Inductor saturation detection
Boost inductor's hard saturation may be a fatal event for a PFC pre-regulator: the current up-
slope becomes so large (50-100 times steeper, see
propagation delay the current may reach abnormally high values. The voltage drop caused
by this abnormal current on the sense resistor reduces the gate-to-source voltage, so that
the MOSFET may work in the active region and dissipate a huge amount of power, which
leads to a catastrophic failure after few switching cycles.
However, in some applications such as ac-dc adapters, where the PFC pre-regulator is
turned off at light load for energy saving reasons, even a well-designed boost inductor may
