May 1997 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. e e S e s a Ple BLOCK DIAGRAM ■ ■ ■ ■ Wide common mode range in current sense compensators for better noise immunity Under-Voltage Lockout circuit with 6V hysteresis w e N for * Some Packages Are Obsolete 4 2 8 Ml4 PWM CONTROLLER OSC CT RAMP COMP s n g i Des DUTY CYCLE ILIM – 12 ■ SLOPE COMPENSATION + 20 RT ■ + 10 ■ Two 1A peak current totem-pole output drivers Precision buffered 5V reference (±1%) Large oscillator amplitude for better noise immunity Precision duty cycle limit for PWM section Current input gain modulator improves noise immunity Programmable Ramp Compensation circuit Over-Voltage comparator helps prevent output “runaway” – The PFC section is of the peak current sensing boost type, using a current sense transformer or current sensing MOSFETs to non-dissipatively sense switch current.

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. +5V DUTY CYCLE 7 + ISET 5V VREF 10 RT ISET The oscillator period can be described by the following relationship: 20 tOSC = tRAMP + tDEADTIME + CT CLOCK – TO PWM LATCHES 8.4mA where: t RAMP = TO PWM LATCH B – C(Ramp Valley to Peak) ISET Q1 and: t DEADTIME = C(Ramp Valley to Peak) 8.4mA - ISET The maximum duty cycle of the PWM section can be limited by setting a threshold on pin 7. when the CT ramp is above the threshold at pin 7, the PWM output is held off and the PWM flip-flop is set: DLIMIT ≅ D OSC × (VPIN7 - 0.9) 3.4 CLOCK tD RAMP PEAK CT RAMP VALLEY where: DLIMIT = Desired duty cycle limit DOSC = Oscillator duty cycle Figure 1.

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.

Reference Load Regulation 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. APPLICATIONS VOUT = ] VINDRY: Voltage where the inductor dries out. VOUT: Output dc voltage. TA = 25 C IREF, REFERENCE SOURCE CURRENT (mA) 8 ] VIN(t) < VOUT × 1− DON(MAX) –8.0 (1) 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.

Typical Application, 180W Power Factor Corrected 12V Output Power Supply 9 ML4819 then: ILDRY = 100mA CURRENT SENSE AND SLOPE (RAMP) COMPENSATION COMPONENT SELECTION Step 3: The value of the inductance can now be found using previously calculated data. L1 = = VINDRY × DON(MAX) IL(DRY) × fOSC 20V × 0.95 = 2mH 100mA × 100kHz (5) The inductor can be allowed to decrease in value when 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 (6) 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: diL VB − VIN DRY 380V − 20V = = = 0.18 A / µs dt L 2mH The downslope as reflected to the input of the PWM comparator is given by: SPWM = VB − VIN DRY t ×I CT = OFF DIS = 1000pF VOSC (7) 1.36 = 1.36 fOSC × CT 100kHz × 1000pF = 13.6kΩ. Choose R T = 14kΩ. 10 × R11 NC 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. (8) (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: (9) (11) ML4819 The value of R9 (pin 3) depends on the selection of R2 (pin 6). R2 = R9 > VIN(MAX) PEAK ISINE (PEAK) = 260 × 1.414 = 510kΩ 0.72mA VCLAMP × R2 4.8 × 510kΩ = 22kΩ = 80 × 1.414 VIN(MIN) PEAK (12) (13) Choose R9 = 27kW The peak of the inductor current can be found approximately by: ILPEAK = 1.414 × POUT 1.414 × 200 = = 3.14A VIN (MIN) RMS 90 VCLAMP × NC 4.9 × 80 = = 100Ω ILPEAK 4 2 (14) (15) Having calculated R11 the value SPWM and of R18 can now be calculated: SPWM = 380V − 20 × 100 = 0.225V / µs 2mH 80 R18 = (17) 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. R11 = VOLTAGE REGULATION COMPONENTS Then R6 can be calculated using the formula below: V × R5 5V × 356kΩ R6 = REF = = 4.747kΩ VB − VREF 380V − 5V (18) 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: C8 = 1 3.142 × R5 × BW C8 = 1 = 0.44µF 3.142 × 356kΩ × 2Hz (19) 2.5 × R 9 ASC × SPWM × R T × CT 2.5 × 28.8k 6 0.7 × (0.225 × 10 ) × 14kΩ × 1nF ≅ 30kΩ (16) Choose R18 = 33kW The following values were used in the calculation: R9 = 27kW RT = 14kW ASC = 0.7 CT = 1nF 11 ML4819 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 = 5V × 356kΩ = 4.564kΩ VOVP − VREF 395V − 5V 385VDC Q2 T2 D12 (20) D11 T3 Choose 4.53kW, 1%. Note that R5, R6, R7 and R8 should be tight tolerance resistors such as 1% or better. Q3 ML4819 T2 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.

Start-Up Circuit 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. 12 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 R28 Q6 IRF821 Q5 2N2222 Figure 14. Two-Switch Forward Converter (21) 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: I VR = R18 × R(V) 2 (22) 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. ML4819 VREF OSC SLOPE COMP.

Voltage Mode Configuration 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. 13 ML4819 Component Values/Bill of Materials for Figure 12 Reference Reference Description C1, C3 0.6µF, 630V Film (250 VAC) C2 330µF 25V Electrolytic C4 6800pF 1KV Ceramic C5, C6 1000pF C7 10µF 35V C8, C11, C13, C15, C16 1µF Ceramic C9, C20, C21 0.1µF Ceramic C10 1500µF 25V Electrolytic C12, C17 1µF Ceramic C14 2200 pF C18 1500µF 16V Electrolytic C19 4.7µF D1- D5 1N5406 D6 MUR850 D7, D10 1N4148 D8 3V Zener diode or 4 x 1N4148 in series D9 MUR110 D11, D12 MUR150 D13 D83-004K D15 1N4001 D16, D14 1N5818 or 1N5819 F1 5A, 250V, 3AG L1 2mH, 4A IPEAK Core: Ferroxcube 4229-3CB 150 Turns #24 AWG 0.150" gap L2 10mH Core: Spang OF 43019 UG00 8 Turns #15AWG gap 0.05" Description R4 12ký R5, R7 357ký, 1% R6 4.57ký, 1% R8 4.53ký, 1% R9 27ký R10, R18 33ký R11 91ý R12, R22 10ý R13, R14 4.7ký R15 4.3ký R16 15ký R17 3ý R20 7.5ý R21,R19 3ký R23 100ý R24, R25 1ý R26 1.5ký R27 1.2ký R28 8.66ký, 1% R29 2.26ký, 1% R30 2ký, 1W R32, R33 2ký T1 Spang F41206-TC or Siemens B64290-K45-X27 or X830 or Ferroxcube 768T188-38 NS = 80, NP = 1 T2 Same core as T1 NS = NP = 15 bifilar T3 Core: Ferroxcube 4229-3C8 Pri. 44 Turns #18 Litz wire Sec. 4 Turns of copper strip Aux. 2 Turns #24 AWG Q1-Q3 IRF840 Q4, Q5 2N2222 Q6 IRF821 U2 MOC8102 R1 330ký U3 TL431 R2, R31 510ký R3 5.6ký 14 ML4819 PHYSICAL DIMENSIONS inches (millimeters) Package: P20 20-Pin PDIP 1.010 - 1.035 (25.65 - 26.29) 20 0.240 - 0.260 0.295 - 0.325 (6.09 - 6.61) (7.49 - 8.26) PIN 1 ID 1 0.060 MIN (1.52 MIN) (4 PLACES) 0.055 - 0.065 (1.40 - 1.65) 0.100 BSC (2.54 BSC) 0.015 MIN (0.38 MIN) 0.170 MAX (4.32 MAX) 0.125 MIN (3.18 MIN) 0.016 - 0.022 (0.40 - 0.56) SEATING PLANE 0.008 - 0.012 (0.20 - 0.31) 0º - 15º ORDERING INFORMATION PART NUMBER ML4819CP ML4819CS (Obsolete) TEMPERATURE RANGE 0°C to 70°C 0°C to 70°C PACKAGE Molded DIP (P20) Molded SOIC (S20) © Micro Linear 1997 is a registered trademark of Micro Linear Corporation Products described in this document may be covered by one or more of the following patents, U.S.: 4,897,611; 4,964,026; 5,027,116; 5,281,862; 5,283,483; 5,418,502; 5,508,570; 5,510,727; 5,523,940; 5,546,017; 5,559,470; 5,565,761; 5,592,128; 5,594,376; Japan: 2598946; 2619299.
