DESCRIPTION
The UTC L8565 is a wide input range controller integrated circuit for
active power factor correction. The circuit is designed for boost PFC
application, and requires reduced external component count. Its power
supply is recommended to be provided by an external auxiliary supply
which will switch on and off the IC.
The circuit operates in the continuous conduction mode under average
current, and in discontinuous conduction mode only in light load
condition. The switching frequency can be set with the external resistor at
pin 4. Both current and voltage loop compensations are done externally
to allow full user control.
There are many kinds of protection features incorporated to make sure of safe system operation conditions, such as
brown-out protection, output under voltage detection and peak current limitation. The inside reference is adjusted
(5V±2%) to make sure control level and precise protection. There is a particular soft-start function to limit the start up
current and thus reduces the stress on the boost diode.

DESCRIPTION
The output bus voltage of the boost converter is sensed at this pin via a resistive divider.
The reference voltage for this pin is 5V.
This VCOMP Pin provides the compensation of the output voltage loop with a
compensation network to ground (see Figure 2). This also gives the soft start function
which controls an increasing AC input current during start-up.
At this pin the compensation components of the current loop are connected. The
capacitor which is connected at this pin integrates the output current of OTA2 and
averages the current sense signal.
A resistor connected to this pin sets the fixed switching frequency. The frequency range
is from 50kHz to 250kHz.
The pin senses the negative voltage drop at the external sense resistor (R1). This is the
input signal for the average current regulation in the current loop. It is also fed to the
peak current limitation block. During power up time, high inrush currents cause high
voltage drop at R1, driving currents into pin 5 which could be beyond the absolute
maximum ratings. Therefore a series resistor (R2) of around 220Ω is recommended in
order to limit this current into the IC.
This is the Ground pin.
The GATE pin is the output of the internal driver stage, which has a capability of 1.5A
source and sink current. Its gate drive voltage is clamped at 11.5V (typically).
The VCC pin is the positive supply of the IC and should be connected to an external
auxiliary supply. The operating range is between 10V and 21V. The turn-on threshold is
at 11.2V and under voltage occurs at 10.2V.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
1. General
The UTC L8565 is an active power factor correction controller for boost PFC application. The IC comes in DIP
package and is suitable for wide input range applications from 85 to 265 VAC. The IC is usually realized with boost
converters and it operates in continuous conduction mode with average current control.
The UTC L8565 operates with a cascaded control; the inner current loop and the outer voltage loop. The inner
current loop of the IC controls the sinusoidal profile for the average input current. It uses the dependency of the
PWM duty cycle on the line input voltage to determine the corresponding input current. This means the average
input current follows the input voltage as long as the device operates in CCM. Under light load condition, depending
on the choke inductance, the system may enter into discontinuous conduction mode (DCM). In DCM, the average
current waveform will be distorted but the resultant harmonics are still low enough to meet the Class D requirement
of IEC 1000-3-2. The outer loop controls the output voltage. Depending on the load condition, OTA1 establishes an
appropriate voltage at VCOMP pin which controls the amplitude of the average input current.
The UTC L8565 provides several protection features to ensure safe operating condition for both the system and
device. Important protection features are namely Brown-out protection, Current Limitation and Output Under-voltage
Protection.
2. Power Supply
The operating voltage range of the VCC is from 10V to 21V. An internal under voltage lockout (UVLO) block
monitors the VCC power supply. As soon as it exceeds 11.2V and the voltage at pin 1 (VSENSE) is >0.8V, the IC
begins operating its gate drive and performs its Soft-Start as shown in Fig. 3.
If VCC drops below 10.2V, the IC is off. The IC will then be consuming typically 200µA, whereas consuming 18mA
during normal operation.
The IC can be turned off and forced into standby mode by pulling down the voltage at pin 1 (VSENSE) to lower than
0.8V. The current consumption is reduced to 3mA in this mode.

It sources a constant 10.8µA into the compensation network at pin 2 (VCOMP). The voltage at this pin rises
linearly and so does the amplitude of the input current. As soon as the output voltage VOUT reaches 80% of its rated
level, the startup procedure is finished and the normal voltage control takes over. In normal operation, the IC
operates with a higher maximum current at OTA1 and therefore with a higher voltage loop gain in order to improve
the dynamic behavior of the device.
The advantage of this technique is a soft-start function with lower stress for the boost diode but without the risk of
audible noise.
4. System Protection
The IC is equipped with various protection features to ensure the PFC system in safe operating range. Depending
on the input line voltage (VIN) and output bus voltage (VOUT), When these protections are active the conditions are
shown in Fig. 6 and 7.
The following sections describe the functionality of these protection features.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION(Cont.)
4.1 Brown-Out Protection (BOP)
Input Brown-out occurs if the input voltage VIN falls below the minimum input voltage of the design (i.e. 85V for
universal input voltage range) and the VCC has not entered into the VCC under voltage lockout level yet. For a system
without BOP, the boost converter will increasingly draw a higher current from the mains at a given output power
which may exceed the maximum design values of the input current. The UTC L8565 limits internally the current
drawn from the mains and therefore also limits the input power. The difference of input and output power will result in
decreasing output voltage. If the condition prolongs, the decreasing VOUT will terminate in output under voltage
condition (OUV, 50% of rated), and the IC will be shut down (See section 4.5).
Fig. 8 shows the occurrence of BOP in respect to the ISENSE voltage.
The VIN threshold for BOP to occur is dependent on the voltage at ISENSE and thus the output power. The rated
output power with a minimum VIN (VIN(MIN)) is
POUT (rated) = VINMIN × R10.6
× 2
Due to the internal parameter tolerance, the maximum power with VIN(MIN) before BOP occurs is
POUT (max) = VINMIN × R01×.732
And the BOP takes over the normal operation under rated output power latest at an input voltage of
VBOPMAX = POUT (rated) ×
R1× 2
0.73
4.2 Soft Over Current Control (SOC)
The UTC L8565 is designed not to support any output power that corresponds to a voltage lower than -0.73V at
the ISENSE pin. A further increase in the inductor current, which results in a lower ISENSE voltage, will activate the Soft
Over Current Control (SOC). This is a soft control as it does not directly switch off the gate drive like the PCL. It acts
on the nonlinear gain block to result in a reduced PWM duty cycle.
4.3 Peak Current Limit (PCL)
The UTC L8565 is equipped with a cycle by cycle peak current protection feature. It is active when the voltage at
pin 5 (ISENSE) reaches -1.08V. This voltage is amplified by OP1 with a factor of -1.43 and connected to comparator
C2 with a reference voltage of 1.5V as shown in Fig. 9. A deglitcher with 300ns after the comparator improves noise
immunity to the activation of this protection.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION(Cont.)
4.4 Open Loop Protection / Input Under Voltage Protect (OLP)
Whenever VSENSE voltage falls below 0.8V, or equivalently VOUT falls below 16% of its rated value, it indicates an
open loop condition (i.e. VSENSE pin not connected) or an insufficient input voltage VIN for normal operation. In this
case, most of the blocks within the IC will be shutdown. The function is implemented using comparator C3 with a
threshold of 0.8V as shown in the IC block diagram in Fig. 2.
4.5 Output Under Voltage Detection (OUV)
In the event of main interrupt or brown-out condition, the PFC system is not able to deliver the rated output power.
This will cause the output voltage VOUT to drop below its rated value. The IC provides an output under voltage
detection that checks if VOUT is falling below 50% of its rated value. Comparator C4 as shown in the device block
diagram (Fig. 2) senses the voltage at pin 1 (VSENSE) with a reference of 2.5V. If comparator C4 trips, the IC will be
shut down as in OLP. The IC will be ready to restart if there is sufficient VIN to pull VOUT out of OLP.
4.6 Over-Voltage Protection (OVP)
Whenever VOUT exceeds the rated value by 5%, the over-voltage protection OVP is active as shown in Fig. 7. This
is implemented by sensing the voltage at pin VSENSE with respect to a reference voltage of 5.25V. A VSENSE voltage
higher than 5.25V will immediately reduce the output duty cycle, bypassing the normal voltage loop control. This
results in a lower input power to reduce the output voltage VOUT.
5. Frequency Setting
The switching frequency of the PFC controller is fixed and can be set by an external resistor R5 at FREQ pin. The
pin voltage VFREQ is typically 2.5V. The corresponding capacitor for the oscillator is integrated in the device and the
R5/frequency relationship is given at the “Electrical Characteristic” section. The recommended operating frequency
range is from 50kHz to 250kHz. As an example, a R5 of 33kΩ at pin FREQ will set a switching frequency FSW of
133kHz typically.
6. Average Current Control
6.1 Complete Current Loop
Fig. 10 show the complete system current loop. It consists of the current loop block which averages the voltage at
pin ISENSE, resulted from the inductor current flowing across R1. The averaged waveform is compared with an
internal ramp in the ramp generator and PWM block. Once the ramp crosses the average waveform, the comparator
C1 turns on the driver stage through the PWM logic block. The Nonlinear Gain block defines the amplitude of the
inductor current. The following sections describe the functionality of each individual blocks.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION(Cont.)
6.2 Current Loop Compensation
The compensation of the current loop is done at the ICOMP pin. This is the OTA2 output and a capacitor C3 has
to be installed at this node to ground (see Fig. 10). Under normal mode of operation, this pin gives a voltage which is
proportional to the averaged inductor current. This pin is internally shorted to 5V in the event of IC shuts down when
OLP and UVLO occur.
6.3 Pulse Width Modulation (PWM)
The IC employs an average current control scheme in continuous conduction mode (CCM) to achieve the power
factor correction.
Assuming the voltage loop is working and output voltage is kept constant, the off duty cycle DOFF for a CCM PFC
system is given as
D OFF =
VIN
VOUT
From the above equation, DOFF is proportional to VIN. The objective of the current loop is to regulate the average
inductor current such that it is proportional to the off duty cycle DOFF, and thus to the input voltage VIN. Fig. 11 shows
the scheme to achieve the objective.
The PWM is performed by the intersection of a ramp signal with the averaged inductor current at pin 3 (ICOMP). The
PWM cycle starts with the Gate turn off for a duration of TOFF(MIN) (250ns typ.) and the ramp is kept discharged. The
ramp is then allowed to rise after TOFF(MIN) expires. The off time of the boost transistor ends at the intersection of the
ramp signal and the averaged current waveform. This results in the proportional relationship between the average
current and the off duty cycle DOFF.
Fig. 12 shows the timing diagrams of TOFF(MIN) and the PWM waveforms.

7. PWM Logic
The PWM logic block prioritizes the control input signals and generates the final logic signal to turn on the driver
stage. The speed of the logic gates in this block, together with the width of the reset pulse TOFF(MIN), are designed to
meet a maximum duty cycle DMAX of 95% at the GATE output under 133kHz of operation.
In case of high input currents which result in Peak Current Limitation, the GATE will be turned off immediately and
maintained in off state for the current PWM cycle. The signal TOFFMIN resets (highest priority, overriding other input
signals) both the current limit latch and the PWM on latch as illustrated in Fig. 13.
8. Voltage Loop
The voltage loop is the outer loop of the cascaded control scheme which controls the PFC output bus voltage VOUT.
This loop is closed by the feedback sensing voltage at VSENSE which is a resistive divider tapping from VOUT. The pin
VSENSE is the input of OTA1 which has an internal reference of 5V. Fig. 14 shows the important blocks of this voltage
loop.
8.1 Voltage Loop Compensation
The compensation of the voltage loop is installed at the VCOMP pin (see Fig. 14). This is the output of OTA1 and the
compensation must be connected at this pin to ground. The compensation is also responsible for the soft start
function which controls an increasing AC input current during start-up.

8.2 Enhanced Dynamic Response
Due to the low frequency bandwidth of the voltage loop, the dynamic response is slow and in the range of about
several 10ms. This may cause additional stress to the bus capacitor and the switching transistor of the PFC in the
event of heavy load changes.
The IC provides therefore a “window detector” for the feedback voltage VVSENSE at pin 1 (VSENSE). Whenever
VVSENSE exceeds the reference value (5V) by ±5%, it will act on the nonlinear gain block which in turn affect the gate
drive duty cycle directly. This change in duty cycle is bypassing the slow changing VCOMP voltage, thus results in a
fast dynamic response of VOUT.
9. Output Gate Driver
The output gate driver is a fast totem pole gate drive. It has an in-built cross conduction currents protection and a
Zener diode Z1 (see Fig. 15) to protect the external transistor switch against undesirable over voltages. The
maximum voltage at pin 7 (GATE) is typically clamped at 11.5V.
The output is active HIGH and at VCC voltages below the under voltage lockout threshold VCCUVLO, the gate drive is
internally pull low to maintain the off state.
