12 V - 150 W resonant converter with synchronous rectification
using the L6563H, L6599A, and SRK2000
Introduction
This application note describes the characteristics and features of a 150 W SMPS demonstration board (EVL150W-ADP-SR), tailored to all-in-one computer power supply (PS) specifications.
The characteristics of this design are the very high efficiency and low consumption at light load which make it a viable solution for applications compliant with ENERGY STAR eligibility criteria (EPA rev. 5.0 computer and EPA rev. 2.0 EPS). One of the key factors to achieving high efficiency at heavy load is the SRK2000. This synchronous rectification (SR) driver for LLC resonant converters allows a significant decrease in secondary side losses.
Standby consumption is very low thanks to the sleep function embedded in the SRK2000 and the high voltage start-up circuit integrated in the L6563H. The possibility of driving the PFC burst mode via the L6599A PFC_STOP pin dramatically boosts light load efficiency.
Additionally, a secondary sensing circuit, dedicated to driving the primary controller into burst mode, reduces deviation of light load efficiency against resonant circuit parameter spread, improving the repeatability of design in production volumes.

1 Main characteristics and circuit description

The main features of the SMPS are:
Input mains range: 90 ÷ 264 Vac - frequency 45 ÷ 65 Hz
Output voltage: 12 V at 12.5 A continuous operation
Mains harmonics: Acc. to EN61000-3-2 Class-D or JEITA-MITI Class-D
Standby mains consumption: <0.2 W at 230 Vac
Efficiency at nominal load: > 91 % at 115 Vac
EMI: according to EN55022-Class-B
Safety: according to EN60950
Dimensions: 65x154 mm, 28 mm component maximum height
PCB: double side, 70 µm, FR-4, mixed PTH/SMT.
The circuit is composed of two stages: a front-end PFC using the L6563H and an LLC resonant converter based on the L6599A and the SRK2000, controlling the SR MOSFETs on the secondary side. The SR driver and the rectifier MOSFETs are mounted on a daughterboard.
The L6563H is a current mode PFC controller operating in transition mode and implements a high voltage start-up source to power on the converter.
The L6599A integrates all the functions necessary to properly control the resonant converter with a 50 % fixed duty cycle and working with variable frequency.
The output rectification is managed by the SRK2000, an SR driver dedicated to LLC resonant topology.
The PFC stage works as the pre-regulator and powers the resonant stage with a constant voltage of 400 V. The downstream converter operates only if the PFC is on and regulating. In this way, the resonant stage can be optimized for a narrow input voltage range.
The L6599A's LINE pin (pin 7) is dedicated to this function. It is used to prevent the resonant converter from working with an input voltage that is too low which can cause incorrect capacitive mode operation. If the bulk voltage (PFC output) is below 380 V, the resonant start-up is not allowed. The L6599A LINE pin internal comparator has a hysteresis allowing to set the turn-on and turn-off voltage independently. The turn-off threshold has been set to 300 V in order to avoid capacitive mode operation but allow the resonant stage to operate even in the case of mains sag and consequent PFC output dip.
The transformer uses the integrated magnetic approach, incorporating the resonant series inductance. Therefore, no external, additional coil is needed for the resonance. The transformer configuration chosen for the secondary winding is center-tap.
On the secondary side, the SRK2000 core function is to switch on each synchronous rectifier MOSFET whenever the corresponding transformer half-winding starts conducting (i.e. when the MOSFET body diode starts conducting) and then switching it off when the flowing current approaches zero. For this purpose, the IC is provided with two pins (DVS1 and DVS2) sensing the MOSFET drain voltage level.
One of the SRK2000’s main characteristics is the ability to automatically detect light load operation and enter sleep mode, disabling MOSFET driving and decreasing its consumption. This function allows great power saving at light load with respect to benchmark SR solutions.

Main characteristics and circuit description AN3233
In order to decrease the output capacitors size, aluminium solid capacitors with very low ESR were preferred to standard electrolytic ones. Therefore, high frequency output voltage ripple is limited and output LC filter is not required. This choice allows a saving of output inductor power dissipation which can be significant in the case of high output current applications like this.
Start-up sequence
The PFC acts as master and the resonant stage can operate only if the PFC output is delivering the nominal output voltage. Therefore, the PFC starts first and then the downstream converter turns on. At the beginning, the L6563H is supplied by the integrated high voltage start-up circuit; as soon as the PFC starts switching, a charging pump connected to the PFC inductor supplies both PFC and resonant controllers and the HV internal current source is disabled. Once both stages have been activated, the controllers are supplied also by the auxiliary winding of the resonant transformer, assuring correct supply voltage even during standby operation.
As the L6563H integrated HV start-up circuit is turned off, and therefore is not dissipative during the normal operation, it gives a significant contribution to power consumption reduction when the power supply operates at light load, in accordance with worldwide standby standards currently required.
Standby power saving
The board has a burst mode function implemented which allows power saving during light load operation.
The L6599A's STBY pin (pin 5) senses the optocoupler’s collector voltage (U3), which is related to the feedback control. This signal is compared to an internal reference (1.24 V). If the voltage on the pin is lower than the reference, the IC enters an idle state and its quiescent current is reduced. When the voltage exceeds the reference by 50 mV, the controller restarts the switching.
The burst mode operation load threshold can be programmed by properly choosing the resistor connecting the optocoupler to pin RFMIN (R34). Basically, R34 sets the switching frequency at which the controller enters burst mode.
As the power at which the converter enters burst mode operation heavily influences converter efficiency at light load, it must be properly set. Anyhow, despite this threshold being well set, if its tolerance is too wide, the light load efficiency of mass production converters has a considerable spread.
The main factors affecting the burst mode threshold tolerance are the control circuitry tolerances and, even more influential, the tolerances of resonant inductance and the resonant capacitor. Slight changes of resonance frequency can affect the switching frequency and, consequently, notably change the burst mode threshold.
Typical production spread of these parameters, which fits the requirements of many applications, are no longer acceptable if very low power consumption in standby must be guaranteed.
As reducing production tolerance of resonant components causes cost increases, a new cost-effective solution is required.
The key point of the proposed solution is to directly sense the output load to set the burst mode threshold. In this way the resonant elements parameters no longer affect this threshold. The implemented circuit block diagram is shown in Figure 2.

Both L6599A and L6563H implement their own burst mode function but, in order to improve the overall power supply efficiency, at light load the L6599A drives the L6563H via the PFC_STOP pin and enables the PFC burst mode: as soon as the L6599A stops switching due to load drops, its PFC_STOP pin pulls down the L6563H’s PFC_OK pin disabling PFC switching. Thanks to this simple circuit, the PFC is forced into idle state when the resonant stage is not switching and rapidly wakes up when the downstream converter restarts switching.
Fast voltage feed forward
The voltage on the L6563H VFF pin (pin 5) is the peak value of the voltage on the MULT pin (pin 3). The RC network (R15+R26, C12) connected to VFF completes a peak-holding circuit. This signal is necessary to derive information of the RMS input voltage to compensate the loop gain that is mains voltage dependent.
Generally speaking, if the time constant is too small, the voltage generated is affected by a considerable amount of ripple at twice the mains frequency causing distortion of the current reference (resulting in higher THD and lower PF). If the time constant is too large, there is a considerable delay in setting the right amount of feed-forward, resulting in excessive overshoot or undershoot of the pre-regulator’s output voltage in response to large line voltage changes.
To overcome this issue, the L6563H implements the fast voltage feed forward function. As soon as the voltage on the VFF pin decreases by a set threshold (40 mV typically), a mains dip is assumed and an internal switch rapidly discharges the VFF capacitor via a 10 k resistor. Thanks to this feature, it is possible to set an RC circuit with a long time constant, assuring a low THD, keeping a fast response to mains dip.
Ω
Brownout protection
Brownout protection prevents the circuit from working with abnormal mains levels. It is easily achieved using the RUN pin (pin 12) of the L6563H: this pin is connected through a resistor divider to the VFF pin (pin 5), which provides the information of the mains voltage peak value. An internal comparator enables the IC operations if the mains level is correct, within the nominal limits. At startup, if the input voltage is below 90 Vac (typ.) inhibited
.
Output voltage feedback loop
The feedback loop is implemented by means of a typical circuit using the dedicated operational amplifier of TSM1014A modulating the current in the optocoupler’s diode. The second comparator embedded in the TSM1014A - usually dedicated to constant current regulation - is here utilized for burst mode as previously described.
On the primary side, R34 and D17 connect the RFMIN pin (pin 4) to the optocoupler’s phototransistor closing the feedback loop. R31, which connects the same pin to ground, sets

the minimum switching frequency. The R-C series R44 and C18 sets both soft-start maximum frequency and duration.
L6599A overload and short-circuit protection
The current into the primary winding is sensed by the loss-less circuit R41, C27, D11, D10, R39, and C25 and it is fed into the ISEN pin (pin 6). In the case of overcurrent, the voltage on the pin overpasses an internal threshold (0.8 V) that triggers a protection sequence. The capacitor (C45) connected to the DELAY pin (pin 2) is charged by an internal 150 µA current generator and is slowly discharged by the external resistor (R24). If the voltage on the pin reaches 2 V, the soft-start capacitor is completely discharged so that the switching frequency is pushed to its maximum value. As the voltage on the pin exceeds 3.5 V the IC stops switching and the internal generator is turned off, so that the voltage on the pin decays because of the external resistor. The IC is soft-restarted as the voltage drops below 0.3 V. In this way, under short-circuit conditions, the converter works intermittently with very low input average power.
Open loop protection
Both circuit stages, PFC and resonant, are equipped with their own overvoltage protections.
The PFC controller L6563H monitors its output voltage via the resistor divider connected to a dedicated pin (PFC_OK, pin 7) protecting the circuit in case of loop failures or disconnection. If a fault condition is detected, the internal circuitry latches the L6563H operations and, by means of the PWM_LATCH pin (pin 8), it also latches the L6599A via the DIS pin (pin 8). The converter is kept latched by the L6563H internal HV start-up circuit that supplies the IC by charging the Vcc capacitor periodically. To resume converter operation, a mains restart is necessary.
The output voltage is monitored by sensing the Vcc voltage. If Vcc voltage overrides the D12 breakdown voltage, Q9 pulls down the L6563H INV pin latching the converter.

AN3233 Efficiency measurement

2 Efficiency measurement

EPA rev. 2.0 external power supply compliance verification
Tab l e 1 shows the no-load consumption and the overall efficiency, measured at the nominal
mains voltages. At 115 Vac the average efficiency is 90.6 %, while at 230 Vac it is 91.8 %. Both values are much higher than the 87 % required by EPA rev 2.0 external power supply (EPS) limits.
The efficiency at nominal load, 230 Vac, is 94 %, which is a very high efficiency for a double stage converter and confirms the benefit of implemented SR.
Also at no load the board performances are superior: maximum no-load consumption at nominal mains voltage is 200 mW; this value is significantly lower than the limit imposed by the ENERGY STAR program which is 500 mW.
