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
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 time-
constant 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
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.
Figure 3.
G
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.

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). Integrat-
ing 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 volt-
second 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 (t
OFF
). The off-time is controlled such that:
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:

Since the volt-seconds during the on-time must equal the volt-

The relationship of (4) demonstrates that by controlling a constant
amp-second on-time and constant volt-second off-time, the input
current I

is proportional to the input voltage V
IN
, 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.

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 (M
ON
) then integrated and
compared with the error-amplifier signal (V
E
) 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 (V
OFF
) 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 (M
ON
) 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 M
ON
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 M
ON
variable is
dynami-
cally 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.
PI-5335-061615
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 (V
BR+
) 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
(V
BR-
) 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 (V
OUT
) during
start-up, resulting in a relatively soft controlled start-up.
Once the applied VCC is above the VCC
UVLO+
threshold, and the output
of the on-chip V
REF
regulator is above REF
UV+
, 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 V
BR+
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.
