BLOCK DIAGRAM
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ML4803 is a space-saving controller for power factor
corrected, switched mode power supplies that offers very
low start-up and operating currents.
Power Factor Correction (PFC) offers the use of smaller,
lower cost bulk capacitors, reduces power line loading
and stress on the switching FETs, and results in a power
supply fully compliant to IEC1000-3-2 specifications. The
ML4803 includes circuits for the implementation of a
leading edge, average current “boost” type PFC and a
trailing edge, PWM.
The ML4803-1’s PFC and PWM operate at the same
frequency, 67kHz. The PFC frequency of the ML4803-2 is
automatically set at half that of the 134kHz PWM. This
higher frequency allows the user to design with smaller
PWM components while maintaining the optimum
operating frequency for the PFC. An overvoltage
comparator shuts down the PFC section in the event of a
sudden decrease in load. The PFC section also includes
peak current limiting for enhanced system reliability.
