9 / 20 page Rev. A 11/01/10 9 LNK454/456-458/460 www.powerint.com Reduce the capacitance value to find the minimum acceptable value. Reducing the capacitance value reduces power dissipation and therefore increases efficiency. If the bleeder circuit does not maintain conduction in the TRIAC, then add a damper. The purpose of the damper is to limit the inrush current (as the input capacitance charges) and associated ringing that occurs when the TRIAC turns on. Initially add a passive damper which is a simple resistor in series with the AC input (R20 in Figure 7). Values in the range of 10 W – 100 W are typical with the upper range being limited by the allowed dissipation / temperature rise and reduction in efficiency. Values below 10 W may also be used but are less effective especially in high AC line input designs. If a passive damper is insufficient to prevent incorrect TRIAC operation then an active damper can be added. This is typical in high line applications due to the much larger inrush current that flows when the TRIAC turns on. A low cost active damper circuit is formed by R3, R4, C3, Q3, R7 and R8 in Figure 7. Resistor R7 and R8 limit the inrush current and can be a much higher value than the passive case as they are in circuit for only a fraction of the line cycle. Silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) Q3 shorts R7 and R8 after a delay defined by R3, R4 and C3. The delay is adjusted to give the shortest time that provides acceptable dimmer performance to minimize the dissipation in the resistors. The SCR is a low current, low cost device available in TO-92 packages with very low gate current requirements. The gate drive requirement of the selected SCR together with the minimum specified line voltage defines the maximum value of R7 and R8. It’s common for different dimmers to behave differently across manufacturers and power ratings. For example a 300 W dimmer requires less dampening and requires less power loss in the bleeder than a 600 W or 1000 W dimmer due to the use of a lower current rating TRIAC which typically have lower holding currents. Line impedance differences can also cause variation in behavior so during development the use of an AC source is recommended for consistency however testing using AC mains power should also be performed. Electronic Trailing Edge Dimmers Figure 11 shows the line voltage and current at the input of the power supply with a trailing edge electronic dimmer. In this example, the dimmer conducts at 90 degrees. This type of dimmer typically uses a power MOSFET or IGBT to provide the switching function and therefore no holding current is necessary. Also since the conduction begins at the zero crossing, high current surges and line ringing are not an issue. Use of these types of dimmers typically does not require damper and bleeder circuits. Thermal Considerations Lighting applications present unique thermal challenges for the power supply designer. In many cases the LED load and associated heatsink determine the power supply ambient temperature. Therefore it is important to properly heatsink and verify the operating temperatures of all devices. For the LinkSwitch-PL device a SOURCE pin (D package) or exposed pad (K or V package) temperature of <115 °C is recommended to allow margin for unit to unit variation. Worst case conditions are typically maximum output power, maximum external ambient and either minimum or maximum input voltage. Layout Considerations Primary Side Connections The BYPASS pin capacitor should be located as close to the BYPASS pin and connected as close to the SOURCE pin as possible. The SOURCE pin trace should not be shared with the main power MOSFET switching currents. All FEEDBACK pin components that connect to the SOURCE pin should follow the same guideline as for the BYPASS pin capacitor. It is critical that the main power MOSFET switching currents return to the bulk capacitor with the shortest path possible. Long high current paths create excessive conducted and radiated noise. 50 100 150 200 250 300 350 Conduction Angle (°) 350 250 150 50 -50 -150 -250 -350 0.35 0.25 0.15 0.05 -0.05 -0.15 -0.25 -0.35 PI-5986-060810 Voltage Current 0 Figure 11.
