ML4800 Power Factor Correction and PWM Controller Combo
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ML4800 is a controller for power factor corrected, switched mode power supplies. Power Factor Correction (PFC) allows the use of smaller, lower cost bulk capacitors, reduces power line loading and stress on the switching FETs, and results in a power supply that fully complies with IEC1000-3-2 specification. Intended as a BiCMOS version of the industry-standard ML4824, the ML4800 includes circuits for the implementation of leading edge, average current, “boost” type power factor correction and a trailing edge, pulse width modulator (PWM). It also includes a TriFault Detect™ function to help ensure that no unsafe conditions will result from single component failure in the PFC.
