FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION (Continued)
Error Amplifier Compensation
The PWM loading of the PFC can be modeled as a
negative resistor; an increase in input voltage to the PWM
causes a decrease in the input current. This response
dictates the proper compensation of the two
transconductance error amplifiers. Figure 3 shows the
types of compensation networks most commonly used for
the voltage and current error amplifiers, along with their
respective return points. The current loop compensation
is returned to VREF to produce a soft-start characteristic on
the PFC: as the reference voltage comes up from zero
volts, it creates a differentiated voltage on IEAO which
prevents the PFC from immediately demanding a full duty
cycle on its boost converter.
There are two major concerns when compensating the
voltage loop error amplifier; stability and transient
response. Optimizing interaction between transient
response and stability requires that the error amplifier’s
open-loop crossover frequency should be 1/2 that of the
line frequency, or 23Hz for a 47Hz line (lowest
anticipated international power frequency). The gain vs.
input voltage of the ML4826’s voltage error amplifier has a
specially shaped nonlinearity such that under steady-state
operating conditions the transconductance of the error
amplifier is at a local minimum. Rapid perturbations in
line or load conditions will cause the input to the voltage
error amplifier (VFB) to deviate from its 2.5V (nominal)
value. If this happens, the transconductance of the voltage
error amplifier will increase significantly, as shown in the
Typical Performance Characteristics. This increases the
gain-bandwidth product of the voltage loop, resulting in a
much more rapid voltage loop response to such
perturbations than would occur with a conventional linear
gain characteristic.
The current amplifier compensation is similar to that of the
voltage error amplifier with the exception of the choice of
crossover frequency. The crossover frequency of the
current amplifier should be at least 10 times that of the
voltage amplifier, to prevent interaction with the voltage
loop. It should also be limited to less than 1/6th that of the
switching frequency, e.g. 16.7kHz for a 100kHz switching
frequency.
For more information on compensating the current and
voltage control loops, see Application Notes 33 and 34.
Application Note 16 also contains valuable information
for the design of this class of PFC.

Main Oscillator (RTCT)
The oscillator frequency is determined by the values of RT
and CT, which determine the ramp and off-time of the
oscillator output clock:
fOSC
=
tRAMP
+
1
tDEADTIME
(2)
The deadtime of the oscillator is derived from the
following equation:
tDEADTIME
=
2.5V
5.1mA
×
CT
=
490
×
CT
(3)
at VREF = 7.5V:
tRAMP = CT × RT × 0.51
The ramp of the oscillator may be determined using:
tRAMP
=
CT
× RT
× In
VREF
VREF
– 1.25
– 3.75
(4)
The deadtime is so small (tRAMP >> tDEADTIME) that the
operating frequency can typically be approximated by:
fOSC
=
1
tRAMP
(5)
For proper reset of internal circuits during dead time,
values of 1000pF or greater are suggested for CT.
EXAMPLE:
For the application circuit shown in the data sheet, with
the oscillator running at:
fOSC
=
200kHz
=
1
tRAMP
tRAMP = CT × RT × 0.51= 1× 10−5
Solving for RT x CT yields 2 x 10-4. Selecting standard
components values, CT = 1000pF, and RT = 8.63kΩ.
The deadtime of the oscillator adds to the Maximum
PWM Duty Cycle (it is an input to the Duty Cycle Limiter).
With zero oscillator deadtime, the Maximum PWM Duty
Cycle is typically 45%. In many applications, care should
be taken that CT not be made so large as to extend the
Maximum Duty Cycle beyond 50%.
