Description
The HiperPFS™-4 devices incorporate a continuous conduction mode
(CCM) boost PFC controller, gate driver and 600 V power MOSFET in a
single, low-profile (GROUND pin connected) power package. HiperPFS-4
devices eliminate need for external current sense resistors and their
associated power loss, and use an innovative control technique that
adjusts the switching frequency over output load, input line voltage,
and input line cycle.
This control technique maximizes efficiency over the entire load range,
particularly at light loads. Additionally, it minimizes the EMI filtering
requirements due to its wide bandwidth spread spectrum effect. The
HiperPFS-4 uses advanced digital techniques for line monitoring, line
feed-forward scaling, and power factor enhancement; while using
analog techniques for the core controller in order to maintain extremely
low no-load power consumption. The HiperPFS-4 also features an
integrated non-linear error amplifier for enhanced load transient
response, a user programmable Power Good (PG) signal as well as user
selectable power limit functionality. HiperPFS-4 includes Power
Integrations’ standard set of comprehensive protection features, such
as UV, OV, brown-in/out, and hysteretic thermal shutdown. HiperPFS-4
also provides cycle-by-cycle current limit and Safe Operating Area
(SOA) protection of the power MOSFET, output power limiting for
overload protection, and pin-to-pin short-circuit protection
HiperPFS-4’s innovative variable frequency continuous conduction
mode operation (VF-CCM) minimizes switching losses by maintaining a
low average switching frequency, while modulating the switching
frequency in order to suppress EMI, the traditional challenge with
continuous conduction mode solutions. Systems using HiperPFS-4
typically reduce the total X and Y capacitance requirements of the
converter, the inductance of both the boost choke and EMI noise
suppression chokes, thereby reducing overall system size and cost.
Additionally, HiperPFS-4 devices dramatically reduce component count
and board footprint while simplifying system design and enhancing
reliability, when compared with designs that use discrete MOSFETs and
controllers. The innovative variable frequency, continuous conduction
mode controller enables the HiperPFS-4 to realize all of the benefits of
continuous conduction mode operation while leveraging low-cost,
small, simple EMI filters.
Many regions mandate high power factor for many electronic products
with high power requirements. These rules are combined with
numerous application-specific standards that require high power supply
efficiency across the entire load range, from full load to as low as 10%
load. High efficiency at light load is a challenge for traditional PFC
solutions where fixed MOSFET switching frequencies cause fixed
switching losses on each cycle, even at light loads. In addition to
featuring flat efficiency across the load range, HiperPFS-4 also enables
a high power factor of >0.95 at 20% load. HiperPFS-4 simplifies
compliance with new and emerging energy-efficiency standards over a
broad market space in applications such as PCs, LCD TVs, notebooks,
appliances, pumps, motors, fans, printers and LED lighting.
HiperPFS-4’s advanced power packaging technology and high
efficiency simplify the complexity of mounting the IC and thermal
management, while providing very high power capabilities in a single
compact package; these devices are suitable for PFC applications with
maximum continuous power from 75 W to 405 W universal (550 W
high-line only).

Pin Functional Description
BIAS POWER (VCC) Pin
This is a 10.2-15 VDC [12 V typical] bias supply used to power the IC.
The bias voltage must be externally clamped to prevent the BIAS
POWER pin from exceeding 15 VDC to ensure long-term reliability
REFERENCE (REF) Pin
This pin is connected to an external bypass capacitor and is used to
program the IC for either FULL or EFFICIENCY power mode. The
external capacitor is connected between the REFERENCE and SIGNAL
GROUND [G] pins. Note: the return trace to the ground pin must not
be shared with other return traces that may pass large return
currents during surge events. The REFERENCE pin has two valid
capacitor values to select ‘Full’ (1.0 mF ±20%) or ‘Efficiency’ (0.1 mF
±20%) power modes.
SIGNAL GROUND (G) Pin
Discrete components used in the feedback circuit, including loop
compensation, decoupling capacitors for the BIAS POWER (VCC),
REFERENCE (REF) and VOLTAGE MONITOR (V) must be referenced to

Rev. F 08/20
PFS7x23-7x29/7633-7636
the SIGNAL GROUND (G) pin. The SIGNAL GROUND pin is also
connected to the tab of the device. The SIGNAL GROUND pin should
not be tied directly to the SOURCE pin external to the IC.
VOLTAGE MONITOR (V) Pin
The VOLTAGE MONITOR pin is tied to the rectified high-voltage DC
rail through a 100:1, 1% high-impedance resistor divider to minimize
power dissipation and standby power consumption. The recommended
resistance value is between 8 MW and 16 MW. Changing this divider
ratio affects peak power limit, brown-in/out thresholds and will
degrade input current quality (reduce power factor and increase
THD). A small ceramic capacitor forming an 80 ms nominal timeconstant must be connected between the VOLTAGE MONITOR pin to
the SIGNAL GROUND pin to bypass any switching noise present on
the rectified DC bus.
This pin also features brown-in/out detection thresholds and
incorporates a weak current source that acts as a pull-down in the
event of an open circuit condition.
COMPENSATION (C) Pin
This pin is used for loop pole/zero compensation of the OTA error
amplifier via the connection of a network of capacitors and a resistor
between the COMPENSATION pin and SIGNAL GROUND pin. The
COMPENSATION pin connects internally to the output of the OTA
error amplifier and the input to the on-time and off-time controllers.
FEEDBACK (FB) Pin
This pin is connected to the main voltage regulation feedback resistor
divider network and is also used for fast over and undervoltage
protection. This pin also detects the presence of the feedback
voltage divider network at start-up and during operation. The divider
ratio should be the same as the VOLTAGE MONITOR pin for proper
H Package (eSIP-16D)
(Front View)
and optimized power limit and power factor. A large upper resistor
between 8 MW and 16 MW ±1% is recommended. A small ceramic
capacitor between FEEDBACK and SIGNAL GROUND, forming a
nominal 80 ms time-constant with the bottom resistor, is required.
POWER GOOD (PG) Pin
Use of the PG function is optional. The POWER GOOD pin is an
active low, open-drain connection which sinks current when the
output voltage is in regulation. At start-up, once the FEEDBACK pin
voltage has risen to ~95% of the internal reference voltage, the
POWER GOOD pin is asserted low.
After start-up, the output voltage threshold at which the PG signal
becomes high-impedance depends on the threshold programmed by
the POWER GOOD THRESHOLD pin resistor. When not used, the
POWER GOOD pin is left unconnected.
POWER GOOD THRESHOLD (PGT) Pin
This pin is used to program the output voltage threshold at which the
PG signal becomes high-impedance representing the PFC stage falling
out of regulation. The low threshold for the PG signal is programmed
with a resistor between the POWER GOOD THRESHOLD and SIGNAL
GROUND pins. Tying the POWER GOOD THRESHOLD to the
REFERENCE pin disables the power good function (i.e. POWER GOOD
pin remains high impedance).
SOURCE (S) Pins
These pins are the source connection of the power switch as well as
the negative bulk capacitor terminal connection.
DRAIN (D) Pin
This is the drain connection of the internal power switch.
Boost Diode Cathode (K) Pin
This is the cathode connection of the internal Qspeed diode.

Functional Description
The HiperPFS-4 family are variable switching frequency boost PFC
devices. It employs a constant amp-second on-time and constant
volt-second off-time control algorithm. This algorithm is used to
regulate the output voltage and shape the input current to comply
with regulatory harmonic current limits (high power factor). Integrating the switch current and controlling it to have a constant amp-sec
product over the on-time of the switch allows the average input
current to follow the input voltage. Integrating the difference
between the output and input voltage maintains a constant voltsecond balance dictated by the electro-magnetic properties of the
boost inductor and thus regulates the output voltage and power.
More specifically, the control technique sets constant volt-seconds for
the off-time (tOFF). The off-time is controlled such that:
^ V O -
V IN h # t OFF = K 1
(1)
(2)
Since the volt-seconds during the on-time must equal the voltseconds during the off-time, to maintain flux equilibrium in the PFC
choke, the on-time (tON) is controlled such that
V IN # t ON = K 1
The controller also sets a constant value of charge delivered during
each on-cycle of the power MOSFET. The charge per cycle is varied
gradually over many switching cycles in response to load changes so
it can be considered constant for a half line cycle. With this constant
charge (or amp-second) control, the following relationship is therefore
also true:
I IN # t ON = K 2
Substituting tON from (2) into (3) gives:
V IN # K 2
I IN =
(3)
(4)
K1
The relationship of (4) demonstrates that by controlling a constant
amp-second on-time and constant volt-second off-time, the input
current IIN is proportional to the input voltage VIN, therefore providing
the fundamental requirement of power factor correction.
This control produces a continuous mode power switch current
waveform that varies both in frequency and peak current value across
a line half-cycle to produce an input current proportional to the input
voltage.

PFS7x23-7x29/7633-7636
Control Engine
The controller features a low bandwidth, high gain OTA error-amplifier
of which its non-inverting terminal is connected to an internal voltage
reference of 3.85 V. The inverting terminal of the error-amplifier is
available on the external FEEDBACK pin which connects to the output
voltage divider network with a divider ratio of 1:100 to regulate the
output voltage to 385 V nominally. The FEEDBACK pin connects
directly to the divider network for fast transient load response.
The internally sensed FET switch current is scaled by the input
voltage peak detector current sense gain (MON) then integrated and
compared with the error-amplifier signal (VE) to determine the cycle
on-time. Internally the difference between the input and output
voltage is derived and the resultant is scaled, integrated, and
compared to a voltage reference (VOFF) to determine the cycle off-time.
Careful selection of the internal scaling factors produce input current
waveforms with very low distortion and high power factor.
Line Feed-Forward Scaling Factor (MON) and PF Enhancer
The VOLTAGE MONITOR (V) pin voltage is sampled and converted by
a Δ-Σ ADC to a quantized digital value. A digital line cycle peak
detector, with dynamic time constants and multi-cycle filtering,
derives and smooths the peak of the input line voltage. This peak is
used internally to scale the gain of the current sense signal through
the MON variable. This contribution is required to reduce the dynamic
range of the control feedback signal as well as flatten the loop gain
over the operating input line range. The line-sense feed-forward gain
adjustment is proportional to the square of the peak rectified AC line
voltage and is adjusted as a function of the VOLTAGE MONITOR pin
voltage.
At high-line and light load, the feed-forward MON variable is dynamically adjusted across the line cycle in order to compensate for the line
current distortion through the EMI filter and full bridge network, and
improve power factor.

The line-sense feed-forward gain is also important in providing a
switch power limit over the input line range.
This characteristic is optimized to maintain a relatively constant
internal error-voltage level at full load from an input line of 90 to
230 VAC.
Beyond the specified peak power rating of the device, the internal
power limit will regulate the output voltage below the set regulation
threshold as a function of output overload to maintain constant
output power. Figure 6 illustrates the typical regulation characteristic
as a function of load.
Below the brown-in threshold (VBR+) the power limit is reduced when
the device is operated in the ‘Full’ power mode as shown in Figure 7.
As the input line voltage is reduced toward the brown-out threshold
(VBR-) and if the load exceeds the power limit derating, the boost
output voltage will drop out of regulation in accordance with Figure 6.
The rated peak power shown in Table 1 is not derated for voltages
below the brown-in threshold when the device is operated in the
‘Efficiency’ mode.
Start-Up with Pin-to-Pin Short-Circuit Protection
At start-up, the engine performs a sequence of operational checks
and pin short/open evaluations, as shown in Figure 8, prior to the
commencement of switching. When the input voltage peak is above
brown-in, the engine enables switching.
The OTA error amplifier provides a non-linear amplifier (NLA)
mechanism to overcome the inherently slow feedback loop response
when the sensed output voltage on the FEEDBACK pin is outside its
regulation window. This allows the error amplifier function to limit
the maximum overshoot and undershoot during load transient events.
To reduce switch and output diode current stress at start-up, the
HiperPFS-4 calculates off-time based upon output voltage (VOUT) during
start-up, resulting in a relatively soft controlled start-up.
Once the applied VCC is above the VCCUVLO+ threshold, and the output
of the on-chip VREF regulator is above REFUV+, the value of the
REFERENCE pin capacitor is detected and the full or efficiency power
mode is latched. The pin open/short tests are performed, and if the
FEEDBACK pin voltage is valid the over-temperature OTP is checked
to be false. Once the preceding checks are satisfied the input voltage
is monitored via the VOLTAGE MONITOR pin until it exceeds the VBR+
threshold [but the peak detector is not saturated]. It is at this point
that switching is enabled.
Timing Supervisor and Operating Frequency Range
The controller operates with a variable switching frequency over the
line frequency half-cycle, typically spanning a range of 22 – 123 kHz
when operating in CCM, the controller also features a timing supervisor
function which monitors and limits the maximum switch on-time and
off-time as well as ensures a minimum cycle on-time. Figure 9(a)
shows the typical half-line frequency profile of the device switching
frequency as a function of input voltage at peak load conditions.
Figure 9(b) shows for a given line condition of 115 VAC, the effect of
EcoSmart™ on the switching frequency as a function of load.

EcoSmart
The HiperPFS-4 includes an EcoSmart function wherein the internal
error signal (VE) is used to detect the converter output power. This
sets the average switching frequency as a function of output power.
currents constitute the majority of the load. Higher output voltage
ripple at light load is an artifact of efficient burst mode operation.
Power Good Signal (PG)
The HiperPFS-4 features a ‘power good’ (PG) circuit which comprises
an internal comparator that turns ‘on’ an open-drain switch during
start-up when the sensed output voltage on the FEEDBACK pin rises
to ~95% (VPG+) of the output voltage threshold. During start-up,
prior to the output voltage reaching VPG+, the PG signal is in a
high-impedance state (internal switch is in off-state).
As shown in Figure 10, the off-time integrator control reference (VOFF)
is controlled with respect to the internal error-voltage level (output
power) to allow the converter to maintain output voltage regulation
and relatively flat conversion efficiency from 20% to 100% of rated
load, which is essential to meet many efficiency directives. The
degree of frequency slide is also controlled as a function of input line
voltage. The lower VOFF slope as a function of input voltage reduces
the average frequency extremes for high input line operation.

Burst-Mode for No-Load Power Consumption Reduction
Under no-load conditions the HiperPFS-4 engine is architected to
enter a burst mode which gates the power switch on and off between
fixed error voltage levels. This ensures low power consumption by
switching in bursts in order to maintain regulation when leakage
Frequency (kHz)
The power good signal transitions from ‘on’ to off-state when the
sensed output voltage on the FEEDBACK pin falls to a user selected
threshold, programmed via resistor on the POWER GOOD THRESHOLD (PGT) pin. The POWER GOOD THRESHOLD pin sources a fixed
current IPGT. This current combined with the power good threshold
resistor sets the threshold when the power good signal transitions
from the on-state to the high-impedance off-state as the PFC output
falls out of regulation.

The power good comparator has an internal 81 µs de-glitch filter (tPGD)
to prevent noise events from falsely triggering the programmed VPGthreshold.
In the event a load fault prevents the boost from achieving regulation
(above ~95% of the set output voltage threshold) the PG function will
remain in the high-impedance state and will not indicate when an
output voltage has fallen below the user programmed VPG- threshold.
The VPG- user programmed threshold is enabled once the VPG+
threshold has been reached.
If the POWER GOOD THRESHOLD programming pin is tied to
REFERENCE pin, the power good function is disabled and PG remains
in the high-impedance (‘off’) state. This is the preferred configuration when PG is not in use. If the POWER GOOD THRESHOLD pin is
shorted to the SIGNAL GROUND pin, the PG signal will transition to
the on-state at VPG+ and remain low (‘on’) until the PFC output voltage
has fallen below the VFB_UV threshold for greater than tFB_UV seconds.
Similar to the disable condition described above, if the value of the
PGT resistor is such that the VPG- threshold is greater than the VPG+
threshold, the PG signal will latch off and remain in the high-impedance off-state.
The Power Good function is not valid under the following conditions:
A. VCC or VREF are not in a valid range of operation. VCC below UVLOor VREF below REFUV- the power good function is not valid with the
POWER GOOD pin in a high-impedance state.
B. Power Good will go to high-impedance state when a soft shutdown
is initiated by an over-temperature fault to provide early indication to
secondary circuits of an OT fault.
C. PGT is outside the valid programming range of between 225 V and
360 V. PGT voltages above this range, including PGT floating, will
prevent PG from transitionning to active pull-down. PGT voltages
below this range result in PG deassertion at the output undervoltage (VFB_UV) threshold.
D. Once the start-up sequence check has passed and the converter
goes into start-up, if PGT is opened, then the PG signal will remain
latched in the high-impedance state until the controller is reset.
Selectable Power Limit
The capacitor on the REFERENCE pin allows user selection between
’full’ and ‘efficiency’ power limit for each device. The ‘efficiency’
power mode will permit user selection of a larger device for a given
output power requirement for increased conversion efficiency.
In ‘full’ power mode the REFERENCE pin capacitor is 1.0 mF ±20%
and the ‘efficiency’ power limit mode is selected with a 0.1 mF ±20%
capacitor.
If the REFERENCE pin is accidentally shorted to ground, the IC will
disable switching and remain disabled until all conditions for the
start-up sequence are satisfied..
If the REFERENCE pin is open-circuit, the absence of a bypass capacitor
will prevent start-up. During operation, an open-circuit may result in
enough REFERENCE pin noise to result in a VREF REFUV- shutdown.
Protection Modes
Brown-In Protection (VBR+)
The VOLTAGE MONITOR pin has an input line undervoltage detection
to limit the minimum start-up voltage. This detection threshold will
inhibit the device from starting at input voltages below brown-in and
above input peak voltages of 400 VPK.
Brown-Out Protection (VBR-)
The VOLTAGE MONITOR pin features a brown-out protection mode
wherein the HiperPFS-4 will turn-off when the VOLTAGE MONITOR
pin voltage is below the line undervoltage threshold (VBR-) for a
period exceeding tBRWN_OUT (brown-out debounce period). In the event
a single half-line cycle is missing (normal operating line frequency is
47 Hz to 63 Hz) the brown-out detection will not be initiated. Once
brown-out has been triggered, the HiperPFS-4 soft-shutdown
gradually reduces the internal error-voltage to zero volts over a period
of 1 ms to ramp the power MOSFET on-time to zero. The onset of
this soft-shutdown is aligned to the next line cycle zero crossing to
minimize reactive component di/dt transients and allow time for the
energy stored within the boost choke as well as the input EMI filter to
dissipate. This helps minimize voltage transients after the bridge
rectifier, which helps to prevent false restarts. The device will enter

After a brown-in event, until after the tSTARTUP timer has expired, the line
voltage brown-out threshold is reduced to VBR-NTC and the brown-out
timer is extended to tBRWN_OUT_NTC to allow for the drop in line voltage due
to an in-rush limiting negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor
in series with the input line.
If the tBRWN_OUT_NTC debounce timer is triggered by the sensed line
voltage dropping below the VBR-NTC threshold but the line voltage
recovers to above the VBR-NTC threshold before the tBRWN_OUT_NTC expires,
then the tSTARTUP timer will be re-started.If the line does not recover
above the VBR-NTC threshold before the tBRWN_OUT_NTC debounce timer
expires a shutdown will occur.
After the tSTARTUP timer has expired, if the VOLTAGE MONITOR pin
voltage rises above VBR-NTC, the brown-out debounce timer will switch
to normal period (tBRWN_OUT) and the brown-out threshold will switch to
VBR-. If the VOLTAGE MONITOR pin voltage is not qualified above
VBR- after the subsequent tBRWN_OUT timer has expired then a brown-out
shutdown will occur.
HiperPFS-4 incorporates input waveform discrimination to determine
if the line signal peak-to-average ratio is more representative of a
sine wave or a high duty cycle square wave. The brown-out
threshold is reduced to VBR_SQ when a high duty cycle (UPS) square
wave is detected.
VCC Undervoltage Protection (UVLO)
The BIAS POWER (VCC) pin has an undervoltage lock-out protection
which inhibits the IC from starting unless the applied VCC voltage is
above the VCCUVLO+ threshold. The IC initiates a start-up once the
BIAS POWER pin voltage exceeds the VCCUVLO+ threshold. After
start-up the IC will continue to operate until the BIAS POWER pin
voltage has fallen below the VCCUVLO- level. The absolute maximum
voltage on the BIAS POWER pin is 17.5 V which must be externally
limited to prevent long term damage to the IC.
Line Dependent Over Current Protection (OCP) limit
The device includes a cycle-by-cycle over-current protection
mechanism which protects the device in the event of a fault. The
intent of OCP protection in this device is protection of the internal
power MOSFET and is not specifically intended to protect the converter
from output short-circuit or overload fault conditions.
For universal line input parts, the OCP limit is set as a function of the
input line voltage, one setting for low-line voltages and another
setting for high-line voltages. This helps to bound power limit into
short-circuits as well as helps to minimize the stress on the switch
due to current overloads at higher input line conditions. Figure 12
illustrates the hysteretic adjustment of the OCP levels as a function
of VOLTAGE MONITOR pin line-sensing. This equates to selecting the
low-line OCP (the greater of the two settings) when the peak of the
input line voltage drops below 140 VAC for 3 consecutive half-cycles
and selecting the high-line OCP level (the lesser of the two settings)
when the input line voltage rises above 170 VAC for 1 half-cycle,
(except in follower mode, as described in the subsequent sections).
The HiperPFS-4 utilizes a high input line OCP after detecting the
VOLTAGE MONITOR pin above the high-line threshold, VHIGH+. The
controller reverts back to low-line OCP (as well as low-line frequency
slide) only after 3 consecutive half-line cycle peak values that are

below the low-line threshold VHIGH-. In the event of a line drop-out,
the controller may revert from high-line to low-line parameters if the
drop-out exceeds 37 ms (nominal). High-line only input parts use a
single fixed OCP threshold.
A follower-mode feature updates the controller to high-line status
rapidly, as soon as the input voltage exceeds VHIGH+. This feature has
particular benefit for high-line hard-start conditions after a long AC
line drop-out where the peak detector may initially indicate a low
input line condition.
A leading edge blanking circuit inhibits the current limit comparator
for a short time (tLEB) after the power MOSFET is turned on. This
leading edge blanking time is set so that switch current spikes caused
by drain capacitance and rectifier reverse recovery time will not cause
premature termination of the MOSFET conduction period.
Safe Operating Area (SOA) Mode
Since the cycle-by-cycle OCP mechanism described above does not
prevent the possibility of inductor current ‘stair-casing’, an SOA mode
is also featured. Rapid build-up of the switch current can occur in the
event of inductor saturation or when the input and output voltage
differential is small combined with too little inductor reset time.
The SOA mode is triggered whenever the switch current reaches
current limit (IOCP) and the on-time is less than tSOA. The SOA mode
forces an off-time equal to tOFF(SOA) and pulls the internal error-voltage
(VE) down by 1/2 of its maximum value in order to ensure the switch
remains within its SOA.
Fast Output Voltage Overvoltage Protection (FBOV)
The HiperPFS-4 features a voltage feedback threshold comparator on
the FEEDBACK pin which detects an output voltage overvoltage
condition to allow rapid response, independent of the COMPENSATION pin response, to prevent hazardous voltage conditions from
occurring. The overvoltage protection is hysteretic – the voltage on
the FEEDBACK pin must drop by 0.1 V (equating to an output voltage
drop of 10 V) before switching is re-started.
FEEDBACK to COMPENSATION Pin Short Detection Safeguard
The PFC controller continuously monitors the FEEDBACK and
COMPENSATION pins to ensure that there are no potential short
conditions between the adjacent FEEDBACK and COMPENSATION
pins, which could result in output overvoltage conditions if not
detected. In the event a potential short is detected, a rapid short
check is performed and a shutdown is executed in the event that a
suspected short is validated.

PFS7x23-7x29/7633-7636
Open FEEDBACK Pin Protection
The FEEDBACK pin continuously sinks a static current of IFBPD [VCC
>VCCUVLO+] to protect against a fault related to an open FEEDBACK pin
or incomplete feedback divider network. The internal current sink
introduces a small static offset to the output regulation which can be
accounted for in selecting the output feedback regulation components
(FEEDBACK pin divider).
Hysteretic Thermal Shutdown
The thermal shutdown circuit senses the controller die temperature
which is well coupled to the heat sink through the exposed, grounded
pad. The threshold is set at 117 °C typical with a 36 °C hysteresis.
When the controller die temperature rises above this threshold (OTP),
the controller initiates a soft-shutdown and remains disabled until the
controller die temperature falls by ~36 °C, at which point the device
will re-initiate the start-up sequence.
The maximum time delay for soft-shutdown to occur after an OTP
event is detected is tOTP beyond the next zero-crossing.
HiperPFS-4 Additional Features and Changes
HiperPFS-4 (eSIP) maintains similar pin-out as HiperPFS-3.
• The breakdown voltage rating of the PFC MOSFET and diode has
been increased to 600 V.
• PFC output voltage can be designed for up to 440 VDC output to
allow operation with 277 VAC line voltage.

Application Example for H and L Packages
coil reverse voltage during de-assertion transitions. Resistor R5 limits
the current to the diode in the optocoupler. IC U3 provides optocoupler isolation through connector J2 for a power-good output signal if
required.
A High Efficiency, 275 W, 385 VDC Universal Input PFC
The circuit shown in Figure 13 is designed using a device from the
HiperPFS-4 family of integrated PFC controllers. This design is rated
for a continuous output power of 275 W and provides a regulated
output voltage of 385 VDC nominal, maintaining a high input power
factor and overall efficiency from light load to full load.
Capacitor C15 is used for reducing the loop length and area of the
output circuit to reduce EMI and overshoot of voltage across the
drain and source of the MOSFET inside U1 at each switching edge.
The PFS7627H IC requires a regulated supply of 12 V for operation
(15 V max). Resistors R6, R7, R8, Zener diode VR1, and transistor Q2
form a series pass regulator that prevents the supply voltage to IC U1
from exceeding 15 V. Capacitors C8, and C9 filter the supply voltage
and provide bypassing and decoupling to ensure reliable operation of
IC U1. Diode D3 provides reverse polarity protection.
Fuse F1 provides protection to the circuit and isolates it from the AC
supply in the event of a fault. Diode bridge BR1 rectifies the AC input
voltage. Capacitors C1-C7 together with inductors L2 and L3 form
the EMI filter which reduces the common mode and differential mode
noise. Resistors R1, R2 and CAPZero-2, IC U2 are required to
discharge the EMI filter capacitors once the circuit is disconnected.
CAPZero-2 eliminates static losses in R1 and R2 by only connecting
these components across the input when AC is removed.
Resistor R15 programs the output voltage level [via the POWER
GOOD THRESHOLD (PGT) pin] below which the POWER GOOD [PG]
pin will go into a high-impedance state. Capacitor C14 provides noise
immunity on the POWER GOOD THRESHOLD pin.
Metal oxide varistor (MOV) RV1 protects the circuit during line surge
events by effectively clamping the input voltage seen by the power
supply.
IC U1 is configured in full power mode by capacitor C10 which is
connected to the REFERENCE pin.
Inductor L1 and boost diode D4 in conjunction with HiperPFS-4 IC U1,
form the boost converter stage, controlling the input current of the
power supply while simultaneously regulating the output DC voltage.
Diode D2 prevents a resonant buildup of output voltage at start-up by
bypassing inductor L1 while simultaneously charging output capacitor
C18.
The rectified AC input voltage of the power supply is sensed by IC U1
using resistors R10-R13. These resistors values are large to minimize
power consumption. Capacitor C11 connected in parallel with the
bottom resistor R13 filters noise coupled into the VOLTAGE MONITOR
pin.
Output voltage divider network comprising resistors R16 – R19 are
used to scale the output voltage and provide feedback to the IC.
Capacitor C16 in parallel with resistor R19 attenuates high frequency
noise.
Thermistor RT1 limits the inrush input current of the circuit at start-up
and prevents saturation of L1. However in the highest efficiency
designs, an electro-mechanical relay RL1 will be used to bypass the
thermistor once the output voltage is in regulation as indicated by a
power good signal (asserted low). Resistors R3 and R4, and transistor
Q1, drive relay RL1 and optocoupler U3. Diode D1 clamps the relay
Components R14, C12 and C13 are required for shaping the loop
response of the feedback network.

Design, Assembly, and Layout Considerations
Power Table
The data sheet power table as shown in Table 2 represents the
maximum practical continuous output power based on the following
conditions:
For the universal input devices (PFS7x23L/H – PFS7629H):
1. An input voltage range of 90 VAC to 264 VAC.
2. Overall efficiency of at least 93% at the lowest operating voltage.
3. 385 V nominal output.
4. Sufficient heat sinking to keep device temperature ≤100 ºC.
Operation beyond the limits stated above will require de-rating.
Operation at elevated temperatures could result in reduced MTBF and
performance degradation, e.g. reduced efficiency, reduced power
limit, PF, and potential of observing hysteretic brown-out, etc., and is
not recommended.
HiperPFS-4 Selection
Selection of the optimum HiperPFS-4 part depends on required
maximum output power, PFC efficiency and overall system efficiency
(when used with a second stage DC-DC converter), heat sinking
constraints, system requirements and cost goals. The HiperPFS-4
part used in a design can be easily replaced with the next higher or
lower part in the power table to optimize performance, improve
efficiency or for applications where there are thermal design
constraints. Minor adjustments to the inductance value and EMI filter
components may be necessary in some designs when the next higher
or the next lower HiperPFS-4 part is used in an existing design for
performance optimization.
Every HiperPFS-4 family part has an optimal load level where it offers
the most value. Operating frequency of a part will change depending
on load level. Change of frequency will result in change in peak to
peak current ripple in the inductance used. Change in current ripple
will affect input PF and total harmonic distortion of input current.
Input Fuse and Protection Circuit
The input fuse should be rated for a continuous current above the
input current at which the PFC turns-off due to input undervoltage.
This voltage is referred to as the brown-out voltage.
The fuse should also have sufficient I2t rating in order to avoid
nuisance failures during start-up. At start-up a large current is drawn
from the input as the output capacitor charges to the peak of the
applied voltage. The charging current is only limited by any inrush
limiting thermistors, impedance of the EMI filter inductors and the
forward resistance of the input rectifier diodes. A MOV will typically
be required to protect the PFC from line surges. Selection of the
MOV rating will depend on the energy level (EN1000-4-5 Class level)
which the PFC is required to withstand.
A suitable NTC thermistor should be used on the input side to provide
inrush current limiting. Choice of this thermistor should depend on
the inrush current specification for the power supply. NTC thermistors may not be placed in any other location in the circuit as they fail
to limit the stress on the part in the event of line transients and also
fail to limit the inrush current in a predictable manner. The example
in Figure 13 shows the circuit configuration that has the inrush
limiting NTC thermistor on the input side which is bypassed with a
relay after PFC start-up. This arrangement ensures that a consistent
inrush limiting performance is achieved by the circuit.
Input EMI Filter
The variable switching frequency of the HiperPFS-4 effectively
modulates the switching frequency and reduces conducted EMI peaks
associated with the harmonics of the fundamental switching frequency.
This is particularly beneficial for the average detection mode used in
EMI measurements.
The PFC is a switching converter and will need an EMI filter at the
input in order to meet the requirements of most safety agency
standards for conducted and radiated EMI. Typically a common
mode filter with X capacitors connected across the line will provide
the required attenuation of high frequency components of input
current to an acceptable level. The leakage reactance of the common
mode filter inductor and the X capacitors form a low pass filter. In
some designs, additional differential filter inductors may have to be
used to supplement the differential mode inductance of the commonmode choke.
A filter capacitor with low ESR and high ripple current capability
should be connected at the output of the input bridge rectifier. This
capacitor reduces the generation of the switching frequency
components of the input current ripple and simplifies EMI filter
design. Typically, 0.33 mF per 100 W should be used for universal
input designs and 0.15 mF per 100 W of output power should be used
for 230 VAC only designs.
It is often possible to use a higher value of capacitance after the
bridge rectifier and reduce the X capacitance in the EMI filter.
For applications where PF at light load is important, be aware that all
capacitors prior to the boost stage are not corrected for PF and thus
the larger the capacitor value may degrade PF performance at light
load
Regulatory requirements require use of a discharge resistor to be
connected across the input X capacitance on the AC side of the
bridge rectifier. This is to ensure that residual charge is dissipated
after the input voltage is removed when the capacitance is higher
than 0.1 mF. Use of CAPZero-2 integrated circuits from Power
Integrations, helps eliminate the steady-state losses associated with
the use of discharge resistors connected permanently across the X
capacitors.
Inductor Design
For ferrite inductors the optimal design has KP of 0.3 to 0.45. (KP is
defined as the current peak-to-peak value divided by the peak value
at minimum AC voltage and 90° phase angle, full load). KP 0.45 tends towards excessive winding AC resistance losses due to
large high-frequency AC currents, especially since most ferrite
inductor designs will require >3 winding layers. Flux density at
maximum current limit should be 2.42 V
