The FAN7930C is an active power factor correction
(PFC) controller for boost PFC applications that operate
in critical conduction mode (CRM). It uses a voltagemode PWM that compares an internal ramp signal with
the error amplifier output to generate a MOSFET turn-off
signal. Because the voltage-mode CRM PFC controller
does not need rectified AC line voltage information, it
saves the power loss of an input voltage sensing network
necessary for a current-mode CRM PFC controller.


FAN7930C provides over-voltage protection (OVP),
open-feedback protection, over-current protection
(OCP), input-voltage-absent detection, and undervoltage lockout protection (UVLO). The PFC-ready pin
can be used to trigger other power stages when PFC
output voltage reaches the proper level with hysteresis.
The FAN7930C can be disabled if the INV pin voltage is
lower than 0.45V and the operating current decreases to
a very low level. Using a new variable on-time control
method, THD is lower than the conventional CRM boost
PFC ICs.

1. Startup: Normally, supply voltage (VCC) of a PFC
block is fed from the additional power supply, which can
be called standby power. Without this standby power,
auxiliary winding for zero current detection can be used
as a supply source. Once the supply voltage of the PFC
block exceeds 12V, internal operation is enabled until
the voltage drops to 8.5V. If VCC exceeds VZ, 20mA
current is sinking from VCC.

2. INV Block: Scaled-down voltage from the output is
the input for the INV pin. Many functions are embedded
based on the INV pin: transconductance amplifier,
output OVP comparator, disable comparator, and output
UVLO comparator.
For the output voltage control, a transconductance
amplifier is used instead of the conventional voltage
amplifier. The transconductance amplifier (voltagecontrolled current source) aids the implementation of the
OVP and disable functions. The output current of the
amplifier changes according to the voltage difference of
the inverting and non-inverting input of the amplifier. To
cancel down the line input voltage effect on power factor
correction, the effective control response of the PFC
block should be slower than the line frequency and this
conflicts with the transient response of controller. Twopole one-zero type compensation may be used to meet
both requirements.
Figure 24.
3. RDY Output: When the INV voltage is higher than
2.24V, RDY output is triggered HIGH and lasts until the
INV voltage is lower than 2.051V. When input AC
voltage is quite high, for example 240VAC, PFC output
voltage is always higher than RDY threshold, regardless
of boost converter operation. In this case, the INV
voltage is already higher than 2.24V before PFC VCC
touches VSTART; however, RDY output is not triggered to
HIGH until VCC touches VSTART. After boost converter
operation stops, RDY is not pulled LOW because the
INV voltage is higher than the RDY threshold. When VCC
of the PFC drops below 5V, RDY is pulled LOW even
though PFC output voltage is higher than threshold. The
RDY pin output is open drain, so needs an external pullup resistor to supply the proper power source. The RDY
pin output remains floating until VCC is higher than 2V.
The OVP comparator shuts down the output drive block
when the voltage of the INV pin is higher than 2.675V
and there is 0.175V hysteresis. The disable comparator
disables operation when the voltage of the inverting
input is lower than 0.35V and there is 100mV hysteresis.
An external small-signal MOSFET can be used to
disable the IC, as shown in Figure 23. The IC operating
current decreases to reduce power consumption if the
IC is disabled. Figure 24 is the timing chart of the
internal circuit near the INV pin when rated PFC output
voltage is 390VDC and VCC supply voltage is 15V.

Figure 27. Circuit Near ZCD
Because auxiliary winding voltage can swing from
negative to positive voltage, the internal block in ZCD
pin has both positive and negative voltage clamping
circuits. When the auxiliary voltage is negative, internal
circuit clamps the negative voltage at the ZCD pin
around 0.65V by sourcing current to the serial resistor
between the ZCD pin and the auxiliary winding. When
the auxiliary voltage is higher than 6.5V, current is
sinked through a resistor from the auxiliary winding to
the ZCD pin.
Figure 28.
Figure 26.
Auxiliary Voltage Depends on
MOSFET Switching
The auxiliary winding voltage is used to check the boost
inductor current zero instance. When boost inductor
current becomes zero, there is a resonance between
boost inductor and all capacitors at the MOSFET drain
pin: including COSS of the MOSFET; an external
capacitor at the D-S pin to reduce the voltage rising and
falling slope of the MOSFET; a parasitic capacitor at
inductor; and so on to improve performance. Resonated
voltage is reflected to the auxiliary winding and can be
used for detecting zero current of boost inductor and
valley position of MOSFET voltage stress.
Two Cases of RDY Triggered LOW
4. Zero-Current Detection: Zero-current detection
(ZCD) generates the turn-on signal of the MOSFET
when the boost inductor current reaches zero using an
auxiliary winding coupled with the inductor. When the
power switch turns on, negative voltage is induced at the
auxiliary winding due to the opposite winding direction
(see Equation 1). Positive voltage is induced (see
Equation 2) when the power switch turns off.

5. Control: The scaled output is compared with the
internal reference voltage and sinking or sourcing
current is generated from the COMP pin by the
transconductance amplifier. The error amplifier output is
compared with the internal sawtooth waveform to give
proper turn-on time based on the controller.
Figure 29.
FAN7930C — Critical Conduction Mode PFC Controller
(CCM). In CCM, unlike CRM where the boost inductor
current is reset to zero at the next switch on; inductor
current builds up at every switching cycle and can be
raised to very high current that exceeds the current
rating of the power switch or diode. This can seriously
damage the power switch and result in burn down. To
avoid this, maximum switching frequency limitation is
embedded. If ZCD signal is applied again within 3.3μs
after the previous rising edge of gate signal, this signal
is ignored internally and FAN7930C waits for another
ZCD signal. This slightly degrades the power factor
performance at light load and high input voltage.
For valley detection, a minor delay by the resistor and
capacitor is needed. A capacitor increases the noise
immunity at the ZCD pin. If ZCD voltage is higher than
1.5V, an internal ZCD comparator output becomes
HIGH and LOW when the ZCD goes below 1.4V. At the
falling edge of comparator output, internal logic turns on
the
MOSFET.
Auxiliary Voltage Threshold
When no ZCD signal is available, the PFC controller
cannot turn on the MOSFET, so the controller checks
every switching off time and forces MOSFET turn on
when the off time is longer than 150μs. This is called the
restart timer, which triggers MOSFET turn-on at startup
and may be used at the input voltage zero-cross period.
Figure 32.
Unlike a conventional voltage-mode PWM controller,
FAN7930C turns on the MOSFET at the falling edge of
ZCD signal. On-instance is determined by the external
signal and the turn-on time lasts until the error amplifier
output (VCOMP) and sawtooth waveform meet. When
load is heavy, output voltage decreases, scaled output
decreases, COMP voltage increases to compensate low
output, turn-on time lengthens to give more inductor
turn-on time, and increased inductor current raises the
output voltage. This is how PFC negative feedback
controller regulates output.
150 s
Figure 30.
Restart Timer at Startup
Because the MOSFET turn-on depends on the ZCD
input, switching frequency may increase to higher than
several megahertz due to the miss-triggering or noise
on the nearby ZCD pin. If the switching frequency is
higher than needed for critical conduction mode (CRM),
operation mode shifts to continuous conduction mode

The maximum of VCOMP is limited to 6.5V, which dictates
the maximum turn-on time, and switching stops when
VCOMP is lower than 1.0V.

Figure 33.
Turn-On Time Determination
The roles of PFC controller are regulating output voltage
and input current shaping to increase power factor. Duty
control based on the output voltage should be fast
enough to compensate output voltage dip or overshoot.
For the power factor, however, the control loop must not
react to the fluctuating AC input voltage. These two
requirements conflict; therefore, when designing a
feedback loop, the feedback loop should be least 10
times slower than AC line frequency. That slow
response is made by C1 at compensator. R1 makes
gain boost around operation region and C2 attenuates
gain at higher frequency. Boost gain by R1 helps raise
the response time and improves phase margin.
Figure 36.

FAN7930C — Critical Conduction Mode PFC Controller
6. Soft-Start: When VCC reaches VSTART, the internal
reference voltage is increased like a stair step for 5ms.
As a result, VCOMP is also raised gradually and MOSFET
turn-on time increases smoothly. This reduces voltage
and current stress on the power switch during startup.
Soft-Start Sequence
7. Startup without Overshoot: Feedback control speed
of PFC is quite slow. Due to the slow response, there is
a gap between output voltage and feedback control.
That is why over-voltage protection (OVP) is critical at
the PFC controller and voltage dip caused by fast load
changes from light to heavy is diminished by a bulk
capacitor. OVP is easily triggered at startup phase.
Operation on and off by OVP at startup may cause
audible noise and can increase voltage stress at startup,
which is normally higher than in normal operation. This
operation is better when soft-start time is very long.
However, too much startup time enlarges the output
voltage building time at light load. FAN7930C has
overshoot avoidance at startup. During startup, the
feedback loop is controlled by an internal proportional
gain controller and, when the output voltage reaches the
rated value, it switches to an external compensator after
a transition time of 30ms. This internal proportional gain
controller eliminates overshoot at startup and an
external conventional compensator takes over
successfully afterward.
Compensators Gain Curve
For the transconductance error amplifier side, gain
changes based on differential input. When the error is
large, gain is large to make the output dip or peak to
suppress quickly. When the error is small, low gain is
used to improve power factor performance.

Startup Control without Overshoot
Figure 39.
8. THD Optimization: Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
is the factor that dictates how closely input current
shape matches sinusoidal form. The turn-on time of the
PFC controller is almost constant over one AC line
period due to the extremely low feedback control
response. The turn-off time is determined by the current
decrease slope of the boost inductor made by the input
voltage and output voltage. Once inductor current
becomes zero, resonance between COSS and the boost
inductor makes oscillating waveforms at the drain pin
and auxiliary winding. By checking the auxiliary winding
voltage through the ZCD pin, the controller can check
the zero current of boost inductor. At the same time, a
minor delay is inserted to determine the valley position
of drain voltage. The input and output voltage difference
is at its maximum at the zero cross point of AC input
voltage. The current decrease slope is steep near the
zero cross region and more negative inductor current
flows during a drain voltage valley detection time. Such
a negative inductor current cancels down the positive
current flows and input current becomes zero, called
“zero-cross distortion” in PFC.
To improve this, lengthened turn-on time near the zero
cross region is a well-known technique, though the
method may vary and may be proprietary. FAN7930C
optimizes this by sourcing current through the ZCD pin.
Auxiliary winding voltage becomes negative when the
MOSFET turns on and is proportional to input voltage.
The negative clamping circuit of ZCD outputs the
current to maintain the ZCD voltage at a fixed value.
The sourcing current from the ZCD is directly
proportional to the input voltage. Some portion of this
current is applied to the internal sawtooth generator,
together with a fixed-current source. Theoretically, the
fixed-current source and the capacitor at sawtooth
generator determine the maximum turn-on time when no
current is sourcing at ZCD clamp circuit and available
turn-on time gets shorter proportional to the ZCD
sourcing current.

Effect of THD Optimizer
By THD optimizer, turn-on time over one AC line period
is proportionally changed, depending on input voltage.
Near zero cross, lengthened turn-on time improves THD
performance.
9. VIN Absent Detection: To save power loss caused by
input voltage sensing resistors and to optimize THD, the
FAN7930C omits AC input voltage detection. Therefore,
no information about AC input is available from the
internal controller. In many cases, the VCC of PFC
controller is supplied by a independent power source,
like standby power. In this scheme, some mismatch
may exist. For example, when the electric power is

suddenly interrupted during two or three AC line
periods; VCC is still live during that time, but output
voltage drops because there is no input power source.
Consequently, the control loop tries to compensate for
the output voltage drop and VCOMP reaches its
maximum. This lasts until AC input voltage is live again.
When AC input voltage is live again, high VCOMP allows
high switching current and more stress is put on the
MOSFET and diode. To protect against this, FAN7930C
checks if the input AC voltage exists. If input does not
exist, soft-start is reset and waits until AC input is live
again. Soft-start manages the turn-on time for smooth
operation when it detects AC input is applied again and
applies less voltage and current stress on startup.
10. Current Sense: The MOSFET current is sensed
using an external sensing resistor for over-current
protection. If the CS pin voltage is higher than 0.8V, the
over-current protection comparator generates a
protection signal. An internal RC filter of 40kΩ and 8pF
is included to filter switching noise.
11. Gate Driver Output: FAN7930C contains a single
totem-pole output stage designed for a direct drive of
the power MOSFET. The drive output is capable of up
to +500/-800mA peak current with a typical rise and fall
time of 50ns with 1nF load. The output voltage is
clamped to 13V to protect the MOSFET gate even if the
VCC voltage is higher than 13V.

PFC block normally handles high switching current and
the voltage low energy signal path can be affected by
the high energy path. Cautious PCB layout is mandatory
for stable operation.

The gate drive path should be as short as possible.
The closed-loop that runs from the gate driver,
MOSFET gate, and MOSFET source to ground of
PFC controller should be as close as possible. This
is also crossing point between power ground and
signal ground. Power ground path from the bridge
diode to the output bulk capacitor should be short
and wide. The sharing position between power
ground and signal ground should be only at one
position to avoid ground loop noise. Signal path of
PFC controller should be short and wide for
external components to contact.
PFC output voltage sensing resistor is normally
high to reduce current consumption. This path can
be affected by external noise. To reduce noise
potential at the INV pin, a shorter path for output
sensing is recommended. If a shorter path is not
possible, place some dividing resistors between
PFC output and the INV pin — closer to the INV pin
is better. Relative high voltage close to the INV pin
can be helpful.
ZCD path is recommended close to auxiliary
winding from boost inductor and to the ZCD pin. If
that is difficult, place a small capacitor (below 50pF)
to reduce noise.
The switching current sense path should not share
with another path to avoid interference. Some
additional components may be needed to reduce
the noise level applied to the CS pin.

A stabilizing capacitor for VCC is recommended as
close as possible to the VCC and ground pins. If it is
difficult, place the SMD capacitor as close to the
corresponding pins as possible.

Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) at rated load is lower than 15% at universal input.
Key Design Notes

When auxiliary VCC supply is not available, VCC power can be supplied through Zero Current Detect (ZCD)
winding. The power consumption of R103 is quite high, so its power rating needs checking.

Because the input bias current of INV pin is almost zero, output voltage sensing resistors (R112~R115) should
be as high as possible. However, too-high resistance makes the node susceptible to noise. Resistor values need
to strike a balance between power consumption and noise immunity.

Quick-charge diode D106 can be eliminated. Without D106, system operation is normal due to the controller’s
highly reliable protection features.
