Functional Description
The objective of the current loop is to regulate the
average inductor current such that it is proportional to
the off duty cycle DOFF, and thus to the input voltage
VIN. Figure 14 shows the scheme to achieve the
objective.

The PWM is performed by the intersection of a ramp
signal with the averaged inductor current at pin 1 (PFC
ICOMP). The PWM cycle starts with the Gate turn off
for a duration of TOFFMIN (400ns typ.) and the ramp is
kept discharged. The ramp is then allowed to rise after
TOFFMIN expires. The off time of the boost transistor
ends at the intersection of the ramp signal and the
averaged current waveform. This results in the
proportional relationship between the average current
and the off duty cycle DOFF.
Figure 15 shows the timing diagrams of TOFFMIN and the
PWM waveforms.

3.4.12 PWM Logic
The PWM logic block prioritizes the control input
signals and generates the final logic signal to turn on
the driver stage. The speed of the logic gates in this
block, together with the width of the reset pulse TOFFMIN,
are designed to meet a maximum duty cycle DMAX of
95% at the GATE output under 65kHz of operation.
In case of high input currents which result in Peak
Current Limitation, the GATE will be turned off
immediately and maintained in off state for the current
PWM cycle. The signal Toffmin resets (highest priority,
overriding other input signals) both the current limit
latch and the PWM on latch as illustrated in Figure 16.

3.4.13 Voltage Loop
The voltage loop is the outer loop of the cascaded
control scheme which controls the PFC output bus
voltage VOUT. This loop is closed by the feedback
sensing voltage at VSENSE which is a resistive divider
tapping from VOUT. The pin VSENSE is the input of
OTA1 which has an internal reference of 3V. Figure 17
shows the important blocks of this voltage loop.

3.4.14 Voltage Loop Compensation
The compensation of the voltage loop is installed at the
pin 4 (PFC VCOMP) (see Figure 17). This is the output
of OTA1 and the compensation must be connected at
t
this pin to ground. The compensation is also
responsible for the soft start function which controls an
increasing AC input current during start-up.
3.4.11 Nonlinear Gain Block
The nonlinear gain block controls the amplitude of the
regulated inductor current. The input of this block is the
voltage at pin 4 (PFC VCOMP). This block has been
