power factor is obtained.

The FAN7527B is an active power factor correction(PFC)

controller for boost PFC application which operates in the
critical conduction mode. It turns on MOSFET when the
inductor current reaches zero and turns off MOSFET when
the inductor current meets the desired input current reference
voltage as shown in Fig. 1. In this way, the input current
waveform follows that of the input voltage, therefore a good

2. Device Block Description

2-1. Error Amplifier and Over Voltage
Protection Block
The sensed and divided output voltage is fedback to the error
amplifier inverting input(INV) to regulate the output
voltage. The non-inverting input is internally biased at 2.5V.
The error amp output(EA_OUT) is internally connected to
the multiplier and is pinned out for the loop compensation.
Generally, the control loop bandwidth of PFC converter is
set below 20Hz to get a good power factor. In this
application, a capacitor is connected between INV and
EA_OUT. However, in case of over voltage condition, the
E/A must be saturated low as soon as possible, but the
narrow E/A bandwidth slows down the response. To make
the over voltage protection fast, the soft OVP and dynamic

OVP is added. The FAN7527B monitors the current flowing

into the EA_OUT pin. If the monitored current reaches about
30uA, the output of multiplier is forced to be decreased, thus
reducing the input current drawn from the mains(soft OVP).
If the monitored current exceeds 40uA, the OVP protection
is triggered(dynamic OVP), then the external power
transistor is switched off until the current falls below about
10uA. In this case, it disables some internal blocks reducing
the quiescent current of the chip to 2mA. However, if the
over voltage lasts so long that the output of E/A goes below
2.25V, then the protection is activated(static OVP) keeping
the output stage and the external power switch turned off.
The operation of the device is re-enabled as the E/A output
goes back into its linear region.

2-2. Multiplier
A single quadrant, two input multiplier is the critical element
that enables this device to get power factor correction. One
input of multiplier(Pin 3) is connected to an external resistor
divider which monitors the rectified ac line voltage. The
other input is internally driven by a DC voltage which is the
difference between error amplifier output (Pin 2) and
reference voltage, Vref. The multiplier is designed to have an
extremely linear transfer curve over a wide dynamic range,
0V to 3.8V for Pin 3, and 2.25V to 6V for error amplifier
output under all line and load conditions.
The multiplier output controls the current sense comparator
threshold voltage as the ac voltage traverses sinusoidally
from zero to peak line. This allows the inductor peak current
to follow the ac line thus forcing the average input current to
be sinusoidal. In other words, this has the effect of forcing
the MOSFET on-time to track the input line voltage,
resulting in a fixed drive output on-time, thus making the
pre-converter load appear to be resistive to the ac line.

The equation below describes the relationship between

multiplier output and its inputs.

2-3. Current Sense Comparator

The current sense comparator adopts the RS latch
configuration to ensure that only a single pulse appears at the
drive output during a given cycle. MOSFET drain current is
sensed using an external sense resistor in series with the
external MOSFET. When the sensed voltage exceeds the
threshold set by the multiplier output, the current sense
comparator turns off the MOSFET and resets the PWM
latch. The latch ensures that the output remains in a low state
after the MOSFET drain current falls back to zero.
The peak inductor current under the normal operating
condition is controlled by the multiplier output, Vmo. The
abnormal operating condition occurs during pre-converter

start-up at extremely high line or as output voltage sensing is

lost. Under these conditions, the multiplier output and
current sense threshold will be internally clamped to 1.8V.
Therefore, the maximum peak switch current is limited to:
Ipk(max) = 1.8V / Rsense
In the FAN7527B, an internal R/C filter has been included to
attenuate any high frequency noise that may be present on
the current waveform. This circuit block eliminates the need
for an external R/C filter otherwise required for proper
operation of the circuit.

APPLICATION NOTE

2-4. Zero Current Detector

FAN7527B operates as a critical conduction current mode
controller. The zero current detector switches on the external
MOSFET as the voltage across the boost inductor reverses,
just after the current through the boost inductor has gone to
zero. The slope of the inductor current is indirectly detected
by monitoring the voltage across an auxiliary winding and
connecting it to the zero current detector Pin 5.
Once the inductor current reaches ground level, the polarity
of the voltage across the winding is reversed. When the Idet
input falls below 1.5V, the comparator output is triggered to
the low state. To prevent false tripping, 0.5V hysteresis is

provided. The zero current detector input is protected

internally by two clamps. The upper 7.2V clamp prevents
input over voltage breakdown while the lower 0.75V clamp
prevents substrate injection. An internal current limit resistor
protects the lower clamp transistor in case the Idet pin is
shorted to ground accidentally. A watchdog timer function is
added to the IC to eliminate the need for an external
oscillator when used in stand-alone applications. The timer
provides a means to start or restart the pre-converter
automatically if the drive output has been off for more than
150us after the inductor current reached zero.

2-5. Output Drive

The FAN7527B contains a single totem-pole output stage
designed specifically for a direct drive of power MOSFET.
The drive output is capable of up to 500mA peak current
with a typical rise and fall time of 130ns, 50ns respectively
with a 1.0nF load. Additional circuitry has been added to
keep the drive output in a sinking mode whenever the UVLO
is active. This characteristic eliminates the need for an
external gate pull-down resistor. Internal voltage clamping
ensures that the output driver is always lower than 14V when
supply voltage exceeds the rated Vgs of the external
MOSFET. This eliminates an external zener diode and extra
power dissipation associated with it that otherwise is
required for the reliable circuit operation.

frequency has to be above the audio frequency.
The switching period is maximum when the input voltage is
highest at maximum load condition. TS(max) is a function of
Vin(peak) and VO. It can have maximum value at highest line
or at lowest line according to VO. Check TS(max)
at
Vin(peak_min) and Vin(peak_max) , then take the higher value
for the maximum switching period. The boost inductor value

Maximum MOSFET rms current is obtained by (15) and the

conduction loss of the MOSFET is calculated by (16). When
MOSFET turns on the MOSFET current rises slowly so the
turn on loss is negligible. MOSFET turn off loss and
MOSFET discharge loss are obtained by (17) and (18)
respectively. The switching frequency of the critical
conduction mode boost PFC converter varies according to
the line condition and load condition. Therefore the
switching frequency is the average value during a line
period. The total MOSFET loss can be calculated by (19)
and then a MOSFET can be selected considering MOSFET
thermal characteristic.

The value is calculated on the assumption that the

gate-source voltage should be a square waveform, i.e, abrupt
changes with no rising or falling time.
Thus the drive current can not reach 500mA during the rising
or falling time although Rg of 32 is used.
10 is recommended as the Rg in order to the MOSFET
switching loss. The experimental results shows that the gate
peak current goes up to 300mA with 10.
Diode average current can be calculated by (21). The total
diode loss can be calculated by (22) and then a diode can be
selected considering diode thermal characteristic.

R1 is determined by the maximum output over voltage,

The feedback loop bandwidth must be narrower than 20Hz

for the PFC application. Therefore a capacitor is connected
between INV and EA_OUT to eliminate the 120Hz ripple
voltage by 40dB. The error amp compensation capacitor can
be calculated by (24). To improve the power factor, Ccomp
must be increased than the calculated value. And to improve
the system response, Ccomp must be lowered than the
calculated value.

supply IC operating current before the auxiliary winding
supplies IC operating current maintaining Vcc voltage higher
than the UVLO voltage. Therefore the start-up

The maximum start-up resistor is 1 M and the minimum is

Then the minimum input voltage sensing gain is determined
