(100kHz)(15k) = 1nF. For added protection the LT1508
provides a second independent current limit comparator.
When the input voltage to the comparator (PK
LIM
pin) dips
below 0V, GTDR1 pin quickly goes low turning off the PFC
power switch. A resistor divider from V
REF
to R
S
(Figure 6)
senses the voltage across the line current sense resistor
(R
S
) and limits the peak input line current to [(7.5V/R1) +
50碌A(chǔ)] (R2/R
S
). The 50碌A(chǔ) represents the PK
LIM
input
current which flows out of the PK
LIM
pin. With R1 = 10k
and R2 = 1.8k, I
IN
= 9.6A peak above the 6.67A peak
average plus the input inductor peak ripple current.
Always use R
SET
to set the primary line current limit. The
PK
LIM
comparator is only for secondary protection. When
the line current reaches the primary limit, V
OUT
can no
longer be supported with the given input current and
begins to fall. System stability is maintained by the current
loop which is controlled by the current amplifier. When the
