The IC component L6910 is a highly versatile and efficient power factor controller designed for use in power factor correction applications. It offers several key features that make it suitable for a wide range of applications.
Firstly, the L6910 utilizes advanced techniques to achieve high power factor correction and low total harmonic distortion, making it compliant with international power quality standards. It operates in continuous conduction mode (CRM) and discontinuous conduction mode (DCM), providing flexibility in various operating conditions.
Another important feature is its wide input voltage range. The L6910 can efficiently handle input voltages from 85V to 265V AC, making it compatible with a variety of power supply systems worldwide.
To enhance its performance, the L6910 incorporates a built-in voltage reference generator, eliminating the need for an external one. This helps to minimize external component count and reduce the overall system cost.
Furthermore, it offers precise control over the voltage regulation using a proprietary technique called ACTIVE ZCD, which stands for Active Zero Crossing Detection. This technique ensures rapid and accurate response to voltage variations, guaranteeing a stable and efficient power factor correction.
The L6910 also features a low-power sleep mode, which is automatically activated when the load is disconnected or when the input voltage is below a specific threshold. This sleep mode helps to further enhance energy efficiency by reducing standby power consumption.
Additionally, this IC component includes comprehensive protection features to safeguard the system from potential faults
