Description
The FAN4800 is a controller for power-factor-corrected, switched-mode power supplies. Power Factor Correction (PFC) allows the use of smaller, lower-cost bulk capacitors, reduces power line loading and stress on the switching FETs, and results in a power supply that fully complies with IEC-1000-3-2 specifications. Intended as a BiCMOS version of the industry-standard ML4800, the FAN4800 includes circuits for the implementation of leading-edge, average-current, boost-type power factor correction and a trailing-edge Pulse Width Modulator (PWM). A gate driver with 1A capabilities minimizes the need for external driver circuits. Low-power requirements improve efficiency and reduce component costs. An over-voltage comparator shuts down the PFC section in the event of a sudden decrease in load. The PFC section also includes peak current limiting and input voltage brownout protection. The PWM section can be operated in current or voltage mode, at up to 250kHz, and includes an accurate 50% duty cycle limit to prevent transformer saturation. The FAN4800 includes a folded-back current limit for the PWM section to provide short-circuit protection.

FAN4800 — Low Startup Current PFC/PWM Controller Combinations
Functional Description
The FAN4800 consists of an average-current controlled, continuous boost Power Factor Correction (PFC) frontend and a synchronized Pulse Width Modulator (PWM) back-end. The PWM can be used in either current or voltage mode. In voltage mode, feed forward from the PFC output bus can be used to improve the PWM’s line regulation. In either mode, the PWM stage uses conventional trailing-edge, duty-cycle modulation. This proprietary leading/trailing edge modulation results in a higher usable PFC error amplifier bandwidth and can significantly reduce the size of the PFC DC bus capacitor. The synchronization of the PWM with the PFC simplifies the PWM compensation due to the controlled ripple on the PFC output capacitor (the PWM input capacitor). The PWM section of the FAN4800 runs at the same frequency as the PFC. In addition to power factor correction, a number of protection features are built into the FAN4800. These include soft-start, PFC over-voltage protection, peak current limiting, brownout protection, duty-cycle limiting, and under-voltage lockout (UVLO). 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 385VDC, to allow for a high line of 270VAC rms. The second condition is that the current drawn from the line at any given instant must be proportional to the line voltage. Establishing a suitable voltage control loop for the converter, which in turn drives a current error amplifier and switching output driver, satisfies the first of these requirements. The second requirement is met by using the rectified AC line voltage to modulate the output of the voltage control loop. Such modulation causes the current error amplifier to command a power stage current that varies directly with the input voltage. To prevent ripple, which necessarily appears at the output of boost circuit (typically about 10VAC on a 385VDC level), from introducing distortion back through the voltage error amplifier, the bandwidth of the voltage loop is deliberately kept low. A final refinement is to adjust the overall gain of the PFC section to be proportional to 1/VIN2, which linearizes the transfer function of the system as the AC input voltage. Since the boost converter in the FAN4800 PFC is current averaging, no slope compensation is required.
Power Factor Correction
Power Factor Correction treats a nonlinear load 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 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 the input). If the input current drawn by such a supply (or any nonlinear load) can be made to follow the input voltage in instantaneous amplitude, it appears resistive to the supply. To hold the input current draw of a device drawing power from the AC line in phase with and proportional to the input voltage, that device must be prevented from loading the line except in proportion to the instantaneous line voltage. To accomplish this, the PFC section of the FAN4800 uses a boost mode DC-DC converter. 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 the frequency) from zero volts to a 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 drawn from the power line is proportional to the input line voltage.
1. PFC Section
1.1 Gain Modulator Figure 1 shows a block diagram of the PFC section of the FAN4800. The gain modulator is the heart of the PFC, as the circuit block controls the response of the current loop to line voltage waveform and frequency, RMS line voltage, and PFC output voltages. There are three inputs to the gain modulator: 1. A current representing the instantaneous input voltage (amplitude and wave shape) to the PFC. The rectified AC input sine wave is converted to a proportional current via a resistor and is then fed into the gain modulator at IAC. Sampling current in this way minimizes ground noise, required in high-power, switching-power conversion environments. The gain modulator responds linearly to this current. 2. A voltage proportional to the long-term RMS AC line voltage, derived from the rectified line voltage after scaling and filtering. This signal is presented to the gain modulator at VRMS. The output of the gain modulator is inversely proportional to VRMS2 (except at unusually low values of VRMS, where special gain contouring takes over to limit power dissipation of the circuit components under heavy brownout conditions). The relationship between VRMS and gain is called K and is illustrated in Figure 5.

3. The output of the voltage error amplifier, VEAO. The gain modulator responds linearly to variation in VEAO. The output of the gain modulator is a current signal, in the form of a full wave rectified sinusoid at twice the line frequency. This current is applied to the virtual ground (negative) input of the current error amplifier. In this way, the gain modulator forms the reference for the current error loop and ultimately controls the instantaneous current draw of the PFC from the power line. The general form of the output of the gain modulator is:
IGAINMOD = I AC × VEAO V 2 RMS ×1 V
The inverting input of the current error amplifier is a virtual ground. Given this fact, and the arrangement of the duty cycle modulator polarities internal to the PFC, an increase in positive current from the gain modulator causes the output stage to increase its duty cycle until the voltage on ISENSE is adequately negative to cancel this increased current. Similarly, if the gain modulator’s output decreases, the output duty cycle decreases to achieve a less negative voltage on the ISENSE pin.
1.4 Cycle-By-Cycle Current Limiter and Selecting RS (3) As well as being a part of the current feedback loop, the ISENSE pin is a direct input to the cycle-by-cycle current limiter for the PFC section. If the input voltage at this pin is ever less than -1V, the output of the PFC is disabled until the protection flip-flop is reset by the clock pulse at the start of the next PFC power cycle. RS is the sensing resistor of the PFC boost converter. During the steady state, line input current x RS equals IGAINMOD x 3.5K. Since the maximum output voltage of the gain modulator is IGAINMOD maximum x 3.5k = 0.8V during the steady state, RS x line input current is limited to below 0.8V as well. Therefore, to choose RS, use the following equation:
RS = 0.8V × VINPEAK 2 × LineInput Power
More precisely, the output current of the gain modulator is given by:
IGAINMOD = K × (VEAO − 0.625) × I AC
(4)
where K is in units of V -1. The output current of the gain modulator is limited around 228.57µA and the maximum output voltage of the gain modulator is limited to 228.57µA x 3.5K = 0.8V. This 0.8V also determines the maximum input power. However, IGAINMOD cannot be measured directly from ISENSE. ISENSE = IGAINMOD – IOFFSET and IOFFSET can only be measured when VEAO is less than 0.5V and IGAINMOD is 0A. Typical IOFFSET is around 60µA.
(5)
1.2 Selecting RAC for IAC pin IAC pin is the input of the gain modulator. IAC is also a current mirror input and requires current input. Selecting a proper resistor RAC provides a good sine wave current derived from the line voltage and helps program the maximum input power and minimum input line voltage. RAC = VIN peak x 7.9K. For example, if the minimum line voltage is 80VAC, the RAC = 80 x 1.414 x 7.9K = 894kΩ.
For example, if the minimum input voltage is 80VAC and the maximum input RMS power is 200Watt, RS = (0.8V x 80V x 1.414) / (2 x 200) = 0.226Ω.
1.5 PFC OVP In the FAN4800, the PFC OVP comparator serves to protect the power circuit from being subjected to excessive voltages if the load changes suddenly. A resistor divider from the high-voltage DC output of the PFC is fed to VFB. When the voltage on VFB exceeds 2.78V, the PFC output driver is shut down. The PWM section continues to operate. The OVP comparator has 280mV of hysteresis and the PFC does not restart until the voltage at VFB drops below 2.50V. VCC OVP can also serve as a redundant PFC OVP protection. VCC OVP threshold is 17.9V with 1.5V hysteresis.
1.3 Current Error Amplifier, IEAO The current error amplifier’s output controls the PFC duty cycle to keep the average current through the boost inductor a linear function of the line voltage. At the inverting input to the current error amplifier, the output current of the gain modulator is summed with a current, which results from a negative voltage being impressed upon the ISENSE pin. The negative voltage on ISENSE represents the sum of all currents flowing in the PFC circuit and is typically derived from a current sense resistor in series with the negative terminal of the input bridge rectifier.

Figure 7. PFC Section Block Diagram 1.6 Error Amplifier Compensation The PWM loading of the PFC can be modeled as a negative resistor because an increase in the input voltage to the PWM causes a decrease in the input current. This response dictates the proper compensation of the two transconductance error amplifiers. Figure 8 shows the types of compensation networks most commonly used for the voltage and current error amplifiers, along with their respective return points. The current-loop compensation is returned to VREF to produce a soft-start characteristic on the PFC: As the reference voltage increases from 0V, it creates a differentiated voltage on IEAO, which prevents the PFC from immediately demanding a full duty cycle on its boost converter. The voltage loop gain(s) is given by:
= ≈ ΔVOUT ΔVFB ΔV × × EAO ΔVEAO ΔVOUT ΔVFB PIN × 2.5V V 2OUTDC × ΔVEAO × S × CDC × GMV × ZC
(6)
where: ZC: GMV: PIN: Compensation network for the voltage loop. Transconductance of VEAO . Average PFC input power.
V2OUTDC: PFC boost output voltage (typical designed value is 380V). CDC: PFC boost output capacitor.
1.7 PFC Voltage Loop There are two major concerns when compensating the voltage loop error amplifier (VEAO); stability and transient response. Optimizing interaction between transient response and stability requires that the error amplifier’s open-loop crossover frequency half that of the line frequency, or 23Hz for a 47Hz line (lowest anticipated international power frequency). The gain vs. input voltage of the FAN4800’s voltage error amplifier (VEAO) has a specially shaped non-linearity, so that under steady-state operating conditions, the transconductance of the error amplifier is at a local minimum. Rapid perturbation in line or load conditions causes the input to the voltage error amplifier (VFB) to deviate from its 2.5V (nominal) value. If this happens, the transconductance of the voltage error amplifier increases significantly, as shown in the Figure 4. This raises the gain-bandwidth product of the voltage loop, resulting in a much more rapid voltage loop response to such perturbations than would occur with conventional linear gain characteristics.
1.8 PFC Current Loop The compensation of the current amplifier (IEAO) is similar to that of the voltage error amplifier (VEAO) with the exception of the choice of crossover frequency. The crossover frequency of the current amplifier should be at least ten times that of the voltage amplifier to prevent interaction with the voltage loop. It should also be limited to less than one sixth of the switching frequency, e.g., 16.7kHz for a 100kHz switching frequency. The current loop gain(s) is given by:

The ISENSE filter is an RC filter. The resistor value of the ISENSE filter is between 100Ω and 50Ω because IOFFSET x RS can generate an offset voltage of IEAO. Selecting an RFILTER equal to 50Ω keeps the offset of the IEAO less than 5mV. Design the pole of ISENSE filter at fpfc/6, one sixth of the PFC switching frequency, so the boost inductor can be reduced six times without disturbing the stability. The capacitor of the ISENSE filter, CFILTER, is approximately 283nF.

A modest degree of gain contouring is applied to the transfer characteristic of the current error amplifier to increase its response speed to current-loop perturbations. However, the boost inductor is usually the dominant factor in overall current loop response. Therefore, this contouring is significantly less marked than that of the voltage error amplifier. This is illustrated in Figure 8.

The dead time of the oscillator is derived from the following equation: Figure 8. Compensation Network Connection for the Voltage and Current Error Amplifiers There is an RC filter between RS and ISENSE pin. There are two reasons to add a filter at the ISENSE pin: 1) Protection: During startup or in-rush current conditions, there is a large voltage across RS, which is the sensing resistor of the PFC boost converter. It requires the ISENSE filter to attenuate the energy. 2) To reduce L, the boost inductor: The ISENSE filter also can reduce the boost inductor value since the ISENSE filter behaves like an integrator before the ISENSE pin, which is the input of the current error amplifier, IEAO.

1.10 Example For the application circuit shown in Figures 12 and 13, with the oscillator running at:
fOSC = 100kHz = 1 tRAMP
cycle current, it also softly discharges the voltage of the soft-start capacitor. It limits the PWM duty cycle mode and the power dissipation is reduced during the deadshort condition. 2.3 VIN OK Comparator The VIN OK comparator monitors the DC output of the PFC and inhibits the PWM if the voltage on VFB is less than its nominal 2.25V. Once the voltage reaches 2.25V, which corresponds to the PFC output capacitor being charged to its rated boost voltage, the soft-start begins. 2.4 PWM Control (RAMP2) When the PWM section is used in current mode, RAMP2 is generally used as the sampling point for a voltage, representing the current in the primary of the PWM’s output transformer. The voltage is derived either from a current sensing resistor or a current transformer. In voltage mode, RAMP2 is the input for a ramp voltage generated by a second set of timing components (RRAMP2, CRAMP2) that have a minimum value of 0V and a peak value of approximately 5V. In voltage mode, feed forward from the PFC output bus is an excellent way to derive the timing ramp for the PWM stage. 2.5 Soft-Start (SS) PWM startup is controlled by selection of the external capacitor at soft-start. A current source of 20mA supplies the charging current for the capacitor and startup of the PWM begins at 0.9V. Startup delay can be programmed by the following equation:
CSS = tDELAY × 20μA 0.9V
(12)
solving for CT x RT yields 1.96 x 10-4. CT is 390pF and RT is 51.1kΩ, selecting standard components values. The dead time of the oscillator adds to the maximum PWM duty cycle (it is an input to the duty cycle limiter). With zero oscillator dead time, the maximum PWM duty cycle is typically 47%. Take care not to make CT too large, which could extend the maximum duty cycle beyond 50%. This can be accomplished by using no greater than a 390pF capacitor for CT.
2. PWM Section
2.1 Pulse Width Modulator (PWM) The operation of the PWM section of the FAN4800 is straightforward, but there are several points that should be noted. Foremost among these is the inherent synchronization of PWM with the PFC section of the device, from which it also derives its basic timing. The PWM is capable of current-mode or voltage-mode operation. In current-mode applications, the PWM ramp (RAMP2) is usually derived directly from a current sensing resistor or current transformer in the primary of the output stage. it is thereby representative of the current flowing in the converter’s output stage. DC ILIMIT, which provides cycleby-cycle current limiting, is typically connected to RAMP2 in such applications. For voltage-mode operation and certain specialized applications, RAMP2 can be connected to a separate RC timing network to generate a voltage ramp against which VDC is compared. Under these conditions, the use of voltage feed-forward from the PFC bus can assist in line regulation accuracy and response. As in current-mode operation, the DC ILIMIT input is used for output stage over-current protection. No voltage error amplifier is included in the PWM stage of the FAN4800, as this function is generally performed on the output side of the PWM’s isolation boundary. To facilitate the design of opto-coupler feedback circuitry, an offset has been built into the PWM’s RAMP2 input that allows VDC to command a 0% duty cycle for input voltages below typical 0.9V. 2.2 PWM Current Limit The DC ILIMIT pin is a direct input to the cycle-by-cycle current limiter for the PWM section. Should the input voltage at this pin ever exceed 1V, the output flip-flop is reset by the clock pulse at the start of the next PWM power cycle. When the DC ILIMIT triggers the cycle-by-
(13)
where CSS is the required soft-start capacitance and the tDELAY is the desired startup delay. It is important that the time constant of the PWM softstart allows the PFC time to generate sufficient output power for the PWM section. The PWM startup delay should be at least 5ms. Solving for the minimum value of CSS:
CSS = 5ms × 20μA = 111nF 0.9V
(14)
Use caution when using this minimum soft-start capacitance value because it can cause premature charging of the SS capacitor and activation of the PWM section if VFB is in the hysteresis band of the VIN OK comparator at startup. The magnitude of VFB at startup is related both to line voltage and nominal PFC output voltage. Typically, a 1.0µF soft-start capacitor allows time for VFB and PFCOUT to reach their nominal values prior to activation of the PWM section at line voltages between 90Vrms and 265Vrms.

2.6 Generating VCC After turning on the FAN4800 at 13V, the operating voltage can vary from 10V to 17.9V. The threshold voltage of the VCC OVP comparator is 17.9V and its hysteresis is 1.5V. When VCC reaches 17.9V, PFC OUT is LOW, and the PWM section is not disturbed. There are two ways to generate VCC: use auxiliary power supply around 15V or use bootstrap winding to self-bias the FAN4800 system. The bootstrap winding can be either taped from the PFC boost choke or from the transformer of the DC-to-DC stage. The ratio of the bootstrap’s winding transformer should be set between 18V and 15V. A filter network is recommended between VCC (pin 13) and bootstrap winding. The resistor of the filter can be set as:
RFILTER × IVCC ≈ 2V ,
= 2.5A (typ.)
2.8 Leading/Trailing Modulation Conventional PWM techniques employ trailing-edge modulation, in which the switch turns on right after the trailing edge of the system clock. The error amplifier output is then compared with the modulating ramp up. The effective duty cycle of the trailing edge modulation is determined during the on-time of the switch. Figure 10 shows a typical trailing-edge control scheme. In the case of leading-edge modulation, the switch is turned off exactly at the leading edge of the system clock. When the modulating ramp reaches the level of the error amplifier output voltage, the switch is turned on. The effective duty-cycle of the leading-edge modulation is determined during off-time of the switch. Figure 11 shows a leading-edge control scheme. One of the advantages of this control technique is that it requires 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 the leading-edge modulation method.
IVCC = IOP + (QPFCFET +QPWMFET ) × fSW IOP
(15)
If VCC goes beyond 17.9V, the PFC gate (pin 12) drive goes LOW and the PWM gate drive (pin 11) remains working. The resistor’s value must be chosen to meet the operating current requirement of the FAN4800 itself (5mA, maximum) in addition to the current required by the two gate driver outputs.
2.7 Example To obtain a desired VBIAS voltage of 18V, a VCC of 15V, and the FAN4800 driving a total gate charge of 90nC at 100kHz (e.g. one IRF840 MOSFET and two IRF820 MOSFET), the gate driver current required is:
IGATEDRIVE = 100kHz × 90nC = 9mA VBIAS − VCC ICC + IG 18V − 15V 5mA + 9mA

Bypass the FAN4800 locally with a 1.0μF ceramic capacitor. In most applications, an electrolytic capacitor of between 47μF and 220μF is also required across the part both for filtering and as a part of the startup bootstrap circuitry.
