L6599 Controller
High Voltage Resonant Controller for High-end Adapters & Flat TVs


L6599 Product Page

The L6599 controller integrates a resonant converter control circuit and high voltage half bridge driver circuits capable of operating at voltages up to 600V.
Using the new L6599, all the benefits of the resonant topology (high efficiency and reduced EMI/RFI interference) can be obtained with a simpler circuit, since all of the controller features and all the driver circuits are integrated in one SO-16 or DIP-16 package.

The L6599 includes a voltage controlled oscillator, soft start, bootstrap diode, undervoltage lockout and a direct interface with the PFC controller that enables the pre-regulator to switch off during fault conditions. Operating at up to 500kHz, it can be used with compact external filter components, contributing to a further reduction in size. The half bridge driver section has a current capability of 300mA source and 800mA sink, which is sufficient to efficiently drive high Power MOSFET or IGBT discrete transistors at high frequencies. In addition, the new L6599 can be operated in burst-mode by using the stand-by pin, facilitating the converter to comply with energy saving recommendations.

L6599 Features and Benefits

The L6599 is a double-ended controller specific for the series-resonant half-bridge topology. It provides:

50% duty cycle, variable frequency control of resonant half-bridge
High-accuracy oscillator
Up to 500kHz operating frequency
Two-level OCP: frequency-shift and latched shutdown
Interface with PFC controller
Latched disable input
Burst-mode operation at light load
Input for power-on/off sequencing or brownout protection
Non-linear soft-start for monotonic output voltage rise
600V rail compatible high-side gate driver with integrated bootstrap diode and high DV/DT immunity
-300/800mA high-side and low-side gate drivers with UVLO pull-down
Component count minimization
Space saving
