Description
The L6591 is a double-ended PWM controller specific for the soft-switched half-bridge
topology. It provides complementary PWM control, where the high-side switch is driven ON
for a duty cycle D and the low-side switch for a duty cycle 1-D, with D < 50%. An externally
programmable dead-time inserted between the turn-off of one switch and the turn-on of the
other one guarantees soft-switching and enables high-frequency operation.
To drive the high-side switch with the bootstrap approach, the IC incorporates a high-voltage
floating structure able to withstand more than 600 V with a synchronous-driven high-voltage
DMOS that replaces the external fast-recovery bootstrap diode.
The IC enables the designer to set the operating frequency of the converter by means of an
externally programmable oscillator: the maximum duty cycle is digitally clipped at 50% by a
T-flip-flop, so that the operating frequency will be half that of the oscillator.
At very light load the IC enters a controlled burst-mode operation that, along with the built-in
non-dissipative high-voltage start-up circuit and the low quiescent current, helps keep low
the consumption from the mains and be compliant with energy saving recommendations.
To allow compliance with these standards in two-stage power-factor-corrected systems as
well, an interface with the PFC controller is provided that enables to switch off the pre-
regulator between one burst and the following one.
An innovative adaptive UVLO helps minimize the issues related to the fluctuations of the
self-supply voltage with the output load, due to transformer's parasitic.
IC's protection functions include: not-latched input undervoltage (brownout), a first-level
OCP with delayed shutdown able to protect the system during overload and short circuit
conditions (either auto-restart or latch mode can be selected) and a second-level OCP that
latches off the IC when the transformer saturates or one of the secondary diodes fails short.
Finally, a latched disable function allows easy implementation of OTP or OVP.
Programmable soft-start and digital leading-edge blanking on current sense input pin
complete the equipment of the IC.
