1. General description
The SSL21081/SSL21083 are a r ang e of high -vol tage Integrated Circuits (ICs) for driving
LED lamps in general mains non-dimmable lighting applications.
The main benefits of these products are:
Small Printed-Circuit Board (PCB) footprint, and compact solution
High efficiency (up to 95 %)
Ease of integration
Low electronic Bill Of Material (BOM)
These ICs incorporate a 300 V or 600 V MOSFET.
The ICs work as boundary conduction mode converters, typically in buck configuration.
The IC range has been designed to start up directly from the HV supply by an internal
high-voltage current source. Thereafter, the dV/dt supply is used with capacitive coupling
from the drain, or any other auxiliary supply. This function provides full flexibility in the
application design. The IC consumes 1.3 mA of supply current with an internal clamp
limiting the supply voltage.
The ICs provide accurate output current control with LED current accuracy within 5 %.
The ICs can be operated using Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) current regulation and has
many protection features including easy LED temperature feedback.

8. Functional description
8.1 Converter operation
The converter in the SSL21081/SSL21083 is a Boundary Conduction Mode (BCM), peak
current controlled system. For the basic application diagram see Figure 3, for the
waveforms see Figure 4. This converter type operates at the boundary between
continuous and discontinuous mode. Energy is stored in inductor L each period that the
switch is on. The inductor current IL is zero when the internal MOSFET switch is switched
on. Thereafter, the amplitude of the current build-up in L is proportional to VIN VOUT and
the time that the internal MOSFET switch is on. When the internal MOSFET switch is
switched off, the current continues to flow through the freewheel diode and the output
capacitor. The current then falls at a rate proportional to the value of VOUT. The LED
current ILED is almost equal to half the peak switch current. A new cycle is started, as soon
as the inductor current IL is zero.
8.2 Valley detection
A new cycle is started when the primary switch is switched on (see Figure 4). Following
time t1, when the peak current is detected on the SOURCE pin, the switch is turned off
and the secondary stroke starts (3). When the secondary stroke is complete and the coil
current at t3 equals zero, the drain voltage starts to oscillate around the VIN VOUT level.
The amplitude equals VOUT. A special feature, called valley detection is an integrated part
of the SSL21081/SSL 2 10 8 3 circu itr y. Dedicate d bu ilt- in circuitry connecte d to th e DRAI N
pin, senses when the voltage on the drain of th e switch has r eache d its lowest value. The
next cycle is then started and as a result the capacitive switching losses are reduced.
A valley is detected and accepted if both the frequency of the oscillations and the voltage
swing are within the range specified (fring and Vvrec(min)) for detection. If a valid valley is
not detected, the secondary stroke is continued until the maximum off-time (toff(high)) is
reached, then the next cycle is started.

8.3 Protective features
The IC has the following protective features:
UnderVoltage LockOut (UVLO)
Leading-Edge Blanking (LEB)
OverCurrent Protection (OCP)
Internal OverTemperature Protection (OTP)
Brownout protection
Short-Winding Protection (SWP) SSL21081T/SSL21083T only
Output Short Protection (OSP)
LED overtemperature control and protection
The SWP and the OSP are latched protections. These protections cause the IC to halt
until a reset (a result of power cycling) is executed. When VCC drops lower than VCC(rst),
the IC resets the latch protection mode. The internal OTP and LED over temperature
protections are safe-restart protections. The IC halts, causing VCC to fall lower than
VCC(stop), and instigates start-up. When VCC drops lower than VCC(rst), the IC resets the
latch protection mode. Switching starts only when no fault condition exists.
8.3.1 UnderVoltage LockOut (UVLO)
When the voltage on the VCC pin drops lower than VCC(stop), the IC stops switching. An
attempt is then made to restart by supplying VCC from the HV pin voltage.

NXP Semiconductors SSL21081/SSL21083
Compact non-dimmable LED driver IC
8.3.2 Leading-Edge Blanking (LEB)
To prevent false detection of the short-winding or overcurr en t, a bla nk i ng time follo win g
switch-on is implemented. When the internal MOSFET switch turns on there can be a
short current spike due to capacitive discharge of voltage over the drain and source.
During the LEB time (tleb), the spike is disregarded.
8.3.3 OverCurrent Protection (OCP)
The SSL21081/SSL21083 contain a highly accurate built-in peak current detector. It
triggers when the voltage at the SOURCE pin reaches the peak-level Vth(ocp)SOURCE. The
current throug h th e switch is sensed using a resistor connected to the SOURCE pin. The
sense circuit is activated following LEB time tleb. As the LED current is half the peak
current (by design), it automatically provides protection for maximum LED current during
operation. There is a propagation delay between overcurrent detection and the actual
closure of the switch t d(ocp-swoff). Due to the dela y, the actual peak current is slightly higher
than the OCP level set by the resistor in series to the SOURCE pin.
8.3.4 OverTemperature Protection (OTP)
When the internal OTP function is triggered at a certain IC temperature (Tth(act)otp), the
converter stops operating. The safe-restart protection is triggered and the IC restarts
again with switching resuming when the IC temperature drops lower than Tth(rel)otp.
8.3.5 Brownout protection
Brownout protection is designed to limit the lamp power when the input voltage drops
close to the output voltage level. Since the input power has to remain constant, the input
current would otherwise increase to a level that is too large for the input circuitry. For the
SSL21081/SSL21083, there is a maximum limit on the on-time ton(high). The rate of current
rise in the coil during the on-phase is proportional to the difference between input voltage
and output voltage. Therefore, the peak current cannot be reached before ton(high) and as
a result the average output current to the LEDs is reduced.
8.3.6 Short-Winding Protection (SWP) SSL21081T/SSL21083T only
SWP activates if there is a steep r ising current thr ough the MOSFET and thus through the
external resistor connected to the SOURCE pin. This current can occur when there is a
short from the freewheel diode. Additionally, it occurs due to a small/shorted inductor
between the input volta ge and the DRAIN pin. If the volt age on the SOURCE pin is greater
than 1.5 V, latched protection is triggered following LEB time tleb. In addition, if VCC drops
lower than VCC(rst) the IC resets the latched protection mode.
8.3.7 Output Short Protection (OSP)
During t he seco nd stroke (switc h-of time), if a valley is not detected within the off-time limit
(toff(high)), then typically the output voltage is less than the minimum limit allowed in the
application. This condition can occur either during starting up or due to a short. A timer is
started when toff(high) is detected, and is stopped only if a valid valley-detection occurs in
one of the subsequent cycles.
If a valley is not detected for tdet(sc), it is conclude d th at a re al sh or t-c i rc uit ex ists and not
start-up. The IC enters latched protection. If VCC drops lower than VCC(rst), the IC resets
the latched protection mode. During PWM current regulation, the OSP timer is paused
during the off-cycle of the PWM signal.

Compact non-dimmable LED driver IC
8.4 VCC supply
The SSL21081/SSL21083 are supplied using three methods:
Under normal operation, the voltage swing on the DVDT pin is rectified within the IC
providing current towards the VCC pin
At start-up, there is an internal current source connected to the HV pin. The current
source provides internal power until either the dV/dt supply or an external current on
the VCC pin provides the supply
An external voltage source can be connected to the VCC pin
The IC starts up when the voltage at the VCC pin is higher than VCC(startup). The IC loc ks
out (stops switching) when the voltage at the VCC pin is lower than VCC(stop). The
hysteresis between the start and stop levels allows the IC to be supplied by a buffer
capacitor until the dV/dt supply is settled. The SSL21081/SSL21083 has an internal VCC
clamp, which is an internal active Zener (or shunt regulator). This internal active Zener
limits the voltage on the supply VCC pin to the maximum value of VCC. If the maximum
current of the dV/ dt supply minus the cu rr ent consumption of the IC (determined by the
load on the gate drivers), is lower than the maximum value of IDD no exte rnal Ze ner diode
is needed in the dV/dt supply circuit.
8.5 DVDT pin supply (dV/dt)
The DVDT pin is connected to an internal single-sided rectification stage. When an
alternating voltage with sufficient amplitude is supplied to the pin, the IC can be powered
without any other external power con n ect ion . This solution provides an effective method
to prevent the additional high- power losses, which would result if a regulator were used for
continuously powering the IC. Unlike an auxiliary supply, additional inductor windings are
not needed.
8.6 VCC regulator
During supply dips, the input voltage can drop too low to supply the required IC current
through the DVDT pin. Under these conditions, if the VCC voltage drops lower than
VCC(swon)reg level, another regulator with a current capability of up to Isup(high)HV is started.
The job of the regulator is to fill in the required supply current, which the dV/dt supply does
not deliver, thus preventing the IC going into UVLO. When the VCC volt age is higher than
VCC(swon)reg level, the regulator is turned off.
8.7 NTC function and PWM current regulation
The NTC pin can be used as a control method for LED thermal protection. Alternatively,
the pin can be used as an input to disable/enable light output using a digital signal (PWM
current regulation). The pin has an internal current source that generates the current of
Ioffset(NTC). An NTC resistor to monitor the LED temperature can be directly connected to
the NTC pin. Depending on the resistance value and the corresponding voltage on the
NTC pin, the converter reacts as shown in Figure 5.

NXP Semiconductors SSL21081/SSL21083
Compact non-dimmable LED driver IC
When the volt age on the NTC pin is higher than Vth(high)NTC see Figure 5 (4), the converter
delivers nominal output current. When th e voltage is lower than this level, the peak current
is gradually reduced until Vth(low)NTC is reached, se e Figure 5 (3). The peak current is now
half the peak curr ent of nomin al operation. When Vact(tmr)NTC is pa ssed, se e Figure 5 (2) a
timer starts to run to distinguish between the following situations:
If the low-level Vdeact(tmr)NTC is not reached within time tto(deact)NTC, Figure 5 (1) LED
overtempe ratu re is dete ct ed . Th e IC stops switching and attempts to restart from the
HV pin voltage. Restart takes place when the voltage on NTC pin is higher than
Vth(high)NTC, see Figure 5 (4). It is assumed that the reduction in peak current did not
result in a lower NTC temperature and LED OTP is activated.
If the low-level Vdeact(tmr)NTC is reached within the time tto(deact)NTC, Figure 5 (1) it is
assumed that the pin is pulled down externally. The restart function is not trig gered.
Instead, the output current is reduced to zero. PWM current regulation can be
implemented this way. The output current rises again when the voltage is higher than
Vdeact(tmr)NTC.
8.7.1 Soft-start function
The NTC pin can be used to make a soft start function. During switch-on, th e level on the
NTC pin is low. By connecting a capacitor (in parallel with the NTC resistor), a time
constant can be defined. The time constant causes the level on the NTC pin to increase
slowly. When passing level Vth(low)NTC Figure 5 (3), the convertor starts with half of the
maximum current. The output current slowly increases to maximum when Vth(high)NTC
Figure 5 (4) is reached.
