PRODUCTION DATA
The UCC28063 contains the control circuits for two parallel-connected boost pulse-width modulated (PWM) power converters. The boost PWM power converters ramp current in the boost inductors for a time period proportional to the voltage on the error amplifier output. Each power converter then turns off the power MOSFET until current in the boost inductor decays to zero, as sensed on the zero current detection inputs (ZCDA and ZCDB). Once the inductor is demagnetized, the power converter starts another cycle. This on/off cycling produces a triangle wave of current, with peak current set by the on-time and instantaneous power mains input voltage, VIN(t), as shown in Equation 1.
The average line current is exactly equal to half of the peak line current, as shown in Equation 2.
With TON and L being essentially constant during an AC-line period, the resulting triangular current waveform during each switching cycle will have an average value proportional to the instantaneous value of the rectified AC-line voltage. This architecture results in a resistive input impedance characteristic at the line frequency and a near-unity power factor.
