1. General description
The SSL2102 is a Switched Mode Power Supply (SMPS) driver IC that operates in
combination with a phase cut dimmer directly from rectified mains. It is designed to drive
LED devices. The device includes a high-voltage power switch, a circuit to allow direct
start-up from the rectified mains voltage and a high-voltage circuitry to supply the phase
cut dimmer.
For dimmer applications, an integrated dedicated circuitry optimizes the dimming curve.
3. Applications
SSL applications below 25 W
SSL retro-fit lamps (for example: GU10, E27)
LED modules such as LED spots and down-lights

8. Functional description
The SSL2102 is an LED driver IC that operates directly from the rectified mains.
The SSL2102 uses on-time mode control and frequency control to control the LED
brightness. The BRIGHTNESS and PWMLIMIT input of the IC can be used to control the
LED light output in combination with an external dimmer. The PWMLIMIT input can also
be used for Thermal Lumen Management (TLM) and for precision LED current control.
If for some reason the auxiliary supply is not sufficient, the high-voltage supply can also
supply the IC. As soon as the voltage on pin VCC drops below the VCC(UVLO) level, the IC
stops switching and will restart from the rectified mains voltage, if the internal current
delivered is sufficient.
8.2 Oscillator
An internal oscillator inside the IC provides the timing for the switching converter logics.
The frequency of the oscillator is set by the external resistors and the capacitor on pin RC
and pin RC2. The external capacitor is charged rapidly to the VRC(max) level and, starting
from a new primary stroke, it discharges to the VRC(min) level. Because the discharge is
exponential, the relative sensitivity of the duty factor to the regulation voltage at low duty
factor is almost equal to the sensitivity at high duty factors. This results in a more constant
gain over the duty factor range compared to Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) systems with
a linear sawtooth oscillator. Stable operation at low duty factors is easily realized. The
frequency of the converter when VBRIGHTNESS is high can be estimated using Equation 1:
1 1
RC = ------- ---------- – t ch arg e (1)
3.5 f osc
R equals the parallel resistance of both oscillator resistors. C is the capacitor connected at
the RC pin (pin 8).
The BRIGHTNESS input controls the frequency reduction mode. Figure 3 shows that the
oscillator switches over from an RC curve with R1//R2 to R1 only. A low BRIGHTNESS
voltage will reduce the switching frequency.

To ensure that the capacitor can be charged within the charge time, the value of the
oscillator capacitor should be limited to 1 nF. Leakage current limits the value of the
resistor connected between the RC pin and the ground should be limited to a maximum of
220 k.

A low PWMLIMIT voltage will results in a low on-time for the internal power switch. The
minimum duty factor of the switched mode power supply can be set to 0 %. The maximum
duty factor is set to 75 %.
The strong bleeder switch is switched on when the maximum voltage on the WBLEED pin
and the SBLEED pin is below the Vth(SBLEED) level (52 V typically). The weak bleeder
switch is switched on as soon as the voltage on pin ISENSE exceeds the Vth(high)(ISENSE)
level (100 mV typically). The weak bleeder switch is switched off when the ISENSE
voltage drops below the Vth(low)(ISENSE) level (250 mV typically). The weak bleeder switch
is also switched off when the strong bleeder switch is switched on. See Figure 5.

Where:
As soon as the oscillator voltage is high again and the secondary stroke has ended, the
circuit waits for a low drain voltage before starting a new primary stroke.
Figure 6 shows the drain voltage together with the valley signal, the signal indicating the
secondary stroke and the RC voltage.
The primary stroke starts some time before the actual valley at low ringing frequencies,
and some time after the actual valley at high ringing frequencies.

Figure 7 shows a typical curve for a reflected output voltage N at an output voltage of
80 V. This voltage is the output voltage transferred to the primary side of the transformer
with the factor N (determined by the turns ratio of the transformer). It shows that the
system switches exactly at minimum drain voltage for ringing frequencies of 480 kHz, thus
reducing the switch-on losses to a minimum. At 200 kHz, the next primary stroke is started
at 33 before the valley. The switch-on losses are still reduced significantly.

8.6 Demagnetization
The system operates in discontinuous conduction mode if the AUX pin is connected. As
long as the secondary stroke has not ended, the oscillator will not start a new primary
stroke. During the first tsup(xfmr_ring) seconds, demagnetization recognition is suppressed.
This suppression may be necessary in applications where the transformer has a large
leakage inductance and at low output voltages.
