CM6900
PFC/PWM COMBO w/ INRUSH CURRENT CONTROL & SEPARATED PFCOVP
Functional Description
The CM6900 consists of an average current controlled,
continuous boost Power Factor Correction (PFC) front end
and a synchronized Pulse Width Modulator (PWM) back
end. The PWM can be used in either current or voltage
mode. In voltage mode, feedforward from the PFC output
buss can be used to improve the PWM’s line regulation. In
either mode, the PWM stage uses conventional trailing
edge duty cycle modulation, while the PFC uses leading
edge modulation. This patented leading/trailing edge
modulation technique results in a higher usable PFC error
amplifier bandwidth, and can significantly reduce the size of
the PFC DC buss capacitor.
The synchronized of the PWM with the PFC simplifies the
PWM compensation due to the controlled ripple on the PFC
output capacitor (the PWM input capacitor). The PWM
section of the CM6900 runs at the same frequency as the
PFC.
In addition to power factor correction, a number of
protection features have been built into the CM6900. These
include soft-start, PFC overvoltage protection, peak current
limiting, brownout protection, duty cycle limiting, and
under-voltage lockout.
Since the boost converter topology in the CM6900 PFC is of
the current-averaging type, no slope compensation is
required.
PFC Section
Power Factor Correction
Power factor correction makes a nonlinear load look like a
resistive load to the AC line. For a resistor, the current
drawn from the line is in phase with and proportional to the
line voltage, so the power factor is unity (one). A common
class of nonlinear load is the input of most power supplies,
which use a bridge rectifier and capacitive input filter fed
from the line. The peak-charging effect, which occurs on
the input filter capacitor in these supplies, causes brief
high-amplitude pulses of current to flow from the power line,
rather than a sinusoidal current in phase with the line
voltage. Such supplies present a power factor to the line of
less than one (i.e. they cause significant current harmonics
of the power line frequency to appear at their input). If the
input current drawn by such a supply (or any other
nonlinear load) can be made to follow the input voltage in
instantaneous amplitude, it will appear resistive to the AC
line and a unity power factor will be achieved.
To hold the input current draw of a device drawing power
from the AC line in phase with and proportional to the input
voltage, a way must be found to prevent that device from
loading the line except in proportion to the instantaneous
line voltage. The PFC section of the CM6900 uses a
boost-mode DC-DC converter to accomplish this. The input
to the converter is the full wave rectified AC line voltage. No
bulk filtering is applied following the bridge rectifier, so the
input voltage to the boost converter ranges (at twice line
frequency) from zero volts to the peak value of the AC input
and back to zero. By forcing the boost converter to meet
two simultaneous conditions, it is possible to ensure that
the current drawn from the power line is proportional to the
input
2003/04/23 Preliminary Rev. 1.2
line voltage. One of these conditions is that the output
voltage of the boost converter must be set higher than the
peak value of the line voltage. A commonly used value is
385VDC, to allow for a high line of 270VACrms. The other
condition is that the current drawn from the line at any given
instant must be proportional to the line voltage. Establishing
a suitable voltage control loop for the converter, which in turn
drives a current error amplifier and switching output driver
satisfies the first of these requirements. The second
requirement is met by using the rectified AC line voltage to
modulate the output of the voltage control loop. Such
modulation causes the current error amplifier to command a
power stage current that varies directly with the input voltage.
In order to prevent ripple, which will necessarily appear at the
output of boost circuit (typically about 10VAC on a 385V DC
level), from introducing distortion back through the voltage
error amplifier, the bandwidth of the voltage loop is
deliberately kept low. A final refinement is to adjust the
overall gain of the PFC such to be proportional to 1/VIN2,
which linearizes the transfer function of the system as the AC
input to voltage varies.
Inrush Current Control
This section is an additional function besides CM6800
functions. The INRUSHSTOPB pin is low during inrush
current condition. It happens during start-up and high input
current when ISENSE is less than –1.8V.
Gain Modulator
Figure 1 shows a block diagram of the PFC section of the
CM6900. The gain modulator is the heart of the PFC, as it is
this circuit block which controls the response of the current
loop to line voltage waveform and frequency, rms line
voltage, and PFC output voltages. There are three inputs to
the gain modulator. These are:
1. A current representing the instantaneous input voltage
(amplitude and waveshape) to the PFC. The rectified AC
input sine wave is converted to a proportional current via a
resistor and is then fed into the gain modulator at IAC.
Sampling current in this way minimizes ground noise, as is
required in high power switching power conversion
environments. The gain modulator responds linearly to this
current.
2. A voltage proportional to the long-term RMS AC line
voltage, derived from the rectified line voltage after scaling
and filtering. This signal is presented to the gain modulator
at VRMS. The gain modulator’s output is inversely
2
proportional to VRMS (except at unusually low values of
VRMS where special gain contouring takes over, to limit
power dissipation of the circuit components under heavy
brownout conditions). The relationship between VRMS and
gain is called K, and is illustrated in the Typical
Performance Characteristics.
3. The output of the voltage error amplifier, VEAO. The gain
modulator responds linearly to variations in this voltage.

PFC/PWM COMBO w/ INRUSH CURRENT CONTROL & SEPARATED PFCOVP
The output of the gain modulator is a current signal, in the
form of a full wave rectified sinusoid at twice the line
frequency. This current is applied to the virtual-ground
(negative) input of the current error amplifier. In this way the
gain modulator forms the reference for the current error
loop, and ultimately controls the instantaneous current draw
of the PFC form the power line. The general for of the
output of the gain modulator is:
IGAINMOD =
IAC × VEAO
x 1V
VRMS2
(1)
More exactly, the output current of the gain modulator is
given by:
IGAINMOD = K x (VEAO – 0.625V) x IAC
Where K is in units of V
-1
Note that the output current of the gain modulator is limited
around 228.47µA and the maximum output voltage of the
gain modulator is limited to 228.47uA x 3.5K=0.8V. This
0.8V also will determine the maximum input power.
However, IGAINMOD cannot be measured directly from ISENSE.
ISENSE = IGAINMOD-IOFFSET and IOFFSET can only be measured
when VEAO is less than 0.5V and IGAINMOD is 0A. Typical
IOFFSET is around 60uA.

IAC pin is the input of the gain modulator. IAC also is a
current mirror input and it requires current input. By
selecting a proper resistor RAC, it will provide a good sine
wave current derived from the line voltage and it also helps
program the maximum input power and minimum input line
voltage.
RAC=Vin peak x 7.9K. For example, if the minimum line
voltage is 80VAC, the RAC=80 x 1.414 x 7.9K=894Kohm.
Current Error Amplifier, IEAO
The current error amplifier’s output controls the PFC duty
cycle to keep the average current through the boost
inductor a linear function of the line voltage. At the inverting
input to the current error amplifier, the output current of the
gain modulator is summed with a current which results from
a negative voltage being impressed upon the ISENSE pin.
The negative voltage on ISENSE represents the sum of all
currents flowing in the PFC circuit, and is typically derived
from a current sense resistor in series with the negative
terminal of the input bridge rectifier.
2003/04/23 Preliminary Rev. 1.2
In higher power applications, two current transformers are
sometimes used, one to monitor the IF of the boost diode. As
stated above, the inverting input of the current error amplifier
is a virtual ground. Given this fact, and the arrangement of
the duty cycle modulator polarities internal to the PFC, an
increase in positive current from the gain modulator will
cause the output stage to increase its duty cycle until the
voltage on ISENSE is adequately negative to cancel this
increased current. Similarly, if the gain modulator’s output
decreases, the output duty cycle will decrease, to achieve a
less negative voltage on the ISENSE pin.
Cycle-By-Cycle Current Limiter and Selecting RS
The ISENSE pin, as well as being a part of the current feedback
loop, is a direct input to the cycle-by-cycle current limiter for
the PFC section. Should the input voltage at this pin ever be
more negative than –1V, the output of the PFC will be
disabled until the protection flip-flop is reset by the clock
pulse at the start of the next PFC power cycle.
RS is the sensing resistor of the PFC boost converter. During
the steady state, line input current x RS = IGAINMOD x 3.5K.
Since the maximum output voltage of the gain modulator is
IGAINMOD max x 3.5K= 0.8V during the steady state, RS x line
input current will be limited below 0.8V as well. Therefore, to
choose RS, we use the following equation:
RS =0.7V x Vinpeak/(2x Line Input power)
For example, if the minimum input voltage is 80VAC, and the
maximum input rms power is 200Watt, RS = (0.7V x 80V x
1.414)/(2 x 200) = 0.197 ohm.
Separated PFC Overvoltage Protection
In the CM6900, PFC OVP is using VFB2, which is separated
from VFB to sense OVP condition. The PFC OVP
comparator serves to protect the power circuit from being
subjected to excessive voltages if the load should suddenly
change. A resistor divider from the high voltage DC output of
the PFC is fed to VFB. When the voltage on VFB2 exceeds
2.75V, the PFC output driver is shut down. The PWM section
will continue to operate. The OVP comparator has 250mV of
hysteresis, and the PFC will not restart until the voltage at
VFB drops below 2.50V. The VFB power components and
the CM6900 are within their safe operating voltages, but not
so low as to interfere with the boost voltage regulation loop.
Also, VCCA OVP can be served as a redundant PFCOVP
protection. VCCA OVP threshold is 19.4V with 1.5V
hysteresis.

Error Amplifier Compensation
The PWM loading of the PFC can be modeled as a
negative resistor; an increase in input voltage to the PWM
causes a decrease in the input current. This response
dictates the proper compensation of the two
transconductance error amplifiers. Figure 2 shows the types
of compensation networks most commonly used for the
voltage and current error amplifiers, along with their
respective return points. The current loop compensation is
returned to VREF to produce a soft-start characteristic on the
PFC: as the reference voltage comes up from zero volts, it
creates a differentiated voltage on IEAO which prevents the
PFC from immediately demanding a full duty cycle on its
boost converter.
PFC Voltage Loop:
There are two major concerns when compensating the
voltage loop error amplifier, VEAO; stability and transient
response. Optimizing interaction between transient
response and stability requires that the error amplifier’s
open-loop crossover frequency should be 1/2 that of the
line frequency, or 23Hz for a 47Hz line (lowest anticipated
international power frequency). The gain vs. input voltage
of the CM6900’s voltage error amplifier, VEAO has a
specially shaped non-linearity such that under steady-state
operating conditions the transconductance of the error
amplifier is at a local minimum. Rapid perturbation in line or
load conditions will cause the input to the voltage error
amplifier (VFB) to deviate from its 2.5V (nominal) value. If
this happens, the transconductance of the voltage error
amplifier will increase significantly, as shown in the Typical
Performance Characteristics. This raises the
gain-bandwidth product of the voltage loop, resulting in a
much more rapid voltage loop response to such
perturbations than would occur with a conventional linear
gain characteristics.

It should also be limited to less than 1/6th that of the

frequency.

There is a modest degree of gain contouring applied to the
transfer characteristic of the current error amplifier, to
increase its speed of response to current-loop
perturbations. However, the boost inductor will usually be
the dominant factor in overall current loop response.
Therefore, this contouring is significantly less marked than
that of the voltage error amplifier. This is illustrated in the
Typical Performance Characteristics.
2003/04/23 Preliminary Rev. 1.2
There are 2 purposes to add a filter at ISENSE pin:
1.) Protection: During start up or inrush current
conditions, it will have a large voltage cross Rs
which is the sensing resistor of the PFC boost
converter. It requires the ISENSE Filter to attenuate
the energy.
2.) To reduce L, the Boost Inductor: The ISENSE Filter
also can reduce the Boost Inductor value since the
ISENSE Filter behaves like an integrator before going
ISENSE which is the input of the current error
amplifier, IEAO.
The ISENSE Filter is a RC filter. The resistor value of the ISENSE
Filter is between 100 ohm and 50 ohm because IOFFSET x the
resistor can generate an offset voltage of IEAO. By selecting
RFILTER equal to 50 ohm will keep the offset of the IEAO less
than 5mV. Usually, we design the pole of ISENSE Filter at
fpfc/6, one sixth of the PFC switching frequency. Therefore,
the boost inductor can be reduced 6 times without disturbing
the stability. Therefore, the capacitor of the ISENSE Filter,
CFILTER, will be around 283nF.

Oscillator (RAMP1)
The oscillator frequency is determined by the values of RT
and CT, which determine the ramp and off-time of the
oscillator output clock:
fOSC =
1
tRAMP + tDEADTIME
The dead time of the oscillator is derived from the following
equation:
tRAMP = CT x RT x In VREF − 1.25
VREF − 3.75
at VREF = 7.5V:
tRAMP = CT x RT x 0.51
The dead time of the oscillator may be determined using:
tDEADTIME =
2.5V x CT = 450 x CT
5.5mA
The dead time is so small (tRAMP >> tDEADTIME ) that the
operating frequency can typically be approximately by:
fOSC =
1
tRAMP
EXAMPLE:
For the application circuit shown in the datasheet, with the
oscillator running at:
fOSC = 100kHz =
1
tRAMP
of the current flowing in the converter’s output stage.
DCILIMIT, which provides cycle-by-cycle current limiting, is
typically connected to RAMP2 in such applications. For
voltage-mode, operation or certain specialized applications,
RAMP2 can be connected to a separate RC timing network
to generate a voltage ramp against which VDC will be
compared. Under these conditions, the use of voltage
feedforward from the PFC buss can assist in line regulation
accuracy and response. As in current mode operation, the
DC ILIMIT input is used for output stage overcurrent protection.
No voltage error amplifier is included in the PWM stage of
the CM6900, as this function is generally performed on the
output side of the PWM’s isolation boundary. To facilitate the
design of optocoupler feedback circuitry, an offset has been
built into the PWM’s RAMP2 input which allows VDC to
command a zero percent duty cycle for input voltages below
1.25V.
PWM Current Limit
The DC ILIMIT pin is a direct input to the cycle-by-cycle current
limiter for the PWM section. Should the input voltage at this
pin ever exceed 1V, the output flip-flop is reset by the clock
pulse at the start of the next PWM power cycle. Beside, the
cycle-by-cycle current, when the DC ILIMIT triggered the
cycle-by-cycle current, it also softly discharge the voltage of
soft start capacitor. It will limit PWM duty cycle mode.
Therefore, the power dissipation will be reduced during the
dead short condition.
VIN OK Comparator
The VIN OK comparator monitors the DC output of the PFC
and inhibits the PWM if this voltage on VFB is less than its
nominal 2.45V. Once this voltage reaches 2.45V, which
corresponds to the PFC output capacitor being charged to its
rated boost voltage, the soft-start begins.
-5
Solving for CT x RT yields 1.96 x 10 . Selecting standard
components values, CT = 390pF, and RT = 51.1kΩ
The dead time of the oscillator adds to the Maximum PWM
Duty Cycle (it is an input to the Duty Cycle Limiter). With
zero oscillator dead time, the Maximum PWM Duty Cycle is
typically 45%. In many applications, care should be taken
that CT not be made so large as to extend the Maximum
Duty Cycle beyond 50%. This can be accomplished by
using a stable 390pF capacitor for CT.
PWM Section
Pulse Width Modulator
The PWM section of the CM6900 is straightforward, but
there are several points which should be noted. Foremost
among these is its inherent synchronization to the PFC
section of the device, from which it also derives its basic
timing. The PWM is capable of current-mode or
voltage-mode operation. In current-mode applications, the
PWM ramp (RAMP2) is usually derived directly from a
current sensing resistor or current transformer in the
primary of the output stage, and is thereby representative
2003/04/23 Preliminary Rev. 1.2
PWM Control (RAMP2)
When the PWM section is used in current mode, RAMP2 is
generally used as the sampling point for a voltage
representing the current un the primary of the PWM’s output
transformer, derived either by a current sensing resistor or a
current transformer. In voltage mode, it is the input for a
ramp voltage generated by a second set of timing
components (RRAMP2, CRAMP2),that will have a minimum value
of zero volts and should have a peak value of approximately
5V. In voltage mode operation, feedforward from the PFC
output buss is an excellent way to derive the timing ramp for
the PWM stage.
Soft Start
Start-up of the PWM is controlled by the selection of the
external capacitor at SS. A current source of 20µA supplies
the charging current for the capacitor, and start-up of the
PWM begins at 1.25V. Start-up delay can be programmed by
the following equation:
CSS = tDELAY x
20 µA
1.25V
Champion Microelectronic Corporation
Page 12
CM6900
PFC/PWM COMBO w/ INRUSH CURRENT CONTROL & SEPARATED PFCOVP
where CSS is the required soft start capacitance, and the
tDEALY is the desired start-up delay.
It is important that the time constant of the PWM soft-start
allow the PFC time to generate sufficient output power for
the PWM section. The PWM start-up delay should be at
least 5ms.
If anything goes wrong, and VCCA goes beyond 19.4V, the
PFC gate (pin 14) drive goes low and the PWM gate drive
(pin 13) remains function. The resistor’s value must be
chosen to meet the operating current requirement of the
CM6900 itself (5mA, max.) plus the current required by the
two gate driver outputs.
Solving for the minimum value of CSS:
CSS = 5ms x
20 µA = 80nF
1.25V
Caution should be exercised when using this minimum soft
start capacitance value because premature charging of the
SS capacitor and activation of the PWM section can result if
VFB is in the hysteresis band of the VIN OK comparator at
start-up. The magnitude of VFB at start-up is related both to
line voltage and nominal PFC output voltage. Typically, a
1.0µF soft start capacitor will allow time for VFB and PFC
out to reach their nominal values prior to activation of the
PWM section at line voltages between 90Vrms and
265Vrms.
Generating VCCA
After turning on CM6900 at 13V, the operating voltage can
vary from 10V to 19.4V. The threshold voltage of VCCA
OVP comparator is 19.4V. The hysteresis of VCCA OVP is
1.5V. When VCCA see 19.4V, PFCOUT will be low, and
PWM section will not be disturbed. That’s the two ways to
generate VCCA. One way is to use auxiliary power supply
around 15V, and the other way is to use bootstrap winding
to self-bias CM6900 system. The bootstrap winding can be
either taped from PFC boost choke or from the transformer
of the DC to DC stage.
2003/04/23 Preliminary Rev. 1.2
The ratio of winding transformer for the bootstrap should be
set between 18V and 15V. A filter network is recommended
between VCCA (pin 16) and bootstrap winding. The resistor
of the filter can be set as following.
RFILTER x IVCCA ~ 2V, IVCCA = IOP + (QPFCFET + QPWMFET ) x fsw
IOP = 3mA (typ.)
EXAMPLE:
With a wanting voltage called, VBIAS ,of 18V, a VCCA of 15V
and the CM6900 driving a total gate charge of 90nC at
100kHz (e.g. 1 IRF840 MOSFET and 2 IRF820 MOSFET),
the gate driver current required is:
IGATEDRIVE = 100kHz x 90nC = 9mA
RBIAS =
VBIAS − VCC
ICC + IG
RBIAS =
18V − 15V
5mA + 9mA
Choose RBIAS = 214Ω
The CM6900 should be locally bypassed with a 1.0µF
ceramic capacitor. In most applications, an electrolytic
capacitor of between 47µF and 220µF is also required across
the part, both for filtering and as part of the start-up bootstrap
circuitry.

Leading/Trailing Modulation
Conventional Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) techniques
employ trailing edge modulation in which the switch will turn
on right after the trailing edge of the system clock. The error
amplifier output is then compared with the modulating ramp
up. The effective duty cycle of the trailing edge modulation
is determined during the ON time of the switch. Figure 4
shows a typical trailing edge control scheme.
One of the advantages of this control technique is that it
required only one system clock. Switch 1(SW1) turns off and
switch 2 (SW2) turns on at the same instant to minimize the
momentary “no-load” period, thus lowering ripple voltage
generated by the switching action. With such synchronized
switching, the ripple voltage of the first stage is reduced.
Calculation and evaluation have shown that the 120Hz
component of the PFC’s output ripple voltage can be
reduced by as much as 30% using this method.
In case of leading edge modulation, the switch is turned
OFF right at the leading edge of the system clock. When
the modulating ramp reaches the level of the error amplifier
output voltage, the switch will be turned ON. The effective
duty-cycle of the leading edge modulation is determined
during OFF time of the switch. Figure 5 shows a leading
edge control scheme.
