ML4827
Fault-Protected PFC and PWM Controller Combo
necessary for conformance to the safety requirements of
UL1950. A direct descendent of the industry-standard
Features
• Pin-compatible with industry-standard ML4824-1
ML4824-1, the ML4827 adds a TriFault Detect™ function to
• TriFault Detect™ to conform to UL1950™ requirements
guarantee that no unsafe conditions may result from single
• Available in 50% or 74% max duty cycle versions
component failure in the PFC. Power Factor Correction
• Low total harmonic distortion
(PFC) allows the use of smaller, lower cost bulk capacitors,
• Reduces ripple current in the storage capacitor between
reduces power line loading and stress on the switching FETs,
the PFC and PWM sections
and results in a power supply that fully complies with
• Average current, continuous boost leading edge PFC
IEC1000-3-2 specification. The ML4827 includes circuits
• High efficiency trailing-edge PWM can be configured for
for the implementation of a leading edge, average current,
current mode or voltage mode operation
• Average line voltage compensation with brown-out
“boost” type power factor correction and a trailing edge,
pulse width modulator (PWM). The device is available in
control
two versions; the ML4827-1 (Duty Cycle

MAX
• PFC overvoltage comparator eliminates output
“runaway” due to load removal
• Current fed gain modulator for improved noise immunity
• Overvoltage protection, UVLO, and soft start
maximum duty cycle of the -2 allows enhanced utilization of
a given transformer core’s power handling capacity. An over-
voltage comparator shuts down the PFC section in the event
of a sudden decrease in load. The PFC section also includes
peak current limiting and input voltage brown-out
protection. The PWM section can be operated in current or
voltage mode, and includes a duty cycle limit to prevent
transformer saturation.
