Product details
Overview
L6564D from STMicroelectronics is a 10-pin transition mode (TM) power factor correction (PFC) controller IC designed for high-efficiency AC-DC preregulators. It integrates a current-mode PWM controller, bidirectional 1/V² voltage feed-forward, 1% internal reference (at TJ = 25 °C), 600 mA source / 800 mA sink totem-pole gate driver, and comprehensive protection including OVP, brownout detection, and inductor saturation sensing - enabling EN61000-3-2 and JEITA-MITI compliant designs up to 400 W.
For engineers reviewing the L6564D datasheet, L6564D pinout, L6564D application, or L6564D equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, SSOP10 package mapping, real-world PFC system roles, and validated alternative options - all grounded in ST's production-grade documentation (DocID16202 Rev 5, Sept 2013).
Technical Context
The L6564D implements a proprietary "bidirectional" 1/V² feed-forward architecture that dynamically adjusts loop gain during both line surges and sags, improving transient response without external compensation. Its multiplier stage accepts dual inputs (MULT and VFF pins) to derive RMS line voltage and enable accurate THD optimization across universal input ranges (90–264 VAC).
It operates in transition mode using zero-current detection (ZCD pin) to trigger MOSFET turn-on, while the CS pin monitors peak current with dual thresholds: 1.7 V for normal PWM control and an additional level for inductor saturation fault detection. The COMP pin supports type-II/III compensation networks, and burst-mode operation activates below 2.4 V on COMP to prevent overvoltage at light/no load.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC operating range | 10.3–22.5 V - supports wide-input auxiliary supplies; UVLO hysteresis of 2.7 V prevents chatter during brownout recovery. |
| Internal reference accuracy | ±1% at TJ = 25 °C - ensures stable 2.5 V feedback threshold for precise output voltage regulation. |
| Gate drive capability | −600 mA / +800 mA - drives high-Ciss MOSFETs or IGBTs directly; output clamped to ~12 V to limit gate stress. |
| Start-up current | ≤150 µA - enables low-power auxiliary winding design and reduces no-load losses. |
| OVP threshold | 2.5 V on PFC_OK pin (±35 mV) - latched shutdown prevents sustained overvoltage; restart requires VCC cycle or PFC_OK < 2.4 V. |
| Inductor saturation detection | CS pin threshold = 1.7 V ±0.1 V - triggers safety shutdown before core saturation damages switch or diode. |
| Line brownout detection | VFF pin disable threshold = 0.8 V (±50 mV) - non-latched shutdown during AC undervoltage; auto-restart at 0.88 V. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SSOP10 (Small Outline Package, 10-pin, 0.65 mm pitch), per ST's mechanical drawing Table 6 (DocID16202 Rev 5, p.30). Thermal resistance RthJA = 120 °C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 INV | Inverting input of error amplifier | Connects to output voltage divider; high-impedance node (±1 µA bias); clamped to 8–9 V to prevent latch-up. |
| 2 COMP | Error amplifier output | Drives multiplier input; compensation network between COMP and INV sets loop stability; <2.4 V forces burst mode. |
| 3 MULT | Main multiplier input | Accepts rectified mains via resistor divider; linear range 0–3 V; used for current shaping and RMS line sensing. |
| 4 CS | Current sense comparator input | Monitors MOSFET current via sense resistor; 1.7 V threshold detects saturation; includes 150 ns leading-edge blanking. |
| 5 VFF | Voltage feed-forward input | Receives peak-hold DC from MULT; enables 1/V² correction; also hosts brownout comparator (0.8 V trip). |
| 6 PFC_OK | Output voltage monitor / disable | 2.5 V OVP threshold; 0.23 V remote shutdown; latches off if INV < 1.66 V during OVP - detects feedback failure. |
| 7 ZCD | Zero-current detector input | Senses boost inductor demagnetization; negative edge triggers MOSFET turn-on; arming threshold = 1.4 V typ. |
| 8 GND | Signal and gate driver return | Common reference for analog circuitry and totem-pole driver; must be low-inductance connection to minimize noise. |
| 9 GD | Gate driver output | Totem-pole stage; 600 mA source / 800 mA sink; output clamped to 12 V; rise/fall times <110 ns / <60 ns. |
| 10 VCC | Supply voltage input | Power for signal and driver sections; internal Zener clamp at 25 V; recommended 0.1 µF bypass to GND. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional 1/V² feed-forward | Compensates loop gain during both line surges and sags - improves dynamic response without external components. |
| Accurate adjustable OVP | 2.5 V threshold on PFC_OK pin with ±35 mV tolerance and latched shutdown - protects downstream DC-DC stages. |
| Feedback loop disconnection protection | Latched shutdown when INV < 1.66 V during OVP condition - prevents uncontrolled output voltage rise due to open feedback. |
| Inductor saturation detection | Dual-threshold CS comparator (1.7 V nominal) with automatic restart delay - avoids destructive core saturation events. |
| Low start-up current | ≤150 µA at VCC = 10 V - enables compact, low-loss auxiliary supply design for high-efficiency systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transition-mode PFC controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| UCC28051DR | Fixed-frequency CCM/TM hybrid; higher VCC max (28 V); no integrated 1/V² feed-forward - requires external scaling. | Targets higher-power (>500 W) CCM designs; less optimized for universal-input THD at light load. | Prefer UCC28051 for cost-sensitive CCM PFC where THD <8% only required at full load. |
| FAN6961MX | TM-only; built-in THD optimizer; lower gate drive (±500 mA); no latched OVP - uses auto-restart after fault. | Better suited for compact LED drivers (<150 W); lacks brownout detection and feedback failure latch. | Choose FAN6961MX when space-constrained layout and simplified protection suffice for Class C lighting. |
Compared with UCC28051DR and FAN6961MX, the L6564D uniquely combines bidirectional 1/V² feed-forward, latched feedback-failure protection, and SSOP10 integration - making it optimal for high-reliability, universal-input PFC where THD <7% and robust fault handling are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the purpose of the VFF pin on the L6564D?
The VFF pin serves two critical functions: first, it receives the peak-hold DC voltage derived from the MULT pin to enable the proprietary 1/V² feed-forward correction, which stabilizes current-loop gain across varying input voltages; second, it hosts an internal comparator for AC brownout detection, shutting down the IC when voltage drops below 0.8 V (non-latched) and restarting at 0.88 V - ensuring safe operation during line sags.
How does the L6564D protect against feedback loop disconnection?
The L6564D implements latched shutdown when both conditions occur simultaneously: the PFC_OK pin exceeds 2.5 V (indicating overvoltage) AND the INV pin voltage falls below 1.66 V. This dual-condition logic detects open-circuit or shorted feedback resistors, preventing uncontrolled output voltage rise. Recovery requires cycling VCC below 6 V and back above the turn-on threshold - a hardware-level safety mechanism not dependent on external supervision.
Can the L6564D operate in continuous conduction mode (CCM)?
No - the L6564D is exclusively a transition-mode (TM) controller. Its ZCD pin relies on detecting the zero-crossing of inductor current to trigger MOSFET turn-on, and its internal timing architecture assumes discontinuous current flow per switching cycle. Attempting CCM operation would cause loss of synchronization, erratic switching, and potential overcurrent faults. For CCM designs, ST recommends the L4981A or L6566B families.
What is the maximum recommended MOSFET gate charge the L6564D can drive reliably?
With its ±600/800 mA totem-pole driver and 12 V output clamp, the L6564D reliably drives MOSFETs with total gate charge (Qg) up to 45 nC at 70 kHz switching frequency. This is derived from trise < 110 ns and VGS swing of ~10 V: Qg ≈ Isource × trise ≈ 600 mA × 110 ns ≈ 66 nC - derated to 45 nC for margin, PCB trace inductance, and temperature stability across −40 °C to 125 °C junction range.
