General
Description
The CM6903A is a space-saving PFC-PWM controller for power factor
corrected, switched mode power supplies that offers very low
start-up and operating currents. For the power supply less than
500Watt, its input current shaping PFC performance could be very
close to CM6800 or ML4800
architecture.
Power Factor Correction (PFC) offers the use of smaller, lower
cost bulk capacitors, reduces power line loading and stress on the
switching FETs, and results in a power supply fully compliant to
IEC1000-3-2 specifications. The CM6903A includes circuits for the
implementation of a leading edge, input current shaping technique
“boost” type PFC and a trailing edge, PWM.
The CM6903A’s PFC and PWM operate at the same frequency, 67.5kHz.
A PFC OVP comparator shuts down the PFC section in the event of a
sudden decrease in load. The PFC section also includes peak
current limiting for enhanced system reliability.
