ML4822*
ZVS Average Current PFC Controller
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The ML4822 is a PFC controller designed specifically for
high power applications. The controller contains all of the
functions necessary to implement an average current
boost PFC converter, along with a Zero Voltage Switch
(ZVS) controller to reduce diode recovery and MOSFET
turn-on losses.
■
The average current boost PFC circuit provides high
power factor (>98%) and low Total Harmonic Distortion
(THD). Built-in safety features include undervoltage
lockout, overvoltage protection, peak current limiting, and
input voltage brownout protection.
The ZVS control section drives an external ZVS MOSFET
which, combined with a diode and inductor, soft switches
the boost regulator. This technique reduces diode reverse
recovery and MOSFET switching losses to reduce EMI and
maximize efficiency.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
capacitance of D1 and Q1 (or optional ZVS capacitor
CZVS). At t3, the voltage across Q1 is sufficiently low that
the controller turns Q2 off and Q1 on. Q1 then behaves
as an ordinary PFC switch, storing energy in the boost
inductor L1. The energy stored in L2 is completely
discharged into the boost capacitor via D2 during the Q1
off-time and the value of L2 must be selected for
discontinuous-mode operation.
Switching losses of wide input voltage range PFC boost
converters increase dramatically as power levels increase
above 200 watts. The use of zero-voltage switching (ZVS)
techniques improves the efficiency of high power PFCs by
significantly reducing the turn-on losses of the boost
MOSFET. ZVS is accomplished by using a second, smaller
MOSFET, together with a storage element (inductor) to
convert the turn-on losses of the boost MOSFET into
useful output power.
COMPONENT SELECTION
Q1 Turn-Off
The basic function of the ML4822 is to provide a power
factor corrected, regulated DC bus voltage using
continuous, average current-mode control. Like Micro
Linear’s family of PFC/PWM controllers, the ML4822
employs leading-edge pulse width modulation to reduce
system noise and permit frequency synchronization to a
trailing edge PWM stage for the highest possible DC bus
voltage bandwidth. For minimization of switching losses,
circuitry has been incorporated to control the switching of
the ZVS FET.
Because the ML4822 uses leading edge modulation, the
PFC MOSFET (Q1) is always turned off at the end of each
oscillator ramp cycle. For proper operation, the internal
ZVS flip-flop must be reset every cycle during the
oscillator discharge time. This is done by automatically
resetting the ZVS comparator a short time after the drain
voltage of the main Q has reached zero (refer to Figure 1
sense circuit). This sense circuit terminates the ZVS on
time by sensing the main Q drain voltage reaching zero. It
is then reset by way of a resistor pull-up to VCC (R6). The
advantage of this circuit is that the ZVS comparator is not
reset at the main Q turn off which occurs at the end of the
clock cycle. This avoids the potential for improper reset of
the internal ZVS flip-flop.
THEORY OF OPERATION
Figure 1 shows a simplified schematic of the output and
control sections of a high power PFC circuit. Figure 2
shows the relationship of various waveforms in the circuit.
Q1 functions as the main switching FET and Q2 provides
the ZVS action. During each cycle, Q2 turns on before
Q1, diverting the current in L1 away from D1 into L2. The
current in L2 increases linearly until at t2 it equals the
current through L1. When these currents are equal, L1
ceases discharging current and is now charged through L2
and Q2. At time t 2, the drain voltage of Q1 begins to fall.
The shape of the voltage waveform is sinusoidal due to
the interaction of L2 and the combined parasitic
Another concern is the proper operation of the ZVS
comparator during discontinuous mode operation (DCM),
which will occur at the cusps of the rectified AC
waveform and at light loads. Due to the nature of the
voltage seen at the drain of the main boost Q during DCM
operation, the ZVS comparator can be fooled into forcing
the ZVS Q on for the entire period. By adding a circuit
which limits the maximum on time of the ZVS Q, this
problem can be avoided. Q3 in Figure 1 provides this
function.

Q1 Turn-On
The turn-on event consists of the time it takes for the
current through L2 to ramp to the L1 current plus the
resonant event of L2 and the ZVS capacitor. The total
event should occur in a minimum of 350–450ns, but can
be longer at the risk of increasing the total harmonic
distortion. Setting these times equal should minimize
conducted and radiated emissions.
