Description
The FAN9611/12 family of interleaved dual Boundary-
Conduction-Mode (BCM) Power-Factor-Correction (PFC)
controllers operate two parallel-connected boost power
trains 180° out of phase. Interleaving extends the
maximum practical power level of the control technique
from about 300W to greater than 800W. Unlike the
continuous conduction mode (CCM) technique often
used at higher power levels, BCM offers inherent zero-
current switching of the boost diodes, which permits the
use of less expensive diodes without sacrificing
efficiency. Furthermore, the input and output filters can
be smaller due to ripple current cancellation and effective
doubling of the switching frequency.
The converters operate with variable frequency, which is
a function of the load and the instantaneous input /
output voltages. The switching frequency is limited
between 16.5kHz and 525kHz. The Pulse Width
Modulators (PWM) implement voltage-mode control with
input voltage feedforward. When configured for PFC
applications, the slow voltage regulation loop results in
constant on-time operation within a line cycle. This PWM
method, combined with the BCM operation of the boost
converters, provides automatic power factor correction.
The controllers offers bias UVLO (10V / 7.5V for
FAN9611 and 12.5V / 7.5V for FAN9612), input
brownout, over-current, open-feedback, output over-
voltage, and redundant latching over-voltage protections.
Furthermore, the converters’ output power is limited
independently of the input RMS voltage. Synchronization
between the power stages is maintained under all
operating conditions.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses exceeding the absolute maximum ratings may damage the device. The device may not function or be
operable above the recommended operating conditions and stressing the parts to these levels is not recommended.
In addition, extended exposure to stresses above the recommended operating conditions may affect device reliability.
The absolute maximum ratings are stress ratings only.

Note:
4. While the recommended maximum inductor mismatch is ±10% for optimal current sharing and ripple-current
cancellation, there is no absolute maximum limit. If the mismatch is greater than ±10%, current sharing is
proportionately worse, requiring over-design of the power supply. However, the accurate 180° out-of-phase
synchronization is still maintained, providing current cancellation, although its effectiveness is reduced.
