Off-Line Constant Voltage High Power Factor PWM
Floating Buck Driver Controller
RT8461
General Description
The RT8461 is an off-line, con stant output voltage, a ctive
power factor , PWM floating buck driver controller. With an
unique floating drive topology , the RT8461 simplifies of fline high voltage system application de sign with minimum
number and lower price of components.
T o a chieve high power factor , the AC power line voltage is
sensed via the SIN pin. An internal power fa ctor correction
circuit follows the sensed sine waveform a nd modulates
the external MOSFET duty cycle-by-cycle to achieve
constant output voltage.
The output voltage is adjustable via an output resistor
divider. By operating at 47kHz, the switching loss is kept
minimal and the high frequency EMI is reduced. To drive
industrial grade MOSFET switches, the RT8461 gate driver
can deliver up to 0.8A output current with 12V gate output
voltage. The RT8461 provides output short protection.

1 GND Ground.
2 GATE Gate Driver for External MOSFET Switch.
3 VCC Power Supply. For good bypass, place a ceramic capacitor near the VCC pin.
Inductor Current Sense. The inductor current is sensed by a resistor between GND
4 SENSE
and SENSE pins. The sense pin signal is used as the saw tooth signal to the PWM
comparator. The comparator output will modulate the GATE turn-on duty to
achieve the output voltage regulation.

Output Voltage Sense. The Output voltage is sensed through an external resistor
divider. The sensed voltage (which is tied to amplifier negative input) is compared
to an internal reference threshold at 1.2V (which is tied to amplifier positive input).
The output of this GM amplifier is the VCOMP pin.
Output of this Multiplier. To achieve high power factor, the voltage loop amplifier
output signal is modulated with the sensed input voltage through the SIN pin by an
internal multiplier. A compensation capacitor between ICOMP and GN D is needed.
Input Power Voltage Sensing for PFC Function. An external resistor for input
voltage sensing is connected to the power input.
Output of the Internal Voltage Loop GM Amplifier. A compensation network
between VCOMP and GND is needed.

The RT8461 is a floating-GND Buck PWM current mode
controller with an integrated low side floating gate driver .
The start up voltage of RT8461 is around 10V . Once VCC
is above 16V, the RT8461 will maintain operation until
VCC drops below 8V .
The RT8461's main control loop consists of a 47kHz fixed
frequency oscillator, a n internal 1.2V feedback (FB) voltage
sense threshold, and the PFC control circuit with a PWM
comparator. In normal operation, the GATE turns high
when the gate driver is set by the oscillator (OSC). When
the feedback (FB) voltage is below the reference 1.2V

threshold, the VCOMP pin voltage will go high. The ICOMP
signal is the result of VCOMP signal multiplied with SIN
signal. Higher ICOMP voltage mean s longer G ATE turnon period. The GATE does not always turn-off in each
cycle. The G ATE will be turned on again by OSC for the
next switching cycle.
The RT8461 provides several fault protections, including
input voltage Under V oltage Lockout (UVLO), Over Current
Protection (OCP) and VCC Over V oltage Protection (OVP).
Additionally , to ensure the system reli ability, the RT8461
is built with internal thermal protection function.
