Avoid touching the demo board while it is connected to the mains voltage. An isolated housing is obligatory when used in uncontrolled, non-laboratory environments. Galvanic isolation of the mains phase using a variable transformer is always recommended. WARNING Lethal voltage and fire ignition hazard The non-insulated high voltages that are present when operating this product, constitute a risk of electric shock, personal injury, death and/or ignition of fire. This product is intended for evaluation purposes only. It shall be operated in a designated test area by personnel qualified according to local requirements and labor laws to work with non-insulated mains voltages and high-voltage circuits. This product shall never be operated unattended. a. Isolated b. Not isolated Fig 1. Variable transformer (Variac) isolation symbols 019aab173 019aab174

6.1 Output stage component values

The LED current can be modified easily to a desired value by changing the value of resistor R6. The board has a 20 % margin to deal with an LED string voltage. If a large variation to the existing LED voltage/current values is required, then modify transformers T1 and T2.

6.2 Board topology

The board operates with the passive PFC DCM topology described in detail in Advanced High-Frequency Electronic Ballasting Techniques for Gas Discharge Lamps by Fengfeng Tao (Ref. 1). Fig 3.

The circuit can be seen as split into two separate circuits, one circuit that acts as PFC and one that drives the LED string. They run on the same frequency because they share the half-bridge. In a conventional two stage solution, the PFC and the load each have their own separate operating frequency. Fig 5.

6.3 Passive PFC boost

The PFC stage can be considered as two DCM boost converters operated 180 out of phase and sharing the boost inductor. For the PFC stage, there are four topological stages over one switching cycle as shown in Figure 7.

User manual Rev. 2 — 25 September 2013 9 of 25 NXP Semiconductors UM10710 UBA20270DB1122 - 35 W/46 V/690 mA LED driver demo board The exact equations for the input power versus Vmains, Vb, frequency and the value of Lb can be found in Advanced High-Frequency Electronic Ballasting Techniques for Gas Discharge Lamps by Fengfeng Tao (Ref. 1). For 35 W input power, 230 V and 45 kHz the inductor must have a value of 1.2 mH as on the board. If a higher power is required, the inductor must be lowered in value. If less power is given to the LED load, the inductor value must be increased. In the passive PFC topology, the bus voltage and frequency stabilize at a point where the input power equals the output power + losses. Changing the pump inductor value for 20 % of the nominal power is not required. The UBA20270 feedback control system can increase or decrease the operating frequency to compensate for the different load.

6.4 LLC resonant tank

The LED string is driven with a so called LLC half-bridge resonant tank topology. Fig 8. Key switching waveform of the PFC DDD W W 9/E L/E ,SN WGWF W W W WW 9%9LQ UHF 9LQ UHF LLQ UHF W

User manual Rev. 2 — 25 September 2013 10 of 25 NXP Semiconductors UM10710 UBA20270DB1122 - 35 W/46 V/690 mA LED driver demo board The resonant tank consists of transformer T1 and capacitor C2. More primary current flowing through T1 means more secondary (LED) current is flowing. The resonant tank current depends on the bus voltage and the frequency. Transformer T1 has a relatively large leakage inductance dominating the current. What is unique in this design compared to other LED drivers is the feedback control. Instead of a secondary circuit with operational amplifiers and an optocoupler, a current transformer (T2) is used to generate a feedback signal of the actual LED current. Using resistor R6, the LED current is transformed into a voltage for the current sense input (CSI) of the UBA20270. The equations for the LED current versus bus voltage, transformer leakage inductance and transfer ratio, frequency and resonant capacitor value can be found in Multi-Channel Constant Current (MC 3) LED Driver for Indoor LED Luminaries by Haoran Wu (Ref. 2).

6.5 Protection circuits

The UBA20270 IC has two inputs that can be used for protection. One is pulling down the CP pin causing a latched standby. The other option is pulling down the DCI pin causing a reset. There are two protection circuits on the board:

  • LED overvoltage protection
  • Bus (electrolytic capacitor) overvoltage protection Fig 9. Resonant tank for driving the LED string DDD /('VWULQJ 9P$ &B2XW 9%86 IHHGEDFNFRQWURO ( —+ —+ —+ 5VHQVH VHFRQGDU\\ SULPDU\\ &UHV [—+ /S —+ &21VFUHZ

User manual Rev. 2 — 25 September 2013 11 of 25 NXP Semiconductors UM10710 UBA20270DB1122 - 35 W/46 V/690 mA LED driver demo board With the board component values as mounted, the bus overvoltage protection is triggered if the input mains is too high (> 270 V). It resets the UBA20270. The protection is also triggered if an LED output short circuit event occurs, because the pumped up input power is far higher than the used output power then. If an overvoltage situation occurs, the board continuously resets. If going to standby in this overvoltage situation is required, the CP pin can be pulled low instead of the DCI pin. The LED overvoltage can also be configured via jumper 3 to cause a reset rather than a latched standby. For this purpose, the board contains diode D21 and resistor R21. Otherwise every restart slightly increases the output level damaging the diodes or the electrolytic capacitor in the output circuit. For LED output short circuit protection, mount diodes D19 and D20. The diodes avoid a voltage spike on the CSI pin of the UBA20270 at start-up which is too high.

6.6 UBA20270 circuit

The low-voltage VDD of the UBA20270 is generated with a charge pump via capacitor C5 and diode D15 requiring the half-bridge output to run. The VDD supply starts up using resistors R11 and R13. The UBA20270 is designed as a CFL controller IC. Therefore it has a preheat timer. This preheat time is shortened to just a few ms using the R10/C20 circuit.

6.7 ElectroMagnetic Interference (EMI) filter

6.7.1 EMI circuit

The ground of the bridge rectifier is not the ground of the circuit. A common-mode filter with more suppression is required for this passive PFC circuit compared to a conventional active PFC + half-bridge circuit. The combination of resistor R22 and capacitor C26 is used to dissipate some of the differential EMI noise that passes L_EMI. L2 suppresses the common-mode noise using capacitors C1 and C25. The board requires either the protective earth to be connected, to be used on top of a conducting plate or inside a metal box. One of the corners has a track that ensures easy connection to such a metal plate at 1 cm to 3 cm from the PCB. Fig 11.

For this purpose, the operating frequency must be lowered. Small capacitors over diodes D1and D2 at the input stage avoid ringing of inductor LBoost which causes EMI. A small resistor/capacitor combination over the output Schottky diodes D8 and D10 stops ringing in the LLC secondary stage. Fig 14. EMI in a metal box Fig 15.

Errata With the current PCB, it can happen that the ballast does not start at a quick on/off/on cycle. To fix this issue, connect the VDD start-up resistor R13 to the anode of D2. At the same time increase resistor R11 to 220 k. The board EMI spectrum shows a peak at 150 kHz which is on the edge of the limit (depending on the exact load and mains voltage). Its 11th and 13th harmonic are also on the limit. Both problems can be solved by running the board on a lower frequency. To run the board on a lower frequency, increase the LBoost to 1.4 mH. At the same time increase capacitor C22 (CF pin UBA20270) from 100 pF to 120 pF. 12.
