OB6561 is a cost effective high performance transition-mode (TM) power-factor correction (PFC) controller IC optimized for pre-regulator applications. OB6561 integrates an internal start-up timer, a simple multiplier for generating a current reference in sync with input voltage, a zero current detector (ZCD) to ensure transition mode operation and a current sensing comparator with built-in leadingedge blanking. With ZCD Control, power MOSFET is always turned on with zero inductor current. Consequently, transition mode (TM) control achieves lower switching loss and reduced noise.
