Description
The FAN6982 is a 14-pin, Continuous Conduction Mode
(CCM) PFC controller IC intended for Power Factor
Correction (PFC) pre-regulators. The FAN6982 includes
circuits for the implementation of leading edge, average
current, “boost”-type power factor correction, and
results in a power supply that fully complies with the
IEC1000-3-2 specification.
A TriFault Detect™ function helps reduce external
components and provides full protection for feedback
loops such as open, short, and over voltage. An over-
voltage comparator shuts down the PFC stage in the
event of a sudden load decrease. The RDY signal can
be used for power-on sequence control. The EN
function can choose to enable or disable the range
function. FAN6982 also includes PFC soft-start, peak
current limiting, and input voltage brownout protection.

Pin Configuration
Figure 4. Pin Configuration
Pin Definitions
Pin # Name Description
1 IEA
Output of Current Amplifier. This is the output of the PFC current amplifier. The signal from
this pin is compared with sawtooth and determines the pulsewidth for PFC gate drive.
2 IAC
Input AC Current. For normal operation, this input is used to provide current reference for the
multiplier. The suggested maximum IAC is 100µA.
3 ISENSE
Current Sense. The non-inverting input of the PFC current amplifier and the output of
multiplier and PFC ILIMIT comparator.
4 VRMS
Line-Voltage Detection. The pin is used for PFC multiplier.
5 RDY
Ready Signal. This pin controls the power-on sequence. Once the FAN6982 is turned on and
the FBPFC voltage exceeds in 2.4V, the RDY pin pulls LOW impedance. If the FBPFC voltage
is lower than 1.15V, the RDY pin pulls HIGH impedance.
6 EN
Enable Range Function. The range function is enabled when EN is connected to VREF.
The range function is disabled when EN is connected to GND.
7 RT/CT
Oscillator RC Timing Connection. Oscillator timing node; timing set by RT and CT.
8 SGND
Signal Ground.
9 PGND
Power Ground.
10 OPFC
Gate Drive. The totem-pole output drive for PFC MOSFET. This pin is internally clamped
under 15V to protect the MOSFET.
11 VDD
Power Supply. The threshold voltages for startup and turn-off are 11V and 9.3V, respectively.
The operating current is lower than 10mA.
12 VREF
Reference Voltage. Buffered output for the internal 7.5V reference.
13 FBPFC
Voltage Feedback Input. The feedback input for PFC voltage loop. The inverting input of PFC
error amplifier. This pin is connected to the PFC output through a divider network.
14 VEA
Output of Voltage Amplifier. The error-amplifier output for PFC voltage feedback loop.
A compensation network is connected between this pin and ground.

FAN6982 — CCM Power Factor Correction Controller
Functional Description
Oscillator
The internal oscillator frequency of FAN6982 is
determined by the timing resistor and capacitor on the
RT/CT pin, but note that the optimum operation for
FAN6982 is between 50 and 75kHz. The frequency of
the internal oscillator is given by:

0.56 360
OSC
TT T
f
R
CC
=⋅⋅+ (1)
The dead time for the PFC gate drive signal is
determined by
360
DEAD T
tC= (2)
The dead time should be smaller than 2% of switching
period to minimize line current distortion around line
zero crossing.
Gain Modul at or
Gain modulator is the key block for PFC stage because
it provides the reference to the current control error
amplifier for the input current shaping, as shown in
Figure 23. The output current of gain modulator is a
function of VEA, IAC and VRMS. The gain of the gain
modulator is given as a ratio between IMO and IAC with a
given VRMS when VEA is saturated to high. The gain is
inversely proportional to VRMS2, as shown in Figure 24,
to implement line feed-forward. This automatically
adjusts the reference of current control error amplifier
according to the line voltage such that the input power
of PFC converter is not changed with line voltage, as
shown in, Figure 25.

Figure 25. Line Feed-Forward Operation
To sense the RMS value of the line voltage, an
averaging circuit with two poles is typically employed as
shown in Figure 23. Notice that the input voltage of
PFC is clamped at the peak of the line voltage once
PFC stops switching since the junction capacitance of
bridge diode is not discharged, as shown in Figure 26.
Therefore, the voltage divider for VRMS should be
designed considering the brownout protection trip point
and minimum operation line voltage.

where VLINE.BO is the line voltage that trips brownout
protection, GMAX is the maximum modulator gain when
VRMS is 1.08V, and 159µA is the maximum output
current of the gain modulator.
Current-Control of Boost Stage
As shown in Figure 27 the FAN6982 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 28, based on the reference signal obtained at
IAC pin as:

The current-control feedback loop also has a pulse-by-
pulse current limit comparator that forces the PFC
switch to turn off if the ISENSE pin voltage drops below
-1.15V until the next switching cycle.
Voltage-Cont rol of Boost Stage
The voltage-control loop regulates PFC output voltage
using internal error amplifier such that the FBPFC
voltage is same as internal reference of 2.5V.
To improve system efficiency at low AC line voltage
and light-load condition, FAN6982 provides adjustable
PFC output voltage. As shown in Figure 29, FAN6982
monitors VEA and VRMS to adjust the PFC output
voltage. When VEA and VRMS are lower than thresholds,
internal current source of 20µA is enabled that flows
through RFB2, increasing the voltage of the FBPFC pin.
This causes the PFC output voltage to reduce when
20µA is enabled as:

Brownout Protection
FAN6982 has a built-in internal brownout protection
comparator monitoring the voltage of the VRMS pin.
Once the VRMS pin voltage is lower than 1.05V, the
PFC stage is shutdown to protect the system from over
current. FAN6982 starts up the boost stage once the
VRMS voltage increases above 1.9V.
TriFault Detect™
To improve power supply reliability, reduce system
component count, and simplify compliance to UL 1950
safety standards; the FAN6982 includes TriFault Detect
technology. This feature monitors FBPFC for certain
PFC fault conditions.
In the case of a feedback path failure, the output of the
PFC could exceed operating limits. Should FBPFC go
too low, or 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 serve its protective function.

PFC Soft-Start Function
The FAN6982 PFC soft-start function is shown in
Figure 30. When bulk voltage is under the 96% of
setting voltage; VEA clamps to 2.8V, the output current
of multiplier cuts half, the rectifier line current is limited
by current loop, and PFC output rise time increases.
When bulk voltage is over 96%, the clamping function
is disabled, and the bulk voltage can be regulated by
voltage error amplifier.
There have two advantages with PFC soft-start: one is
the MOSFET experience of current is reduced, which
can obtain more de-rating with MOSFET current level.
The other one is to reduce the overshoot of PFC bulk
voltage at the rising time because the charge current
becomes small, the bulk voltage can not exceed to
setting voltage easily.
Figure 30. PFC Soft-Start
RDY Function
The FAN6982 RDY function, is shown in Figure 31, is
controlled by voltage of FBPFC. If the voltage of
FBPFC is over than 96% of 2.5V, the RDY pin is
connected to SGND. If the FBPFC is under the 46% of
2.5V, the RDY appears open-drain situation. Usually
the capacitor is parallel with the RDY pin to prevent the
layout noise.
The PNP transistor can control the AHB LLC or dual-
forward controller on the same side or the “op-to” to
control the LLC controller on the other side.
