PowerInt’s HiperLCS family features a multi-function controller, high-side and low-side gate drivers, and an integrated LLC power stage with two half-bridge connected power MOSFETs, saving up to 30 external components, and operating at a maximum frequency of 1MHz. Steady-state operating frequency up to 500kHz, full load efficiency up to 98%, mainly used in high-efficiency power supplies (80+ silver, gold and platinum), LCD TV power supplies, LED block and area cooperative lighting, printer power supplies and audio amplifier power supplies. This article introduces HiperLCS series main features, block diagram, LCD TV and PC main power application Circuit diagram, 150 W laser printer power supply and 125 W LCD TV power supply circuit diagram with LCS701HG, bill of materials and PCB layout.
The HiperLCS is an integrated LLC power stage incorporating a multi-function controller, high-side and low-side gate drivers, plus two power MOSFETs in a half-bridge configuration. Figure 1 shows a simplified schematic of a HiperLCS based power stage where the LLC resonant Inductor is integrated into the transformer.
The variable frequency controller provides high efficiency by switching the power MOSFETs at zero voltage (ZVS), eliminating switching losses.
