ML4803 8-Pin PFC and PWM Controller Combo
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ML4803 is a space-saving controller for power factor corrected, switched mode power supplies that offers very low start-up and operating currents. 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 ML4803 includes circuits for the implementation of a leading edge, average current “boost” type PFC and a trailing edge, PWM. The ML4803-1’s PFC and PWM operate at the same frequency, 67kHz. The PFC frequency of the ML4803-2 is automatically set at half that of the 134kHz PWM.
