5.3 Burst Mode

Burst mode is used to improve system efficiency when the
system output power (P

o

) is <5% of nominal. Burst mode is

implemented by intermittently disabling the PFC over a full
half-line period under light-load conditions, as shown in
Figure 14.

5.4 Output Power and PFC Boost Inductor

In normal operating mode, the nominal output power is
estimated by the following equation:

where:
P

o

rated output power of the system

efficiency of the boost converter (estimated as 100%

by the PFC algorithm)

V

in(min)

minimum RMS line voltage is 90V, measured after
the rectifier and EMI filter

V

link

nominal PFC output voltage (must be 400V)

f

max

maximum switching frequency is 70kHz

L

B

boost inductor specified by rated power requirement

<1

margin factor to guarantee rated output power (P

o

)

against boost inductor tolerances.

Equation 1 is provided for explanation purposes only. Using
substituted required design values for V

link

and f

max

gives the

following equation:

Changing the value for the V

link

voltage is not recommended.

Solving Equation 2 for the PFC boost inductor, L

B

, gives the

following equation:

If a value of the boost inductor other than that obtained from
Equation 3 above is used, the total output power capability
and the minimum input voltage threshold will differ according
to Equation 2. Note that if the input voltage drops below
90Vrms and the inductance value is <L

B

, the link voltage V

link

will drop below 400V and fall out of regulation.

5.5 PFC Output Capacitor

The value of the PFC output capacitor needs to be selected
based upon voltage ripple and hold-up requirements. To
ensure system stability with the digital controller, the
recommended value of the capacitor is within the range of
0.5

F/watt to 2.0F/watt with a V

link

voltage of 400V.

5.6 Output IFB Sense and Input IAC Sense

A current proportional to the PFC output voltage, V

link

, is

supplied to the IC on pin IFB and is used as a feedback control
signal. This current is compared against an internal
fixed-value reference current.
The ADC is used to measure the magnitude of the I

IFB

current

through resistor R

IFB

. The magnitude of the I

IFB

current is then

compared to an internal reference current (I

ref

) of 129

A.
