L6566BTR

STMicroelectronics · AC-DC Controllers And Regulators · SO-16

L6566BTR from STMicroelectronics, in a SO-16. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 HVS input High-voltage start-up input withstanding up to 700 V; internal 1 mA current source charges Vcc capacitor until IC turn-on threshold (13-15 V) is reached.
2 N.C. unconnected Not internally connected; provision for PCB clearance to meet safety requirements.
3 GND power_in Ground reference for signal and gate driver current return; must use separate PCB path from pulsed currents to avoid noise coupling.
4 GD output Gate driver output; totem pole stage with 800 mA peak source/sink current capability for driving MOSFET and IGBT gates.
5 Vcc power_in Supply voltage input with operating range 10.6 to 23 V after turn-on; IC disabled below adaptive UVLO threshold which reduces at light load.
6 FMOD output Frequency modulation output generating symmetrical triangular waveform via internal current sources charging external capacitor; connect resistor to OSC pin for spread-spectrum EMI reduction.
7 CS input Current sense input to PWM comparator with 150 ns minimum blanking time; 1.5 V second threshold triggers latched shutdown for transformer saturation or secondary diode short-circuit detection.
8 DIS input Latched disable input; voltage exceeding 4.5 V latches IC off reducing consumption; latch clears when Vcc falls below UVLO or AC_OK pulled low.
9 COMP input Feedback control input for loop regulation via phototransistor emitter current; operating range 2.5 to 5 V with internal 2 V bottom clamp; voltage below 1.4 V shuts down IC.
10 VREF power_in Accurate 5 V ± 2% internal voltage reference output supplying few mA to external circuits; IC latches off upon reference failure or drift detection.
11 ZCD input Zero current detector and overvoltage protection input from auxiliary winding; negative-going edge triggers MOSFET turn-on in QR mode; voltage above 5 V activates OVP shutdown.
12 MODE/SC input Operating mode selection input; tie to VREF for quasi-resonant mode (oscillator sets maximum frequency) or leave open for fixed-frequency mode (70% maximum duty cycle); delivers slope compensation ramp.
13 OSC output Oscillator frequency setting; internal 1 V voltage source with resistor to GND defining oscillator current; sets maximum frequency in QR mode or actual frequency in FF mode.
14 SS input Soft-start capacitor input charging from internal current source; progressive duty-cycle ramp during startup; also delays latched shutdown upon overload protection triggering.
15 VFF input Line voltage feedforward input with linear range 0 to 3 V modulating pulse-by-pulse current limit setpoint inversely; voltage above 3 V stops switching.
16 AC_OK input Brownout protection input with 0.45 V threshold; below threshold shuts down IC and clears latched protections; above threshold re-enables operation with internal 15 µA hysteresis current.
