General Description
The HV9931 is a fixed frequency PWM controller IC designed
to control an LED lamp driver using a single-stage PFC
buckboost-buck topology. It can achieve a unity power factor
and a very high step-down ratio that enables driving a single
high-brightness LED from the 85-264VAC input without a
need for a power transformer. This topology allows reducing
the filter capacitors and using non-electrolytic capacitors to
improve reliability. The HV9931 uses open-loop peak current
control to regulate both the input and the output current. This
control technique eliminates a need for loop compensation,
limits the input inrush current, and is inherently protected from
input under-voltage condition.

Applications




Capacitive isolation protects the LED Lamp from failure of the
switching MOSFET. HV9931 provides a low-frequency PWM
dimming input that can accept an external control signal with a
duty ratio of 0-100% and a frequency of up to a few kilohertz.
The PWM dimming capability enables HV9931 phase control
solutions that can work with standard wall dimmers.

HV9931
Functional Description
Power Topology
The HV9931 is optimized to drive Supertex’s proprietary
single-stage, single-switch, non-isolated topology, cascading
an input power factor correction (PFC) buck-boost stage
and an output buck converter power stage. This power
converter topology offers numerous advantages useful
for driving high-brightness light emitting diodes (HB LED).
These advantages include unity power factor, low harmonic
distortion of the input AC line current, and low output current
ripple. The output load is decoupled from the input voltage
with a capacitor making the driver inherently failure-safe for
the output load. The power converter topology also permits
reducing the size of a filter capacitor needed, enabling use
of non-electrolytic capacitors. The latter advantage greatly
improves reliability of the overall solution.
The HV9931 is a peak current-mode controller that is
specifically designed to drive a constant current buckboost-buck power converter. This patent pending control
scheme features two identical current sense comparators
for detecting negative current signal levels. One of the
comparators regulates the output LED current, while the
other is used for sensing the input inductor current. The
second comparator is mainly responsible for the converter
start-up. The control scheme inherently features low inrush
current and input under-voltage protection. The HV9931 can
operate with programmable constant frequency or constant
off-time. In many cases, the constant off-time operating mode
is preferred, since it improves line regulation of the output
current, reduces voltage stress of the power components
and simplifies regulatory EMI compliance. (See Application
Note AN-H52.)
Input Voltage Regulator
The HV9931 can be powered directly from its VIN pin, and
takes a voltage from 8V to 450V. When a voltage is applied
at the VIN pin, the HV9931 seeks to maintain a constant
7.5V at the VDD pin. The VDD voltage can be also used as a
reference for the current sense comparators. The regulator
is equipped with an under-voltage protection circuit which
shuts off the HV9931 when the voltage at the VDD pin falls
below 6.2V.
The VDD pin must be bypassed by a low ESR capacitor
(≥ 0.1µF) to provide a low impedance path for the high
frequency current of the output GATE driver.
The HV9931 can also be operated by supplying a voltage
at the VDD pin greater than the internally regulated voltage.
This will turn off the internal linear regulator and the HV9931
will function by drawing power from the external voltage
source connected to the VDD pin.
PWM Dimming and Wall Dimmer Compatibility
PWM Dimming can be achieved by applying a TTLcompatible square wave signal at the PWMD pin. When the
PWMD pin is pulled high, the GATE driver is enabled and the
circuit operates normally. When the PWMD pin is left open
or connected to GND, the GATE driver is disabled and the
external MOSFET turns off. The HV9931 is designed so that
the signal at the PWMD pin inhibits the driver only, and the
IC need not go through the entire start-up cycle each time
ensuring a quick response time for the output current.
The power topology requires little filter capacitance at
the output, since the output current of the buck stage is
continuous, and since AC line filtering is accomplished
through the middle capacitor rather than the output one.
Therefore, disabling the HV9931 via its PWMD or VIN pins
can interrupt the output LED current in accordance with
the phase-controlled voltage waveform of a standard wall
dimmer.

HV9931
Input and Output Current Feedback
Two current sense comparators are included in the HV9931.
Both comparators have their non-inverting inputs internally
connected to ground (GND). The CS1 and CS2 inputs are
inverting inputs of the comparators. Connecting a resistor
divider into either of these inputs from a positive reference
voltage and a negative current sense signal programs the
current sense threshold of the comparator. The VDD voltage
of the HV9931 can be used as the reference voltage. If more
accuracy is needed, an external reference voltage can be
applied. When either the CS1 or the CS2 pin voltage falls
below GND, the GATE pulse is terminated. A leading edge
blanking delay of 215ns (typ) is added. The GATE voltage
becomes high again upon receiving the next clock pulse of
the oscillator circuit.
Referring to the Functional Circuit Diagram, the CS2
comparator is responsible for regulating output current. The
output LED current can be programmed using the following
equation:
RCS 2 =
1
∆ I L2
2
⋅ RREF 2 ⋅ RS 2
7.5V
Io +
where ∆IL2 is the peak-to-peak current ripple in L2. The CS1
comparator limits the current in the input inductor L1. There
is no charge in the capacitor C1 upon the start-up of the
converter. Therefore, L2 cannot develop the output current,
and the HV9931 starts-up in the input current limiting mode.
The CS1 current threshold must be programmed such that no
input current limiting occurs in normal steady-state operation.
The CS1 threshold can be programmed in accordance with
a similar equation:
RCS 1 =
I L1( PK )
7.5V
⋅ RREF 1 ⋅ RS 1
where IL1(PK) is the maximum peak current in L1.
MOSFET Gate Driver
Typically, the GATE driving capability of the HV9931 is limited
by the amount of power dissipation in its linear regulator.
Thus, care must be taken selecting a switching MOSFET
to be used in the circuit. An optimal trade-off must be found
between the GATE charge and the on-resistance of the
MOSFET to minimize the input regulator current.
