It is comprised of the boost inductor L3, the power switch, formed by the parallel of MOSFETs Q1 and Q2, the diode D3 and the output capacitors C3 and C4. The 300 V varistor RV1, connected between the line and the neutral, protects the circuit against high input voltage transients while the fuse F1 disconnects the mains in case of short-circuit. To meet the EMC standards, the board is equipped with an input EMI filter cutting the switching noise coming from the boost stage. In particular L2 filters the common-mode emissions while L1, C1, C2 reduce the differential-mode emissions. The L4984D has to be supplied by an external power supply, connected between pin #1 (VCC) and pin #2 (GND) of J3. The capacitor C14 connected to the TIMER (#7) pin determines the switching frequency. The resistor divider R12, R16, R22 and R24 provides to the L4984D multiplier (MULT, pin #3) the information of the instantaneous mains voltage that is used to modulate the peak current of the boost, the TOFF duration and is fed to the VFF block. The resistors R6, R8, R13 with R17 and R18 are dedicated to sense the output voltage and feed to the inverting input of the error amplifier (INV, pin #1) the feedback information necessary to keep the output voltage regulated. Between the INV (#1) and COMP (#2) pins, the components C8, R21 and C11 form the error amplifier compensation network in order to keep the required loop stability. The inductor peak current is sensed by resistors R27, R30, R31 placed in series to the MOSFETs’ source and the derived signal is fed into the current sense pin (CS, #4) of the L4984D via the filter by R29 and C13. C15 and R28, connected to the VFF pin (#5), complete an internal peak-holding circuit providing the information on the RMS mains voltage, deriving a DC voltage equal to the peak of the MULT pin (#3) voltage, which is fed to the multiplier to compensate the control loop gain dependence on the mains voltage. The brownout function is also implemented using the VFF pin. A voltage below 0.8 V on the VFF pin (#5) shuts down (no latch) the IC and brings its consumption to a considerably lower level. The L4984D starts as the voltage at the pin rises above 0.88 V. The divider R5, R10, R14 and R23 provides to the L4984D PFC_OK pin (#7) the information of the output voltage level, to trigger the dynamic OVP protection, preventing the output voltage from excessive values during the load transients due to the slow response caused DocID023658 Rev 2 5/33 33 Main characteristics and circuit description AN4163 by the intrinsic narrow bandwidth of PFC systems. If the voltage on the PFC_OK pin (#7) exceeds 2.5 V, the L4984D stops switching and restarts as the voltage on the pin falls below 2.4 V. The open-loop protection (also called feedback failure protection) monitors the PFC_OK (#7) and INV (#1) pins. If the voltage of the PFC_OK pin (#7) exceeds 2.5 V, and at the same time the voltage on INV pin (#1) falls below 1.66 V, a feedback failure is assumed and the device is latched off. Normal operation can be resumed only by cycling Vcc (pin #10), bringing its value lower than VCCrestart (6 V, typ.), before rising up to the turn-on threshold VCCon (12 V, typ.). Additionally a remote on/off control input is present. If the voltage on the PFC_OK pin (#7) is tied below the PFC_OK disable threshold (VPFC_OK_D, 0.23 V typ.), the L4984D is shut down and the operation is restarted when the voltage on the PFC_OK pin (#7) increases above the PFC_OK enable threshold (VPFC_OK_E, 0.27 V typ.). The L4984D operation can be also disabled or enabled to manage properly light load or failure by the D2D via the PFC_OK pin (#7), using pin #3 of J3 (ON/OFF). 6/33 DocID023658 Rev 2 2 1 R14 3M3 R22 4M7 C12 2N2 R10 3M3 R16 3M9 R23 56K R5 3M3 C13 330pF C8 68N F1 FUSE T6.3A R12 3M9 R24 100K 90-264Vac J1 RV1 300Vac C15 1uF C11 680N R21 100K VFF CS MULT U1 L4984D COMP INV R17 56K JPX2 R4 750K C5 470N-X2 R28 1M0 5 4 3 2 1 R13 2M2 R8 2M2 R6 2M2 R3 750K R1 750K PFC-OK TIMER GND GD 6 7 8 9 10 C16 2N2 1 4 VCC R18 160K 3 C6 1uF-X2 2 3 L2 3mH - 7A 2 JPX3 C9 470N C14 680pF PCB REV. 1 Z1 ~ 4 1 C10 100uF-35V HS1 HEAT-SINK _ ~ D2 D15XB60H 3/7 C1 220nF-520V L1 70uH - 7A R29 1K0 C2 1uF-520V D7 LL4148 D6 LL4148 R33 100R R32 10R JPX4 R26 3R9 R25 6R8 R20 3R9 R19 6R8 11 9 L3 700uH 5 2 R27 0R33 GND ON/OFF 3 VCC 2 1 R31 0R33 1 C17 470nF-520V J3 22-27-2031 R30 0R33 1 Q2 STF21N65M5 JPX5 L4 2743005112 D3 STTH8S06FP C4 100uF - 450V HS2 HEAT-SINK Q1 STF21N65M5 C3 100uF - 450V R2 NTC 1R0-S237 2 D1 1N5406 2 3 + DocID023658 Rev 2 3 JPX1 1 2 3 4 5 J2 +400Vdc +400Vdc NC RTN RTN +400Vout AN4163 Main characteristics and circuit description Figure 2.

Therefore, this demonstration board has been tested according to the European standard EN61000-3-2 Class-D and Japanese standard JEITA-MITI class-D, at full load at both the nominal input voltage mains. As shown in Figure 3 to Figure 6, the circuit can reduce the harmonics well below the limits of both regulations from full load down to light load. An output power of 70 W has been chosen because it is close to the lower power limit at which the harmonics have to be limited according to the above-mentioned standards. Figure 3.

As shown, the PF at full load and half load remains above 0.9 over the input voltage mains range, while when the circuit is delivering 70 W, it decreases at high mains range. THD is within 20% until 230 V and at the maximum mains voltage (265 Vac) it increases at the maximum input voltage. Figure 13. Power factor vs. Vin and load Figure 14.

As shown in Figure 18 and Figure 20, the inductor current waveform over a line half-period is very similar to that of an average CCM PFC. Comparing Figure 18 to Figure 20 showing the inductor ripple envelope at 115 Vac and 230 V respectively, it is possible to notice the different ripple currents and how the converter operates in either CCM or DCM depending on the input voltage and the load. At 115 Vac the borderline between DCM and CCM occurs close to the zero-crossing of the current sine wave, so the inductor is working in CCM for almost all the line period while at 230 Vac the borderlines between DCM and CCM move toward the top of the circuit and the boost inductor works in CCM only in a portion centered around the peak of the sine wave.

EVL4984-350W inductor current ripple (detail) at 230 Vac - 50 Hz - full load CH1: Q1/Q2 drain voltage CH4: L4 inductor current ripple envelope AM13408v1 On both the drain voltage traces shown in Figure 19 and Figure 20, close to the zerocrossing points of the sine wave, it is possible to note the action of the THD optimizer embedded in the L4984D, minimizing the conduction dead-angle occurring on the AC input current near the zero-crossings of the line voltage (crossover distortion). In this way, the THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) of the current is considerably reduced. A major cause of this distortion is the inability of the system to transfer energy effectively when the instantaneous line voltage is very low. This effect is magnified by the high-frequency filter capacitor placed after the bridge rectifier, which retains some residual voltage that causes the diodes of the bridge rectifier to be reverse-biased and the input current flow to temporarily stop. 12/33 DocID023658 Rev 2 AN4163 Test results and significant waveforms To overcome this issue the device forces the PFC pre-regulator to process more energy near the line voltage zero-crossings as compared to that commanded by the control loop. This will result in both minimizing the time interval where energy transfer is lacking and fully discharging the high-frequency filter capacitor after the bridge. Essentially, the circuit artificially increases the ON-time of the power switch with a positive offset added to the output of the multiplier in the proximity of the line voltage zero-crossings. This offset is reduced as the instantaneous line voltage increases, so that it becomes negligible as the line voltage moves toward the top of the sinusoid and it is modulated by the voltage on the VFF pin, so as to have little offset at low line, where energy transfer at zero-crossings is typically quite good, and a larger offset at high line where the energy transfer gets worse. To derive maximum benefit from the THD optimizer circuit, the high-frequency filter capacitors after the bridge rectifier should be minimized, compatible with EMI filtering needs. A large capacitance, in fact, introduces a conduction dead-angle of the AC input current in itself, thus reducing the effectiveness of the optimizer circuit. 2.3 Switching frequency and TIMER pin With the L4984D the switching frequency is determined by a capacitor connected between the TIMER pin and ground, charged by an accurate internal generator (ITIMER) of 156 A (typ.) during the OFF-time, generating a voltage ramp. As shown in Figure 22 when the voltage ramp on TIMER equals the voltage on the MULT pin, connected through a resistive divider to the rectified mains to get a sinusoidal voltage reference, the OFF-time of the power MOSFET is terminated, the gate driver (GD) pin is driven high and the ramp resets at zero. The timing capacitor CT is then selected with the following formula described in the L4984D datasheet: Equation 1 CT ITIMER k P Vout f sw where fSW is the switching frequency and kp the ratio of the resistive divider on the MULT pin, calculated considering the maximum value of the multiplier input, that is the voltage measured on the MULT pin at maximum mains voltage. The switching frequency fSW is not constant but is modulated at twice the line frequency ripple 2fL appearing across the output capacitor Cout, spreading the spectrum of the electrical noise injected back into the power line and facilitating the compliance with conducted EMI emission regulations. The switching frequency chosen for this design is around 70 kHz, so the capacitor on the TIMER pin needed to obtain the desired frequency is: Equation 2 CT 156 A 695pF 8 10 400V 70kHz 3 An NP0 capacitor with commercial value of 680 pF has been selected for the TIMER capacitor. For further details on the calculation procedure of the entire converter, please refer to AN4149, “Designing a CCM PFC pre-regulator based on the L4984D”. DocID023658 Rev 2 13/33 33 Test results and significant waveforms AN4163 Figure 22. EVL4984-350W 115 Vac - 60 Hz - normal working condition CH1: MULT - pin #3 CH2: TIMER - pin #7 CH3: GD - pin #9 2.4 AM13409v1 Voltage feed-forward The power stage gain of PFC pre-regulators varies with the square of the RMS input voltage. This applies as well to the crossover frequency fc of the overall open-loop gain because the gain has a single pole characteristic. This leads to large trade-offs in the design. For example, setting the gain of the error amplifier to get fc = 20 Hz at 264 Vac means having fc = 4 Hz at 88 Vac, resulting in sluggish control dynamics. Additionally, the slow control loop causes large transient current flow during rapid line or load changes that are limited by the dynamics of the multiplier output. This limit is considered when selecting the sense resistor to let the full load power pass under minimum line voltage conditions, with some margin. However, a fixed current limit allows excessive power input at high line, whereas a fixed power limit requires the current limit to vary inversely with the line voltage. The voltage feed-forward function can compensate for the gain variation with the line voltage and allow overcoming all of the above-mentioned issues. It consists of deriving a voltage proportional to the input RMS voltage, feeding this voltage into a squarer/divider circuit (1/V 2 corrector) and providing the resulting signal to the multiplier that generates the current reference for the inner current control loop. In this way a change of the line voltage will cause an inversely proportional change of the half sine amplitude at the output of the multiplier so that the current reference is adapted to the new operating conditions with (ideally) no need for invoking the slow dynamics of the error amplifier. Additionally, the loop gain will be constant throughout the input voltage range, which improves significantly dynamic behavior at low line and simplifies loop design. The L4984D implements voltage feed-forward with a technique that makes use of just two external parts and that limits the feed-forward time constant trade-off issue to only one direction. A capacitor CFF (C15) and a resistor RFF (R28), both connected to the VFF pin (#5), complete an internal peak-holding circuit that provides a DC voltage equal to the peak of the rectified sine wave applied on the MULT pin (#3). RFF provides a means to discharge CFF when the line voltage decreases. However, a drawback of the VFF technique is an increase of the harmonics. Deriving a voltage proportional to the RMS line voltage implies a form of integration, which has its own time constant. If it is too small, the voltage generated will be affected by a considerable 14/33 DocID023658 Rev 2 AN4163 Test results and significant waveforms amount of ripple at twice the mains frequency causing distortion of the current reference (resulting in high THD and poor PF). If it is too large, there will be a considerable delay in setting the right amount of feed-forward, resulting in excessive overshoot and undershoot of the pre-regulator's output voltage in response to large line voltage changes. Clearly, a tradeoff is required. For reference, in Figure 23 and Figure 24 the comparison of the input current shape and the measurement of the THD and 3rd harmonic amplitude for different CFF values taken from a similar board using the former L4984D are shown. Figure 23. EVL4984-350W input current shape at 100 Vac - 60 Hz - CFF = 470 nF, RFF = 390 k THD [%]: 3.6 % - 3 CH3: VFF - pin #5 CH4: input current RD harmonic: 0.07 A AM13410v1 Figure 24. EVL4984-350W input current shape at 100 Vac - 60 Hz - CFF = 1 µF, RFF = 1 M THD [%]: 2.8 % - 3 CH3: VFF - pin #5 CH4: input current RD harmonic: 0.057 A AM13411v1 To overcome this issue the new L4984D has integrated an innovative circuitry which allows getting a fast transient response for whichever voltage change occurs on the mains, both surges and drops. Thus, in case of sudden line voltage rise, CFF will be rapidly charged through the low impedance of the internal diode and no appreciable overshoot will be visible at the pre-regulator's output. In case of line voltage drop, an internal “mains drop” detector enables a low impedance switch which suddenly discharges CFF avoiding a long settling time before reaching the new voltage level. Consequently an acceptably low steady-state ripple and low current distortion can be achieved without any considerable undershoot or overshoot on the pre-regulator’s output like in systems with no feed-forward compensation. In Figure 25 the behavior of the EVL4984-350W demonstration board in case of an input voltage surge from 90 to 140 Vac has been analyzed. As shown the VFF function provides for the stability of the output voltage which is not affected by the input voltage surge. Thanks to the VFF function, the compensation of the input voltage variation is very fast and the output voltage remains stable at its nominal value, as opposed to Figure 26, which shows the behavior of a PFC using the L6562 working in FOT and delivering 400 W in case of a mains surge. The controller cannot compensate it and the output voltage stability depends on the feedback loop only. Unfortunately, as previously stated, its bandwidth is narrow and thus the output voltage has a significant deviation from the nominal value. DocID023658 Rev 2 15/33 33 Test results and significant waveforms AN4163 Figure 25.

As visible, in that case the output voltage changes, but after few mains cycle it comes back to the nominal value. The situation is different if we check the behavior of a PFC using the L6562A with FOT and delivering 400 W: in case of a mains dip from 140 Vac to 90 Vac, the output voltage requires a longer time to restore the original value. Testing with a wider voltage variation (e.g. 265 Vac to 90 Vac), the output voltage variation of a PFC without the voltage feed-forward fast discharging is much more emphasized. Figure 27. EVL4984-350W input mains dip from Figure 28.

When the VCC voltage rises up to the turn-on threshold, the L4984D starts the operation. The good phase margin of the compensation network allows a clean startup, without overshoots. Figure 29. EVL4984-350W start-up at 90 Vac -60 Figure 30. EVL4984-350W start-up at 265 Vac -50 Hz - full load Hz - full load CH1: PFC output voltage CH2: VCC - pin #10 CH4: GD - pin #9 AM13416v1 CH1: PFC output voltage CH2: VCC - pin #10 CH4: GD - pin #9 AM13417v1 To reduce inrush energy at startup or after an auto-restart protection tripping, the L4984D uses an internal soft-start function. The function is performed by internally pulling the voltage on pin MULT towards an asymptotic level located at about 4.1 V as the device wakes up. This has a twofold effect: on one hand, the output of the multiplier will be lowered through the voltage feed-forward function, thus programming a lower peak current; on the other hand, the off-time of the power switch is considerably prolonged with respect to the normal values programmed by the capacitor connected to pin TIMER. In this way, both the current inrush and the risk of saturating the boost inductor at startup are minimized. After 300 µs from its activation the pull-up is released. The voltage on pin MULT decays with the time constant determined by the resistor divider that biases the pin and the bypass capacitor typically connected between the pin and ground. At the same time CFF is discharged by turning on the low impedance discharge switch. In this way the programmed current by the multiplier is minimized and increases according to the previously mentioned VFF time constant.

After 300 us, the VFF capacitor starts discharging and the MOSFET starts switching. After startup Toff is properly extended as long as the MULT voltage is higher than the steady state value, then progressively decreased to the value determined by the TIMER capacitance and MULT instantaneous voltage. When the device is disabled and enabled more than one time (burst mode), the PFC_OK is released after the first startup. In this condition, the L4984D does not activate the soft-start procedure, as required in case the burst mode pulses are enabled by a downstream converter via the PFC_STOP pin. The L4984D restarts almost immediately after releasing the PFC_OK pin and GD begins operation just after a Toff period. Figure 33.

As can be noted, the inductor current does not exhibit any flux accumulation, which sometimes may occur working in CCM. In that case, a higher margin in the PFC inductor calculation has to be considered. Figure 35. Vin 90 Vac - startup at full load CH2: MULT - pin #3 CH2: VFF - pin #5 CH4: INDUCTOR CURRENT AM13482v2 Figure 36. Vin 115 Vac - startup at full load CH2: MULT - pin #3 CH2: VFF - pin #5 CH4: INDUCTOR CURRENT AM13483v2 A dangerous event for any PFC is operating with an insufficient input voltage. This condition may cause overheating of the power section due to an excess of RMS current. To prevent the PFC from this abnormal operation a brownout protection is needed. It is basically an unlatched shutdown function that has to be activated when a condition of mains undervoltage is detected.The brownout function is implemented in the L4984D by the VFF pin (#5). A voltage below the disable threshold (VDIS, 0.8 V typ.) on the VFF shuts down (no latch) the IC and brings its consumption to a considerably lower level. The L4984D restarts as the voltage at the pin rises above 0.88 V which is the enable threshold (VEN, 0.88 V typ.). As shown in Figure 34 the startup is inhibited as the voltage on VFF is below 0.8 V, and the PFC is not allowed to start up. In Figure 37 and Figure 38 the waveforms of the circuit during operation of the brownout protection are captured. In both cases the mains voltage was increased or decreasing slowly: as visible, both at turn-on or turn-off there are no bouncing or starting attempts by the converter.

It can be noted that the L4984D is working in burst-mode and the PFC keeps the output voltage regulated. 2.6 Overvoltage and open-loop protection Normally, the voltage control loop keeps the output voltage Vout of the PFC pre-regulator close to its nominal value, set by the ratio of the resistors of the output divider (the resistors R6, R8, R13 with R17 and R18). The pin PFC_OK (#6) of the device has been dedicated to monitor the output voltage VOUT with a separate resistor divider (R5+R10+R14 and R23) in order to detect the OVP condition. This divider is selected so that the voltage at the pin 20/33 DocID023658 Rev 2 AN4163 Test results and significant waveforms reaches 2.5 V when the output voltage exceeds a preset value, usually larger than the maximum VOUT that can be expected, also including worst-case load/line transients. When the OVP condition is detected, the gate drive activity is immediately stopped until the voltage on the pin PFC_OK drops below 2.4 V. Notice that R5, R10, R14 and R23 can be selected without any constraints. The unique criterion is that both dividers have to sink a current from the output bus which needs to be significantly higher than the current biasing the error amplifier and PFC_OK comparator. Figure 40. EVL4984-350W open loop at 115 Vac - 60 Hz - full load CH1: Q1/Q2 drain voltage CH2: INV - pin #1 CH2: PFC_OK - pin #6 CH4: PFC output voltage AM13425v1 The OVP function described above is able to handle “normal” overvoltage conditions, i.e. those resulting from an abrupt load/line change or occurring at startup. In case the overvoltage is generated by a feedback disconnection, for instance, when the upper resistor of the output divider (R6) fails open, the open-loop protection is needed. The open-loop protection is implemented by the PFC_OK (#6) and INV (#1) pins. If the voltage of the PFC_OK pin exceeds 2.5 V, and at the same time the voltage on INV pin (#1) falls below 1.66 V a feedback failure is assumed, and the device is latched off, stopping the gate drive activity. The pin PFC_OK doubles its function as a non-latched IC disable: a voltage below 0.23 V will shut down the IC, reducing its consumption below 2 mA. To restart the L4984D simply let the voltage at the pin rise above 0.27 V. Note that this function offers a complete protection against not only feedback loop failures or erroneous settings, but also against a failure of the protection itself. Either resistor of the PFC_OK divider failing short or open or a PFC_OK pin floating will result in shutting down the L4984D and stopping the pre-regulator. The event of an open loop is captured in Figure 40, we can notice the protection intervention latching the operation of the L4984D. The operation can be resumed by recycling VCC. 2.7 Power management/housekeeping functions A communication line with the control IC of the cascaded DC-DC converter can be established via the disable function included in the PFC_OK pin. Typically this line is used to allow the PWM controller of the cascaded DC-DC converter to shut down the L4984D in DocID023658 Rev 2 21/33 33 Test results and significant waveforms AN4163 case of light load and to minimize the no-load input consumption. Should the residual consumption of the chip be an issue, it is also possible to cut down the supply voltage. Interface circuits like those are shown in Figure 41. Needless to say, this operation assumes that the cascaded DC-DC converter stage works as the master and the PFC stage as the slave or, in other words, that the DC-DC stage starts first, it powers both controllers and enables/disables the operation of the PFC stage.
