Thermal Sensitivity for UC3854

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UC3854

We started using TI's UC3854 PFC IC which seems to be extremely sensitive to temperature. At at 70-80 deg C the output starts to droop and it looks like the zero-crossing circuit is getting messed up (we are seeing discontinuous, sinusoidal current). We already know that we are on the border for  temperature range. Our product is already  in the field and changing the IC is not possible.  We a looking for inside information on what would cause this type of behavior.  We would like to do something  externally to alleviate the problem if possible.  Thanks.
