ABSTRACT

This paper describes the design of the power train of a two switch forward power supply with a continuous PFC front end based on the FAN4800. Design choices for such a power supply are reviewed. Practical topics including power device selection, magnetic design, layout and EMI are discussed with the aim of helping practicing engineers to accelerate and improve their designs.

1 Introduction

New AC power supply designs in the range 200W - 500W increasingly require power factor correction (PFC) which reduces the energy wasted in the power utility supply lines and increases the maximum power which can be drawn from a power outlet. This article describes the design and construction of a 200W power supply intended for use in an LCD TV, so a lot of attention has been paid to achieve high efficiency, standby power below 1W, small form factor, especially a height of 25mm, simple cooling without a fan and last

but not least, low cost. These features are indispensable for the intended application.

2 Circuit Description and Design

The specifications for this design are: • AC Input Voltage: 85 – 265VRMS • Power-Factor: > 0.95 • Total Output Power: 200W • Three DC Outputs: 5V/0.3A,

12V/5A, 24V/6A

The power supply consists of two units. The first power supply incorporates a PFC circuit, built around the FAN4800 PFC/PWM combo controller and generates the 24V/6A and the 12V/6A outputs. This device contains an average current-mode PFC controller and a PWM controller able to work in both voltage and current mode. In the presented application, the PWM works in current mode and controls a two switch forward converter. This converter generates a regulated 24V

output. The 12V output is generated with a buck converter controlled by an MC34063A PWM controller. This additional block improves regulation of the 12V output and reduces cross-regulation problems, which is always a problem with a multiple output forward converter when loads vary over a wide range. The additional converter cost is not very high if one keeps in mind the more complex and larger coupled inductor for a dual output forward converter. The second power supply is a flyback converter based on the Fairchild Power Switch (FPS) FSD210B that generates both the 5V output and the supply voltage for the FAN4800. This power supply is the one that is active in standby mode and its no load power consumption is below 500mW. Therefore, it is possible to meet the 1W limit for standby consumption even with a small load in an active power save mode. For simplicity, the design calculations and schematics will be given for each block individually. The complete schematic and layout can be found in the appendix.

3 Power Factor Correction

This section reviews the selection of the power devices used in the PFC circuit. The dimensioning of the low power parts that set up the operating point of the multiplier and the gain and frequency compensation of the error amplifiers is reviewed in [1].

3.1 Rectifier

Since the main power supply is designed to deliver an output power of 200W, the total input power, Pin, assuming a efficiency of 90% for the PFC and an efficiency of 90% for the forward converter, including output stage will be:

W2479.09.0

W200PIn =

⋅=

With the minimal input voltage of 85VRMS one gets an maximum input current of:

A9.2V85W247

I RMS,In ==

The common mode choke of the EMI filter has to cope with this current and must at the same time have a high inductance of more than 15mH. There are a few chokes on the market, that combine high current, high inductance and low profile, namely from EPCOS and TDK. The actual value and type of the choke has to be determined with EMI testing and, depending on the operating conditions, might differ from the filter that is proposed in this paper. The negative temperature coefficient thermistor (NTC) in series with the input limits the inrush current, but is not really necessary for the operation of the power supply.

The rectifier could be selected according to IIn,RMS, but noting that diodes with higher current ratings normally have a lower voltage drop at a given current, it is favorable to use a rectifier bridge with a slightly higher current rating. For the actual design, a 6A/800V bridge GBU6K has been chosen. The rectifier loss can be estimated in the well known manner approximating the diode forward characteristic by a constant forward voltage plus a series resistance. The forward voltage VF and the series resistance RS have to be estimated from the datasheet as 0.8V and 0.03Ω respectively for the GBU6K. The loss equation then becomes:

3.2 Inductor L1

In the presented design the amplitude of the ripple current through L1 was chosen to be 20% of the input current. With this choice, the inductance can be calculated according to the following equation [2]:

while the RMS current is equal to the RMS input current. With this current and a current density of 5A/mm2 the necessary copper area is about 0.58mm2. Since the high frequency current is only 20% of the input current, skin- and proximity effect are not very distinct. Three or four thinner wires in parallel, having in sum the required area, are sufficient. In the actual design three wires of 0.5mm diameter have been used, leading to a current density slightly below 5A/mm2. The core size of L1 is chosen with the help of the so-called core area product AP, which is the product of the effective magnetic cross section and the winding area (of the bobbin). This product can easily shown to be

where ACu is the copper area, BPeak is the saturation flux density ( ≤0.35T for most ferrites) and fCu the copper fill factor, that is about 0.5 for a simple inductor and about 0.4 for a transformer with several windings. With these data the necessary AP for L1 is

4P mm14914A =

Based on the observance that for most cores the magnetic cross section and the winding area are very similar, one looks for a core with

Pe AA =

So for our application, a suitable core should have an Ae of about 122mm2. While it is not difficult to find cores with this magnetic cross section, the height of the inductor is limited to 25mm by the application. Therefore, after some careful searching of core and bobbin datasheets, an EER3542 core was chosen, with an Ae of 107mm2 and an AW of 154mm2, giving an AP of about 16500mm4 An approximate length s of the gap in the center leg is given by:

A4.0s

where AL,0 is the AL of the ungapped core (given in the core’s datasheet) and the AL of the gapped core is 1mH/1242 = 65nH. If the latter two values are in nH and Ae is given in mm2, the gap length s is in mm. In this particular case the gap length is about 2 mm.

3.3 Q1 and D1

Since the maximum rated input voltage is 265VRMS, maximum drain voltage of 500V for Q1 seems to be sufficient. It is nevertheless recommended to use a 600V rated MOSFET, since experience shows that a 600V MOSFET is able to withstand the surge test according to IEC 61000-4-5 without damage, while a 500V type needs additional surge voltage limiters. The same is valid for

boost diode D1. This is due to the fact that the electrolytic cap C5 is able to absorb a lot of energy, protecting a 600V device but not a 500V device. The peak currents of Q1 and D1 are identical to that through L1 i.e. 4.5A, while the RMS current of Q1 is given by:

Especially for the MOSFET, low losses and not the peak current is the important factor for selecting a certain device. After some calculations the SUPERFETTM FCP16N60 with a maximum RDSon of about 0.45Ω @ 100°C has been chosen. The total losses of Q1 have to be divided into conduction and switching losses. The conduction losses are:

Switching losses are further divided into losses due to the discharge of the Drain-Source capacitance (plus parasitic capacitances e.g. of the L1 and PCB), losses due to the overlap of voltage and current during the switching process and losses due to reverse recovery of D1. All three terms are not known exactly but have to be estimated with the following expressions:

COSS,eff of the FCP16N60 is 110pF, while the parasitic capacitances Cext have been estimated to be 150pF. Since the data sheet gives the rise- and fall-times at a drain current of 16A, one has to scale these values to the actual current i.e. multiply with 2.9A/16A. Finally, the total loss of Q1 is:

W9P 1Q,Loss ≈

The maximum thermal resistance of a heatsink for Q1 therefore is about 10ºC/W. Conduction losses of D1 are calculated in a similar manner as those of BR1:

4 Two Switch Forward Converter

In this application, the PWM section of the FAN4800 operates in current mode and controls a two switch forward converter. This topology is basically identical to the well known single transistor forward converter. But it has the advantage that each of the two transistors only needs a maximum drain voltage equal to the DC output voltage of the PFC. The standard forward converter in comparison needs double that value, requiring a rated drain voltage of 800 – 900V. Moreover, in the two switch version, the transformer construction is simpler and cheaper since it does not need a reset winding. There are of course disadvantages to be considered: the proposed topology needs two transistors instead of one and the gate signal of one of them is floating at a high voltage. If one has a closer look, these issues are not that big as the on resistance of Power MOSFET is proportional to the drain voltage to the power of 2 to 2.5. That means that two transistors with half the drain voltage and half the on resistance – in order to get same conduction loss – use in sum less silicon. So the cost of either solution is similar. As the gate driver FAN7382 is used, the second drawback disappears as well. This device contains one low-side and one high-side gate driver which are completely independent. That is important since in the two switch forward both transistors are turned off and on at the same time. When both are on, the energy is transferred to the secondary, when both are off, the transformer is de-magnetized via reset diodes D217 and D218. The main design equations for the two switch and the single switch forward are identical and therefore Fairchild Application Note AN-4137 and its associated spreadsheet [2] can be used for calculation after a few changes have been considered. Since the converter DC voltage is generated by a PFC pre-regulator, the line voltages entered into the spreadsheet have to be chosen appropriately in order to get the right DC link voltage. In this application 284VRMS are used for both the minimum and maximum line voltage. The line frequency does not influence the calculation. Next, a huge DC link capacitor (e.g. 1000uF) should be entered pro forma, since, due to the PFC, the ripple voltage across the real DC link capacitor is quite small. The maximum duty cycle has to be strictly below 0.5 to allow transformer de-magnetization. In order to leave some margin a value of 0.45 for the maximum duty cycle has been chosen. Since the sheet was developed for a single transistor forward, the np/nr (Excel: Np/Nr) ratio and the maximum nominal MOSFET voltage can be ignored.

The choice of the current ripple factor KRF for the output filter inductor L5 is normally an iterative process. On the one hand, one would like to make this factor as small as possible to reduce the RMS and peak values of the primary and secondary side currents. On the other hand, L5 shall not be too large. As a consequence, start with a certain ripple factor and then check whether the resulting configuration of L5 is acceptable. In the present design a value of 0.21 has been used for KRF, a value that results in an inductance of 40µH for L5. The calculated windings will fill an EER2828 core completely. With the mentioned choice of KRF the RMS and peak values of the current through Q205 and Q206 are:

As already mentioned a maximum drain voltage slightly bigger than 400V would be sufficient, effectively leading to the use of 500V rated MOSFET. Again, the use of 600V MOSFET is recommended instead of a surge voltage limiter at the input and the SUPERFETTM FCP7N60 having the following data

This gives an upper limit for the losses. In practice, the resonance of the magnetizing inductance and the node output capacitance will reduce the value of the voltage below 400V. The loss of Q206 is of course identical. A heatsink with a maximum thermal resistance of 20ºC/W should be used for each MOSFET. The value of the current sense resistor R233 is chosen such, that a maximum peak current of more than 1.6A is possible. With a value of 0.56Ω, this condition is fulfilled but there is no margin left. For that reason, a value of 0.47Ω has been chosen, which results in a maximum peak current of 2.1A. As inductor L5, the transformer, secondary rectification and filtering can be calculated with the Excel sheet. With the help of the formula for the AP of the transformer given in the worksheet, an EER2834 core has been chosen for the transformer, winding data can be found in the appendix. The calculated reverse voltage of the rectifier diodes is 57V and it is recommended to use ones with a specified maximum voltage of at least 100V. To reduce both conduction and switching losses, it is favorable to use

Schottky diodes. The RMS current load is given in the spreadsheet and can be used to determine suitable diodes; the actual selection is two FYP2010DN diodes. The average current of the rectifier diodes D219 and D220 is given by:

Again, a heatsink of not more than 20ºC/W should be used for each diode. Due to the fast switching of the Schottky diodes, parasitic oscillations are excited that must be damped by the RC networks R246/C250 and R247/C249. While there are a lot of formulae in the literature how to determine the values of these networks, experience shows the calculated values are only a starting point for experimental optimization. It is possible in principle to use the two diodes contained in one FYP2010, but in that case the loss per package is doubled and cooling is complicated. Another reason to use two diodes instead of one is, that the PCB is prepared for the assembly of a self driven synchronous rectifier (not shown) that needs two single diodes.

5 DC/DC Converter

The Buck converter shown in Fig. 3 operates in continuous mode and is controlled by the simple but effective PWM controller MC34063 operating at 100 kHz. Due to the open collector output a driver consisting of Q211/212 is used to drive a p-channel MOSFET. Peak current through Q209, D223 and L6 is 6.3A. Losses can easily be determined as already shown. Just the result is given here:

Both devices need heatsinks having a thermal resistance of less than 25ºC/W.

6 Standby power supply

The flyback type power supply driven by the FSD210B generates not only the 5V output voltage but the supply for FAN4800 and FAN7382 as well. By means of OC2

the main power supply is completely switched off during standby and only this power supply still operates. Principally there is nothing special about this power supply and it can be easily designed with the help of AN-4137 and the related spreadsheet or with the SMPS Design Tool [3] (http://www.fairchildsemi.com/designcenter/acdc/SMPSDT16_Install.zip). The actual design is for an output voltage of 5V and a current of 0.3A, but with the mentioned tool it is not an issue to change the design to a different output voltage and a power up to about 6W. Due to the use of the FOD2711BTV an output voltage down to 3.3V is no problem as well.

7 PCB Layout and Mechanical Construction

In the literature [4] one will find layout rules for power electronics layout rules saying that the enclosed area of loops with high di/dt and the copper area of nodes with high dv/dt must be as small as possible. Both rules are intended to minimize EMI. Further, the source pin of Q1, the ground connection of R233, right hand side of R5 and ground pin of FAN4800 should be connected in form of a star in order to minimize the negative effect of common impedance coupling. In practice there are the problems that the PCB will be larger for higher output powers and the power semiconductors have to be attached to big heatsinks. As a result, it is often not possible to make the loops as small as they should be, while combining the current density rules the copper area of traces and a real star would spoil the complete PCB. Therefore a PCB of a high power power supply sometimes is a compromise, especially in the case of a single sided PCB. The latter has been chosen for cost reasons. If one takes a close look at the actual PCB, one will recognize that some of the less critical signals are not necessarily routed to the shortest path. This enables the large ground plane that emulates the star like connection. Moreover, using the minimum possible spacing between ground plane and hot signals (for reliability reasons this is about 2mm for the given voltage level), minimizes loops. Again for cost reasons, a simple heatsink consisting of a sheet of aluminum with 2mm thickness, bent into the form of a ‘U’ has been used on primary and secondary side. Only Q1, which dissipates more power, needs an additional heatsink.

The efficiency is well above the projected 81% above 110VRMS. At smaller voltages, figures could be improved with a lower resistance EMI filter and by removing NTC1.

8.3 Power Switch and Diode Waveforms

Figure 9: MOSFET and Diode waveforms

The left hand side of shows the drain current (red) and voltage (black ) of Q212. From the current it is obvious the PSU works in CCM. The drain voltage is well clamped to the DC supply voltage when the MOSFET is turned off. After de-magnetization of the transformer the voltage starts to drop. The slope is determined by the resonance of the transformers magnetizing inductance and CDS of the MOSFETs. By chance the drain voltage is close to minimum when the MOSFET is switched on, but this may differ from board to board due to the high tolerance (+/- 30%) of the magnetizing inductance. The diode waveforms on the right hand side clearly show the parasitic oscillations when the diode turns off.

Dr. Michael Weirich

Is the head of the Global Power Resource Center Europe. After finishing his Ph.D. thesis in solid state physics at the University des Saarlandes, Germany he started as a designer for analog and power electronics at the Siems & Becker GMBH, Bonn. Before he joined Fairchild in 2003, he worked several years as engineering manager in the design of fluorescent lamp ballasts at the OSRAM GmbH, Munich.
