L6563 - L6563A
Description
Description
The device is a current-mode PFC controller operating in Transition Mode (TM). Based on the core of a standard TM PFC controller, it offers improved performance and additional functions. The highly linear multiplier, along with a special correction circuit that reduces crossover distortion of the mains current, allows wide-range-mains operation with an extremely low THD even over a large load range. The output voltage is controlled by means of a voltage-mode error amplifier and a precise (1.5% @TJ = 25C) internal voltage reference. The stability of the loop and the transient response to sudden mains voltage changes are improved by the voltage feedforward function (1/V2 correction). Additionally, the IC provides the option for tracking boost operation (where the output voltage is changed tracking the mains voltage). The device features extremely low consumption ( 90 A before start-up and 5 mA running). In addition to an effective two-step OVP that handles normal operation overvoltages, the IC provides also a protection against feedback loop failures or erroneous output voltage setting. In the L6563 a protection is added to stop the PFC stage in case the boost inductor saturates. This function is not included in the L6563A. This is the only difference between the two part numbers. An interface with the PWM controller of the DC-DC converter supplied by the PFC preregulator is provided: the purpose is to stop the operation of the converter in case of anomalous conditions for the PFC stage (feedback loop failure, boost inductor's core saturation) in the L6563 only and to disable the PFC stage in case of light load for the DCDC converter, so as to make it easier to comply with energy saving norms (Blue Angel, EnergyStar, Energy2000, etc.). The device includes disable functions suitable for remote ON/OFF control both in systems where the PFC pre-regulator works as a master and in those where it works as a slave. The totem-pole output stage, capable of 600 mA source and 800 mA sink current, is suitable to drive high current MOSFETs or IGBTs. This, combined with the other features and the possibility to operate with the proprietary Fixed-Off-Time control, makes the device an excellent low-cost solution for EN61000-3-2 compliant SMPS in excess of 350W.

Description
TBO
Tracking Boost function. This pin provides a buffered VFF voltage. A resistor connected between this pin and GND defines a current that is sunk from pin INV (pin 1). In this way, the output voltage is changed proportionally to the mains voltage (tracking boost). If this function is not used leave this pin open. PFC pre-regulator output voltage monitoring/disable function. This pin senses the output voltage of the PFC pre-regulator through a resistor divider and is used for protection purposes. If the voltage at the pin exceeds 2.5V the IC is shut down, its consumption goes almost to the start-up level and this condition is latched. PWM_LATCH pin is asserted high. Normal operation can be resumed only by cycling the Vcc. This function is used for protection in case the feedback loop fails. If the voltage on this pin is brought below 0.2V the IC is shut down and its consumption is considerably reduced. To restart the IC the voltage on the pin must go above 0.26V. If these functions are not needed, tie the pin to a voltage between 0.26 and 2.5 V.
PFC_OK
Output pin for fault signaling. During normal operation this pin features high impedance. If either a voltage above 2.5V at PFC_OK (pin 7) or a voltage above 1.7V on CS (pin 4) of PWM_LATCH L6563 is detected the pin is asserted high. Normally, this pin is used to stop the operation of the DC-DC converter supplied by the PFC pre-regulator by invoking a latched disable of its PWM controller. If not used, the pin will be left floating. Output pin for fault signaling. During normal operation this pin features high impedance. If the IC is disabled by a voltage below 0.5V on RUN (pin 10) the voltage at the pin is pulled PWM_STOP to ground. Normally, this pin is used to temporarily stop the operation of the DC-DC converter supplied by the PFC pre-regulator by disabling its PWM controller. If not used, the pin will be left floating. Remote ON/OFF control. A voltage below 0.52V shuts down (not latched) the IC and brings its consumption to a considerably lower level. PWM_STOP is asserted low. The IC restarts as the voltage at the pin goes above 0.6V. Connect this pin to VFF (pin 5) either directly or through a resistor divider to use this function as brownout (AC mains undervoltage) protection, tie to INV (pin 1) if the function is not used. Boost inductors demagnetization sensing input for transition-mode operation. A negativegoing edge triggers MOSFETs turn-on. Ground. Current return for both the signal part of the IC and the gate driver. Gate driver output. The totem pole output stage is able to drive power MOSFETs and IGBTs with a peak current of 600 mA source and 800 mA sink. The high-level voltage of this pin is clamped at about 12V to avoid excessive gate voltages. Supply Voltage of both the signal part of the IC and the gate driver.

Overvoltage protection
Normally, the voltage control loop keeps the output voltage VO of the PFC pre-regulator close to its nominal value, set by the ratio of the resistors R1 and R2 of the output divider. Neglecting the ripple components, under steady state conditions the current through R1 equals that through R2. Considering that the non-inverting input of the error amplifier is internally biased at 2.5V, the voltage at pin INV will be 2.5V as well, then: Equation 1
V O 2.5 I R2 = I R1 = 2.5 ------- = --------------------R1 R2
If the output voltage experiences an abrupt change Vo the voltage at pin INV is kept at 2.5V by the local feedback of the error amplifier, a network connected between pins INV and COMP that introduces a long time constant. Then the current through R2 remains equal to 2.5/R2 but that through R1 becomes: Equation 2
V O 2.5 + V O I' R1 = --------------------------------------R1
The difference current IR1 = IR1 - IR1 = VO/R1 will flow through the compensation network and enter the error amplifier (pin COMP). This current is monitored inside the IC and when it reaches about 18 A the output voltage of the multiplier is forced to decrease, thus reducing the energy drawn from the mains. If the current exceeds 20 A, the OVP is triggered (Dynamic OVP), and the external power transistor is switched off until the current falls approximately below 5 A. However, if the overvoltage persists (e.g. in case the load is completely disconnected), the error amplifier will eventually saturate low hence triggering an internal comparator (Static OVP) that will keep the external power switch turned off until the output voltage comes back close to the regulated value. The output overvoltage that is able to trigger the OVP function is then: Equation 3
VO = R1 20 10-6
16/39
L6563 - L6563A
Application information
An important advantage of this technique is that the overvoltage level can be set independently of the regulated output voltage: the latter depends on the ratio of R1 to R2, the former on the individual value of R1. Another advantage is the precision: the tolerance of the detection current is 15%, which means 15% tolerance on the VO. Since it is usually much smaller than Vo, the tolerance on the absolute value will be proportionally reduced. Example: VO = 400V, VO = 40V. Then: R1 = 40V/20A = 2M ; R2 = 2.52M/(400-2.5) = 12.58k. The tolerance on the OVP level due to the L6563/A will be 400.15 = 6 V, that is 1.36%. When either OVP is activated the quiescent consumption is reduced to minimize the discharge of the Vcc capacitor. Figure 34. Output voltage setting, OVP and FFP functions: internal block diagram

Voltage Feedforward
The power stage gain of PFC pre-regulators varies with the square of the RMS input voltage. So does the crossover frequency fc of the overall open-loop gain because the gain has a single pole characteristic. This leads to large trade-offs in the design. For example, setting the gain of the error amplifier to get fc = 20 Hz @ 264 Vac means having fc 4 Hz @ 88 Vac, resulting in a sluggish control dynamics. Additionally, the slow control loop causes large transient current flow during rapid line or load changes that are limited by the dynamics of the multiplier output. This limit is considered when selecting the sense resistor to let the full load power pass under minimum line voltage conditions, with some margin. But a fixed current limit allows excessive power input at high line, whereas a fixed power limit requires the current limit to vary inversely with the line voltage. Voltage Feedforward can compensate for the gain variation with the line voltage and allow overcoming all of the above-mentioned issues. It consists of deriving a voltage proportional to the input RMS voltage, feeding this voltage into a squarer/divider circuit (1/V2 corrector) and providing the resulting signal to the multiplier that generates the current reference for the inner current control loop (see Figure 35).

In this way a change of the line voltage will cause an inversely proportional change of the half sine amplitude at the output of the multiplier (if the line voltage doubles the amplitude of the multiplier output will be halved and vice versa) so that the current reference is adapted to the new operating conditions with (ideally) no need for invoking the slow dynamics of the error amplifier. Additionally, the loop gain will be constant throughout the input voltage range, which improves significantly dynamic behavior at low line and simplifies loop design. Actually, deriving a voltage proportional to the RMS line voltage implies a form of integration, which has its own time constant. If it is too small the voltage generated will be affected by a considerable amount of ripple at twice the mains frequency that will cause distortion of the current reference (resulting in high THD and poor PF); if it is too large there will be a considerable delay in setting the right amount of feedforward, resulting in excessive overshoot and undershoot of the pre-regulator's output voltage in response to large line voltage changes. Clearly a trade-off is required. The device realizes Voltage Feedforward with a technique that makes use of just two external parts and that limits the feedforward time constant trade-off issue to only one direction. A capacitor CFF and a resistor RFF , both connected from the VFF (pin 5) pin to ground, complete an internal peak-holding circuit that provides a DC voltage equal to the peak of the rectified sine wave applied on pin MULT (pin 3). RFF provides a means to discharge CFF when the line voltage decreases (see Figure 35). In this way, in case of sudden line voltage rise, CFF will be rapidly charged through the low impedance of the internal diode and no appreciable overshoot will be visible at the pre-regulator's output; in case of line voltage drop CFF will be discharged with the time constant RFFCFF, which can be in the hundred ms to achieve an acceptably low steady-state ripple and have low current distortion; consequently the output voltage can experience a considerable undershoot, like in systems with no feedforward compensation.

The twice-mains-frequency (2fL) ripple appearing across CFF is triangular with a peak-topeak amplitude that, with good approximation, is given by: Equation 4
2V MULTpk V FF = --------------------------------------1 + 4f L R FF C FF
where fL is the line frequency. The amount of 3rd harmonic distortion introduced by this ripple, related to the amplitude of its 2fL component, will be: Equation 5

Figure 36 shows a diagram that helps choose the time constant RFFCFF based on the amount of maximum desired 3rd harmonic distortion. Always connect RFF and CFF to the pin, the IC will not work properly if the pin is either left floating or connected directly to ground. Figure 36.

The dynamics of the voltage feedforward input is limited downwards at 0.5V (see Figure 35), that is the output of the multiplier will not increase any more if the voltage on the VFF pin is below 0.5V. This helps to prevent excessive power flow when the line voltage is lower than the minimum specified value (brownout conditions).

Essentially, the circuit artificially increases the ON-time of the power switch with a positive offset added to the output of the multiplier in the proximity of the line voltage zero-crossings. This offset is reduced as the instantaneous line voltage increases, so that it becomes negligible as the line voltage moves toward the top of the sinusoid. Furthermore the offset is modulated by the voltage on the VFF pin (see Section 6.3 on page 18 section) so as to have little offset at low line, where energy transfer at zero crossings is typically quite good, and a larger offset at high line where the energy transfer gets worse. The effect of the circuit is shown in Figure 38, where the key waveforms of a standard TM PFC controller are compared to those of this chip. To take maximum benefit from the THD optimizer circuit, the high-frequency filter capacitor after the bridge rectifier should be minimized, compatibly with EMI filtering needs. A large capacitance, in fact, introduces a conduction dead-angle of the AC input current in itself even with an ideal energy transfer by the PFC pre-regulator - thus reducing the effectiveness of the optimizer circuit.

boost inductor the inrush current coming from the bridge rectifier adds up to the switched current and, furthermore, there is little or no voltage available for demagnetization. To cope with a saturated inductor, the L6563 is provided with a second comparator on the current sense pin (CS, pin 4) that stops and latches off the IC if the voltage, normally limited within 1.1V, exceeds 1.7V. Also the cascaded DC-DC converter can be stopped via the PWM_LATCH pin that is asserted high. In this way the entire system is stopped and enabled to restart only after recycling the input power, that is when the Vcc voltages of the L6563 and the PWM controller go below their respective UVLO thresholds. System safety will be considerably increased. To better suit the applications where a certain level of saturation of the boost inductor needs to be tolerated, the L6563A does not support this protection function. Figure 42.

The third communication line is the PWM_STOP pin (pin 9), which works in conjunction with the RUN pin (pin 10). The purpose of the PWM_STOP pin is to inhibit the PWM activity of both the PFC stage and the cascaded DC-DC converter. The pin is an open collector, normally open, that goes low if the device is disabled by a voltage lower than 0.52V on the RUN pin. It is important to point out that this function works correctly in systems where the PFC stage is the master and the cascaded DC-DC converter is the slave or, in other words, where the PFC stage starts first, powers both controllers and enables/disables the operation of the DC-DC stage. This function is quite flexible and can be used in different ways. In systems comprising an auxiliary converter and a main converter (e.g. desktop PC's silver box or hi-end LCD-TV), where the auxiliary converter also powers the controllers of the main converter, the pin RUN can be used to start and stop the main converter. In the simplest case, to enable/disable the PWM controller the PWM_STOP pin can be connected to either the output of the error amplifier (Figure 44 a) or, if the chip is provided with it, to its soft-start pin (Figure 44 b). The use of the soft-start pin allows the designer to delay the start-up of the DC-DC stage with respect to that of the PFC stage, which is often desired. An underlying assumption in order for that to work properly is that the UVLO thresholds of the PWM controller are certainly higher than those of the L6563/A.

Figure 44. Interface circuits that let the L6563/A switch on or off a PWM controller
If this is not the case or it is not possible to achieve a start-up delay long enough (because this prevents the DC-DC stage from starting up correctly) or, simply, the PWM controller is devoid of soft start, the arrangement of Figure 45 lets the DC-DC converter start-up when the voltage generated by the PFC stage reaches a preset value. The technique relies on the UVLO thresholds of the PWM controller. Figure 45. Interface circuits for actual power-up sequencing (master PFC)
Another possible use of the RUN and PWM_STOP pins (again, in systems where the PFC stage is the master) is brownout protection, thanks to the hysteresis provided. Brownout protection is basically a not-latched device shutdown function that must be activated when a condition of mains undervoltage is detected. This condition may cause overheating of the primary power section due to an excess of RMS current. Brownout can also cause the PFC pre-regulator to work open loop and this could be dangerous to the PFC stage itself and the downstream converter, should the input voltage return abruptly to its rated value. Another problem is the spurious restarts that may occur during converter power down and that cause the output voltage of the converter not to decay to zero monotonically. For these reasons it is usually preferable to shutdown the unit in case of brownout.

IC shutdown upon brownout can be easily realized as shown in Figure 46 The scheme on the left is of general use, the one on the right can be used if the bias levels of the multiplier and the RFFCFF time constant are compatible with the specified brownout level and with the specified holdup time respectively. In Table 6 it is possible to find a summary of all of the above mentioned working conditions that cause the device to stop operating. Figure 46. Brownout protection (master PFC)
