UC3853
High Power Factor Preregulator
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
•
Complete 8-pin Power Factor
Solution
The UC3853 provides simple, yet high performance active power factor
correction. Using the same control technique as the UC1854, this 8-pin de-
vice exploits a simplified architecture and an internal oscillator to minimize
external component count. The UC3853 incorporates a precision multi-
plier/squarer/divider circuit, voltage and current loop error amplifiers, and a
precision voltage reference to implement average current mode control
with RMS line voltage compensation. This control technique maintains con-
stant loop gain with changes in input voltage, which minimizes input line
current distortion over the worldwide input voltage range.

Oscillator
The internal 75kHz oscillator includes an external clock input, allowing syn-
chronization to downstream converters. Additionally, the device features an
overvoltage protection comparator, a clamped MOSFET gate driver which
self-biases low during undervoltage lockout, and low startup and supply
