Power Factor Correction Converter Design with FAN6982
Introduction
The FAN6982 is a 14-pin, Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM) Power Factor Correction (PFC) controller IC, that employs leading-edge modulation for average current control and has a number of advanced features for better performance and reliability. The variable output voltage function (range function) reduces PFC output voltage at light-load and low-line conditions to improve light-load efficiency, but can be also easily disabled using EN pin. The RDY signal can be used for power-on sequence control of the downstream DC/DC converter. A TriFault Detect™ function helps reduce external components and provides full protection for feedback loops such as open, short, and over voltage. FAN6982 also includes PFC softstart, peak current limiting, line feed-forward, and input voltage brownout protection. This application note describes the theory of operation and step-by-step design considerations for a power factor correction power supply using the FAN6982 controller. A typical application circuit is shown in Figure 1, where the supply voltage, VDD, is supplied from a standby auxiliary power supply and the supply voltage for the downstream converter is controlled by the RDY pin.

Functional Description
Widely used operation modes for the boost converter are continuous conduction mode (CCM) and boundary conduction mode (BCM). These two descriptive names refer to the current flowing through the energy storage inductor of the boost converter, as depicted in Figure 2. The inductor current in CCM is continuous; while in BCM, the new switching period is initiated when the inductor current returns to zero, which is at the boundary of continuous conduction and discontinuous conduction operations. CCM PFC is commonly used for high-power applications above 300W since the inductor current has a small ripple and higher power factor can be obtained than BCM operation. Due to the reverse-recovery current of the output diode, using a high-speed diode with a small reverse recovery current is crucial to achieve high efficiency and low EMI.
where the internal resistor RM is typically 5.7kΩ; the output current of gain modulator, IMO, is given as a function of input current of IAC pin; and voltages of the VRMS and VEA pins are calculated as:
I MO = I AC ×
10.5 × (VEA - 0.7) VRMS 2 (VEA MAX - 0.7)

Current and Voltage Control of PFC
As shown in Figure 3, the FAN6982 employs two control loops for power factor correction: a current-control loop and a voltage-control loop. The current-control loop shapes inductor current, as shown in Figure 4, such that voltage drop across the internal resistor RM should be same as the averaged voltage drop across the sensing resistor, RCS, during one switching cycle:

(1)
The voltage-control loop regulates PFC output voltage using an internal error amplifier such that the FBPFC voltage is same as the internal reference of 2.5V. Note that, from Equation (2), the voltages of VEA should be almost constant to obtain pure sinusoidal reference for the input current shaping. Because there is always twice the line frequency ripple in the PFC output voltage, a narrow bandwidth should be used for the output voltage-control loop to minimize the line frequency ripple. Otherwise, the control loop tries to remove the output voltage ripple, changing the error amplifier output voltage as shown in Figure 5, which causes distortion of the input current.

APPLICATION NOTE
[STEP-3] PFC Inductor Design
The duty cycle of boost switch at the peak of line voltage is given as:
DLP = VBOUT − 2VLINE VBOUT
(Design Example) The largest ripple factor is obtained at a line voltage as:
VLINE = 2VBOUT = 3 2 ⋅ 387 = 182VAC 3
(15)
Then the current ripple of the boost inductor at the peak of line voltage is given as:
ΔI L = 2VLINE VBOUT − 2VLINE 1 ⋅ ⋅ LBOOST VBOUT f SW
With the ripple current specification (50%), the boost inductor is obtained as:
LBOOST = 2VBOUT 2 ⋅η 1 2 ⋅ 387 2 ⋅ 0.94 1 ⋅ = ⋅ K RF ⋅ POUT 27 f SW 0.5 ⋅ 350 27 ⋅ 65 × 103
(16)

The average of boost inductor current over one switching cycle at the peak of the line voltage is given as:
I L. AVG = 2 POUT VLINE ⋅η
The inductor current ripple at low line is obtained as:
ΔI L = = 2VLINE VBOUT − 2VLINE 1 ⋅ ⋅ LBOOST VBOUT f SW 2 ⋅ 85 387 − 2 ⋅ 85 1 ⋅ ⋅ = 1.39 A 387 916 × 10−6 65 × 103
(17)
The ripple factor (KRF), the ratio between the inductor current ripple and average inductor current at the peak of line voltage load is given as:
K RF = ΔI L I L. AVG =
The average inductor current at the peak of the line voltage for low line is obtained as:
I L. AVG = 2 POUT 2 ⋅ 350 = = 6.19 A VLINE .MIN ⋅η 85 ⋅ 0.94
η ⋅ VLINE 2 VBOUT − 2VLINE 1 ⋅ ⋅ POUT ⋅ LBOOST VBOUT f SW
(18)
As depicted in Figure 15, the ripple factor has the maximum value when the line voltage is:
VLINE .MRF = 2VBOUT 3
ΔI L. AVG
The maximum of the inductor current at low line is obtained as:
I L PK = I L. AVG + ΔI L / 2 = 6.19 + 1.39 / 2 = 6.89 A
(19)
[STEP-4] PFC Output Capacitor Selection
The output voltage ripple should be considered when selecting the PFC output capacitor. Figure 16 shows the twice line frequency ripple on the output voltage. With a given specification of output ripple, the condition for the output capacitor is obtained as:
CBOUT > I BOUT 2π ⋅ f LINE ⋅ VBOUT , RIPPLE
IL
I L. AVG
ΔI L I L. AVG
(21)
K RF =
where IBOUT is nominal output current of boost PFC stage and VBOUT,RIPPLE is the peak-to-peak output voltage ripple specification. The hold-up time also should be considered when determining the output capacitor as:
CBOUT >
85VAC

264VAC
Figure 15. Ripple Factor with Different Line Voltages
where POUT is nominal output power of boost PFC stage, tHOLD is the required hold-up time, and VBOUT,MIN is the allowable minimum PFC output voltage during hold-up time.
Therefore, with a given current ripple factor (KRF=ΔIL/ILAVG), the boost inductor value is obtained as:
LBOOST = 2VBOUT 2 ⋅η 1 ⋅ K RF ⋅ POUT 27 f SW

The voltage divider network for the PFC output voltage sensing should be designed such that FBPFC voltage is 2.5V at nominal PFC output voltage: VBOUT × RFB 2 = 2.5V RFB1 + RFB 2 (25)
(Design Example) With the ripple specification of 12VPP, the capacitor should be:
CBOUT I BOUT 0.9 > = = 239 μ F 2π ⋅ f LINE ⋅ VBOUT , RIPPLE 2π ⋅ 50 ⋅12
(Design Example) Assuming the second level of PFC output voltage is 347V:
Since minimum allowable output voltage during one cycle line (20ms) drop-outs is 310V, the capacitor should be:
CBOUT > 2 PBOUT ⋅ t HOLD VOUT 2 − VOUT , MIN 2 = 2 ⋅ 349 ⋅ 20 × 10−3 387 2 − 3102 = 260 μ F

347 2.5 = 12.9k Ω )⋅ 387 20 × 10−6
13kΩ is selected for RFB2. It is checked if the output voltage is higher than the peak of the line voltage:

Thus, 270μF capacitor is selected for the PFC output capacitor.
[STEP-5] PFC Output Sensing Circuit
To improve system efficiency at low-line and light-load condition, FAN6982 provides two-level PFC output voltage. As shown in Figure 17, the range function can be enabled or disabled through a resistor connected to ground or VREF. FAN6982 monitors VEA and VRMS voltages to adjust the PFC output voltage and enables a 20µA current source. The PFC output voltage when 20µA is enabled is given as:
20 μA × RFB 2 ) (23) 2.5 It is typical to set the second boost output voltage as 340V~300V. It should be checked if the output voltage is higher than the peak of the line voltage VBOUT 2 = VBOUT × (1 RRMS 1 + RRMS 2 + RRMS 3 π ⋅ ⋅ 2.45 < VBOUT 2 2 RRMS 3 (24)

APPLICATION NOTE
[STEP-6] PFC Current-Sensing Circuit Design
Figure 18 shows the PFC compensation circuits for the input current shaping and output voltage regulation. The first step in compensation network design is to select the current-sensing resistor of PFC converter considering the maximum power limit. Since line feed-forward is used, the output power is proportional to the voltage control error amplifier voltage as: VEA − 0.6 (26) VEA SAT − 0.6 SAT where VEA is 5.6V and the maximum power limit of PFC given by the maximum VEA voltage is: POUT (VEA ) = POUT MAX ⋅
POUT MAX =
VLINE .BO 2 ⋅ G MAX ⋅ RM RIAC RCS
(27)
where RM is internal modulator resistor whose typical value is 5.7kΩ, RIAC is a resistor connected between IAC pin, and PFC input and GMAX is the maximum of ratio of IAC pin current and modulator output current (IMO/IAC). The typical value of GMAX is 9 when VRMS pin voltage is 1.05V, which is related to the brownout protection threshold of line voltage (VLINE.BO). It is typical to set the maximum power limit of the PFC stage around 1.2~1.5 of its nominal output power, such that the VEA is around 4~4.5V at nominal output power. By adjusting the current-sensing resistor for the PFC converter, the maximum power limit of the PFC stage can be programmed. To filter out the current ripple of switching frequency, an RC filter is typically used for the ISENSE pin. RLF should not be larger than 100Ω and the time constant of the filter should be 300~500ns to properly remove the leading-edge current spike caused by reverse recovery of output diode. Diodes D1 and D2 are required to prevent over-voltage on the ISENSE pin due to the inrush current that might damage FAN6982. A fast recovery diode or ultra-fast recovery diode is recommended.
Figure 18. Gain Modulation Block
(Design Example) Setting the maximum power limit of the PFC stage as 450W (around 130% of nominal output power), the current sensing resistor is obtained as:
RCS =
VLINE . BO 2 ⋅ G MAX ⋅ RM 722 ⋅ 9 ⋅ 5.7 ×103 = = 0.098Ω RIAC PBOUT MAX 6 × 106 ⋅ 450
Thus, 0.1Ω resistor is selected.
[STEP-8] PFC Current Loop Design
The transfer function from duty cycle to the inductor current of boost power stage is given as: ) iL V ) = BOUT (28) sLBOOST d The transfer function from the output of the current control error amplifier to the inductor current-sensing voltage is obtained as: ) vCS RCS ⋅ VBOUT (29) )= vIEA VRAMP ⋅ sLBOOST where VRAMP is the peak to peak voltage of ramp signal for current control PWM comparator, which is 2.55V. The transfer function of the compensation circuit is given as:

f II = f IP = GMI 1 , f IZ = and 2π ⋅ CIC1 2π ⋅ RIC ⋅ CIC1 1 2π ⋅ RIC ⋅ CIC 2
(31)
where GMI is the gain of transconductance error amplifier. The procedure to design the feedback loop is as follows: (a) Determine the crossover frequency (fIC) around 1/10~1/6 of the switching frequency. Then calculate the gain of the transfer function of Equation (29) at crossover frequency as:
(Design Example) Setting the crossover frequency as 6kHz (around 1/10 of switching frequency): ) vCS 1 RCS ⋅ VBOUT = ) vIEA @ f = f VRAMP ⋅ 2π f IC ⋅ LBOOST

Setting the pole of the compensator at 60kHz, CIC 2 = 1 2π ⋅ f IP ⋅ RIC = 1 = 0.10nF 2π ⋅ 60 × 103 ⋅ 26 × 103
(b) Calculate RIC that makes the closed-loop gain unity at crossover frequency: RIC = 1 ) vCS GMI ⋅ ) vIEA (33)
@ f = f IC
The actual components are a little changed for the offthe-shelf components as: RIC=27kΩ , CIC1=3.3nF, and CIC2=100pF.
(c) Since the control-to-output transfer function of power stage has -20dB/dec slope and -90o phase at the crossover frequency is 0dB, as shown in Figure 19, it is necessary to place the zero of the compensation network (fIZ) around 1/3 of the crossover frequency so that more than 45° phase margin is obtained. Then the capacitor CIC1 is determined as: C IC1 1 = RIC ⋅ 2π fC / 3 (34)
[STEP-9] PFC Voltage Loop Design
Since FAN6982 employs line feed-forward, the powerstage transfer function becomes independent of the line voltage. Then the low-frequency, small-signal, control-tooutput transfer function is obtained as:
ˆ vBOUT I BOUT ⋅ K MAX 1 ≅ ⋅ ˆ 5 vEA sCBOUT
(36)
where K MAX = POUT MAX / POUT and 5V is the control window of error amplifier (5.6V-0.6V=5V).
(d) Place compensator high-frequency pole (fCP) at least a decade higher than fIC to ensure that it does not interfere with the phase margin of the current loop at its crossover frequency. CIC 2 = 1 2π ⋅ f IP ⋅ RIC (35)
Proportional and integration (PI) control with highfrequency pole is typically used for compensation. The compensation zero (fVZ) introduces phase boost, while the high-frequency compensation pole (fVP) attenuates the switching ripple, as shown in Figure 20.

(b)
Place compensator high-frequency pole (fVP) at least a decade higher than fC to ensure that it does not interfere with the phase margin of the voltage regulation loop at its crossover frequency. It should also be sufficiently lower than the switching frequency of the converter so noise can be effectively attenuated. Then, the capacitor CVC2 is determined as: CVC 2 = 1 2π ⋅ fVP ⋅ RVC (41)
(38)
The procedure to design the feedback loop is as follows: (a) Determine the crossover frequency (fVC) around 1/10~1/5 of the line frequency. Since the control-tooutput transfer function of power stage has -20dB/dec slope and -90o phase at the crossover frequency, as shown in Figure 20 as 0dB; it is necessary to place the zero of the compensation network (fVZ) around the crossover frequency so that 45° phase margin is obtained. Then, the capacitor CVC1 is determined as: GMV ⋅ I BOUT ⋅ K MAX 2.5 ⋅ (39) 5 ⋅ C BOUT ⋅ (2π fVC ) 2 VBOUT where GMV is the gain of the transconductance error amplifier for the output voltage regulation. CVC1 = To place the compensation zero at the crossover frequency, the compensation resistor is obtained as: RVC = 1 2π ⋅ fVC ⋅ CVC1 (40)
(Design Example) Setting the crossover frequency as 22Hz:
