HR1215
Multi-Mode PFC and Current Mode LLC
Controller without Shutdown during
X-Capacitor Discharge Period
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The HR1215 is a multi-mode PFC and current
mode LLC combo controller that is configurable
via a UART interface. Power-saving technology
optimizes efficiency across the entire operating
range.
•
General System Features:
o HV Current Source for Start-Up
o Smart X-Capacitor Discharge during AC
Dropout, Approved by IEC62368
o UART Interface for Configurations
o User-Friendly GUI for Digital PFC
PFC Controller:
o CCM/DCM Multi-Mode PFC Control with
High Efficiency across All Loads
o Up to 250kHz Operating Frequency
o High PF due to Input Capacitor (CIN)
Current Compensation
o Configurable Frequency Jittering
o Configurable Soft Start (SS)
o Configurable Burst On
o Configurable AC Input Brown-In/Out
o Cycle-by-Cycle Current Limiting
o OLP and OVP
The PFC controller employs a patented, digital
average current control scheme to achieve
hybrid continuous conduction mode and
discontinuous conduction mode (CCM/DCM). At
heavy loads, CCM reduces the peak MOSFET
current so that the controller can be used across
a wider load range. At light loads, DCM reduces
the switching frequency (fSW) for improved
efficiency. Burst mode has configurable, digital
soft switching that can improve both light-load
efficiency and audible noise.
•
Current mode control is implemented in the LLC
stage for improved system stability and fast
transient response. Three operation modes are
implemented based on the different load
conditions: steady state, skip mode, and burst
mode. This allows different load conditions to be
optimized independently for improved efficiency.
At light loads, digital, frequency-controlled burst
mode is applied to reduce both switching power
loss and audible noise. Adaptive dead time
adjustment (ADTA) and capacitive mode
protection (CMP) are also applied to guarantee
zero-voltage switching (ZVS) without capacitive
mode.
•
LLC Controller:
o 600V High-Side MOSFET (HS-FET)
Gate Driver with Bootstrap (BST) Diode
and High dV/dt Immunity
o Current Mode Control
o Up to 500kHz in Steady State
o ADTA with Min and Max Limit
o Burst Mode/Skip Mode Switching at
Light Loads
o Configurable Burst Frequency with Low
Audible Noise
o Configurable SS
o Configurable DC Input Brown-In/Out
o Capacitive Mode Protection
o OCP/OPP with Auto-Restart or Latch
o Configurable Protection on SO Pin
The HR1215 has an internal, high-voltage
current source for start-up. This means that a
traditional start-up resistor or external circuit is
not required. The high-voltage (HV) current
source can be implemented as an X-capacitor
discharger while the AC input is in dropout, so a
capacitor resistor is not required.
