Description

The FAN9611/12 family of interleaved dual Boundary- Conduction-Mode (BCM) Power-Factor-Correction (PFC) controllers operate two parallel-connected boost power trains 180° out of phase. Interleaving extends the maximum practical power level of the control technique from about 300W to greater than 800W. Unlike the continuous conduction mode (CCM) technique often used at higher power levels, BCM offers inherent zero- current switching of the boost diodes, which permits the use of less expensive diodes without sacrificing efficiency. Furthermore, the input and output filters can be smaller due to ripple current cancellation and effective doubling of the switching frequency. The converters operate with variable frequency, which is a function of the load and the instantaneous input / output voltages. The switch ing frequency is limited between 16.5kHz and 525kHz. The Pulse Width Modulators (PWM) implement voltage-mode control with input voltage feedforward. When configured for PFC applications, the slow voltage regulation loop results in constant on-time operation within a line cycle. This PWM method, combined with the BC M operation of the boost converters, provides automatic power factor correction. The controllers offers bias UVLO (10V / 7.5V for FAN9611 and 12.5V / 7.5V for FAN9612), input brownout, over-current, open-feedback, output over- voltage, and redundant latching over-voltage protections. Furthermore, the converters’ output power is limited independently of the input RMS voltage. Synchronization between the power stages is maintained under all operating conditions. Figure 1.

Application Information

  1. Synchronization and Timing Functions The FAN9611/12 employs a sophisticated synchronization sub-system. At the heart of the system is a dual-channel switching-frequency detector that measures the switching period of each channel in every switching cycle and locks their operating phase 180 degrees out of phase from each other. The slower operating frequency channel is dominant, but there is no master-slave arrangement. Moreover, as the frequency constantly changes due to the varying input voltage, either channel can be the slower dominant channel. As opposed to the most common technique, where the phase relationship between the channels is provided by changing the on-time of one of the MOSFETs, the FAN9611/12 controls the phase relationship by inserting a turn-on delay before the nex t switching period starts for the faster running phase. As shown in the literature [1], the on-time modulation technique is not stable under all operating conditions, while the off-time modulation (or delaying the turn-on) is unconditionally stable under all operating conditions. a. Restart Timer and Dead-Phase Detect Protection The restart timer is an integr al part of the Sync-Lock™ synchronizing circuit. It ensures exact 180-degree out- of-phase operation in restart timer operation. This is an important safety feature. In the case of a non-operating phase due to no ZCD detection, missing gate drive connection (for example no gate resistor), one of the power components failing in an open circuit, or similar errors, the other phase is locked into restart timer operation, preventing it from trying to deliver full power to the load. This is called the dead-phase detect protection. The restart timer is set to approximately 16.5kHz, just above the audible frequency range, to avoid any acoustic noise generation. b. Frequency Clamp Just as the restart time r, the frequency clamp is integrated into the synchron ization and ensures exact 180-degree out-of-phase operation when the operating frequency is limited. This mi ght occur at very light-load operation or near the zero crossing region of the line voltage waveform. Limiting the switching frequency at light load can improve effi ciency, but has a negative effect on power factor sinc e the converter also enters true DCM operation. The frequency clamp is set to approximately 525kHz. 2. FAN9612 Startup with 12V Bias (Less than UVLO) The FAN9612 (not FAN9611) is designed so that the controller can start even if the auxiliary bias voltage is less than the controller’s under-voltage lockout start threshold. This is useful if the auxiliary power is 12V or below. This configuration also allows bias power designs using a bootstrap wi nding to start the FAN9612 without a dedicated startup resistor. In the boost PFC topology, the output voltage is pre- charged to the peak line volt age by the boost diode. As soon as voltage is present at the output of the boost converter, current starts to flow through the feedback resistors from the boost output to GND. Using an external low-voltage MOSFET in series with the lower resistor in the feedback divider, as shown in Figure 27; this current can be diverted to charge the V DD bypass capacitor of the controller. The upper resistor becomes a current source to charge the capacitor. To accomplish this, a small external diode should be connected between the VDD and FB pins. As VDD rises past the under-voltage lockout threshold of the IC, the 5V reference is turned on, which turns on the external MOSFET and connects the resistor of the feedback divider to ground. The IC checks if the FB voltage is below 3.22V, ensuri ng that the FB pin is in its normal operating voltage range, before enabling the rest of the IC operation. The diode between the FB pin and the VDD pin is reverse biased and the FB pin reverts to its normal role of output vo ltage sensing. A simplified circuit implementation for this proprietary startup method is shown in Figure 27. If, for whatever reason, the bias to the IC drops below the under-voltage lockout leve l, the startup process is repeated.

Disabling the FAN9611/12 There are four ways to disable the FAN9611/12. It is important to understand how the part reacts for the various shutdown procedures. a. Pull the SS Pin to GND . This method uses the error amplifier to stop the oper ation of the power supply. By pulling the SS pin to GND, the error amplifier’s non-inverting input is pulle d to GND. The amplifier senses that the inverting input (FB pin) is higher than the reference voltage and tries to adjust its output (COMP pin) to make the FB pin equal to the reference at the SS pin. Due to the slow speed of the voltage loop in PFC applications, this might take several line cycles. Thus, it is important to consider that by pulling the SS pin to GND, the power supply is not shut down immediately. Recovery from a shut down follows normal soft-start procedure when the SS pin is released. b. Pull the FB Pin to GND . By pulling the FB pin below the open feedback protection threshold of approximately 0.5V, the power supply can be shut down immediately. It is imperative that the FB is pulled below the threshold very quickly since the power supply keeps switching until this threshold is crossed. If the feedback is pulled LOW softly and does not cross the threshold, the power supply tries to deliver maximum power because the FB pin is forced below the reference voltage of the error amplifier on the SS pin. Eventually, as FB is pulled to GND, the SS capacitor is pulled LOW by the internal clamp between the FB and SS pins. The SS pin stays approximately 0.5V higher than the FB pin itself. Therefore, recovery from a shut down state follows normal soft-start procedure when the FB pin is released as the voltage across the SS capacitor starts ramping from a low value. c. Pulling the COMP Pin to GND . When the COMP pin is pulled below the PWM ramp offset, approximately 0.195V, the FAN9611/12 stops sending gate drive pulses to the power MOSFETs. This condition is similar to pulse skipping under no- load condition. If any load is still present at the output of the boost PFC stage, the output voltage decreases. Consequently, the FB pin decreases and the SS capacitor voltage is pulled LOW by the internal clamp between the FB and SS pins. At that point, the operation and eventual recovery to normal operation is similar to the mechanism described above. If the COMP pin is held LOW for long enough to pull the SS pin LOW, the recovery follows normal soft-start procedure when the COMP pin is released. If the SS capacitor is not pulled LOW as a result of a momentary pull-down of the COMP pin, the recovery is still soft due to the fact that a limited current s ource is charging the compensation capacitors at the output of the error amplifier. Nevertheless, in this case, output voltage overshoot can occur before the voltage loop enters closed-loop operation and resumes controlling the output voltage again. d. Pull the VIN Pin to GND . Since the VIN sense circuit is configured to ride through a single line cycle dropout test without shutting down the power supply, this method results in a delayed shutdown of the converter. The FA N9611/12 stops operation approximately 20ms to 32ms after the VIN pin is pulled LOW. The delay depends on the phase of the line cycle at which the pull-down occurs. This method triggers the input brownout protection (input under-voltage lockout), which gradually discharges the compensation capacitor. As the output voltage decreases, the FB pin falls, pulling LOW the SS capacitor voltage. Simila rly to the shutdown, once the VIN pin is released, operation resumes after several milliseconds of delay needed to determine that the input voltage is above the turn-on threshold. At least one line cycle peak must be detected above the turn-on threshold before operation can resume at the following line voltage zero-crossing. The converter starts following normal soft-start procedure. 7. Layout and Connection Guidelines For high-power applications, two or more PCB layers are recommended to effectively use the ground pattern to minimize the switching noise interference. The FAN9611/12 incorporates fast-reacting input circuits, short propagati on delays, and strong output stages capable of delivering cu rrent peaks over 1.5A to facilitate fast voltage transit ion times. Many high-speed power circuits can be susceptible to noise injected from their own output or external sources, possibly causing output re-triggering. These effects can be especially obvious if the circuit is tested in breadboard or non- optimal circuit layouts with long input or output leads. The following guidelines are recommended for all layout designs, but especially strongly for the single-layer PCB designs. (For example of a 1-layer PCB design, see the Application Note AN-6086.) General  Keep high-current output and power ground paths separate from analog input signals and signal ground paths.  For best results, make connections to all pins as short and direct as possible. Power Ground and Analog Ground  Power ground (PGND) and analog ground (AGND) should meet at one point only.  All the control components should be connected to AGND without sharing the trace with PGND.  The return path for the gate drive current and VDD capacitor should be connected to the PGND pin.  Minimize the ground loops between the driver outputs (DRV1, DRV2), MOSFETs, and PGND.  Adding the by-pass capacitor for noise on the VDD pin is recommended. It should be connected as close to the pin as possible.

This minimizes the length and the loop area (series inductance) of the high-current gate drive traces. The gate drive pattern should be as short as possible to minimize interference. Current Sensing  Current sensing should be as short as possible.  To minimize switching noise, current sensing should not make a loop. Input Voltage Sensing (VIN)  Since the impedance of voltage divider is large and FAN9611/12 detects the peak of the line voltage, the VIN pin can be sensitive to the switching noise. The trace connected to this pin should not cross traces with high di/dt to minimize the interference.  The noise bypass capacitor for VIN should be connected as close to the pin as possible.

The first equation determines the capacitor value based on the a llowable ripple voltage at the minimum line frequency. It is important to remember that the scaled version of this ripple is present at the FB pin. The feedback voltage is continuously monitored by the non-latching over volta ge protection circuit. Its threshold is about 8% higher the nominal output voltage. To avoid triggering the OVP protection during normal operation, V OUT,RIPPLE should be limited to less 12% of the nominal output voltage, VOUT. The second expression yields the minimum output capacitance based on the required hold-up time based on the power supply specificat ion. Ultimately, the larger of the two values satisfies both design requirements and has to be selected for COUT.

If the power loss associated to the feedback divider is critical to meet stand-by power consumption regulations, it might be beneficial to start the calculation by choosing P FB. Otherwise, the current of feedback divider, I FB should be set to approximately 0.4mA at the desired output voltage set point. This value ensures that parasitic circuit board and pin capacitances do not introduce unwanted filtering effect in the feedback path. If the feedback divider is used to provide startup power for the FAN9611/12 (see AN-6086 for implementation details), the following equation is used to calculate R FB2:    OUT ONLINE, FB2 V0.12mA 0.7V312.5VV23VR  where 3V is the reference voltage of the error amplifier at its non-inverting input; 12.5V is the controller’s UVLO turn-on threshold; 0.12mA is the worst-case startup current required to start operation; and 3 ·0.7V accounts for the forward voltage drop of three diodes in series of the startup current.

It is imperative to limit the charge current of the outpu t capacitor to be able to maintain closed-loop soft-start of the converter. The 0.3 factor used in the C SS equation can prev ent output over voltage at the end of the soft -start period and provides sufficient margin to supply current to the load while the output capacitor is charging.

It is important to consider that the lowest output ripple frequency limits the voltage loop crossover frequency. In PFC applications, that frequency is two times the AC line frequency. Therefore, the voltage loop bandwidth (f0), is typically in the 5Hz to 15Hz range. To guarantee closed-loop soft-start operation under all conditions, it is recommended that: SSHFCOMP, C4C  (21) This relationship is determined by the ratio between the maximum output current of the g M error amplifier to the maximum charge current of the soft-start capacitor. Observing this correlation between the two capacitor values ensures that the co mpensation capacitor voltage can be adjusted faster than any voltage change taking place across the soft-start c apacitor. Therefore, during startup the voltage regulation loop’s response to the increasing soft-start voltage is not limited by the finite current capability of the error amplifier.

The pole should be placed at least a decade higher than f0 to ensure that it does not interfere with the phase margin of the voltage regulation loop at its crossover frequency. It should also be sufficiently lower then the switching frequency of the converter so noise can be effectively attenuated. The recommended f HFP frequency is around 120Hz in PFC applications. Step 14: Over-Voltage Protection Setting (OVP) OVP LATCHOUT, OV2 P V3.5VR  (24) where 3.5V is the threshold voltage of the OVP comparator and P OVP is the total dissipation of the resistive divider network. Typical P OVP power loss is in the 50mW to 100mW range. OV2 LATCHOUT, OV1 R13.5V VR    (25) ROV1 can be implemented as a series combination of two or three resistors; depending on safety regulations, maximum voltage, and or power rating of the selected resistor type. Step 15: Input Line Voltage Sense Resistors INSNSMIN,LINE MAX,LINE 2IN PV2 VV925.0R  (26) where 0.925V is the brown-out protection threshold at the VIN pin. V LINE,MIN is the minimum input RMS operating voltage. Its divided down level at the VIN pin corresponds to the 0.925V brown out protection threshold. VLINE,MAX is the maximum input RMS voltage anticipated in the design and P INSNS is the total power dissipation of the R IN1 - R IN2 divider when the input voltage equals V LINE,MAX. Typical P INSNS power loss is in the 50mW to 100mW range. IN2 MINLINE, IN1 R10.925V VR   2 (27) RIN1 can be implemented as a series combination of two or three resistors; depending on safety regulations, maximum voltage, and or power rating of the selected resistor type. μA2 V.0RR RV2 R IN2IN1 IN2ONLINE, INHYST 925 (28) where 0.925V is the thresh old voltage of the line under- voltage lockout comparator and 2 μA is the sink current provided at the VIN pin during line under-voltage (brownout) condition. The sink current, together with the terminating impedance of the VIN pin determines the hysteresis between the turn-on and turn-off thresholds.
