GENERAL DESCRIPTION
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 PFC frequency of the ML4803-2 is automatically set at half that of the 134kHz PWM. This higher frequency allows the user to design with smaller PWM components while maintaining the optimum operating frequency for the PFC. An overvoltage 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. FEATURES
