STMicroelectronics L6699 series AC to DC Converter ICs

The L6699 is a double-ended controller specific to series-resonant half bridge topology. Both LLC and LCC configurations are supported. It provides symmetrical complementary duty cycle: the high-side switch and the low-side switch are driven ON/OFF 180° out-of-phase for exactly the same time. Output voltage regulation is obtained by modulating the operating frequency. The deadtime inserted between the turn-off of one switch and the turn-on of the other one is automatically adjusted to best fit the transition times of the half bridge midpoint. To drive the high-side switch with the bootstrap approach, the IC incorporates a high voltage floating structure able to withstand more than 600 V with a synchronous-driven high voltage DMOS that replaces the external fast-recovery bootstrap diode.
