Description
The FAN7930C is an active power factor correction
(PFC) controller for boost PFC applications that operate
in critical conduction mode (CRM). It uses a voltage-
mode PWM that compares an internal ramp signal with
the error amplifier output to generate a MOSFET turn-off
signal. Because the voltage-mode CRM PFC controller
does not need rectified AC line voltage information, it
saves the power loss of an input voltage sensing network
necessary for a current-mode CRM PFC controller.
FAN7930C provides over-voltage protection (OVP),
open-feedback protection, over-current protection
(OCP), input-voltage-absent detection, and under-
voltage lockout protection (UVLO). The PFC-ready pin
can be used to trigger other power stages when PFC
output voltage reaches the proper level with hysteresis.
The FAN7930C can be disabled if the INV pin voltage is
lower than 0.45V and the operating current decreases to
a very low level. Using a new variable on-time control
method, THD is lower than the conventional CRM boost
PFC ICs.

This pin is the inverting input of the error amplifier. The output voltage of the boost PFC converter
should be resistively divided to 2.5V.
This pin is used to detect PFC output voltage reaching a pre-determined value. When output
voltage reaches 89% of rated output voltage, this pin is pulled HIGH, which is an (open-drain)
output type.
This pin is the output of the transconductance error amplifier. Components for the output voltage
compensation should be connected between this pin and GND.
This pin is the input of the over-current protection comparator. The MOSFET current is sensed
using a sensing resistor and the resulting voltage is applied to this pin. An internal RC filter is
included to filter switching noise.
This pin is the input of the zero-current detection block. If the voltage of this pin goes higher than
1.5V, then goes lower than 1.4V, the MOSFET is turned on.
This pin is used for the ground potential of all the pins. For proper operation, the signal ground
and the power ground should be separated.
This pin is the gate drive output. The peak sourcing and sinking current levels are +500mA and
-800mA, respectively. For proper operation, the stray inductance in the gate driving path must be
minimized.
This is the IC supply pin. IC current and MOSFET drive current are supplied using this pin.

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.

Notes:
1. When this pin is supplied by external power sources by accident, its maximum allowable current is 50mA.
2. In case of DC input, acceptable input range is -0.3V~6V: within 100ns -10V~6V is acceptable, but electrical
specifications are not guaranteed during such a short time.
