1. Introduction
This document describes the proposed solution for a universal LED ballast using the
FL6961 CRM PFC controller. The input voltage range is 90V
one DC output with a constant current of 1.25A at 24V
general description of FL6961, the power supply specification, schematic, bill of
materials, and the typical operating characteristics.
1.1. General Description of FL6961
The FL6961 is an active Power Factor Correction (PFC) controller for boost PFC
applications that operate in Critical conduction Mode (CRM). It uses a voltage mode
PWM that compares an internal ramp signal with the error amplifier output to generate
the MOSFET turn-off signal. Because the voltage-mode CRM PFC controller does not
need rectified AC line voltage information, it saves the power loss of the input voltagesensing network required by the current-mode CRM PFC controller.
