Pin Functions
GND (Pins 1, 2, 3, 7, 8): Ground.
VREF (Pin 4): Voltage Reference Output Pin, Typically
2V. This pin drives a resistor divider for the OVP pin. Can
supply up to 200A.
OVP (Pin 5): Overvoltage Protection. This pin accepts a
DC voltage to compare to the voltage output information.
When FB pin voltage is above the OVP, the part stops
switching. This protects devices connected to the output.
VC (Pin 6): Compensation Pin for Internal Error Amplifier.
Connect a series RC from this pin to ground to compensate the switching regulator. A 100pF capacitor in parallel
helps eliminate noise.
FB (Pin 9): Voltage Loop Feedback Pin. FB is used to
regulate the output voltage.
DCM (Pin 10): Discontinuous Conduction Mode Detection
Pin. Connect a capacitor and resistor in series with this
pin to the auxiliary winding.
VIN (Pin 11): Input Voltage. This pin supplies current to
the internal start-up circuitry and to the INTVCC LDO. This
pin must be locally bypassed with a capacitor. A 42V shunt
regulator is internally connected to this pin.

EN/UVLO (Pin 12): Enable/Undervoltage Lockout. A resistor divider connected to VIN is tied to this pin to program
the minimum input voltage at which the LT8312 will turn
on. When below 1.25V, the part will draw 60A with most
of the internal circuitry disabled and a 10A hysteresis
current will be pulled out of the EN/UVLO pin. When above
1.25V, the part will be enabled and begin to switch and
the 10A hysteresis current is turned off.
INTVCC (Pin 13): Regulated Supply for Internal Loads
and GATE Driver. Supplied from VIN and regulates to 10V
(typical). INTVCC must be bypassed with a 4.7F capacitor
placed close to the pin.
GATE (Pin 14): N-Channel FET Gate Driver Output. Switches
between INTVCC and GND. Driven to GND during shutdown
state and stays high during low voltage states.
SENSE (Pin 15): The Current Sense Input for the Control
Loop. Kelvin connect this pin to the positive terminal of the
switch current sense resistor, RSENSE, in the source of the
NFET. The negative terminal of the current sense resistor
should be connected to the GND plane close to the IC.
VIN(SENSE) (Pin 16): Line Voltage Sense Pin. The pin is
used for sensing the AC line voltage to perform power
factor correction. Connect a resistor in series with the
line voltage to this pin.

LT8312
Operation
The LT8312 is a power factor correction boost controller
IC. It provides high power factor and low harmonic distortion in applications with current mode control and critical
conduction mode.
Active power factor correction is becoming a requirement for offline power supplies. A power factor of one is
achieved if the current drawn is proportional to the input
voltage. The LT8312 modulates the peak current limit with
a scaled version of the input voltage. This technique can
provide power factors of 0.97 or greater.
The Block Diagram shows an overall view of the system.
The external components are in a boost topology configuration. The auxiliary winding supplies power to the part in
steady-state operation. The VIN pin supplies power to an
internal LDO that generates 10V at the INTVCC pin. The
control circuitry consists of an error amplifier, a multiplier,
a current comparator, and a master latch, which will be
explained in the following sections. A comparator is used
to detect discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) with a
cap connected to the auxiliary winding. The part features
a 1.9A gate driver.

a rate proportional to the difference between the output

voltage and the input voltage. When the current decreases
to zero, the output diode turns off and the voltage on the
drain of the MOSFET starts to oscillate from the parasitic
capacitance and the inductor. The auxiliary winding has
the same voltage across it as the main inductor and rings
too. The capacitor connected to the DCM pin, C1, trips the
comparator A2, which serves as a dv/dt detector, when
the ringing occurs. The dv/dt detector waits for the ringing
waveform to reach its minimum value and then the switch
turns back on. This switching behavior is similar to zero
volt switching and minimizes the amount of energy lost
when the switch is turned back on and improves efficiency
as much as 5%. Since this part operates on the edge of
continuous conduction mode and discontinuous conduction mode, the operating mode is called critical conduction
mode (or boundary conduction mode).
The output voltage is regulated with a resistor divider
connected to the FB pin. The output of the error amplifier
is the VC pin. This node needs a capacitor to compensate
the control loop.

The LT8312 is designed for off-line applications. The

EN/UVLO and a resistor divider are configured for a
micropower hysteretic start-up. In the Block Diagram, R2
is used to stand off the high voltage supply voltage. The
internal LDO starts to supply current to the INTVCC pin
when VIN is above 2.5V. The VIN and INTVCC capacitor
are charged by the current from R2. When VIN exceeds
the turn-on threshold and INTVCC is in regulation at 10V,
the part begins to switch. The VIN hysteresis is set by the
EN/UVLO resistor divider. The auxiliary winding provides
power to VIN when its voltage is higher than the VIN voltage. A voltage shunt is provided for fault protection and
can sink 8mA of current when VIN is over 40V.

Power Factor Correction

During a typical cycle, the gate driver turns the external

MOSFET on and a current flows through the inductor.
This current increases at a rate proportional to the input
voltage. The control loop determines the maximum current
and the current comparator turns the switch off when the
current level is reached. When the switch turns off, the
inductor current begins to flow through the diode connected to the output capacitor. This current decreases at

The LT8312 uses a hysteretic start-up to operate from

high offline voltages. A resistor connected to the supply
voltage protects the part from high voltages. This resistor
is connected to the VIN pin on the part and bypassed with
a capacitor. When the resistor charges the VIN pin to a
turn-on voltage set with the EN/UVLO resistor divider and
the INTVCC pin is at its regulation point, the part begins to
switch. The resistor cannot provide power for the part in

When the VIN(SENSE) pin is connected to the supply voltage with a resistor, the current limit is proportional to the
supply voltage. If the LT8312 is configured with a fast
control loop, the VC pin would adjust to the changes of the
VIN(SENSE). The only way for the multiplier to function is
to set the control loop to be an order of magnitude slower
than the fundamental frequency of the VIN(SENSE) signal.
In an offline application, the fundamental frequency of
the supply voltage is 120Hz so the control loop unity gain
frequency needs to be set less than approximately 12Hz.

Operation
steady state, but relies on the capacitor to start up the part,
then the auxiliary winding begins to provide power to the
VIN pin along with the resistor. An internal voltage clamp
is attached to the VIN pin to prevent the resistor current
from allowing VIN to go above the absolute maximum
voltage of the pin. The internal clamp is set at 40V and is
capable of 8mA (typical) of current at room temperature.
Setting the VIN Turn-On and Turn-Off Voltages
A large voltage difference between the VIN turn-on voltage
and the VIN turn-off voltage is preferred to allow time for
the auxiliary winding to power the part. The EN/UVLO
sets these two voltages. The pin has a 10A current sink
when the pins voltage is below 1.25V and 0A when
above 1.25V. The VIN pin connects to a resistor divider
as shown in Figure 1.

Programming Output Voltage

The output voltage is set using a resistor divider from the
output capacitor to the FB pin. From the Block Diagram
the resistors R3 and R4 form a resistor divider from the
output capacitor. The output voltage equation is:

VOUT = VBG

R3+R4
R5

The VBG voltage is equal to FB Voltage in Electrical Specification Table.

Setting VIN(SENSE) Resistor
The VIN(SENSE) resistor sets the current feeding the internal
multiplier that modulates the current limit for power factor
correction. At the maximum line voltage, VMAX, the current
is set to 360A. Under this condition, the resistor value is
equal to (VMAX/360A).
Critical Conduction Mode Operation
Critical conduction mode is a variable frequency switching
scheme that always returns the inductor current to zero
with every cycle. The DCM pin uses a fast current input
comparator in combination with a small capacitor to detect
dv/dt on the auxiliary winding. To eliminate false tripping,
a blanking time of 200ns is applied after the switch turns
off. The detector looks for 80A of current through the
DCM pin due to falling voltage on the auxiliary winding
when the output diode turns off. This is not the optimal
time to turn the switch on because the switch voltage is still
close to VOUT and would waste all the energy stored in the
parasitic capacitance on the switch node. Discontinuous
ringing begins when the output diode current reaches zero

LT8312
Operation
and the energy in the parasitic capacitance on the switch
node transfers to the input capacitor. This is a secondorder network composed of the parasitic capacitance on
the switch node and the main inductor. The minimum
voltage of the switch node during this discontinuous
ring is 2VIN-VOUT. The LT8312 turns the switch back on
at this time, during the discontinuous switch waveform,
by sensing when the slope of the switch waveform goes
from negative to positive using the dv/dt detector. This
switching technique may increase efficiency by 5%.
At low current limits, the frequency of critical conduction mode can become very high. The LT8312 features a
maximum frequency clamp of 400kHz. The part operates
in discontinuous conduction mode when the natural critical conduction mode frequency is higher than 400kHz.
Sense Resistor Selection
The resistor, RSENSE, between the source of the external
N-channel MOSFET and GND should be selected to provide
an adequate switch current to drive the application without
exceeding the current limit threshold.
Minimum Current Limit
The LT8312 features a minimum current limit of approximately 3% of the peak current limit. This helps improve
the harmonic distortion during the input supplies off-line
crossover period.
Universal Input
The LT8312 operates over the universal input voltage
range of 90V AC to 265V AC.

Loop Compensation
The feedback loop is a traditional gm error amplifier. The
loop crossover frequency is set much lower than twice
the line frequency for PFC to work properly. In a typical
application, the compensation capacitor is 1F.
MOSFET and Diode Selection
With a strong 1.9A gate driver, the LT8312 can effectively
drive most high voltage MOSFETs. A low QG MOSFET is
recommended to maximize efficiency. In most applications,
the RDS(ON) should be chosen to limit the temperature rise
of the MOSFET. The drain of the MOSFET is stressed to
VOUT during the time the MOSFET is off and the diode is
conducting current.
The diode is stressed to VOUT when the switch is on. The
average current through the diode is equal to the load
current.
Discontinuous Mode Detection
The discontinuous mode detector uses AC-coupling to
detect the ringing on the auxiliary winding. A 22pF capacitor with a 30k resistor in series is recommended in
most designs.
Power Factor Correction/Harmonic Content
The LT8312 attains high power factor and low harmonic
content by making the peak current of the main power
switch proportional to the line voltage by using and internal
multiplier. A power factor of >0.97 is easily attainable for
most applications by following the design equations in
this data sheet. With proper design, LT8312 applications
can easily meet most harmonic standards.
