Description
The highly integrated FAN6921ML combines a Power
Factor Correction (PFC) controller and a Quasi-
Resonant PWM controller. Integration provides cost-
effect design and allows for fewer external components.
For PFC, FAN6921ML uses a controlled on-time
technique to provide a regulated DC output voltage and
to perform natural power factor correction. With an
innovative THD optimizer, FAN6921ML can reduce
input current distortion at zero-crossing duration to
improve THD performance.
For PWM, FAN6921ML enhances the power system
performance through valley detection, green-mode
operation, and high / low line over power compensation.
FAN6921ML provides: secondary-side open-loop and
over-current protection, external latch triggering,
adjustable over-temperature protection by RT pin and
external NTC resistor, internal over-temperature
shutdown, V
DD
pin OVP, and DET pin over-voltage for
output OVP, and brownin/out for AC input voltage
under-voltage protection (UVP).
The FAN6921ML controller is available in a 16-pin small
outline package (SOP).

Description
RANGE pin’s impedance changes according to VIN pin voltage level. When the input voltage
detected by the VIN pin is lower than a threshold voltage, it sets to high impedance; whereas it
sets to low impedance if input voltage is high level.
Output pin of the error amplifier. It is a transconductance type error amplifier for PFC output
voltage feedback. Proprietary multi-vector current is built-in to this amplifier; therefore, the
compensation for the PFC voltage feedback loop allows a simple compensation circuit between
this pin and GND.
Inverting input of the error amplifier. This pin is used to receive PFC voltage level by a voltage
divider and provides PFC output over- and under-voltage protections.
Input to the PFC over-current protection comparator that provides cycle-by-cycle current limiting
protection. When the sensed voltage across the PFC current-sensing resistor reaches the internal
threshold (0.6 typical), the PFC switch is turned off to activate cycle-by-cycle current limiting.

Description
Input to the comparator of the PWM over-current protection and performs PWM current-mode
control with FB pin voltage. A resistor is used to sense the switching current of the PWM switch
CSPWM and the sensing voltage is applied to the CSPWM pin for the cycle-by-cycle current limit, current-
mode control, and high / low line over-power compensation according to DET pin source current
during PWM on time.

GND
Totem-pole driver output to drive the external power MOSFET. The clamped gate output voltage is
15.5V.
Power supply. The threshold voltages for startup and turn-off are 18V and 7.5V, respectively. The
startup current is less than 30µA and the operating current is lower than 10mA.
Totem-pole output generates the PWM signal to drive the external power MOSFET. The clamped
gate output voltage is 17.5V.
The power ground and signal ground.
This pin is connected to an auxiliary winding of the PWM transformer through a resistor divider for
the following purposes:
Producing an offset voltage to compensate the threshold voltage of PWM current limit for
providing over-power compensation. The offset is generated in accordance with the input
voltage when PWM switch is on.
10
DET
Detecting the valley voltage signal of drain voltage of the PWM switch to achieve the valley
voltage switching and minimize the switching loss on the PWM switch.
Providing output over-voltage protection. A voltage comparator is built-in to the DET pin. The
DET pin detects the flat voltage through a voltage divider paralleled with auxiliary winding. This
flat voltage is reflected to the secondary winding during PWM inductor discharge time. If output
OVP and this flat voltage is higher than 2.5V, the controller enters latch mode and stops all PFC
and PWM switching operation.
Feedback voltage pin. This pin is used to receive the output voltage level signal to determine PWM
gate duty for regulating output voltage. The FB pin voltage can also activate open-loop, overload,
or output-short-circuit protection if the FB pin voltage is higher than a threshold of around 4.2V for
more than 50ms.The input impedance of this pin is a 5kΩ
equivalent resistance. A 1/3 attenuator is
connected between the FB pin and the input of the CSPWM/FB comparator.
Adjustable over-temperature protection and external latch triggering. A constant current flows out
of the RT pin. When RT pin voltage is lower than 0.8V (typical), latch mode protection is activated
and stops all PFC and PWM switching operation until the AC plug is removed.
Line-voltage detection for brownin/out protections. This pin can receive the AC input voltage level
through a voltage divider. The voltage level of the VIN pin is not only used to control RANGE pin’s
status, but it can also perform brownin/out protection for AC input voltage UVP.
Zero-current detection for the PFC stage. This pin is connected to an auxiliary winding coupled to
PFC inductor winding to detect the ZCD voltage signal once the PFC inductor current discharges
to zero. When the ZCD voltage signal is detected, the controller starts a new PFC switching cycle.
When the ZCD pin voltage is pulled to under 0.2V (typical), it disables the PFC stage and the
controller stops PFC switching. This can be realized with an external circuit if disabling the PFC
stage is desired.
No connection
High-voltage startup. HV pin is connected to the AC line voltage through a resistor (100kΩ
typical)
for providing a high-charging current to V
DD
capacitor.
