Description
The FAN9672 is an interleaved two-channel Continuous
Conduction Mode (CCM) Power Factor Correction
(PFC) controller IC intended for PFC pre-regulators.
Incorporating circuits for leading edge, average current,
and “boost”-type power factor correction; the FAN9672
enables the design of a power supply that fully complies
with the IEC1000-3-2 specification. Interleaved
operation provides substantial reduction in the input and
output ripple currents and the conducted EMI filtering
becomes simpler and cost effective.
An innovative channel-management function allows the
power level of the slave channels to be loaded and
unloaded smoothly according to the setting voltage on
the CM pin, improving the PFC converter’s load
transient response.
The FAN9672 also incorporates a variety of protection
functions, including: peak current limiting, input voltage
brownout protection, and TriFault Detect function.

Name
Description
1
BIBO
Brown-In /Out Level Setting. This pin is used for brown in /out setting.
2
PVO
Programmable Output Voltage. DC voltage from a microcontroller (MCU) can be applied to this
pin to program the output voltage level. The operation range is 3.5 V ~ 0.5 V. If VPVO < 0.5 V, the
PVO function is disabled.
3
ILIMIT
Current Command Clamp Setting. Average current mode is to control the average value of
inductor current by a current command. Connecting a resistor and a capacitor to this pin can
determine a limit value of the current command.
4
GC
Setting of Gain Modulator. A resistor, connected from this pin to ground, is used to adjust the
output level of the gain modulator. A small capacitor connected from this pin to GND is
recommended for noise filtering.
5
RI
Oscillator Setting. There are two oscillator frequency ranges: 18 k~40 kHz and 50 k~75 kHz.
A resistor connected from RI to ground determines the switching frequency. A resistor value
between 10.6 k ~ 44.4 kΩ is recommended.
6
RLPK
Ratio of VLPK and VIN. Connect a resistor and a capacitor to this pin to adjust the ratio of VIN peak
to VLPK. Typical value is 12.4 kΩ (1:100 of VLPK and VIN peak). The accuracy of VLPK is primarily
determined by the tolerance of RRLPK at this pin.
7
ILIMIT2
Peak Current Limit Setting. Connect a resistor and a capacitor to this pin to set the over-current
limit threshold and to protect power devices from damage due to inductor saturation. This pin sets
the over-current threshold for cycle-by-cycle current limit.
8
LPK
Peak of Line Voltage. This pin can be used to provide information about the peak amplitude of the
line voltage to an MCU.
9
RDY
Output Ready Signal. When the feedback voltage on FBPFC reaches 2.4 V, the RDY pin outputs
a high VRDY signal to inform the MCU that the downstream power stage can start normal operation.
If AC brownout is detected, the VRDY signal is LOW to signal to the MCU it is not ready.

13
CM1
Channel 1 Management Setting. This pin is used to configure the characteristic of PFC enable /
disable. The “PFC enabling” pull voltage on this pin is LOW (=0 V) to enable and HIGH (>4 V) to
disable the whole PFC system.
14
CM2
Channel 2 Management Setting. There are two control methods for channel 2. The first uses an
external signal to enable / disable channel 2 (VCM2 =0 V / VCM2 >4 V). The second is linear increase
/ decrease loading of channel 2 when power level, VVEA, triggers the setting level of VCM2.
15
NC
No Connection
16
VIR
Input Voltage Range Setting. A capacitor and a resistor are connected in parallel from this pin to
GND. When VVIR > 3.5 V, the PFC controller only works for the high-voltage input range (180 VAC ~
264 VAC) and RIAC must be 12 MΩ. When VVIR < 1.5 V, the PFC controller works for the full line
voltage range (90 VAC ~ 264 VAC) and RIAC must be 6 . Voltage 1.5 V to 3.5 V is not allowed.
17
LS
Setting for Current Predict Function. A resistor, connected from this pin to ground, is used to
adjust the compensation of the linear predict function (LPT). A small capacitor connected from this
pin to GND is recommended for noise filtering.

Theory of Operation
1. Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM)
The boost converter, shown in Figure 4, is the most
popular topology for power factor correction (PFC) in
AC-DC power supplies. This can be attributed to the
continuous input current waveform provided by the
boost inductor and the boost converter’s input voltage
range including 0 V. These fundamental properties
make close-to-unity power factor easier to achieve.
L
Figure 4. Basic PFC Boost Converter
The boost converter can operate in Continuous
Conduction Mode (CCM) or in Boundary Conduction
Mode (BCM). These two descriptive names refer to the
current flowing in the energy storage inductor of the
boost power stage.

Figure 5. CCM vs. BCM Control
As the names indicate, the current in Continuous
Conduction Mode (CCM) is continuous in the inductor.
In Boundary Conduction Mode (BCM), the new
switching period is initiated when the inductor current
returns to zero. There are many fundamental
differences in CCM and BCM operation and the
respective designs of the boost converter. The
FAN9672 is designed for CCM control, as Figure 5
shows. This method reduces inductor current ripple
because the start current of each cycle is typically not
0 A. The ripple is controlled by the operation frequency
and inductance design. This characteristic can decrease
the maximum peak current of the power semiconductor.
2. Gain Modulator (IAC, LPK, VEA)
The FAN9672 employs two control loops for power
factor correction: a current control loop and a voltage
control loop. The current control loop shapes inductor
current, as shown in Figure 6, through a current
command, IMO, from the gain modulator.

Figure 6. CCM PFC Operation Waveforms
The gain modulator is the block that provides the
reference to control PFC output power. The current of
the gain modulator, Imo, is a function of VVEA, IIAC, and
LPK; as shown in the Figure 7.
There are three inputs to the gain modulator:
IIAC
A current representing the instantaneous input
voltage (amplitude and wave shape) to the PFC.
The rectified AC input sine wave is converted to
a proportional current via a resistor and is fed
into the gain modulator on IAC. Sampling current
IIAC minimizes ground noise; important in high-
power, switching-power conversion
environment. The gain modulator responds
linearly to this current.
VLPK
Voltage proportional to the peak voltage of the
bridge rectifier when the PFC is working. The
signal is the output of peak-detect circuit and its
input is from the IAC pin. This factor of the gain
modulator is input-voltage feed-forward control.
This voltage information is not valid when the
PFC is not working.
VVEA
The output of the voltage error amplifier, VVEA.
The gain modulator responds linearly to
variations in this voltage.
The output of the gain modulator is a current signal, IMO,
calculated by Equation (1):

The current signal, IMO, is in the form of a full-wave
rectified sinusoid at twice the line frequency. The gain
modulator forms the reference for the current error loop
and ultimately controls the instantaneous current drawn
from the power line.

3. Current Balance
Current matching of the different channels is important
for interleaved control. There are have several main
points that need to careful consideration on this topic.
The current control of each channel is based on the
sense signal, VCS, to track the current command of the
multiplier, as shown in Figure 8.
IL, High Inductance/Frequency
AVG
IL, Low Inductance/Frequency
Figure 8. Average Current Mode Control
The main factors to system balance are layout and
device tolerance. The tolerance of the shunt resistor for
the current sense is especially important. If the feedback
signal, VCS, has a large deviation due to the tolerance of
the sense resistor; the current of the channels is
unbalanced. A high precision resistor is necessary.
High-power applications require the system current be
large, so the distance of the layout trace between the
current sense resistors and the controller or power
ground (negative of output capacitor) to IC ground is
important, as Figure 9 shows. The longer trace and
larger current make the offset voltage and ground
bounce differ significantly for different channels.
Decreasing the deviation can balance the different
channels. Follow the layout guidance of application
notes AN-4164 and AN-4165.

4. Interleaving
The FAN9672 controller is used to control two channel
boost converters connected in parallel. The controller
operates in average-current mode and Continuous
Conduction Mode (CCM). Each channel affords one-
third the power when the system operates close to full
load or when channel management is disabled.
Parallel power processing increases the number of
power components, but the current rating of
independent channels is reduced, so power
semiconductors with lower current ratings can be
applied. Another advantage of interleaved control is that
the net output current ripple is the average of all
interleaved channels’ current ripple values. This results
in a much lower net current ripple at the output
capacitor, which extends the life cycle of the capacitor.
The switches of the two boost converters can be
operated at two-channel / 180° out of phase. The
interleaving controller can reduce the total ripple current
of input. The FAN9672 offers two types of channel
management method selectable by the user.

5. Channel Management / CM Control
The CM pin is used for channel management. The
relationship of CM and the gain of the slave channel is
shown in Figure 10. The level of CM determines the
power level (VVEA) for reducing the output power for the
slave PFC. The FAN9672 starts to reduce the current
command (IMO*RM) for channel 2 by gain 2 when the
VVEA level is lower than its CM level, as Figure 11 and
Figure 12 show. The output power of the slave channel
is reduced in response to the reduction of current.
Typical Gain2 is 1~0. Example: when CM2 is set in 3 V
and VVEA is less than the CM2 voltage, the CM block
reduces the command for channel 2 as:

6. Channel Management 2: External Control
To disable the Channel Management (CM) function and
control the channels with an external signal from the
MCU, the configuration is shown in Figure 14. If VCM
>4 V, the channel is disabled. To enable the channel,
VCM must be 0 V, as Figure 15 shows.
The CM pin of the slave should be connected with a
switch S2 to ground. When VVEA < VP2-OFF-L, the slave
PFC turns off. If VVEA > VP2-OFF-H, the slave PFC turns
on. One pin of MCU must read the VVEA signal to
determine when to turn on / off the slave. (VP2-OFF-L and
VP2-OFF-H are hysteresis levels required in MCU
software.) When S2 turns on, CM disables and the slave
works normally, as shown in Figure 16.

Current-Control Loop of Boost Stage
As shown in Figure 18, there are two control loops for
PFC: a current-control loop and a voltage-control loop.
Based on the reference signal obtained at the IAC pin,
the relationship of current loop as:
MLUIACLUMMOCSLRGGIGRIRI
(4)
The current sense IL*RCS is controlled by the current
command from the multiplier; IMO*RM. The IMO is the
relationship of three input factors: IAC, VEA, and LPK.
Gain2 is a gain between 0~1 from the channel
management block for the slave channel.
Voltage-Control Loop of Boost Stage
The voltage-control loop regulates PFC output voltage
by using the internal error amplifier, Gmv, such that the
FBPFC voltage is the same as the internal reference
voltage of 2.5 V. This stabilizes PFC output voltage and
decreases the 120 Hz ripple of the PFC output voltage.
PFC Over-Voltage Protection (OVP) protects the power
circuit from damage from an excessive voltage in a
sudden load change. When the voltage on FBPFC
exceeds 2.75 V, the PFC output driver shuts down.

TriFault Detect™
To improve power supply reliability, reduce system
component count, and simplify compliance to UL 1950
safety standards; the FAN9672 includes Fairchild’s
TriFault Detect technology. This feature monitors
FBPFC for certain PFC fault conditions.
In the event of a feedback path failure, the output of the
PFC can exceed operating limits. Should FBPFC go to
low, too high, or open; TriFault Detect senses the error
and terminates the PFC output drive.
TriFault Detect is an entirely internal circuit. It requires
no external components to perform its function.
PFC Over-Voltage Protection (OVP)
FAN9672 has an auto-restart OVP function. When the
feedback level, VFBPFC, of the PFC reaches 2.75 V
(reference level is 2.5 V); the PFC gate signal stops
until the output voltage decreases and VFBPFC returns to
2.5 V, when the PFC restarts regulation.
Linear Predict Function (GC & LC)
The linear predict function is used to emulate the
behavior of inductor current when the MOSFET is off.
The resistors on the GC and LS pins (RGC and RLS) are
used to adjust the DC gain and compensation,
respectively. The resistors are determined by:

410 ms. If VBIBO is over 1.9 V / 1.75 V, the PFC stage is
enabled. The VIR pin is used to set the AC input range

FAN9672 Two-Channel Interleaved CCM PFC Controller
Differential Current Sensing (CS+, CS-)
The FAN9672 has two groups of differential current
sensing pins. The CS+ and CS- are the inputs of
internal differential amplifier. Switching noise problems
in interleaved PFC control is more critical than on a
single channel, especially for current sensing. The
FAN9672 uses a differential amplifier to eliminate
switching noise from other channels. This makes the
PFC more stable in higher power applications and
eliminates switching noise from other channels. As
Figure 20 shows, ground bounce can be decreased by
a differential sense function.

Current-Limit Protection
The FAN9672 includes three “cases” of current-limit
protection to protect against OCP and inductor
saturation: VVEA, ILIMT, and ILIMIT2. The current limit
thresholds, VILIMIT1 and VILIMIT2, are controlled by the
selection of the resistor for the application.
Case 1, power (normal state): In the normal case,
current / power should be controlled by command VM
from the gain modulator. When VVEA rises to 6 V, the
output power and current of the system are at their
peak. The power and current can’t increase further.
Case 2, current limit 1 (abnormal state): The current
command from the gain modulator is k*IAC*VVEA/VLPK2.
When in abnormal state (e.g. AC cycle miss and return
in a short period), the VLPK has a delay before returning
to the original level. This delay significantly increases
the current command. If the command is greater than
the clamp Iimit level, VILIMIT, it limits as shown in Figure
22 and Figure 23. The peak current of this state can be
used as the maximum current designed for each
channel such that inductor current is not saturated.

Decreasing the PFC output voltage can improve the

modulate output voltage, as shown in Figure 24. This
function is controlled by an external voltage signal on

RDYF and AC Line Off / AC Sag
The RDY function is used to signal MCU that the
controller is ready and the power stage can start to
operate. When the feedback voltage of FBPFC rises to
2.4 V, the VRDY signal pulls HIGH to indicate to the MCU
that the next power stage can start, as shown in Figure
25. If the AC line is OFF (or AC signal drops for a long
time), the FAN9672 enters brownout and VRDY pulls
LOW to indicate to the MCU that the power stage
should stop, as shown in Figure 26. When the AC
signal drops for only a short time and the IC does not
brown out, the FAN9672 recovers the VPFC (same as
VFBFFC) when the AC signal is restored to normal, as
shown in Figure 27.
AC sag means the AC drops to a low level, such as
110 V / 220 V à 40 V. AC missing means the AC
drops to 0 V. If AC drops, the PFC attempts to transfer
energy to VO before VO drops to the 50% level. If AC is
0 V, the PFC can’t transfer energy. If the level reaches
50%; the PFC stops, resets, and waits for AC to return.

Figure 27. When AC Drops Only Briefly
Soft-Start
Soft-start is combined with RDY pin operation, as
Figure 25 through Figure 27 show. During startup, the
RDY pin remains LOW until the PFC output voltage
reaches 96% of its nominal value. When the supply
voltage of the downstream converter is controlled by the
RDY pin, the PFC stage starts with no load since the
downstream converter does not operate until the PFC
output voltage reaches a required level.
Usually, the error amplifier output, VEA, is saturated to
HIGH during startup because the actual output voltage
is less than the target value. VEA remains saturated to
HIGH until the PFC output voltage reaches its target
value. Once the PFC output reaches its target value,
the error amplifier comes out of saturation. However, it
takes several line cycles for VEA to drops to its proper
value for output regulation, which delivers more power
to the load than required, causing output voltage
overshoot. To prevent output voltage overshoot during
startup caused by the saturation of error amplifier, the
FAN9672 clamps the error amplifier output voltage
(VEA) by the VSS value until PFC output reaches 96% of
its nominal value.
Input Voltage Peak Detection
The input AC peak voltage is sensed at the IAC pin.
The input voltage is used for feed-forward control in the
gain modulator circuit and output to the LPK pin for
MCU use. All the functions require the RMS value of the
input voltage waveform. Since the RMS value of the AC
input voltage is directly proportional to its peak, it is
sufficient to find the peak instead of the more-
complicated and slower method of integrating the input
voltage over a half line cycle. The internal circuit of the
IAC pin works with peak detection of the input AC
waveform, as Figure 28 shows.
One of the important benefits of this approach is that
the peak indicates the correct RMS value even at no
load, when the HF filter capacitor at the input side of the
boost converter is not discharged around the zero-
crossing of the line waveform. Another notable benefit
is that, during line transients when the peak exceeds
the previously measured value, the input-voltage feed-
forward circuit can react immediately, without waiting for
a valid integral value at the end of the half line period.
Furthermore, lack of zero-crossing detection lead to
false integrator detection, while the peak detector works
properly during light-load operation.

The relationship of VIN.PK to VLPK is shown in Figure 29.
The peak detection circuits detect the VIN information
from IAC. RLPK sets the ratio of VIN to VLPK via a resistor
RRLPK, as described in Equation (8). The target value of
VLPK is one percent (1%) of VINpk. The maximum VLPK
cannot be over 3.8 V when system operation is at
maximum AC input.
As in the below design example, assume the maximum
VIN.PK at 373 V (264 VAC), the relationship of VIN.PK / VLPK
is 100, and VLPK = 3.73 V < 3.8 V.

System Design Precautions
Pay attention to the inrush current when AC input is first connected to the boost PFC convertor. It is
recommended to use NTC and a parallel connected relay circuit to reduce inrush current.
Add bypass diode to provide a path for inrush current when PFC start up.
The PFC stage is normally used to provide power to a downstream DC-DC or inverter. It’s recommend that
downstream power stage is enabled to operate at full load once the PFC output voltage has reaches a level
close to the specified steady-state value.
The PVO function is used to change the output voltage of PFC, VPFC. The VPFC should be kept at least 25 V
higher than VIN.
