sets the feedback current and is calculated as
follows:
By using digital loop compensation, the voltage feedback
signal does not require an external compensation network.
A current proportional to the AC input voltage is supplied to the
IC on pin IAC and is used by the PFC control algorithm.

For optimal performance, resistors R

5.7 Valley Switching
The zero-current detection (ZCD) pin is monitored for
demagnetization in the auxiliary winding of the boost inductor
(L
B
). The ZCD circuit is designed to detect the V
Aux
valley/zero crossings by sensing the voltage transformed onto
the auxiliary winding of L
B
.
Figure 18. ZCD Input Pin Model
The objective of zero-voltage switching is to initiate each
MOSFET switching cycle when its drain-source voltage is at
the lowest possible voltage potential, thus reducing switching
losses. The CS1501 uses an auxiliary winding on the PFC
boost inductor to implement zero-voltage switching.
Figure 19. Zero-voltage Switch
During each switching cycle, when the boost diode current
reaches zero, the boost MOSFET drain-source voltage begins
oscillating at the resonant frequency of the boost inductor and
MOSFET parasitic output capacitance. The ZCD_below_zero
signal transitions from high to low just prior to a local minimum
of the MOSFET drain-source voltage oscillation. The
zero-crossing detect circuit ensures that a ZCD_below_zero
pulse will only be generated when the comparator output is
continuously high for a nominal time period (t
ZCB
) of 200ns.
Therefore, any negative edges on the comparator's output
due to spurious glitches will not cause a pulse to be
generated. Due to the CS1501’s variable-frequency control,
the MOSFET switching cycle will not always be initiated at the
first resonant valley.
The external circuitry should be designed so that the current
(I
ZCD
) at the ZCD pin is approximately
1.0 mA. The table
below depicts approximate values for R3 and R4 for a range
of boost-to-auxiliary inductor turns ratio, N.
