May 1997 Micro Linear GENERAL DESCRIPTION The ML4821 provides complete control for a “boost” type power factor correction system using the average current sensing method. Special care has been taken in the design of the ML4821 to increase system noise immunity. The circuit includes a precision reference, gain modulator, average current error amplifier, output error amplifier, over-voltage protection comparator, shutdown logic, as well as a high current output. In addition, start-up is simplified by an under-voltage lockout circuit. In a typical application, the ML4821 controls the AC input current by adjusting the pulse width of the output MOSFET. This modulates the line current so that its shape conforms to the shape of the input voltage.
