Device description  
The L6591 is a double-ended PWM controller specific for the soft-switched half-bridge  
topology. It provides complementary PWM control, where the high-side switch is driven ON  
for a duty cycle D and the low-side switch for a duty cycle 1-D, with D 50 %. An externally  
programmable dead-time inserted between the turn-off of one switch and the turn-on of the  
other one guarantees soft-switching and enables high-frequency operation.  
To drive the high-side switch with the bootstrap approach, the IC incorporates a high-voltage  
floating structure able to withstand more than 600 V with a synchronous-driven high-voltage  
DMOS that replaces the external fast-recovery bootstrap diode.  
The IC enables the designer to set the operating frequency of the converter by means of an  
externally programmable oscillator: the maximum duty cycle is digitally clipped at 50 % by a  
T-flip-flop, so that the operating frequency will be half that of the oscillator.  
At very light load the IC enters a controlled burst-mode operation that, along with the built-in  
non-dissipative high-voltage start-up circuit and the low quiescent current, helps keep low  
the consumption from the mains and be compliant with energy saving recommendations.  
To allow compliance with these standards in two-stage power-factor-corrected systems as  
well, an interface with the PFC controller is provided that enables to switch off the pre-  
regulator between one burst and the following one.  
An innovative adaptive UVLO helps minimize the issues related to the fluctuations of the  
self-supply voltage with the output load, due to transformer's parasitic.  
IC's protection functions include: not-latched input undervoltage (brownout), a first-level  
OCP with delayed shutdown able to protect the system during overload and short circuit  
conditions (either auto-restart or latch mode can be selected) and a second-level OCP that  
latches off the IC when the transformer saturates or one of the secondary diodes fails short.  
Finally, a latched disable function allows easy implementation of OTP or OVP.  
Programmable soft-start and digital leading-edge blanking on current sense input pin  
complete the equipment of the IC.

Pin functions  
Name  
Function  
Line sensing input. The pin is to be connected to the high-voltage input bus  
with a resistor divider. A voltage below 1.25 V shuts down the IC, lowers its  
consumption and discharges the soft-start capacitor. IC’s operation is re-  
enabled as the voltage exceeds 1.25 V. The comparator is provided with  
current hysteresis: an internal 15 µA current generator is ON as long as the  
voltage applied at the pin is below 1.25 V and is OFF if this value is  
exceeded. Bypass the pin with a capacitor to GND (#11) to reduce noise  
pick-up. The pin is intended for either power-on sequencing in systems with  
PFC, or brownout protection. Tie to Vcc (#9) with a 220 to 330 kW resistor if  
the function is not used.

2
LINE  
Latched device shutdown. Internally the pin connects a comparator that,  
when the voltage on the pin exceeds 4.5 V, shuts the IC down and brings its  
consumption to a value barely higher than before start-up. The information  
is latched and it is necessary to recycle the input power to restart the IC: the  
latch is removed as the voltage on the Vcc pin (#9) goes below the UVLO  
threshold. Connect the pin to GND (#11) if the function is not used.

Table 1.  
Pin N.  
Pin functions (continued)  
Name  
Function  
Current sense (PWM comparator) input. The voltage on this pin is internally  
compared with an internal reference derived from the voltage on pin COMP  
and when they are equal the high-side gate drive output (previously  
asserted high by the clock signal generated by the oscillator) is driven low to  
turn off the upper power MOSFET; the lower MOSFET is turned on after a  
delay programmed by the timing capacitor at pin OSC (#5). The pin is  
equipped with 200 ns blanking time for improved noise immunity. A second  
comparator referenced at 0.8 V turns off the upper MOSFET if the voltage  
at the pin exceeds the threshold, overriding the PWM comparator (pulse-by-  
pulse OCP). A third comparison level located at 1.5 V shuts the device  
down and brings its consumption almost to a “before start-up” level (hiccup-  
mode OCP) to prevent uncontrolled current rise. A logic circuit improves  
sensitivity to temporary disturbances.  
3
ISEN  
Soft-start. An internal 20 µA generator charges an external capacitor  
connected between the pin and GND (#11) generating a voltage ramp.  
During the ramp, the internal reference for pulse-by-pulse OCP (see pin #3,  
ISEN) rises linearly starting from zero to its final value, thus causing the  
duty cycle of the upper MOSFET to rise starting from zero as well, and all  
the functions monitoring pin COMP (#7) are disabled. The same capacitor  
is used to delay IC’s shutdown (latch-off or auto-restart mode selectable)  
after detecting an overcurrent condition. The SS capacitor is quickly  
discharged as the chip goes into UVLO.  
4
SS  
Oscillator pin. A resistor to VREF (#6) and a capacitor from the pin to GND  
(#11) define the oscillator frequency. The maximum duty cycle is limited  
below 50 % by an internal T-flip-flop. As a result, the switching frequency will  
be half that of the oscillator. The capacitor value defines the dead-time  
separating the conduction state of either MOSFET. This capacitor should  
not be lower than 220 pF.  
5
6
OSC  
Voltage reference. An internal generator furnishes an accurate voltage  
reference (5 V 4 %, all inclusive) that can be used to supply up to 5 mA to  
an external circuit. A small film capacitor (0.1 µF typ.), connected between  
this pin and GND (#11) is recommended to ensure the stability of the  
generator and to prevent noise from affecting the reference.  
VREF  
Control input for PWM regulation. The pin is to be driven by the  
phototransistor (emitter-grounded) of an octocoupler to modulate the  
voltage by modulating the current sunk from (sourced by) the pin (0.4 mA  
typ.). It is recommended to place a small filter capacitor between the pin  
and GND (#11), as close to the IC as possible to reduce switching noise  
pick up, to set a pole in the output-to-control transfer function. A voltage  
lower than 1.75 V shuts down the IC and reduces its current consumption.  
The chip restarts as the voltage exceeds 1.8 V. This function realizes burst-  
mode operation at light load.  
7
COMP  
Open-drain ON/OFF control of PFC controller. This pin is intended for  
temporarily stopping the PFC controller at light load in systems comprising  
a PFC pre-regulator, during burst-mode operation (see pin COMP, #7). The  
pin, normally open, goes low if the voltage on COMP is lower than 1.75 V  
and opens when the voltage on pin COMP exceeds 1.8V. Whenever the IC  
is shut down (SS > 5 V, DIS>4.5, ISEN >1.5 V) the pin is low as well,  
provided the supply voltage of the IC is above the restart threshold (typ. 5  
V). It is open during UVLO. Leave the pin open if not used

Pin functions (continued)  
Name  
Function  
Supply voltage of both the signal part of the IC and the low-side gate driver.  
The internal high voltage generator charges an electrolytic capacitor  
connected between this pin and GND (#11) as long as the voltage on the  
pin is below the start-up threshold of the IC, after that it is disabled and the  
chip turns on. Sometimes a small bypass capacitor (0.1 µF typ.) to GND  
might be useful to get a clean bias voltage for the signal part of the IC. The  
minimum operating voltage (UVLO) is adapted to the loading conditions of  
the converter to ease burst-mode operation, during which the available  
supply voltage for the IC drops.  
9
Vcc  
Low-side gate-drive output. The driver is capable of 0.3 A min. source and  
0.8A min. sink peak current to drive the gate of the lower MOSFET of the  
half-bridge leg. The pin is actively pulled to GND (#11) during UVLO.  
10  
11  
LVG  
Chip ground. Current return for both the low-side gate-drive current and the  
bias current of the IC. All of the ground connections of the bias components  
should be tied to a track going to this pin and kept separate from any pulsed  
current return.  
GND  
High-voltage spacer. The pin is not connected internally to isolate the group  
of high-voltage pins and comply with safety regulations (creepage distance)  
on the PCB.  
12  
13  
N.C.  
High-side gate-drive floating ground. Current return for the high-side gate-  
drive current. Layout carefully the connection of this pin to avoid too large  
spikes below ground.  
FGND  
High-side floating gate-drive output. The driver is capable of 0.3 A min.  
source and 0.8 A min. sink peak current to drive the gate of the upper  
MOSFET of the half-bridge leg. A pull-down resistor between this pin and  
pin 13 (FGND) makes sure that the gate is never floating during UVLO.  
14  
15  
HVG  
High-side gate-drive floating supply voltage. The bootstrap capacitor  
connected between this pin and pin 13 (FGND) is fed by an internal  
synchronous bootstrap diode driven in-phase with the low-side gate-drive.  
This patented structure can replace the normally used external diode.  
BOOT  
High-voltage start-up. The pin is to be connected directly to the rectified  
mains voltage. A 0.8 mA internal current source charges the capacitor  
connected between pin Vcc (#9) and GND (#11) until the voltage on the Vcc  
16  
HVSTART pin reaches the start-up threshold. Normally it is re-enabled when the  
voltage on the Vcc pin falls below 5 V, except under latched shutdown  
conditions, in which case it is re-enabled as the Vcc voltage falls 1 V below  
the start-up threshold to keep the latch active.

Application information  
The L6591 is an advanced current-mode PWM controller specific for fixed-frequency, peak-  
current-mode-controlled ZVS half-bridge converters. In these converters the switches  
(MOSFET’s) are controlled with complementary duty cycle: the high-side MOSFET is driven  
ON for a duty cycle D and the low-side MOSFET for a duty cycle 1-D. For a proper operation  
the maximum allowed duty cycle must be limited below 50 %.  
An externally programmable dead-time T inserted between the turn-off of one MOSFET  
D
and the turn-on of the other one ensures soft-switching and enables high-frequency  
operation with high efficiency and low EMI emissions. See Section 5.6: Oscillator and dead-  
time programming on page 19 section for more information on how to program T .  
D
The device is able to operate in different modes (Figure 4), depending on the converter’s  
load conditions:  
1. Fixed frequency at heavy load. A relaxation oscillator, externally programmable with a  
capacitor and a resistor generates a sawtooth and releases clock pulses during the  
falling edges of the sawtooth. In this region the low-side MOSFET is turned off by the  
even pulses of the clock signal and the high-side MOSFET is turned on after a delay;  
the high-side MOSFET is turned off and, after a delay, the low-side MOSFET is turned  
on in response to the control loop.  
2. Burst-mode control with no or very light load. When the load is extremely light or  
disconnected, the converter will enter a controlled on/off operation with fixed duty cycle,  
where a series of few switching cycles are spaced out by long periods where both  
MOSFETs are in OFF-state. A load decrease will be then translated into a frequency  
reduction, which can go down even to few hundred hertz, thus minimizing all  
frequency-related losses and making it easier to comply with energy saving  
regulations. Being the peak current very low, no issue of audible noise arises.

Application information  
5.1  
High-voltage start-up generator  
Figure 5 shows the internal schematic of the high-voltage start-up generator (HV generator).  
It is made up of a high-voltage N-channel FET, whose gate is biased by a 15 MW resistor,  
with a temperature-compensated current generator connected to its source.  
With reference to the timing diagram of Figure 6, when power is first applied to the converter  
the voltage on the bulk capacitor (Vin) builds up and, as it reaches about 80 V, the HV  
generator is enabled to operate (HV_EN is pulled high) and draws about 1 mA. This current,  
diminished by the IC consumption, charges the bypass capacitor connected between pin  
Vcc (9) and ground and makes its voltage rise almost linearly.  
As the Vcc voltage reaches the start-up threshold (13.5 V typ.) the IC starts operating and  
the HV generator is cut off by the Vcc_OK signal asserted high. The IC is powered by the  
energy stored in the Vcc capacitor until the self-supply circuit develops a voltage high  
enough to sustain the operation. The residual consumption of this circuit is just the one on  
the 15 MW resistor (10 mW at 400 Vdc), typically 50-70 times lower, under the same  
conditions, as compared to a standard start-up circuit made with an external dropping  
resistor.

operation  
At converter power-down the system will lose regulation as soon as the input voltage is so  
low that either peak current or maximum duty cycle limitation is tripped. Vcc will then drop  
and stop IC’s activity as it falls below the UVLO threshold (10.5 V typ.). The Vcc_OK signal  
is de-asserted as the Vcc voltage goes below a threshold Vcc  
located at about 5 V. The  
rest  
HV generator can now restart but, if Vin < Vin  
, as shown in Figure 6, HV_EN is de-  
start  
asserted too and the HV generator is disabled. This prevents converter’s restart attempts  
and ensures monotonic output voltage decay at power-down.  
The low restart threshold Vcc  
ensures that, during short circuits, the restart attempts of  
rest  
the L6591 will have a very low repetition rate, as shown in the timing diagram of Figure 7,  
and that the converter will work safely with extremely low power throughput.  
The restart threshold of the HV generator is changed when any latched disable function of  
the IC is invoked to ensure a real latch-off. For more details see Latched shutdownsection.

Operation at no load or very light load  
When the PWM control voltage at pin COMP falls below a threshold located at 1.75 V, the IC  
is disabled with both the high-side and the low-side MOSFET kept in OFF-state, the  
oscillator stopped and the quiescent consumption very much reduced to minimize Vcc  
capacitor discharge.  
The control voltage now will increase as a result of the feedback reaction to the energy  
delivery stop and, as it exceeds 1.82 V, the IC will restart switching. After a while, the control  
voltage will go down again in response to the energy burst and stop the IC. In this way the  
converter will work in a burst-mode fashion with a nearly constant peak current. A further  
load decrease will then cause a frequency reduction, which can go down even to few  
hundred hertz, thus minimizing all frequency-related losses and making it easier to comply  
with energy saving regulations. The timing diagram of Figure 8 illustrates this kind of  
operation, showing the most significant signals.  
If it is necessary to decrease the intervention threshold of the burst-mode operation, this can  
be done by adding a small DC offset on the current sense pin as shown in Figure 9.  
Note: The offset reduces the available dynamics of the current signal; thereby, the value of  
the sense resistor must be determined taking this offset into account.

To help the designer meet energy saving requirements even in power-factor-corrected  
systems, where a PFC pre-regulator precedes the DC-DC converter, the L6591 allows that  
the PFC pre-regulator can be turned off during burst-mode operation, hence eliminating the  
no-load consumption of this stage (0.5÷1 W). There is no compliance issue in that because  
EMC regulations on low-frequency harmonic emissions refer to nominal load, no limit is  
envisaged when the converter operates with light or no load.  
To do so, the L6591 provides the PFC_STOP (#8) pin: it is an open collector output,  
normally open, that is asserted low when the IC is idle during burst-mode operation. This  
signal will be externally used for switching off the PFC controller and the pre-regulator as  
shown in Figure 10. When the L6591 is in UVLO the pin is kept open, to let the PFC  
controller starts first.

PWM control block  
The device is specific for secondary feedback. Typically, there is a TL431 at the secondary  
side and an optocoupler that transfers output voltage information to the PWM control at the  
primary side, crossing the isolation barrier. The PWM control input (pin #7, COMP) is driven  
directly by the phototransistor’s collector (the emitter is grounded) to modulate the duty  
cycle. It is recommended to place a small filter capacitor between the pin and GND (#11), as  
close to the IC as possible to reduce switching noise pick up, to set a pole in the output-to-  
control transfer function.  
PWM comparator, PWM latch and hiccup-mode OCP  
The PWM comparator senses the voltage across the current sense resistor (Rs) and, by  
comparing it with the programming signal derived by the voltage on pin COMP (#7),  
determines the exact time when the high-side MOSFET is to be switched off. The PWM  
latch avoids spurious switching, which might be caused by the noise generated (“double-  
pulse suppression”).  
A second comparator senses the voltage on the current sense input and shuts the IC down  
if the voltage at the pin exceeds 1.5 V. Such an anomalous condition is typically generated  
by either a short circuit of one of the secondary rectifiers or a shorted secondary winding or  
a saturated transformer. This condition is latched as long as the IC is supplied; hence if the  
IC is supplied by an external source it is necessary to disconnect the source to restart the  
IC.  
To distinguish an actual malfunction from a disturbance (e.g. induced during ESD tests), the  
first time the comparator is tripped the protection circuit enters a “warning state”. If in the  
next switching cycle the comparator is not tripped, a temporary disturbance is assumed and  
the protection logic will be reset in its idle state; if the comparator will be tripped again a real  
malfunction is assumed and the L6591 will be stopped.  
If the device is self-supplied no energy is coming from the self-supply circuit, then the  
voltage on the Vcc capacitor will decay and cross the UVLO threshold after some time,  
which clears the latch. The internal start-up generator is still off, then the Vcc voltage still  
needs to go below its restart voltage before the Vcc capacitor is charged again and the IC  
restarted. Ultimately, either of the above mentioned failures will result in a low-frequency  
intermittent operation (Hiccup-mode operation), with very low stress on the power circuit.  
The timing diagram of Figure 11 illustrates this operation.

Latched shutdown  
The L6591 is equipped with a comparator having the non-inverting input externally available  
at the pin DIS (#2) and with the inverting input internally referenced to 4.5 V. As the voltage  
on the pin exceeds the internal threshold, the IC is immediately shut down and its  
consumption reduced at a low value.  
The information is latched and it is necessary to let the voltage on the Vcc pin go below the  
UVLO threshold to reset the latch and restart the IC. To keep the latch supplied as long as  
the converter is connected to the input source, the HV generator is activated periodically so  
that Vcc oscillates between the start-up threshold V  
and V  
– 1 V. It is then  
ccON  
ccON  
necessary to disconnect the converter from the input source to restart the IC. This operation  
is shown in the timing diagram of Figure 12. Activating the HV generator in this way cuts its  
power dissipation approximately by three (as compared to the case of continuous  
conduction) and keeps peak silicon temperature close to the average value.

This function is useful to implement a latched over temperature protection very easily by  
biasing the pin with a divider from VREF, where the upper resistor is an NTC physically  
located close to a heating element like the MOSFET, or the secondary diode or the  
transformer. An OVP can be implemented as well, e.g. by sensing the output voltage and  
transferring an overvoltage condition via an optocoupler.

During the negative-going ramp of the sawtooth a clock pulse is released. A T flip-flop, along  
with a logic circuit, separates the odd and the even clock pulses. The even ones turn off the  
low-side MOSFET first and, after a dead time Td, turn on the high-side MOSFET. Normally,  
the high-side MOSFET is turned off (and the low-side MOSFET turned on after the dead  
time Td) in response to the control loop; in case of overload it will be the overcurrent  
comparator to do the job or, in case of open control loop, the odd clock pulses will limit the  
maximum ON-time within one oscillator cycle. In this way, the maximum duty cycle will be  
limited right below 50 % and the operating frequency of the converter will be half that of the  
oscillator. Precisely, with reference to the waveforms in Figure 15, where Tsw= 2/fosc, the  
maximum achievable duty cycle is:

At start-up the first clock pulse will turn on the low-side MOSFET for 10 oscillator cycles to  
charge the bootstrap capacitor and then the high-side MOSFET will switch on. When the IC  
resumes switching during burst-mode operation the first clock pulse will turn-on the low-side  
MOSFET first to charge the bootstrap capacitor, and just after the second clock pulse the  
high-side MOSFET will switch-on. In this way the bootstrap capacitor will always be charged  
and ready to supply the high-side floating driver. The oscillator waveforms are illustrated in  
Figure 15 as well.  
The dead-time Td equals the duration of the negative-going ramp of the oscillator sawtooth  
plus an internal delay of 125 ns; hence it depends on the timing capacitor CT and the  
resistor RT and is given by the approximate relationship:

condition of shoot-through can be generated, however it is recommended not to use  
capacitor values lower than 220 pF.

Adaptive UVLO  
A major problem when optimizing a converter for minimum no-load consumption is that the  
voltage generated by the self-supply system under these conditions falls considerably as  
compared even to a few mA load. This very often causes the IC's supply voltage Vcc to drop  
and go below the UVLO threshold of the controller so that the operation becomes  
intermittent, which is undesired. A low UVLO threshold would be helpful but it could be an  
issue to drive the MOSFETS with a sufficient gate-drive voltage at heavy load during power  
off.  
To help the designer overcome this problem, the L6591, besides reducing its own  
consumption during burst-mode operation, also features a proprietary adaptive UVLO  
function. It consists of shifting the UVLO threshold downwards at light load, namely when  
the voltage at pin COMP falls below a threshold VCOMPL internally fixed, so as to provide  
more headroom. To prevent any malfunctioning during transients from minimum to  
maximum load the normal (higher) UVLO threshold is re-established when the voltage at pin  
COMP exceeds VCOMPL (with some mV hysteresis) and Vcc has exceeded the normal  
UVLO threshold (see Figure 16). The normal UVLO threshold ensures that under heavy  
load conditions the MOSFETS will be driven with an appropriate gate voltage.

Line sensing function  
This function basically stops the IC as the input voltage to the converter falls below the  
specified range and lets it restart as the voltage goes back within the range. The sensed  
voltage can be either the rectified and filtered mains voltage, in which case the function will  
act as a brownout protection, or, in systems with a PFC pre-regulator front-end, the output  
voltage of the PFC stage, in which case the function will serve as a power-on and power-off  
sequencing.  
L6591 shutdown upon input under voltage is accomplished by means of an internal  
comparator, as shown in the block diagram of Figure 17, whose non-inverting input is  
available at the LINE pin (#1). The comparator is internally referenced to 1.25 V and  
disables the IC if the voltage applied at the LINE pin is below the internal reference. Under  
these conditions the soft-start discharged, the pin PFC_STOP is open and the consumption  
of the IC is reduced. PWM operation is re-enabled as the voltage on the pin is above the  
reference. The comparator is provided with current hysteresis instead of a more usual  
voltage hysteresis: an internal 15 µA current sink is ON as long as the voltage applied at the  
LINE pin is below the reference and is OFF if the voltage is above the reference.

This approach provides an additional degree of freedom: it is possible to set the ON  
threshold and the OFF threshold separately by properly choosing the resistors of the  
external divider (see below). With voltage hysteresis, instead, fixing one threshold  
automatically fixes the other one depending on the built-in hysteresis of the comparator.  
With reference to Figure 17, the following relationships can be established for the ON  
(VinON) and OFF (VinOFF) thresholds of the input voltage:

While the line undervoltage is active the start-up generator keeps on working but there is no  
PWM activity, thus the Vcc voltage continuously oscillates between the start-up and the  
UVLO thresholds, as shown in the timing diagram of Figure 17.  
The LINE pin, while the device is operating, is a high impedance input connected to high  
value resistors, thus it is prone to pick up noise, which might alter the OFF threshold or give  
origin to undesired switch-off of the IC during ESD tests. It is possible to bypass the pin to  
ground with a small film capacitor (e.g. 1-10 nF) to prevent any malfunctioning of this kind. If  
the function is not used the pin has to be connected to the VREF pin (#6) through a resistor  
in the range of 10 to 100 k.  
5.9  
Soft-start and delayed latched shutdown upon overcurrent  
At device start-up, a capacitor (Css) connected between the SS pin (#4) and ground is  
charged by an internal current generator, ISS1, from zero up to about 2 V where it is  
clamped. During this ramp, the overcurrent setpoint progressively raises from zero the final  
value (0.8 V). The time needed for the overcurrent setpoint to reach its steady state value,  
referred to as soft-start time, is approximately:  
Equation 8  
CSS  
TSS = 0.8  
ISS1  
During the ramp, the MOSFET duty cycle increases progressively, hence controlling the  
start-up inrush current. Furthermore, all the functions that monitor the voltage on pin COMP  
are disabled.  
The soft-start pin is also invoked whenever the control voltage (COMP) saturates high,  
which reveals an open-loop condition for the feedback system. This condition very often  
occurs at start-up, but may be also caused by either a control loop failure or a converter  
overload/short circuit.  
23/32  
Application information  
Figure 16. Soft-start pin operation under different operating conditions  
L6591  
While in case of feedback loop failure the system must be stopped quickly to prevent the  
output voltage from reaching too high values, an overload or a short circuit does not  
generally need such fast intervention. The L6591 makes it easier to handle such conditions:  
the 2 V clamp on the SS pin is removed and a second internal current generator ISS2 = ISS1  
/4 keeps on charging Css. If the voltage reaches 5 V the IC will be disabled, if it is allowed to  
reach 2 VBE over 5 V, the IC will be latched off. In the former case the resulting behavior will  
be identical to that under short circuit illustrated in Figure 11; in the latter case the result will  
be identical to that of Figure 12. The time delay before stopping switching upon overload is:  
Equation 9  
CSS  
Tdelay = 12  
ISS1  
If the overload disappears before the SS voltage reaches 5 V the ISS2 generator will be  
turned off and the voltage gradually brought back down to 2 V. A diode, with the anode to the  
SS pin and the cathode connected to the VREF pin (#6) allows the designer to select either  
an auto-restart mode or a latch-mode behavior upon overload.  
If latch-mode behavior is desired also for converters short circuit, make sure that the supply  
voltage of the IC never falls below the UVLO threshold before activating the latch. Figure 18  
shows soft-start pin behavior under different operating conditions.  
Figure 17 shows a typical high-power adapter application that uses the L6591 in conjunction  
with the L6563 PFC controller.

Summary of L6591 power management functions  
It has been seen that the device is provided with a number of power management functions:  
different operating mode upon loading conditions, protection functions, as well as interaction  
with the PFC pre-regulator. To help the designer familiarize with these functions, in the  
following tables all of theme are summarized with their respective activation mechanism and  
the resulting status of the most important pins. This can be useful not only for a correct use  
of the IC but also for diagnostic purposes: especially at prototyping/debugging stage, it is  
quite common to bump into unwanted activation of some function, and these tables can be  
used as a sort of quick troubleshooting guide.

1. Use one external diode from SS (#14) to VREF (#10), cathode to VREF.  
2. The condition is latched as long as the IC is supplied; the HV generator is not invoked.  
3. All values are typical unless otherwise specified.  
It is worth reminding that “auto-restart” means that the device will work intermittently as long  
as the condition that is activating the function is not removed; “Latched” means that the  
device is stopped as long as the unit is connected to the input power source and the unit  
must be disconnected for some time from the source in order for the device (and the unit) to  
restart.
