7.2.7 Overcurrent protection (PFCSENSE pin)
The maximum peak current is limited cycle-by-cycle by sensing the voltage across an
external sense resistor (R
SENSE1
) on the source of the external MOSFET. The voltage is
measured via the PFCSENSE pin.
7.2.8 Mains undervoltage lock-out / brownout protection (VINSENSE pin)
To prevent the PFC from operating at very low mains input voltages, the voltage on the
VINSENSE pin is sensed continuously. As soon as the voltage on this pin drops below the
V
stop(VINSENSE)
level, switching of the PFC is stopped. If the low mains situation continues,
the PFC bus voltage eventually drops. The voltage on the VOSENSE pin then drops below
the V
start(fb)
level and the flyback converter is also disabled.
The voltage on pin VINSENSE is clamped to a minimum value,
(V
start(VINSENSE)
−∆V
pu(VINSENSE)
) for a fast restart as soon as the mains input voltage is
restored after a mains dropout.
7.2.9 Overvoltage protection (VOSENSE pin)
To prevent output overvoltage during load steps and mains transients, an overvoltage
protection circuit is built in.
As soon as the voltage on the VOSENSE pin exceeds the V
ovp(VOSENSE)
level, switching of
the power factor correction circuit is inhibited. Switching of the PFC recommences as
soon as the VOSENSE pin voltage drops below the V
ovp(VOSENSE)
level again.
When the resistor between pin VOSENSE and ground is open, the overvoltage protection
is also triggered.
7.2.10 PFC open loop protection (VOSENSE pin)
The power factor correction circuit does not start switching until the voltage on the
VOSENSE pin is above the V
th(ol)(VOSENSE)
level. This protects the circuit from open loop
and VOSENSE short situations. As the VOSENSE pin draws a small input current,
switching is also inhibited when the pin is left open.
