The LT ® 1508 is a complete solution for universal off-line
switching power supplies utilizing active power factor
correction. The PFC section is identical to the LT1248 PFC
controller except the EN/SYNC pin is removed because
PFC and PWM are synchronized internally.
PFC and PWM Single Chip Solution
Synchronized Operation up to 300kHz
99% Power Factor Over 20:1 Load Current Range
Voltage Mode PWM
Instantaneous Overvoltage Protection
Dedicated Overvoltage Protection (OVP Pin)
Minimal Line Current Dead Zone
Typical 250µA Start-Up Supply Current
Line Switching Noise Filter
Low Quiescent Current: 13mA
Fast 1.5A Peak Current Gate Drivers
Separate Soft Start Control
The voltage mode PWM section (LT1509 is the current
mode counterpart) contains all the primary side functions
to convert the PFC preregulated high voltage output to an
isolated low voltage output. The PWM duty cycle is
internally limited to 47% (maximum 50%) to prevent
transformer saturation. PWM soft start begins when the
PFC output reaches the preset voltage. In the event of brief
line loss, PWM will be shut off when the PFC output
voltage drops below 73% of the preset value.

switching noise which can cause instability when fed into
the multiplier. Line current dead zone is minimized with
low bias voltage at the current input to the multiplier. The
LT1508 provides many protection features including peak
current limiting and overvoltage protection. Implemented
with a very high speed process, the LT1508 can be
operated at frequencies as high as 300kHz.
U
By using fixed high frequency PWM current averaging
without the need for slope compensation, the LT1508
achieves far lower line current distortion with a smaller
magnetic element than systems that use either peak
current detection, or zero current switching approach, in
both continuous and discontinuous modes of operation.
The LT1508 also provides filtering capability to reject line

(For application help with the PFC portion of this chip, see the LT1248 data sheet)
PFC SECTION
GTDR1 (Pin 1): The PFC MOSFET gate driver is a fast
totem pole output which is clamped at 15V. Capacitive
loads like the MOSFET gates may cause overshoot. A gate
series resistor of at least 5Ω will prevent the overshoot.
GND2 (Pin 2): Power Ground. High current spikes occur
in this line when either GTDR1 or GTDR2 switches low.
GND1 (Pin 3): Analog Ground.
CSET (Pin 4): The capacitor from this pin to GND and RSET
determines oscillator frequency. The oscillator ramp is 5V
and the frequency = 1.5/(RSET CSET).
PKLIM (Pin 5): The threshold of the peak current limit
comparator is GND. To set current limit, a resistor divider
can be connected from VREF to the current sense resistor.
IAC (Pin 9): This is the AC line voltage sensing input to the
multiplier. It is a current input that is biased at 2V to
minimize the crossover dead zone caused by low line
voltage. At the pin, a 25k resistor is in series with the
current input, so that a lowpass RC can be used to filter out
the switching noise coming down from the line with a high
line impedance environment.
VAOUT (Pin 10): This is the output of the voltage error
amplifier. The output is clamped at 13.5V. When the
output goes below 2.5V, the multiplier output current is
zero.
CAOUT (Pin 6): This is the output of the current amplifier
that senses and forces the line current to follow the
reference signal that comes from the multiplier by commanding the pulse width modulator. When CAOUT is low,
the modulator has zero duty cycle.
OVP (Pin 11): This is the input to the overvoltage comparator. The threshold is 1.05 times the reference voltage.
When the comparator trips, the multiplier, which is quickly
inhibited, blanks PFC switching to prevent further overshoot. This pin is also the input to the PWMOK comparator
that releases the PWM soft start (SS2) after the PFC output
gets close to the final voltage and has a hysteresis of
approximately 150V for 382V PFC output.
ISENSE (Pin 7): This is the inverting input of the current
amplifier. This pin is clamped at – 0.6V by an ESD protection diode.
VREF (Pin 12): This is the 7.5V reference. When VCC goes
low, VREF will stay at 0V. VREF biases most of the internal
circuitry and can source up to 5mA externally.
MOUT (Pin 8): This is the multiplier high impedance
current output and the noninverting input of the current
amplifier. This pin is clamped at – 0.6V and 3V.
VSENSE (Pin 14): This is the inverting input to the voltage
amplifier.

PIN FUNCTIONS
(For application help with the PFC portion of this chip, see the LT1248 data sheet)
RSET (Pin 15): A resistor from RSET to GND sets the
oscillator charging current and the maximum multiplier
output current which is used to limit the maximum line
current.
IM(MAX) = 3.75V/RSET
SS1 (Pin 16): Soft Start. SS1 is reset to zero for low VCC.
When VCC rises above the lockout threshold, SS1 is
released to ramp up at a rate set by the internal 12µA
current source and an external capacitor. During this ramp
up, PFC reference voltage is equal to SS1 voltage. After
SS1 rises past 7.5V, reference voltage remains at 7.5V.
VCC (Pin 17): This is the supply for the chip. The LT1508
has two fast gate drivers required to fast charge high
power MOSFET gate capacitances. Good supply bypassing is required consisting of a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor in
parallel with a low ESR electrolytic capacitor (56µF or
higher) in close proximity to IC GND.
PWM SECTION
SS2 (Pin 13): PWM Soft Start. The comparator PWMOK
monitors the OVP pin and releases the SS2 after the PFC
output gets close to the final voltage.
VC (Pin 18): PWM voltage mode control voltage. Normally
connects to the optocoupler amplifier output. A pull-up
current of 50µA flows out of the pin.
ILIM (Pin 19): PWM current sense input with limit set to
1.1V.
GTDR2 (Pin 20): The PWM MOSFET gate driver is a 1.5A
fast totem pole output. It is clamped at 15V. Capacitive
loads like the MOSFET gates may cause overshoot. A gate
series resistor of at least 5Ω will prevent the overshoot.

0.047µF
The voltage error amplifier has a 100dB DC gain and 3MHz
unity-gain frequency. The output is internally clamped at
13.3V with VCC = 18V. Maximum error amp output voltage
decreases to VCC – 1.5V for VCC less than 12V. The
noninverting input is tied to the 7.5VREF through a diode
and can be pulled down with the SS1 pin. Referring to
Figure 1, VOUT = VREF [(R1 + R2)/R2]. With R1 = 1M and
R2 = 20k, VOUT = 382V. R1 through R4, C1 and C2 form the
compensation for the voltage loop. Gain of the voltage

85/(j)(f). At very low frequencies, the loop has a – 40dB/
decade slope. Additional zero-pole compensation is added
at 1Hz and 11Hz. The resulting loop gain and phase margin
is shown in Figure 3. The unity-gain bandwidth is low
compared to 120Hz, which results in low distortion and a
high power factor.

Current Amplifier (PFC Section)
The current amplifier has a 110dB DC gain, 3MHz unitygain frequency and a 2V/µs slew rate. It is internally
clamped at 8.5V. Note that in the current averaging operation, high gain at twice the line frequency is necessary to
minimize line current distortion. Because CAOUT may need
to swing 5V over one line cycle at high line condition,
20mV AC will be needed at the inputs of the current
amplifier for a gain of 260 at 120Hz. Especially at light load
when the current loop reference signal is small, lower gain
will distort the reference signal and line current. But, if
signal gain at switching frequency is too high, the system
behaves more like a current mode system and can cause
subharmonic oscillation.

The current error amp, with R5 = 4k, R6 = 20k, C3 =
0.001µF and C4 = 300pF, provides zero pole compensation resulting in 16kHz loop crossover frequency. The
current amp gain at 100kHz is 1.7. The resulting current
loop gain and phase margin is shown in Figure 4.

Multiplier
The multiplier has high noise immunity and superior
linearity over its full operating range. The current gain is
IM = (IACIEA2)/(200µA2) with IEA = (VAOUT – 2V)/ 25k. The

multiplier is:

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

See Figure 2 for RREF.
VAOUT is squared in the multiplier, resulting in excellent
performance over a wide range of output power and input
voltage without the addition of feedforward line frequency
ripple. Care must be taken to avoid feeding switching
frequency noise into the multiplier from the IAC pin. An
internal 25k is provided in series with the low impedance
multiplier input so that only a capacitor from the IAC pin to
GND1 is required to filter noise. The maximum multiplier
output current, which ultimately limits the input line current, is set by a resistor from the RSET pin to GND1
according to the formula: IM(MAX) = 3.75V/RSET. Figure 5
shows IM versus IAC for various values of VAOUT. Note that

Oscillator Frequency and Maximum
Line Current Setting
The oscillator frequency is set by RSET and CSET. RSET is
the resistor from the RSET pin to GND1 and CSET is the
capacitor from the CSET pin to GND1. RSET should be
determined first. The oscillator frequency, which is equal
to the switching frequency for both the PFC and PWM
section, is determined by:
1.5
fOSC =
(RSET)(CSET)
The multiplier output acts as the command signal to the
current loop error amplifier. During steady-state operation
the voltage across RREF = (IM)(RREF) = (IIN)(RS). Based on
this the value for RS is determined by:
RS ≤
(IM(MAX))(RREF)(VIN)(eff)
POUT √2
with RSET = 15k, IM(MAX) = 3.75/15k = 250µA. For a 300W
converter with an efficiency (eff) of 0.8 at low line (90VRMS)
and RREF set to 4k, RS should be less than:
(250µA)(4k)(90VAC)(0.8)
300W√2
= 0.169Ω
A 0.15Ω resistor will yield a maximum peak input current
of (IM(MAX))(RREF/RS) = (250µA)(4k)/0.15Ω = 6.67A. For
a 100kHz switching frequency with RSET = 15k, CSET = 1.5/
(100kHz)(15k) = 1nF. For added protection the LT1508
provides a second independent current limit comparator.
When the input voltage to the comparator (PKLIM pin) dips
below 0V, GTDR1 pin quickly goes low turning off the PFC
power switch. A resistor divider from VREF to RS (Figure 6)
senses the voltage across the line current sense resistor
(RS) and limits the peak input line current to [(7.5V/R1) +
50µA] (R2/RS). The 50µA represents the PKLIM input
current which flows out of the PKLIM pin. With R1 = 10k
and R2 = 1.8k, IIN = 9.6A peak above the 6.67A peak
average plus the input inductor peak ripple current.
Always use RSET to set the primary line current limit. The
PKLIM comparator is only for secondary protection. When
the line current reaches the primary limit, VOUT can no
longer be supported with the given input current and
begins to fall. System stability is maintained by the current
loop which is controlled by the current amplifier. When the

Overvoltage Protection (PFC Section)
Because of the slow loop response necessary for power
factor correction, output overshoot can occur following a
sudden load reduction or removal. To protect downstream
components, the LT1508 provides an overvoltage comparator which senses the output voltage and quickly
reduces the line current demand. Referring back to Figure
1, VOUT is 382V and during normal operation, since no
current flows in R3, 7.5V appears at both the VSENSE and
OVP pins. When VOUT overshoots its preset value, the
overcurrent from R1 will flow through R2 as well as R3.
The voltage amplifier feedback will keep VSENSE at 7.5V.
Therefore, the equivalent AC resistance seen by the OVP
pin is R2 in parallel with R3 or 10k. With these values and
the overvoltage comparator trip level internally set at
1.05VREF, the comparator trips when VOUT overshoots
10%. Overvoltage trip level is given by:
(%)VOUT = 5%
(
R2 + R3
R3
)
For additional protection, the OVP pin can be connected
to VOUT through an independent resistor divider (see
Figure 7). This ensures overvoltage protection during
safety agency abnormal testing conditions, such as
opening R1 or shorting R2.
The output of the multiplier looks like a high impedance
current source. In the current loop, offset line current is
determined by multiplier offset current and input offset
voltage of the current error amplifier. A – 4mV current
amplifier VOS translates to 27mA line current and 6.7W
input power for 250VAC line if a 0.15Ω sense resistor is
used. Under a no-load condition or when the load power
is less than the offset output power, the offset line current
could slowly charge the output to an overvoltage level.
This is because the best the overvoltage comparator can
do is to reduce the multiplier output current to zero.
Unfortunately, this does not guarantee zero output current
if the current amplifier has offset. To regulate VOUT under

this condition, the amplifier M1 (see Block Diagram)
becomes active. When VAOUT reduces to 2.2V, M1 supplies up to 7µA of current to the resistor at the ISENSE pin
in order to cancel a negative VOS and keep VOUT error to
within 2V.
Undervoltage Lockouts and Soft Start
The LT1508 turns on when VCC reaches 16V and remains
on until VCC falls below 10V, whereupon the chip enters the
lockout state. In the lockout state, the oscillator is off and
the VREF and gate driver pins remain low. A capacitor from
SS1 to GND1 determines the ramp-up time of the PFC
section. SS1 is released from a zero when VCC rises above
the lockout threshold. Once released, an internal 14µA
current source ramps the voltage error amplifier’s reference voltage to 7.5V. SS1 voltage then continues beyond
7.5V. A second capacitor from SS2 to GND1 determines
the start-up time from the PWM section. A PWMOK
comparator (see Block Diagram) holds SS2 low until the
OVP pin reaches 7V. This corresponds to the PFC output
voltage reaching approximately 93% of its preset voltage.
SS2 is diode coupled to the PMW comparator which is
connected to the VC pin by a second diode. Holding SS2
low at any time will disable PWM output. Once released,
the 14µA current source ramps the PWM comparator

input up to VC and then the SS2 voltage continues beyond
VC. The PWMOK comparator contains hysteresis and will
pull SS2 low disabling the PWM section if the PFC output
voltage falls below approximately 62% of its preset value
(240V with nominal 382V output).
Output Capacitor (PFC Section)
Start-Up and Supply Voltage
The peak-to-peak 120Hz PFC output ripple is determined by:
The LT1508 draws only 250µA before the chip starts at
16V on VCC. To trickle start, a 91k resistor from the power
line to VCC supplies trickle current, and C4 holds VCC up
while switching starts (see Figure 8); then the auxiliary
winding takes over and supplies the operating current.
Note that D3 and the larger values of C3 are only necessary
for systems that have sudden large load variations down
to minimum load and/or very light load conditions. Under
these conditions the loop may exhibit a start/restart mode
because switching remains off long enough for C4 to
discharge below 10V. Large values for C3 will hold VCC up
until switching resumes. For less severe load variations D3
is replaced with a short and C3 is omitted. The turns ratio
between the primary winding determines VCC
according to :
for 382V VOUT and 18V VCC, Np/Ns ≈ 19.

where ILOAD(DC) is the DC load current of the PWM stage
and Z is the capacitor impedance at 120Hz.
For 470µF, impedance is 2.8Ω at 120Hz. At 335W load,
ILOAD(DC) = 335V/382V = 0.88A, VP-P = (2)(0.88)(2.8Ω) =
5V. If less ripple is desired higher capacitance should be
used. The selection of the output capacitor is based on
voltage ripple, hold-up time and ripple current. Assuming
the DC converter (PWM section) is designed to operate
with 240V to 382VIN , the minimum hold-up time is a
function of the energy storage capacity of the capacitor:

GTDR2 (PWM) pulse is synchronized to GTDR1 (PFC) pulse

The second component is made up of switching frequency
components due to the PFC stage charging the capacitor
and the PWM stage discharging the capacitor. For a 300W
output PFC forward converter running from an input
voltage of 100VRMS, the total high frequency ripple current
was measured to be 1.79ARMS.
For the United Chemicon KMH 450V capacitor series,
ripple current at 100kHz is specified 1.43 times higher
than the 120Hz limit.

For longer life a capacitor with a higher ripple current rating
or parallel capacitors should be used.
PWM Comparators
The LT1508 includes two comparators in the PWM section
which implement voltage mode PWM control. The VC or
control voltage pin sets duty factor. An additional current
limit comparator turns GTDR2 off in the event the ILIM pin
voltage exceeds 1.1V. On-chip blanking avoids reset due
to leading edge noise.
Typical Application
Figure 9 shows a 24VDC, 300W power factor corrected,
universal input supply. The 2-transistor forward converter
offers many benefits including low peak currents,
nondissipative snubber, 500VDC switches and automatic
core reset guaranteed by the LT1508’s 50% maximum
duty cycle.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
An LT1431 reference/amplifier coupled to a low cost
optoisolator closes the loop from secondary side to primary side. Efficiency versus power and line voltage is
shown in Figure 10. The PFC preregulator alone has
efficiency numbers between 90% and 97% over line and
load.
A 3-turn secondary added to the 70-turn primary of T1
bootstraps VCC to about 15V supplying the chip’s 13mA
requirement as well as about 39mA to cover the gate
current of the three FETs and high side transformer. A
0.15Ω sense resistor is used to sense input current and
servo to the command created by the outer voltage and
multiplier. Thus the input current follows the input line
voltage, and changes as necessary, in order to maintain
constant bank voltage. The forward converter sees a
voltage input of 382VDC unless the line voltage drops out,
in which case the 330µF main capacitor discharges to
240VDC before the PWM stage is shut down. Compared to
a typical off-line converter, the effective input voltage
range of the forward converter is much smaller, simplifying the design. Additionally, the higher bus voltage provides greater hold-up times for given capacitor size.
