The TIDA-00779 is a 3.5-kw, cost competitive power factor regulator converter designed for room air-conditioner and other major appliances. This reference design is a continuous-conduction-mode (CCM) boost converter implemented using TI’s UCC28180 PFC controller provided with all of the necessary built-in protections. The hardware is designed and tested to pass surge, and EFT testing as per the IEC61000 requirements for household appliances.
