General Description
The ML4801 is a controller for power factor corrected,
switched mode power supplies. Key features of this
combined PFC and PWM controller are low start-up and
operating currents. Power Factor Correction (PFC) allows
the use of smaller, lower cost bulk capacitors, reduces power
line loading and stress on the switching FETs, and results in
a power supply that fully complies with IEC1000-3-2
specifications. The ML4801 includes circuits for the
implementation of a leading edge, average current “boost”
type power factor correction and a trailing edge pulse width
modulator (PWM).
The PFC frequency of the ML4801 is automatically set at
half that of the PWM frequency generated by the internal
oscillator. This technique allows the user to design with
smaller output components while maintaining the optimum
operating frequency for the PFC. An over-voltage compara-
tor shuts down the PFC section in the event of a sudden
decrease in load. The PFC section also includes peak current
limiting and input voltage brown-out protection.
