UCC28070: PFC has a low PF value

Part Number: UCC28070

Hello

PFC PF value is low, what is the reason?
How to debug?
What are the possible reasons?
Input 220VAC, rated output 360VDC, load 510 ohms, PF value 0.55, output 340VDC.

Thank you

Regards

Neil

  • Neil,

    I will ask an application engineer from the relevant team to look into your issues.

    Meanwhile, can you give more details to help?

    Can you post your schematic (with values) and some waveforms? The line current, output voltage, PFC gate drive and PFC CS.

    It sounds like the PFC controller is not running for some reason and you are just get peak-rectifed AC with resulting very poor PF.


    Thanks,
    Bernard
