Fairchild’s FAN9611/12 is a cross dual boundary conduction mode (BCM) power factor correction (PFC) controller, which can control two power chains connected in parallel with a phase shift of 180 degrees, and control the power from 300W to 800W. The switching frequency is between 16.5kHz and 525kHz, and the starting current is 80uA. It is mainly used in 100-1000W AC/DC power supply, large-screen LCD-TV, PDP-TV and RP-TV power supply, high-efficiency desktop computer and server power supply, network and communication power supply As well as solar micro-inverters. This article introduces the main features, block diagrams, typical application circuit diagrams of FAN9611/12, and the main features, circuit diagrams, bill of materials and PCB component layout diagrams and peak current limit circuit diagrams of the FAN9611 300W cross double BCM small-size PFC evaluation board. .

The FAN9611/12 family of interleaved dual Boundary-Conduction-Mode (BCM) Power-Factor-Correction (PFC) controllers operate two parallel-connected boost power trains 180° out of phase. Interleaving extends the maximum practical power level of the control technique from about 300W to greater than 800W. Unlike the continuous conduction mode (CCM) technique often used at higher power levels, BCM offers inherent zerocurrent switching of the boost diodes, which permits the use of less expensive diodes without sacrificing efficiency. Furthermore, the input and output filters can be smaller due to ripple current cancellation and effective doubling of the switching frequency.

The converters operate with variable frequency, which is a function of the load and the instantaneous input / output voltages. The switching frequency is limited between 16.5kHz and 525kHz. The Pulse Width Modulators (PWM) implement voltage-mode control with input voltage feedforward. When configured for PFC applications, the slow voltage regulation loop results in constant on-time operation within a line cycle. This PWM method, combined with the BCM operation of the boost converters, provides automatic power factor correction.

The controllers offers bias UVLO (10V / 7.5V for FAN9611 and 12.5V / 7.5V for FAN9612), input brownout, over-current, open-feedback, output overvoltage, and redundant latching over-voltage protections.

Furthermore, the converters’ output power is limited independently of the input RMS voltage. Synchronization between the power stages is maintained under all operating conditions.

The FAN9611 interleaved, dual Boundary-Conduction-Mode (BCM), Power-Factor- Correction (PFC) controllers operate two parallel-connected boost power trains 180º out of phase. Interleaving extends the maximum practical power level of the control technique from about 300W to greater than 800W. Unlike the Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM) technique often used at higher power levels, BCM offers inherent zerocurrent switching of the boost diodes (no reverse-recovery losses), which permits the use of less expensive diodes without sacrificing efficiency. Furthermore, the input and output filters can be smaller due to ripple current cancellation between the power trains and doubling of effective switching frequency.

The advanced line feed-forward with peak detection circuit minimizes the output voltage variation during line transients. To guarantee stable operation with less switching loss at light load, the maximum switching frequency is clamped at 525kHz. Synchronization is maintained under all operating conditions.

Protection functions include output over-voltage, over-current, open-feedback, undervoltage lockout, brownout, and redundant latching over-voltage protection. FAN9611 is available in a lead-free, 16-lead, Small-Outline Integrated-Circuit (SOIC ) package.

This FAN9611 evaluation board uses a four-layer Printed Circuit Board (PCB) designed for 300W (400V/0.75A) rated power. The maximum rated power is 350W and the Maximum On-Time (MOT) power limit is set to 360W. The FEBFAN9611_S01U300A is optimized to demonstrate all the FAN9611 efficiency and protection features in a lowprofile height form factor less than 18mm.
