By using fixed high frequency PWM current averaging without the need for slope compensation, Line current dead zone is minimized with low bias voltage at the current input to the multiplier. The LT1249 provides many protection features including peak current limiting and overvoltage protection. The switching frequency is internally set at 100kHz. While the LT1249 simplifies PFC design with minimal parts count, the LT1248 provides flexibilities in switching frequency, overvoltage and current limit.
