FAN7530M

Overview

The FAN7530M is a Critical Conduction Mode (CRM) Power Factor Correction controller manufactured by onsemi. It utilizes voltage mode PWM to generate MOSFET turn-off signals without requiring rectified AC line voltage sensing, thereby reducing input voltage sensing network power loss. The device features low Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), precise adjustable output over-voltage protection, open-feedback protection, and disable functions. It includes a zero current detector, internal start-up timer, and MOSFET over-current protection. The controller operates with low start-up and operating currents and provides a totem pole output with high state clamp.
