SLUSAO7C September 2011 – July 2024 UCC28063
PRODUCTION DATA
Due to the parasitic resonance between the drain-source capacitance of the switching MOSFET and the boost inductor, conventional transition-mode PFC circuits may not be able to absorb power from the input line when the input voltage is near zero. This limitation increases total harmonic distortion as a result of ac-line current waveform distortion in the form of flat spots. To help reduce line-current distortion, the UCC28063 increases switching MOSFET on-time when the input voltage is near 0 V to improve the power absorption capability and compensate for this effect.
Figure 6-12 in the Typical Characteristics section shows the increase in on-time with respect to VINAC voltage. Excessive filtering of the VINAC signal will nullify this function.
