R2A20111SP/DD Power Factor Correction Controller IC REJ03F0231-0100 Rev.1.00 Mar 28, 2007 Description The R2A20111 is a power-factor correction (PFC) controller IC. This IC adopts continuous conduction mode as PFC operation. Various functions such as constant power limit, overvoltage detection, overcurrent detection, soft start, feedback-loop disconnection detection, and holding function of PFC operation through momentary outage (PFC hold function) are incorporated in a single chip. These functions reduce external circuitry. The constant power limit function allows to eliminate a significant amount of coil noise which is generated due to overcurrent detection operation in case of conventional overload. The PFC hold function enables quick recovery by continuing PFC operation after momentary outage. The hold time can be adjusted by an external capacitance. Overcurrent detection pin is separately provided. Latch mode shutdown function is incorporated. A soft-start control pin provides for the easy adjustment of soft-start operation, and can be used to prevent overshooting of the output voltage.

GND Pin: The ground terminal. DELAY Pin: This pin has two functions; (1) setting the PFC function hold time for cases of momentary outage and (2) IC shutdown. Current that flows through the DELAY pin is in inverse proportion to the RT pin resistance. Source current is 4.7/RT [A] and sink current is 42.3/RT [A]. Normal operation is in the state that sink current flows. REJ03F0231-0100 Rev.1.00 Mar 28, 2007 Page 3 of 40 R2A20111SP/DD (1) Setting the PFC function hold time for momentary outage When the PFC-ON pin is driven below 0.79 V (typ.) due to a momentary outage, the delay pin functions as source current. PFC operation continues until the capacitor is charged to 1.2 V (typ.). After the voltage on the delay pin reaches 1.2 V (typ.), the pin functions as sink current, and PFC operation terminates. The PFC function hold time can be set by the value of the external capacitor. (2) Shutdown When this pin is pulled up to 4 V (typ.) or higher, the IC enters the shutdown state. Accordingly, the VREF signal becomes low and the operating current becomes several hundred μA. The IC does not resume operation until Vcc falls to 4 V (max.) or below. CGND Pin: This pin is the non-inverting input to the current amplifier. CAI Pin: This pin is the inverting input to the current amplifier and functions as source current for PFC control. AC current is controlled to be proportional to the source current and the power factor is corrected. VREF Pin: Temperature-compensated voltage with an accuracy of 5 V ± 3% is output from this pin. The pin should supply no more than 5 mA (max.) source current. This pin has no sink capabilities. CAO Pin: This pin is the current amplifier output, and is connected to the phase-compensation circuit of the current amplifier. The result of comparison of the voltage on this pin and the CT pin produces the pulse output from the OUT pin. The pulse is limited when the voltage on the CAO pin rises. CLIMIT Pin: This pin is for detecting overcurrent. When the voltage on this pin drops to 1.3 V (typ.) or below, OUT pin is stopped. RT Pin: This pin is for frequency adjustment of the oscillator and connected to GND via resistor. The IC operating frequency is determined by this resistance value and the CT pin capacitance value. Additionally, this resistance value determines the maximum current on the CAI pin and the current on the DELAY pin. CT Pin: This pin is for frequency adjustment of the oscillator and connected to GND via capacitor. The IC operating frequency is determined by this capacitance value and the resistance value of the RT pin. PFC-ON Pin: This pin is applied smoothing voltage of rectified AC voltage and detects the input AC voltage level. When 0.82 V (typ.) or more is applied to this pin, PFC operation starts. When the voltage is 0.79 V (typ.) or lower, the PFC operation stops after the PFC operation hold time (refer to the description of DELAY pin operation). IAC Pin: This pin is for detecting waveform of the input AC voltage. FB Pin: This pin is the input to the voltage amplifier. This pin is applied to voltage divided PFC output with resistors. The feedback loop is intended to keep 2.5 V (typ.). When output voltage rises up and the voltage of this pin is higher than 2.688 V (typ.) or more, the OUT pin is stopped. Moreover, when this voltage of this pin is 0.52 V (typ.) or lower, the OUT pin is also stopped. These functions detect overvoltage, low voltage, and feedback-loop disconnection. REJ03F0231-0100 Rev.1.00 Mar 28, 2007 Page 4 of 40 R2A20111SP/DD EO Pin: This pin is the output of the voltage amplifier. This pin is connected to the phase-compensation circuit of the voltage amplifier. SS Pin: This pin is connected to GND or VREF via a capacitor. This pin is pulled up to the voltage on the VREF pin until PFC operation starts. When the voltage on the PFC-ON pin has reached 0.82 V (typ.), PFC operation starts and this pin flows 25 μA source current. Operation of the CAO pin is affected by that of the SS pin, the pulse width of the OUT pin is limited, and this prevents overshooting when start up. VCC Pin: This pin is for the IC power supply. The IC starts up at 10.5 V (typ.), and stops at 9 V (typ.).

Operating Frequency The R2A20111 operating frequency fosc is determined by adjusting the timing resistor Rt (the RT pin, pin 9) and the timing capacitance Ct (the CT pin, pin 10). The operating frequency is approximated by the following expression: fosc = 1.755 × 106 (kHz) Rt (kΩ) × Ct (pF) Make sure to use a 7 kΩ or more resistance because of the maximum rating of the RT-pin. Meanwhile, as the resistance increases, the IC will become more susceptible to noise, etc. The resistance, therefore, should be up to about 100 kΩ. Also, use a 100 pF or more for the timing capacitance to reduce effects from parasitic capacitance and noise. When the IC is operated at high frequencies, the expression becomes less accurate due to the IC internal delay time, etc. Please confirm operation the value with the actually mounted IC. The maximum operating frequency is 400 kHz. As a reference, the operating frequency data when the timing resistor and the timing capacitance are changed is shown in the figure below. Operating Frequency (kHz) 1000 Timing capacitance Ct 100 470pF 1000pF 2200pF 10 4700pF 1 1 10 100 Timing Resistance (kΩ) Figure 2 Operating Frequency Characteristics REJ03F0231-0100 Rev.1.00 Mar 28, 2007 Page 15 of 40 R2A20111SP/DD 3. Soft Start This function gradually increases the pulse width of the OUT pin from a 0% duty cycle at the startup. By preventing a sudden increase of the pulse width, potential problems such as transient stress on the external parts, overshoot of the PFC output voltage (B+ voltage), or coil noise generated due to overcurrent will be prevented. Although the duty cycle is controlled by the CAO signal, operation of the CAO pin is affected by the voltage on the SS pin during the soft start. When the voltage on the CAO pin reaches the required voltage level, the soft start ends and operation transfers to the normal control. The soft-start time can be set by an external capacity. 0.82V PFC-ON CAO SS SS CAO CT OUT PFC output voltage CT 10 − + CAO 1 7 VREF CAI 5 To Power MOS FET gate GATE DRIVER +/−1.0A(PEAK) OUT VREF CAMP − + Full-wave rectified AC CGND 4 VREF VREF 0.47μ 720k PFC-ON SS − + 1μ 14k 15 11 0.82V 0.79V Figure 3 Soft-Start Operation Waveform REJ03F0231-0100 Rev.1.00 Mar 28, 2007 Page 16 of 40 25μA R2A20111SP/DD 4. PFC-ON Pin Function The PFC-ON pin is applied smoothing voltage of rectified AC voltage. Accordingly, the AC voltage state is detected and each function depending on the power-supply state is operated. Details of their operation are given below.

Power-Supply Startup Operation When the AC voltage is applied, the voltage on the PFC-ON pin rises and the PFC output voltage is charged to about √2 × AC voltage. After the voltage on the PFC-ON pin exceeds 0.82 V, the voltage of the SS pin starts to be discharged and PFC operation starts. Once the PFC operation starts, the PFC output voltage is boosted to the prescribed voltage.

Operation on a Momentary Outage (PFC operation hold on momentary outage: PFC hold function) (1) When the Momentary Outage is Short During a momentary outage, the voltage on the PFC-ON pin is discharged. When it reaches 0.79 V, charging of the capacitor on the DELAY pin starts. When AC-voltage input is resumed, and the voltage on the DELAY pin doesn’t reach 1.2 V before the voltage on the PFC-ON pin rises above 0.82 V, The PFC output voltage resumes quickly since the soft-start function is not operated. When the voltage on the PFC-ON pin falls below 0.6 V during a momentary outage, the source current of the PFCON pin starts to increase. As the voltage on the PFC-ON pin becomes low, the amount of current increases. Since the external resistor is connected to GND, the voltage on the PFC-ON pin is balanced between the source current and the voltage determined by the resistance. This function prevents increase of AC current right after AC-voltage input is resumed.

The current on the PFC-ON pin switches from source current to sink current and the voltage on the PFC-ON pin falls.

FB Pin Function The FB pin is a feedback input for the PFC output voltage. This pin is applied to voltage divided PFC output with resistors. The PFC output voltage is controlled so that the voltage on FB becomes 2.5 V. The FB pin function provides protection against abnormal PFC output voltages. The protective functions include overvoltage detection and lowvoltage detection. These functions do not operate when VREF voltage is lower than 4 V as UVL operation and shutdown state.

IC Shutdown Function When the DELAY pin is pulled up to 4 V, the IC shutdown function operates. During shutdown, the IC enters the standby state. To reset the circuit from the shutdown state, the voltage on VCC must be lowered to 4 V or less. After this reset, when the VCC pin voltage reaches 10.5 V, the IC is restarted.

Power Limit Function 1-1. Limited Power Value When the load exceeds the rated load, the power is limited by the set power value and the IC enters the constant power control state. This indicates that the power is limited by nearly-constant power independent of the input AC voltage, compared to the conventional overcurrent detection circuit. The limited power value is determined by the values of external resistors and is expressed by the following equation: Plimit = 1.74 • Rmo • (Rpfc1 + Rpfc2)2 Rcs • Rac • Rpfc22 This is the equation for reference only. Be sure to sufficiently confirm the operation by using the actual circuit board. The actual value may differ from the equation by conditions, but the trend indicated by the equation remains the same (For instance, as the amount of Rmo becomes large, the limited power value increases). Therefore, use the equation above for reference to fine-tune the resistance values. 1-2. Trend of Limited Power Value for Input AC Voltage Although the limited power value is nearly constant with respect to the input AC voltage, it may be deviated to a certain degree from linearity by conditions. When it has a negative slant with respect to the input AC voltage, add a resistor between the CAI pin and the VREF pin so that the deviation from linearity can be corrected to some degree. 1-3. Limit on Constant Power Function PFC Output Voltage Constant power curve √2Vac PFC Output Current PFC Output Power After the PFC power supply enters the constant power operation state and load increases further, the PFC output voltage reaches about √2 × input AC voltage. At this point the PFC output voltage is unable to fall below the point in principle of the boost converter. If the load increases further at this point, current increases on the peak part of input current, then the power starts increasing again. This current cannot be controlled by the IC. Rise in power for the reason that the AC voltage is high and the output voltage is unable to fall below √2 Vac. PFC Output Current Figure 14 Outline of Constant Power Limit Function 1-4. Effects on Power Limit Characteristics of Resistor Rcao1 of CAO Pin As the external resistance Rcao1 of the CAO pin is small, the limited power value decreases. This decrease is caused by rise of the voltage on the EO pin in principle as Rcao1 becomes small. When the load becomes heavy and the voltage on the EO pin is clamped at the upper limit, the IC is operated in the power limit operation mode. Therefore, since the voltage on EO pin increases, the power limit value decreases relatively. REJ03F0231-0100 Rev.1.00 Mar 28, 2007 Page 30 of 40 R2A20111SP/DD 1-5. Relations between RT Resistor and Power Limit The maximum current on the CAI pin is expressed in inverse proportion to the resistance of the RT pin as 4.7/RT. Imo Since Imo is proportional to the input AC current, when the value of AC voltage drops, Imo rises. Imo is, however, limited by the above maximum current value. If the value of Imo (max.) is set higher than the required current value with the minimum input AC voltage, the power limit function is operated in all range of input AC voltage without any difficulty. If the value of Imo (max.) is smaller than the required current, the rated power can not load (see figure 15). RT increases Limit power Power Rated power Area where the rated power cannot load RT increases Range of input AC voltage Figure 15 RT and Power Limit In case of sudden turn from low AC voltage to high AC voltage as in return from a momentary outage or sag, the voltage on the PFC-ON pin changes after the AC voltage for its smoothing capacitance. Therefore, the voltage on the PFC-ON pin remains low while the AC voltage is high. In such a state, the current is controlled to increase transiently (see figure 16). The overcurrent detection circuit is operated due to this increase in current, and noise of an inductor may be generated. In this case, set the limitation on current by adjusting the RT pin resistance to prevent the operation of overcurrent detection circuit. Full-wave rectified AC PFC-ON pin AC current Figure 16 Increase in Current due to AC Voltage Sag REJ03F0231-0100 Rev.1.00 Mar 28, 2007 Page 31 of 40 R2A20111SP/DD 1-6. Tolerance of Limited Power Values The tolerance of the limited power values depend on the tolerance of the CAI pin current. Since overcurrent detection value is constant, set the RT resistance as illustrated in figure 17, so that the resistance does not exceed the overcurrent detection level. Seen in figure 17, the key to select a switching device is not the tolerance in the limited power value but in the current value limited by RT. The tolerance of this current ranges from – 10% to + 10%. Power Limited power value in case of only the overcurrent protection Limited power Isum (peak) Rated power Overcurrent detection level Input AC voltage Current limited by RT Figure 17 Overcurrent Detection Level and Power Limitation REJ03F0231-0100 Rev.1.00 Mar 28, 2007 Page 32 of 40 R2A20111SP/DD 2. Operation of PFC On/Off Function PFC function of the R2A20111 can be turned on and off externally using the following methods. (1) Pull down the voltage on the PFC-ON pin to the GND level. (2) Pull up the voltage on the SS pin to the VREF voltage level. (3) Pull down the voltage on the CLIMIT pin to 1.3 V or lower. (4) Pull up the voltage on the DELAY pin to 4 V or more. Since the voltage on the OUT pin is fixed to the GND level in each case, the boost operation is halted. The sections from 2-1 to 2-4 describe phenomena which may occur for functional reasons of the IC. Make sure to sufficiently confirm each operation using the actual the power-supply board. When the current flows transiently and noise of an inductor is generated, refer to section 1-5 “Relations between RT Resistor and Power Limit”. 2-1. On/Off Operation by Using the PFC-ON Pin When the voltage on the PFC-ON pin drops, the IC controls to increase the AC current. Therefore, the AC current is controlled to increase while the voltage on the PFC-ON pin is pulled down. Furthermore, the PFC-ON pin has the PFC hold function. Since the PFC operation is not halted during the hold periods, the control current increases during this period (see figure 18). Also, when the PFC function is turned off in the light load, the output voltage may rise due to this increase current.

On/Off Operation by Using the SS Pin When the voltage on the SS pin is pulled up to the VREF voltage level, the voltage level of the CAO pin is also pulled up together with the SS pin. Then, the OUT pin is stopped. After the voltage level of the SS pin is pulled up, a few pulses on the OUT pin may be generated by capacitance of the phase-compensation circuit of the CAO pin (see figure 19). The circuit to directly pulls up the CAO pin is not recommended since the circuit may affect the phase-compensation circuit of the current amplifier. SS pin voltage CAO pin voltage OUT pin voltage Figure 19 On/Off Operation by Pulling up SS Pin 2-3. On/Off Operation by using the CLIMIT Pin When the voltage on the CLIMIT pin falls to 1.3 V or lower, the pulses on the OUT pin stop by the overcurrent detection circuit. When the voltage of the CLIMIT pin is released, the pulses on the OUT pin is resumed without soft start. 2-4. On/Off Operation by Using the DELAY Pin When the voltage on the DELAY pin is pulled up to 4 V or more, the IC enters the shutdown state and the pulses on the OUT pin is stopped. Since the shutdown function is operated in latch mode, the IC is not resumed even when the voltage level of the DELAY pin is pulled down. The IC resumes only when lower the voltage on the VCC pin to 4 V or lower once and raise the voltage on the VCC pin higher than the UVL voltage. Figure 20 illustrates an example of detection circuit. VREF PFC output voltage 1 DELAY pin 2 5 M51958BL 3 4 GND Figure 20 Example of Shutdown Circuit REJ03F0231-0100 Rev.1.00 Mar 28, 2007 Page 34 of 40 R2A20111SP/DD 3. Overcurrent Detection Circuit When the RC filter is added the CLIMIT pin to prevent noise errors (see figure 21), the cut-off frequency shifts on the lower frequency side than the added RC filter because of the Rclimit 1 and Rclimit 2. This causes possibility that exactly current can not detect. VREF Rclimit1 R CLIMIT Rcs Rclimit2 C Figure 21 Example of CLIMIT Pin Filter Since the overcurrent is detected by coil current, the detected current value is not the same as the peak value of the AC input current (see figure 22). Because of this difference, the overcurrent detection circuit is operated before the power reaches the constant power limit, and noise of an inductor may occur. In such a case, raise the overcurrent detection level. ΔI Overcurrent detection level AC input current peak Difference in current is approximated by the following equation: √2 × Vac × D × fosc ΔI = 2×L Vac: input AC voltage L: Step-up coil inductance D: IC OUT pin ON Duty fosc: IC operating frequency Coil current Figure 22 AC Input Current and Coil Current REJ03F0231-0100 Rev.1.00 Mar 28, 2007 Page 35 of 40 R2A20111SP/DD 4. PFC Hold Function The PFC hold time can be adjusted by changing the value of the capacitor connected to the DELAY pin. The capacitance is charged with the source current from the IC and the PFC hold function is operated until the voltage on the DELAY pin reaches 1.2 V. Although the PFC-ON pin detects an occurrence of the momentary outage, the detection delay time occurs because a smoothing capacitor is connected to the PFC-ON pin. This delay time depends on the value of a resistor and the value of a smoothing capacitor which are connected to the PFC-ON pin. Therefore, the hold time is dependent on the following: (a) Value of the capacitor connected to the DELAY pin (b) Current value of the DELAY pin (c) Values of the resistor and the capacitor connected to the PFC-ON pin Actual PFC hold time thold is expressed in the following equation (see figure 23): thold = t1 + t2 − t3 t1 = −Rpfc2 • Cpfc • In 1.2V t2 + t3 = CDELAY • t3 = −Cpfc • Isrc-delay = VPFC-ON = 0.79V VPFC-ON Isrc-delay 0.82V − Rpfc1 • Rpfc2 • In Rpfc1 + Rpfc2 0.4V − 2 • √2 • VAC π 2 • √2 • VAC π 4.7V RT 2 • √2 • VAC π • Rpfc2 Rpfc1 + Rpfc2 Full-wave rectified AC PFC-ON pin 0.82V 0.79V 0.4V 1.2V DELAY pin t2 t1 t3 thold Figure 23 PFC Hold Time REJ03F0231-0100 Rev.1.00 Mar 28, 2007 Page 36 of 40 R2A20111SP/DD 5. Precautions on Pins 5-1. OUT Pin Undershoot may occur on the PWM pulse of the OUT pin because of a parasitic inductance of wiring, etc. This undershoot (negative electric potential) may cause errors of the IC. In such a case, use a Schottky barrier diode, etc. to suppress the undershoot. 5-2. DELAY Pin When the voltage on the DELAY pin reaches 4 V or more, the shutdown function is operated and the IC enters the shutdown state. Since the shutdown state is in latch mode, the IC is not resumed unless the voltage on the VCC pin is, once, lowered to 4 V or below. When the PFC hold function is not used, lower the DELAY pin capacitance as possible. However, connect a capacitor with a few thousands pF or more capacitance to the DELAY pin so that the shutdown function will not be operated due to noise, etc. and note wiring pattern not to catch the noise. 5-3. CAI Pin and CLIMIT Pin These pins are connected to a current detection resistor via a resistor. Provide a rush-current protection circuit, not to exceed the maximum rating because of the rush current at the startup of power supply. 5-4. VREF Pin The voltage on the VREF pin is a reference voltage in the IC. For stabilizing the voltage on the VREF pin, be sure to connect a capacitor between the VREF pin and GND. However, in capacitance of a capacitor to be connected, overshoot may occur at the rising of the VREF pin (see figure 24). Pay special attention to this point when the voltage on the VREF pin is used as the power supply for an external circuit and a reference voltage. Furthermore, note that the source current of the VREF pin will not exceed the maximum rating.

Pattern Layout In designing the pattern layout, pay as much attention as is possible to the following points. (1) Place the IC pins (particularly, CGND, CAI, PFC-ON, IAC, FB) and their wiring as far from high-voltage switching lines (particularly the drain voltage for the power MOSFET) as possible and in general design the wiring to minimize switching noise. (2) Wiring between CGND and Rcs via Rmo and wiring between CAI and RCS via Rmo connect nearly and separately to Rcs. (3) It is probable that stability operation is achieved by inputting signals via low pass filter to CLIMIT, PFC-ON, IAC, FB terminal. (4) Place a resistors and capacitors connect VREF , RT, CAO, CT, VCC as close to the IC as possible, and keep the wiring short. (5) Pattern layout priority (for reference) 1. Place the IC as far from high voltage switching lines as possible. 2. The pattern of the GND should be as wide as possible. 3. Place the stabilizing capacitor for VREF as close to the IC as possible. 4. Place the stabilizing capacitor for VCC as close to the IC s possible. 5. Place the resistors and capacitors (Rcao1, Rcao2, Ccao1, Ccao2) for CAO as close to the IC as possible. 6. Wiring between CGND and Rcs via Rmo and Wiring between CAI and Rcs via Rmo connect nearly and separately to Rcs. 7. Place the timing resistor for RT as close to the IC as possible. 8. Place the timing capacitor for CT as close to the IC as possible. 9. Place the resistors and capacitors (Reo1, Reo2, Ceo1, Ceo2) for EO as close to the IC as possible. 10. Place the resistors and capacitors (Rpfc1, Rpfc2, Cpfc) for PFC-ON as close to the IC as possible. 11. Place the resistors (Rfb1, Rfb2) for FB as close to the IC as possible. 12. Place the resistors (Rac) for IAC as close to the IC as possible. 13. Place the resistors (Rclimit1, Rclimit2) for CLIMIT as close to the IC as possible. 14.
