CS1601
For optimal performance, resistors RIAC & RIFB should use 1%
tolerance or better resistors for best Vlink voltage accuracy.
5.5 PFC Output Capacitor
The value of the PFC output capacitor should be chosen
based upon voltage ripple and hold-up requirements. To
ensure system stability with the digital controller, the
recommended value of the capacitor is within the range of
0.25F/watt to 0.5F/watt with a Vlink voltage of 460V.
5.7 Valley Switching
The zero-current detection (ZCD) pin is monitored for
demagnetization in the auxiliary winding of the boost inductor
(LB). The ZCD circuit is designed to detect the VAux
valley/zero crossings by sensing the voltage transformed onto
the auxiliary winding of LB.
5.6 Output IFB Sense & Input IAC Sense
A current proportional to the PFC output voltage, Vlink, is
supplied to the IC on pin IFB and is used as a feedback control
signal. This current is compared against an internal fixed-
value reference current.

The ADC is used to measure the magnitude of the IIFB current
through resistor RIFB. The magnitude of the IIFB current is then
compared to an internal reference current of (Iref) 129A.

The objective of zero-voltage switching is to initiate each
MOSFET switching cycle when its drain-source voltage is at
the lowest possible voltage potential, thus reducing switching
losses. CS1601 uses an auxiliary winding on the PFC boost
inductor to implement zero-voltage switching.

By using digital loop compensation, the voltage feedback
signal does not require an external compensation network.
A current proportional to the AC input voltage is supplied to the
IC on pin IAC and is used by the PFC control algorithm.

RIAC
During each switching cycle, when the boost diode current
reaches zero, the boost MOSFET drain-source voltage begins
oscillating at the resonant frequency of the boost inductor and
MOSFET parasitic output capacitance. The ZCD_below_zero
signal transitions from high to low just prior to a local minimum
of the MOSFET drain-source voltage oscillation. The zero-
crossing detect circuit ensures that a ZCD_below_zero pulse
will only be generated when the comparator output is
continuously high for a nominal time period (tZCB) of 200ns.
Therefore, any negative edges on the comparator's output
due to spurious glitches will not cause a pulse to be
generated.
