Reference design: high performance, L6599-based HB-LLC
adapter with PFC for laptop computers
Introduction
This note describes the performances of a 90 W, wide-range mains, power-factor-corrected AC-DC adapter reference board. Its electrical specification is tailored on a typical hi-end portable computer power adapter. The peculiarities of this design are the very low no-load input consumption (<0.4 W) and the very high global efficiency.
The architecture is based on a two-st age approach: a front -end PFC pre-regulato r based on the L6563 TM PFC controller and a downstream multi-resonant half-bridge converter that makes use of the new L6599 resonant controller. The Standby function of the L6599, pushing the DCDC converter upon recognition of a light load to work in burst mode and the logic dedicated to stop the PFC stage allows meeting the severe no-load consumption requirement.
The PFC TM operation and the top-level efficiency performance of the HB-LLC topology provide also a very good overall efficiency of the circuit.

1 Main characteristics and circuit description

The main characteristics of the SMPS are listed here below:
Universal inpu t mains range: 90÷264 Vac - frequency 45 to 65 Hz
Output v oltage: 19 V@4.7 A continuous operation
Mains harmonics: Compliance with EN61000-3-2 specifications
Standby mains consumption: Typ. 0.4 W @230 Vac; Max 0.5 W @265 Vac
Overall efficiency: better than 90%
EMI: Compliance with EN55022-class B specifications
Safety: Compliance with EN60950 specifications
Low profile design: 25 mm maximum height
PCB single layer: 78x174 mm, mixed PTH/SMT technologies
The circuit consists of two stages: a front - end PF C imp l eme nt ing the L65 63 and a r eson ant DC/DC converter based on the new resonant controller, the L6599. The Power Factor Corrected (PFC) stage delivers a stable 400 VDC and provides for the reduction of the mains harmonic, allowing to meet European standard EN61000-3-2. The controller is the L6563 (U1), working in transition mode and integrating all functions needed to control the PFC and interface the downstream resonant converter. The power stage of the PFC is a conventional boost converter, connected to the output of the rectifier bridge. It includes coil L2, diode D4 and capacitor C9. The boost s witch is re presented by the po w er MOSFET Q1. The L2 secondary winding (pins 8-10) is dedicated to provide to the L6563 the information about the PFC coil core demagnetization, necessary to the controller for the TM operation. The divider R1, R2 and R14 provides to the L6563 the information of the instantaneous voltage that is used to modulate the boost current, and to derive some further information like the average value of the AC line, used by the V function keeps the ou tput voltage almost independent of the mains on e . The divide r R7, R8 , R9, R10 detects the output voltage . The second divider R11, R12, R13 and R28 protects the circuit in case of voltage loop fail. The second stage is a resonant converter, half bridge topology, working in ZVS. The controller is the new L6599, incorporating the necessary functions to drive properly the Half-bridge by a 50 percent fixed duty cycle with dead-time, working with variable frequency.
(voltage feed-forward) function. This

The main features of the L6599 are a non-linear soft-start, a new current protection pin (ISEN, pin 6) that programs the hiccup mode timing, a dedicat ed pin for sequencing or brown-out (LINE) and a stand-by pin (STBY) for burst mode operation at light load. The transformer uses the integrated magnetic approach, incorporating the resonant series inductance. Thus, no any external additional coil is needed for the resonance. The transformer configuration chosen for the secondary winding is centre tap, using two Schottky rectifiers, type STPS10L60FP. The feedback loop is implemented by means of a typical circuit using a TL431 modifying the current in t he optocoupler diode . The optocoupler transistor modulates the current from pin 4, so the frequency will change accordingly, thus achieving the output voltage regulation. Resistor R34 sets the maximum operating frequency and the load at which the controller starts to work in Burst mod e. In case of a short circuit, the current into the primary winding is detected by the lossless circuit R41, C27, D11, D10, R39, and C25 and it is fed into the pin 6. In case of o v erload, th e v oltage on pin #6 will overpass an internal threshold that will trigger a protection sequence via pin #2, keeping the current flo wing in the circuit at a safe lev el. In case of output v oltage loo p f ailure, the intervention of the zener diode connected to pin #8 (DIS) will activate the latched protection of the L6599. The DIS pin can be also activated by the L6563 via the PWM_LATCH pin in case of PFC loop failure.

2.1 Efficiency measurements

Table 1 and Table 2 show the output voltage measurements at nominal mains with different
load conditions. Efficiency is then calcu lated . For all measurements, both at full load and no load operation, the input pow er has been mea sured b y a digita l po wer meter, Yokogawa WT-
210. Particular attention has to be paid when measuring input power at full load in order to avoid measurem ent errors due to the voltage drop on cables and connections. Therefore please connect the WT210 voltmeter termination to the board inpu t connector . F or the same reason please measure the output voltage at the output connector or use th e r emot e d etect option of your active load for a correct voltage measurement.

In Table 1, Table 2 and Figure 2, the overall circuit efficiency is measured at different loads, powering the board at the tw o nominal input mains v oltages. The measures hav e been do ne after 30 minutes of warm-up at maximum load. The high efficiency of the PFC working in transition mode and the very high efficiency of the resonant stage w orking in ZVS , provides for an overall efficiency better than 90%. This is a significant high number for a two-stage converter delivering an output current of 4.7 amps, especially at low input mains voltage where the PFC conduction losses increase. Even at lower loads, the efficiency remains still high.

In Figure 3 are reported some waveforms during steady state operation of the circuit at full load. The CH2 waveform is the oscillator signal at pin #3 of the L6599, while the CH3 waveform is the PFC output voltage , po wering th e resonant stage . The CH1 tra ce is the ha lf bridge waveform, driving the resonant circuit. In the picture it is not obvious, but the switching frequency is normally slightly modulated following the PFC 100 Hz ripple that is rejected by the resonant control circuitry. The switching frequency has been chosen around 90 kHz, in order to have a good trade off between transformer losses and its dimensions.

AN2321 Test results
The transformer primary current wave shape is the CH4 trace. As shown, it is almost sinusoidal, because the operating frequency is slightly above the resonance of the leakage inductance and the resonant capacitor (C28).
In this condition, the circuit has a good margin for ZVS operations providing good efficiency and the almost sinusoidal wave shape provides for an extremely low EMI generation.
Figure 4. Resonant circuit secondary side waveforms
CH2: +19V Output voltage ripple and noise CH3: D12 rectifiers anode voltage CH4: D12 rectifiers current
In Figure 4 are represented some waveforms relevant to the secondary side: the rectifiers reverse voltage is measured by CH3 and the peak to peak value is indicated on the right of the picture. It is a bit higher than the theoretical value that would be 2(V about 40 V. It is possible to observe a small ringing on the bottom side of the waveform, responsible for this difference. The channel CH4 (green in the picture) shows the current in the diode D12, equal to that one flowing in D13. Even this current shape is almost a sine wave, its average value is half of the output current. The ripple and noise on the output voltage is measured by CH2.
Thanks to the advantages of the resonant converter, the high frequency ripple and noise of the output voltage is o nly 100mV (0.52%) including spik es, whi le the resi dual ripple at mains frequency is 130 mV at maximum load and any line condition.

2.3 Stand-by & no load power consumption

The board is specifically designed for li ght load and zero load operation, like during operation with load disconnected. The result s are reported in the diagram of Figure 5, he re following. As high lighted in the diagram of Figure 4, the input power at no load is always below 0.4 W for any input mains voltage. Thanks to the L6599 stand-by function, at light load conditions both the resonant converter and the PFC work skipping switching cycles, according to the load.

The result is visible in Figure 6: the two converters are now working for a very short time, the output voltage is perf ectly regula ted at its nominal v alue , with just a negligib le residual ripple over imposed (~14 0mV). Thanks to the burst mode and the reduced number of switching cycles the relevant losses are drastically reduced, therefore input power drawn from the mains is very low . How e v er , if the ou tput v oltage has a sudden load change , both con v erters are ready to react immediately, thus avoiding output v oltage drops. In Figure 7 the details of the wav eforms captured in Figure 6 show some details during the switching period and additionally, the L6563 RUN pin (#10) signal is captured. This pin is connected to the PFC_STOP pin (#9) of the L6599 and enables the operation of the PFC during the burst pulse of the resonant.

Figure 8 shows the waveforms of the outpu t v oltage and current during a load v ariation from
0 to 100%. During operation at zero load, the circuit is w orking in burst mode as described before then, as soon as the load incr eases it works in continuous switching operation. As shown, due to the fact that the PFC is always operating, the circuit response is fast enough to avoid outp ut vo ltage dips . In Figure 9, the opposite load transition is ch eck e d (100% to 0 ). Even in this case the tr ansition in clean and doesn 't show any prob lem f or th e output v olt age regulation.
Thus, it is clear that the proposed architecture is the most suitable for power su pply operating with strong load variation without any problem related to the load regulation.

2.4 Short circuit protection

The L6599 is equipped with a current sensing input (pin #6, ISEN) and a dedicated over current management system. The current flowing in the circuit is detected and the signal is fed into the ISEN pin. It is internally connected to the input of a first comparator, referenced to 0.8 V, and to that of a second comparator referenced to 1.5 V. If the voltage externally applied to the pin by either circuit in Figure 8 exceeds 0.8 V, the first comparator is tripped causing an internal switch to be turne d on and dis c ha r ging th e sof t- s ta rt capacitor CSS.
Under output short circuit, this operation results in a nearly constant peak primary current. With the L6599 the designer can progra m externally the maximum time (TSH) that the converter is allowed to run overloaded or under short circuit conditions. Overloads or short circuits lasting less than TSH will not cause any other action, hence providing the system with immunity to short duration phenomena. If, instead, TSH is exceeded, an overload protection (OLP) procedure is activated that shuts down the L6599 and, in case of continuous overload/short circuit, results in continuous intermittent operation with a user­defined duty cycle. This function is realized with the pin DELAY (#2), by means of a capacitor C45 and the parallel resistor R24 connected to ground. As the voltage on the ISEN pin exceeds 0.8V t he first OCP comparator, in addition to discharging CSS, turns on an internal current generator that via the DELA Y pin charges C45. As the voltage on C45 is
3.5 V, the L6599 sto p s switching and the PFC_STOP pin is pulled low. Also the internal generator is turned off, so that C45 will now be slowly discharged by R24. The IC will restart when the voltage on C45 will be less than 0.3 V. Additionally, if the voltage on the ISEN pin reaches 1.5 V for any reason (e.g. transformer saturation), the second comparator will be triggered, the L6599 will shutdown and the operation will be resumed after an on-off cycle.

The L6599 short circuit protection sequence described above is visib le in the Figure 10. The on/off operation is controlled by the voltage on pin #2 (DELAY), providing for the hiccup mode of the circuit.
Thanks to this control pin, the designer can select the hiccup mode timing and th us keep the average output current at a safe lev el. Please note on the picture left side the very low mean current flowing in the shorted output, less than 0.3 A. A better detail of the waveforms can

be appreciated in Figure 11 where it is possible to recognize the oper ation phases described above.

2.5 Over voltage protections

Both circuit stages, PFC and resonant, are equipped with their own over voltage protection. The PFC controller L6563 is internally equipped with a dynamic and a static over voltage protection circuit detecting the error amp lifie r via th e voltage divider de d icat ed to th e feedback loop to detect the PFC output voltage. In case the internal threshold is exceeded, the IC limits the voltage to a programmable, safe value. Moreover , in the L6563 there is an additional protection against loop failures using an additional divider (R11, R12, R13, R28) connected to a dedicated pin (PFC_OK, #7) protecting the circuit in case of loop failures, disconnection or deviation from the nominal value of the feedback loop divider. Hence the PFC output voltage is always under control and in case a fault condition is detected the PFC_OK circuitry will latch the L6563 operations and, by means of the PWM_LATCH pin (#8) it will latch the L6599 as well via the pin #8 (DIS).
The pin DIS is also used to protect the resonant stage against over voltage or loop disconnections. In fact, the zener diode D8 connected to pin DIS detects the voltage and in case of open loop it will conduct and voltage on pin DIS will exceed the internal threshold. Then the IC will be immediately shut down and its consumption reduced at a low value. This state will be latched and will be necessary to let the voltage on the Vcc pin go below the UVLO threshold to reset the latch and restart the IC operation.

In the meantime the L6599 is kept inactive by the LINE pin (#7) until the PFC voltage reaches the threshold

set by the divider R11, R12, R13, R28. As so on as it reaches th e L6599 LINE pin th reshold, the resonant starts to operate. Hence the output voltage rises according to the soft-start and reaches the nominal level. This sequence provides for the advantages of a perfect sequencing of the circuit at start-up with the PFC acting as master and avoids complex additional circuitry for the correct start-up of the circuit in all conditio ns. T he circuit has been tested in all line and load conditions showing a correct start-up sequence. The used hi gh voltage start-up circuit used avoids useless po wer dissipation during light load operation and provides for an almost constant wake-up time of the circuit.
In Figure 13, the L6599 start-up sequence is analyzed: as soon as the LINE pin (#7) enables the operation of the L65 99 co nverter's soft start-up sequence is triggered therefore initially, the capacitor C18 is totally discharged, and the resistor R44 is effectively in parallel to R24 thus the resulting initial frequency is determined by R
and R
SS
only, since the
Fmin
optocoupler's phototransistor is off ( as long as the output v oltage is not too f ar a wa y from the regulated value). C18 is progressively charged until its voltage reaches the reference voltage (2 V) and, consequently, the current through R44 goes to zero.
During this frequency sweep the operating frequency will decrease follo wing the exponential charge of C18 that will count balance the non-linear frequency dependence of the tank circuit. As a result, the average input current will smoothly increase , without the peaking that occurs with linear frequency sweep, and the output voltage will reach the regulated value with almost no overshoot as the waveforms in the picture.
