Power Factor Correction Controllers
ISL6731A, ISL6731B
The ISL6731A and ISL6731B are active power factor
correction (PFC) controller ICs that use a boost topology. The
controllers are suitable for AC/DC power systems up to 2kW
and over the universal line input.
The ISL6731A and ISL6731B operate in Continuous Current
Mode (CCM). Accurate input current shaping is achieved with a
current error amplifier. A patent pending breakthrough
negative capacitance technology minimizes zero crossing
distortion and reduces the magnetic components size. The
small external components result in lower design cost without
sacrificing performance.
The internally clamped 12.5V gate driver delivers 1.5A peak
current to the external power MOSFET. The ISL6731A and
ISL6731B provide a highly reliable system that is fully
protected. Protection features include cycle-by-cycle
overcurrent, over power limit, over-temperature, input
brownout, output overvoltage and undervoltage protection.
The ISL6731A and ISL6731B provide excellent power
efficiency and transitions into a power saving skip mode
during light load conditions, thus improving efficiency
automatically. The ISL6731A and ISL6731B can be shut down
by pulling the FB pin below 0.5V or grounding the BO pin.
Two switching frequency options are provided. The ISL6731B
switches at 62kHz, and the ISL6731A switches at 124kHz.

GND
Ground pin. All voltage levels refer to this pin.

I
ISEN
Current sense pin. The current through this pin is proportional to the inductor current.
4
I/O
ICOMP
5
I
VIN
Input voltage sense. This pin provides the reference voltage to shape inductor current. Connect this pin to a resistor divider
from the rectified input voltage. The resistor divider ratio is used to adjust the phase lag between input voltage and the
input current. The phase lag is required to compensate the phase lead generated by the EMI filter.
6
I/O
BO
This pin should be decoupled to GND with a minimum 0.1µF ceramic capacitor. The BO pin is a voltage follower, which will
follow the DC voltage of the VIN pin. The BO pin is internally tied to GND through a resistor RIS. The decoupling capacitor
provides ripple filtering. When the voltage at the BO pin (VBO) drops below brownout voltage threshold, the controller
enters shutdown mode and the gate drive is disabled. The BO pin will be disabled when the FB pin drops below the enabling
threshold.
7
I
OVP
Overvoltage protection pin. Connect this pin to a resistor divider from the output. The resistor divider sets the OVP set point.
When the OVP pin voltage exceeds 104.5% of the reference voltage VREF, OVP is triggered and the gate drive is disabled.
8
I/O
COMP
Output of the error amplifier. The voltage of the COMP pin sets the input power. During start-up, a small charge current will
slowly ramp up the voltage of the COMP pin.
9
I
FB
Voltage feedback pin. Connect this pin to a resistor divider from the output. The resistor divider sets the output voltage.
When the FB pin voltage exceeds 104% of VREF, OVP is triggered and gate drive is disabled. When the FB pin drops below
10% of VREF, the device is put into shutdown mode. There is an internal pull-down current source for open loop protection.
10
I/O
SKIP
This pin has dual functions. Connecting this pin to ground disables the light load skip function. An internal 20μA current
sources out of this pin. Connect a resistor from this pin to the ground to set the average power trip point. The converter
exits the skip mode when either the VFB drops below 88% of VREF, or the ISEN current goes above 29μA.
11
-
VREG
Output of internal regulator. The voltage having a ±2% tolerance over line, load and operating temperature. Bypass to GND
with a 47nF low ESR capacitor. VREG can source up to 10mA. This pin is not recommended for usage other than bypass.
12
I
VCC
Power supply pin. The VCC pin should be decoupled to GND with a minimum 0.1µF ceramic capacitor.
14
O
GATE
Push-pull gate drive for the external MOSFET. Output voltage is clamped at 12.5V. This pin provides typically 2A sink and
1.5A source capability.

ISL6731A, ISL6731B
Functional Description
VCC Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
The ISL6731A and ISL6731B start automatically once the
voltage at VCC exceeds the UVLO threshold.
Shutdown
When the VFB pin is below 0.2V, the controller is disabled and
the PWM output driver is tri-stated. When disabled, the IC power
will be reduced. During shutdown, the COMP pin is discharged to
GND and the controller is disabled. The Over-Temperature
Protection (OTP) is still alive to prevent the controller from
starting up in a high temperature ambient condition.
In the event that the FB pin is disconnected from the feedback
resistors, the FB pin is pulled to ground by an internal current
source IFB. When the FB pin voltage drops below 0.2V, the gate
driver is disabled. The ISL6731A or ISL6731B enters shutdown
mode.
Soft-Start
The COMP pin is released once the soft-start operation begins. A
13µA current sources out to the RC network connected from the
COMP pin until the FB pin voltage reaches 90% of the reference
voltage.
Switching is inhibited when the COMP pin voltage is below 1V.
When the COMP pin reaches 1V, the current error amplifier and
the gate driver are activated and the converter starts switching.
During UVLO, brownout and shutdown, the COMP is pulled to the
ground.
Input Voltage Sensing
The VIN pin is needed to sense the rectified input voltage. The
sensed semi-sinusoidal waveform is needed to shape the
inductor current, which helps achieves unity power factor. At the
same time, the voltage on the VIN pin is used to generate the
negative capacitive element at the input. This will cancel the
input filter capacitor, CF. Canceling the effect of CF will increase
the displacement power factor and alleviate the zero crossing
distortion, which is related to the distortion power factor.
The BO pin also utilizes the VIN resistor divider for voltage
sensing. Set the resistor divider ratio to satisfy the brownout
requirement.
First, calculate the resistor divider ratio, KBO.
V BORMAX
K BO = ------------------------------------------V RMSmin – 2V F
(EQ. 1)
Where VF is the forward voltage drop of the bridge rectifier and
the voltage drop of DF1; DF2.
Then, select the RIN2 based on the highest reasonable resistance
value. Then select the RIN1 based upon the desirable minimum
RMS value of the line voltage for the PFC operation.
K BO
R IN1 = ---------------------  R IN2

(EQ. 2)
Inductor Current Sensing
The current sensing of the converter has two purposes. One is to
force the inductor current to track the input semi-sinusoidal
waveform. The other purpose is for overcurrent protection. Refer to
Figure 11 for the current sensing scheme. The sensed current ICS
is in proportion to the inductor current, IL as described in
Equation 3:

ISL6731A, ISL6731B
Since the RCS sees the average input current, high value RCS
generates high power dissipation on the RCS. Use a reasonable
RCS according to the resistor power rating. The worst-case power
dissipation occurs at the input low line when input current is at
its maximum. Power dissipation by the resistor is:
(EQ. 5)
P RCS =  I RMSMAX  2  R CS
IRMSMAX is the maximum input RMS current at the minimum
input line voltage, VRMSmin.
Select the RSEN according to the peak current limit requirement.
The resistor is sized for an overload current 25% more than the
peak inductor peak current.
Negative Input Capacitor Generation
The patent pending negative capacitor generation capability of
ISL6731A and ISL6731B allow the capacitor CF2 to be moved
from before the bridge rectifier (Figure 12) to after the bridge
rectifier (Figure 13). Thus, a smaller, lower cost CF2 can be used.
The change in topology reduces the size of the EMI filter.
Furthermore, CF1 can be increased thus decreasing the size of LF
(Figure 13).

CF3
BRIDGE RECFIFIER

The ISL6731A and ISL6731B can further reduce EMI filter size by
lowering the differential noise power density. The reduction is
achieved by switching frequency modulation.
The frequency varies with the VIN pin. The switching frequency
reaches the peak value when the VIN pin voltage is 2V as shown
in Figure 6. The peak value of ISL6731A is 124kHz, and the
ISL6731B is 62kHz.
Output Voltage Regulation
(Patent Pending)
VLINE
Adjusting the negative CEQ can be achieved by adjusting the
current compensation network.
Frequency Modulation
where:
EMI CHOKE
The equivalent negative capacitor is a function of the input
voltage divider ratio, KBO, the current sensing gain and current
compensation error integration gain.
The output voltage is sensed through a resistor divider. The
middle point of the resistor divider is fed to the FB pin. The
resistor divider ratio sets the output voltage. The
transconductance error amplifier generates a current in
proportion to the difference between the FB pin and the 2.5V
internal reference. The PFC is stabilized by the compensation
network that is connected from the COMP pin to the ground.
The voltage of the COMP sets the input average power by
determining the amplitude of the current reference. To keep the
harmonic distortion to a minimum, it is desirable to set the
control bandwidth much lower than twice of the line frequency.
The recommended voltage loop bandwidth is 10Hz.
During start-up, the compensation capacitors and the charging
current from the error amplifier sets the input power increase
rate. Thus, soft-start is achieved.

For PC, adaptor and TV applications, it is desirable to achieve
high efficiency at light load conditions and low standby current.
The ISL6731A and ISL6731B can enter light load skip mode
automatically. The skip mode trigger threshold is adjustable by
the SKIP pin. A 20µA current source out of the SKIP pin sets the
voltage on the pin via a resistor connected between the pin and
ground. Connecting this pin to ground disables the light load skip
function.
The voltage error amplifier output, COMP, is an indicator of the
average input power level. The controller compares the V(COMP)
and V(SKIP). If V(COMP)-1V is less than V(SKIP)*0.25, the PFC
controller stops gate switching and the COMP pin voltage is
clamped to V(SKIP)+0.6V.
The controller exits skip mode when VFB drops to 88% (typical) of
the reference voltage or when the sensed returned current
exceeds 29µA.
Additional CF1 may be used to accommodate the use of small
boost inductor or to eliminate the differential mode filter inductor
as long as the equipment meets the power factor or goal.

Protection Circuits
Input Brownout, BO Protection
Brownout occurs when there is a drop in the line voltage. The BO
pin is a dual function pin. The BO pin detects the brownout
condition and shuts down the gate driver and controller. During
normal operation, the BO pin is used to compensate the effect of
the input line voltage change on the voltage loop. To keep the
harmonic distortion low, the corner frequency formed by the RBO
and CBO should be lower than 6Hz.
Figure 14 shows the critical power components; Q1, D and COUT.
To minimize the voltage overshoot, the interconnecting wires
indicated by heavy lines should be part of the ground or the
power plane in a printed circuit board. The components shown in
Figure 14 should be located as close together as possible. Please
note that the capacitors CVCC and CO each represent numerous
physical capacitors. Locate the ISL6731A or ISL6731B within 2
inches of the MOSFET, Q1. The circuit traces for the MOSFETs’
gate and source connections from the ISL6731A and ISL6731B
must be sized to handle up to 1.5A peak current.
D
The BO pin is the output of the average voltage of the rectified
voltage. The PFC controller is turned off when the BO pin drops
below 0.4V. This protects the PFC power stage to enable
operation at or below brownout condition for long periods of
time. The controller resumes operation when the BO pin returns
to 0.5V.
L
The BO pin is usually connected to GND through a capacitor, CBO.
To avoid distortion on the VIN pin, select CBO so that:
GATE
(EQ. 6)
C BO » 0.22F
VCC
Overcurrent Protection
The peak current limit function prevents the inductor from
saturation. The gate driver turns off when the current goes above
the current limit set point.
Overpower Protection
The overpower protection is implemented by limiting the COMP
pin voltage higher than 3.85V (typical).
Overvoltage Protection
If the voltage on the FB pin exceeds the reference voltage VREF by
about 4%, the gate driver is turned off.
If the voltage on the OVP pin exceeds the VREF by about 4.5%, the
gate driver is turned off.
The controller resumes normal operation after both OVP and FB
pin drops below VREF.
Over-Temperature Protection
The ISL6731A and ISL6731B are protected against
over-temperature conditions. When the junction temperature
exceeds +160°C, the PWM shuts down. Normal operation is
resumed when the junction temperature decreases below +135°C.
Application Guidelines
Layout Considerations
As in any high frequency switching converter, layout is very
important. Switching current from one power device to another
can generate voltage transients across the impedances of the
interconnecting bond wires and circuit traces. These
interconnecting impedances should be minimized by using wide,
short printed circuit traces. The critical components should be
located as close together as possible using ground plane
construction or single point grounding.

The input current shaping is achieved by comparing the sensed
current signal to the sensed input voltage signal. The current error
amplifier (Gmi), together with the current compensation network,
adjusts the duty cycle so that the inductor current traces the
sensed rectified voltage. Thus, unity power factor is achieved.
The compensation network consists of the Trans-Conductance
error amplifier (Gmi) and the impedance network (ZICOMP). The
goal of the compensation network is to provide a closed loop
transfer function with the sufficient 0dB crossing frequency
(f0dB) and adequate phase margin. Phase margin is the
difference between the open loop phase at f0dB and 180°. The

INPUT VOLTAGE SETTING
With the equivalent negative capacitor, the total reactive current
reduces to:
First, set the BO resistor divider gain, KBO according to
Equations 1 and 2.
Assuming the converter starts at VLINE = 80VRMS, then the BO
resistor divider gain, KBO, should be:

NEGATIVE INPUT CAPACITOR GENERATION
The ISL6731A and ISL6731B generate an equivalent negative
capacitance at the input to cancel the input filter capacitance.
Thus, more input capacitors can be used without reducing the
power factor.
The input equivalent negative capacitance is a function of the
current sensing gain, BO resistor divider gain and the
compensation components.

This equivalent negative capacitor cancels the input filter
capacitor required for EMI filtering. Therefore, the displacement
power factor significantly improves.
For example, CF1 = 0.68µF, CF2 = CF3 = 0.47µF, using the low
cost EMI filter shown in Figure 13. When VLINE = 230VAC,
fLINE = 50Hz, PO = 300W.
