to develop the internal ramp by charging the internal
30pF +12/–10% capacitor. See Figures 10 and 11. The
frequency of the internal programming ramp is set
internally to 67kHz.

In DCM, the input current wave shaping technique used
by the ML4803 could cause the input current to run away.
In order for this technique to be able to operate properly
under DCM, the programming ramp must meet the boost
inductor current down-slope at zero amps. Assuming the
programming ramp is zero under light load, the OFF-time
will be terminated once the inductor current reaches zero.
Subsequently the PFC gate drive is initiated, eliminating
the necessary dead time needed for the DCM mode. This

INTERNALVOLTAGE RAMP
The internal ramp current source is programmed by way of
the VEAO pin voltage. Figure 7 displays the internal ramp
current vs. the VEAO voltage. This current source is used
