APPLICATION INFORMATION
Function Description

The SIC9653 is a constant current driver chip dedicated for LED Lighting applications. The device integrates a 650V high voltage MOSFET, operating under DCM mode and suitable for operating
between 176-265V voltage ranges. With good linear regulation, load regulation and outstanding constant current characteristic, only using few peripheral components can also achieve low cost and high efficiency LED constant current controller.

The SIC9653 has adopted double winding feedback technology. It can operate without light coupling feedback, TL431 feedback and also power supply and auxiliary winding detection. The system has achieved low cost demand.  

Start up
The starting current of the the SIC9653 is very low, after the system is powered on, VDD starting resistance start charge the capacitance. When the VDD reach the open threshold range, the circuit begins to work. When the SIC9653 is under normal operation condition, the internal circuit of the electric current can be as low as 50 μ A, and internal system can offer an unique power mechanism. Thus, power supply can run normally without auxiliary winding supply.

Sampling resistance and constant current control

The SIC9653 works under the DCM mode, and it has a reference voltage of 400 mv inside. The reference voltage and inductance in the system compares the original edge peak current calculation. Through the adjustment of the sampling resistance, it is able to achieve the current control of LED 
driver:

RISEN is the sample resistance

NP is the number of turns that winding around primary side of transformer

NS is the number of turns that winding around secondary side of transformer

Operating frequency of the system The SIC9653 system operates under DCM mode. Without the loop compensation its maximum space occupancy is 45%. In order to guarantee the operating stability of the system, the minimum working frequency was limited internal the chip. The maximum operating frequency of the chip recommendation is not to over than 100 KHZ. The system working frequency calculation formula goes to below:

Note: LP is Transformer primary side inductance

Over voltage protection

When designing the system, the open circuit voltage can be determined by turn ratios to the transformer. However, due to the various load requirements, different open circuit voltage protection requirements have brought inconvenience for the design of the transformer. Through the adjustment of an external resistor RADJ pin, the SIC9653 can achieved under the condition of reasonable design of transformer. By adjusting the external resistor RADJ pin open circuit protection voltage, the SIC9653 can adjust system without changing the transformer. Such design can not only do great benefit to the customer's system design, but also convenient for production and operations. Finally allows users to obtain better efficiency and effectiveness.

In the system, when the LED is on the open condition, due to no load connection, the output voltage will gradually rise, leading to the decrease of demagnetization time, therefore the RADJ through an external resistor can control the corresponding demagnetization time. It can also get open circuit voltage protection at the same time. Calculate according to the internal circuit, can draw RADJ relations with VOVP formula goes as:

RISEN is the sample resistance

NPS is the turns ratio of secondary side of transformer

VOVP is The set value of over voltage protection

Protection Function

The SIC9552 has a variety of protective functions such as the LED to open/short circuit protection, ISEN resistance short-circuit protection, VDD over-voltage/under-voltage, temperature adaptive adjustment and etc. When the SIC9552 is working, it is able to monitoring the various working status automatically. When the load turns to open, the circuit will enter a state of over-voltage protection, immediately shut the internal MOSFET will be shut down immediately and the system runs into interval detection at the same time. After the recovery of the failure, circuit will automatically return to normal working state; if Load circuit runs into short situation, the system will work at around 5 KHZ state of low frequency, low power consumption, constantly monitoring the system at the same time. After the load circuit is back to normal condition, the circuit will also resume back to normal working status; In the situation of ISEN resistance short-circuit, or other failure such as inductor saturation, fast protection mechanism circuit will immediately stop the MOSFET switching action. Working circuit power supply will also be declined, at this point, when UVLO circuit is triggered, the system will also restart. In summary, such design can realize the protection function of trigger and restart working mechanism.

During the working process, when the SIC9552 detected the circuit junction temperature runs over the temperature adjusting threshold (155 ℃), the circuit will enter a state of a temperature adjusting control, reducing the output current to control the output power and rise of temperature. That can enable the system to maintain in the normal range of stable operating temperature.

PCB Layout

1. It’s very critical for VDD bypass capacitor,should be as close as possible to VDD and GND pin.

2. The area of main current loop should be as small as possible to reduce EMI radiation, such as the inductor, the output diode and the bus capacitor loop.

3. The power ground path should be separated from small signal ground path and shorten the distance with the capacitance.

4. RADJ external resistance need to be close to RADJ pins, and connected to the ground.

5. The NC pin(PIN3) should be connected to GND (pin1) , RADJ resistance will set to the ground if possible.

6. DRN pin (PIN5, PIN6) apply copper area should be as large as possible for better thermal dissipation. However too large copper area may compromise EMI performance.
