ML4805
Variable Feedforward PFC/PWM Controller Combo
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ML4805 is a controller for power factor corrected,
switched mode power supplies. Similar to the ML4801,
the ML4805 may be used for voltage mode operation. Key
features of this combined PFC and PWM controller are
low start-up and operating currents. Power Factor
Correction (PFC) allows the use of smaller, lower cost
bulk capacitors, reduces power line loading and stress on
the switching FETs, and results in a power supply that
fully complies with IEC1000-2-3 specifications. The
ML4805 includes circuits for the implementation of a
leading edge, average current “boost” type power factor
correction and a trailing edge pulse width modulator.
The PFC frequency of the ML4805 is automatically set at
half that of the PWM frequency generated by the internal
oscillator. This technique allows the user to design with
smaller output components while maintaining the
optimum operating frequency for the PFC. An over-
voltage comparator shuts down the PFC section in the
event of a sudden decrease in load. The PFC section also
includes peak current limiting and input voltage brown-
out protection.
