[STEP-9] PFC Voltage Loop Design
Since FAN480X employs line feed-forward, the power
stage transfer function becomes independent of the line
voltage. Then, the low-frequency, small-signal, control-to-
output transfer function is obtained as:
vˆBOUT ≅ IBOUT ⋅ KMAX ⋅ 1
vˆEA

sCBOUT
where:
vˆBOUT ≅ IBOUT ⋅ KMAX ⋅ 1

Proportional and integration (PI) control with high-
frequency pole is typically used for compensation. The
compensation zero (fVZ) introduces phase boost, while the
high-frequency compensation pole (fVP) attenuates the
switching ripple, as shown in Figure 18.
The transfer function of the compensation network is
obtained as:
1+ s
vˆCOMP = 2π fVI ⋅ 2π fVZ
vˆOUT
s 1+ s

The procedure to design the feedback loop is as follows:
(a) Determine the crossover frequency (fVC) around
1/10~1/5 of the line frequency. Since the control-to-
output transfer function of power stage has -20dB/dec
slope and -90o phase at the crossover frequency, as
shown in Figure 18 as 0dB; it is necessary to place the
zero of the compensation network (fVZ) around the
crossover frequency so that 45° phase margin is
obtained. Then, the capacitor CVC1 is determined as:
CVC1
=
GMV ⋅ I BOUT ⋅ K MAX
5 ⋅ CBOUT ⋅ (2π fVC )2
⋅ 2.5
VBOUT
(41)
To place the compensation zero at the crossover
frequency, the compensation resistor is obtained as:
RVC
=
2π
⋅

fVC
⋅ CVC1
(42)
(b) Place compensator high-frequency pole (fVP) at least
a decade higher than fC to ensure that it does not
interfere with the phase margin of the voltage
regulation loop at its crossover frequency. It should
also be sufficiently lower than the switching
frequency of the converter so noise can be effectively
attenuated. Then, the capacitor CVC2 is determined as:
CVC 2
