1. General description
The SSL1623PH is a Switched Mode Power Supply (SMPS) controller IC that operates
directly from the rectified universal mains. It is implemented in the high voltage EZ-HV SOI
(Easy High Voltage Silicon-On-Insulator) process, combined with a low voltage BiCMOS
(Bipolar Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) process.
The device includes a high voltage power switch and a circuit for start-up directly from the
rectified mains voltage. A dedicated circuit for valley switching is built in, which makes a
very efficient slim-line electronic LED driver concept possible.
The SSL1623PH can operate in LED applications with a power range of up to 25 W. The
SSL152x family would be a better choice if power below 15 W is required.
In its most basic version of application the SSL1623PH acts as a voltage source. Here no
additional secondary electronics are required. A combined voltage and current source can
be realized with minimum costs for external components. Implementation of the
SSL1623PH renders an efficient and low cost LED power supply system.

8. Functional description
The SSL1623PH is the heart of a compact flyback converter, with the IC placed at the
primary side. The auxiliary winding of the transformer can be used for indirect feedback to
control the isolated output. This additional winding also powers the IC. A more accurate
control of the output voltage and/or current can be implemented with an additional
secondary sensing circuit and opto coupler feedback. The SSL1623PH can be used in a
constant power mode or in a constant current mode to drive LEDs.
The SSL1623PH uses voltage mode control. The frequency is determined by the
maximum transformer demagnetizing time and the time of the oscillator. In the first case,
the converter operates in the Self Oscillating Power Supply (SOPS) mode. In the latter
As soon as the voltage on pin VCC drops below the VCC(stop) level, the IC stops switching
and restarts from the rectified mains voltage.
8.2 Oscillator
The frequency of the oscillator is set by the external resistor and capacitor on pin RC. The
external capacitor is charged rapidly to the VRC(max) level and, starting from a new primary
stroke, it discharges to the VRC(min) level. Because the discharge is exponential, the
relative sensitivity of the duty factor to the regulation voltage at low duty factor is almost
equal to the sensitivity at high duty factors. This results in a more constant gain over the
duty factor range compared to systems with a linear sawtooth oscillator. Stable operation
at low duty factors is easily realized. For high efficiency, the frequency is reduced as soon
as the duty factor drops below a certain value. This is accomplished by increasing the
oscillator charge time.
To ensure that the capacitor can be charged within the charge time, the value of the
oscillator capacitor should be limited to approximately 1 nF.
The minimum duty factor of the switched mode power supply is 0 %. The maximum duty
factor is set to 75 % (typical value at 100 kHz oscillation frequency).

------------------------------ (1)
2π × L p C p
Where:
As soon as the oscillator voltage is high again and the secondary stroke has ended, the
circuit waits for a low drain voltage before starting a new primary stroke.
The primary stroke starts some time before the actual valley at low ringing frequencies,
and some time after the actual valley at high ringing frequencies. Figure 4 shows a typical
curve for a reflected voltage N × Vo of 80 V. This voltage is the output voltage Vo (see
Figure 5) transferred to the primary side of the transformer with the factor N (determined
by the turns ratio of the transformer). Figure 4 shows that the system switches exactly at
minimum drain voltage for ringing frequencies of 480 kHz, thus reducing the switch-on
losses to a minimum. At 200 kHz, the next primary stroke is started at 33 ° before the
valley. The switch-on losses are still reduced significantly.

8.5 Demagnetization
The system operates in discontinuous conduction mode all the time. As long as the
secondary stroke has not ended, the oscillator will not start a new primary stroke. During
the suppression time tsup(xfmr_ring), demagnetization recognition is suppressed. This
suppression may be necessary in applications where the transformer has a large leakage
inductance and at low output voltages.
8.6 Protections
8.7.1 Input
The input voltage range comprises the universal AC mains from 80 V to 276 V.
8.7.2 Accuracy
The accuracy of the complete converter, functioning as a voltage source with primary
sensing, is approximately 8 % (mainly dependent on the transformer coupling). The
accuracy with secondary sensing is defined by the accuracy of the external components.
For safety requirements in case of opto coupler feedback loss, the primary sensing
remains active when an overvoltage circuit is connected.
8.7.3 Efficiency
An efficiency of over 80 % at maximum output power can be achieved for a complete
converter designed for universal mains.
8.7.4 Ripple
A minimum ripple is obtained in a system designed for a maximum duty factor of 50 %
under normal operating conditions and a minimized dead time. The magnitude of the
ripple in the output voltage is determined by the frequency and duty factor of the
converter, the output current level, and the value and ESR of the output capacitor.
