PCB Design Guidelines and Design Example
The line-sense network and the feedback circuit use large
resistance values in order to minimize power dissipation in the
feedback network and the line-sense network. Care should be
taken to place the feedback circuit and the line-sense network
components away from the high voltage and high current nodes
to minimize any interference. Any noise injected in the feedback
network or the line-sense network will typically manifest as
degradation of power factor. Excessive noise injection can lead
to waveform instability or dissymmetry.
The EMI filter components should be clustered together to
improve filter effectiveness. The placement of the EMI filter
components on the circuit board should be such that the input
circuit is located away from the drain node of the HiperPFS, the
output diode of the PFC or the PFC inductor.
A filter or decoupling capacitor should be placed at the output
of the bridge rectifier. This capacitor together with the
X capacitance in the EMI filter and the differential inductance of
the EMI filter section and the source impedance, works as a
filter to reduce the switching frequency current ripple in the
input current. This capacitor also helps to minimize the loop

area of the switching frequency current loop thereby reducing
EMI.
The connection between the HiperPFS drain node, output
diode drain terminal and the PFC inductor should be kept as
small as possible.
A low loss ceramic dielectric capacitor should be connected
between the cathode of the PFC output diode and the source
terminal of the HiperPFS. This ensures that the loop area of the
loop carrying high frequency currents at the transition of
switch-off of the MOSFET small and helps to reduce radiated
EMI due to high frequency pulsating nature of the diode current
traversing through the loop.
During placement of components on the board, it is best to
place the VOLTAGE MONITOR pin, FEEDBACK pin and VCC
pin decoupling capacitors close to the HiperPFS before the
other components are placed and routed. Power supply return
trace from the GROUND pin should be separate from the trace
connecting the feedback circuit components to the GROUND pin.
