaluation board (STEVAL-ILL053V1), tailored to an LED power supply specification for street lighting. The circuit is composed of two stages: a front-end PFC using the L6562AT and an LLC resonant converter based on the L6599AT. The strengths of this design are very high efficiency, wide input mains range (85 - 305 VAC) operation and long-term reliability. Because reliability (MTBF - “mean time between failures”) in power supplies is typically affected by the high failure rate of electrolytic capacitors unless using very expensive types, this board shows a very innovative design approach. The board doesn't implement any electrolytic capacitors, but uses instead film capacitors from EPCOS. Component de-rating has been also carefully applied during the design phase, decreasing the stress of the components as recommended by the MIL-HDBK-217D. The number of components, thanks to the use of the new devices L6562AT and L6599AT has also been minimized, thus increasing the MTBF and optimizing the total component cost. Thanks to the high efficiency achieved, just a small heatsink for the PFC stage is needed, while the other power components are SMT (surface mount technology) like most of the passive components, thus decreasing the production labor cost. The board also has protection features in case of overload, short-circuit, open loop by each stage or input overvoltage. For this particular application, all protections in case of intervention have an auto-restart functionality. Figure 1.

The PFC power topology is a conventional boost converter, connected to the output of the rectifier bridge D3. It is completed by the coil L1, manufactured by MAGNETICA, the diode D2 and the capacitors C5, C6 and C7 in parallel. The PFC output capacitors are film type, 5 µF - 800 V manufactured by EPCOS. Using film capacitors to replace the typical electrolytic capacitors allows increasing considerably the MTBF of the board. The boost switch is represented by the power MOSFET Q2. The board is equipped with an input EMI filter necessary to filter the commutation noise coming from the boost stage. The PFC implements the controller L6562AT, a small and inexpensive controller that is guaranteed for operation over a wide temperature range. At startup, the L6562AT is supplied by the startup resistors R5, R8, R13 charging the capacitor C13. Once the PFC begins switching, a charge pump connected to the auxiliary winding of the PFC inductor L1 supplies both PFC and resonant controllers via a small linear regulator implemented by Q1. Once both stages have been activated, the controllers are supplied also by the auxiliary winding of the resonant transformer, assuring correct supply voltage during operation of all load conditions. The L1 auxiliary winding is also connected to the L6562AT pin #5 (ZCD) through the resistor R18. Its purpose is to provide the information that L1 has demagnetized, needed by the internal logic for triggering a new switching cycle. The PFC boost peak current is sensed by resistors R33 and R34 in series to the MOSFET source. The signal is fed into pin #4 (CS) of the L6562AT, via the filter R27 and C16. The divider R7, R12, R14 and R22 provides the L6562AT multiplier with the information of the instantaneous mains voltage that is used to modulate the peak current of the boost. The resistors R2, R6, R9 with R15 and R16 are dedicated to sense the output voltage and feed to the L6562AT the feedback information necessary to maintain the output voltage regulated. The components C11, R20 and C12 constitute the error amplifier compensation network necessary to keep the required loop stability. DocID016775 Rev 3 3/31 31 Main characteristics and circuit description 1.2 AN3106 Resonant power stage The downstream converter is a resonant LLC half-bridge stage working with 50 percent fixed duty cycle and variable frequency. It implements the ST L6599AT, integrating all functions necessary to properly control the resonant topology. The resonant transformer, manufactured by MAGNETICA, uses the integrated magnetic approach, so the leakage inductance is used for resonant operation of the circuit. Thus, no external, additional coil is needed for the resonance. The transformer secondary winding configuration is the typical center tap, using a couple of power Schottky rectifiers type STPS10150CG. The output capacitors are film type, 4.7 µF - 63 V from EPCOS. As for the PFC stage, using film capacitors allows considerably increasing the MTBF of the board. A small LC filter has been added on the output, in order to filter the high-frequency ripple. D21, D22, R55 constitute a voltage-controlled bleeder. In case of no-load operation of the SMPS, this circuit provides a bleeder limiting the output voltage from increasing, but not affecting the efficiency during normal operation. Please note that the converter has not been designed to work in this condition and therefore its mains consumption is not optimized (~3 W). 1.3 Startup sequence The PFC acts as master and therefore starts first. The resonant stage operates only if the PFC is delivering the nominal output voltage to prevent the resonant converter from working with an insufficient input voltage that can cause incorrect capacitive mode operation. Thus, both stages are designed to work according to this sequence. For correct sequencing the L6599AT makes use of the LINE pin (#7) to sense the PFC output voltage via a resistor divider. The L6599AT LINE pin (#7) has an internal comparator which has a hysteresis allowing to set independently the turn-on and turn-off voltage. At startup the LLC stage starts once the PFC output voltage reaches ~ 430 V, while the turn-off threshold has been set to ~330 V. 1.4 Output voltage feedback loop The output voltage is kept stable by means of a feedback loop implementing a typical circuit using a TS2431 modulating the current in the optocoupler diode. On the primary side, R43 - connecting pin RFMIN (#4) to the optocoupler's phototransistor allows modulating the L6599AT oscillator frequency, thus keeping the output voltage regulated. It also sets the maximum switching frequency at about 130 kHz. R42, that connects the same pin to ground, sets the minimum switching frequency. The R-C series R37 and C24 sets both soft-start maximum frequency and duration. 4/31 DocID016775 Rev 3 AN3106 Main characteristics and circuit description All evaluation boards implement the voltage loop circuitry previously described but in case a current loop is also required, it can be achieved by implementing the following modifications: • Replace R30 and R31 0R0 Ω resistors with sensing resistors, 0R033 and 0R039 respectively, both 0805 • Populate on PCB U4 and the relevant components shown on the schematic as N.M: C36 = 1N0-0805; C37 = 100NF-0805; R51 = 15R-0805; R56 = 1K0-0805; R6 = 22K-1206; C41 = 2N2-0805; U5 = SEA05TR • Remove TS2431AILT With these modifications the circuit is able to keep the output current constant at 2.7 A down to an output voltage value around 30 V. This function can be used to optimize the voltage drop and power dissipation in case current linear regulators are used to regulate the current flowing in each LED strip. If the output current is lower, the voltage loop will take over the operation, regulating the output voltage at its nominal value as when using the TS2431AILT. 1.5 Overload and short-circuit protection The current flowing into the primary winding, proportional to the output load, is sensed by the lossless circuit C34, R53, D19, D18, R57, and C35 and it is fed into the ISEN pin (#6) of L6599AT. In case of overcurrent, the voltage on the pin will exceed an internal threshold (0.8 V), triggering a protection sequence. The capacitor (C21) connected to the DELAY pin (#2) is charged by an internal 150 µA current generator. If the voltage on the pin reaches 2 V, the soft-start capacitor is completely discharged so that the switching frequency is pushed to its maximum value. As the voltage on the pin exceeds 3.5 V the IC stops switching and the internal generator is turned off, so that the voltage on the DELAY pin will decay because of the external resistor connected between the pin and GND. The L6599AT will be softrestarted as the voltage drops below 0.3 V. In this way, under short-circuit conditions, the converter will work intermittently with low input average power and thus limiting the stress of components during shorts. 1.6 Overvoltage and open loop protection Both circuit stages, PFC and resonant, are equipped with their own overvoltage protections. The PFC controller L6562AT implements an overvoltage protection against the output voltage variation occurring in case of transients, due to the poor bandwidth of the error amplifier. Unfortunately it cannot protect the circuit in case of a feedback loop failure like disconnection or deviation from the nominal value of the feedback loop divider. If a similar failure condition is detected, the L6599AT pin DIS (#8) stops the operation and also stops the PFC operation by means of the L6599AT pin PFC_STOP (#9) connected to the L6562AT pin INV (#1). The converter operation will be latched until the VCC capacitors are discharged, then a new startup sequence will automatically take place and the converter will resume operation if the failure is removed or a new sequence is triggered. The same sequence occurs also in case of input voltage transients that may damage the converter. The DIS pin is also used to protect the resonant stage against loop failures. The Zener diode D17 detects the auxiliary voltage generated by the LLC transformer. In case a loop failure occurs, it conducts and the voltage on pin DIS exceeds the internal threshold, latching off the device. The L6562AT operation will be stopped too by the PFC_STOP pin, like in the previous case and then after some time the circuit will restart.

At 115 VAC and full load the overall efficiency is 90.96%. It increases up to 93.38% at 230 VAC, confirming that this reference design is suitable for high-efficiency power supplies. The efficiency has been measured at 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%, and the average efficiency according to the ES-2 standard has been calculated. As shown in Table 1 it is very high at both nominal mains.

Therefore, this evaluation board has been tested according to the European norm EN61000-3-2 ClassC and Japanese norm JEITA_MITI Class-C both relevant to lighting equipment, at full load and nominal input voltage mains. The measurements are shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6. Figure 5. STEVAL-ILL053V1 evaluation board: compliance to EN61000-3-2 Class-C standard 0HDVXUHGYDOXH Figure 6.

The input current harmonics measurement at 25 W (minimum input power to be compliant with the previously mentioned rules is 25 W) shows that even if the power supply is working from its typical operating region, it is still compliant with the EN61000-3-2 Class-C limits.

In both figures it is visible that the envelope of the CS pin (#4) waveforms of the L6562AT is in phase with the MULT pin (3#) and has same sinusoidal shape, demonstrating the proper functionality of the PFC stage. It is also possible to measure the peak-to-peak value of the voltage ripple superimposed on the PFC output voltage due to the low value of the PFC output capacitors. In Figure 14 and Figure 16 the details of some waveforms at the switching frequency are shown. Figure 13. STEVAL-ILL053V1 evaluation board: Figure 14.

The resonant stage switching frequency is about 100 kHz, in order to have a good trade-off between transformer losses and dimensions. The LLC converter has been designed to operate at nominal voltage and full load at the resonance frequency, but due to the PFC output voltage ripple at twice the mains frequency, it is driven slightly above and below the resonant tank frequency, according to the instantaneous value of the PFC output voltage. In Figure 17 some waveforms relevant to the resonant stage ZVS operation are shown. We note that both MOSFETs are turned on when resonant current is flowing through their body diodes and drain-source voltage is almost zero, thus achieving good efficiency because the turn-on losses are negligible. The HB MOSFET voltage de-rating and low operating temperature allow increasing the board’s MTBF. The current flowing in the resonant tank is sinusoidal. In Figure 17 we note a slight asymmetry of operating modes by each half portion of the sine wave. The half cycle is working at resonant frequency while the other one is working above the resonant frequency. This is due to a small difference between each half-secondary leakage inductance of the transformer reflected to the primary side, providing the two slightly different resonant frequencies. This phenomenon is typically due to a different coupling of the transformer secondary windings and, in this case, it is not an issue. The slight asymmetry is also visible in Figure 18 where the small ringing appearing on both secondary rectifiers anode voltage indicates that for a short time the rectifiers are not conducting. This demonstrates that during the half cycle the circuit is working below the resonant frequency, while during the following half cycle it is working at the resonant frequency. In Figure 18 we also note the rectifier operating voltage and its margin with respect to the maximum reverse voltage (VRRM). This de-rating with respect to the rectifiers VRRM guarantees good reliability of the output rectifiers, increasing the board’s total MTBF. Figure 17. STEVAL-ILL053V1 evaluation board: Figure 18.

As visible the ripple and noise at switching frequency is very limited, thanks to the low EMI generated by both stages. In Figure 20 the low-frequency ripple has been measured too. We note that the peak-to-peak value is not very low because of the low output capacitances but it doesn't affect the application. In fact the converters regulating the current flowing in each LED strip can reject the ripple without any problem. Figure 19. STEVAL-ILL053V1 evaluation board: Figure 20.

In both figures it is possible to see the output voltage modulation during operation with variable load due to the dimming of the LED current by PWM. For both measurements, the dimming frequency has been chosen at 300 Hz, a typical value for dimming. In Figure 21 the converter’s output current was 2.6 A and the dimming duty cycle was 90%, thus very close to the converter’s nominal output power. The output voltage has two modulations. One is due to the rejection of the PFC output voltage ripple already measured in Figure 20 where the voltage variation due to the LED current dimming is superimposed. The peak-to-peak variation is 5.37 V but it doesn't present any problem for the load since the converters reject the modulation. In Figure 22 instead the converter has been checked at light load, so the peak output current was 3 A and the dimming duty cycle was 15%, for an output power of 21 W. Even in this case, the peak-to peak modulation doesn't present any issue for the downstream current regulators and the board still works correctly. 12/31 DocID016775 Rev 3 AN3106 Functional check Figure 21. STEVAL-ILL053V1 evaluation board: Figure 22. STEVAL-ILL053V1 evaluation board: output voltage variation driving a CC LED output voltage variation driving a CC LED converter - PWM = 90% converter - PWM = 15% CH1: PWM dimming signal CH4: SMPS output current CH2: VOUT CH1: PWM dimming signal CH4: SMPS output current CH2: VOUT Please note that for correct operation with LED strips, the board needs additional capacitors connected on the +48 V output bus. The board has not been equipped with all of the capacitors necessary for correct operation with LEDs, but only with minimum capacitance to allow board operation in order to optimize the system cost and reliability. The additional capacitors needed are intended to be placed close to each LED strip current regulator, thus filtering the EMI generated by these. In several cases, in fact, the power supply is placed at the base of the lighting pole while the LED current regulators are located on top, in the lamp. The long connection wiring between the power supply and the converters can act as an antenna radiating EMI. Thus local filtering minimizes the radiated EMI. The capacitance to be added to the 48 V bus for correct operation with LEDs is around 40 µF. In order to not affect the board MTBF, we suggest using the same type of capacitors already used on the power supply board. 4.4 Overcurrent and overvoltage protection The L6599AT is equipped with a current sensing input (pin #6, ISEN) and a dedicated overcurrent management system. The current flowing in the resonant tank is detected and the signal is fed into the ISEN pin. It is internally connected to a first comparator, referenced to 0.8 V, and to a second comparator referenced to 1.5 V. If the voltage externally applied to the pin exceeds 0.8 V, the first comparator is tripped, causing an internal switch to be turned on and discharging the soft-start capacitor C24 (CSS). Under output short-circuit, this operation results in a nearly constant peak primary current. With the L6599AT the designer can program externally the maximum time that the converter is allowed to run overloaded or under short-circuit conditions. Overloads or short-circuits lasting less than the set time will not cause any other action, hence providing the system with immunity to short duration phenomena. If, instead, the overload condition persists, a protection procedure is activated that shuts down the L6599AT. In case of continuous overload or short-circuit, it will result in continuous intermittent operation with a user-defined duty cycle. DocID016775 Rev 3 13/31 31 Functional check AN3106 This function is implemented with the DELAY pin (#2), by means of a capacitor C21 and the parallel resistor R32 connected to ground. As the voltage on the ISEN pin exceeds 0.8 V, the first OCP comparator, in addition to discharging CSS, turns on an internal 150 µA current generator that via the DELAY pin charges C21. As the voltage on C21 is 3.5 V, the L6599AT stops switching and the PFC_STOP pin (#9) is pulled low, turning off also the PFC stage via the L6562AT pin#1 (INV). The internal generator is also turned off, so that C21 will now be slowly discharged by R32. The IC will restart once the voltage on C21 is less than 0.3 V. Additionally, if the voltage on the ISEN pin reaches 1.5 V for any reason (e.g. transformer saturation), the second comparator will be triggered, the L6599AT will shut down and the operation will be resumed after recycling of the VCC. In this evaluation board the intervention of the second level comparator will latch the operation of the L6599AT and the PFC_STOP pin (#9) will stop the PFC. Both controllers will no longer be powered by VCC and the latch will be removed and then a new startup cycle will take place. This sequence continues until the short is removed. Figure 23 shows the operation of the DELAY pin and the consequent hiccup mode operation of the board during short-circuit operation. Thanks to the narrow operating time with respect to the off-time, the average output current as well as the average primary current are limited. This will avoid converter overheating and consequent failures. Removing the short allows the board to resume normal operation. Figure 23. STEVAL-ILL053V1 evaluation board: Figure 24.

The open loop operation provides an increase also of the auxiliary voltage that will trigger the L6599AT pin #9 (DIS) protection pin via the Zener diode D17. As a consequence, the L6599AT will shut down, stopping the operation. The L6599AT will activate also the PFC_STOP pin (#9) that will stop the PFC too, thus both controllers will no longer be powered by VCC. Once VCC drops below the UVLO, the latch is removed and then a new startup cycle will take place. This sequence continues until the open loop is removed. 4.5 Converter startup Figure 25 and Figure 27 show the converter startup. We note that at 115 VAC the converter begins operation in ~300 ms, while at 230 VAC it takes around 150 ms. This is the time 14/31 DocID016775 Rev 3 AN3106 Functional check needed to charge the VCC to the L6562AT turn-on voltage. Thus the L6562AT starts switching and the PFC output voltage starts increasing. Once the PFC output voltage reaches the enable level set via the L6599AT LINE pin, even the LLC stage starts switching and the output voltage rises up to the nominal level. The VCC is initially supplied by the PFC coil charge pump, and then once the L6599AT starts operating, the VCC is also provided by the LLC transformer auxiliary winding. The details of converter sequencing can be found in Figure 26 and Figure 28. Figure 25. STEVAL-ILL053V1 evaluation board: Figure 26.

Powering current regulators with LEDs may cause the board to show an incorrect startup, with output voltage going up and down and LEDs flashing. As already explained in Section 4.3, the board needs an additional 40 µF capacitance on the +48 V.

Here below the thermal measures of the board, component side, at nominal input voltage are shown. Some pointers visible on the pictures have been placed across key components or components showing high temperature. The ambient temperature during both measurements was 27 °C. We note that the PFC part has a different temperature depending on the input mains, while the components of the resonant stage are working at a temperature independent of the mains input voltage.
