OPERATION
The MP44014 is a boundary conduction mode
PFC controller optimized for the PFC pre-
regulator up to 300W and fully complies with
IEC1000-3-2 specification.
Output Voltage Regulation
The output voltage is sensed at FB through a
resistor divider from the output voltage to ground.
The accurate on-chip reference voltage and the
high performance error amplifier regulate the
output voltage accurately.
Over-Voltage Protection (OVP)
The MP44014 offers two stages of over-voltage
protection: dynamic over-voltage protection and
static over-voltage protection. With two-stage
protection, the circuit operates reliably.
The MP44014 achieves OVP by monitoring the
current flow through COMP.
During steady-state operation, the current flow
through the high-side feedback resistor (R9) and
the low-side feedback resistor (R10) is calculated
with Equation (1):

If there is an abrupt rise on the output (ΔV
O
) and
the compensation network connected between
FB and COMP takes time to achieve high power
factor (PF) due to the long RC time constant, the
voltage on FB will still be kept at the reference
value. The current through R10 remains equal to
V
FB
/R10. However, the current through R9 is
calculated with Equation (2):

This current has to flow into COMP.
Simultaneously, this current is monitored inside
the chip. If the current rises to 35µA, the output
voltage of the multiplier will be forced to decrease,
and the energy delivered to the output will be
reduced. If this current continues to rise to about
40µA, the dynamic OVP can be triggered.
Consequently, the gate driver is blocked to turn
off the external power MOSFET, and the device
enters an idle state. This state is maintained until
the current falls below 10µA, the point at which
the internal starter will be re-enabled and allow
the switching to restart.
When the load is very light, the output voltage
tends to stay steadily above the nominal value. In
this condition, the error amplifier output will
saturate low. When the error amplifier output is
lower than 2.25V, static OVP will be triggered.
Consequently, the gate driver will be blocked to
turn off the external power MOSFET, and the
device will enter an idle state. Normal operation
resumes once the error amplifier output returns
to the regulated region (see Figure 2).

Disable Function
The MP44014 can be disabled by pulling the
zero-current sensing (ZCS) pin lower than
190mV. This helps to further reduce quiescent
current when the PFC pre-regulator needs to be
shut down. After releasing ZCS, it will stay at a
lower clamp voltage when there is no external
voltage from the auxiliary winding (see Figure 3).

Boundary Conduction Mode
When the current of the boost inductor reaches
zero, the voltage on the inductor is reversed.
ZCS then generates the turn-on signal of the
MOSFET by sensing the falling edge of the
voltage on the auxiliary winding coupled with the
inductor. If the ZCS voltage rises above 2.1V, the
comparator waits until the voltage falls below
1.6V. Once the voltage falls below 1.6V, the
MP44014 turns on the MOSFET. The 7.8V high
clamp and 0.55V low clamp protect ZCS. The
internal 175µs timer generates a signal to turn on
the MOSFET if the driver signal has been low for
more than 175µs. This also allows the MOSFET
to turn on during the start-up period since no
signal is generated from ZCD during start-up.
Zero-Crossing Compensation
The MP44014 offers 30mV voltage offset for the
multiplier output near the zero crossing of the line
voltage (which can force the circuit to process
more energy at the bottom of the line voltage).
With this function, the THD of the current is
reduced.
To prevent redundant energy, this offset is
reduced as the instantaneous line voltage
increases. Therefore the offset will be negligible
near the top of the line voltage.
Power Factor Correction
The MP44014 senses the inductor current
through the current sense pin and compares it
to the sinusoidal-shaped signal, which is
generated from the output of the multiplier. When
the external power MOSFET turns on, the
inductor current rises linearly. When the peak
current hits the sinusoidal-shaped signal, the
external power MOSFET begins to turn off, and
the diode turns on. Also, the inductor current
begins to fall. When the inductor current reaches
zero, the power MOSFET begins to turn on again,
which causes the inductor current to start rising
again. The power circuit works in boundary
conduction mode, and the envelope of the
inductor current is sinusoidal shaped. The
average input current is half of the peak current,
so the average input current is also sinusoidal
shaped. A high power factor can be achieved
through this control method (see Figure 4).
