Power Factor Correction Section
MOSFET Q1, boost diode D6, boost inductor L2, and the
components associated with the PFC control section and
pins of the NCL30051 control IC U1. D5 provides a bypass
diode to prevent resonant (L/C) charging of series boost
output capacitors C4 and C5 during initial startup when the
line voltage is first applied. Two 400 Vdc capacitors are used
in series for the bulk capacitors to accommodate the 550
maximum bulk voltage. 300 Vdc rated capacitors could have
also been used in this application. C3 is a polypropylene film
capacitor used to “stiffen” the input source impedance to the
boost converter and provide EMI filtering.

boundary) conduction mode (CRM) and, hence, has a
variable switching frequency depending on line and load
conditions. Since the L2 inductor current always drops to
zero before Q1 is turned back on again, boost diode D6 will
have essentially no reverse recovery losses when Q1 is
switched on each cycle. In addition the turn−on gate drive
requirement for Q1 is minimized since the MOSFET current
always starts at zero, however, complementary driver
Q3/Q8 is implemented in the gate drive line for efficient
switching of Q1.

This circuit provides “feed forward” signal information to
the PFC on−time setting capacitor C17. It should also be
noted that resistor R9 is used to provide the zero current
detect signal (or de−magnetizing signal) to the chip from
L2’s aux winding so that the circuit can operate in true CRM.

symmetric duty ratio (with dead time between each
half−cycle) signal and is powered from the PFC bulk
voltage. The NCL30051 controller is rated for up to 600 Vdc
operation in the half−bridge section, so factoring in system
derating, a maximum operating PFC bulk voltage in the
480−510 V range is recommended. Resonant circuit
operation is achieved by resonating the leakage inductance
of T1’s primary with capacitors C6/C7 which appear in
parallel. By adjusting the L/C ratio of these parameters to
match the switching frequency of the gate drive output of
U1, resonant operation is possible with very low switching
losses in MOSFETs Q2A and Q2B. The frequency of the
half−bridge drive is set by the C

determined by C6/C7 and T1’s leakage inductance. Without
any complex winding structure, the leakage inductance of
T1 came out to about 100 mH with the transformer design
shown in Figure 4. The waveform of the sinusoidal primary
current (45 W output) is shown in Figure 2. The use of fixed
frequency, resonant switching in the half−bridge creates a
condition of zero current switching in the MOSFETs which
results in very high conversion efficiency. Diodes D7 and
D8 provide voltage clamping to the bulk rail in the event of
parasitically generated voltages or transients during start up
and/or dynamic operation.
