EVAL BOARD USER’S MANUAL
Introduction
The NCP1653 is a Power Factor Controller to efficiently
drive Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM) step-up
pre-converters. As shown by the ON Semiconductor
application note AND8184/D, that details the four key steps
to design a NCP1653 driven PFC stage, this circuit
represents a major leap towards compactness and ease of
implementation.
Housed in a DIP8 or SO−8 package, the circuit minimizes
the external components count without sacrificing
performance and flexibility. In particular, the NCP1653
integrates all the key protections to build robust PFC stages
like an effective input power runaway clamping circuitry.
When needed or wished, the NCP1653 also allows
operation in Follower Boost mode* to drastically lower the
pre-converter size and cost, in a straight-forward manner.
For more information on this device, please refer to the
ON Semiconductor data sheet NCP1653/D.
The board illustrates the circuit capability to effectively
drive a high power, universal line application. More
specifically, it is designed to meet the following
specifications:
• Maximum output power: 300 W
• Input voltage range: from 90 Vrms to 265 Vrms
• Regulation output voltage: 385 V
• Switching frequency: 100 kHz
This application was tested using a resistive load. As in
many applications, the PFC controller is fed by an output of
the downstream converter, there is generally no need for an
auto-supply circuitry. Hence, in our demo-board, the
NCP1653 VCC is to be supplied by a 15 V external power
supply.
The external voltage source that is to be applied to the
NCP1653 VCC, should exceed 13.25 V typically, to allow
the circuit startup. After startup, the VCC operating range is
from 9.5 to 18 V.
The voltage applied to the NCP1653 VCC must NOT
exceed 18 V.
The NCP1653 is a continuous conduction mode and fixed
frequency controller (100 kHz). The coil (600 mH) is
selected to limit the peak-to-peak current ripple in the range
of 30% at the sinusoid top, in full load and low line
conditions. Again, for details on how the application is
designed, please refer to the ON Semiconductor application
note AND8184/D.
As detailed in the document, the board yields very nice
Power Factor ratios and effectively limits the Total
Harmonic Distortion (THD).
*The “Follower Boost” mode makes the pre-converter output voltage stabilize at a level that varies linearly versus the AC line amplitude. This
technique aims at reducing the difference between the output and input voltages to optimize the boost efficiency and minimize the cost of the
PFC stage (refer to MC33260 and NCP1653 data sheet at www.onsemi.com).

The efficiency remains higher than 90% for input powers

In standby (no load conditions), the PFC stage enters a

Similarly to the 110 Vac results, low THD values are
obtained. The Total Harmonic Distortion keeps below 15%
from Pmax (maximum power – 300 W) down to about
Pmax/5.
Again the efficiency keeps high in a large power range.
More specifically, it remains higher than 91% for input
powers ranging from 67 to 330 W.
In standby (no load conditions), the PFC stage enters a
stable burst mode, where the circuit keeps regulating the

When in light load, the circuit enters a welcome burst
mode that enables the circuit to keep regulating. Vpin5
oscillates around the pin5 internal reference voltage (2.5 V).
The power losses @ 220 Vac, are nearly 130 mW. This
result was obtained by using a W.h meter (measure duration:
1 h).

Soft-Start
The NCP1653 grounds the “Vcontrol” capacitor when it is
off, i.e., before each circuit active sequence (“Vcontrol” being
the regulation block output). Provided the low regulation
bandwidth required by PFC stages, “Vcontrol” increases
slowly. As a result, the power delivery rises gradually and
the PFC pre-regulator startup smoothly and noiselessly.

Test Procedure
1. Apply a 500 W/400 W resistive load across the
output (between the “+VOUT” and “−VOUT”
terminals of the board).
2. Adjust a 350 W or more, isolated ac power source
so that it outputs a 110 VRMS, sinusoidal voltage
(50 or 60 Hz).
3. Place a power analyzer able to measure:
• The power delivered by the power source
(“Pin”)
• The power factor (“PF”) and the Total Harmonic
Distortion (“THD”) of the current absorbed
from the ac power source
4. Plug the application to the ac power source.
5. Supply the controller by applying 15 V to the VCC
socket (between the “+12 V” and “GND”
terminals of the board) and measure:

7. Gradually decrease the power source input voltage
until the input current top becomes flat. Measure
the plateau (see Figure 14). It must be between 4.9
and 5.3 A (over-current limitation). This test must
be very short to avoid any excessive heating of the
board. Immediately stop the test if the input
current exceeds 5.3 A, or if the input voltage is
below 75 VRMS).
8. Increase the ac power source voltage to 220 V and
measure:

9. Observe the output voltage (i.e., the voltage
between the “+VOUT” and “−VOUT” terminals of
the board) with an oscilloscope. Unplug the PFC
stage from the power source. Set the triggering
level at about 200 V, the trigger position being set
at 10% of the screen. Program the scope to
observe 50 or 100 ms in single acquisition mode.
10. Abruptly apply the power source. Check that the
output voltage keeps below 450 V (Over-Voltage
Protection) (see Figure 15).
> 91%
6. Observe the input current (current drawn from the
ac power source) using a current probe and the
oscilloscope. The current is nearly sinusoidal.
