Product details
Overview
L6561D013TR from STMicroelectronics is a transition-mode Power Factor Correction (PFC) controller IC designed for AC-DC front-end stages in electronic lamp ballasts, SMPS, and adapters. It features ±400mA totem-pole gate drive, 1% precision internal 2.5V reference (at Tj = 25°C), micro-power start-up current (50µA typ.), and integrated zero-current detection with disable function on ZCD pin.
For engineers reviewing the L6561D013TR datasheet, L6561D013TR pinout, L6561D013TR application, or L6561D013TR equivalent, key selection criteria include OVP threshold adjustability (via R1/R2), THD performance across 85–265VAC input, dynamic/static overvoltage protection timing, and compatibility with MOSFET/IGBT switching in boost PFC topologies.
Technical Context
The L6561D013TR implements a mixed-signal BCD process-based analog multiplier with linear operation up to 3.5V on MULT pin and gain of 0.45–0.75 V⁻¹. Its error amplifier delivers 60–80dB open-loop gain and 1MHz GBW, enabling stable compensation with external RC networks between COMP and INV pins.
Transition-mode operation is enforced via zero-current detection on ZCD pin, with 2.1V rising-edge threshold and 0.3–0.7V hysteresis. The internal start-up timer (70–400µs) and disable function (150–250mV threshold on ZCD) support low-power standby modes without external circuitry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VREF | 2.5V ±1% at Tj = 25°C - sets precise output voltage regulation point via R1/R2 divider |
| ISTART-U | 50µA typical - enables direct high-resistance VCC bootstrap without auxiliary winding |
| Iq | 4mA typical - minimizes quiescent power loss in continuous operation |
| IGD | ±400mA peak - drives gate capacitance of STP8NA50/STP7NA40 MOSFETs directly |
| OVP Trigger Current | 40µA typical - initiates dynamic OVP when output overvoltage exceeds ∆Vout = R1 × 40µA |
| ZCD Threshold | 2.1V rising edge - synchronizes switching to inductor current zero-crossing for soft switching |
| UVLO Hysteresis | 2.5V typical - ensures clean turn-on/turn-off at VCC = 12V ON / 9.5V OFF |
Pinout & Package
DIP-8 package with through-hole mounting; 0.3-inch width, 10.92mm body length, and 2.54mm lead pitch per JEDEC MS-001.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (INV) | Inverting input of error amplifier | Connects to voltage divider from regulated output; sets feedback reference point at 2.5V |
| 2 (COMP) | Error amplifier output | Drives multiplier input; requires external RC compensation network to INV pin for loop stability |
| 3 (MULT) | Multiplier input | Accepts rectified mains signal; enables line-voltage feedforward for low-THD operation |
| 4 (CS) | Current sense comparator input | Monitors MOSFET source current via sense resistor; triggers switch turn-off at programmed peak current |
| 5 (ZCD) | Zero-current detector input | Grounding disables device (Iq drops to 1.4mA); rising edge at 2.1V starts new switching cycle |
| 6 (GND) | Analog/digital ground return | Common reference for control circuitry and driver stage; must be low-impedance path |
| 7 (GD) | Gate driver output | Totem-pole stage delivers ±400mA to drive MOSFET gate; 40–100ns rise/fall time into 1nF load |
| 8 (VCC) | Supply voltage input | Operates from 11–18V; includes UVLO with 2.5V hysteresis and internal zener clamp at 20V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated OVP with dual-stage response | Dynamic OVP (40µA trigger) + Static OVP (2.25V threshold) prevents sustained overvoltage damage |
| No external current-sense filter required | On-chip current sense filtering eliminates need for RC low-pass network at CS pin |
| Disable function via ZCD pin | Pulling ZCD ≤150mV reduces Iq to 1.4mA, enabling low-power standby without external logic |
| Transition-mode optimized architecture | ZCD synchronization and soft-start timer ensure zero-voltage switching across universal input range |
| Mixed BCD process implementation | Enables 1% reference accuracy, micro-power start-up, and ±400mA drive in single DIP-8 package |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PFC controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| UCC28019DR | Fixed-frequency CCM PFC controller; no ZCD pin; requires external current sense amplifier | Designed for higher-power (>200W), fixed-frequency continuous conduction mode systems | Select when CCM operation and higher average current handling are required over transition-mode efficiency |
| FAN7930C | Transition-mode PFC controller with 200mA sink/source drive; no integrated OVP comparator | Targets cost-sensitive consumer adapters; relies on external OVP circuitry | Choose where lower gate drive strength and external protection are acceptable for sub-65W designs |
Compared with UCC28019DR and FAN7930C, the L6561D013TR uniquely combines ZCD-synchronized transition-mode operation, ±400mA drive, and dual-stage OVP in DIP-8 - making it optimal for 65–120W universal-input ballasts and adapters requiring minimal external components and robust overvoltage immunity.

FAQ
What is the recommended minimum value for the R1 resistor used in the OVP circuit?
The OVP triggering current is 40µA typical, so R1 must be sized such that ∆Vout = R1 × 40µA defines the overvoltage margin. For a 400V nominal output with ±60V OVP threshold, R1 = 60V / 40µA = 1.5MΩ minimum. ST recommends R1 ≥ 1MΩ to maintain accuracy within 7% OVP tolerance across temperature.
Can the L6561D013TR operate without an external startup resistor?
No - the L6561D013TR requires an external high-value resistor (e.g., 1MΩ) from rectified mains to VCC to provide initial charging current. Its 50µA start-up current is too low for direct connection to bulk capacitor; the resistor ensures reliable turn-on before VCC reaches 12V UVLO threshold.
How does the ZCD pin disable function interact with the internal start-up timer?
When ZCD is pulled ≤150mV, the device enters low-power disable mode (Iq ≈ 1.4mA). Releasing ZCD allows the internal 70–400µs start-up timer to initiate soft-start sequence, re-enabling gate drive only after VCC exceeds 12V and internal references stabilize - preventing erratic turn-on.
Is the 1% reference voltage specification guaranteed over temperature?
No - the 1% precision applies only at Tj = 25°C. Over –40°C to 125°C, VREF varies from 2.44V to 2.56V (±2.4%), as shown in Figure 14. System-level accuracy must account for this drift when designing R1/R2 feedback dividers for tight output regulation.
