General Description

The Supertex HV9906 allows the development of the smallest
possible, most reliable, offline and wide DC/DC conversion range
converters for driving LEDs and other applications. The HV9906
combines internally all the components required to operate directly
from the rectified AC line with a feedback mechanism that
eliminates filters & compensation components, and which can
close the loop with feedback from a discontinuous waveform (eg.
LED current).

The HV9906 is capable of driving multiconverters, which have
been shown to provide the best performance to component count
trade off for wide conversion range applications like offline
converters. Applicable multiconverters include bucking & boosting
topologies, in isolated & non-isolated configurations, as well as
power factor correcting topologies from <1W up to 150W.

Proper choice of external components will allow the programming
of currents from <1mA to several amps and will allow stepping up
or stepping down from the input without the need to change
components. For example, the same HV9906 converter nominally
regulating to 60VDC output may operate from 12VDC, or from
rectified AC input to 265V
RMS
.

The HV9906 utilizes a programmable inversely proportional fast
feed forward algorithm to calculate output on time and a novel
Integrating Lock Loop (IL
2
) feedback with programmable threshold
differential sensing. The sensed feedback may be positive or
negative with respect to ground and the signal may be
discontinuous. In some topologies this control method permits the
elimination of the bulky input filter capacitor (a small high voltage
ceramic or film capacitor is required to maintain a high frequency
path). This algorithm when used with certain multiconverters such
as the flyback-buck, with a fixed load, results in near constant
frequency with only a small dither which helps meet FCC
requirements.

Functional Description

The HV9906 consists of the following functional blocks:

Under Voltage Lockout and Power On Reset
Voltage Controlled Oscillator
Feed Forward On Time Control
Differential Sense Circuit and Programmable Reference
Integrator
Sample and Hold VCO Control
Gate
Driver

The following sections provide a detailed explanation of each of
these blocks.

High Voltage Regulator

All internal circuits operate from a nominal 10V V
DD
supply
provided by an onboard linear regulator capable of accepting input
voltages up to 400V. This regulator blocks reverse current flow
from V
DD
to +V
IN
, such as in the case when the input voltage is a
full wave rectified sine wave. Therefore, if a sufficiently large
bypass capacitor (>1
F) is connected to V
DD
, the operation of the
circuit can be maintained during the times when the full wave
rectified input voltage is less than the regulated output voltage.
High operating frequency and high input voltage applications will
result in increased power dissipation in the regulator. For these
applications efficiency may be improved by bootstrapping the V
DD
pin if a non-isolated +10V output is available. Supertex's high
voltage technology allows a very low current regulator, rather than
a shunt, to power the IC. This makes it possible to continuously
operate the IC from the AC line, within thermal limits & without
bootstrapping, in certain applications.

Bandgap Reference

As the regulator turns on and the V
DD
voltage rises, a bandgap
reference is activated to establish the regulation point of the
regulator and provide the required references for the internal
circuits. The references are strictly internal and not available at
any pin of the device.

Under Voltage Lockout and Power On Reset

On initial power application the high input voltage (up to 400V)
linear regulator charges the capacitor connected to V
DD
and seeks
to provide a stable supply for the internal circuitry. Under voltage
lockout (UVLO) holds the voltage controlled oscillator (VCO)
disabled until the V
DD
supply rises above a nominal 8.5V and
power on reset (POR) clamps the capacitors in the sample and
hold and integrator circuits low for a short time thereafter, thus
setting the VCO to its lowest frequency state. The UVLO has a
0.5V hysteresis to prevent false triggering due to ripple on V
DD
.

Voltage Controlled Oscillator

The period of the voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) is determined
by the output of the sample and hold circuit while the feed forward
control from the V
ON
pin provides fast direct control of the oscillator
output on time. For unusual operating circumstance the VCO may
be driven to its maximum frequency and the on time may exceed
the period of the oscillator. This will cause cycle skipping or an
effective reduction in output frequency by an integer factor.
Feed Forward On Time Control

The output signal to the gate driver is controlled by a latch that is
set by the output of the VCO and reset by the feed forward on time
control, thus the voltage applied to the V
ON
pin provides direct and
continuous control of the gate drive on time. The on time is
inversely proportional to the applied voltage and there is an
internally set limit to the maximum on time (17.8
S) so that 0V will
not result in an infinite on time. Refer to "Programming On Time"
in the Design Information section.

To operate in discontinuous conduction mode with constant energy
transfer per cycle a resistor divider from the input voltage is
connected to the V
ON
pin, thereby providing fast feed forward input
regulation control. This control loop can easily track a rectified
sine wave of input voltage at 50Hz, 60Hz or 400Hz provided that
the capacitor connected at V
DD
can store sufficient energy to
prevent decay below the UVLO threshold during the time when the
rectified sine wave input voltage at +V
IN
is below 10V. For a 100V
50Hz rectified sine wave a 3.3
F capacitor connected to V
DD
is
sufficient to guarantee stable operation.

For power factor correction applications an input voltage peak
detector or a low pass filter can be used to drive the V
ON
pin. This
will provide an essentially constant on time control voltage
resulting in an energy transfer per oscillator cycle directly
proportional to the input voltage.

This differential sense circuit is typically used to monitor the output
voltage or current of a power converter. The circuit operates by
sourcing current (typically 5
A) from both the PS and NS pins
which are regulated at a nominal +1V and the control loop seeks to
maintain a sense node voltage (voltage across a current sense
resistor or the voltage across a resistor divider) that will make the
NS and PS currents equal. Regulation is established when there
is zero current difference in the PS and NS pins. This differential
common mode sense method reduces noise sensitivity and
enables the user to define the magnitude of the sensed voltage
(i.e. +100mV for high efficiency or 2.5V to escape the noise floor)
and thus the effective reference, provided the sensed nodes are at
less than +1V with respect to ground.

Functional Description -
continued

The voltage difference between the sensed nodes will require the
selection of resistor values in series with the NS and PS pins that
will result in current balance. While balance can be achieved even
if neither sensed node is at ground potential, care must be taken to
assure that the dynamic voltage excursions of the sensed node
within the design operating range (i.e. 50KHz to 250KHz) of the
particular application does not result in common mode current
swings in the PS and NS pins that would result in saturation of the
integrators. Saturation at frequencies below the minimum
operating frequency of the application is permitted* since by design
the circuit will soft start from its lowest frequency.

To regulate on a sense node voltage of +0.5V with respect to
ground connect a 200k
resistor from the NS pin to the ground
end of the sense element and a 100k
resistor from the PS pin to
the +0.5V end of the sense element. Since the voltage drop on the
200k
resistor connected to the NS pin is 1V, a reference current
of 5
A is established. To achieve current balance in the PS pin
the sensed node must rise to +0.5V.

For regulating a sense node voltage of 1V with respect to ground
connect a 200k
resistor from the PS pin to the ground end of the
sense element and a 400k
resistor from the NS pin to the 1V
end of the sense element. Since the voltage drop on the 200k
resistor connected to the PS pin is 1V, a reference current of 5
A
is established. To achieve current balance in the NS pin the
sensed node must fall to -1V.

For calculating the required resistor values refer to "Programming
the Sense Inputs" in the Design Information section.

Integrator

The differential output current of the differential sense circuit is fed
to two matched internal 20pF capacitors that make up the
differential integrator circuit. The tolerances of these integrated
capacitors are typically
5%, however, since they are matched,
their absolute values only affect the peak voltage of the integrators.
Operating at the lowest frequency results in the highest peak
voltage on the integrators, which will saturate if the peak voltage
on the capacitors exceeds 6V, resulting in a loss of regulation.
This must be taken into consideration when deciding on the value
of the sense currents in the PS and NS pins. The signals at the
sensed nodes may be discontinuous (i.e. controlling the average
output current into LEDs) since the signals are cycle-averaged by
the differential integrator. The differential output of the integrator is
fed to the sample and hold comparators.

*The circuit soft starts from the lowest frequency, therefore it is
very likely that the integrators will saturate during startup. By
design the VCO frequency will be incremented in the event of a
saturated condition, thereby guaranteeing that the circuit will start.
Sample and Hold VCO Control

The cycle-averaged outputs of the differential integrator are
compared by the window comparator of the sample and hold
circuit. If the differential integrator outputs are unequal the sample
and hold circuit increments or decrements the VCO control voltage
by a fixed small step resulting in a shorter or longer subsequent
VCO cycle and thus an increased or decreased frequency. When
the cycle-averaged signals from the differential integrator are
nearly equal (within the hysteresis band of the comparators) the
sample and hold function is halted and the off time is unchanged.
Since the frequency is incremented or decremented in small fixed
steps at the end of each cycle the rate of frequency increase or
decrease is a function of the frequency and thus the oscillator
frequency will change exponentially.

In this manner the Integrator Lock Loop (IL
2
) feedback controls the
oscillator frequency based on a cycle-averaged sensed value to
maintain output regulation. For certain off-line topologies, the
result is near fixed frequency operation for a fixed load with a
dither of a few KHz which helps in meeting FCC conducted
emission requirements.

Gate Driver

The gate driver buffers the output of the VCO and provides
sufficient gate drive power to achieve rise and fall times below
75nS into a 750pF equivalent MOSFET gate. The under voltage
lockout (UVLO) assures that sufficient voltage is available to drive
the gate of standard or logic level threshold MOSFETs.

Soft Start

On initial power application the UVLO and POR resets the output
latch and sets the VCO to its lowest frequency state, which
represents minimum power transfer per VCO cycle. Thereafter,
the differential sense feedback loop increments the frequency in
small steps, increasing the power transfer rate until output
regulation is achieved, thereby providing the required soft start
function.

Design Information

Programming On Time

The instantaneous voltage applied to the V
ON
pin determines the
gate drive output on time for the VCO cycle. The on time is
inversely proportional to the voltage applied to the V
ON
pin and may
be calculated using the following equation:

Where the effective control range of V
ON
is limited between 0.2V
and 6V. For V
ON
= 0V P(V

) defaults to a nominal maximum of
17.8
S.

Depending on the converter topology and worst case operating
conditions the minimum on time and thus the duty cycle may be
programmed.
Programming the Sense Inputs

The PS and NS sense pins are regulated at +1V and each needs
to be programmed to source the same current at the converter
output regulation set point.

In order to calculate the values of R
NS
and R
PS,
the maximum
sense current, which will avoid integrator saturation, must be
determined. Since by design the circuit will inherently soft start
from its lowest frequency, the designer only needs to establish the
lowest operating frequency (f
MIN
) for the design, which corresponds
to minimum converter output power under closed loop control.
Once this frequency is established the maximum PS pin sense
current I

Protection

The HV9906 used as a current source is inherently protected in the
case of an output short. Over voltage protection is easily
accomplished, in the flyback-buck application for example, with no
more than two diodes. Simple protection for voltage mode
applications, and other topologies is easy to accomplish. Call for
more information.

known maximum ambient temperature, then the maximum
allowable input voltage may be calculated using the following
equation.

Where T
j
is the maximum operating junction temperature, T

maximum ambient temperature, R
ja
is the thermal resistance for
the particular package from junction to ambient and I
IN

required input current.

Using the I

calculated in the previous example in a 50

allowable input voltage is as follows.

In the event that this maximum allowable input voltage is less than
what is required by the application, then the following means may
be considered to reduce the dissipation in the regulator.
1. Bootstrapping V
DD
from an output of the converter
2. If the input is DC then a resistor can be added in series
with V
IN
3. If the input is AC then a depletion MOSFET may be added
in series with V
IN
4. Encapsulating the circuit with a high thermal conductivity
material
5. Boostrapping V
DD
from an auxiliary bifilar inductor winding
or from an auxiliary transformer winding.


Bootstrapping V
DD

Forcing V
DD
to a voltage greater than the regulation set point
voltage of the internal regulator (i.e. 13V) will force the regulator to
turn off and all the required operating current will be provided by
the forcing source of power. If this power source is derived from
the output of the converter, possibly by means of a secondary
winding on one of the inductors or an additional winding on a
transformer, then the internal regulator will provide the required
current during startup only. Care must be taken to assure that the
absolute maximum voltage rating of the V
DD
pin is not exceeded.

After initial startup, bootstrapping will reduce the power dissipated,
even at the absolute maximum V
DD
voltage, to an essentially
negligible level (V
DD(max)
x I
IN
=15V x 3mA = 45mW).


Operating from a DC input

For DC applications there is usually some minimum operating
voltage. A resistor may be added in series with +V
IN
which can
reduce the effective input voltage to +V
IN(min)
, thereby transferring
some of the power dissipation to the series resistor.

Using the input current of 3mA previously calculated and assuming
an operating input voltage range (V
S
) of 100VDC to 250VDC for
the application, the maximum value of the series resistor can be
calculated as follows.

Operating from a full wave rectified AC input

For these applications there is no minimum input voltage, thus
adding a fixed value series resistor is not possible. However, a
dynamic resistor consisting of a depletion MOSFET may be added
as depicted in the following diagram.

This floating battery charger circuit will charge a 6 cell 12V lead-
acid battery to a float voltage of 13.8V and provides a 1A charging
current limit for a severely discharged or shorted battery.

When the discharged battery terminal voltage is at 12V, the
charging current is 130mA. The charging current decreases as the
battery charges and the terminal voltage rises. When the
maximum float voltage of 13.8V is reached the current into the
battery will be essentially zero.
