ALPHA-MICRO A3130

a3130 general features
The a3130 is a universal DSP-based PFC solution to be used in applications requiring
power factor values close to unity. Typical applications are high-power DC motors and
lighting systems. The controller is based on the boost topology and is fully softwarecontrolled. The PFC algorithm is loaded from an on-chip non-volatile memory for standalone operation or can be uploaded to the DSP core using a two-wire interface.
Highlights:
 Fully reconfigurable digitally-controlled power factor controller in CMOS
technology
 On-chip AC-phase-locked sinusoidal 45...65Hz oscillator to improve AC-line
noise rejection
 High accuracy through on-chip 10bit ADC and dedicated RISC processor
 Achievable high efficiency (>95%) and power factor (>0.99)
 Broad range of user-selectable PWM frequency (5kHz...200kHz)
 Low EMC filter requirements due to use of spread-spectrum PWM
 Two-wire interface to load software
 Supports 90V...135V and 195V...275V 60/50Hz mains standards
Available Options:
 On-chip gate driver
 On-chip OTP memory for stand-alone operation
