LC5523F
Description
The LC5500 series is a power IC for LED drivers. It has
an incorporated power MOSFET, and is designed for input
capacitorless applications, making it possible for systems
to comply with the harmonics standard (IEC61000-3-2
Class C). The controller adapts the average current control
method for realizing high power factors, and the quasi-
resonant topology contributes to high efficiency and low
EMI noise.
The rich set of protection features helps to realize low com-
ponent counts, and high performance-to-cost power supply.
The LC5523F is intended for isolated designs. The incor-
porated MOSFET has a VDSS(min) rating of 650 V and
RDS(on)(max) of 1.9 Ω. It is capable of a maximum output
power of 60 W on 230 VAC supply and 40 W on universal
supply based on the thermal rating. Note that the maximum
output power can be up to 120% to 140% of this value.
However, it may be limited in applications with low output
voltage or short duty cycle.

Features and Benefits
Integrated on-width control circuit (it realizes high power
factor by average current control)
Integrated soft-start circuit (reduces power stress during
start-up on the incorporated power MOSFET and
output rectifier)
Integrated bias assist circuit (improves the startup
performance, suppresses VCC voltage droop during
operation, allows reduction of VCC capacitor value as well
as use of a ceramic capacitor)
Integrated Leading Edge Blanking (LEB) circuit
Integrated maximum on-time limit circuit

Because reliability can be affected adversely by improper storage
environments and handling methods, please observe the following
cautions.
Cautions for Storage
Ensure that storage conditions comply with the standard
temperature (5°C to 35°C) and the standard relative humidity
(around 40% to 75%); avoid storage locations that experience
extreme changes in temperature or humidity.
Avoid locations where dust or harmful gases are present and
avoid direct sunlight.
Reinspect for rust on leads and solderability of the products that
have been stored for a long time.
Cautions for Testing and Handling
When tests are carried out during inspection testing and other
standard test periods, protect the products from power surges
from the testing device, shorts between the product pins, and
wrong connections. Ensure all test parameters are within the
ratings specified by Sanken for the products.
Remarks About Using Silicone Grease with a Heatsink
When silicone grease is used in mounting the products on a
heatsink, it shall be applied evenly and thinly. If more silicone
grease than required is applied, it may produce excess stress.
Volatile-type silicone greases may crack after long periods of
time, resulting in reduced heat radiation effect. Silicone greases
with low consistency (hard grease) may cause cracks in the mold
resin when screwing the products to a heatsink.
Our recommended silicone greases for heat radiation purposes,
which will not cause any adverse effect on the product life, are
indicated below:
Type Suppliers
G746 Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd.
YG6260 Momentive Performance Materials Inc.
SC102 Dow Corning Toray Co., Ltd.
Cautions for Mounting to a Heatsink
When the flatness around the screw hole is insufficient, such as when
mounting the products to a heatsink that has an extruded (burred)
screw hole, the products can be damaged, even with a lower than
recommended screw torque. For mounting the products, the mounting
surface flatness should be 0.05 mm or less.
Please select suitable screws for the product shape. Do not use
a flat-head machine screw because of the stress to the products.
Self-tapping screws are not recommended. When using self-tapping
screws, the screw may enter the hole diagonally, not vertically,
depending on the conditions of hole before threading or the work
situation. That may stress the products and may cause failures.
Recommended screw torque: 0.588 to 0.785 Nm (6 to 8 kgfcm).
For tightening screws, if a tightening tool (such as a driver) hits the
products, the package may crack, and internal stress fractures may
occur, which shorten the lifetime of the electrical elements and can
cause catastrophic failure. Tightening with an air driver makes a
substantial impact. In addition, a screw torque higher than the set
torque can be applied and the package may be damaged. Therefore,
an electric driver is recommended.
When the package is tightened at two or more places, first pre-tighten
with a lower torque at all places, then tighten with the specified torque.
When using a power driver, torque control is mandatory.
Soldering
When soldering the products, please be sure to minimize the
working time, within the following limits:
260±5°C 10±1 s (Flow, 2 times)
380±10°C 3.5±0.5 s (Soldering iron, 1 time)
Soldering should be at a distance of at least 2.0 mm from the
body of the products.
Electrostatic Discharge
When handling the products, the operator must be grounded.
Grounded wrist straps worn should have at least 1 M of
resistance from the operator to ground to prevent shock hazard,
and it should be placed near the operator.
Workbenches where the products are handled should be
grounded and be provided with conductive table and floor mats.
When using measuring equipment such as a curve tracer, the
equipment should be grounded.
When soldering the products, the head of soldering irons or the
solder bath must be grounded in order to prevent leak voltages
generated by them from being applied to the products.
The products should always be stored and transported in Sanken
shipping containers or conductive containers, or be wrapped in
aluminum foil.

any other rights of Sanken or any third party which may result from its use.
• Although Sanken undertakes to enhance the quality and reliability of its products, the occurrence of failure and defect of semicon-
ductor products at a certain rate is inevitable. Users of Sanken products are requested to take, at their own risk, preventative measures
including safety design of the equipment or systems against any possible injury, death, fires or damages to the society due to device
failure or malfunction.
• Sanken products listed in this document are designed and intended for the use as components in general purpose electronic equip-
ment or apparatus (home appliances, office equipment, telecommunication equipment, measuring equipment, etc.).
When considering the use of Sanken products in the applications where higher reliability is required (transportation equipment and
its control systems, traffic signal control systems or equipment, fire/crime alarm systems, various safety devices, etc.), and whenever
long life expectancy is required even in general purpose electronic equipment or apparatus, please contact your nearest Sanken sales
representative to discuss, prior to the use of the products herein.
The use of Sanken products without the written consent of Sanken in the applications where extremely high reliability is required
(aerospace equipment, nuclear power control systems, life support systems, etc.) is strictly prohibited.
• In the case that you use Sanken products or design your products by using Sanken products, the reliability largely depends on the
degree of derating to be made to the rated values. Derating may be interpreted as a case that an operation range is set by derating the
load from each rated value or surge voltage or noise is considered for derating in order to assure or improve the reliability. In general,
derating factors include electric stresses such as electric voltage, electric current, electric power etc., environmental stresses such
as ambient temperature, humidity etc. and thermal stress caused due to self-heating of semiconductor products. For these stresses,
instantaneous values, maximum values and minimum values must be taken into consideration.
In addition, it should be noted that since power devices or IC's including power devices have large self-heating value, the degree of
derating of junction temperature affects the reliability significantly.
• When using the products specified herein by either (i) combining other products or materials therewith or (ii) physically, chemically
or otherwise processing or treating the products, please duly consider all possible risks that may result from all such uses in advance
and proceed therewith at your own responsibility.

• Sanken assumes no responsibility for any troubles, such as dropping products caused during transportation out of Sanken's distribu-
tion network.
