This user guide supports the evaluation kit for the FL7730. It should be used in
conjunction with the FL7730 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 low-line voltage LED ballast using the
FL7730 PSR single-stage controller. The input voltage range is 180V
there is one DC output with a constant current of 380mA at 22V
contains general description of FL7730, the power supply specification, schematic, bill of
materials, and the typical operating characteristics.
1.1. General Description
The FL7730 is an active Power Factor Correction (PFC) controller using single-stage
flyback topology. Dimming control with no flicker is implemented by an analog sensing
method. Primary-side regulation and single-stage topology reduce external components
such as input bulk capacitor and feedback circuitry and minimize cost. To improve good
power factor and Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), constant on-time control is utilized
with 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 higher efficiency. FL7730 provides protections such as open-LED,
short-LED, and over-temperature protection.

6.2. Operation Waveforms
In steady state, line compensation regulates output current regardless of input voltage
variations. Output current ripple is ±65mA with a rated output current of 380mA.
Constant current deviation in the output voltage range from 10V to 28V is less than 3.1%
at each line input voltage. Line regulation at the rated output voltage (22V) is less than
1.7%.

In short-LED condition, the OCP level is reduced from 0.7V to 0.2V because the FL7730
lowers the OCP level when V
time. The output current in the short-LED condition is less than 1.5A, which doesn’t
damage any external components.

Dimming operation waveforms are shown in Figures 18-20. Active damper, RC bleeder,
and dimming control in FL7730 implement flicker-free dimming operation. Spike current
at dimmer firing is less than 1A.

Output current is controlled by dimming function when rotating dimmer switch as in the
dimming curve in Figure 21. The dimming control block in FL7730 smoothly changes
regulated output current by detecting dimming angle.
