The L6590 is a monolithic switching regulator de-
signed in BCD OFF-LINE technology, able to operate
with wide range input voltage and to deliver up to
15W output power. The internal power switch is a lat-
eral power MOSFET with a typical R
DS(on)
of 13Ω
and a V
(BR)DSS
of 700V minimum.

DESCRIPTION
(continued)
The MOSFET is source-grounded, thus it is possible
to build flyback, boost and forward converters.
The device can work with secondary feedback and a
2.5V±2% internal reference, in addition to a high gain
error amplifier, makes possible also the use in appli-
cations either with primary feedback or not isolated.
The internal fixed oscillator frequency and the integrated
non dissipative start-up generator minimize the external
component count and power consumption.
The device is equipped with a standby function that
automatically reduces the oscillator frequency from
65 to 22 kHz under light load conditions to enhance

efficiency (P

< 1W @ P
out
= 0.5W with wide range
mains).
Internal protections like cycle-by-cycle current limiting,
latched output overvoltage protection, mains undervolt-
age protection (SMD version only) and thermal shut-
down generate a 'robust' design solution.
The IC uses a special leadframe with the ground pins
(6, 7 and 8 in minidip, 9 to16 in SO16W package) in-
ternally connected in order for heat to be easily re-
moved from the silicon die. An heatsink can then be
realized by simply making provision of few cm
2
of
copper on the PCB. Furthermore, the pin(s) close to
the high-voltage one are not connected to ease com-
pliance with safety distances on the PCB.

Drain connection of the internal power MOSFET. The internal high voltage start-up
generator sinks current from this pin.
Not internally connected. Provision for clearance on the PCB.
Supply pin of the IC. An electrolytic capacitor is connected between this pin and ground.
The internal start-up generator charges the capacitor until the voltage reaches the start-
up threshold. The PWM is stopped if the voltage at the pin exceeds a certain value.
Output of the Error Amplifier. Used for control loop compensation or to directly control
PWM with an optocoupler.
Inverting input of the Error Amplifier. The non-inverting one is internally connected to a
2.5V± 2% reference. This pin can be grounded in some feedback schemes.
Connection of both the source of the internal MOSFET and the return of the bias current
of the IC. Pins connected to the metal frame to facilitate heat dissipation.
Brownout Protection. If the voltage applied to this pin is lower than 2.5V the PWM is
disabled. This pin is typically used for sensing the input voltage of the converter through
a resistor divider. If not used, the pin can be either left floating or connected to Vcc
through a 15 kΩ resistor.
Current return for the bias current of the IC.
