4.4 Startup operation
On this demonstration board the startup resistors R7 and R16 charge C10 and C11 until the
L6563S turn-on voltage threshold is reached, at which point the L6563S starts switching.
Because once the turn-on threshold is reached the Vcc consumption increases and the
current supplied by R7 and R16 is lower, the L6563S is initially supplied by the Vcc
capacitor, and then the L1 auxiliary winding provides the voltage to supply the IC.
In the following Figure 27 and 28 the waveforms during the startup of the circuit at mains
plug-in are shown. We can notice that the Vcc voltage rises up to the turn-on threshold, and
the L6563S starts operating. As mentioned previously, for a short time the energy is
supplied by the Vcc capacitor, and then the auxiliary winding with the charge pump circuit
takes over. At the same time, the output voltage rises from the peak value of the rectified
mains to the nominal value of the PFC output voltage. The good margin of the
compensation network allows a clean startup, without any large overshoot.
4.5 PFC_OK pin and feedback failure (open loop) protection
During normal operation, the voltage control loop provides for the output voltage (Vout) of
the PFC pre-regulator close to its nominal value, set by the resistor ratio of the feedback
output divider. In the L6563S the PFC_OK pin has been dedicated to monitor the output
voltage with a separate resistor divider composed of R3, R6, R11 (high) and R15 (low), see
Figure 2. This divider is selected so that the voltage at the pin reaches 2.5 V if the output
voltage exceeds a preset value (V
OVP
), usually larger than the maximum Vout that can be
expected, also including worst-case load/line transients.
