(see Figure 48), enables a more direct under−mains
detection. Even in a brown−out conditions, the PFC
pre−converter may be able to maintain a sufficient bulk
voltage, possibly at the price of some excessive stress.
Measuring the rectified AC line instead of the bulk voltage,
the NCP1239 more surely protects the PFC stage in
brown−out conditions.

with more power than normally necessary. To the light of
these statements, it becomes interesting to accurately limit
the amount of power drawn from the AC line in fault
conditions. The easiest way to do so consists of clamping the
peak current since in a discontinuous mode flyback
converter, the input power (Pin) can be calculated as
follows: Pin = 1/2 * Lp * Ip

into a voltage that is compared to a voltage reference. When
the voltage representative of the current exceeds the voltage
reference, the controller turns off the power switch. The
theoretical maximum peak current is then: Imax =
Vocp/Rsense, where Vocp is the reference voltage (or
overcurrent protection threshold) and Rsense is the sense
resistor.

its maximum permissible level. Internal propagation delays

some time to turn off. Finally, the real current stop can be
250ns or more delayed. During this time, the current
continues ramping up so that an overcurrent is obtained.
In addition, it is not recommended to provide the output
