NCP1653GEVB, PFC CCM Step-Up Evaluation Board

NCP1653 is a Power Factor Controller used to efficiently drive Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM) step-up pre-converters. This circuit represents a major leap towards compactness and ease of implementation. Housed in a DIP8 or SO8 package, the circuit minimizes the external components count without sacrificing performance and flexibility. In particular, the NCP1653 integrates all the key protections to build robust PFC stages like an effective input power runaway clamping circuitry. When needed or wished, the NCP1653 also allows operation in Follower Boost mode to drastically lower the pre-converter size and cost, in a straight-forward manner
