www.fairchildsemi.com Application Note AN4107 Design of Power Factor Correction Using FAN7527 1. Introduction power factor is obtained. The FAN7527 is an active power factor correction(PFC) controller for boost PFC application which operates in the critical conduction mode. It turns on MOSFET when the inductor current reaches zero and turns off MOSFET when the inductor current meets the desired input current reference voltage as shown in Fig. 1. In this way, the input current waveform follows that of the input voltage, therefore a good 1-1. Internal Block Diagram It contains following blocks. • Error amplifier (E/A) • Zero current detection (Idet) • Switch current sensing (CS) • Input voltage sensing (MULT) • Switch drive (OUT) .

Error Amplifier and Over Voltage Protection Block The sensed and divided output voltage is fedback to the error amplifier inverting input(INV) to regulate the output voltage. The non-inverting input is internally biased at 2.5V. The error amp output(EA_OUT) is internally connected to the multiplier and is pinned out for the loop compensation. Generally, the control loop bandwidth of PFC converter is set below 20Hz to get a good power factor. In this application, a capacitor is connected between INV and EA_OUT. However, in case of over voltage condition, the E/A must be saturated low as soon as possible, but the narrow E/A bandwidth slows down the response. To make the over voltage protection fast, the soft OVP and dynamic OVP is added. The FAN7527 monitors the current flowing into the EA_OUT pin. If the monitored current reaches about 30uA, the output of multiplier is forced to be decreased, thus reducing the input current drawn from the mains(soft OVP). If the monitored current exceeds 40uA, the OVP protection is triggered(dynamic OVP), then the external power transistor is switched off until the current falls below about 10uA. In this case, it disables some internal blocks reducing the quiescent current of the chip to 2mA. However, if the over voltage lasts so long that the output of E/A goes below 2.25V, then the protection is activated(static OVP) keeping the output stage and the external power switch turned off. The operation of the device is re-enabled as the E/A output goes back into its linear region.

Error Amplifier and OVP Block 2-2. Multiplier A single quadrant, two input multiplier is the critical element that enables this device to get power factor correction. One input of multiplier(Pin 3) is connected to an external resistor divider which monitors the rectified ac line voltage. The other input is internally driven by a DC voltage which is the difference between error amplifier output (Pin 2) and reference voltage, Vref. The multiplier is designed to have an extremely linear transfer curve over a wide dynamic range, 0V to 3.8V for Pin 3, and 2.25V to 6V for error amplifier output under all line and load conditions. The multiplier output controls the current sense comparator threshold voltage as the ac voltage traverses sinusoidally from zero to peak line. This allows the inductor peak current to follow the ac line thus forcing the average input current to be sinusoidal. In other words, this has the effect of forcing the MOSFET on-time to track the input line voltage, resulting in a fixed drive output on-time, thus making the pre-converter load appear to be resistive to the ac line. 2 The equation below describes the relationship between multiplier output and its inputs.

Multiplier block 2-3. Current Sense Comparator The current sense comparator adopts the RS latch configuration to ensure that only a single pulse appears at the drive output during a given cycle. MOSFET drain current is sensed using an external sense resistor in series with the external MOSFET. When the sensed voltage exceeds the threshold set by the multiplier output, the current sense comparator turns off the MOSFET and resets the PWM latch. The latch insures that the output remains in a low state after the MOSFET drain current falls back to zero. The peak inductor current under the normal operating condition is controlled by the multiplier output, Vmo. The abnormal operating condition occurs during pre-converter start-up at extremely high line or as output voltage sensing is lost. Under these conditions, the multiplier output and current sense threshold will be internally clamped to 1.8V. Therefore, the maximum peak switch current is limited to: Ipk(max) = 1.8V / Rsense In the FAN7527, an internal R/C filter has been included to attenuate any high frequency noise that may be present on the current waveform. This circuit block eliminates the need for an external R/C filter otherwise required for proper operation of the circuit. CS 40k 4 8pF Rsense + − Current Sense Comparator 1.8V Vmo Figure 5. Current Sense Circuit ©2001 Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation 3 AN4107 APPLICATION NOTE 2-4. Zero Current Detector FAN7527 operates as a critical conduction current mode controller. The zero current detector switches on the external MOSFET as the voltage across the boost inductor reverses, just after the current through the boost inductor has gone to zero. The slope of the inductor current is indirectly detected by monitoring the voltage across an auxiliary winding and connecting it to the zero current detector Pin 5. Once the inductor current reaches ground level, the polarity of the voltage across the winding is reversed. When the Idet input falls below 1.5V, the comparator output is triggered to the low state. To prevent false tripping, 0.5V hysteresis is provided. The zero current detector input is protected internally by two clamps. The upper 6.5V clamp prevents input over voltage breakdown while the lower 0.75V clamp prevents substrate injection. An internal current limit resistor protects the lower clamp transistor in case the Idet pin is shorted to ground accidentally. A watchdog timer function is added to the IC to eliminate the need for an external oscillator when used in stand-alone applications. The timer provides a means to start or restart the pre-converter automatically if the drive output has been off for more than 500us after the inductor current reached zero.

Output Drive The FAN7527 contains a single totem-pole output stage designed specifically for a direct drive of power MOSFET. The drive output is capable of up to 500mA peak current with a typical rise and fall time of 130ns, 50ns respectively with a 1.0nF load. Additional circuitry has been added to keep the drive output in a sinking mode whenever the UVLO is active. This characteristic eliminates the need for an external gate pull-down resistor. Internal voltage clamping ensures that the output driver is always lower than 14V when supply voltage exceeds the rated Vgs of the external MOSFET. This eliminates an external zener diode and extra power dissipation associated with it that otherwise is required for the reliable circuit operation. 3. Circuit Components Design switching frequency limitation. The minimum switching frequency has to be above the audio frequency. The switching period is maximum when the input voltage is highest at maximum load condition. TS(max) is a function of Vin(peak) and VO. It can have maximum value at highest line or at lowest line according to VO. Check TS(max) at Vin(peak_min) and Vin(peak_max) , then take the higher value for the maximum switching period.

When MOSFET turns on the MOSFET current rises slowly so the turn on loss is negligible. MOSFET turn off loss and MOSFET discharge loss are obtained by (17) and (18) respectively. The switching frequency of the critical conduction mode boost PFC converter varies according to the line condition and load condition. Therefore the switching frequency is the average value during a line period. The total MOSFET loss can be calculate by (19) and then a MOSFET can be selected considering MOSFET thermal characteristic. 1 4 2Vin ( LL ) I Qrms = I L ( peak_max ) --- – ---------------------------6 9πV O ( 13 ) 2 2 ⋅ VO I O ( max ) 1 4 2V in ( LL ) = ----------------------------------------- --- – ---------------------------ηV in ( LL ) 9πV O 6 I D ( avg ) = I O (1 − cos( 2ω t )) P on = I IO 2 Qrms ⋅ R DSon ( 15 ) ( 16 ) 1 P turn – off = --- V O I L ( peak_max ) ⋅ t f ⋅ f sw 6 2 2 V O ⋅ I O ( max ) = ------- --------------------------------- ⋅ t f ⋅ f sw 3 ηV in ( LL ) ( 17 ) 4 2 P disch arg e = --- C oss.Vo ⋅ V O ⋅ f sw 3 ∆VO = IO ωC O VO ( 18 ) P MOSFET = P on + P turn-off + P disch arg e ( 19 ) And the MOSFET gate drive resistor is determined by (20).

Calculate the pin 3 voltage at the lowest line using Gin(max) by (30). Then the current sense resistor is determined by (31), (32) and (34).

The maximum input voltage sensing gain is determined by (29). Using the calculated value, the current sense resistance is determined by (31), (32) and (34). The maximum current sense resistance is 0.48Ω and the selected value is 0.2Ω. Then the minimum input voltage sensing gain is determined by (30). If we choose the input voltage sense bottom resistor to be 18kΩ then the maximum input voltage sense upper resistance and the minimum input voltage sense upper resistance can be obtained from Gin(min) and Gin(max) . The selected value is 2.7MΩ. Fig. 11 shows the designed application circuit diagram and table 1 shows the 100W demo board components list. 4-5.
