LNK500 is a lower cost version of the LNK501 with a wider tolerance output CC characteristic.

See Part Ordering Information. and enables a much smaller, lighter, and attractive package when compared with the traditional "brick". With efficiency of up to 75% and < 300 mW no-load consumption, a LinkSwitch solution can save the end user enough energy over a linear design to completely pay for the full power supply cost in less than one year. LinkSwitch integrates a 700 V power MOSFET, PWM control, high voltage start-up, current limit, and thermal shutdown circuitry, onto a monolithic IC.

Pin Configuration. 2 B 3/03 LNK500 LinkSwitch Functional Description The duty cycle, current limit and operating frequency relationships with CONTROL pin current are shown in Figure 4. Figure 5 shows a typical power supply outline schematic which is used below to describe the LinkSwitch operation. Power Up During power up, as VIN is first applied (Figure 5), the CONTROL pin capacitor C1 is charged through a switched high voltage current source connected internally between the DRAIN and CONTROL pins (see Figure 2). When the CONTROL pin voltage reaches approximately 5.6 V relative to the SOURCE pin, the high voltage current source is turned off, the internal control circuitry is activated and the high voltage internal MOSFET starts to switch. At this point, the charge stored on C1 is used to supply the internal consumption of the chip. Constant Current (CC) Operation As the output voltage, and therefore the reflected voltage across the primary transformer winding ramp up, the feedback CONTROL current IC increases. As shown in Figure 4, the internal current limit increases with IC and reaches ILIM when IC is equal to IDCT. The internal current limit vs. IC characteristic is designed to provide an approximately constant power supply output current as the power supply output voltage rises. Constant Voltage (CV) Operation When IC exceeds IDCS, typically 2 mA (Figure 4), the maximum duty cycle is reduced. At a value of IC that depends on power supply input voltage, the duty cycle control limits LinkSwitch peak current below the internal current limit value. At this point the power supply transitions from CC to CV operation. With minimum input voltage in a typical universal input design, this transition occurs at approximately 30% duty cycle. R1 (Figure 5) is therefore initially selected to conduct a value of IC approximately equal to IDCT when VOUT is at the desired value at the minimum power supply input voltage. The final choice of R1 is made when the rest of the circuit design is complete. When the duty cycle drops below approximately 4%, the frequency is reduced, which reduces energy consumption under light load conditions. Auto-Restart Operation When a fault condition, such as an output short circuit or open loop, prevents flow of an external current into the CONTROL pin, the capacitor C1 discharges towards 4.7 V. At 4.7 V, autorestart is activated, which turns the MOSFET off and puts the control circuitry in a low current standby mode. In auto-restart, LinkSwitch periodically restarts the power supply so that normal power supply operation can be restored when the fault is removed.

B 3/03 3 LNK500 The characteristics described above provide an approximate CV/CC power supply output without the need for secondary side voltage or current feedback. The output voltage regulation is influenced by how well the voltage across C2 tracks the reflected output voltage. This tracking is influenced by the value of the transformer leakage inductance which introduces an error. Resistor R2 and capacitor C2 partially filter the leakage inductance voltage spike reducing this error. This circuitry, used with standard transformer construction techniques provides much better output load regulation than a linear transformer, making this an ideal power supply solution in many low power applications. If tighter load regulation is required, an optocoupler configuration can be used while still employing the constant output current characteristics provided by LinkSwitch. Optional Secondary Feedback Figure 6 shows a typical power supply outline schematic using LinkSwitch with optocoupler feedback to improve output voltage regulation. On the primary side, the schematic differs from Figure 5 by the addition of R3, C3 and optocoupler U1. R3 forms a potential divider with R1 to limit the U1 collector emitter voltage. On the secondary side, the addition of voltage sense circuit components R4, VR1 and U1 LED provide the voltage feedback signal. In the example shown, a simple Zener (VR1) reference is used though a precision TL431 reference is typically needed to provide 5% output voltage tolerancing and cable drop compensation, if required. R4 provides biasing for VR1. The regulated output voltage is equal to the sum of the VR1 Zener voltage plus the forward voltage drop of the U1 LED. R5 is an optional low value resistor to limit U1 LED peak current due to output ripple. Manufacturer's specifications for U1 current and VR1 slope resistance should be consulted to determine whether R5 is required. U1 is arranged with collector connected to primary ground and emitter to the anode of D1. This connection keeps the opto in an electrically "quiet" position in the circuit.

Output Voltage Inherent CC to CV transition point Tolerance envelope without optocoupler Typical inherent characteristic without optocoupler Characteristic with optocoupler Load variation during battery charging Voltage feedback threshold Output Current PI-2788-092101 Figure 7. Influence of the Optocoupler on the Power Supply Output Characteristic. 4 B 3/03 LNK500 instead placed on the cathode side of D1, it would become a switching node, generating additional common mode EMI currents through its internal parasitic capacitance. The feedback configuration in Figure 6 is simply a resistive divider made up of R1 and R3 with D1, R2, C1 and C2 rectifying, filtering and smoothing the primary winding voltage signal. The optocoupler therefore effectively adjusts the resistor divider ratio to control the DC voltage across R1 and therefore, the feedback current received by the LinkSwitch CONTROL pin. When the power supply operates in the constant current (CC) region, for example when charging a battery, the output voltage is below the voltage feedback threshold defined by U1 and VR1 and the optocoupler is fully off. In this region, the circuit behaves exactly as previously described with reference to Figure 5 where the reflected voltage increases with increasing output voltage and the LinkSwitch internal current limit is adjusted to provide an approximate CC output characteristic. Note that for similar output characteristics in the CC region, the value of R1 in Figure 5 will be equal to the value of R1+R3 in Figure 6. When the output reaches the voltage feedback threshold set by U1 and VR1, the optocoupler turns on. Any further increase in the power supply output voltage results in the U1 transistor current increasing, which increases the percentage of the reflected voltage appearing across R1. The resulting increase in the LinkSwitch CONTROL current reduces the duty cycle according to Figure 4 and therefore, maintains the output voltage regulation. Normally, R1 and R3 are chosen to be equal in value. However, increasing R3 (while reducing R1 to keep R1 + R3 constant) increases loop gain in the CV region, improving load regulation. The extent to which R3 can be increased is limited by opto transistor voltage and dissipation ratings and should be fully tested before finalizing a design. The values of C2 and C3 are less important other than to make sure they are large enough to have very little influence on the impedance of the voltage division circuit set up by R1, R3 and U1 at the switching frequency. Normally, the values of C2 and C3 in Figure 6 are chosen equal to the value of C2 in Figure 5, though the voltage rating may be reduced depending on the relative values of R1 and R2 discussed above. See Applications section for typical values of components. Figure 7 shows the influence of optocoupler feedback on the output characteristic. The envelope defined by the dashed lines represent the worst case power supply DC output voltage and current tolerances (unit-to-unit and over the input voltage range) if an optocoupler is not used. A typical example of an inherent (without optocoupler) output characteristic is shown dotted. This is the characteristic that would result if U1, R4 and VR1 were removed. The optocoupler feedback results in the characteristic shown by the solid line. The load variation arrow in Figure 7 represents the locus of the output characteristic normally seen during a battery charging cycle. The two characteristics are identical as the output voltage rises but then separate as shown when the voltage feedback threshold is reached. This is the characteristic seen if the voltage feedback threshold is above the output voltage at the inherent CC to CV transition point also indicated in Figure 7. Figure 8 shows a case where the voltage feedback threshold is set below the voltage at the inherent CC to CV transition point. In this case, as the output voltage rises, the secondary feedback circuit takes control before the inherent CC to CV transition occurs. In an actual battery charging application, this simply limits the output voltage to a lower value. Output Voltage Inherent CC to CV transition point VO(MAX) Tolerance envelope without optocoupler Typical inherent characteristic without optocoupler Characteristic with optocoupler Power supply peak output power curve Voltage feedback threshold Load variation during battery charging Characteristic observed with load variation often applied during laboratory bench testing Output Current PI-2790-112102 Figure 8. Output Characteristic with Optocoupler Regulation (Reduced Voltage Feedback Threshold). B 3/03 5 LNK500 However, in laboratory bench tests, it is often more convenient to test the power supply output characteristic starting from a low output current and gradually increasing the load. In this case, the optocoupler feedback regulates the output voltage until the peak output power curve is reached as shown in Figure 8. Under these conditions, the output current will continue to rise until the peak power point is reached and the optocoupler turns off. Once the optocoupler is off, the CONTROL pin feedback current is determined only by R1 and R3 and the output current therefore folds back to the inherent CC characteristic as shown. Since this type of load transition does not normally occur in a battery charger, the output current never overshoots the inherent constant current value in the actual application. In some applications it may be necessary to avoid any output current overshoot, independent of the direction of load variation. To achieve this goal, the minimum voltage feedback threshold should be set at VO(MAX). This will ensure that the voltage at the CC to CV transition point of the inherent characteristic will always occur below the voltage feedback threshold. However, the output voltage tolerance is then increased, since the inherent CV characteristic tolerance below VO(MAX) is added to the tolerance of the optocoupler feedback circuit. The secondary of the transformer is rectified and filtered by D6 and C5 to provide the DC output to the load. LinkSwitch dramatically simplifies the secondary side by controlling both the constant voltage and constant current regions entirely from the primary side. This is achieved by monitoring the primary-side VOR (voltage output reflected). Diode D5 and capacitor C4 form the primary clamp network. This both limits the peak drain voltage due to leakage inductance and provides a voltage across C4, which is equal to the VOR plus an error due to the parasitic leakage inductance. Resistor R2 filters the leakage inductance spike and reduces the error in the value of the VOR. Resistor R1 converts this voltage into a current that is fed into the CONTROL pin to regulate the output. During CV operation the output is regulated through control of the duty cycle. As the current into the CONTROL pin exceeds approximately 2 mA, the duty cycle begins to reduce, reaching 30% at a CONTROL pin current of 2.3 mA. Under light or no-load conditions, when the duty cycle reaches approximately 4%, the switching frequency is reduced to lower energy consumption. If the output load is increased beyond the peak power point (defined by 0.5*L*I2*f), the output voltage and VOR falls. The reduced CONTROL pin current will lower the internal LinkSwitch current limit (current limit control) providing an approximately constant current output characteristic. If the load is increased and the CONTROL pin current falls below approximately 1 mA, the CONTROL pin capacitor C3 will discharge and the supply enters auto-restart. Current limit control removes the need for any secondary side current sensing components (sense resistor, transistor, opto coupler and associated components). Removing the secondary sense circuit dramatically improves efficiency, giving the associated benefit of reduced enclosure size. Applications Example The circuit shown in Figure 9 shows a typical implementation of an approximate constant voltage / constant current (CV/CC) charger using LinkSwitch. This design delivers 2.75 W with a nominal peak power point voltage of 5.5 V and a current of 500 mA. Efficiency is greater than 70% over an input range of 85 VAC to 265 VAC. The bridge rectifier, BR1, rectifies the AC input. Resistor, RF1 is a fusible type providing protection from primary side short circuits. The rectified AC is smoothed by C1 and C2 with inductor L1 forming a pi-filter in conjunction with C1 and C2 to filter conducted EMI. The switching frequency of 42 kHz allows such a simple EMI filter to be used without the need for a Y capacitor while still meeting international EMI standards. When power is applied, high voltage DC appears at the DRAIN pin of LinkSwitch (U1). The CONTROL pin capacitor C3 is then charged through a switched high voltage current source connected internally between the DRAIN and CONTROL pins. When the CONTROL pin reaches approximately 5.6 V relative to the SOURCE pin, the internal current source is turned off. The internal control circuitry is activated and the high voltage MOSFET starts to switch, using the energy in C3 to power the IC. When the MOSFET is on, the high voltage DC bus is connected to one end of the transformer primary, the other end being connected to primary return. As the current ramps in the primary of flyback transformer T1, energy is stored. This energy is delivered to the output when the MOSFET turns off each switching cycle. Key Application Considerations Design Output Power Table 1 (front page) provides guidance for the maximum continuous output power from a given device under the conditions specified. The output of chargers (CV/CC) are normally specified at the typical output peak power point. Conversely, non-charger applications (CV only, which applies to many converters such as adapters, standby/auxiliary supplies and other embedded AC-DC converters) where CC operation is not required, are normally specified at the minimum output power they will supply under worst case conditions. 6 B 3/03 LNK500 L1 1 mH U1 LNK500 LinkSwitch D C S 1 C3 0.22 F 50 V T1 5 15 T #30 AWG TIW C5 470 F 10 V 5.5 V, 500 mA RF1 10 1 W Fusible 85-265 VAC BR1 1 A, 600 V 116 T 4 #34 AWG R1 20.5 k 1% C1 4.7 F 400 V C2 4.7 F 400 V C4 0.1 F 100 V 3 6 D6 11DQ06 RTN D5 1N4937 R2 100 EE13 LP = 2.55 mH PERFORMANCE SUMMARY Output Power: Efficiency: No Load Consumption: 2.75 W 72% 260 mW, 230 VAC 200 mW, 115 VAC PI-3419-111802 Figure 9. 2.75 W Constant Voltage/Constant Current (CV/CC) Charger using LinkSwitch. 9 8 Output Voltage (V) VIN = 85 VAC VIN = 115 VAC VIN = 185 VAC VIN = 265 VAC 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 0 100 200 300 400 500 600 700 Output Current (mA) Figure 10. Measured Output Characteristic of the Circuit in Figure 9. PI-3420-111802 10 B 3/03 7 LNK500 To aid the designer, the power table reflects these differences. For CV/CC designs the typical power column and for CV designs the minimum power column should be used, respectively. Additionally, figures are based on the following conditions: 1. The minimum DC input bus voltage is 90 V or higher. This corresponds to a filter capacitor of 3 F/W for universal input and 1 F/W for 230 VAC or 115 VAC input with doubler input stage. 2. Design is a discontinuous mode flyback converter. Continuous mode designs can result in loop instability and are therefore not recommended. For typical output power figures, nominal values for primary inductance and I2f are assumed. For minimum output power figures, primary inductance minus 10% and the minimum I2f value are assumed. For no-load consumption <300 mW, a VOR in the range 40 V to 60 V is assumed. For no-load consumption <500 mW and higher output power capability, a VOR in the range 60 V to 100 V is assumed. 3. A secondary output of 5 V with a Schottky rectifier diode. 4. Assumed efficiency of 70%. 5. The part is board mounted with SOURCE pins soldered to sufficient area of copper to keep the die temperature at or below 100 C. 6. An output cable with a total resistance of 0.2 . In addition to the thermal environment (sealed enclosure, ventilated, open frame, etc), the maximum power capability of LinkSwitch in a given application depends on transformer core size, efficiency, primary inductance tolerance, minimum specified input voltage, input storage capacitance, output voltage, output diode forward drop, etc., and can be different from the values shown in Table 1. Transformer Design To provide an approximately CV/CC output, the transformer should be designed to be discontinuous; all the energy stored in the transformer is transferred to the secondary during the MOSFET off time. Energy transfer in discontinuous mode is independent of line voltage. The peak power point prior to entering constant current operation is defined by the maximum power transferred by the transformer. The power transferred is given by the expression P = 0.5*L*I2*f, where L is the primary inductance, I2 is the primary peak current squared and f is the switching frequency. To simplify analysis, the data sheet parameter table specifies an I2f coefficient. This is the product of current limit squared and switching frequency normalized to the feedback parameter IDCT. This provides a single term that specifies the variation of the peak power point in the power supply due to LinkSwitch. As primary inductance tolerance is part of the expression that determines the peak output power point (start of the CC characteristic) this parameter should be well controlled. For an estimated overall constant current tolerance of 25% the primary inductance tolerance should be 10% or better. This is achievable using standard low cost, center leg gapping techniques where the gap size is typically 0.08 mm or larger. Smaller gap sizes are possible but require non-standard, tighter ferrite AL tolerances. Other gapping techniques such as film gapping allow tighter tolerances (7% or better) with associated improvements in the tolerance of the peak power point. Please consult your transformer vendor for guidance. Core gaps should be uniform. Uneven core gapping, especially with small gap sizes, may cause variation in the primary inductance with flux density (partial saturation) and make the constant current region non-linear. To verify uniform gapping it is recommended that the primary current wave-shape be examined while feeding the supply from a DC source. The gradient is defined as di/dt = V/L and should remain constant throughout the MOSFET on time. Any change in gradient of the current ramp is an indication of uneven gapping. Measurements made using a LCR bridge should not be solely relied upon; typically these instruments only measure at currents of a few milliamps. This is insufficient to generate high enough flux densities in the core to show uneven gapping. For a typical EE13 core using center leg gapping, a 0.08 mm gap (ALG of 190 nH/t2) allows a primary inductance tolerance of 10% to be maintained in standard high volume production. This allows the EE13 to be used in designs up to 2.75 W with less than 300 mW no-load consumption. If film gapping is used then this increases to 3 W. Moving to a larger core, EE16 for example, allows a 3 W output with center leg gapping. The transformer turns ratio should be selected to give a VOR (output voltage reflected through secondary to primary turns ratio) of 40 V to 60 V. In designs not required to meet 300 mW no-load consumption targets, the transformer can be designed with higher VOR as long as discontinuous mode operation is maintained. This increases the output power capability. For example, a 230 VAC input design using an EE19 transformer core with VOR >70 V, is capable of delivering up to 5.5 W typical output power. Note: the linearity of the CC region of the power supply output characteristic is influenced by VOR. If this is an important aspect of the application, the output characteristic should be checked before finalizing the design. Output Characteristic Variation Both the device tolerance and external circuit govern the overall tolerance of the LinkSwitch output characteristic. Estimated peak power point tolerances for a 3 W design are 10% for 8 B 3/03 LNK500 voltage and 25% for current limit for overall variation in high volume manufacturing. This includes device and transformer tolerances and line variation. Lower power designs may have poorer constant current linearity. As the output load reduces from the peak power point, the output voltage will tend to rise due to tracking errors compared to the load terminals. Sources of these errors include the output cable drop, output diode forward voltage and leakage inductance, which is the dominant cause. As the load reduces, the primary operating peak current reduces, together with the leakage inductance energy, which reduces the peak charging of the clamp capacitor. With a primary leakage inductance of 50 H, the output voltage typically rises 30% over a 100% to 5% load change. At very light or no-load, typically less than 2 mA of output current, the output voltage rises due to leakage inductance peak charging of the secondary. This voltage rise can be reduced with a small preload with little change to no-load power consumption. The output voltage load variation can be improved across the whole load range by adding an optocoupler and secondary reference (Figure 6). The secondary reference is designed to only provide feedback above the normal peak power point voltage to maintain the correct constant current characteristic. Component Selection The schematic shown in Figure 5 outlines the key components needed for a LinkSwitch supply. Clamp diode - D1 Diode D1 should be either a fast (trr <250 ns) or ultra-fast type (trr <50 ns), with a voltage rating of 600 V or higher. Fast recovery types are preferred, being typically lower cost. Slow diodes are not recommended; they can allow excessive DRAIN ringing and the LinkSwitch to be reverse biased. Clamp Capacitor - C2 Capacitor C2 should be a 0.1 F, 100 V capacitor. Low cost metallized plastic film types are recommended. The tolerance of this part has a very minor effect on the output characteristic so any of the standard 5%, 10% or 20% tolerances are acceptable. Ceramic capacitors are not recommended. The common dielectrics used such as Y5U or Z5U are not stable with voltage or temperature and may cause output instability. Ceramic capacitors with high stability dielectrics may be used but are expensive compared to metallized film types. CONTROL Pin Capacitor - C1 Capacitor C1 is used during start-up to power LinkSwitch and sets the Auto-Restart frequency. For designs that have a battery load this component should have a value of 0.22 F and for resistive loads a value of 1 F. This ensures there is sufficient B 3/03 time during start-up for the output voltage to reach regulation. Any capacitor type is acceptable with a voltage rating of 10 V or above. Feedback Resistor - R1 The value of R1 is selected to give a feedback current into the CONTROL pin of approximately 2.3 mA at the peak output power point of the supply. The actual value depends on the VOR selected during design. Any 0.25 W resistor is suitable. Output Diode - D2 Either PN fast, PN ultra-fast or Schottky diodes can be used depending on the efficiency target for the supply, Schottky diodes giving higher efficiency then PN diodes. The diode voltage rating should be sufficient to withstand the output voltage plus the input voltage transformed through the turns ratio (a typical VOR of 50 V requires a diode PIV of 50 V). Slow recovery diodes are not recommended (1N400X types). Output Capacitor - C4 Capacitor C4 should be selected such that its voltage and ripple current specifications are not exceeded. LinkSwitch Layout considerations Primary Side Connections Since the SOURCE pins in a LinkSwitch supply are switching nodes, the copper area connected to SOURCE together with C1, C2 and R1 (Figure 5) should be minimized, within the thermal contraints of the design, to reduce EMI coupling. The CONTROL pin capacitor C1 should be located as close as possible to the SOURCE and CONTROL pins. To minimize EMI coupling from the switching nodes on the primary to both the secondary and AC input, the LinkSwitch should be positioned away from the secondary of the transformer and AC input. Routing the primary return trace from the transformer primary around LinkSwitch and associated components further reduces coupling. Y capacitor If a Y capacitor is required, it should be connected close to the transformer secondary output return pin(s) and the primary bulk capacitor negative return. Such placement will maximize the EMI benefit of the Y capacitor and avoid problems in common-mode surge testing. 9 LNK500 Quick Design Checklist As with any power supply design, all LinkSwitch designs should be verified on the bench to make sure that component specifications are not exceeded under worst case conditions. Note: In a LinkSwitch circuit, the SOURCE is a switching node. This should be taken into consideration during testing. Oscilloscope measurements should be made with probe grounded to DC voltages such as primary return or DC rail but not to SOURCE. Power supply input voltage should always be supplied using an isolation transformer. The following minimum set of tests is strongly recommended: 1. Maximum drain voltage - Verify that VDS does not exceed 675 V at highest input voltage and peak output power. 2. Maximum drain current - At maximum ambient temperature, maximum input voltage and peak output power, verify drain current waveforms at start-up for any signs of transformer saturation and excessive leading edge current spikes. LinkSwitch has a minimum leading edge blanking time of 200 ns to prevent premature termination of the on-cycle. Verify that the leading edge current spike event is below current limit at the end of the 200 ns blanking period. 3. Thermal check - At peak output power, minimum input voltage and maximum ambient temperature, verify that the temperature specifications are not exceeded for LinkSwitch, transformer, output diode and output capacitors. Enough thermal margin should be allowed for part-to-part variation of the RDS(ON) of LinkSwitch as specified in the data sheet. Under low line, peak power, a maximum LinkSwitch SOURCE pin temperature of 100 C is recommended to allow for these variations. 4. Centered output characteristic - Using a transformer with nominal primary inductance and at an input voltage midway between low and high line, verify that the peak power point occurs at the desired nominal output current, with the correct output voltage. If this does not occur then the design should be refined to ensure the overall tolerance limits are met.

For specifications with negative values, a negative temperature coefficient corresponds to an increase in magnitude with increasing temperature, and a positive temperature coefficient corresponds to a decrease in magnitude with increasing temperature. B. Breakdown voltage may be checked against minimum BVDSS specification by ramping the DRAIN pin voltage up to but not exceeding minimum BVDSS. C. IC is increased gradually to obtain maximum current limit at di/dt of 90 mA/s. Increasing IC further would terminate the cycle through duty cycle control. D. This parameter is normalized to IDCT to correlate to power supply output current (it is multiplied by IDCT(nominal)/IDCT). E. It is possible to start up and operate LinkSwitch at DRAIN voltages well below 36 V. However, the CONTROL pin charging current is reduced, which affects start-up time, auto-restart frequency, and auto-restart duty cycle. Refer to the characteristic graph on CONTROL pin charge current (IC) vs. DRAIN voltage (Figure 13) for low voltage operation characteristics.
