PFC Peak Current Limiting (CSPFC pin)
During PFC stage switching operation, the PFC switch
current is detected by a current-sense resistor on the
CSPFC pin and the detected voltage on this resistor is
delivered to an input terminal of a comparator and
compared with a threshold voltage 0.6 V (typical). Once
the CSPFC pin voltage is higher than the threshold
voltage, PFC gate is turned off immediately.
The PFC peak switching current is adjustable by the
current-sense resistor. Figure 33 shows the measured
waveform of PFC gate and CSPFC pin voltage.

Brownin/out Protection (VIN Pin)
With AC voltage detection, FAN6921ML can perform
brownin/out protection (AC voltage UVP). Figure 34
shows the key operation waveforms. The VIN pin is
used to detect AC input voltage level and is connected
to AC input by a resistor divider (refer to Figure 1);
therefore, the V
VIN
voltage is proportional to the AC
input voltage. When the AC voltage drops; and V
VIN
voltage   is   lower   than   1 V   for   100 ms,   the   UVP
protection is activated and the COMP pin voltage is
clamped to around 1.6 V. Because PFC gate duty is
determined by comparing the sawtooth waveform and
COMP pin voltage, lower COMP voltage results in
narrow PFC on time, so that the energy converged is
limited and the PFC output voltage decreases. When
INV pin voltage is lower than 1.2 V, FAN6921ML stops
all PFC and PWM switching operation immediately
until V
DD
voltage drops to turn-off voltage then rises to
turn-on voltage again (UVLO).
When the brownout protection is activated, all switching
operation is turned off, the V
DD
voltage enters hiccup
mode up and down continuously. Until V
VIN
voltage is
higher than 1.2 V (typical) and V
DD
reaches turn-on
voltage again, the PWM and PFC gate is sent out.
The measured waveforms of brownin/out protection are
shown in Figure 35.
