WW reference • L6562A recognized as PFC world wide reference

 PFC ICs 5

A Power Factor Control is the SMPS stage connected to AC input

Mains that addresses the need to limit THD

PFC pre-regulator between the bridge and the bulk draws from the
mains a quasi-sinusoidal current in-phase with the line voltage

Harmonic current emission is regulated by standards EN 61000-3-2.

Lighting requirements > 25W, SMPS & chargers > 75W

Maximize the energy delivery to load means to reduce the Total

Harmonic Distortion (THD) and therefore maximize the Power Factor
