APPLICATION NOTE
Introduction
The NCP1608 is a voltage mode power factor correction
(PFC) controller designed to implement converters to
comply with line current harmonic regulations. The device
operates in critical conduction mode (CrM) for optimal
performance in applications up to 350 W. Its voltage mode
scheme enables it to obtain near unity power factor (PF)
without the need for a line-sensing network. The output
voltage is accurately controlled with an integrated high
precision transconductance error amplifier. The controller
also implements a comprehensive set of safety features that
simplify system design.
This application note describes the design and
implementation of a 400 V, 100 W, CrM boost PFC
converter using the NCP1608. The converter exhibits high
PF, low standby power dissipation, high active mode
efficiency, and a variety of protection features.
Most electronic ballasts and switch-mode power supplies
(SMPS) use a diode bridge rectifier and a bulk storage
capacitor to produce a dc voltage from the utility ac line.
This causes a non-sinusoidal current consumption and
increases the stress on the power delivery infrastructure.
Government regulations and utility requirements mandate
control over line current harmonic content. Active PFC
circuits are the most popular method to comply with these
harmonic content requirements. System solutions consist of
connecting a PFC pre-converter between the rectifier bridge
and the bulk capacitor (Figure 1). The boost converter is the
most popular topology for active PF correction. It produces
a constant output voltage and consumes a sinusoidal input
current from the line.

with the instantaneous line input voltage (Vin) and the output
load. The operation and waveforms of a CrM PFC boost
converter are illustrated in Figure 2. For detailed
information on the operation of a CrM boost converter for
PFC applications, please refer to AND8123/D.
For medium power (< 350 W) applications, CrM is the
preferred control method. CrM operates at the boundary
between discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) and
continuous conduction mode (CCM). In CrM, the drive on
time begins when the inductor current reaches zero.
CrM combines the reduced peak current of CCM
operation with the zero current switching of DCM

The VCC pin is the supply pin of the controller. When VCC
is less than the turn on voltage (VCC(on)), the current
consumption of the device is less than 35 mA. This results in
fast startup times and reduced standby power losses.
internal comparator compares the voltage developed across
Rsense (VCS) to an internal reference (VILIM). The driver
turns off when VCS reaches VILIM. The ZCD pin senses the
demagnetization of the boost inductor to turn on the drive.
The drive on time begins after the ZCD pin voltage (VZCD)
exceeds VZCD(ARM) and then decreases to less than
VZCD(TRIG). A resistor in series with the ZCD winding
limits the ZCD pin current.
The NCP1608 features a powerful output driver on the
DRV pin. The driver is capable of switching the gates of
large MOSFETs efficiently because of its low source and
sink impedances. The driver includes active and passive
pull-down circuits to prevent the output from floating high
when the NCP1608 is disabled.
Design Procedure
The design of a CrM boost PFC converter is discussed in
many ON Semiconductor application notes. Table 1 lists
some examples.
This application note describes the design procedure for
a 400 V, 100 W converter using the features of the
NCP1608. A dedicated NCP1608 design tool that enables
users to determine component values quickly is available at

A turns ratio of 10 is selected for this design. RZCD is

The value of RZCD and the parasitic capacitance of the
ZCD pin determine when the ZCD winding signal is
detected and the drive turn on begins. A large RZCD value
creates a long delay before detecting the ZCD event. In this
case, the controller operates in DCM and the PF is reduced.
If the RZCD value is too small, the drive turns on when the
DESIGN STEP 4: Determine the ZCD Turns Ratio
To activate the ZCD detector of the NCP1608, the ZCD
turns ratio is sized such that at least VZCD(ARM) (1.55 V
maximum) is applied to the ZCD pin during all operating
conditions (see Figure 4). The boost winding to ZCD

drain voltage is high and efficiency is reduced. A popular
strategy for selecting RZCD is to use the RZCD value that
achieves minimum drain voltage turn on. This value is found
experimentally.
During the delay caused by RZCD and the ZCD pin
capacitance, the equivalent drain capacitance (CEQ(drain))
discharges through the path shown in Figure 5.

Rout2 is dependent on Vout, Rout1, and the internal
feedback resistor (RFB, shown in the NCP1608 specification
table). Rout2 is calculated using Equation 8:
CEQ(drain) is the combined parasitic capacitances of the
MOSFET, the diode, and the inductor. Cin is charged by the
energy discharged by CEQ(drain). The charging of Cin reverse
biases the bridge rectifier and causes the input current (Iin)
to decrease to zero. The zero input current causes THD to
increase. To reduce THD, the ratio (tz / TSW) is minimized,
where tZ is the period from when IL = 0 A to when the drive
turns on. The ratio (tz / TSW) is inversely proportional to the
square root of L.

DESIGN STEP 5: Set the FB, OVP, and UVP Levels
Rout1 and Rout2 form a resistor divider that scales down
Vout before it is applied to the FB pin. The error amplifier
adjusts the on time of the drive to maintain the FB pin
voltage equal to the error amplifier reference voltage
(VREF). The divider network bias current (Ibias(out))
selection is the first step in the calculation. The divider
network bias current is selected to optimize the tradeoff of
noise immunity and power dissipation. Rout1 is calculated
using the optimized bias current and output voltage using

The low bandwidth of the PFC stage causes overshoots
during transient loads or during startup. The NCP1608
includes an integrated OVP circuit to prevent the output
from exceeding a safe voltage. The OVP circuit compares
VFB to the internal overvoltage detect threshold voltage to
determine if an OVP fault occurs. The OVP detection
voltage is calculated using Equation 10:

output voltage of 406.25 V, which is less than the peak
output OVP detection voltage (421 V).
The NCP1608 includes undervoltage protection (UVP).
During startup, Cbulk charges to the peak of the ac line
voltage. If Cbulk does not charge to a minimum voltage, the

DESIGN STEP 6: Size the Power Components
The power components are sized such that there is
sufficient margin to sustain the currents and voltages applied
to them. At minimum line input voltage and maximum
output power the inductor peak current is at the maximum,
which causes the greatest stress to the power components.
The components are referenced in Figure 3.

The UVP feature protects against open loop conditions in
the feedback loop. If the FB pin is inadvertently floating
(perhaps due to a bad solder joint), the coupling within the
system may cause VFB to be within the regulation range
(i.e. VUVP < VFB < VREF). The controller responds by
delivering maximum power. The output voltage increases
and over stresses the components. The NCP1608 includes a
feature to protect the system if FB is floating. The internal
pull-down resistor (RFB) ensures that VFB is below the UVP
threshold if the FB pin is floating.
If the FB pin floats during operation, VFB begins
decreasing from VREF. The rate of decrease depends on RFB
and the FB pin parasitic capacitance. As VFB decreases,
VControl increases, which causes the on time to increase until
VFB < VUVP. When VFB < VUVP, the UVP fault is detected
and the controller is disabled. The sequence is depicted in
Figure 6.

The diode maximum voltage is equal to VOVP (421 V)
plus the overshoot caused by parasitic contributions. For this
demonstration board, the maximum voltage is 450 V.
A 600 V diode provides a 25% derating factor.
The MUR460 (4 A/600 V) diode is selected for this design.
The value of Cbulk is calculated in Step 5 to ensure a ripple
voltage that is sufficiently low to not trigger OVP. The value
of Cbulk may need to be increased so that the rms current
does not exceed the ratings of Cbulk.
The voltage rating of Cbulk is required to be greater than
Vout(OVP). Since Vout(OVP) is 421 V, Cbulk is selected to have
a voltage rating of 450 V.

DESIGN STEP 7: Supply VCC Voltage
The typical method to charge the VCC capacitor (CVcc) to
VCC(on) is to connect a resistor between Vin and VCC. The
low startup current consumption of the NCP1608 enables
most of the resistor current to charge CVcc during startup.
The low startup current consumption enables faster startup
times and reduces standby power dissipation. The startup
time (tstartup) is approximated with Equation 20:

The MOSFET maximum voltage is equal to VOVP

voltage is 450 V. A 560 V MOSFET provides a 20%
derating factor. The SPP12N50C3 (11.6 A/560 V) MOSFET

current rating is 7 A (for TC = 100°C as specified in the
manufacturer’s datasheet) and the inductor saturation
current is 4.7 A, the maximum peak inductor current of 4 A
is sufficiently low.

Once VCC reaches VCC(on), the internal references and
logic of the NCP1608 turn on. The NCP1608 includes an
undervoltage lockout (UVLO) feature that ensures that the
NCP1068 remains enabled unless VCC decreases to less than
VCC(off). This hysteresis ensures sufficient time for another
supply to power VCC.
The ZCD winding is a possible solution, but the voltage
induced on the winding may be less than the required
voltage. An alternative is to implement a charge pump to
supply VCC. A schematic is illustrated in Figure 7.

C3 stores the energy for the charge pump. R1 limits the
current by reducing the rate of voltage change. DAUX supplies
current to C3 when its cathode is negative. When its cathode

For off-line ac-dc applications that require PFC, a 2-stage
approach is typically used. The first stage is the CrM boost
PFC. This supplies the 2nd stage, which is traditionally an
isolated flyback or forward converter. This solution is
cost-effective and exhibits excellent performance. During
low output power conditions the PFC stage is not required
and reduces efficiency. Advanced controllers, such as the
NCP1230 and NCP1381 detect the low output power
condition and shut down the PFC stage by removing
PFC(VCC) (Figure 8).

The sudden application of the ac line voltage to the PFC
pre-converter causes an inrush current and a resonant
voltage overshoot that is several times the normal value.
Resizing the power components to handle inrush current and
a resonant voltage overshoot is cost prohibitive.

(Figure 9). The resistance of the NTC decreases from a few
ohms to a few milliohms as the NTC is heated by the I2R
power dissipation. However, an NTC resistor may not be
sufficient to protect the inductor and Cbulk from inrush
current during a brief interruption of the ac line voltage, such
as during ac line dropout and recovery.
2. Startup Bypass Rectifier
A rectifier is connected from Vin to Vout (Figure 10). This
bypasses the inductor and diverts the startup current directly
to Cbulk. Cbulk is charged to the peak ac line voltage without
resonant overshoot and without excessive inductor current.
After startup, Dbypass is reverse biased and does not interfere
with the boost converter.

DESIGN STEP 9: Develop the Compensation Network
C COMP1 +
The pre-converter is compensated to ensure stability over
the input voltage and output power range. To compensate the
loop, a compensation network is connected between the
Control and ground pins. To ensure high PF, the bandwidth
of the loop is set below 20 Hz. A type 2 compensation
network is selected for this design to increase the phase
margin. The type 2 compensation network is shown in
Figure 11.

1. Improve the THD/PF at Maximum Output Power by
Increasing the On Time at the Zero Crossing:
There is a tradeoff of transient response for PF and THD.
The low bandwidth of the feedback loop reduces the Control
pin ripple voltage. The reduction of the Control pin ripple
voltage increases PF and reduces THD, but increases the
magnitude of overshoots and undershoots.
One disadvantage of constant on time CrM control is that
at the zero crossing of the ac line, the instantaneous input
voltage is not large enough to store sufficient energy in the
inductor during the constant on time. Minimal energy is
processed and “zero crossing distortion” is produced as
shown in Figure 13.
Additional THD Reduction
The constant on time architecture of the NCP1608
provides flexibility in optimizing each design.
The following design guidelines provide methods to
further improve PF and THD.
Vin (100V/div)
Iin (500mA/div)
Vout (10V/div, ac coupled)
Zero
Crossing
Distortion
Figure 13. Full Load Input Current (Vin = 230 Vac 50 Hz, Iout = 250 mA)
reduces the instantaneous input voltage at which the
distortion begins.
This method is implemented by connecting a resistor from
Vin to Ct as shown in Figure 14. The resistor current (ICTUP)
is proportional to the instantaneous line voltage and is
summed with Icharge to increase the charging current of Ct.
ICTUP is maximum at the peak of Vin and is approximately
zero at the zero crossing.
The zero crossing distortion increases the THD and
decreases the PF of the pre-converter. To meet
IEC61000−3−2 requirements, this is generally not an issue
as the NCP1608 reduces input current distortion with
sufficient margin. If improved THD or PF is required, then
zero crossing distortion must be reduced. To reduce the zero
crossing distortion, the on time is increased as the
instantaneous input voltage is decreasing to zero. This
increases the time for the inductor current to build up and

Figure 14. .Add RCTUP to Modulate the On Time and Reduce Zero Crossing Distortion
The increased charging current at the peak of Vin enables
the increased sizing of the Ct capacitor without reducing the
control range at VacHL or low output power. The larger value
of the Ct capacitor increases the on time near the zero
crossing and reduces the zero crossing distortion as shown
in Figure 15. This reduces the frequency variation over the
ac line cycle. The tradeoff is that the standby power
dissipation is increased by RCTUP. The designer must
balance the desired THD and PF performance with the
standby power dissipation requirements.

Figure 17. Required On Time Less Than the
Minimum On Time
This sequence increases the input current distortion.
There are two solutions to improve THD/PF at maximum
input voltage or low output current:
1. Properly size the Ct capacitor. As previously
mentioned, the Ct capacitor is sized to set the
maximum on time for minimum line input voltage
and maximum output power. Sizing Ct to an
excessively large value reduces the control range
at VacHL or low output power.
2. Compensate for propagation delays. If optimizing
the Ct capacitor does not achieve the desired
performance, then it may be necessary to
compensate for the PWM propagation delay by
connecting a resistor (RCT) in series with Ct.
When the Ct voltage reaches the VControl setpoint,
the PWM comparator sends a signal to end the on
time of the driver as shown in Figure 18.
2. Improve the THD/PF at Maximum Input Voltage or
Low Output Current:
If the required on time at maximum input voltage or low
output current is less than the minimum on time (tPWM), then
DRV pulses must be skipped to prevent excessive power
delivery to the output. This results in the following
sequence:
1. The excessive on time causes VControl to decrease
to Ct(offset).
2. When VControl < Ct(offset), the drive is disabled.
3. The drive is disabled and Vout decreases.
4. As Vout decreases, VControl increases.
5. The sequence repeats. Figure 17 depicts the
sequence:

A value of RCT = 365 W compensates for the propagation
delays. Figure 20 shows the decrease of THD at VacHL and
low output power by compensating for the propagation delay.
There is a delay (tdelay) from when VCt(off) is reached to
when the MOSFET completely turns off. tdelay is caused by
the propagation delay of the PWM comparator (tPWM) and
the time for the gate voltage of the MOSFET to decrease to
zero (tgate). The delays are illustrated in Figure 19.

Both THD reduction techniques can be combined to
decrease the THD for the entire output power range.
Figure 21 shows the decreased THD at the maximum input
voltage across the output power range by decreasing zero
crossing distortion and by compensating for the propagation
delay.

The total delay is calculated using Equation 25:

2. CZCD to add a decoupling capacitor to the ZCD

3. DDRV to add a diode for faster turn off of Q1.
4. DVCC to add a diode to clamp VCC.
5. ROUT2B to add a resistor for a more accurate
output voltage.
6. RS3 to add a resistor for a more accurate inductor
peak current limit or to reduce the heating of the
current sense resistors.
Since the FPP feature is only intended to protect the
system in the case of a floating FB pin, care must be taken
when removing the jumper. Do not attach any wires to the
jumper pins with the jumper removed. Connecting wires
to the FB pin couples excessive noise to the FB pin. This
prevents the correct operation of FPP and causes maximum
power to be delivered to the output. This can cause excessive
voltage to be applied to Cbulk. Always wear proper eye
protection when the jumper is removed.
The jumper is located next to high voltage components.
Do not remove the jumper during operation with bare
fingers or non-insulated metal tools.
Summary
Layout Considerations
A universal input voltage 100 W converter is designed
using the boost topology. The converter is implemented with
the NCP1608. Over the input voltage range and with an
output power of 100 W, the PF, THD, and efficiency are
measured as greater than 0.97, less than 8%, and greater than
92% respectively. The converter complies with
IEC61000−3−2 Class D limits for an input power of 75 W.
The converter is stable over the input voltage range with
a measured phase margin greater than 50 degrees. Finally,
the overvoltage protection and floating pin protection
features protect the converter from excessive output voltage.
The demonstration board is designed to showcase the
features and flexibility of the NCP1608. This design is
a guideline only and does not guarantee performance for any
manufacturing or production purposes.
Careful consideration must be given to the placement of
components during layout of switching power supplies.
Noise generated by the large voltages and currents can be
coupled to the pins of the NCP1608. The following
guidelines reduce the probability of excessive coupling:
1. Place the following components as close as
possible to the NCP1608:
a. Ct capacitor
b. VCC decoupling capacitor
c. Control pin compensation components
2. Minimize trace length, especially for high current
loops.
3. Use wide traces for high current connections.
4. Use a single point ground connection between
power ground and signal ground.
