Introduction
The NCL30060 is intended to control a high performance critical conduction
mode (CrM) LED driver providing high power factor and low total harmonic
distortion of input current utilizing constant on-time control. This
evaluation board provides constant current (CC) to the load over a wide LED
string voltage range.
The NCL30060 provides many features including high voltage start-up, direct
drive for external power MOSFET, frequency dithering to reduce the EMI
profile, maximum on-time protection, over voltage protection, and short
circuit protection. These features work together to provide a robust LED
driver solution packaged in a compact SO-7 case with one pin removed for
improved creepage distance.
As configured, this evaluation board provides 700 mA constant current at up to
25 W and directly interfaces to a string of LEDs. This evaluation board
supports 1−10 V and PWM dimming control signals referenced to low voltage
secondary circuits. The default configuration supports standard 1−10 V
dimming. The evaluation board will support PWM dimming by populating alternate
component positions provided on the PCB.
An in-depth description of constant on-time control and performance of a
single stage flyback LED driver can be found in the datasheet of a related
controller, the NCL30000.
This manual also addresses modifications to change the output current and
output voltage ranges. The NCL30060 specification contains additional
information on operation of the controller. Design calculations are presented
in an Excel® Worksheet available at onsemi.com to aide in
customized design applications.
The compact evaluation board is constructed with through-hole components on
the top and surface mount components on the bottom side. This driver was
designed to meet safety agency requirements but has not been evaluated for
compliance. When operating this board, observe safe standard working
practices. High voltages are present xand caution should be exercised when
handling or probing various points to avoid personal injury or damage to the
unit.
Figures 1 and 2 illustrate the top and bottom sides of the evaluation board.
AC input power connects to the block labeled J1. Terminals are marked “L” and
“N” representing
Line and Neutral leads. The LED load connects to the terminal block labeled J2
with polarity as marked. The anode of the LED load should be connected to “+”
and the cathode to “−” terminal. Never connect LEDs to the driver while it is
running or before the output capacitors discharge after removing input power.
With no load connected, the output capacitors charge to > 44 V. Energy stored
in the output capacitance can damage or shorten th effective life of the LEDs
if improperly discharged into the LEDs.
The schematic for the power section is shown in Figure 3, and dimming
schematic is shown in Figure 4. Dimming control is accessible through the
smaller connector labeled J31. Components have already been placed on the
board to support standard 1−10 V dimming where a 10 V level provides full
output current and 1 V or below reduces the LED current to a minimum level.
The response between 1 and 10 V is linear in terms of LED current.
This evaluation board will also support PWM dimming control by populating the
board with the appropriate components as listed on the evaluation board Bill
of Materials. The board was not intended to support both dimming methods
simultaneously; therefore only components for one type of interface should be
fitted at a time.
The dimming interfaces are optional and do not require any connections if
dimming is not required. This evaluation board does not support phase-cut or
TRIAC dimming functions. General Behavior/Waveforms
The evaluation board is based on a single stage flyback converter. This
topology provides isolation and high power factor utilizing a single power
magnetic and switching device. Single stage converters require minimizing
filter capacitance after the diode bridge and loop response less than 20 Hz to
achieve high power factor and low THDi. Shown below are waveforms of Q1
switching MOSFET drain voltage and current as monitored across sense resistor
R12. The evaluation board is operating with 25 W LED
load. Note the scale factors were left unchanged between photos to highlight
the relationship between drain voltage, current, and operating
frequency.The
photo below is the drain voltage showing the envelope of the rectified sine
wave input. The rectified sine shape provides high power factor
performance.This converter operates in critical
conduction mode (CrM) where the power switch turns on as soon as the
transformer core is reset to provide maximum utilization of the transformer.
This can be seen in Figure 9 which shows the bias winding voltage in the top
trace and the switching MOSFET gate signal in the bottom trace.![onsemi

fig-6.png)The voltage on the transformer bias winding remains constant until
the core is demagnetized, at which time the voltage begins to fall. When the
voltage crosses the zero current detect (ZCD) threshold of 55 mV, the gate
drive (DRV) is issued which turns on the MOSFET. The DRV signal remains high
until the on-time expires and then DRV
falls to a low state turning off the MOSFET. When the MOSFET turns off, the bias winding voltage returns to the high state.
Typical Performance
Figure 10 shows efficiency line regulation performance for the evaluation board. Figure 11 is a plot of load regulation with 115 V ac input. Note the converter enters protection modes for very low and very high output voltage. Power Factor and input current total harmonic distortion (THDi) is shown in Figure 12 for the evaluation board driving 12 LED load. Curves for both 50 Hz and 60 Hz operation are shown. Setting Output Current
The LED output current is directly sensed to provide good regulation over a wide operating range. Current is sensed via a resistor (R24) placed in series with the negative output lead and the voltage across this resistor is compared to a reference to generate a feedback signal. The feedback signal is passed to the primary to control the on-time of the NCL30060 providing closed loop operation.
The loop response of this single stage converter is low in order to provide high power factor and low THDi. At startup, the output current will overshoot until the control loop has time to respond. The amount of overshoot is controlled by a second feedback loop called the fast loop. This loop activates quickly at startup and limits the output current, but does not provide high power factor performance. After a delay, the main current loop takes over regulation at the target current while maintaining high power factor.
The current threshold for the fast loop must be set higher than the peak of the LED ripple current to ensure optimal power factor performance. Resistors R16, R17, and R18
establish the proper reference levels for the main and fast current loops. As built, the reference for the main loop is 70 mV, and the fast loop is 100 mV.
The LED output current, ILED, is given by the formula below: The default value for R24 is 0.1 Ω, therefore the LED current will be 700 mA.
ILED can also be set by adjusting the reference dividing resistors R16, R17, and R18. Ensure that the reference level on the fast loop is higher than the peak of the LED ripple current to avoid degrading the power factor.
Adjusting Output Voltage Range
The NCL30060 evaluation board was designed to cover a wide range of customer applications. As delivered, it is configured for 700 mA over a voltage range of 10 to 41 V. Lower voltage/higher current configurations can also be supported with a simple modification.
The transformer secondary winding is comprised of two halves. The evaluation board default configuration is a series connection of the two secondary windings. For LED voltage applications of 9 to 20 V, the secondary windings should be changed to a parallel configuration. LED string voltages below 9 V will require an alternate transformer design which provides proper secondary bias voltage.
The transformer secondary uses four wires (Flying Leads) from the magnetic to the PCB. Table 1 below shows the two possible configurations for secondary windings.

Open Load Protection
The evaluation board is configured as a current source; therefore the output
voltage will increase until the current set point of 700 mA is achieved. If no
load is connected, the output voltage would rise excessively and must be
limited to avoid damage to the output capacitors. The NCL30060 ZCD input
monitors the output voltage via the bias winding voltage which is related to
the output voltage by the turns ratio of the transformer. R7, D7, and R11 form
the path from the bias winding to the ZCD input. When the ZCD input reaches 6
V, the controller shuts off the MOSFET preventing excessive output voltage.
The recommended value of R11 is 1kΩ to provide proper response of the current
sense function. R7 is selected to provide 6 V on the ZCD input when the LED
output voltage reaches the open load protection threshold. C13 is a noise
filter for ZCD operation. Shown in Figure 13 below is the bias winding in the
top trace and the main secondary voltage in the lower trace. Note the right
side showing a rising voltage when the MOSFET turns off. The ringing on the
bias winding (top trace) compared to the secondary winding (lower trace)
reveals an error introduced by the transformer leakage inductance.
Monitoring the bias winding to detect output voltage directly would indicate a
false open load condition. The NCL30060 measures the ZCD pin 2 us after the
MOSFET turns off to allow the ringing to subside and avoid erroneous readings
caused by leakage inductance.
When the NCL30060 detects an open load condition, the MOSFET is turned off and
is held off for 1.25 ms, at which time another DRV pulse is issued. If the
open load condition is still present, the MOSFET will be turned off again for
1.25 ms. Should four events occur in succession, the controller shuts down for
1 second to protect the system, and then attempts a restart. Qualifying four
events avoids an interruption in operation due to disturbance such as surge or
static discharge.
Figure 14 below is the bias winding voltage in the top trace and the DRV in
the lower trace during an open load condition. Note the 1.25 ms periods of no
switching and after the fourth consecutive event the controller shuts off for
the extended 1 second period.The CS/ZCD pin monitors
primary current during the MOSFET on-time and bias winding voltage during off-
time. D7 is a blocking diode which allows this dual sensing. Note that
capacitance on the CS/ZCD pin will affect converter operation. Typically, this
pin cannot be directly monitored as probe capacitance can alter circuit
timing. Additionally, board capacitance and recovery characteristics of D7 can
affect converter operation. Best performance is achieved by selecting a low
capacitance diode with recovery time of less than 35 ns for D7 to avoid
residual voltage on the CS/ZCD pin as the converter naturally progresses from
on-time to off-time. PCB traces should be kept as short as possible to avoid
parasitic capacitance.
Shorted Output Protection
During the on-time, energy is stored in the flyback transformer and during the
off-time the energy is delivered to the secondary. When the converter is
operating with low output voltage, the off-time is extended as it is the
product of voltage and time which demagnetizes the transformer initiating the
next switching cycle in CrM operation. Normal converter startup produces the
same extended off-times as shorted output requiring differentiation between
these two events for proper protection.
High power factor operation further compounds detection of shorted output due
to the fact the energy transfer follows the rectified sine envelope of the
applied power.
The extended off-time characteristic of a shorted output may only occur near
the peaks of the sine envelope making a standard timer based solution not
possible. A novel asymmetrical detection method accounts for the extended off-
time occurring only at the peaks of the applied voltage.
Further details on shorted output detection can be found in the NCL30060
datasheet.
Shown below is the typical response of the evaluation board to a shorted
output. This trace shows output current flowing for about 40 ms before the
shorted output detection circuit shuts off the converter. After a 1 second
delay, the converter attempts a restart. When the shorted output is removed,
recovery is automatic. Dimming Functions
The NCL30060 evaluation board accepts dimming control functions through screw
terminal connector J31. The board is factory configured for 1−10 V control,
but can be easily modified for PWM dimming control by installing alternate
components on the PCB. The dimming interface is referenced to the secondary
ground, but does not share the negative lead of the LED load. Do not make a
connection between the negative of J31 and the negative of output connector
J2. This will interfere with LED current sensing.
1−10 Volt Dimming
The typical 1−10 V dimming control for lighting provides full output when the
dimming control is at 10 V and minimum output at 1 V or below. The interface
on the NCL30060 evaluation board will accept a direct connection to a voltage
source, such as a variable dc supply to achieve dimming over the 1 to 10 volt
range. Multiple LED driver boards can be connected in parallel allowing
control of many lighting fixtures from one variable dc supply. The dimming
interface will also support dimming control using a potentiometer noting that
the evaluation board interface is capable of sourcing 10 V. (Note, a
logarithmic taper potentiometer is suggested for more proportional light
control with potentiometer setting.) Multiple fixtures can be connected
together when using a potentiometer; however the adjustment region will be
more compressed. This is due to multiple LED drivers where each dimming
interface is contributing some current to the same potentiometer.
An alternate approach to a potentiometer is a commercial 1−10 V dimming
control. An example of this control is a potentiometer which has a transistor
follower as a current
buffer to minimize the effect of current sourced from multiple dimming
interface circuits. The 1−10 volt dimming interface will work with all three
control methods. The 1−10 volt dimming control injects a proportional signal
into the current feedback loop essentially subtracting the control input
proportionally from the feedback required from the LED current sense resistor.
This provides a stable wide-range dimming control. 10 volts on the input
provides zero output from the summing amplifier U41. R45 in
conjunction with R44 and R46 results in zero current through R36 which means
no modification to the current feedback. Therefore, full LED is applied to the
load.
A voltage higher than 10 V has no effect on the feedback loop. Maximum voltage
at the dimming control input is 15 V.
As the dimming control voltage is reduced, U41 amplifies the signal and raises
the voltage on R36, which proportionally reduces the feedback signal from the
sense resistor. U42 clamps this summed signal to 2.5 V when the dimming input
is lowered to 1 V. Further reduction in dimming input voltage will have no
effect due to the clamping of U42. The value of R36 determines the minimum
current flowing through the LED load. The formula to calculate R36 is given
below:For the example evaluation board with minimum LED
current of 120 mA, R36 is approximately 1 MΩ.
PWM Dimming
Components to support a PWM dimming input can be placed on the NCL30060
evaluation board in the designated area. Components used for 1−10 V dimming
must be removed when using the PWM dimming input.
The evaluation board converts the PWM signal to an analog level. Therefore the
LED current responds to the average duty factor of the PWM signal being
subtracted from the full
LED current. For example, a PWM signal which is at the high state for 10% will
result in 90% of the full LED current. A PWM signal which is at the high state
70% of the time will result in an LED current of 30% of maximum.
U31 is a Schmitt trigger buffer which receives the PWM signal providing a
fixed amplitude square wave with fast rise and fall times. R33 and C31 filter
the PWM signal to an average level which is then impressed on R36. Since the
PWM input is converted to an analog voltage to linearly dim the LED current,
the PWM frequency is not critical. PWM frequencies from 100 Hz up to 20 kHz
are acceptable. The control method functions the same as with the 1−10 V
dimming.
R31 and D31 limit the PWM dimming signal to 5.1 V protecting the input of U31.
12 V is the maximum input. R2 ensures if no PWM signal is applied, the LED
current will
be at the maximum level. R34 sets the maximum level when duty factor is 0%. If
R34 is omitted, the maximum LED current will be slightly higher than the
target value without the PWM dimming circuit.
“Clamp”
There is an area on the bottom side of the PCB labeled “Clamp”. These
component locations are reserved fora future enhancement. The demo board is
shipped without populating this area.
