ML4819*
Power Factor and PWM Controller “Combo”
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The ML4819 is a complete boost mode Power factor
Controller (PFC) which also contains a PWM controller.
The PFC circuit is similar to the ML4812 while the PWM
controller can be used for current or voltage mode control
for a second stage converter. Since the PWM and PFC
circuits share the same oscillator, synchronization of the
two stages is inherent. The outputs of the controller IC
provide high current (>1A peak) and high slew rate to
quickly charge and discharge MOSFET gates. Special care
has been taken in the design of the ML4819 to increase
system noise immunity.
■
The PWM section includes cycle by cycle current limiting,
precise duty cycle limiting for single ended converters,
and slope compensation.

using a current sense transformer or current sensing
MOSFETs to non-dissipatively sense switch current. This
gives the system overall efficiency over average current
sensing control method.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
OSCILLATOR
The ML4819 oscillator charges the external capacitor (CT)
with a current (ISET) equal to 5/RSET. When the capacitor
voltage reaches the upper threshold, the comparator
changes state and the capacitor discharges to the lower
threshold through Q1. While the capacitor is discharging,
the clock provides a high pulse.

The ML4819 gain modulator is a linear current input
multiplier to provide high immunity to the disturbances
caused by high power switching. The rectified line input
sine wave is converted to a current via a dropping resistor.
In this way, small amounts of ground noise produce an
insignificant effect on the reference to the PWM
comparator.

SLOPE COMPENSATION
Slope compensation is accomplished by adding 1/2 of the
current flowing out of pin 12 to pin 1 (for the PFC section
and pin 9 (for the PWM section). The amount of slope
compensation is equal to (IRAMP COMP/2) ¥ RL where RL is
the impedance to GND on pin 1 or pin 9. Since most of
the PWM applications will be limited to 50% duty cycle,
slope compensation should not be needed for the PWM
section. This can be defeated by using a low impedance
load to the current sense on pin 9.

UNDER VOLTAGE LOCKOUT
On power-up the ML4819 remains in the UVLO condition;
output low and quiescent current low. The IC becomes
operational when VCC reaches 16V. When VCC drops
below 10V, the UVLO condition is imposed. During the
UVLO condition, the 5V VREF pin is “off”, making it
usable as a status flag.

For example:
POWER FACTOR SECTION
The power factor section in the ML4819 is similar to the
power factor section in the ML4812 with the exception of
the operation of the slope compensation circuit. Please
refer to the ML4812 data sheet for more information.
The following calculations refer to Figure 12 in this data
sheet. The component designators in the equations below
refer to the following components in Figure 12:
RT = R16, CT = C6.
INPUT INDUCTOR (L1) SELECTION
The central component in the regulator is the input boost
inductor. The value of this inductor controls various
critical operational aspects of the regulator. If the value is
too low, the input current distortion will be high and will
result in low power factor and increased noise at the
input. This will require more input filtering. In addition,
when the value of the inductor is low the inductor dries
out (runs out of current) at low currents. Thus the power
factor will decrease at lower power levels and/or higher
line voltages. If the inductor value is too high, then for a
given operating current the required size of the inductor
core will be large and/or the required number of turns will
be high. So a balance must be reached between distortion
and core size.
One more condition where the inductor can dry out is
analyzed below where it is shown to be maximum duty
cycle dependent.
if: VOUT = 380V and
DON(MAX) = 0.95
then substituting in (3) yields VINDRY = 20V. The effect of
drying out is an increase in distortion at low input voltages.
For a given output power, the instantaneous value of the
input current is a function of the input sinusoidal voltage
waveform. As the input voltage sweeps from zero volts to
its maximum value and back, so does the current.
The load of the power factor regulator is usually a
switching power supply which is essentially a constant
power load. As a result, an increase in the input voltage
will be offset by a decrease in the input current.
By combining the ideas set forth above, some ground
rules can be obtained for the selection and design of the
input inductor:
Step 1:
Find minimum operating current.
IIN(MIN)PEAK =
1.414 × PIN(MIN)
VIN(MAX)
(4)
VIN(MAX) = 260V
PIN(MIN) = 50W
then:
IIN(MIN)PEAK = 0.272A
For the boost converter at steady state:
VIN
1− DON
Effectively, the above relationship shows that the resetting
volt-seconds are more than setting volt-seconds. In energy
transfer terms this means that less energy is stored in the
inductor during the ON time than it is asked to deliver during
the OFF time. The net result is that the inductor dries out.
The recommended maximum duty cycle is 95% at
100KHz to allow time for the input inductor to dump its
energy to the output capacitors.

Step 2: Choose a minimum current at which point the
inductor current will be on the verge of drying
out. For this example 40% of the peak current
found in step 1 was chosen.

the current sweeps from minimum to maximum value.
This allows the use of smaller core sizes. The only
requirement is that the ramp compensation must be
adequate for the lower inductance value of the core so
that there is adequate compensation at high current.
Step 4: The presence of the ramp compensation will
change the dry out point, but the value found
above can be considered a good starting point.
Based on the amount of power factor correction
the value of L1 can be optimized after a few
iterations.
Gapped Ferrites, Molypermalloy, and Powdered Iron cores
are typical choices for core material. The core material
selected should have a high saturation point and
acceptable losses at the operating frequency.
One ferrite core that is suitable at around 200W is the
#4229PL00-3C8 made by Ferroxcube. This ungapped core
will require a total gap of 0.180" for this application.
OSCILLATOR COMPONENT SELECTION
The oscillator timing components can be calculated by
using the following expression:
fOSC =
1.36
R T × CT

Slope compensation in the ML4819 is provided internally.
A current equal to VCT/2(R18) is added to ISENSE A (pin 1).
this is converted to a voltage by R10, adding slope to the
sensed current through T1. The amount of slope
compensation should be at least 50% of the downslope of
the inductor current during the off time as reflected on pin
1. Note that slope compensation is a requirement only if
the inductor current is continuous and the duty cycle is
more than 50%. The highest inductor downslope is found
at the point of inductor discontinuity:

The value of the ramp compensation (SCPWM) as seen at
pin 1 is:
SCPWM =
2.5 × R 9
R16 × C6 × R18
The required value for R18 can therefore be found by
equating:
where ASC is the amount of slope compensation and
solving for R18.

(10)
Current-sensing MOSFETs or resistive sensing can also be
used to sense the switch current. In these cases, the
sensed signal has to be amplified to the proper level
before it is applied to the ML4819.
SCPWM = ASC × SPWM
Step 2: Calculate the required value of the timing
resistor.
RT =
L1
Where NC is the turns ratio of the current transformer (T1)
used. In general, current transformers simplify the sensing of
switch currents, especially at high power levels where the
use of sense resistors is complicated by the amount of
power they have to dissipate. Normally the primary side
of the transformer consists of a single turn and the
secondary consists of several turns of either enameled
magnet wire or insulated wire. The diameter of the ferrite
core used in this example is 0.5" (SPANG/Magnetics
F41206-TC). The rectifying diode at the output of the
current transformer can be a 1N4148 for secondary
currents up to 75mA average.
For example:
Step 1: At 100kHz with 95% duty cycle TOFF = 500ns
calculate CT using the following formula:

Choose two 178kW, 1% connected in series.
Where R11 is the sense resistor, and VCLAMP is the current
clamp at the inverting input of the PWM comparator. This
clamp is internally set to 5V. In actual application it is a
good idea to assume a value less than 5V to avoid
unwanted current limiting action due to component
tolerances. In this application VCLAMP was chosen as 4.8V.
R18 =
The values of the voltage regulation loop components are
calculated based on the operating output voltage. Note
that voltage safety regulations require the use of sense
resistors that have adequate voltage rating. As a rule of
thumb if 1/4W through-hole resistors are used, two of
them should be put in series. The input bias current of the
error amplifier is approximately 0.5µA, therefore the
current available from the voltage sense resistors should
be significantly higher than this value. Since two 1/4W
resistors have to be used the total power rating is 1/2W.
The operating power is set to be 0.4W then with 380V
output voltage the value can be calculated as follows:
R5 = (380V) / 0.4W = 360kΩ
Next select NC, which depends on the maximum switch
current. Assume 4A for this example. NC is 80 turns.

Then R6 can be calculated using the formula below:
V × R5 5V × 356kΩ
R6 = REF

VB − VREF

Choose 4.75kW, 1%. One more critical component in the
voltage regulation loop is the feedback capacitor for the
error amplifier. The voltage loop bandwidth should be set
such that it rejects the 120Hz ripple which is present at
the output. If this ripple is not adequately attenuated it
will cause distortion on the input current waveform.
Typical bandwidths range anywhere from a few Hertz to
15Hz. The main compromise is between transient
response and distortion. The feedback capacitor can be
calculated using the following formula:

OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION (OVP) COMPONENTS
PWM SECTION
The OVP loop should be set so that there is no interaction
with the voltage control loop. Typically it should be set to
a level where the power components are safe to operate.
Ten to fifteen volts above VOUT seems to be adequate.
This sets the maximum transient output voltage to about
395V.
The PWM section in Figure 12 is a two switch forward
converter, shown in Figure 14 below for clarity. This fully
clamped circuit eliminates the need for very high
voltage MOSFETs. Flyback topology is also possible with
the ML4819.
By choosing the high voltage side resistor of the OVP
circuit the same way as above i.e. R7 = 356K then R8 can
be calculated as:
R8 =
VREF × R7

OFF-LINE START-UP AND BIAS SUPPLY GENERATION
The Start-Up circuit in Figure 12 can be either a “bleed
resistor” (39kW, 2W) or the circuit shown in Figure 13. The
bleed resistor method offers advantage of simplicity and
lowest cost, but may yield excessive turn-on delay at low
line.
When the voltage on pin 15 (VCC) exceeds 16V, the IC
starts up. The energy stored on the C21 supplies the IC
with running power until the supplemental winding on T3
can provide the power to sustain operation.

ENHANCEMENT CIRCUIT
The power factor enhancement circuit (inside the dotted
lines) in Figure 11 is described in Application Note 11. It
improves the power factor and lowers the input current
harmonics. Note that the circuit meets IEC1000-3-2
specifications (with the enhancement circuit installed) on
the harmonics by a large margin while correcting the
input power factor to better than 0.99 under most steady
state operating conditions.

This regulator (Figure 12) uses current mode control.
Current is sensed through R24 and filtered for high
frequency noise and leading edge transient through T23
and C14. The main regulation loop is through PWM B. The
TL431 (U3) in the secondary serves as both the voltage
reference and error amplifier. Galvanic isolation is
provided by an optocoupler (U2) which provides a current
command signal on pin 8. Loop compensation is provided
by R29 and C20. The output voltage is set by:
 R 
VOUT = 2.5 1+ 29 

The control loop is compensated using standard
compensation techniques.
Current is limited to a threshold of 2A (1V on R24). The duty
cycle is limited in this circuit to below 50% to prevent
transformer (T3) core saturation. The maximum duty cycle
limit of 45% is set using a threshold of VREF/2 on pin 7.
the circuit in Figure 12 can be modified for voltage mode
operation by utilizing the slope current which appears on
pin 9 as show in figure 15 below.
The ramp amplitude appearing on pin 9 will be:

VR = R18 × R(V)

where R18 is the slope compensation resistor. Since this
circuit operates with a constant input voltage (as supplied
by the PFC section) voltage feed-forward is unnecessary.

CONSTRUCTION AND LAYOUT TIPS
High frequency power circuits require special care during
breadboard construction and layout. Double sided printed
circuit boards with ground plane on one side are highly
recommended. All critical switching leads (power FET,
output diode, IC output and ground leads, bypass
capacitors) should be kept as small as possible. This is to
minimize both the transmission and pickup of switching
noise.
There are two kinds of noise coupling; inductive and
capacitive. As the name implies inductive coupling is
due to fast changing (high di/dt) circulating switching
currents. The main source is the loop formed by Q1, D6,
and
C3–C4. Therefore this loop should be as small as possible,
and the above capacitors should be good, high frequency
types.
The second form of noise coupling is due to fast changing
voltages (high dv/dt). The main source in this case is the
drain of the power FET. The radiated noise in this case can
be minimized by insulating the drain of the FET from the
heatsink and then tying the heatsink to the source of the
FET with a high frequency capacitor.
The IC has two ground pins named PWR GND and Signal
GND. These two pins should be connected together with a
very short lead at the printed circuit board exit point. In
general grounding is very important and ground loops
should be avoided. Star grounding schemes are preferred.
