Controller Application

Description

The highly integrated FAN4800AS/CS/01S/02S parts

are specially designed for power supplies that consist of

boost PFC and PWM. They require very few external

components to achieve versatile protections /

compensation. They are available in 16-pin DIP and

SOP packages.

The PWM can be used in either current or voltage

mode. In voltage mode, feed-forward from the PFC

output bus can reduce the secondary output ripple.

Compared with older productions, ML4800 and

FAN4800, FAN4800AS/CS/01S/02S have lower

operation current that saves power consumption in

external devices. FAN4800AS/CS/01S/02S have

accurate 49.9% maximum duty of PWM that makes the

hold-up time longer. Brownout protection and PFC soft-

start functions available in this series are not available

in ML4800 and FAN4800.

To evaluate FAN4800AS/CS/01S/02S for replacing

existing FAN4800 and ML4800 boards, five things must

be completed before the fine-tuning procedure:

1. Change RAC resister from the old value to a higher

resister: between 6MΩ to 8MΩ.

2. Change RT/CT pin from the existing values to

RT=6.8kΩ and CT=1000pF to have fPFC=64kHz and

fPWM=64kHz.

3. The VRMS pin needs to be 1.224V at VIN=85 VAC

for universal input application from line input from

85VAC to 270VAC.

4. At full load, the average VVEA needs to be ~4.5V

and the ripple of VVEA needs to be less than

400mV.

5. For the Soft-Start pin, the soft-start current has

been reduced to half the FAN4800 capacitor.

There are two differences from FAN4800A/C/01/02 to

FAN4800AS/CS/01S/02S:

1. Under-voltage protection debounce time is

extended to one second.

2. PWM gate clamp voltage is raised to 19V.

FAN4800AS/CS/01S/02S — PFC/PWM Controller Combination

Functional Description

The FAN4800AS/CS/01S/02S consist of an average

current controlled, continuous-boost, Power Factor

Correction (PFC) front-end and a synchronized Pulse

Width Modulator (PWM) back-end. The PWM can be

used in current or voltage mode. In voltage mode,

feedforward from the PFC output bus can help improve

the line regulation of PWM. 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).

In addition to power factor correction, a number of

protection features are built into this series. They

include soft-start, PFC over-voltage protection, peak

current limiting, brownout protection, duty cycle limiting,

and under-voltage lockout (UVLO).

Gain Modul at or

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 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 VRMS (except at

unusually low values of VRMS, where special gain

contouring takes over to limit power dissipation of the

circuit components under brownout conditions).

3. The output of the voltage error amplifier, VEA. The

gain modulator responds linearly to variations in VVEA.

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:

(

)

VRMS 0.7VI

EAAC

GAINMOD ×

−×

= (1)

Note that the output current of the gain modulator is

limited around 159μA and the maximum output voltage

of the gain modulator is limited to 159μA x 5.7k=0.906V.

This 0.906V also determines the maximum input power.

However, IGAINMOD cannot be measured directly from

ISENSE. ISENSE=IGAINMOD – IOFFSET and IOFFSET can only

be measured when VVEA is less than 0.5V and IGAINMOD

is 0A. Typical IOFFSET is around 31μA ~ 48μA.

Selecting RAC for the IAC Pin

The IAC pin is the input of the gain modulator and also

a current mirror input that 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 56kΩ. For example, if the

minimum line voltage is 75VAC, the RAC=75 x 1.414 x

56kΩ=6MΩ.

Current Amplifier Error, IEA

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 in 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.

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.

PFC Cycle-By-Cycle Current Li m iter

In addition to 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 less than -1.15V, 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.

FAN4800AS/CS/01S/02S • Rev. 1.0.1 14

FAN4800AS/CS/01S/02S — PFC/PWM Controller Combination

TriFault Detect™

To improve power supply reliability, reduce system

component count, and simplify compliance to UL1950

safety standards; the FAN4800AS/CS/01S/02S includes

TriFault Detect™ technology. This feature monitors

FBPFC for certain PFC fault conditions.

In a feedback path failure, the output of the PFC could

exceed safe operating limits. With such a failure, FBPFC

exceeds its normal operating area. Should FBPFC go too

low, too high, or open; TriFault Detect™ senses the error

and terminates the PFC output drive.

TriFault Detect is an entirely internal circuit. It requires no

external components to serve its protective function.

PFC Over-Voltage Protect ion

In the FAN4800AS/CS/01S/02S, 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 FBPFC. When the voltage on

FBPFC exceeds 2.75V, the PFC output driver is shut

down. The PWM section continues to operate. The OVP

comparator has 250mV of hysteresis and the PFC does

not restart until the voltage at FBPFC drops below 2.5V.

VDD OVP can also serve as a redundant PFC OVP

protection. VDD OVP threshold is 28V with 1V hysteresis.

Selecting PFC Rsense

Rsense is the sensing resistor of the PFC boost converter.

During the steady state, line input current x Rsense equals

IGAINMOD x 5.7kΩ.

At full load, the average VVEA needs to around 4.5V and

ripple on the VEA pin needs to be less than 400mV.

where 5.6 is VVEA maximum output voltage.

PFC Soft-Start

PFC startup is controlled by VVEA level. Before the

FBPFC voltage reaches 2.4V, the VVEA level is around

2.8V. At 90VAC, the PFC soft-start time is 90ms.

PFC Brownout

The AC UVP comparator monitors the AC input voltage.

The PFC is disabled as AC input lowers, causing VRMS to

be less than 1.05V.

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 26

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 IEA, which prevents the PFC

from immediately demanding a full duty cycle on its

boost converter. Complete design is discussed in

application note AN-6078SC.

There is an RC filter between Rsense and ISENSE pin.

There are two reasons to add a filter at the ISENSE pin:

1. Protection: During startup or inrush current conditions,

there is a large voltage across Rsense, the sensing

resistor of the PFC boost converter. It requires the

ISENSE filter to attenuate the energy.

2. To reduce inductance, 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, IEA.

The ISENSE filter is an RC filter. The resistor value of the

ISENSE filter is between 100Ω and 50Ω because IOFFSET x

RFILTER can generate a negative offset voltage of IEA.

Selecting an RFILTER equal to 50Ω keeps the offset of the

IEA less than 3mV. Design the pole of the 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 100nF.

Two- Level PFC Funct i on

To improve the efficiency, the system can reduce PFC

switching loss at low line and light load by reducing the

PFC output voltage. The two-level PFC output of the

FAN4801S/02S can be programmable.

As Figure 27 shows, FAN4801S/02S detect the voltage

of VEA and VRMS pins to determine if the system

operates low line and light load. At the second-level

PFC, there is a current of 20µA through RF2 from the

FBPFC pin. The second-level PFC output voltage can

be calculated as.

For example, if the second-level PFC output voltage is

expected as 300V and normal voltage is 387V,

according to the equation, RF2 is 28kΩ RF1 is 4.3MΩ.

The programmable range of second level PFC output

voltage is 340V ~ 300V.

Pulse Width Modulator (PWM)

The operation of the PWM section 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 (RAMP) is usually

derived directly from a current-sensing resistor or

current transformer in the primary side of the output

stage. It is thereby representative of the current flowing

in the converter’s output stage. ILIMIT, which provides

cycle-by-cycle current limiting, is typically connected to

RAMP in such applications. For voltage-mode

operation and certain specialized applications, RAMP

can be connected to a separate RC timing network to

generate a voltage ramp against which FBPWM is

compared. Under these conditions, the use of voltage

feedforward from the PFC bus can assist in line

regulation accuracy and response. As in current-mode

operation, the ILIMIT input is used for output stage over-

current protection. No voltage error amplifier is included

in the PWM stage, 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 RAMP input that allows FBPWM to command a

0% duty cycle for input voltages below typical 1.5V.

PWM Cycle-by-Cycle Current Limiter

The ILIMIT pin is a direct input to the cycle-by-cycle

current limiter for the PWM section. Should the input

voltage at this pin exceed 1V, the output flip-flop is reset

by the clock pulse at the start of the next PWM power

cycle. When the ILIMIT triggers the cycle-by-cycle bi-cycle

current, it limits the PWM duty cycle mode and the power

dissipation is reduced during the dead-short condition.

VIN OK Comparator

The VIN OK comparator monitors the DC output of the

PFC and inhibits the PWM if the voltage on FBPFC is

less than its nominal 2.4V. Once the voltage reaches

2.4V, which corresponds to the PFC output capacitor

being charged to its rated boost voltage, soft-start begins.

PWM Soft-Start (SS)

PWM startup is controlled by selection of the external

capacitor at soft-start. A current source of 10µA

supplies the charging current for the capacitor and

startup of the PWM begins at 1.5V.

FAN4800AS/CS/01S/02S • Rev. 1.0.1 16

FAN4800AS/CS/01S/02S — PFC/PWM Controller Combination

PWM Control (RAMP)

When the PWM section is used in current mode, RAMP

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, RAMP is the input for a ramp voltage

generated by a second set of timing components

(RRAMP, CRAMP) that have a minimum value of 0V and a

peak value of approximately 6V. In voltage mode,

feedforward from the PFC output bus is an excellent

way to derive the timing ramp for the PWM stage.

Generating VDD

After turning on the FAN4800AS/CS/01S/02S at 11V,

the operating voltage can vary from 9.3V to 28V. The

threshold voltage of the VDD OVP comparator is 28V

and its hysteresis is 1V. When VDD reaches 28V, OPFC

is LOW and the PWM section is not disturbed. There

are two ways to generate VDD: use auxiliary power

supply around 15V or use bootstrap winding to self-bias

the FAN4800AS/CS/01S/02S system. The bootstrap

winding can be taped from the PFC boost choke or the

transformer of the DC-to-DC stage.

Leading/Trailing Edge Modulati on

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.

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.
