Description
CS1600 is a high-performance Variable Frequency Discontinuous Conduction Mode (VF - DCM), active Power Factor
Correction (PFC) controller, optimized to deliver the lowe st PFC
system cost for electronic ballast applications.
A variable ON time / variable frequency algorithm is used to
achieve near unity power factor. This algorithm spreads the EMI
frequency spectrum, which reduces the conducted EMI filtering
requirements. The feedback loop is closed through an integrated
compensation network within the IC, eliminating the need for
additional external components. Protection features such as
overvoltage, overcurrent, overpower, open- and short-circuit protection, overtemperature, and brownout help protect the device
during abnormal transient conditions.

Description
No Connect — Connect these pins to VDD to prevent any leakage path that could
arise from leaving them unterminated.
Standby — This is an active-low pin. Shorting this pin to GND disables PFC switching. The input has a pull-up resistor and should be driven with an open-collector
device. Leave this pin unterminated when not in use.
Rectified Line Voltage Sense — The IAC pin is used to sense the rectified line voltage. This signal, in conjunction with the signal on the FB pin, is used in the Power
Factor Correction (PFC) algorithm
A filter capacitor of up to 2.2 nF may be added between this pin and VDD to provide
noise immunity.
Feedback Voltage Sense — The FB pin is used to sense the output voltage of the
PFC stage. This signal, in conjunction with the signal on the IAC pin, is used in the
Power Factor Correction (PFC) algorithm.
A filter capacitor of up to 2.2 nF may be added between this pin and VDD to provide
noise immunity.
Ground — GND is a common reference for all the functional blocks in this device.
Gate Drive — GD is the output of the device with a source capability of 0.5 A and a
current sink capacity of 1 A.
IC Supply Voltage — VDD is the input used to provide bias to the device. This pin
has an internal shunt to ground. An external bias needs to be applied for steadystate operation. A low-ESR ceramic decoupling capacitor at this pin is recommended
for reliable operation of this device.
Notes: 1. The CS1600 has an internal shunt regulator that controls the nominal operating voltage on the VDD pin.
2. Long term operation at the maximum junction temperature will result in reduced product life. Derate internal power
dissipation at the rate of 50 mW / ºC for variation over temperature.

CS1600
CS1600 is a digitally controlled Power Factor Correction
(PFC) controller that operates in the Variable Frequency
Discontinuous Conduction Mode (VF - DCM). The CS1600
uses a proprietary digital algorithm to optimize control of the
power switch to deliver highly efficient performance for
electronic ballast applications. With this control scheme, the
total number of external components needed is minimized in
comparison to conventional control techniques, thus reducing
the overall system cost.
Digital control is achieved by constantly monitoring two voltages
– the PFC output voltage (V
voltage (V
) at pin IAC. This is done by measuring the currents
rect
) at pin FB and the rectified AC line
link
that flow into the respective pins. These currents are then fed to
the inputs of two analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and are
compared against an internal target current, I
.
ref
The digital outputs of the two ADCs are then processed in a
control algorithm which determines the behavior of the
CS1600 during start-up, normal operation, and under fault
conditions such as brownout, overvoltage, overcurrent,
overpower, and over-temperature. Details of operation during
these conditions are discussed in later sections of this
document.
Some of the key features of the CS1600 are as follows:
• Discontinuous Conduction Mode with Continuously
Variable Switching Frequency
The PFC switching frequency is varied every switching
cycle. This allows for a spread spectrum which minimizes
the conducted EMI peaks at any given frequency, thereby
minimizing the size and cost of the EMI filter required at
the front-end.
During start-up, the control algorithm limits the maximum
ON time and adjusts the frequency to avoid inductor saturation and provides a near-trapezoidal envelope for the
input current during every half cycle. During normal operation, as the line voltage changes over half of a line cycle,
the frequency varies approximately 2:1 as shown in
Figure 7 below.
Figure 7. Switching Frequency vs. Phase Angle
Maximum power transfer occurs at the peak of the AC line
voltage, at which time, the frequency reaches its maximum value. Switching losses are minimized during periods of low power transfer by switching at lower
frequencies near the zero-crossing of the AC line.
This switching frequency profile helps reduce total BOM
cost through savings in the size of the boost inductor and
the EMI filter components, while at the same time, improving overall system efficiency.
• Integrated Feedback Control
No external feedback compensation components are required for the CS1600. The internal digital control engine
self-compensates the feedback error signal using an
adaptive control algorithm.
• Protection Features
The CS1600 provides various protection features such as
undervoltage, overcurrent, overpower, open and short
circuit protection and brownout. It also provides the user
with the option of using the STBY
pin to disable switching
of the device.

4.1PFC Implementation
The PFC switching frequency profile over the line period has
been discussed in detail in Section 4. In addition, the dig ital
control algorithm tracks changes the AC input and operates in
different frequency bands at different line voltages as
illustrated in Figure 8 and Figure 9 below.

The CS1600 primarily operates in the DCM mode with a
properly sized inductor. However, it will move into a quasi-
CRM mode near the peaks of the input line, in order to enable
maximum power delivery, as illustrated in Figure 10 below.
Figure 10. DCM and quasi-CRM Operation with CS1600
4.1.1Start-up Mode vs. Normal Mode
CS1600 operates in two discrete states:
Start-up mode:
When the output voltage of the PFC stage, V
nominal value, the device operates in the start-up mode. It
continues operating in this mode till the nominal V
is reached. The start-up algorithm provides an ON time which
is varied in proportion to the sensed rectified voltage, while
changing the switching frequency to provide maximum power.
During this start-up phase of operation, the switching
frequency could be significantly lower than the normal
operating frequency, and the input current waveform is forced
into following a trapezoidal envelope in phase with the line
voltage, to maximize energy transfer. The ON time and the
switching frequency of the IC ensure that peak currents are
kept controlled to prevent saturation of the boost inductor
during this period.
Normal mode:
Once V
reaches its nominal value, the chip operates in the
link
normal mode. Here, the frequency follows the profile shown in
Figure 7, and the ON time is varied to achieve PFC. Any drop

4.3 Protection Features
4.3.1Overvoltage Protection
If the PFC output voltage, V
threshold, as scaled by the current monitored by the sense
resistors, the CS1600 provides protection by disabling the
gate drive. A nominal hysteresis is provided to allow the
system to recover from the fault condition, before switching is
resumed.
4.3.2Overcurrent Protection
The CS1600’s digital controller algorithm limits the ON
time of the Power MOSFET by the following equation:
Where T

event of a sudden line surge or sporadic, high dv/dt line
voltages, this equation may not limit the ON time appropriately. For this type of line disturbance, additional protection mechanisms, such as fusible resistors, fast-blow
fuses, or other current-limiting devices, are recommended.
The nominal output power is estimated internally by the
CS1600 from the following equation

threshold, it goes into the start-up mode as explained in
section 4.1.1.
At this point, the overpower protection timer is activated. If this
condition continues to exist for 112 ms, the gate drive is
disabled for a period of about 3 seconds. This “hiccup” mod e
of operation continues until the fault is removed.
If a value of the boost inductor other than that obtained from
Eq. 3 above is used, the total output power capability as well
as the thresholds for the different operating conditions will
scale accordingly.
4.3.4Open/short circuit protection
The CS1600 protects the system in case the feedforward
resistor tied to the IAC pin or the feedback resistor tied to the
FB pin is open or shorted to ground.
A fault seen on the resistor going into the FB pin would i mply
no current being fed into the pin, which would trigger the V
undervoltage algorithm as described in Section 4.3.1.
A fault detected on the IAC pin would trigger the brownout
condition discussed in Section 4.3.5 below.
link
for the output voltage, drops to 49% of its nominal value.
Detection of brownout for a period of 56 ms disables the gate
drive. The device continues to monitor the input voltage while
in this condition. The CS1600 exits the brownout mode when
the input current scales up to, and stays above 56.4% of its
nominal value for a period of 56 ms.
To minimize false detects, the brownout detection circuit
increases the brownout detection time by a factor of 1.6 mS/V
for every volt differential between the minimum operating
voltage and the brownout threshold, following half of a line
cycle of exceeding the brownout threshold. The following
diagram illustrates the brownout sequence whereby the
CS1600 enters standby, and upon recovery from brownout,
enters normal operation..
Figure 15. Brownout
4.3.6Over-temperature Protection
Over-temperature protection is activated and PFC switching is
disabled when the die temperature of the device exceeds
125°C. There is a hysteresis of about 30°C before resumption
of normal operation.
4.4 Standby (STBY) Function
The standby (STBY) pin may be used as a means to force the
CS1600 into a non-operating, low-power state. The STBY
input should be driven by an open-collector/open-drain
device. Internal to the pin, there is a pull-up resistor connected
to the VDD pin as shown in Figure 16. A filter capacitance of
about 1000 pF is recommended while this pin is being used.
4.3.5Brownout Protection
Brownout occurs when the current representing the rectified
input voltage, nominally 100% of the reference current used

1% or lower tolerance resistors are recommended to
maximize the tightly toleranced system behavior provided by
the unique digital controller in the CS1600. Resistors may be
separated into two or more series elements if voltage
breakdown and/or regulatory compliance is of concern.
5.1.2PFC Input Filter Capacitor
For a typical 115 W PFC output stage required to pow er up a
108 W fluorescent ballast, an input filter capacitance of
0.33 μF is recommended. Capacitor tolerances and the value
of the EMI filter capacitor need to be considered when
selecting the value of the capacitor to be used in this
application.
Equation 3 can be rewritten to calculate the PFC boost
Inductor, L
The RMS current rating for the inductor is estimated using an
scaling factor used to account for variations in the input
current shape across the AC line cycle, over and above the
nominally calculated value. The nominal value before using
the scaling factor is as follows:
, as follows:

5.1.4PFC MOSFET
The peak voltage stress on the PFC MOSFET is a diode drop
above the output voltage. Accounting for leakage spikes, for
the 460 V output application, a 600 V FET is recommended.
The FET should be able to handle the same peak current as
that seen through the inductor. This would amount to 3.96 A.
The scaling factor to determine the RMS current through the
MOSFET for a 108 V input is about 1.15, and the minimum
RMS current rating, I
, required for the FET is

calculated as follows:
where

The PFC diode peak current is equal to the inductor peak

where

following equation:
Inductor tolerances should be considered when estimating the
peak currents present in the application.
The internal control algorithm of the controller dictates that the
peak inductor current seen in the application could be as high
as a pre-defined threshold of 0.001984 time s the inverse of
the inductor, which in this example amounts to 4.72 A. Care
needs to be taken to ensure that the saturation current rating
of the PFC boost inductor factors in this threshold used for the
protection schemes.
For a 40 V ripple and minimum line frequency of 45 Hz, the

The PFC diode average current is calculated as follows:
5.1.6PFC Output Capacitor
The output capacitor needs to be designed to meet the voltage
ripple and hold-up time requirements. In the case of a costsensitive ballast application, the hold-up requirement is not a
key requirement.
To address the output ripple requirements, the following
equation may be used as a guide:
output capacitance needed is calculated as:The voltage rating on the capacitor needs to account for the
operation of the device before it hits the overvoltage protection
threshold. This is typically 105% of nominal value, which is
483 V. With the ripple voltage factored in, 22 μF of
capacitance rated at 500 V would suffice for this application.
