FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Introduction
The NCP1653 is a Power Factor Correction (PFC) boost
controller designed to operate in fixedfrequency
Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM). It can operate in
either peak currentmode or average currentmode.
Fixedfrequency operation eases the compliance with
EMI standards and the limitation of the possible radiated
noise that may pollute surrounding systems. The CCM
operation reduces the application di/dt and the resulting
interference. The NCP1653 is designed in a compact 8pin
package which offers the minimum number of external
components. It simplifies the design and reduces the cost.
The output stage of the NCP1653 incorporates ±1.5 A
current capability for direct driving of the MOSFET in
highpower applications.
The NCP1653 is implemented in constant output voltage
or follower boost modes. The follower boost mode permits
one to significantly reduce the size of the PFC circuit
inductor and power MOSFET. With this technique, the
output voltage is not set at a constant level but depends on
the RMS input voltage or load demand. It allows lower
output voltage and hence the inductor and power MOSFET
size or cost are reduced.
Hence, NCP1653 is an ideal candidate in highpower
applications where costeffectiveness, reliability and high
power factor are the key parameters. The NCP1653
incorporates all the necessary features to build a compact
and rugged PFC stage.
The NCP1653 provides the following protection features:
1. Overvoltage Protection (OVP) is activated and
the Drive Output (Pin 7) goes low when the
output voltage exceeds 107% of the nominal
regulation level which is a userdefined value.
The circuit automatically resumes operation when
the output voltage becomes lower than the 107%.
2. Undervoltage Protection (UVP) is activated and
the device is shut down when the output voltage
goes below 8% of the nominal regulation level.
The circuit automatically starts operation when
the output voltage goes above 12% of the
nominal regulation level. This feature also
provides output openloop protection, and an
external shutdown feature.
3. Overpower Limitation (OPL) is activated and the
Drive Output (Pin 7) duty ratio is reduced by
pulling down an internal signal when a computed
input power exceeds a permissible level. OPL is
automatically deactivated when this computed input
power becomes lower than the permissible level.
4. Overcurrent Protection (OCP) is activated and
the Drive Output (Pin 7) goes low when the
inductor current exceeds a userdefined value.
The operation resumes when the inductor current
becomes lower than this value.
5. Thermal Shutdown (TSD) is activated and the
Drive Output (Pin 7) is disabled when the
junction temperature exceeds 150_C. The
operation resumes when the junction temperature
falls down by typical 30_C.
CCM PFC Boost
A CCM PFC boost converter is shown in Figure 25. The
input voltage is a rectified 50 or 60 Hz sinusoidal signal.
The MOSFET is switching at a high frequency (typically
102 kHz in the NCP1653) so that the inductor current I
L
basically consists of high and lowfrequency components.
Filter capacitor C
filter
is an essential and very small value
capacitor in order to eliminate the highfrequency
component of the inductor current I
L
. This filter capacitor
cannot be too bulky because it can pollute the power factor
by distorting the rectified sinusoidal input voltage.

It can be seen in the timing diagram in Figure 27 that V
M
originally consists of a switching frequency ripple coming
from the inductor current I
L
. The duty ratio can be
inaccurately generated due to this ripple. This modulation
is the socalled “peak currentmode”. Hence, an external
capacitor C
M
connected to the multiplier voltage V
M
pin
(Pin 5) is essential to bypass the highfrequency
component of V
M
. The modulation becomes the socalled
“average currentmode” with a better accuracy for PFC.

The multiplier capacitor C
M
is the one to filter the
highfrequency component of the multiplier voltage V
M
.
The highfrequency component is basically coming from
the inductor current I
L
. On the other hand, the filter
capacitor C
filter
similarly removes the highfrequency
component of inductor current I
L
. If the capacitors C
M
and
C
filter
match with each other in terms of filtering capability,
I
L
becomes I
L50
. Input impedance Z
in
is roughly constant
over the bandwidth of 50 or 60 Hz and power factor is
corrected.
Practically, the differentialmode inductance in the
frontended EMI filter improves the filtering performance
of capacitor C
filter
. Therefore, the multiplier capacitor C
M
is generally with a larger value comparing to the filter
capacitor C
filter
.
Input and output power (P

(eq.13) when the circuit efficiency η is obtained or

Follower Boost
The NCP1653 operates in follower boost mode when
I
control
is constant. If I
control
is constant based on (eq.13), for
a constant load or power demand the output voltage V
out
of
the converter is proportional to the RMS input voltage V
ac
. It
means the output voltage V
out
becomes lower when the RMS
input voltage V
ac
becomes lower. On the other hand, the
output voltage V
out
becomes lower when the load or power
demand becomes higher. It is illustrated in Figure 31.

Follower Boost Benefits
The follower boost circuit offers an opportunity to reduce
the output voltage V
out
whenever the RMS input voltage
V
ac
is lower or the power demand P
out
is higher. Because
of the stepup characteristics of boost converter, the output
voltage V
out
will always be higher than the input voltage
V
in
even though V
out
is reduced in follower boost operation.
