EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Key characteristics of the 90-W adapter with S2PFC flyback can be summarized as

follows:

1.  Worst-case efficiency (low line, full load) ~ 88% - see Table I;

2.  Line current harmonics satisfy the standard requirements with a large margin

(>20%) –see Table II;

3.  Bulk voltage is always below 400 V:

a) Maximum bulk voltage (at high line and full load) is 396 V – see Fig. 19(a),

 b) Bulk voltage at high line and no load is 374 V – see Fig. 19(d);

4.  Input power at 240-Vrms line voltage and no load is ~ 700 mW (670-700 mW);

5.  Input power at 115-Vrms line voltage and no load is ~ 625 mW (610-640 mW);

6.  Switching frequency variations:

a) Switching frequency range at full load is 65-177 kHz,

 b) Maximum switching frequency is 228 kHz (at high line and 2.7-A load);

7.  Maximum drain-source voltage is 654 V (first turn-off spike at high line) – see Fig.

20.

I.  CIRCUIT DIAGRAM

 A. Power Stage

The simplified circuit diagram of the original power stage [1], [2] is shown in Fig. 1. Recently, the

topology of the original power stage was slightly modified, which resulted in an improved efficiency.

The simplified circuit diagram of the improved power stage is shown in Fig. 2. It should be noticed that

the only difference between the power stages in Figs. 1 and 2 is the position of the two diodes outside of 

the diode bridge ( D1- D4). However, in the improved power stage in Fig. 2, one diode-forward-voltage

drop is eliminated. Current paths of the boost (PFC) inductor,  L B, in the original and improved power 

stages are shown in Figs. 3 and 4, respectively. As can be seen in Fig. 3, the current paths of the boost

inductor in Fig. 3 include three diodes, whereas, the current paths of the boost inductor in Fig. 4 include

only two diodes. Similarly, the current paths of the bypass diode, D BYP in Fig. 1, which conducts only

during a short interval around the peaking of the rectified line voltage, also include three diodes, as

shown in Fig. 5. In the improved power stage in Fig. 2, diode D1 serves as the bypass diode during a

 positive half cycle of the line voltage, and diode  D2 serves as the bypass diode during a negative half cycle of the line voltage. Therefore, the bypass current paths in the power stage in Fig. 2 include only

two diodes, as shown in Fig. 6.

To conclude, the modification of the original power stage in Fig. 1 is achieved as follows:

•  Bridge diodes D1 and  D2 were eliminated;

•  Boost diode D B was replaced with two diodes,  D Bp and  D Bn (one diode for each half cycle of the

line voltage; therefore, the current stress of diodes  D Bp and  D Bn is only half of that of diode D B);

and 

•  Bypass diode D BYP was replaced with two diodes, D1 and  D2 (one diode for each half cycle of the

line voltage; therefore, the current stress of diodes D1 and  D2 is only half of that of diode D BYP).

 B. Control Circuit

The control circuit is based on the integrated controller L6565 from ST [3], [4]. The block diagram

of the control circuit is shown in Fig. 7. The voltage-feedforward block, the voltage-feedback block,

and the current-sensing block, RCS , are the same as in a conventional flyback converter without PFC [3],

[4]. The zero-crossing detector, the variable-reference-voltage block, and the auxiliary trigger circuit are

additional blocks, necessary because of the heavy damping of the drain-source voltage ringing in the

frequency-foldback mode of operation of the S2PFC flyback converter. Typical waveforms of the

ringing drain-source voltage are shown in Fig. 8.

The additional zero-crossing detector is necessary because the internal zero-crossing detector of the

L6565 controller chip has a hysteresis equal to 0.5 V, which is too large to detect the zero crossings

when the amplitude of the ringing drain-source voltage becomes too small (because of the heavy

damping). The external zero-crossing detector is implemented with the integrated comparator LM393,

which has a very small hysteresis (±5mV). The circuit diagram of the external zero-crossing detector is

shown in Fig. 9. It should be noticed in Fig. 9, that the reference voltage of the comparator (at pin 2 of 

LM393) is constant, slightly larger than zero.

Fig. 9 Circuit diagram of the zero-current detector.

However, the additional comparator increases the total delay time from the zero-crossing instant to

the turn-on instant of the switch, which deteriorates the valley switching. This is illustrated by the key

waveforms of the control circuit without and with the additional comparator in Figs. 10 and 11. It can

 be seen in Fig. 10 that the delay time from the zero crossing of the auxiliary-winding voltage v AUX  to the

turn-on instant of the switch in the control circuit without the additional comparator is approximately

500 ns. This results in almost ideal valley switching around the zero crossing of the line current and near valley switching around the peaking of the line current. The corresponding delay time in the

control circuit with the additional comparator is approximately 700 ns, as shown in Fig. 11. This longer 

delay time results in poorer valley switching, especially around the peaking of the line current.

The delay time of the additional comparator is compensated by moving the instant of the “zero-

crossing” detection before the actual zero crossing instant of the auxiliary-winding voltage v AUX . This is

achieved by a variable reference voltage for the comparator. The implementation of the variable

reference voltage is shown in Fig. 12. Key waveforms of the control circuit are shown in Fig. 13. As

can be seen in Fig. 13, during the off time of the switch, the reference voltage is exponentially increased 

to approximately 75% of the auxiliary-winding voltage level. Therefore, the “zero-crossing” detection

is achieved right after the drain-source voltage starts to decrease, i.e. before the actual zero-crossing

instant. The delay time from the instant auxiliary-winding voltage v AUX crosses reference voltage v REF  to

the turn-on instant of the switch is again approximately 700 ns as in Fig. 11. However, as the same

delay time starts earlier, the variable reference voltage results in a significantly better valley switching

compared to that in Fig. 11.

Fig. 13 Key waveforms of the improved control circuit in Fig. 3: auxiliary-winding voltage v AUX , ZCD pin voltage v ZCD

and reference voltage v REF  (a) around the zero crossing of the line current and (b) around the peaking of the line current, at

100-Vrms line voltage and full load (20 V/4.5 A).

However, even with an external zero-current detector, which has a very small hysteresis, the zero

crossings of the auxiliary voltage, v AUX , cannot be detected at very light loads, because of the heavy

damping of the drain-source voltage ringing in the frequency-foldback mode of operation of the S2PFC

flyback converter. This problem is solved by the auxiliary trigger circuit, which will turn on the switch

if the zero-crossing detection signal is missing. The implementation of the auxiliary trigger circuit is

shown in Fig. 14. Key waveforms that illustrate the operation of the auxiliary trigger circuit are shown

in Fig. 15. The auxiliary trigger circuit generates trigger pulses synchronized to the beginning of the off 

time of the switch, with a constant delay equal to approximately 20 us. The 20-us delay time is just

slightly longer than the maximum blanking time of the L6565 controller chip. The trigger pulses are

obtained at the output of the comparator, which compares an exponential ramp voltage (at pin 6) with a

constant reference voltage (at pin 5). When the amplitude of the drain-source voltage ringing becomes

smaller than the hysteresis of the zero-crossing detector, like around instant T 1 in Fig. 15, the next gate

 pulse will be initiated by the auxiliary trigger circuit, at instant T 3 in Fig. 15, when the exponential ramp

voltage reaches the level of the reference voltage and the negative-going edge at the output of the

comparator, through the ZCD pin, activates the gate-drive output of the L6565 controller chip. For 

 proper operation, prior to instant T 3, the voltage at the ZCD pin should change to a high logic level, like

at instant T 2 in Fig. 15. This is achieved by adjusting the reference voltage of the zero-crossing detector 

in Fig. 12 to generate a high logic level when the auxiliary-winding voltage is equal to zero.

At very light loads, when the feedback voltage at the COMP pin of the L6565 controller chip

decreases to approximately 2.5 V, the L6565 controller enters the burst-mode of operation. In the burst-

mode of operation, the controller chip generates bunches of gate pulses with a low frequency equal to

the starter frequency (typically 2.5 kHz). The burst mode of operation is illustrated in Figs. 16 and 17

with waveforms measured at 264-Vrms line voltages, at a very light load (~ 100 mA) and at zero load.

In the worst case, at high line, the circuit starts to operate in the burst mode at loads below 180 mA. At

the low line, the boundary of the burst-mode of operation is at loads below 20 mA.
