• Manufacturer Part Number: ml4803cs-2
• Description: 8-pin Controller Combo
• Manufacturer: Microsemi Corporation

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The ML4803 consists of an average current mode boost
Power Factor Corrector (PFC) front end followed by a
synchronized Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) controller. It
is distinguished from earlier combo controllers by its low
pin count, innovative input current shaping technique, and
very low start-up and operating currents. The PWM section
is dedicated to peak current mode operation. It uses
conventional trailing-edge modulation, while the PFC uses
leading-edge modulation. This patented Leading Edge/
Trailing Edge (LETE) modulation technique helps to
minimize ripple current in the PFC DC buss capacitor.
The ML4803 is offered in two versions. The ML4803-1
operates both PFC and PWM sections at 67kHz, while the
ML4803-2 operates the PWM section at twice the
frequency (134kHz) of the PFC. This allows the use of
smaller PWM magnetics and output filter components,
while minimizing switching losses in the PFC stage.
In addition to power factor correction, several protection
features have been built into the ML4803. These include
soft start, redundant PFC over-voltage protection, peak
current limiting, duty cycle limit, and under voltage
lockout (UVLO). See Figure 12 for a typical application.
DETAILED PIN DESCRIPTIONS
V
This pin provides the feedback path which forces the PFC
output to regulate at the programmed value. It connects to
programming resistors tied to the PFC output voltage and
is shunted by the feedback compensation network.
I
This pin ties to a resistor or current sense transformer
which senses the PFC input current. This signal should be
negative with respect to the IC ground. It internally feeds
the pulse-by-pulse current limit comparator and the
current sense feedback signal. The I

to set the PFC duty cycle. The intersection of the boost
inductor current downslope with the internal
programming ramp determines the boost off-time.
V
This pin is typically tied to the feedback opto-collector. It
is tied to the internal 5V reference through a 26kW resistor
and to GND through a 40kW resistor.
I
This pin is tied to the primary side PWM current sense
resistor or transformer. It provides the internal pulse-by
pulse-current limit for the PWM stage (which occurs at
1.5V) and the peak current mode feedback path for the
current mode control of the PWM stage. The current ramp

PFC OUT and PWM OUT
PFC OUT and PWM OUT are the high-current power
