UCC28600: PFC bias connection necessary in 120W reference design?

Part Number: UCC28600
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UCC28501, UCC28051,

I'm planning to connect the UCC28051 EVM board as the input to a UCC28600 65W EVM for power factor correction (I realize that the rectifier on the UCC28600 65W EVM board will be useless/redundant as it will just be passing DC, and I have reduce UCC28501 EVM output voltage to 260 VDC, which will be safe for that rectifier)

I see that the UCC28600 120W reference design is doing this combination of components, so I'm looking closely at the design. In that reference design the status pin on the UCC28600 is used to enable/disable the PFC stage under light loads. When I connect these two evaluation boards will there be any issue if I do not have that same connection? In other words, is there an issue if the PFC stage is always running? In the final design that is being developed I will connect this enable/disable feature. I'm just verifying for this testing.

In general, the input to the PFC stage will be triac-chopped AC. I don't think that this will be an issue, but can you please verify?


Thank you
