Functional Description
The LinkSwitch-PL combines a high-voltage power MOSFET
switch with a power supply controller in one device. The IC
provides a single-stage power factor correction plus LED
current control. The LinkSwitch-PL controller consists of an
oscillator, feedback (sense and logic) circuit, 5.85 V regulator,
hysteretic over-temperature protection, frequency jittering,
cycle-by-cycle current limit, loop compensation circuitry, autorestart, switching on-time extension, power factor and constant
current control.
Auto-restart protection is triggered by a FEEDBACK pin voltage
in excess of 2 V. This feature can be used to provide output
overvoltage protection (via DZOV and ROV, in Figure 4), which
triggers the IC to enter auto-restart.
Auto-Restart
In a direct LED current sensing configuration, the average
FEEDBACK pin voltage is a replica of the LED current, scaled
by the sense resistor (RSENSE in Figure 4). A small low-pass filter
(RF and CF in Figure 4) reduces high frequency noise at the
FEEDBACK pin.
Figure 5 illustrates the operating regions of the FEEDBACK pin
voltage. The LinkSwitch-PL sets its operating point such that
the average FEEDBACK pin voltage in steady-state operation is
290 mV. This threshold is set low to minimize the sensing
resistor dissipation. The internal MOSFET switching frequency
and on-time are updated once every input AC half-cycle to
regulate the output current and maintain high power factor.
If the FEEDBACK pin peak voltage exceeds 550 mV, cycle
skipping mode is triggered and the power processed by the
integrated power MOSFET is clamped on a cycle-by-cycle
basis. Switching frequency may vary during an input voltage
half-cycle to reduce thermal stress on the output LEDs.

Figure 6. Feedback Voltage vs. Phase Angle Dimming Characteristics.
TRIAC (Phase-Controlled) Dimming
The LinkSwitch-PL integrates several features to improve
dimming range and reduce external circuit complexity when
using a phase-controlled TRIAC dimmer. The output LED
current is controlled by the FEEDBACK pin voltage which
changes proportionally to the TRIAC dimmer conduction angle.
When the conduction angle decreases, the voltage at the
FEEDBACK pin decreases causing the average LED current to
decrease.
The FEEDBACK pin reference voltage adjustment is initiated at
approximately 25% of the AC line half-cycle duration. When this
(jOS) threshold is exceeded, VFB and the output LED current
are reduced until a second phase angle threshold is reached.
At this point, with the TRIAC conduction angle being very
limited, the IC runs open loop at constant frequency and duty
cycle (jOL region) and the integrated power MOSFET processes
as much power as the heavily chopped input voltage will allow
creating a light output that is deeply dimmed.
The 520 mV clamping feedback threshold is also linearly reduced
during dimming to control LED current ripple.

LNK454/456-458/460
IC Supply and BYPASS Pin
The internal 5.85 V regulator charges the bypass capacitor
connected to the BYPASS pin to 5.85 V by drawing current
from the voltage on the DRAIN pin whenever the power MOSFET
is off. The BYPASS pin is the internal supply voltage node.
When the power MOSFET is on, the device operates from the
energy stored in the bypass capacitor. Extremely low power
consumption of the internal circuitry allows LinkSwitch-PL to
operate continuously from current it takes from the DRAIN pin.
A bypass capacitor value of 1 µF is sufficient for both high
frequency decoupling and energy storage. Dimming
applications may require a higher bypass capacitor value.
Overload Protection
In case of overload, the system will increase the operating
frequency and on-time each AC half-cycle until the maximum
frequency and maximum on-time are reached. When this state
is reached, the controller enters auto-restart protection, thus
inhibiting the gate of the power MOSFET for approximately
1.28 s if the main line frequency is 50 Hz, 1.02 s if it is 60 Hz.
After this auto-restart off-time expires, the power MOSFET is
re-enabled and a normal start-up is initiated, i.e. at fMIN and
tON(MIN), stepping up until regulation is achieved again. In case of
a persistent overload condition, the auto-restart duty cycle DCAR
is ~33%.
During phase angle dimming when the conduction angle is
small the AC input voltage is present for only short periods of
time. In that case the IC should not rely on the integrated
high-voltage current source, but instead external bias circuitry
should be used to supply the IC from the output (DES and RES in
Figure 4). If the output voltage is less than 7 V, external bias
circuitry should be implemented. This is accomplished by
adding an auxiliary winding on the transformer, which is then
rectified and filtered via a diode (ultrafast) and capacitor. The
winding voltage (turns) should be selected such that the maximum
IC consumption can be supported at the lowest operating
output current.
Overload protection is inhibited during phase dimming when the
TRIAC conduction duty cycle is less than 60%.
Start-up, Switching Frequency and On-time Range
At start-up the controller uses an initial switching frequency fMIN
and minimum on-time tON(MIN). The charging of the output
capacitor together with the energy delivery to the output LEDs
determines a step-by-step increase of the power MOSFET
switching frequency and on-time updated every half-cycle of the
AC input voltage.
The steady-state switching frequency and on-time are
determined by the line voltage, voltage drop across the LEDs
and converter efficiency.
At light load when the device reaches the minimum frequency
fMIN and on-time tON(MIN), the controller regulates by skipping
cycles. In this mode of operation the input current is not power
factor corrected and the average output current is not guaranteed
to fall within the normal range. A properly designed supply will
not operate in this mode under normal load conditions.
A power supply designed correctly will operate within the
switching frequency range [fMIN … fMAX ], with an on-time falling
between tON(MIN) and tON(MAX) when connected to a normal load.
Output Overvoltage Protection
If a no-load condition is present on the output of the supply, the
output overvoltage Zener (DZOV in Figure 4) will conduct once its
threshold is reached. A voltage VOV in excess of VFB(AR) = 2 V will
appear across the FEEDBACK pin and the IC will enter autorestart.
Output Short-Circuit
If the output of the supply (i.e. the LED load) is short-circuited,
then a large amount of energy will be delivered to the sense
resistor, generating a high-voltage at the FEEDBACK pin. If this
condition develops more than 2 V on the FEEDBACK pin, then
the IC will interpret this event as an output short-circuit and will
enter auto-restart.
Safe Operating Area (SOA) Protection
If 3 consecutive cycles of the power MOSFET are prematurely
terminated due to the power MOSFET current exceeding the
current limit after the leading edge blanking time, SOA protection
mode is triggered and the IC will enter auto-restart.
Hysteretic Thermal Shutdown
The thermal shutdown circuitry senses the die junction
temperature. The thermal shutdown threshold is set to 142 °C
typical with a 75 °C hysteresis. When the die temperature rises
above this threshold (142 °C) the power MOSFET is disabled
and remains disabled until the die temperature falls by 75 °C, at
which point the power MOSFET is re-enabled.

LinkSwitch-PL Application Example
The circuit shown in Figure 7 provides a single constant current
output of 350 mA with an LED string voltage of 15 V. The
output current can be reduced using a standard AC mains
TRIAC dimmer down to 1% (3 mA) without instability and
flickering of the LED load. The board is compatible with both
low cost leading edge and more sophisticated trailing edge
dimmers.
The board was optimized to operate over the universal AC input
voltage range (85 VAC to 265 VAC, 47 Hz to 63 Hz) but suffers
no damage over an input range of 0 VAC to 300 VAC. This
increases field reliability and lifetime during line sags and swells.
LinkSwitch-PL based designs provide high power factor (>0.9
at 115 VAC / 230 VAC) and low THD (<15% at 230 VAC, <10%
at 115 VAC) enabling compliance to all current international
requirements and enabling a single design to be used
worldwide.
The form factor of the board was chosen to meet the requirements
for standard pear shaped (A19) LED replacement lamps. The
output is non-isolated and requires the mechanical design of
the enclosure to isolate both the supply and the LED load from
the user.
PI Part Selection
One device size larger than required was selected to increase
efficiency and reduce device thermal rise. This typically gives
the highest efficiency. Further increasing the device size often
results in the same or lower efficiency due to the larger
switching losses associated with a larger power MOSFET.

To overcome these issues the design includes three circuit
blocks, a passive damper, an active damper and a bleeder. The
drawback of these blocks is increased power dissipation and
therefore reduced efficiency of the supply. In this design, the
values selected allow flicker-free operation with a single lamp
connected to a single dimmer at high-line. For flicker-free
operation with multiple lamps in parallel or at low line voltages
only (100/115 VAC) then the values may be optimized to reduce
dissipation and increase efficiency.
The active damper circuit connects a series resistance (R7 and
R8) with the input rectifier for a period of each AC half-cycle, it is
then bypassed for the remainder of the AC cycle by a parallel
SCR (Q3). Resistor R3, R4 and C3 determines the delay before
the turn-on of Q3 which then shorts out the damper resistors
R7 and R8.
AC Line TRIAC Dimmer Interface Circuits
The requirement to provide output dimming with low cost,
TRIAC based, leading edge phase dimmers introduces a
number of trade-offs in the design.
Active Damper
Due to the much lower power consumed by LED lighting
compared to incandescent lighting, the current drawn by the
lamp is below the holding current of the TRIAC dimmer. This
causes undesirable behavior such as limited dimming range
and/or flickering. Inrush current that flows to charge the input
capacitance when the TRIAC turns on causes current ringing.
This too can cause similar undesirable behavior as the ringing
may cause the TRIAC current to fall to zero and turn off for the
remainder of the AC cycle or rapidly turn on and off.

LNK454/456-458/460
Bleeder Circuit
Resistor R10, R11 and C6 form a bleeder network which
ensures the initial input current is high enough meet the TRIAC
holding current requirement, especially during small conduction
angles. For non-dimming application R10, R11 and C6 may be
omitted.
Input Rectifier and EMI Filter
EMI filtering is provided by L1 and a pi (π) filter formed by C4, L2
and C5. Resistors R2 and R9 dampen the self resonances of
the filter stages and reduce the resultant peaks in the
conducted EMI spectrum. As shown the design meets
EN55015 conducted limits with >20 dB margin.
The incoming AC is rectified by BR1 and filtered by C4 and C5.
The total effective input capacitance, the sum of C4 and C5,
was selected to ensure correct zero crossing detection of the
AC input by the LinkSwitch-PL device, necessary for correct
dimming operation.
Primary Components
The LNK457DG device (U1) incorporates the power switching
device, oscillator, CC control engine, start-up, and protection
functions. The integrated 725 V power MOSFET provides
extended design margin, improving robustness during line
surge events even in high-line applications. The device is
powered from the BYPASS pin via the decoupling capacitor C9.
At start-up, C9 is charged by U1 from an internal current source
via the DRAIN pin and then during normal operation it is supplied
by the output via R15 and D4. For non-dimming designs D4
and R15 may be omitted.
The rectified and filtered input voltage is applied to one end of
the primary winding of T1. The other side of the transformer’s
primary winding is driven by the integrated power MOSFET in
U1. The leakage inductance drain voltage spike is limited by an
RCD-R clamp consisting of D2, R13, R12, and C7.
Diode D6 is used to protect the IC from negative ringing (drain
voltage below source voltage) when the power MOSFET is off
and the input voltage is below the reflected output voltage (VOR).
Output Rectification
The secondary of the transformer is rectified by D5, a Schottky
barrier type for higher efficiency, and filtered by C11. Resistor
R17 and C10 damp high frequency ringing and improve
conducted and radiated EMI.
Output Feedback
The CC mode set-point is determined by the voltage drop that
appears across R18 which is then fed to the FEEDBACK pin of
U1. Output overvoltage protection is provided by VR2 and R21.
Application Considerations
Input Capacitor Selection
For correct operation during dimming, the LinkSwitch-PL device
must detect line voltage zero crossing. This is sensed internally
via the drain node at the point the DC bus falls to <19 V. The
requirement for the DC bus to reach this level on each half-cycle
limits the maximum capacitance on the DC side of the input
bridge rectifier. Typically the maximum capacitance value
needed for high power factor also results in meeting the 19 V
limit however during development, this should be verified on an
oscilloscope.
If a reduction in capacitance is required and this results in
increased conducted EMI then capacitance may be added
before the input rectifier which effectively isolates it from the bus
capacitance.
For applications intended for use with leading edge TRIAC
dimmers, film capacitors are recommended as ceramic
capacitors typically create audible noise.
Output Capacitor Selection
Output capacitance has a direct effect on the output load (LED)
ripple current. The larger the capacitance, the lower the ripple
current. Excessive capacitance can prevent the output reaching
regulation within the auto-restart time and either cause failure to
start or require several start-up attempts (hiccups). Too little
capacitance can cause the voltage of the FEEDBACK pin to
exceed the cycle skipping mode threshold, degrading PF and
causing output flicker while dimming.
Therefore the output capacitance value should be selected
such that the ripple voltage across the output current sense
resistor (R18 in Figure 7) and fed into the FEEDBACK pin is
within the range of 100 mVp-p ≤ VFEEDBACK ≤ 400 mVp-p with a
target value of 290 mVp-p.
The output capacitor type is not critical. Non-electrolytic
capacitors are attractive in terms of lifetime (ceramics and solid
dielectric types do not have an electrolyte that evaporates over
time) however electrolytic types offer the best volumetric
efficiency vs. cost. If multi-layer ceramics are selected, verify
the data sheet curves of capacitance vs. applied voltage and
temperature coefficient. The typical capacitance value may be
50% lower across temperature and/or close to rated voltage.
For all capacitor types verify the capacitor(s) selected are rated
for the output ripple current. For electrolytic types, this requires
selecting a low ESR type. A temperature rating of 105 °C or
higher is recommended for long lifetime. For typical designs
there is minimal self heating of the output capacitor and
therefore lifetime is determined by the internal ambient
temperature and broadly follows the Arrhenius equation, i.e.
lifetime doubles for every 10 °C drop in operating temperature.
For example the selection of a capacitor with a rated life of
5,000 hours at 105 °C would have an expected lifetime of
40,000 hours at 75 °C. End of life is typically defined for an
electrolytic capacitor as a doubling of the ESR and the capacitance
reducing by 20%. This often has little impact to the performance
seen by the end user and extends the fit for purpose lifetime.
Feedback Pin Signal
During normal non-dimming (full power) operation, the FEEDBACK
pin threshold voltage (the voltage developed across the current
sense resistor) is 290 mV. For best output current regulation,
between 100 mVp-p to 400 mVp-p of voltage ripple is recommended.
This can be achieved through selecting the appropriate value of

Figure 10 shows undesired rectified bus voltage and current
with the TRIAC turning off prematurely and restarting. On the
first half-cycle this is due to the input current ringing below the
holding current of the TRIAC, excited by the initial inrush current.
The second half-cycle also shows the TRIAC turning off due to
the current falling below the holding current towards the end of
the conduction angle. This difference in behavior on alternate
half-cycles is often seen due to a difference in the holding
current of the TRIAC between the two operating quadrants.

If the TRIAC is turning off before the end of the half-cycle or
rapidly turning on and off then a bleeder and damper circuit are
required.
In general as power dissipated in the bleeder and damper circuits
increases, so does dimmer compatibility.
Initially install a bleeder network across the rectified power bus
(R10, R11 and C6 in Figure 7) with initial values of 0.1 mF and a

Conduction Angle (°)
Due to the much lower power consumed by LED lighting the
input current drawn by the lamp is below the holding current of
the TRIAC within the dimmer. The input capacitance of the
driver allows large inrush currents to flow when the TRIAC fires.
This then generates input current ringing with the input stage
and line inductance which may cause the current to fall below
the TRIAC holding current. Both of these mechanisms cause
undesirable behavior such as limited dimming range and/or
flickering.

For correct operation incandescent phase angle dimmers
typically have a specified minimum load, typically ~40 W for a
230 VAC rated unit. This is to ensure that the current through
the internal TRIAC stays above its specified holding current
threshold.

Working with TRIAC Dimmers
The requirement to provide output dimming with low cost,
TRIAC based, leading edge phase dimmers introduces a
number of trade-offs in the design.
PI-5983-060810
Figure 9 shows the desired rectified bus voltage and current.
Rectified Input Current (A)
Transformer Considerations for use with
Leading Edge TRIAC Dimmers
Audible noise can be created in the transformer due to the
abrupt change in flux when the TRIAC turns on. This can be
minimized by selecting cores with higher mechanical resonant
frequencies. Cores with long narrow legs should be avoided
(e.g. EEL types). RM and other pot core types are good choices
and produce less audible noise than EE cores for the same flux
density. Reducing the core flux density (BM) also reduces
audible noise generation. A value below 1500 Gauss usually
eliminates any noise generation but reduces the power
capability of a given core size.
Figure 8 shows the line voltage and current at the input of a
leading edge TRIAC dimmer. In this example, the TRIAC
conducts at 90 degrees.

output capacitance and the value of the current sense resistor.
If the peak of the ripple voltage exceeds 550 mV, the device will
enter cycle skipping mode which will reduce PFC performance
(lower PF and increase THD).

LNK454/456-458/460
Initially add a passive damper which is a simple resistor in series
with the AC input (R20 in Figure 7). Values in the range of 10 W
– 100 W are typical with the upper range being limited by the
allowed dissipation / temperature rise and reduction in efficiency.
Values below 10 W may also be used but are less effective
especially in high AC line input designs.
If a passive damper is insufficient to prevent incorrect TRIAC
operation then an active damper can be added. This is typical
in high-line applications due to the much larger inrush current
that flows when the TRIAC turns on. A low cost active damper
circuit is formed by R3, R4, C3, Q3, R7 and R8 in Figure 7.
Resistor R7 and R8 limit the inrush current and can be a much
higher value than the passive case as they are in circuit for only
a fraction of the line cycle. Silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) Q3
shorts R7 and R8 after a delay defined by R3, R4 and C3. The
delay is adjusted to give the shortest time that provides
acceptable dimmer performance to minimize the dissipation in
the resistors. The SCR is a low current, low cost device available
in TO-92 packages with very low gate current requirements.
The gate drive requirement of the selected SCR together with the
minimum specified line voltage defines the maximum value of
R7 and R8.
It’s common for different dimmers to behave differently across
manufacturers and power ratings. For example a 300 W
dimmer requires less dampening and requires less power loss
in the bleeder than a 600 W or 1000 W dimmer due to the use
of a lower current rating TRIAC which typically have lower
holding currents. Line impedance differences can also cause
variation in behavior so during development the use of an AC
source is recommended for consistency however testing using
AC mains power should also be performed.
Electronic Trailing Edge Dimmers
Figure 11 shows the line voltage and current at the input of the
power supply with a trailing edge electronic dimmer. In this
example, the dimmer conducts at 90 degrees. This type of
dimmer typically uses a power MOSFET or IGBT to provide the
switching function and therefore no holding current is necessary.
Also since the conduction begins at the zero crossing, high

Dimmer Output Current (A)
If the bleeder circuit does not maintain conduction in the TRIAC,
then add a damper. The purpose of the damper is to limit the
inrush current (as the input capacitance charges) and associated
ringing that occurs when the TRIAC turns on.
PI-5986-060810

Dimmer Output Voltage (V)
Reduce the capacitance value to find the minimum acceptable
value. Reducing the capacitance value reduces power
dissipation and therefore increases efficiency.
Conduction Angle (°)

Dimmer at 90° Conduction Angle.
current surges and line ringing are not an issue. Use of these
types of dimmers typically does not require damper and
bleeder circuits.
Thermal Considerations
Lighting applications present unique thermal challenges for the
power supply designer. In many cases the LED load and
associated heat sink determine the power supply ambient
temperature. Therefore it is important to properly heat sink and
verify the operating temperatures of all devices. For the
LinkSwitch-PL device a SOURCE pin (D package) or exposed
pad (K or V package) temperature of <115 °C is recommended
to allow margin for unit to unit variation. Worst case conditions
are typically maximum output power, maximum external
ambient and either minimum or maximum input voltage.
Layout Considerations
Primary Side Connections
The BYPASS pin capacitor should be located as close to the
BYPASS pin and connected as close to the SOURCE pin as
possible. The SOURCE pin trace should not be shared with the
main power MOSFET switching currents. All FEEDBACK pin
components that connect to the SOURCE pin should follow the
same guideline as for the BYPASS pin capacitor.
It is critical that the main power MOSFET switching currents
return to the bulk capacitor with the shortest path possible. Long
high current paths create excessive conducted and radiated
noise.

Rev. C 10/11
LNK454/456-458/460
Secondary Side Connections
The output rectifier and output filter capacitor should be as
close as possible. The transformer output return pin should
have a short trace to the return side of the output filter capacitor.
These currents should not flow through the primary side source
pin currents. The primary side source pin and secondary side
return should be connected with a short trace.
Quick Design Checklist
Maximum Drain Voltage
Verify that the peak VDS does not exceed 700 V under all
operating conditions including start-up and fault conditions.
Maximum Drain Current
Measure the peak drain current under all operation conditions
including start-up and fault conditions. Look for signs of
transformer saturation (usually occurs at high ambient
temperatures). Verify that the peak current is less than stated in
the Absolute Maximum Ratings section.
Thermal Check
At maximum output power, both minimum and maximum line
voltage and ambient temperature; verify that temperature
specifications are not exceeded for the LinkSwitch-PL,
transformer, output diodes, output capacitors and drain clamp
components.
