The 8-pin LT1249 provides active power factor correction
for universal off-line power systems with very few external
parts. By using fixed high frequency PWM current averag-
ing without the need for slope compensation, the LT1249
achieves far lower line current distortion, with a smaller
magnetic element than systems that use either peak
current detection or zero current switching approach, in
both continuous and discontinuous modes of operation.
The LT1249 uses a multiplier that has a square gain
function from the voltage amplifier to reduce the AC gain
at light output load and thus maintains low line current
distortion and high system stability. The LT1249 also
provides filtering capability to reject line switching noise
which can cause instability when fed into the multiplier.
Line current dead zone is minimized with low bias voltage
at the current input to the multiplier.
The LT1249 provides many protection features including
peak current limiting and overvoltage protection. The
switching frequency is internally set at 100kHz.
While the LT1249 simplifies PFC design with minimal
parts count, the LT1248 provides flexibilities in switching
frequency, overvoltage, and current limit.
