This user guide supports the evaluation kit for the FLS3217N. It should be used in
conjunction with the FLS3217N datasheet as well as Fairchild’s application notes and
technical support team. Please visit Fairchild’s website at www.fairchildsemi.com

specification, schematic, bill of materials, and typical operating characteristics.
1.1. General Description
The FLS3217N is an active Power Factor Correction (PFC) controller using single-stage
flyback topology. Primary-side regulation and single-stage topology minimize cost,
reduce external components and such as input bulk capacitor and feedback circuitry. To
improve power factor and 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 Discontinuous
Conduction Mode (DCM) operation with higher efficiency and simple design. FLS3217N
provides protections such as open LED, short LED and over temperature.

over-voltage protection level can be controlled by the turns ratio of auxiliary and
secondary windings. The results were measured by using actual LED load. Open-LED
condition; C1: [V
FLS3217N shows excellent power factor and performance. Total harmonic discharge is
much less than the 20% specification. The results were measured 30 minutes after startup
by using actual LED load.

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.
