Product details
Overview
L6565D from STMicroelectronics is a current-mode quasi-resonant (QR) zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) flyback controller IC for offline AC-DC power supplies. It features line voltage feedforward for constant power delivery across 88–264 VAC input, frequency foldback for <3.5 mA quiescent current at light load, and ±400 mA totem-pole gate drive. Used in 50 W TV SMPS and 40 W inkjet printer adapters compliant with Blue Angel and Energy Star.
For engineers reviewing the L6565D datasheet, L6565D pinout, L6565D application, or L6565D equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context on QR timing control, ZCD-triggered MOSFET turn-on, VFF-based current limit scaling, and hiccup-mode OCP - all critical for designing energy-efficient flyback converters with primary-side regulation.
Technical Context
The L6565D implements transformer demagnetization sensing via its ZCD pin (pin 5), triggering MOSFET turn-on on negative-going edges after arming at 2.1 V and threshold crossing at 1.6 V. Blanking time (≥3.5 µs) is dynamically adjusted by COMP voltage to enforce frequency foldback under light load.
Line feedforward operates through VFF (pin 3), scaling the current-sense clamp voltage (VCSx) inversely with input voltage - e.g., VCSx drops from 1.4 V at VVFF = 0 V to 0.2 V at VVFF = 3 V - enabling stable power delivery across universal mains. The error amplifier uses a 2.5 V ±1% internal reference for primary or optocoupler-coupled secondary regulation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Operating Range | 10.3–18 V - supports direct bulk-cap startup and stable operation across wide-input flyback designs. |
| Start-up Current | <70 µA - enables high-impedance resistor-start circuits without auxiliary winding dependency. |
| Quiescent Current | <3.5 mA - sustains Energy Star/Blue Angel standby compliance in printers and monitors. |
| ZCD Trigger Threshold | 1.6 V (negative edge) with 2.1 V arming - ensures noise-immune QR synchronization using only one auxiliary-winding resistor. |
| Gate Drive Peak Current | ±400 mA - directly drives STP7NB80FI/STP4NA80FP MOSFETs without external buffers in 40–50 W designs. |
| Current Sense Clamp | VCSx = 1.4 V (VVFF = 0 V) → 0.2 V (VVFF = 3 V) - enables precise line-compensated overcurrent protection. |
| Reference Voltage | 2.5 V ±1% @ 25°C - provides stable feedback setpoint for ±5% output regulation in primary-side schemes. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SO-8 (Small Outline Integrated Circuit, 150 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (INV) | Inverting input of error amplifier | Accepts primary-side voltage divider or optocoupler feedback; grounded in secondary-feedback configurations. |
| 2 (COMP) | Error amplifier output | Drives compensation network or optocoupler LED; blanking time and frequency foldback depend on its voltage. |
| 3 (VFF) | Line voltage feedforward input | Scales current-limit threshold inversely with input voltage; grounding disables feedforward and sets max limit. |
| 4 (CS) | Current sense comparator input | Detects primary current via sense resistor; >2 V triggers hiccup-mode OCP shutdown. |
| 5 (ZCD) | Zero-current detection / sync input | Triggers MOSFET turn-on on negative edge after arming; also serves as disable input when pulled <150 mV. |
| 6 (GND) | Signal and gate driver ground | Common return for analog circuitry and 400 mA totem-pole driver; requires low-inductance layout. |
| 7 (GD) | Gate driver output | Directly drives MOSFET gate; includes UVLO pull-down to prevent spurious turn-on during startup. |
| 8 (VCC) | Supply input | Powered via startup resistor from bulk capacitor; regulated internally to 7 V for logic, while gate driver uses raw VCC. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quasi-resonant ZVS control | Reduces switching losses by synchronizing MOSFET turn-on to transformer demagnetization zero-crossing. |
| Line feedforward compensation | Maintains constant output power across 88–264 VAC input by scaling current limit with line voltage. |
| Frequency foldback | Extends light-load efficiency by reducing switching frequency while preserving ZVS operation down to ~10% load. |
| Hiccup-mode OCP | Shuts down gate driver on sustained CS >2 V, then auto-restarts after VCC discharge below UVLO threshold. |
| Ultra-low start-up current | Enables resistor-only startup without auxiliary winding, simplifying board layout and reducing BOM count. |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ICE2QS03G | Integrated 650 V CoolMOS + QR controller in DSO-16; no external MOSFET needed. | Higher integration reduces PCB area but limits MOSFET selection and thermal design flexibility. | Prefer ICE2QS03G for space-constrained designs where 35 W output and fixed MOSFET specs are acceptable. |
| UCC28600DR | Programmable frequency foldback slope and adaptive burst mode; higher BOM cost. | Superior light-load regulation stability in variable-output systems like multi-rail adapters. | Choose UCC28600DR when output cross-regulation under dynamic load steps is critical. |

FAQ
What is the minimum blanking time on the ZCD pin, and how does it affect QR operation?
The ZCD pin has a guaranteed minimum blanking time of 3.5 µs after GD transitions high-to-low. This prevents false triggering from leakage inductance ringing and enforces frequency foldback when required OFF-time falls below this threshold. As COMP voltage decreases under light load, blanking time increases - causing skipped ringing cycles and eventually transitioning to burst mode for ultra-low standby power.
Can the L6565D operate without an auxiliary winding for VCC supply?
Yes - the L6565D supports resistor-start operation using a high-value resistor from bulk capacitor to VCC (pin 8), enabled by its ultra-low 70 µA start-up current. However, an auxiliary winding is required for continuous operation once started, unless a dedicated bias supply is provided. The ZCD pin cannot substitute for VCC supply.
How does line feedforward (VFF) improve power regulation in wide-range inputs?
VFF scales the current-sense clamp voltage (VCSx) inversely with input voltage: at 88 VAC, VCSx ≈ 1.4 V enables higher peak current; at 264 VAC, VCSx ≈ 0.2 V lowers peak current. This compensates for the natural POUT ∝ VIN² relationship in flyback converters, delivering constant output power across universal mains without secondary feedback.
What happens during hiccup-mode OCP, and how does recovery occur?
When CS voltage exceeds 2.0 V, the gate driver is disabled and quiescent current drops to ~2.1 mA. Since no energy is delivered to the VCC capacitor, its voltage decays until reaching the UVLO turn-off threshold (~9.5 V). At that point, the IC fully resets and initiates a new start-up cycle - resulting in low-frequency intermittent operation that protects MOSFET and transformer from thermal overstress.
