The FL7930 is an active Power Factor Correction (PFC)
controller for low-to high-power lumens applications that
operate in Critical Conduction Mode (CRM). It uses a
voltage-mode PWM that compares an internal ramp
signal with the error amplifier output to generate a
MOSFET turn-off signal. Because the voltage-mode
CRM PFC controller does not need rectified AC line
voltage information, it saves the power loss of an input
voltage sensing network necessary for a current-mode
CRM PFC controller.

The FL3930B provides an additional OVP pin that can
be used to shut down the boost power stage when
output voltage exceeds OVP level due to damaged
resistors connected at the INV pin. The FL7930C
provides a PFC-ready pin can be used to trigger other
power stages when PFC output voltage reaches the
proper level (with hysteresis).

FL7930 provides over-voltage, open-feedback, overcurrent, input-voltage-absent detection, and undervoltage lockout protections. The FL7930 can be
disabled if the INV pin voltage is lower than 0.45V and
the operating current decreases to a very low level.
Using a new variable on-time control method, THD is
lower than the conventional CRM boost PFC ICs.

1. Startup: Normally, supply voltage (VCC) of a PFC
block is fed from the additional power supply, which can
be called standby power. Without this standby power,
auxiliary winding for zero current detection can be used
as a supply source. Once the supply voltage of the PFC
block exceeds 12V, internal operation is enabled until
the voltage drops to 8.5V. If VCC exceeds VZ, 20mA
current is sinking from VCC.
Figure 26. Circuit Around INV Pin
Figure 25. Startup Circuit
2. INV Block: Scaled-down voltage from the output is
the input for the INV pin. Many functions are embedded
based on the INV pin: transconductance amplifier,
output OVP comparator, and disable comparator.
For the output voltage control, a transconductance
amplifier is used instead of the conventional voltage
amplifier. The transconductance amplifier (voltagecontrolled current source) aids the implementation of
OVP and disable functions. The output current of the
amplifier changes according to the voltage difference of
the inverting and non-inverting input of the amplifier. To
cancel down the line input voltage effect on power factor
correction, effective control response of PFC block
should be slower than the line frequency. This conflicts
with the transient response of controller. Two-pole onezero type compensation may be used to meet both
requirements.
Figure 27. Timing Chart for INV Block
3. OVP Pin: Over-Voltage Protection (OVP) is
embedded by the information at the INV pin. That
information comes from the output through the voltage
dividing resistors. To scale down from high voltage to
low voltage, high resistance normally replaced with low
resistance. If the resistor of high resistance is damaged
and resistance is changed to high, INV pin information is
normal, but output voltage exceeds its rated output.
Once this occurs, output electrolytic capacitor may be
damaged. The FL3930B provides an additional OVP pin
that can be used to shut down the boost power stage
when output voltage exceeds the OVP level if the
resistors connected at the INV pin are damaged. To
prevent such a catastrophe, an additional OVP pin is
assigned to double check output voltage. The additional
OVP may be called second OVP, while INV pin OVP
can be called the first OVP. Since the two OVP
conditions are quite different, the protection recovery
modes are different.
The OVP comparator shuts down the output drive block
when the voltage of the INV pin is higher than 2.675V
with 0.175V hysteresis. The disable comparator
disables operation when the voltage of the inverting
input is lower than 0.35V with 100mV hysteresis. An
external small-signal MOSFET can be used to disable
the IC. The IC operating current decreases to reduce
power consumption if the IC is disabled. Figure 27 is the
timing chart of the internal circuit near the INV pin when
rated-PFC output voltage is assumed at 390VDC and
VCC supply voltage is 15V.

Figure 30. Two Cases of RDY Triggered LOW
5. Control Range Compensation: On time is controlled
by the output voltage compensator. When input voltage
is high and load is light, the control range becomes
narrow compared to when input voltage is low. That
control range decrease is anti-proportional to the double
square of the input voltage. Thus, at high line, unwanted
burst operation can occur at light load and audible noise
may be generated from the boost inductor or inductor at
input filter. Unlike other converters, burst operation in
PFC block is not needed because the PFC block itself is
normally disabled in Standby Mode. To reduce
unwanted burst operation at light load, internal control
range compensation is implemented and no burst
operation occurs until 5% load at high line.
Figure 28. Comparison of First and Second OVP
Recovery Modes
4. RDY Output: The FL7930C provides a PFC-ready
pin that can be used to trigger other power stages when
PFC output voltage reaches the proper level with
hysteresis. When the INV voltage is higher than 2.24V,
RDY out is triggered HIGH and lasts until the INV
voltage is lower than 2.051V. When input AC voltage is
quite high, for example 240VAC, PFC output voltage is
always higher than RDY threshold, regardless of boost
converter operation. In this case, the INV voltage is
already higher than 2.24V before PFC VCC touches
VSTART. After boost converter operation stops, RDY is
not pulled LOW because the INV voltage is higher than
the RDY threshold. When VCC of the PFC drops below
5V, RDY is pulled LOW even through PFC output
voltage is higher than threshold. The RDY pin output is
open-drain, so needs an external pull-up resistor to
supply the proper power source. The RDY pin output
remains floating until VCC is higher than 2V.
6. Zero-Current Detection: Zero-Current Detection
(ZCD) generates the turn-on signal of the MOSFET
when the boost inductor current reaches zero using an
auxiliary winding coupled with the inductor. When the
power switch turns on, negative voltage is induced at the
auxiliary winding due to the opposite winding direction
(see Equation 1) and positive voltage is induced (see
Equation 2) when the power switch turns off.

Once the first OVP triggers, switching stops immediately
and recovers switching when the output voltage is
decreased with a hysteresis. When the second OVP
triggers, switching can be recovered only when the VCC
supply voltage falls below VSTOP and builds up higher
than VSTART again and VOVP is lower than hysteresis. If
the second OVP is not used, the OVP pin must be
connected to the INV pin or to ground.

Figure 32. Auxiliary Voltage Depends
on MOSFET Switching
Figure 34. Restart Timer at Startup
To check the boost inductor current zero instance,
auxiliary winding voltage is used. When boost inductor
current becomes zero, there is a resonance between
boost inductor and all capacitors at MOSFET drain pin,
including COSS of the MOSFET; an external capacitor at
the D-S pin to reduce the voltage rising and falling slope
of the MOSFET; a parasitic capacitor at inductor; and so
on to improve performance. Resonated voltage is
reflected to the auxiliary winding and can be used for
detecting zero current of boost inductor and valley
position of MOSFET voltage stress. For valley detection,
a minor delay by the resistor and capacitor is needed. A
capacitor increases the noise immunity at the ZCD pin.
If ZCD voltage is higher than 1.5V, an internal ZCD
comparator output becomes HIGH and LOW when the
ZCD goes below 1.4V. At the falling edge of comparator
output, internal logic turns on the MOSFET.
Because the MOSFET turn on depends on the ZCD
input, switching frequency may increase to higher than
several megahertz due to mis-triggering or noise on the
nearby ZCD pin. If the switching frequency is higher
than needed for critical conduction mode (CRM),
operation mode shifts to continuous conduction mode
(CCM). In CCM, unlike CRM where the boost inductor
current is reset to zero at the next switch on; inductor
current builds up at every switching cycle and can be
raised to high current that exceeds the current rating of
the power switch or diode. This can seriously damage
the power switch and result in burn down. To avoid this,
maximum switching frequency limitation is embedded. If
ZCD signal is applied again within 3.3μs after the
previous rising edge of the gate signal, this signal is
ignored internally and FL7930 waits for another ZCD
signal. This slightly degrades the power factor
performance at light load and high input voltage.
FL7930 — Single-Stage Flyback and Boundary-Mode PFC Controller for Lighting
When no ZCD signal is available, the PFC controller
cannot turn on the MOSFET, so the controller checks
every switching off time and forces MOSFET turn on
when the off time is longer than 150μs. This is called
restart timer. The restart timer triggers MOSFET turn-on
at startup and may be used at the input voltage-zero
cross period.
Because auxiliary winding voltage can swing from
negative voltage to positive voltage, the internal block in
the ZCD pin has both positive and negative voltage
clamping circuits. When the auxiliary voltage is
negative, an internal circuit clamps the negative voltage
at the ZCD pin around 0.65V by sourcing current to the
serial resistor between the ZCD pin and the auxiliary
winding. When the auxiliary voltage is higher than 6.5V,
current is sinked through a resistor from the auxiliary
winding to the ZCD pin.

7. Control: The scaled output is compared with the
internal reference voltage and sinking or sourcing
current is generated from the COMP pin by the
transconductance amplifier. The error amplifier output is
compared with the internal sawtooth waveform to give
proper turn-on time based on the controller.

For the transconductance error amplifier side, gain
changes based on differential input. When the error is
large, gain is large to force the output dip or peak to
suppress quickly. When the error is small, low gain is
used to improve power factor performance.
Figure 36. Control Circuit
Unlike a conventional voltage-mode PWM controller,
FL7930 turns on the MOSFET at the falling edge of
ZCD signal. On instance is decided by the external
signal and the turn-on time lasts until the error amplifier
output (VCOMP) and sawtooth waveform meet. When
load is heavy, output voltage decreases, scaled output
decreases, COMP voltage increases to compensate low
output, turn-on time lengthens to give more inductor
turn-on time, and increased inductor current raises the
output voltage. This is how PFC negative feedback
controller regulates output.

The maximum of VCOMP is limited to 6.5V, which dictates
the maximum turn-on time, and switching stops when
VCOMP is lower than 1.0V.

8. Soft-Start: When VCC reaches VSTART, an internal
reference voltage is increased like a stair step for 5ms.
As a result, VCOMP is also raised gradually and MOSFET
turn-on time increases smoothly. This reduces voltage
and current stress on the power switch during startup.

The roles of PFC controller are regulating output voltage
and input current shaping to increase power factor. Duty
control based on the output voltage should be fast
enough to compensate output voltage dip or overshoot.
For the power factor, however, the control loop must not
react to the fluctuating AC input voltage. These two
requirements conflict; therefore, when designing a
feedback loop, the feedback loop should be least ten
times slower than AC line frequency. That slow
response is made by C1 at compensator. R1 makes
gain boost around operation region and C2 attenuates
gain at higher frequency. Boost gain by R1 helps raise
the response time and improves phase margin.

10. THD Optimization: Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
is the factor that dictates how closely the input current
shape matches sinusoidal form. The turn-on time of the
PFC controller is almost constant over one AC line
period due to the extremely low feedback control
response. The turn-off time is determined by the current
decrease slope of the boost inductor made by the input
voltage and output voltage. Once inductor current
becomes zero, resonance between COSS and the boost
inductor makes oscillating waveforms at the drain pin
and auxiliary winding. By checking the auxiliary winding
voltage through the ZCD pin, the controller can check
the zero current of the boost inductor. At the same time,
a minor delay is inserted to determine the valley position
of drain voltage. The input and output voltage difference
is at its maximum at the zero-cross point of the AC input
voltage. The current decrease slope is steep near the
zero-cross region and more negative inductor current
flows during a drain voltage valley-detection time. Such
a negative inductor current cancels down the positive
current flows and input current becomes zero, called
“zero-cross distortion” in PFC.

9. Startup without Overshoot: Feedback control
speed of PFC is quite slow. Due to the slow response,
there is a gap between output voltage and feedback
control. That is why over-voltage protection (OVP) is
critical at the PFC controller and voltage dip caused by
fast load changes from light to heavy is diminished by a
bulk capacitor. OVP is easily triggered during startup
phase. Operation on and off by OVP at startup may
cause audible noise and can increase voltage stress at
startup, which is normally higher than in normal
operation. This operation is better when soft-start time is
very long; however, too much startup time enlarges the
output voltage building time at light load. FL7930 has
less overshoot prevention at startup. During startup, the
feedback loop is controlled by an internal proportional
gain controller. When the output voltage reaches the
rated value, it switches to an external compensator after
a transition time of 30ms. In short, an internal
proportional gain controller eliminates overshoot at
startup and an external conventional compensator takes
over successfully afterward.
To improve this, lengthened turn-on time near the zerocross region is a well-known technique, though the
method may be different from company to company and
may be proprietary. FL7930 accomplishes this by
sourcing current through the ZCD pin. Auxiliary winding
voltage becomes negative when the MOSFET turns on
and is proportional to input voltage. The negative
clamping circuit of ZCD outputs the current to maintain
the ZCD voltage at a fixed value. The sourcing current
from the ZCD is directly proportional to the input
voltage. Some portion of this current is applied to the
internal sawtooth generator, together with a fixedcurrent source. Theoretically, the fixed-current source
and the capacitor at sawtooth generator decide the
maximum turn-on time when no current is sourcing at
ZCD clamp circuit and available turn-on time gets
shorter proportional to the ZCD sourcing current.

Figure 45. Effect of THD Optimizer
By THD optimizer, turn-on time over one AC line period
is proportionally changed, depending on input voltage.
Near the zero cross, lengthened turn-on time improves
THD performance.
11. Input Voltage Absent Detection: To save power
loss caused by input voltage-sensing resistors and to
optimize THD, FL7930 omits AC input voltage detection.
Therefore, no information about AC input is available
from the internal controller. In many cases, the VCC of
PFC controller is supplied by an independent power
source, like standby power. In this scheme, some
mismatch may exist. For example, when the electric
power is suddenly interrupted during two or three AC
line periods; VCC is still alive during that time, but output
voltage drops because there is no input power source.
Consequently, the control loop tries to compensate for
the output voltage drop and VCOMP reaches its
maximum. This lasts until AC input voltage is live again.
When AC input voltage is live again, high VCOMP allows
high switching current and more stress is put on the
MOSFET and diode. To protect against this, FL7930
internally checks if the input AC voltage exists. If input

does not exist, soft-start is reset and waits until AC input
is live again. Soft-start manages the turn-on time for
smooth operation when it detects AC input is applied,
which applies less voltage and current stress on startup.

13. Gate Driver Output: FL7930 contains a single
totem-pole output stage designed for a direct drive of
the power MOSFET. The drive output is capable of up
to +500/-800mA peak current with a typical rise and fall
time of 50ns with 1nF load. The output voltage is
clamped to 13V to protect the MOSFET gate even if the
VCC voltage is higher than 13V.

ZCD path is recommended close to auxiliary
winding from boost inductor and to the ZCD pin. If
that is difficult, place a small capacitor (below 50pF)
to reduce noise.

Switching current-sense path should not share with
any other path to avoid interference. Some
additional components may be needed to reduce
the noise level applied to the CS pin.

A stabilizing capacitor for VCC is recommended as
close as possible to the VCC and ground pins. If it is
difficult, place the SMD capacitor as close to the
corresponding pins as possible.
14. PCB Layout
PFC block normally handles high switching current and
the voltage low-energy signal path can be affected by
the high-energy path. Cautious PCB layout is mandatory
for stable operation.

The gate drive path should be as short as possible.
The closed-loop that starts from the gate driver,
MOSFET gate, and MOSFET source to ground of
PFC controller is recommended as close as
possible. This is also the crossing point between
power ground and signal ground. Power ground
path from the bridge diode to the output bulk
capacitor should be short and wide. The sharing
position between power ground and signal ground
should be only at one position to avoid ground loop
noise. Signal path of PFC controller should be short
and wide for external components to contact.

PFC output voltage sensing resistor is normally
high to reduce current consumption. This path can
be affected by external noise. To reduce noise
possibility at the INV pin, a shorter path for output
sensing is recommended. If a shorter path is not
possible, place some dividing resistors between
PFC output and the INV pin — closer to the INV pin
is better. Relative high voltage close to the INV pin
can be helpful.

12. Current Sense: The MOSFET current is sensed
using an external sensing resistor for the over-current
protection. If the CS pin voltage is higher than 0.8V, the
over-current protection comparator generates a
protection signal. An internal RC filter of 40kΩ and 8pF
is included to filter switching noise.
