Product details
Overview
SSL1750T/N1,518 from NXP Semiconductors is a dual-mode SMPS controller IC integrating Power Factor Correction (PFC) and flyback control in a single SO16 package, designed for LED drivers delivering 25–250 W from universal AC mains (70–276 VAC). It features valley-switching PFC and flyback stages, burst-mode operation below 25% load, and on-chip high-voltage start-up via pin HV. Used in street lighting and commercial downlights, it reduces external component count by >30% versus discrete controllers.
For engineers reviewing the SSL1750T/N1,518 datasheet, SSL1750T/N1,518 pinout, SSL1750T/N1,518 application, or SSL1750T/N1,518 equivalent, key selection criteria include its integrated PFC+flyback architecture, 16-pin SOIC package with HV start-up capability, quasi-resonant valley switching across both converters, burst-mode efficiency at light load, and latched OTP/overvoltage protections requiring no external sensing circuitry.
Technical Context
The SSL1750T/N1,518 implements two independent yet coordinated control loops: a ton-controlled PFC stage operating in quasi-resonant or discontinuous conduction mode with valley detection via PFCAUX, and a current-mode flyback controller using FBSENSE for peak-current regulation and FBAUX for demagnetization timing. Both stages share valley-switching logic tied to pin HV for drain voltage minimum detection.
Its dual-die architecture combines a high-voltage BCD800 process IC handling start-up, HV sensing, and gate driving (PFCDRIVER/FBDRIVER), and a low-voltage SOI IC managing precision analog functions including OVP (adjustable via VOSENSE), soft-start (PFCSENSE/FBSENSE), and fast latch reset via VINSENSE voltage hysteresis - enabling robust brownout recovery without Cbus discharge.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 70–276 VAC universal mains - enables single-BOM global deployment without input range configuration. |
| PFC Output Power Range | 25–250 W - supports high-efficiency LED drivers for outdoor area lighting and indoor architectural fixtures. |
| Switching Modes | Quasi-resonant + valley skipping + frequency reduction - minimizes EMI and audible noise while maintaining >90% efficiency down to 10% load. |
| PFC Burst Threshold | Vburst(L)/Vburst(H) hysteresis - triggers soft-start/soft-stop transitions to eliminate transformer buzz during light-load operation. |
| Gate Drive Strength | 500 mA source / 1.2 A sink (PFCDRIVER/FBDRIVER) - directly drives 1Ω gate MOSFETs without external buffers. |
| OVP Accuracy | Adjustable via VOSENSE resistor divider - provides ±1.5% tolerance over temperature for reliable bus voltage clamping. |
| Thermal Protection | Latched OTP with HV-supplied reset - shuts down both converters until full power cycle reset, preventing thermal runaway in enclosed luminaires. |
Pinout & Package
SSL1750T/N1,518 is housed in a plastic small outline package (SO16) per SOT109-1 standard: 16-lead, 3.9 mm body width, 1.27 mm pitch, RoHS-compliant, rated for 125°C junction temperature.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC (1) | Internal supply rail | Regulated 15 V output powering SOI die; charged via HV pin during start-up; enters UVLO below 9.5 V. |
| GND (2) | Power and signal reference | Common return for all analog/digital blocks; requires low-inductance PCB connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| FBCTRL (3) | Flyback control voltage input | Sets flyback frequency and peak current limit; 50 mV hysteresis prevents oscillation during burst-mode transitions. |
| FBAUX (4) | Flyback demagnetization sense | Detects secondary stroke end for QR timing; open-circuit fault halts operation immediately - no external pull-up needed. |
| LATCH (5) | General-purpose protection input | 80 µA current source; <1.25 V disables both converters - used for system-level OTP or overtemperature shutdown. |
| PFCCOMP (6) | PFC loop compensation | Connects RC network to set bandwidth; clamped to 2.7–3.9 V during burst mode to stabilize input current waveform. |
| VINSENSE (7) | Mains voltage monitor | Enables brownout protection and MHR optimization; internal clamp allows fast restart after line dropout. |
| PFCAUX (8) | PFC demagnetization sense | Provides ZCS and valley signals for PFC MOSFET; requires 5 kΩ series resistor for lightning surge immunity. |
| VOSENSE (9) | PFC output voltage feedback | Monitors bus voltage for OVP, open-loop protection, and burst-mode triggering; draws only 30 nA bias current. |
| FBSENSE (10) | Flyback current sense input | Measures primary peak current via external shunt; internal 0.5 V soft-start clamp prevents inrush-induced transformer noise. |
| PFCSENSE (11) | PFC current sense input | Cycle-by-cycle OCP threshold set by external resistor; soft-start current limited to 60 µA until 0.5 V reached. |
| PFCDRIVER (12) | PFC gate driver output | 500 mA/1.2 A drive strength - eliminates need for external gate driver in ≤250 W designs. |
| FBDRIVER (13) | Flyback gate driver output | Same drive specs as PFCDRIVER; supports direct connection to 600 V MOSFETs with <10 nF gate charge. |
| HVS (14,15) | High-voltage safety spacer | No electrical connection - provides creepage/clearance isolation between HV and LV sections per IEC 61347. |
| HV (16) | High-voltage start-up & valley sense | Direct rectified-mains connection for start-up current; also senses drain voltage minima for valley switching in flyback stage. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated PFC + Flyback Control | Single-chip solution eliminates separate controllers and inter-stage communication, reducing BOM cost by ≥12 components. |
| Valley-Switching Architecture | Reduces switching losses by 40% vs hard-switched designs - validated by patented PFC/flyback valley detection circuits. |
| Burst Mode with Soft-Start/Stop | Eliminates audible transformer noise at light load by ramping current up/down over 50 ms, not abrupt on/off toggling. |
| On-Chip HV Start-Up | Enables direct connection to rectified mains without auxiliary winding or start-up resistor - cuts standby power by 15 mW typical. |
| Latched OTP with HV Reset | Prevents repeated thermal cycling in enclosed fixtures; resets only when HV and VCC are fully cycled - no false restarts. |
| Adjustable Flyback OVP | VOSENSE pin accepts resistor divider to set OVP threshold from 350–450 V - accommodates varying bus capacitor tolerances. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SMPS controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ICE3PCS01G | Standalone PFC controller only - requires external flyback IC; no integrated burst mode or valley detection for flyback stage. | Suitable for designs needing PFC-only front-end with custom flyback implementation; not drop-in for SSL1750T/N1,518's dual-control topology. | Select when PFC and flyback require independent optimization or when legacy flyback design must be retained. |
| UCC28070 | Two-phase interleaved PFC controller - lacks flyback integration, valley switching, or HV start-up; requires external gate drivers and OVP circuitry. | Targeted at high-power (>300 W) industrial supplies where phase interleaving reduces input ripple; incompatible with SSL1750T/N1,518's compact LED-driver form factor. | Choose for >300 W systems demanding lower THD, but expect +8 BOM components and +4 weeks design cycle vs SSL1750T/N1,518. |
Compared with ICE3PCS01G and UCC28070, SSL1750T/N1,518 delivers complete LED-driver functionality in one package - eliminating inter-controller timing mismatches, reducing layout complexity, and enabling certified Class D compliance with fewer external passives than either alternative.

The SSL1750T/N1,518 is rated for LED driver applications up to 250 W, with optimal performance between 25 W and 250 W. Below 25 W, NXP recommends the SSL152x family or SSL1623PH. The 250 W limit is defined by thermal constraints of the SO16 package and gate drive capability of the integrated PFCDRIVER and FBDRIVER outputs.
Does the SSL1750T/N1,518 support universal AC input voltage?
Yes, the SSL1750T/N1,518 supports universal AC mains input from 70 VAC to 276 VAC, covering 100–240 V nominal grids worldwide. Its VINSENSE pin enables active mains voltage compensation to maintain consistent harmonic performance across this range, meeting IEC 61000-3-2 Class D requirements without manual configuration.
How does the SSL1750T/N1,518 achieve high efficiency at light load?
The SSL1750T/N1,518 achieves high efficiency at light load through coordinated burst-mode operation: when flyback output drops below ~25% of full load, the PFC stage enters burst mode with soft-start/soft-stop transitions, while the flyback stage reduces switching frequency and limits peak current to 25% of maximum - minimizing switching and conduction losses without audible noise.
What protection features are built into the SSL1750T/N1,518?
The SSL1750T/N1,518 integrates multiple hardware-based protections: latched overtemperature protection (OTP) supplied from HV pin, adjustable overvoltage protection (OVP) for both PFC and flyback stages, open-loop detection on VOSENSE and FBSENSE, continuous demagnetization monitoring, mains undervoltage lockout, and soft-start/soft-stop functions to prevent transformer buzz - all implemented without external components.
Can the SSL1750T/N1,518 be used in non-LED applications?
The SSL1750T/N1,518 is optimized for LED driver topologies but can function as a general-purpose AC/DC converter. Its dual PFC+flyback architecture supports constant-voltage outputs for DC/DC LED driver inputs or auxiliary supplies, though NXP's documentation and validation focus exclusively on LED current-source applications up to 250 W.
