FAN4810EVAL
Evaluation Kit User’s Guide
Power Factor Controller
General Description
The FAN4810 Evaluation Board is a power-factor-corrected
500W off-line power supply. The supply has a single 400V
output and operates over an input voltage range of 90 VAC to
265 VAC. The Evaluation Board uses an average mode boost
PFC that allows it to be fully complaint with IEC 61000-3-2
limits for harmonic emission.
When operating the FAN4810 Evaluation Board there are
two things to keep in mind. A minimum load of 15 to 20
Watts is required to prevent output from rising to the OVP
point. This will provide continuous operation and prevent the
PFC from periodic shutdown due to OVP. Also, there is no
current inrush limiting included in the Evaluation Board.
Because of this it is suggested that the input voltage is
always ramped up slowly.
How to Operate
Use the following procedure to safely operate the power
supply.
1.
2.
3.
Connect a 100W load across the output terminals
(J3 and J4).
Connect a DC voltmeter across the output terminals.
Connect an isolated variable AC source (such as a
variac) to input terminals J1 and J2. A DC source may
be substituted at the input for easier examination of the
waveforms.
Slowly increase the AC input voltage to at least 90VAC
(Do not exceed 265VAC). If applying a DC input
increase it to 120 Volts.
Confirm that the output voltage increases as the input
voltage is increased.
As the input voltage approaches very close to 90VAC
(120VDC) the Board output should read approximately
404VDC within 5 sec.
Remove the AC input and verify that the output voltage
has dropped to zero.
Connect a 500W load across the output terminals and
reapply the AC input.

Performance Data
CAUTION!
The FAN4810 Evaluation Board contains voltage
potentials capable of causing serious injury, and compo-
nents that may shatter or explode if they fail. Appropri-
ate precautions must be taken to prevent injury should
such situations occur. The use of protective eyeware is
strongly recommended.
To safely observe circuit waveforms, an isolation
transformer should be used between the Evaluation
Board and the AC line.
Do not operate this board with DC/AC voltages
outside the design limits.
Replace circuit components only with those
recommended in the parts list of this User’s Guide.
To measure the Eval Board performance across the range
of permissible input voltages use an isolated Variac or
adjustable AC source. It is suggested that the input voltage is
increased slowly as the evaluation board has no inrush
current limiting.
A typical FAN4810 evaluation board will have the perfor-
mance characteristics shown in Figure 1 when operated as
specified in the Test Conditions.

The unit will safely provide 500W at 90 VAC input with
adequate fan cooling. Note that even though the FAN4810
Evaluation board can achieve 500 Watts with additional fan
cooling, the heatsinks utilized are not optimal for use with
a fan.
Layout Considerations
The FAN4810 Evaluation board contains high impedance,
low-level signals and low impedance, high level circuits;
consequently extra care is required in component placement,
grounding and PC trace routing. In order to shield low-level
circuits from the high level signals, control circuits were
placed in surface mount form on the bottom side of the
board. This allowed a return shield to be placed on the top-
side. Since the current sense for the FAN4810 is not differen-
tial, care must be taken to prevent a large di/dt from occur-
ring across the PCB trace joining the output cap (assumed to
be the reference return for the IC) to the current sense resis-
tor. Since the best reference for the IC is at the output cap
return potential (the most stable potential), the difference
between this potential and the current sense resistor return
potential must be kept to a minimum. This is done by star-
grounding all the 400V return connections to the output
capacitor, and/or maintaining very low inductive/resistive
paths from all power devices to the output capacitor return.
Some general layout guidelines:
A. Return the low side of the timing capacitor (C18)
directly to the IC ground pin.

B. Bypass the reference and supply voltage pins directly to
the IC ground pin with a 1 µF, low ESR/ESL capacitor.
C. Return all compensation components directly to the IC
ground pin, keeping the lead lengths as short as possible.
D. Make sure that low-level, noise free, returns do not share
return paths with high-level, or noisy, signals (
e.g.
, gate
drive).
E. Isolate and/or shield rapidly changing waveforms, such
as the drain of Q1 from sensitive, high impedance cir-
cuits, such as the timing capacitor, PFC current sense
input, error amplifier input/output,
etc.
Figure 2. Output Power vs. Line Voltage
The FAN4810 Evaluation Board is designed to provide up to
500W output with an input of 90VAC. Due to thermal limita-
tions the actual output with no fan is limited to
≤
400W at
inputs below 115VAC, and up to 40ºC ambient. Figure 2
displays the maximum power vs. line voltage with no fan.
Above 115VAC input the maximum output power is 500W.
