Application Note

Link Capacitor Considerations

for CS1601 Applications

1. Introduction

Cirrus Logic's CS1601 is a digital power factor correction (PFC) controller engineered to deliver the lowest system

cost when designing electronic ballast and LED applications. The CS1601 digital controller is tailored for power con-

verter applications that use low-capacitance values on the link output, generally an electrolytic type. In some cases,

the limitations of an electrolytic life cycle may require the use of other capacitor types. This application note contains

an analysis of the use of film capacitors as an alternative that can increase the lifetime of the power converter sys-

tem. This document first explains how to calculate the link output capacitance and then presents a design example

to validate system performance.

2. Design Considerations

The capacitance of the link voltage capacitor is dependent on several parameters in a CS1601 controlled, PFC con-

verter. These parameters are as follows: system stability, link voltage ripple, RMS current in the capacitor, and hold-

up time. This application note’s step-by-step design example will permit the customer to choose the smallest capac-

itance possible for the link voltage capacitor and still meet all system requirements.

2.1 System Stability

To ensure system stability, the recommended capacitance-per-watt ratio of the link voltage capacitor should be

within the range of 0.25F/watt to 0.5F/watt when V

link

= 460VAC. The capacitance-per-watt ratio range is

defined by the digital IC control algorithm. When using the CS1601 controller, it is not recommended to design

a PFC circuit using ratios outside the range stated above.

The V

link

voltage is controlled by adjusting the sensing resistors that connect the IC to the V

rect

and

link

voltages. If the specified V

link

voltage is altered, the link voltage capacitance should also be adjusted to

maintain system stability. The equation below is used to verify the capacitance-per-watt ratio:

2.2 Link Voltage Ripple

To meet the link output voltage ripple requirements, the following equation defines the size of the

output capacitor:
