MARKING DIAGRAM
The NCP1654 is a controller for Continuous Conduction Mode
(CCM) Power Factor Correction step−up pre−converters. It controls
the power switch conduction time (PWM) in a fixed frequency mode
and in dependence on the instantaneous coil current.
Housed in a SO8 package, the circuit minimizes the number of
external components and drastically simplifies the PFC
implementation. It also integrates high safety protection features that
make the NCP1654 a driver for robust and compact PFC stages like an
effective input power runaway clamping circuitry.

Current Sense
Input
This pin sources a current ICS which is proportional to the inductor current IL. The sense
current ICS is for overcurrent protection (OCP), overpower limitation (OPL) and PFC duty
cycle modulation. When ICS goes above 200 mA, OCP is activated and the Drive Output is
disabled.
4
VBO
Brown−Out / In
Connect a resistor network among the rectified input voltage, BO pin, and ground. And
connect a capacitor between BO pin and ground. BO pin detects a voltage signal
proportional to the average input voltage.
When VBO goes below VBOL, the circuit that detects too low input voltage conditions
(brown−out), turns off the output driver and keeps it in low state until VBO exceeds VBOH.
This signal which is proportional to the RMS input voltage Vac is also for overpower limitation
(OPL) and PFC duty cycle modulation.
5
Vcontrol
Control Voltage
/ Soft−Start
The voltage of this pin Vcontrol directly controls the input impedance. This pin is connected to
external type−2 compensation components to limit the Vcontrol bandwidth typically below 20
Hz to achieve near unity power factor.
The device provides no output when Vcontrol < Vcontrol(min). When it starts operation, the
power increases slowly (soft−start).

−
This pin provides a voltage VM for the PFC duty cycle modulation. The input impedance of
the PFC circuits is proportional to the resistor RM externally connected to this pin. The device
operates in average current mode if an external capacitor CM is connected to the pin.
Otherwise, it operates in peak current mode.
This pin receives a feedback signal VFB that is proportional to the PFC circuits output
voltage. This information is used for both the output regulation, the overvoltage protection
(OVP), and output undervoltage protection (UVP) to protect the system from damage at
feedback abnormal situation.
When VFB goes above 105% VREF, OVP is activated and the Drive Output is disabled.
When VFB goes below 8% VREF, the device enters a low−consumption shutdown mode.
This pin is the positive supply of the IC. The circuit typically starts to operate when VCC
exceeds 10.5 V and turns off when VCC goes below 9 V. After start−up, the operating range
is 9 V up to 20 V.
The high current capability of the totem pole gate drive (±1.5 A) makes it suitable to
effectively drive high gate charge power MOSFET.

NCP1654
Detailed Operating Description
Introduction
The NCP1654 is a PFC driver designed to operate in fixed
frequency, continuous conduction mode. The fixed
frequency operation eases the compliance with EMI
standard and the limitation of the possible radiated noise that
may pollute surrounding systems. In addition, continuous
conduction operation reduces the application di/dt and their
resulting interference. More generally, the NCP1654 is an
ideal candidate in systems where cost−effectiveness,
reliability and high power factor are the key parameters. It
incorporates all the necessary features to build a compact
and rugged PFC stage:
• Compactness and Flexibility: housed in a SO8
package, the NCP1654 requires a minimum of external
components. In particular, the circuit scheme simplifies
the PFC stage design and eliminates the need for any
input voltage sensing. In addition, the circuit offers
some functions like the Brown−Out or the true power
limiting that enable the optimizations of the PFC
design,
• Low Consumption and Shutdown Capability: the
NCP1654 is optimized to exhibit consumption as small
as possible in all operation modes. The consumed
current is particularly reduced during the start−up phase
and in shutdown mode so that the PFC stage power
losses are extremely minimized when the circuit is
disabled. This feature helps meet the more stringent
stand−by low power specifications. Just ground the
Feed−back pin to force the NCP1654 in shutdown
mode,
• Safety Protections: the NCP1654 permanently monitors
the output voltage, the coil current and the die
temperature to protect the system from possible
over−stresses. Integrated protections (Overvoltage
protection, coil current limitation, thermal shutdown...)
make the PFC stage extremely robust and reliable:
− Maximum Current Limit: the circuit permanently
senses the coil current and immediately turns off the
power switch if it is higher than the set current limit.
The NCP1654 also prevents any turn on of the power
switch as long as the coil current is not below its
maximum permissible level. This feature protects the
MOSFET from possible excessive stress that could
result from the switching of a current higher than the
one the power switch is dimensioned for. In
particular, this scheme effectively protects the PFC
stage during the start−up phase when large in−rush
currents charge the output capacitor.
− Undervoltage Protection for Open Loop Protection or
Shut−down: the circuit detects when the feed−back
•
voltage goes below than about 8% of the regulation
level. In this case, the circuit turns off and its
consumption drops to a very low value. This feature
protects the PFC stage from starting operation in case
of low AC line conditions or in case of a failure in the
feed−back network (i.e. bad connection).
− Fast Transient Response: given the low bandwidth of
the regulation block, the output voltage of PFC stages
may exhibit excessive over or under−shoots because
of abrupt load or input voltage variations (e.g. at start
up). If the output voltage is too far from the
regulation level:
Overvoltage Protection: NCP1654 turns off the
power switch as soon as Vout exceeds the OVP
threshold (105% of the regulation level). Hence
a cost & size effective bulk capacitor of lower
voltage rating is suitable for this application,
Dynamic Response Enhancer: NCP1654
drastically speeds up the regulation loop by its
internal 200ĂmA enhanced current source when the
output voltage is below 95% of its regulation level.
− Brown−Out Detection: the circuit detects low AC line
conditions and disables the PFC stage in this case.
This protection mainly protects the power switch
from the excessive stress that could damage it in such
conditions,
− Over−Power Limitation: the NCP1654 computes the
maximum permissible current in dependence of the
average input voltage measured by the brown−out
block. It is the second OCP with a threshold that is
line dependent. When the circuit detects an excessive
power transfer, it resets the driver output
immediately,
− Thermal Shutdown: an internal thermal circuitry
disables the circuit gate drive and then keeps the
power switch off when the junction temperature
exceeds 150°C typically. The circuit resumes
operation once the temperature drops below about
120°C (30°C hysteresis),
− Soft Start: Vcontrol is pulled low brown−out detection
activates, or Undervoltage protection activates, and
no drive is provided.
At start up, the “200 mA enhanced current source” is
disabled. So there is only 28 mA to charge the
compensation components, and makes Vcontrol raise
gradually. This is to obtain a slow increasing duty
cycle and hence reduce the voltage and current stress
on the MOSFET. Hence it provides a soft−start
feature.
Output Stage Totem Pole: the NCP1654 incorporates
a ±1.5A gate driver to efficiently drive TO220 or
TO247 power MOSFETs.

PRINCIPLE OF NCP1654 SCHEME
The input filter capacitor Cfilter and the front−ended EMI
filter absorbs the high−frequency component of inductor
current IL. It makes the input current Iin a low−frequency
signal only of the inductor current.
CCM PFC Boost
A CCM PFC boost converter is shown in Figure 31. The
input voltage is a rectified 50 ro 60 Hz sinusoidal signal. The
MOSFET is switching at a high frequency (typically
65/133/200 kHz in NCP1654) so that the inductor current IL
basically consists of high and low−frequency components.
Filter capacitor Cfilter is an essential and very small value
capacitor in order to eliminate the high−frequency
component of the inductor IL. This filter capacitor cannot be
too bulky because it can pollute the power factor by
distorting the rectified sinusoidal input voltage.

It can be seen in the timing diagram in Figure 33 that Vm
originally consists of a switching frequency ripple coming
from the inductor current IL. The duty ratio can be
inaccurately generated due to this ripple. This modulation is
the so−called “peak current mode”. Hence, an external
capacitor CM connected to the multiplier voltage Vm pin is
essential to bypass the high−frequency component of Vm.
The modulation becomes the so−called “average current

Figure 38. Vcontrol Low−Pass Filtering
Refer to Figure 38, the Operational Trans−conductance
Amplifier (OTA) senses Vout via the feedback resistor
dividers, RfbU and RfbL. The OTA constructs a control
voltage, Vcontrol, depending on the output power and hence
Vout. The operating range of Vcontrol is from VCONTROL(min)
to VCONTROL(max). The signal used for PFC duty
modulation is after decreasing a offset voltage,
VCONTROL(min), i.e. Vcontrol−VCONTROL(min).
This control current Icontrol is a roughly constant current
that comes from the PFC output voltage Vout that is a slowly
varying signal. The bandwidth of Icontrol can be additionally
limited by inserting the external type−2 compensation
components (that are RZ, CZ, and CP as shown in Figure 38).
It is recommended to limit fcontrol, that is the bandwidth of
Vcontrol (or Icontrol), below 20 Hz typically to achieve power
factor correction purpose.

the inductor current IL. On the other hand, the filter capacitor
Cfilter similarly removes the high−frequency component of
inductor current IL. If the capacitors CM and Cfilter match
with each other in terms of filtering capability, IL becomes
IL−50. Input impedance Zin is roughly constant over the

(Equation 17) and (Equation 18) by replace Vcontrol by
VCONTROL(max). If Vcontrol is constant based on
(Equation 15), for a constant load or power demand the
output voltage Vout of the converter is proportional to the
rms input voltage Vac. It means the output voltage Vout
becomes lower when the rms input voltage Vac becomes
lower. On the other hand, the output voltage Vout becomes
lower when the load or power demand becomes higher.
The “Follower Boost” is an operation mode where the
pre−converter output voltage stabilizes at a level that varies
linearly versus the ac line amplitude. This technique aims at
reducing the gap between the output and input voltages to
optimize the boost efficiency and minimize the cost of the
PFC stage (refer to MC33260 data sheet for more details at
http://www.onsemi.com).

the output voltage Vout will always be higher than the input

Given the low bandwidth of the regulation block, the
output voltage of PFC stages may exhibit excessive over or
under−shoots because of abrupt load or input voltage
variations (such as start−up duration). As shown in
Figure 40, if the output voltage is out of regulation,
NCP1654 has 2 functions to maintain the output voltage
regulation.

NCP1654 uses a high gain Operational Trans−

Soft Start
The block diagram and timing diagram of soft start
function are as shown in Figure 42 and Figure 43. The device
provides no output (or no duty ratio) when the Vcontrol is
lower than VCONTROL(min). Vcontrol is pulled low when:
• Brown−out, or
• Undervoltage Protection
When the IC recovers from one of the following
conditions; Undervoltage Lockout, Brown−out or
Undervoltage Protection, the 200 mA current source block
keeps off. Hence only the Operating Trans−conductance
Amplifier (OTA) raises the Vcontrol. And Vcontrol rises
slowly. This is to obtain a slow increasing duty cycle and
hence reduce the voltage and current stress on the MOSFET.
A soft−start operation is obtained.

As shown in Figure 44, when Vfb is less than 8% of VREF,
the device is shut down and consumes less than 400 mA. The
device automatically starts operation when the output
voltage goes above 12% of VREF. In normal situation of
boost converter configuration, the output voltage Vout is
always greater than the input voltage Vin and the feedback
signal Vfb is always greater than 8% and 12% of VREF to
enable NCP1654 to operate.
This Undervoltage Protection function has 2 purposes.
• Open Loop Protection − Protect the power stage from
damage at feedback loop abnormal, such as Vfb is
shorted to ground or the feedback resistor RfbU is open.
• Shutdown mode − Disables the PFC stage and forces a
low consumption mode. This feature helps to meet
stringent stand−by specifications. Power Factor being
not necessary in stand−by, the PFC stage is generally
inhibited to save the pre−converter losses. To further
improve the stand−by performance, the PFC controller
should consume minimum current in this mode.
The device senses the rms input voltage Vac by the sensing
scheme in Figure 45. Vbo senses the average rectified input
voltage Vin via the resistor divider. An external capacitor
CBO is to maintain the Vbo the average value of Vin. Vbo is
used for Brown−Out Protection, PFC duty modulation and
over−power limitation (OPL).
Brown−Out Protection
The device uses the Vbo signal to protect the PFC stage
from operating as the input voltage is lower than expected.
Re−formulate (Equation 9) to get (Equation 21). Refer to
Figure 45, Vin is different before and after the device
operating.
• Before the device operates, Vin is equal to the peak

Hence a larger hysteresis of the brown out comparator is

below than VBOL (0.7 V typical), the device turns off the
Drive output and keeps it off till Vbo exceeds VBOH (1.3 V

It is recommended to add a typical 1 nF to 100 nF
decoupling capacitor next to the Vcc pin for proper
operation. When the NCP1654 operates in follower boost
mode, the PFC output voltage is not always regulated at a
particular level under all application range of input voltage
and load power. It is not recommended to make a
low−voltage bias supply voltage by adding an auxiliary
winding on the PFC boost inductor. Alternatively, it is
recommended to get the Vcc biasing supply from the
2nd−stage power conversion stage.

NCP1654
Vcc Undervoltage LockOut (UVLO)
The device incorporates an Undervoltage Lockout block
to prevent the circuit from operating when Vcc is too low in
order to ensure a proper operation. An UVLO comparator
monitors Vcc pin voltage to allow the NCP1654 to operate
when Vcc exceeds 10.5 V typically. The comparator
incorporates some hysteresis (1.5 V) to prevent erratic
operation as the Vcc crosses the threshold. When Vcc goes
below the UVLO comparator lower threshold (9 V
typically), the circuit turns off. It is illustrated in Figure 47.
After startup, the operating range is between 9 V and 20 V.
