The following user guide supports the evaluation kit for the FL7732. It should be used in
conjunction with the FL7732 datasheet as well as Fairchild’s application notes and
technical support team. Please visit Fairchild’s website at www.fairchildsemi.com
1. Introduction
This document describes the proposed solution for a universal line voltage T8 LED lamp
using the FL7732 Primary Side Regulator(PSR) single-stage controller. The input
voltage range is 90V
500mA at 35V
supply specification, schematic, bill of materials, and the typical operating characteristics.
1.1. General Description
The FL7732 is an active Power Factor Correction (PFC) controller using single-stage
flyback topology. Primary-side regulation and single-stage topology reduce external
components, such as input bulk capacitor and feedback circuitry, and minimize cost. To
improve power factor and Total Harmonic Discharge (THD), constant on-time control is
utilized with an internal error amplifier and a low-bandwidth compensator. Precise
constant-current control regulates accurate output current, independent of input voltage
and output voltage. Operating frequency is proportionally changed by output voltage to
guarantee DCM operation with high efficiency and simple design. FL7732 provides
open-LED, short-LED, and over-temperature protections.

In short-LED condition, the OCP level is reduced from 0.7V to 0.2V because the FL7732
lowers the OCP level when the V
conduction time. The results are measured using actual LED load.

In open-LED condition, output voltage is limited around 30V by OVP in VDD. Output
over-voltage protection level can be controlled by the turn ratio of the auxiliary and
secondary windings.
FL7732 shows excellent THD performance. THD is much less than 30% of the
specification. Power factor is very high with enough margin from 0.9. The results were
measured 30 minutes after startup.

LIFE SUPPORT POLICY
FAIRCHILD’S PRODUCTS ARE NOT AUTHORIZED FOR USE AS CRITICAL COMPONENTS IN LIFE SUPPORT DEVICES OR SYSTEMS
WITHOUT THE EXPRESS WRITTEN APPROVAL OF THE PRESIDENT OF FAIRCHILD SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION.
As used herein:
1. Life support devices or systems are devices or systems which, (a) are
intended for surgical implant into the body, or (b) support or sustain
life, or (c) whose failure to perform when properly used in accordance
with instructions for use provided in the labeling, can be reasonably
expected to result in significant injury to the user.
ANTI-COUNTERFEITING POLICY
Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation's Anti-Counterfeiting Policy. Fairchild's Anti-Counterfeiting Policy is also stated on our external website,
www.fairchildsemi.com, under Sales Support.
Counterfeiting of semiconductor parts is a growing problem in the industry. All manufacturers of semiconductor products are experiencing
counterfeiting of their parts. Customers who inadvertently purchase counterfeit parts experience many problems such as loss of brand reputation,
substandard performance, failed applications, and increased cost of production and manufacturing delays. Fairchild is taking strong measures to
protect ourselves and our customers from the proliferation of counterfeit parts. Fairchild strongly encourages customers to purchase Fairchild parts
either directly from Fairchild or from Authorized Fairchild Distributors who are listed by country on our web page cited above. Products customers buy
either from Fairchild directly or from Authorized Fairchild Distributors are genuine parts, have full traceability, meet Fairchild's quality standards for
handling and storage and provide access to Fairchild's full range of up-to-date technical and product information. Fairchild and our Authorized
Distributors will stand behind all warranties and will appropriately address any warranty issues that may arise. Fairchild will not provide any warranty
coverage or other assistance for parts bought from Unauthorized Sources. Fairchild is committed to combat this global problem and encourage our
customers to do their part in stopping this practice by buying direct or from authorized distributors.
2. A critical component is any component of a life support device or
system whose failure to perform can be reasonably expected to
cause the failure of the life support device or system, or to affect its
safety or effectiveness.
