General Description
The FAN4822 is a PFC controller designed specifically for
high power applications. The controller contains all of the
functions necessary to implement an average current boost
PFC converter, along with a Zero Voltage Switch (ZVS) con-
troller to reduce diode recovery and MOSFET turn-on
losses.
The average current boost PFC circuit provides high power
factor (>98%) and low Total Harmonic Distortion (THD).
Built-in safety features include undervoltage lockout, over-
voltage protection, peak current limiting, and input voltage
brownout protection.
The ZVS control section drives an external ZVS MOSFET
which, combined with a diode and inductor , soft switches the
boost regulator. This technique reduces diode reverse recov-
ery and MOSFET switching losses to reduce EMI and maxi-
mize efficiency.

FAN4822 PRODUCT SPECIFICATION
6REV. 1.0.1 8/10/01
Functional Description
Switching losses of wide input voltage range PFC boost con-
verters increase dramatically as power levels increase above
200 watts. The use of zero-voltage switching (ZVS) tech-
niques improves the efficiency of high power PFCs by sig-
nificantly reducing the turn-on losses of the boost MOSFET.
ZVS is accomplished by using a second, smaller MOSFET,
together with a storage element (inductor) to convert the
turn-on losses of the boost MOSFET into useful output
power.
The basic function of the FAN4822 is to provide a power
factor corrected, regulated DC b us v oltage using continuous,
av erage current-mode control. Like Micro Linear’s family of
PFC/PWM controllers, the FAN4822 employs leading-edge
pulse width modulation to reduce system noise and permit
frequency synchronization to a trailing edge PWM stage for
the highest possible DC bus voltage bandwidth. For minimi-
zation of switching losses, circuitry has been incorporated to
control the switching of the ZVS FET.
Theory of Operation
Figure 1 shows a simplified schematic of the output and con-
trol sections of a high power PFC circuit. Figure 2 shows the
relationship of various waveforms in the circuit. Q1 func-
tions as the main switching FET and Q2 provides the ZVS
action. During each cycle, Q2 turns on before Q1, diverting
the current in L1 away from D1 into L2. The current in L2
increases linearly until at t2 it equals the current through L1.
When these currents are equal, L1 ceases discharging current
and is now charged through L2 and Q2. At time t2, the drain
voltage of Q1 begins to fall. The shape of the voltage wave-
form is sinusoidal due to the interaction of L2 and the com-
bined parasitic capacitance of D1 and Q1 (or optional ZVS
capacitor CZVS). At t3, the voltage across Q1 is sufficiently
low that the controller turns Q2 off and Q1 on. Q1 then
behaves as an ordinary PFC switch, storing energy in the
boost inductor L1. The ener gy stored in L2 is completely dis-
charged into the boost capacitor via D2 during the Q1 off-
time and the value of L2 must be selected for discontinuous-
mode operation.
Component Selection
Q1 Turn-Off
Because the FAN4822 uses leading edge modulation, the
PFC MOSFET (Q1) is always turned off at the end of each
oscillator ramp cycle. F or proper operation, the internal ZVS
flip-flop must be reset every cycle during the oscillator dis-
charge time. This is done by automatically resetting the ZVS
comparator a short time after the drain voltage of the main Q
has reached zero (refer to Figure 1 sense circuit). This sense
circuit terminates the ZVS on time by sensing the main Q
drain voltage reaching zero. It is then reset by w ay of a resis-
tor pull-up to VCC (R6). The advantage of this circuit is that
the ZVS comparator is not reset at the main Q turn off which
occurs at the end of the clock cycle. This a voids the potential
for improper reset of the internal ZVS flip-flop.
Another concern is the proper operation of the ZVS compar-
ator during discontinuous mode operation (DCM), which
will occur at the cusps of the rectified AC waveform and at
light loads. Due to the nature of the voltage seen at the drain
of the main boost Q during DCM operation, the ZVS com-
parator can be fooled into forcing the ZVS Q on for the
entire period. By adding a circuit which limits the maximum
on time of the ZVS Q, this problem can be avoided. Q3 in
Figure 1 provides this function.

Q1 Turn-On
The turn-on event consists of the time it takes for the current
through L2 to ramp to the L1 current plus the resonant event
of L2 and the ZVS capacitor. The total ev ent should occur in
a minimum of 350–450ns, but can be longer at the risk of
increasing the total harmonic distortion. Setting these times
equal should minimize conducted and radiated emissions.
Where IL2 is equal to IL1.
The value of L2 is calculated to remain in discontinuous-
mode:
The resonant event occurs in 1/4 of a full sinusoidal cycle.
For example, when a 1/4 cycle occurs in 200ns, the fre-
quency is 1.25MHz.
Rearranging and solving for L2:
The resonant capacitor (CZVS) value is found by setting
equations 2 and 4 equal to each other and solving for CZVS.
Application
Figure 3 displays a typical application circuit for a 500W
ZVS PFC supply. Full design details are covered in applica-
tion note 33, FAN4822 Power Factor Correction With Zero
