Infineon Technologies ICL88xx Flyback Controllers

Infineon Technologies ICL88xx Flyback Controllers are intended for low and high-power lumen LED drivers, requiring high power and efficiency. The ICL88xx Controllers offer power factor correction (PFC) and low total harmonic distortion (THD) from low to full load conditions.

The Infineon ICL8800, ICL8810, and ICL8820 are voltage mode controllers for flyback topologies operating in quasi-resonant mode and valley switching DCM. The flyback controller is capable of controlling SSR-CV and PSR-CV topologies. The ICL88xx provides a wide usage in low-cost applications where PFC functionality in dual-stage topologies is required.

For lighting applications, the IC offers a wide power range and a comprehensive set of protections, including a power limitation. The IC is easy to design in and requires a minimum number of external
components. The gate driver current enables reasonable designs up to 125W with state-of-the-art MOSFETs. The system performance and efficiency, especially in light load conditions, can be optimized using Infineon CoolMOS™ P7 power MOSFETs.

Additionally, the ICL8810 and ICL8820 deliver an integrated burst mode function allowing designs with a meager standby power consumption and small output ripple during standby mode and very light loads.

The ICL8820 has a jitter function that eases the design of emergency lighting LED drivers without additional circuitry to improve EMI performance.
