1.1. General Description
The FL7730 is an active Power Factor Correction (PFC) controller using single-stage
flyback topology. Dimming control with no flicker is implemented by an analog sensing
method. Primary-side regulation and single-stage topology reduce external components
such as input bulk capacitor and feedback circuitry and minimize cost. To improve good
power factor and Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), constant on-time control is utilized
with internal error amplifier and a low-bandwidth compensator. Precise constant-current
control regulates accurate output current, independent of input voltage and output
voltage. Operating frequency is proportionally changed by output voltage to guarantee
DCM operation with higher efficiency. FL7730 provides protections such as open-LED,
short-LED, and over-temperature protection.
