This user guide supports the evaluation kit for the FL7701. It should be used in
conjunction with the FL7701 datasheets 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 an universal input 18.3W LED ballast
using the FL7701. The input voltage range is 90V
output with a constant current of 470mA at 39V
description of FL7701, the power supply specification, schematic, bill of materials, and
the typical operating characteristics.
1.1. General Description
The FL7701 LED lamp driver is a simple IC with a Power Factor Correction (PFC)
function. The special “adopted digital” technique of the IC can automatically detect input
voltage condition Zero-Crossing Detector (ZCD) and send a internal reference signal for
high power factor. When AC input is applied to the IC, PFC function is automatically
enabled. When DC input is applied to the IC, PFC function is automatically disabled. The
FL7701 does not need a bulk capacitor (electrolytic capacitor) for supply rails stability,
which can significantly affect to LED lamp system.

Notes:
1. The output current has I
in parallel with the LED. Ensure the capacitor voltage rating is high enough to withstand an
open-LED condition or use a Zener diode for protection.
2. The output power is not equal to the apparent power due to the slight phase shift between the
output voltage and current.

Figure 8 through Figure 11 show the typical startup performance at different input
voltage conditions. When AC input voltage is applied to the system, the FL7701
automatically operates in AC Mode after finishing an internally fixed, seven-cycle,
soft-start period.
The recommended switching frequency of FL7701 is around 20kHz ~ 250kHz and it is
determined by the RT resistor and has prefixed output frequency in RT-open condition.
The maximum duty ratio is fixed below 50% and pre-fixed minimum on time is around
400ns. There are two considerable points to design properly. The first, consider the
minimum duty at low input voltage because the FL7701 cannot get higher than 50% duty
ratio. This means the FL7701 should have duty margin. The other is minimum on-time at
high input voltage condition. The FL7701 cannot control output power when the set point
is smaller than on time at very high input voltage. On-time margin must be considered.
Figure 13 through Figure 22 show the normal operation waveforms by input voltage and
input frequency. The output voltage and current always keeps a certain output level with
(input frequency ×2) ripple and the test results are provided in Table 5.
Figure 24 shows the open-load condition test method. If the LED disconnects from the
system, the output voltage increases up to match the voltage of the input source. Add the
output voltage clamping circuit or the special protection circuit to protect components,
especially output capacitor.
Figure 24. Open-LED Condition
The Figure 25 shows the test results of waveform in LED-open condition; the output
voltage clamps a certain level.
Figure 26 and Figure 27 show the test method and result of an inductor short. The
FL7701 uses an Abnormal Over-Current Protection (AOCP) function, limiting the
current on RCS in the event of an inductor short.

Figure 28 shows system efficiency results for different AC input voltage frequency
conditions. As shown, the input frequency has negligible effect on system efficiency.
Figure 30 shows the Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) performance at different input
frequencies. Test results are similar; THD meets international regulations (under 30%).
The Figure 31 through Figure 35 show the temperature checking results on the board,
depending on different input voltage conditions. All of the components temperatures are
below 69°C in whole input voltage condition.

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
