NCP1654PFCGEVB(#1): 390V @ 300W, 85 ~ 230VAC in

The NCP1654GEVB is a Power Factor Controller to efficiently drive Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM) step-up pre-converters. The NCP1654 allows operation in Follower Boost mode to drastically lower the pre-converter size and cost, in a straight-forward manner. The NCP1654 is a continuous conduction mode and fixed frequency controller (65kHz). The coil (650 uH) is selected to limit the peak to peak current ripple in the range of 36 % at the sinusoid top, in full load and low line conditions.

The NCP1654 is a controller for Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM) Power Factor Correction step−up pre−converters. It controls the power switch conduction time (PWM) in a fixed frequency mode and in dependence on the instantaneous coil current.

Housed in a SO8 package, the circuit minimizes the number of external components and drastically simplifies the PFC implementation. It also integrates high safety protection features that make the NCP1654 a driver for robust and compact PFC stages like an effective input power runaway clamping circuitry.
