LC5540LF Series
Single-Stage Power Factor Corrected
Off-Line Switching Regulators
Features and Benefits
• Integrated on-width control circuit (it realizes high power
factor by average current control)
• Integrated startup circuit (no external startup
circuit necessary)
• Integrated soft-start circuit (reduces power stress during
start-up on the incorporated power MOSFET and rectifier)
• Integrated bias assist circuit (improves the startup
performance, suppresses V
CC
voltage droop during
operation, allows reduction of VCC capacitor value as well
as use of a ceramic capacitor)
• Integrated Leading Edge Blanking (LEB) circuit
• Integrated maximum on-time limit circuit
• Dual-chip structure, with an avalanche-guaranteed power
MOSFET (allows simplified surge suppressing circuits)
• Protection features:
▫
Overcurrent protection (OCP): pulse-by-pulse
▫
Overvoltage protection (OVP): latched shutdown
▫
Overload protection (OLP): latched shutdown
▫
Thermal shutdown (TSD): latched shutdown
Description
LC5540LF series is a quasi-resonant topology switching
power supply IC, designed for input capacitorless applica-
tions, and making it possible for systems to comply with the
harmonics standard (IEC61000-3-2 class C). It incorporates
separate controller and power MOSFET chips. The control-
ler adapts the average current control method for realizing
high power factors, and the quasi-resonant topology contrib-
utes to high efficiency and low EMI noise. The rich set of
protection features helps to realize low component counts,
and high performance-to-cost power supply.
The LC5540LF devices are intended for isolated designs.
The incorporated MOSFET has a V
DSS
(min) rating from
650 V (LC5546LF and LC5547LF) to 800 V (LC5549LF).
The R
DS(on)
(max) is 1.1
Ω
(LC5547LF) to 1.9
Ω
(LC5546LF). It is capable of a maximum output power
of 80 W on 230 VAC supply to 55 W on universal supply
(LC5547LF) based on the thermal rating. Note that the
maximum output power can be up to 120% to 140% of this
value. However, it may be limited in applications with low
output voltage or short duty cycle.
