SSL2101 12 W mains dimmable LED driver

1. Introduction

The SSL2101 driver is a solution for a professional application with multiple high power

LEDs that require galvanic isolation and a safe output voltage. It is mains dimmable for

both forward phase (triac) dimmers, and reve rse phase (transistor) dimmers. It can

generate up to 16 W output power, which is equal to a 100 W incandescent lamp (at

63 Lumen/W). Examples are shelf lighting, down lighting and LED lighting fo r bathrooms

etc. The design demo nstrates how to produce a driver that is suitable for small form factor

applications such as retrofit lamps.

2. Safety warning

The board needs to be connected to mains voltage. Touching the reference board during

operation must be avoided at all times. An isolated housing is obligatory whe n used in

uncontrolled, non-laboratory environments. Even though the secondary circuit with LED

connection has galvanic isolation, this isolation is not accor ding to any regulated norm.

Galvanic isolation of the mains supply using a variable transformer is always

recommended. Th ese devices can be recognized by the symbols shown in Figure 1:

3. Connecting the board

Remark: All components referred to in the text can be located on Figure 8 “Board

schematic diagram” and connectors can be found on Figure 2 “Board connection

diagram”.

The board can be optimized for a 2 30 V 50 Hz or a 120 V 60 Hz mains supply. In addition

to the mains voltage optimization, the board is designed to work with multiple high power

LEDs with a total working voltage of between 9 V and 23 V. The output current can be

limited using trimmer R20. On request, a dedicated LED load can be delivered that is to

be connected to K3. Connector K2 can be used to attach other LED loads. The output

voltage is limited to 25 V. When attaching a LED load to an operational board (hot

plugging) an inrush peak current will occur due to the discharge of capacitor C6. After

frequent discharges, the LEDs may deteriorat e or become damaged.

If a galvanic isolated transformer is used, it should be p laced b e tween th e AC so ur ce and

the dimmer/demo board. Connect a user defined LED (string) to conne ctor K2 as shown

in Figure 2. Note tha t the a node o f the L ED (strin g) is conn ected to the bottom sid e of this

connector.

Remark: When the board is placed in a metal enclosure, the middle pin of connector K1

can be connected to the metal casing for grounding.

7. Functional description

Remark: All components referred to in the text can be located on Figure 8 “Board

schematic diagram”.

The IC controls and drives the flyback converter part, and ensures proper dimmer

operation. Several high voltage switches are integrated in the IC. One of these controls

the flyback input power , a nd is situated between the DRAIN and SOURCE pins. When the

switch closes, a curre nt stores energy in the transformer TX1. The switch is opene d when

the duty factor has exceeded the level set by the PWMLIMIT pin, with a maximum of

75 %, or when the voltage on the SOURCE pin exceeds 0.5 V. Following this, the energy

stored in the transformer is discharged to D6 and the output capacitors C5 and C6, and

finally absorbed by the load. The converter frequency is set with an internal oscillator, the

timing of which is controlled by external RC co mponents on pins RC and RC2. By varying

the BRIGHTNESS pin voltage, the oscillator frequency can be modulated to an upper and

lower value. The ratio between R15 and R16 sets the frequency variation.

Two other switc hes ar e re fe rr ed to as the w ea k ble ed e r (pin W BLEED) and the strong

bleeder (pin SBLEED). When the voltage on these pins is below a certain value (typically

52 V) the SBLEED switch closes, providing a current path that loads the dimmer during

zero voltage crossing. This resets the dimmer timer. When the voltage on either of these

pins is above 52 V, and the voltage on the ISENSE pin is below −100 mV, the weak

bleeder switch closes. This current is boosted using Q3 and it provides a current p ath that

loads the dimmer when the converter draws insufficient current to stabilize the dimmer

latching. While the strong bleeder will always switch, the weak-bleeder will not activate

until the output power drops below 8 W. This happens when the LEDs are dimmed, or

when the maximum LED power is tuned below 8 W. Figure 6 and Figure 7 represent

bleeder voltage versus time in dimmed and undimmed position (low voltage = active).

This board is optimized to work with a p ower factor above 0 .9. In order to achieve this, the

converter operate s in const ant t on mode. The ou tput powe r of the converter is bu f fe red by

capacitor C6. Due to this configuration, the circuit has a resistive input current behavior

during un-dimmed operation (see Input in Figure 7). During dimmed operation however,

not only must the dimmer latch and hold current be ma intained, but a damper must be

added to dampen the inrush current and to dissipate the electric power that was stor ed in

the LC filter within the dimmer. A serial resistor can be used for this for low power ranges

(<10 W) but for higher power ranges a single series resistor is not ef ficient. This is

because the converter supply current will cause significant voltage drop and thus

dissipation through this resistor. To improve efficiency, a combination of serial resistance

and a paralle l damper has been chosen for the dem onstration board. The serial r esistor is

made up of F1, R1, R2 and R12 and th e parallel damper comprises C2 and R3 (see

Figure 8).

The input circuit of the converter must be equipped with a filter that is partially capacitive.

The combination of C1, L1, L2, C3 and C4 makes a filter that blocks most of the

disturbance generated by the converter input current. A drawback of this filter is a

reduction of power factor, due to the capacitive load. A lower converter power, in relation

to the capacitive value of this filter/buffer, will cause a lower power factor. The 230 V (AC)

design uses 150 nF capacitors, which attain a power factor of 0.9 for an 11 W output

power.

The board is equipped with a feedback loop that limits the output current. This feedback

loop senses the LED current ove r sense resistor R18 and a current mirror is used,

consisting of Q1 and Q2. The current leve l can be set using R20. The same feedback lo op

is also used for overvoltage protection. If the LED voltage exceeds 23 V, a current will flow

through R19 and D9. The current through the optocoupler IC2 will pull down the

PWMLIMIT and BRIGHTNESS pin. The on-time is zero at a value below 400 mV. The

feedback loop ha s pro po r tiona l actio n only, and the gain is critic al be ca us e of ph a se shift

caused by the converter and C6. The re lationship between PWMLIMIT and o utput current

is quadratic in nature. The resultant output current spre ad will be acceptable for most LED

applications.

The dimming range is detected by sensin g the average rectified voltage. R4, R5 and R17

comprise a voltage divider, and C9 filters the resultant signal. The converter sets its duty

factor and converter frequency accordingly.

8. Board optimization

The following modifications must be made in order to meet different customer application

requirements:

Remark: All components referred to in the text can be located on Figure 8 “Board

schematic diagram”.

8.1 Changing the output voltage and LED current

When compared with other topologies, a flyback converter has the major advantage that it

is suitable for driving a broader range of output voltages. Essentially, changing the tu rns

ratio whilst maintaining the value of the primary inductance, will shift the output working

voltage accordingly. Part of the efficiency of the driver is linked to the output voltage. A

lower output voltage will increase the transformation ratio, and cause higher secondary

losses. In practice, a mains dimmable flyback converter will have an efficiency of between

80 % for high output voltages (such as 60 V) down to 50 % for low outp ut voltages (such

as 3 V). Synchronous rectification might become advisable to reduce losses at low

voltages. The NXP TEA179 1 can be used for this purpose. For exact calculations of

transformer properties and peak current, refer to application note AN10754, “SSL2101

and SSL2102 d immable mains LED driver ”, and the calculation tool that is provided with it.

8.2 Changing the output ripple current

The output current ripple is prin cipally determined by the LED voltage, the LED dynamic

resist ance and the output capacitor. The value of C6 has been chosen to optimize

capacitor size with light outpu t. A ripple of ±25 % will result in an anticipated deterioration

of light output of <1 %.

The size for the buffer capacitor can be estimated using the following equation:

(1)

Example:

For a ripple current of ±5%, and a mains frequency of 50 Hz, and a dynamic resistance of

0.6 Ω, C6 has to be 20 ÷ (300 × 0.6) = 111 mF. For a ripple current of 25 % and a dynamic

resistance of 6 Ω, C6 has to be 4 ÷ (300 × 6) = 2200 μF. Using a series of LEDs, the

dynamic resist ance of each LED can be added to the total dynamic resistance.

8.3 Adapting to high power reverse phase (transistor) dimmers.

Reverse phase (transistor) di mmers differ in two ways that can be beneficial but can also

cause problems with dimming detection:

•The negative phase-cut (trailing edge) causes no inrush current when the dimmer

triggers. When using triac dimmers, there will be a sudden voltage difference over the

input leading to a steep charge of the input capacitors. The result ant peak current will

lead to higher damper dissipation. Because this steep charge is missing, the input

capacitors will have less stress, and the input circuit is less prone to audible noise.

SSL2101 12 W mains dimmable LED driver

Transistor dimmers contain active circuitry that require a load charge during the time

that the dimmer is open. The dimensioning of the circuit generating the internal supply

voltage inside the dimm er is made cr itical in orde r to avo id e xcessive internal dimmer

losses. This means that the remaining voltage drop over the lamp must be low

enough to reach this charge. For dimmers such as the Busch-Jaeger 6519U, the

minimum lamp load is specified at 40 W which is equivalent to a 1.3 kΩ resistor load

at 230 V(AC). Such a load would result in highly inefficient operation at low output

power levels, since most energy is wasted in order to drive the dimmer, and not to

produce light.

The value of the demo board weak bleeder (R6 and R7) is chosen to minimize losses

(approximately 2 W to 3 W). The weak bleed er normally only switches on during dimmed

operation. The voltage drop with some transistor dimmers is, however, not sufficient to

cause full dimming range control (minimum 10 % instead of <1 %), because the average

rectified voltage is used to determine the dimming po sition. To compensate for the

reduced voltage difference, voltage detection can be made more sensitive by replacing

R4 with a zener diode, such as the BZV85-C200 for 230 V (AC), or the BZV85-C68 for

120 V (AC) applications. Because of increased sensitivity, the dimming curve will also be

steeper when using triac dimmers.

8.4 Changing the load curve

The load curve can be divid ed into two regions: on e wh er e the co ntro l loop limits the duty

cycle of the converter, and where the output current is regulated, and another where the

duty factor feedback is no longer dominant. This last part occurs at output voltages below

13 V. In this area, constant output power becomes the dominant con trol mechanism.

Changing the turns ratio of the transformer to match the output load will also change the

load curve.

8.5 Multiple driver support

It is possible to attach multiple converters to a single dimmer. When using triac dimmers

the inrush current will rise, although not in proportion to the number of converters used.

Transistor dimmers are more suitable for use with multiple converters because the

dimming range will increase due to the added bleeder action, and there is no inrush

current.
