General operation The L6567 uses a small amount of current from a supply resistor(s) to start the operation of the IC. Once start up condition is achieved, the IC turns on the lower MOS transistor of the half bridge which allows the bootstrap capacitor to charge. Once this is achieved, the oscillator begins to turn on the upper and lower MOS transistors at high frequency, and immediately ramps down to a preheat frequency. During this stage, the IC preheats the lamp and after a predetermined time ramps down again until it reaches the final operating frequency. The IC monitors the current to determine if the circuit is operating in capacitive mode. If capacitive switching is detected, the IC increases the output frequency until zero-voltage switching is resumed. Startup and supply in normal operation At start up the L6567 is powered via a resistor connected to the RHV pin (pin 13) from the rectified mains. The current charges the CS capacitor connected to the VS pin (pin 5). When the VS voltage reaches the threshold VS LOW1 (max 6V), the low side MOS transistor is turned on while the high side one is kept off. This condition assures that the bootstrap capacitor is charged. When VS HIGH1 threshold is reached the oscillator starts, and the RHV pin does not provide anymore the supply current for the IC (see fig.1). 5/15 L6567 Figure 1. Start up VSHIGH1 VSLOW1 VS TDT 0 VG low side mosfet 0 VG-VS high side mosfet 0 CF 0 TIME Oscillator The circuit starts oscillating when the voltage supply VS has reached the VS HIGH1 threshold. In steady state condition the oscillator capacitor CF (at pin 12) is charged and discharged symmetrically with a current set mainly by the external resistor RREF connected to pin 10. The value of the frequency is determined by capacitor CF and resistor RREF. This fixed value is called FMIN. A dead time TDT between the ON phases of the transistors is provided for avoiding cross conduction, so the duty cycle for each is less than 50%. The dead time depends on RREF value (fig. 7). The IC oscillating frequency is between FMIN and FMAX = 2.5 · FMIN in all conditions. Preheating mode The oscillator starts switching at the maximum frequency FMAX. Then the frequency decreases at once to reach the programmed preheating frequency (fig.2). The rate of decreasing (df/dt) is determined by the external capacitor CI (pin 14). The preheat time TPRE is adjustable with external components (RREF and CP). The preheat current is adjusted by sense resistance RSHUNT. During the preheating time the load current is sensed with the sense resistor RSHUNT (connected between pin 9-RS- and pin 7-PGND-). At pin 9 the voltage drop on RSHUNT is sensed at the moment the low side MOS FET is turned off. There is an internal comparator with a fixed threshold VPH: if VRS > VPH the frequency is decreased and if VRS < VPH the frequency is increased. If the VPH threshold is reached, the frequency is held constant for the programmed preheating time TPRE. TPRE is determined by the external capacitor CP (pin8) and by the resistor RREF: CP is charged 16 times with a current that depends on RREF, and these 16 cycles determine the TPRE. So the preheat mode is programmable with external components as far as TPRE is concerned (RREF &CP) and as far as the preheating current is concerned (choosing properly RSHUNT and the resonant load components: L and C L). The circuit is held in the preheating mode when pin 8 (CP) is grounded. In case FMIN is reached during preheat, the IC assumes an open load. Consequently the oscillation stops with the low side MOS transistor gate on and the high side gate off. This condition is kept until V S undershoots VS LOW1. 6/15 L6567 Figure 2. Preheating and ignition state. FREQUENCY F MAX F MIN preheating state ignition state burning state TIME Ignition mode At the end of the preheat phase the frequency decreses to the minimum frequency (FMIN), causing an increased coil current and a high voltage appearing across the lamp. That is because the circuit works near resonance. This high voltage normally ignites the lamp. There is no protection to avoid high ignition currents through the MOS transistors when the lamp doesn’t ignite. This only occurs in an end of lamp life situation in which the circuit may break. Now the lowest frequency is the resonance frequency of L and CL (the capacitor across the lamp). The ignition phase finishes when the frequency reaches FMIN or (at maximum) when the ignition time has elapsed. The ignition time is related to TPRE: TIGN = (15/16) · TPRE. The CP capacitor is charged 15 times with the same current used to charge it during TPRE. The frequency shifting slope is determined by CI. During the ignition time the VRS monitoring function changes in the capacitive mode protection. Steady state operation: feed forward frequency The lamp starts operating at FMIN, determined by RREF and CF directly after the ignition phase. To prevent too high lamp power at high mains voltages, a feed forward correction is implemented. At the end of the preheat phase the RHV pin is connected to an internal resistor to sense the High Voltage Bus. If the current in this resistor increases and overcomes a value set by RREF , the current that charges the oscillator capacitor CF increases too. The effect is an increase in frequency limiting the power in the lamp. In order to prevent feed forward of the ripple of the VHV voltage, the ripple is filtered with capacitor CP on pin 8 and an integrated resistor RAVERAGE. Figure 3. Burn state FREQUENCY feed forward mode FMIN Irhv 7/15 L6567 Capacitive mode protection During ignition and steady state the operating frequency is higher than the resonance frequency of the load (L,CL,RLAMP and RFILAMENT), so the transistors are turned on during the conduction time of the body diode in order to maintain Zero Voltage Switching. If the operating frequency undershoots the resonance frequency ZVS doesn’t occur and causes hard switching of the MOS transistors. The L6567 detects this situation by measuring VRS when the low side MOS FET is turned on. At pin 9 there is an internal comparator with threshold VCM TH (typ~20mV ): if VRS < VCM TH capacitive mode is assumed and the frequency is increased as long as this situation is present. The shift is determined by CI. Steady state frequency At any time during steady state the frequency is determined by the maximum on the following three frequencies: fSTEADY STATE= MAX {FMIN, fFEED FORWARD, fCAPACITIVE MODE PROTECTION}. IC supply At start up the IC is supplied with a current that flows through RHV and an internal diode to the VS pin whichcharges the external capacitor CS. In steady state condition RHV is used as a mains voltage sensor, so it doesn’t provide anymore the supply current. The easiest way to charge the CS capacitor (and to supply the IC) is to use a charge pump from the middle point of the half bridge. To guarantee a minimum gate power MOS drive, the IC stops oscillating when VS is lower than VS HIGH2. It will restart once the VS will become higher than VS HIGH1. A minimum voltage hysteresis is guaranteed. The IC restarts operating at f = FMAX ,then the frequency shifts towards FMIN. The timing of this frequency shifting is TIGN (that is: CP capacitor is charged and discharged 15 times).Now the oscillator frequency is controlled as in standard burning condition (feed forward and capacitive mode control). Excess charge on CS is drained by an internal clamp that turns on at voltage VS CL . Ground pins Pin 7(PGND) is the ground reference of the IC with respect to the application. Pin 11( SGND) provides a local signal ground reference for the components connected to the pins CP, CI, RREF and CF. Relationship between external components and sistem working condition L6567 is designed to drive CFL and TL lamps with a minimum part count topology. This feature implies that each external component is related to one or more circuit operating state. This table is a short summary of these relationships: FMIN ---> RREF & CF FFEED FORWARD ---> CF & IRHV TPRE & TIGN ---> CP & RREF FPRE ---> RSHUNT, L, CL, LAMP TDT ---> RREF df/dt ---> CI Some useful formulas can well approximate the values: 1 F MI N ≅ --------------------------------8 ⋅ RR E F ⋅ CF 15 If IRHV is greater than: I R HV ≥ -------------- , the feed forward frequency is settled and the frequency value is fitted by the R R EF followi ng expression: IR H V F F E ED FOR W AR D ≅ --------------------121 ⋅ CF 8/15 L6567 Other easy formulas fit rather well: TDT ≅ 46.75 · 10^-12 · RREF TPRE ≅ 224 · CP · RREF As far as df/dt is concerned, there are no easy formulas that fit the relation between CF, RF, and CI. CI is charged and discharged by three different currents that are derived from different mirroring ratios by the current flowing on RREF. The voltage variations on CI are proportional to the current that charges CF, that is to say they are proportional to df/dt. The values obtained in the testing conditions (CI = 100nF) are: during preheating and working conditions the typical frequency increase is ~ 20KHz/ms, the typical decrease is ~-10Khz/ms; During ignition the frequency variation is ~ -200Hz/ms. If slower variations are needed, CI has to be increased. Due to these tight relationships, it is recommended to follow a precise procedure: first RHV has to be chosen looking at startup current needs and dissipation problems. Then the feed forward frequency range has to be determined, and so CF is set. Given a certain CF, RREF is set in order to fix FMIN. Now CP can be chosed to set the desired TPRE and TIGN. The other external parameters (RSHUNT and CI) can be chosen at the end because they are just related to a single circuit parameters. 9/15 L6567 Figure 4.
