Important Note:
Although this board is designed to satisfy safety isolation requirements, the engineering
prototype has not been agency approved. Therefore, all testing should be performed
using an isolation transformer to provide the AC input to the prototype board.

DER-212, 150 W Street Light Power Supply Using PLC810PG 01-Jun-09
1 Introduction
This engineering report describes a 150 W reference design power supply for 230 VAC
input LED street lights and also serves as a general purpose evaluation board for the
PLC810PG
The design is based on the PLC810PG controller IC which integrates both continuous
current mode (CCM) boost PFC and resonant half-bridge (LLC) control functions together
with high-side and low side drivers for the LLC stage MOSFETs. To allow optimum
design of the LLC transformer (T1) for high efficiency (high k factor – the ratio of parallel
to series inductance) the design operates in burst mode at zero load. The supply is thus
protected against output overvoltage at low/zero load, but it will not deliver a steady
output voltage at zero load. A practical LED street light power supply design that includes
an auxiliary output winding to power the LED driver circuitry may not have this limitation.
DER-212 demonstrates a design using the commonly employed single transformer and
resonant inductor magnetic component (integrated magnetics) for the LLC stage
(common in display applications). However, the PLC810 may as easily be used with
separated transformer and resonating inductor. PI design materials support both
approaches.

4 Circuit Description
The main converter uses the PLC810PG in a primary-side-control, PFC + LLC
configuration.
PFC inductor L4 has a grounded shield band to prevent electrostatic and magnetic noise
coupling to the EMI filter components. Capacitors C3 and C4 provide differential mode
EMI filtering. To meet safety requirements resistors R1, R2 and R3 discharge these
capacitors when AC is removed. The heat sink for PFC switch FET Q2 and PFC output
diode D2 is tied to primary return at the cathode of D3 via capacitor C80 to eliminate the
heat sink as a source of conducted noise into the chassis/protective Earth ground.
A 220 MΩ, 500 V power MOSFET was selected for Q2 to maximize the efficiency of the
PFC stage. A TO-247 package device was selected for better heat transfer.

Capacitor C10 provides local bypassing for the drive circuit. Current sensing for the PFC
stage is provided by R6 and R8. The sense voltage is clamped to two diode drops by D3
and D4, protecting the current sense input of the controller IC during fault conditions.
Diode D1 charges the PFC output capacitor (C9) when AC is first applied. This routes the
inrush current around the PFC inductor L4 preventing it from saturating and causing
stress in Q2 and D2 when the PFC stage begins to operate. Capacitor C11 is used to
shrink the high frequency loop around components Q2, D2 and C9 to reduce EMI. The
incoming AC is rectified by BR1 and filtered by C7. Capacitor C7 was selected as a low-
loss polypropylene type due to its low loss and low impedance characteristics. This
capacitor provides the high instantaneous current through L4 during Q2 on-time.
Components Q24, Q25, Q27, VR9, VR10, VR11, D24, C70, R103, R111, R113, R114,
and R117 constitute the bias regulator and start-up functions. Resistor R113 charges
capacitor C70 through mosfet Q24 to provide start-up bias for controller U1. The Q24
output voltage is clamped by VR10. Transistor Q25 shuts off the start-up circuit when the
primary bias supply reaches regulation. Darlington transistor Q27, R111, and VR9 form a
simple emitter-follower voltage regulator. Transistor Q26 switches on relay RL1 when the
primary bias supply reaches regulation, shorting out thermistor RT1.
4.2.3 Controller
Figure 4 also shows the circuitry around the main controller IC U1, which provides control
functions for the input PFC and output LLC stages.

Compared to the above spreadsheet, actual operating frequency is considerably higher than the expected
operating frequency of 90 kHz shown. This is due to the effective turns ratio of the transformer, which
results in an operating turns ratio lower than the ratio of primary turns to secondary turns (NP/NS). The
graphs shown below were generated by adjusting the turns ratio in the spreadsheet until the expected
operating frequency shown in the spreadsheet was identical to the actual operating frequency of the unit
under test.

The PFC regulates the LLC and standby supply input voltage under normal conditions so
the outputs will not be affected by the AC input voltage. Variations due to temperature
and component tolerances are not represented. The 48 V output varies by less than 1%
over a load range of 2% to 100% load.

For DC output ripple measurements, use a modified oscilloscope test probe to reduce
spurious signals. Details of the probe modification are provided in figures below.
Tie two capacitors in parallel across the probe tip of the 4987BA probe adapter. Use a
0.1 µF / 50 V ceramic capacitor and 1.0 µF / 100 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor. The
aluminum-electrolytic capacitor is polarized, so always maintain proper polarity across
DC outputs.

13 Conducted EMI
Conducted EMI tests were performed with a 16 Ω resistive load on the 48 V main output.
The unit was placed on a metallic ground plane, which in turn was hard wired to the AC
cord ground. The resistive load was connected to the ground plane with a pair of 2.2 nF
capacitors (one at the positive feed, and one at the return) to simulate the capacitive
coupling of LED modules to a grounded street light casing. The peak shown at `90 MHz
is actually 10 dB lower than shown in the graph, as the EMI receiver changes scale at 80
MHz.

14 Line Surge
Differential input line 1.2/50 µs surge testing was completed on a single test unit to
IEC61000-4-5. Input voltage was set at 230 VAC / 60 Hz. Output was loaded at full load
and operation was verified following each surge event. During testing no output
interruption was seen.
Notes: 1) A ground plane was placed under the PSU bracket and load resistors (load
resistors are aluminum case units mounted on heat sinks). The resistive load was
bypassed to the ground plane with (2) 2.2 nF capacitors (one at the +48 V input
lead, one at return) to simulate the capacitance of LED arrays to a grounded street
light case, but otherwise feft floating. The input AC safety ground wire was
connected to the ground plane.
