L6566 Multi-Mode Controller
Versatile current-mode primary controller IC for high-end adapters and flat TVs

L6566 Product Page

L6566
is a new, extremely versatile current-mode primary controller IC specifically designed for high-performance offline flyback converters. Both Fixed-Frequency (FF) and Quasi-Resonant (QR) operation are supported by the same product; the user can pick either depending on the application requirements.
L6566 is a multi-die product, including a high voltage section (HV start-up) in BCD off-line technology and a low voltage section (the core of the controller) in BCD6 technology, mounted together in a small, standard SO-16N plastic package.

Functional Description


The device features an externally programmable oscillator which defines the converter’s switching frequency in FF mode and the maximum allowed switching frequency in QR mode. When FF operation is selected, the IC works like a standard current-mode controller (UC384x-like) with a maximum duty cycle limited at 70 % min. QR operation, when selected, occurs at heavy load and is achieved through a transformer demagnetization sensing input that triggers the Power MOSFET’s turn-on.
With a very small load, in FF or QR operation the IC enters controlled burst-mode operation that, along with the built-in non-dissipative high-voltage start-up circuit and a reduced quiescent current, helps keep the consumption from the mains low while meeting the most demanding energy saving regulations.

L6566A And L6566B


L6566 is supplied in two orderable versions, L6566A and L6566B.

L6566A is specifically designed for offline flyback converters operating from a front-end Power Factor Corrector. The L6566A provides an interface with the PFC controller that turns-off the pre-regulator at light load.
 
 

L6566B is designed for offline flyback converters where a front-end PFC is not expected. L6566B has a frequency modulation input that modulates the oscillator frequency. This modulation is used to reduce the peak value of EMI emissions.
