FAN4803-8-Pin PFC and PWM Controller Combo

The FAN4803 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 compli-
ant to IEC1000-3-2 specifications. The FAN4803 includes
circuits for the implementation of a leading edge, average
current boost” type PFC and a trailing edge, PWM.
The FAN4803-1’s PFC and PWM operate at the same
frequency, 67kHz. The PFC frequency of the FAN4803-2 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.
