CM6903A
Low Pin Count PFC/PWM CONTROLLER COMBO
Functional Description
The CM6903A consists of an ICST (Input Current Shaping
Technique), CCM (Continuous Conduction Mode) or DCM
(Discontinuous Conduction Mode) boost PFC (Power
Factor Correction) front end and a synchronized PWM
(Pulse Width Modulator) back end. The CM6903A is pin to
pin compatible with FAN6903/4 (9 pin SIP package), which
is the second generation of the ML4803 with 8 pin package.
It is distinguished from earlier combo controllers by its low
count, innovative input current shaping technique, and very
low start-up and operating currents. The PWM section is
dedicated to peak current mode operation. It uses
conventional trailing-edge modulation, while the PFC uses
leading-edge
modulation.
This
patented
Leading
Edge/Trailing Edge (LETE) modulation technique helps to
minimize ripple current in the PFC DC buss capacitor.
The main improvements from ML4803 are:
1.) Remove the one pin error amplifier and add back
the slew rate enhancement gmv, which is using
voltage input instead of current input. This
transconductance amplifier will increase the
transient response 5 to 10 times from the
conventional OP
2.) VFB PFC OVP comparator
3.) Tri-fault Detect for UL1950 compliance and
enhanced safety
4.) A feedforward signal from IAC pin is added to do
the automatic slope compensation. This
increases the signal to noise ratio during the light
load; therefore, THD is improved at light load and
high input line voltage.
5.) CM6903A does not require the bleed resistor and
it uses the less than 500k ohm resistor between
IAC pin and rectified line voltage to feed the
initial current before the chip wakes up.
6.) VINOK comparator is added to guaranteed PWM
cannot turn on until VFB reaches 2.5V in which PFC
boost output is about steady state, typical 380V.
7.) A 10mS digital PWM soft start circuit is added
8.) 9 pin SIP package
9.) No internal Zener but with VCCOVP comparator
Detailed Pin Descriptions
DCILIMIT (Pin 1)
This pin is tied to the primary side PWM current sense
resistor or transformer. It provides the internal pulse-by-pulse
current limit for the PWM stage (which occurs at 1.5V) and
the peak current mode feedback path for the current mode
control of the PWM stage. Besides current information, the
optocouple also goes into DCILIMIT pin. Therefore, it is the
SUM Amplifier input.
VCC (Pin 2)
VCC is the power input connection to the IC. The VCC
start-up current is 100uA. The no-load ICC current is 2mA.
VCC quiescent current will include both the IC biasing
currents and the PFC and PWM output currents. Given the
operating frequency and the MOSFET gate charge (Qg),
average PFC and PWM output currents can be calculated as
IOUT = Qg x F. The average magnetizing current required for
any gate drive transformers must also be included. The VCC
pin is also assumed to be proportional to the PFC output
voltage. Internally it is tied to the VCC OVP comparator
(17.9V) providing redundant high-speed over-voltage
protection (OVP) of the PFC stage. VCC also ties internally
to the UVLO circuitry and VREFOK comparator, enabling the
IC at 13V and disabling it at 10V. VCC must be bypassed
with a high quality ceramic bypass capacitor placed as close
as possible to the IC. Good bypassing is critical to the proper
operation of the CM6903A.
VCC is typically produced by an additional winding off the
boost inductor or PFC Choke, providing a voltage that is
proportional to the PFC output voltage. Since the VCC OVP
max voltage is 17.9V, an internal shunt limits VCC
overvoltage to an acceptable value. An external clamp, such
as shown in Figure 1, is desirable but not necessary.
VCC
The CM6903A operates both PFC and PWM sections at
67kHz. This allows the use of smaller PWM magnetic and
output filter components, while minimizing switching losses
in the PFC stage.
Several protection features have been built into the
CM6903A. These include soft-start, redundant PFC
overvoltage protection, Tri-Fault Detect, VINOK, peak
current limiting, duty cycle limiting, under-voltage lockout,
reference ok comparator and VCCOVP.

1.) This limits the maximum VCC that can be applied to
the IC while allowing a VCC which is high enough to
trip the VCC OVP. An RC filter at VCC is required
between boost trap winding and VCC.

Low Pin Count PFC/PWM CONTROLLER COMBO
PFC OUT (Pin 4) and PWM OUT (Pin3)
PFC OUT and PWM OUT are the high-current power driver
capable of directly driving the gate of a power MOSFET
with peak currents up to -1A and +0.5A. Both outputs are
actively held low when VCC is below the UVLO threshold
level which is 13V or VREFOK comparator is low.
GND (Pin 5)
GND is the return point for all circuits associated with this
part. Note: a high-quality, low impedance ground is critical
to the proper operation of the IC. High frequency grounding
techniques should be used.
ISENSE (Pin 6)
This pin ties to a resistor which senses the PFC input
current. This signal should be negative with respect to the
IC ground. It internally feeds the pulse-by-pulse current limit
comparator and the current sense feedback signal. The
ILIMIT trip level is –1V. The ISENSE feedback is internally
multiplied by a gain of four and compared against the
internal programmed ramp to set the PFC duty cycle. The
intersection of the boost inductor current downslope with
the internal programming ramp determines the boost
off-time.
It requires a RC filter between ISENSE and PFC boost
sensing resistor.
VEAO (Pin 7)
This is the PFC slew rate enhanced transconductance
amplifier output which needs to connected with a
compensation network.
VFB (Pin 8)
Besides this is the PFC slew rate enhanced
transconductance input, it also tie to a couple of protection
comparators, PFCOVP, and Tri-Fault Detect
IAC (pin 9)
Typically, it has a feedforward resistor, RAC, based on your
demand, more than 800K ohm resistor connected between
this pin and rectified line input voltage.
This pin serves 2 purposes:
1.) During the startup condition, it supplies the startup
current; therefore, the system does not requires
additional bleed resistor to start up the chip.
2.) The current of RAC will program the automatic
slope compensation for the system. This
feedforward signal can increase the signal to noise
ratio for the light load condition or the high input
line voltage condition.
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
2008/10/20 Rev1.4
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 CM6903A 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 draws
from the power line matches the instantaneous 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 385VFB, to allow
for a high line of 270VACrms. The other condition is that the
current that the converter is allowed to draw from the line at
any given instant must be proportional to the line voltage.
PFC Control: Leading Edge Modulation with Input
Current Shaping Technique
(I.C.S.T.)
The only differences between the conventional PFC control
topology and I.C.S.T. is:
the current loop of the conventional control method is a close
loop method and it requires a detail understanding about the
system loop gain to design. With I.C.S.T., since the current
loop is an open loop, it is very straightforward to implement it.
The end result of the any PFC system, the power supply is
like a pure resistor at low frequency. Therefore, current is in
phase with voltage.
In the conventional control, it forces the input current to
follow the input voltage. In CM6903A, the chip thinks if a
boost converter needs to behave like a low frequency
resistor, what the duty cycle should be.
The following equations is CM6903A try to achieve:

Equation 2 means: average boost inductor current equals
to input current.
∴Vin × I l ≈ Vout × I d
(3)
Id × d ' =
Therefore, input instantaneous power is about to equal to
the output instantaneous power.
∴ Id =
For steady state and for the each phase angle, boost
converter DC equation at continuous conduction mode is:
∴ Id =

Rearrange above equations, (1), (2),(3), and (4) in term of
Vout and d, boost converter duty cycle and we can get
average boost diode current equation (5):
Id =
(1 − d ) 2 × Vout
Re

Also, the average diode current can be expressed as:
Id =

(6)
If the value of the boost inductor is large enough, we can
assume
I d (t ) ~ I d .
It means during each cycle or we
can say during the sampling, the diode current is a
constant.
Therefore, equation (6) becomes:
Id =
I d × toff

= I d × d ' = I d × (1 − d )

From this simple equation (8), we implement the PFC control
section of the CM6903A.
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.
When the modulating ramp reaches the level of the error
amplifier output voltage, the switch will be turned OFF. When
the switch is ON, the inductor current will ramp up. The
effective duty cycle of the trailing edge modulation is
determined during the ON time of the switch. Figure 2 shows
a typical trailing edge control scheme.
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 3 shows a leading
edge control scheme.
Combine equation (7) and equation (5), and we get:

Low Pin Count PFC/PWM CONTROLLER COMBO
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,
substantially reducing dissipation in the high-voltage PFC
capacitor.
Typical Applications
PFC Section:
PFC Voltage Loop Error Amp, VEAO
The ML4803 utilizes an one pin voltage error amplifier in
the PFC section (VEAO). In the CM6903A, it is using the
slew rate enhanced transconductance amplifier, which is
the same as error amplifier in the CM6800. The unique
transconductance profile can speed up the conventional
transient response by 10 times. The internal reference of
the VEAO is 2.5V. The input of the VEAO is VFB pin.
PFC Voltage Loop Compensation
The voltage-loop bandwidth must be set to less than 120Hz
to limit the amount of line current harmonic distortion. A
typical crossover frequency is 30Hz.

CDC: PFC Boost Output Capacitor
ΔVEAO: This is the necessary change of the VEAO to deliver
the designed average input power. The average value is
6V-3V=3V since when the input line voltage increases, the
delta VEAO will be reduced to deliver the same to the output.
To over compensate, we choose the delta VEAO is 3V.
Internal Voltage Ramp
The internal ramp current source is programmed by way of
VEAO pin voltage. When VEAO increases the ramp current
source is also increase. This current source is used to
develop the internal ramp by charging the internal 30pF +12/
-10% capacitor. The frequency of the internal programming
ramp is set internally to 67kHz.
Design PFC ISENSE Filtering
ISENSE Filter, the RC filter between Rs and ISENSE:
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.) 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.

Low Pin Count PFC/PWM CONTROLLER COMBO
The ISENSE Filter is a RC filter. The resistor value of the
ISENSE Filter is between 100 ohm and 50 ohm. 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.
IAC, RAC, Automatic Slope Compensation, DCM at high line
and light load, and Startup current
There are 4 purposes for IAC pin:
1.) For the leading edge modulation, when the duty
cycle is less than 50%, it requires the similar slope
compensation, as the duty cycle of the trailing
edge modulation is greater than 50%. In the
CM6903A, it is a relatively easy thing to design.
Use a more than 800K ohm resistor for your
demand, RAC to connect IAC pin and the rectified
line voltage. It will do the automatic slope
compensation. If the input boost inductor is too
small, the RAC may need to be reduced more.
2.) During the startup period, Rac also provides the
initial startup current, 100uA;therefore, the bleed
resistor is not needed.
3.) Since IAC pin with RAC behaves as a feedforward
signal, it also enhances the signal to noise ratio
and the THD of the input current.
4.) It also will try to keep the maximum input power to
be constant. However, the maximum input power
will still go up when the input line voltage goes up.
Start Up of the system, UVLO, and VREFOK
During the Start-up period, RAC resistor will provide the start
up current~100uA from the rectified line voltage to IAC pin.
Inside of CM6903A during the start-up period, IAC is
connected to VCC until the VCC reaches UVLO voltage
which is 13V and internal reference voltage is stable, it will
disconnect itself from VCC.
PFC section wakes up after Start up period
After Start up period, PFC section will softly start since
VEAO is zero before the start-up period. Since VEAO is a
slew rate enhanced transconductance amplifier (see figure
3), VEAO has a high impedance output like a current
source and it will slowly charge the compensation net work
which needs to be designed by using the voltage loop gain
equation.
Before PFC boost output reaches its design voltage, it is
around 380V and VFB reaches 2.5V, PWM section is off.
2008/10/20 Rev1.4
PWM section wakes up after PFC reaches steady state
PWM section is off all the time before PFC VFB reaches
2.45V. Then internal 10mS digital PWM soft start circuit
slowly ramps up the soft-start voltage.
PFC OVP Comparator
PFC OVP Comparator sense VFB pin which is the same the
voltage loop input. The good thing is the compensation
network is connected to VEAO. The PFC OVP function is a
relative fast OVP. It is not like the conventional error amplifier
which is an operational amplifier and it requires a local
feedback and it make the OVP action becomes very slow.
The threshold of the PFC OVP is 2.5V+10% =2.75V with
250mV hysteresis.
Tri-Fault Detect Comparator
To improve power supply reliability, reduce system
component count, and simplify compliance to UL1950 safety
standards, the CM6903A includes Tri-Fault Detect. This
feature monitors VFB (Pin 8) for certain PFC fault conditions.
In case of a feedback path failure, the output of the PFC
could go out of safe operating limits. With such a failure, VFB
will go outside of its normal operating area. Should VFB go
too low, too high, or open, Tri-Fault Detect senses the error
and terminates the PFC output drive.
Tri-Fault detect is an entirely internal circuit. It requires no
external components to serve its protective function.
VCC OVP and generate VCC
For the CM6903A system, if VCC is generated from a source
that is proportional to the PFC output voltage and once that
source reaches 17.9V, PFCOUT, PFC driver will be off.
The VCC OVP resets once the VCC discharges below
16.4V, PFC output driver is enabled. It serves as redundant
PFC OVP function.
Typically, there is a bootstrap winding off the boost inductor.
The VCC OVP comparator senses when this voltage
exceeds 17.9V, and terminates the PFC output drive. Once
the VCC rail has decreased to below 16.4V the PFC output
drive be enabled. Given that 16V on VCC corresponds to
380V on the PFC output, 17.9V on VCC corresponds to an
OVP level of 460V.
It is a necessary to put RC filter between bootstrap winding
and VCC. For VCC=13V, it is sufficient to drive either a
power MOSFET or a IGBT.

UVLO
The UVLO threshold is 13V providing 3V hysteresis.
PFCOUT and PWMOUT
Both PFCOUT and PWMOUT are CMOS drivers. They both
have adaptive anti-shoot through to reduce the switching
loss. Its pull-up is a 30ohm PMOS driver and its pull-down
is a 15ohm NMOS driver. It can source 0.5A and sink 1A if
the VCC is above 13V.
PWM Section
After 10mS digital soft start, CM6903A’s PWM is operating
as a typical current mode. It requires a secondary
feedback, typically, it is configured with CM431, and photo
couple.
Since PWM Section is different from CM6800 family, it
needs the emitter of the photo couple to connected with
DCILIMIT instead of the collector. The PWM current
information also goes into DCILIMIT. Usually, the PWM
current information requires a RC filter before goes into the
DCILIMIT.
2008/10/20 Rev1.4
Therefore, DCILIMIT actually is a summing node from
voltage information which is from photo couple and CM431
and current information which is from one end of PWM
sensing resistor and the signal goes through a single pole,
RC filter then enter the DCILIMIT pin.
This RC filter at DCILMIT also serves several functions:
1.) It protects IC.
2.) It provides level shift for voltage information.
3.) It filters the switching noise from current information.
The pole location of the RC filter should be greater than one
sixth of the PWM switching frequency which is 67Khz for
CM6903A and which is 134Khz for CM6903A. Since the
typical photo couple should be biased around 1mA, the
resistor of the RC filter should be around 1.5V/1mA~1.5K
ohm and we suggest R is 1K ohm.
Therefore, for
CM6903A, C should be around 14nF.
The maximum input voltage of the DCILIMIT pin is 1.5V.
Component Reduction
Components associated with the VRMS and IEAO pins of a
typical PFC controller such as the CM6800 have been
eliminated. The PFC power limit and bandwidth does vary
with line voltage. Double the power can be delivered from a
220V AC line versus a 110V AC line. Since this is a
combination PFC/PWM, the power to the load is limited by
the PWM stage.
