diode loss can be calculated by (22) and then a diode can be
selected considering diode thermal characteristic.

3-2. Control circuit design
1) Output voltage sensing resistor and feedback loop design
R1 is determined by the maximum output over voltage,
∆Vovp and R2 is determined by (23).

The feedback loop bandwidth must be narrower than 20Hz
for the PFC application. Therefore a capacitor is connected
between INV and EA_OUT to eliminate the 120Hz ripple
voltage by 40dB. The error amp compensation capacitor can
be calculated by (24). To improve the power factor, Ccomp
must be increased than the calculated value. And to improve
the system response, Ccomp must be lowered than the
calculated value.

2) Zero current detection resistor design
Idet current should be less than 3mA, therefore zero current
detection resistor is determined by (25).

3) Start-up circuit design
To start up the FAN7527, the start-up current must be
supplied through a start-up resistor. The resistor value is
calculated by (26) and (27). The start-up capacitor must
supply IC operating current before the auxiliary winding
supplies IC operating current maintaining Vcc voltage
higher than the UVLO voltage. Therefore the start up
capacitor is designed by (28).

Calculate the pin 3 voltage at the lowest line using Gin(max)
by (30). Then the current sense resistor is determined by
(31), (32) and (34). Once the current sense resistor is
determined, then the minimum line voltage sensing gain,
Gin(max) is determined by (31).

The boost inductor is determined by (6). Calculate it at both
the lowest line and the highest line and choose the lower

inductor value, EI3026 core is used and the primary winding
is 62 turns. The air gap is 0.586mm at both legs of the EI
core. The auxiliary winding is determined by (7) and the
auxiliary winding is 5 turns.
