STEVAL-ILL042V1: high power factor flyback LED driver
based on the L6562A and TSM101
Introduction
The high-PF flyback configuration, used to drive a new design of the 60 W LED array, is
based on the L6562A and the TSM101 controller (Figure 1 ).
This configuration uses an isolated feedback with an optocoupler and a secondary side

and the other for constant current control. A precise internal current generator, available,
can be used to offset the intervention threshold of the constant current regulation.
The L6562A is a PFC controller operating in transition-mode. The highly linear multiplier
includes a special circuit, able to reduce AC input current distortion, that allows wide-rangemains operation with an extremely low THD, even over a large load range.
The TSM101 compares the DC voltage and current level of a switching power supply to an
internal reference. It provides a feedback through an optocoupler to the L6562A controller in
the primary side.
This system, designed by using the L6562A and the TSM101 controller, offers more
advantages in terms of output current and voltage stability.
The input capacitance is so small here that the input voltage is very close to a rectified
sinewave. Besides, the control loop has a narrow bandwidth so as to be little sensitive to the
twice-mains frequency ripple appearing at the output.
Efficiency is high at heavy load, more than 90% is achievable: TM operation ensures slow
turn-on losses in the MOSFET and the high PF reduces dissipation in the bridge rectifier.
The output voltage exhibits a considerable twice-mains frequency ripple, unavoidable if a
high PF is desired. Speeding up the control loop may lead to a compromise between a
reasonably low output ripple and a reasonably high PF. To keep the ripple low, a large output
capacitance (in the thousand F) is anyway required.

1 Board block diagram
Figure 2 shows a block diagram of the system. The complete circuit is made up of two
stages:
● The flyback converter which regulates the output voltage and performs the power factor
correction.
● The current and voltage controller stage which regulates the current and voltage output
feedback.
This topology, thanks to STMicroelectronics ICs L6265A and TSM101, realizes a high-PF
flyback converter with voltage and current output regulation.
