Introduction
The aim of this Application Note is to give an example of how to use the ST7MC microcontroller to
implement the Power Factor Correction (PFC) inside a motor control application. The ST7MC
microcontroller is provided with a Motor Control Peripheral which has been developed to implement motor
control function for Induction motors and Permanent Magnet Synchronous motors. The motor control
peripheral leaves the microcontroller resources free to perform the power factor correction.
The power factor correction technique utilized is called “transition mode”. The hardware used to realize
the system is the ST7MC Starter Kit plus an additional external power board called “Add On”.
In this application note, theoretical information about the PFC control method is given, in addition to an
explanation of the software routine able to manage the PFC stage and the calculation of the Add On
components.

1 Theory about the PFC
Theory about the PFC
This application note focuses on the management by a microcontroller of the boost stage to
obtain a power factor corrector (PFC) working in transition mode.
Of course to do this job the microcontroller should have a timer with a special feature.
A block diagram of the application is shown in Figure 1.

Description
With this method, the boost inductor works on the boundary between continuous and
discontinuous mode. In this operation mode there is a high peak current which means that this
kind of approach could be used for power below 600W.
Here, the system works with fixed ON-time and variable frequency and functions as follows:
The main supply is rectified by the bridge and the energy is stored in the transformer during the
turn-on period of the mosfet. This time interval is called Ton and must be calculated by the
Micro according to the Vout value, the input voltage and the load.
To simplify the algorithm, just the output voltage is measured and the difference (error) between
the desired values (400V) and the actual value is calculated. This error is multiplied by a
constant to obtain the right correction value.
The measured voltage value is the average of eight ADC conversions.
The turn-off time of the mosfet is called Toff and is fixed by the circuit. This means the inductor
discharges all its own energy to the output stage until its current goes to zero.
In this condition, the drain Voltage will go to the Vin voltage and an oscillation due to the MOS
capacitance is added to this voltage.
In order to reduce the commutation losses, the MOS must be turned ON when the Drain
voltage reaches the minimum.
To detect this condition the secondary winding of the transformer is used. In fact, in this
secondary winding is a square wave with zero mean value which is made up of a negative
signal during the Ton and a positive signal during the Toff. To adapt this signal to the digital
world of a microcontroller a resistor to limit the current plus the internal clamping diodes have
been used to obtain a square TTL waveform.

1 Theory about the PFC
PFC for ST7MC Starter Kit
So, finally, a TTL square wave is obtained on the microcontroller pin which is used by the timer
peripheral to restart the counter cycle and fix the counter period.
For the timer, it's important to note that if there isn't a load variation and/or a variation of the
input voltage, it could work as a standalone circuit without any computational time required to
the micro. In fact, if the zero current condition (ZCD) is missed the timer will restart at the
minimum frequency through a software routine.
Of course the availability of the micro makes a lot of features possible simply by modifying
some parameters and it also allows a particular software routine to be used to improve the
control method.
The output of the PWM timer is connected to the TD220 driver that drives the MOS of the boost
stage.

2 Starter kit approach
Starter kit approach
To implement the PFC with the ST7MC starter kit we developed a power board “Add On” that
realizes the control of the Bus voltage with a boost topology.
The Power Add On is connected to the mains and provides the Bus voltage for the starter kit.
The Power Add On requires two connections with the starter kit. One is the PWM generated by
the microcontroller coming from the starter kit and the second sends the zero crossing signals
to the starter kit. The Add On power board needs a supplementary 15 Volts to supply the driver,
which can be provided by the starter kit (J16). The starter kit is then connected to the motor by
the wire for the phases and with the tachometer signal if required.
The Add On power board provides the rectified and controlled voltage bus for the starter kit.
The starter kit board has been modified as in Figure 2
●
the bridge D4 has been removed and correctly short-circuited (pin 1-2; pin 3-4)
●
the capacitances C1 and C2 have been removed

To get the Bus voltage value a voltage divider with R16-R17 and R20 is used. To get 5 Volts as
a maximum voltage for the AD converter with the new Bus voltage max value, R20 must be
replaced with a 6.2K resistance.
To connect the Power Add On board with the starter kit, use two control cables, one to
communicate the PWM for the Add on coming from starter kit and one to get the zero crossing
from the Add on to the starter kit. The connection of the zero crossing cable is critical. The
shunt resistor has been connected near the pin of the starter kit to avoid a capacitive parasite
effect of the cable acting as a filter for the zero crossing signal and a capacitor of 12pF has
been added to filter the noise.
To generate the PWM for the PFC, the Timer B of the micro is used. The PWM signal of the
PFC Power Add On is connected to the OCMP1_B pin of the micro (J10 Pin 3) and the Zero
Crossing signal of the Add On reaches the ICAP1_B pin of the micro (J10 Pin 7).
The PE2 pin it is connected with ICAP1_B, because it is used to force the reset of PWM when
the ZCD signal is missed.
This could happen for example when the instantaneous input voltage is too low to energize the
inductor.
The Vout of the Add On is the Mains for the Starter Kit board so must be connected to the Pin 2
and Pin 3 of J3.
The ground signal is connected directly from the ground of the micro to the ground of the driver
in the Add On.
The connections are depicted in Figure 4.

PFC software description
This paragraph contains a description of the part of the software related to the PFC. The
complete explanation of the software is beyond this AN. For a more detailed explanation of the
motor control software library please refer to the application note AN1904.
The modules related to PFC are the following:
●
Pfc.c
●
Pwmart.c (Partially)
●
Timer.c
The file Pfc.h contains some parameters that can be customized by the user according the
application.
At the beginning of the main module (main.c) there is the initialization of the PFC variables and
timer parameters.
PFC_Init();
PFC_TIMER_Init();
SetBit(TBCR2,TBCR2_OC1E);
Then in the main loop the only two tasks performed are the acquisition of the Bus voltage Vout
10/20
www.BDTIC.com/ST
PFC for ST7MC Starter Kit
3 Firmware description
Vout=ADC_GetVout();
and the check of over-voltage detection condition, performed in the procedure PFC_Run.
In the Pfc.h file are defined different status of the PFC system:
#define
#define
#define
#define
#define
#define
#define
#define
PFCOFF 0x00 /* no fault*/
TOOTONINCREASE 0x01 /* Too Ton increase*/
OVERVOLTAGEFAULT 0x02 /* OverVoltage detect for MAXOVERVOLTAGE time*/
PFCRUNNING 0x04
LOWVOLTAGEFAULT 0x10 /* Low voltage on DC BUS */
NORESTARTTON 0x20 /* No restart after OverVoltage */
NORESTARTOV 0x40 /* No restart after OverVoltage */
EXTBREAK
0x80 /* External break event */
The other PFC routines are called inside the ART interrupt. This is used as a time base for all
time-related issues of the motor control routine and it is generated every 1 ms.
The PFC Ton Adjust routine it is called each 20 ART interrupts (20 ms) if the status of the
system is PFC Running and this routine is used to calculate and set the new Ton duration.
●
If the status of the system is TOOTONINCREASE it means that the PWM is stopped
because there was too much successive increase of the Ton caused for example by an
overload condition. In this case the software tries to restart the PFC clearing the variable
“Number Of Ton Increase” and increasing the variable “Counter Ton”. If “Counter Ton”
reaches the MAXRESTART value the status will be changed in NORESTARTTON and the
PWM will be stopped.
●
If the status of the system is OVERVOLTAGE and Vout is below MIN_VOUT, during the
ART interrupt the software restarts the PWM.
PFC Ton adjust
This routine is dedicated to the control of the Bus voltage by means of the Ton duration variable.
It is the only PFC-related routine that requires some CPU load. It is executed every 20ms and
its duration is 15 microseconds, so the CPU load is 0.075%.
The Bus voltage is scaled by a factor 0.0065 through a voltage divider. Then the A/D conversion
introduces another factor of 255/5 so to convert the Voltage bus value expressed in volts into
the value stored inside the software we can use the formula:
Vout = Vbus [ Volt ] × 0.334
rounded down to the nearest integer.
So we have the following parameters:
#define VBUS 140 // = 0.334 * VBus
#define MIN_VOUT 127
#define OVER_VOLTAGEDC 155 //
VBUS: is the target bus voltage.
OVER_VOLTAGEDC: if the bus voltage exceeds this value the firmware determine an over
voltage. In this case it stops the PWM and the PFC_STATUS will be changed in
PFCOVERVOLTAGE.
MIN_VOUT: if the voltage bus drops under this value after an over voltage, the system restarts
the PWM generation and the PFC_STATUS will be changed in PFCRUNNING.

3 Firmware description
The error is the difference between the actual value of the voltage bus (Vout) and the target
voltage (VBUS) multiplied by a factor of Kp. The error is subtracted from the actual value of the
Ton.
The value of Ton is the number of Timer B steps.
Ton is inferiorly limited to MIN_TON value and superiorly to MAX_TON. If Ton is set to the
maximum value the counter “Number Of Ton Increase” is increased by one, if this variable
reaches the value MAXTONINCREASE the system PFC status is changed into
TOOTONINCREASE and the PWM it is stopped.
Timer.c
Timer.c module is used to setup and control the generation of the PWM control signal. To
generate this signal it is used the Timer B peripheral in one pulse mode. The output pin
OCMP1_B is used as PWM control signal.
The Timer B frequency is fixed to 4 MHz so each step is 0.25µs. Ton duration sets the number
of steps in which the OCMP1_B is in high state (see Figure 9).
Figure 9.
Ton time duration of the PWM
OCMP1_B pin
Timer B block = 4 MHz
∆T=0.25 µs
Ton=4
∆T=1 µs
t
TimB_init (Ton) is used to set up the Timer B to generate the pulse. Ton sets the number of
steps of the timer in which the timer output is high.
TimB_start() is used to start the timer.
TimB_stop() is used to stop the timer.
Vector.c
TIMB_Interrupt is generated when Timer B reaches the value TBOC2R = 0x0F9B (After 1 ms
the restart of the Timer is forced using PE2) this interrupt happens only in the zero current
event it is not correctly detected for example when the input voltage it's near the 0V.
At each of this interrupt if the Ton < MIN_TON the output of the PWM is switched off this to
avoid the a too short pulse it’s generated on the gate of the mos.
Else if Ton >= MIN_TON the TBOC1R is set to (Ton - 5) to set the pulse of PWM equal to Ton
step of timer frequency (4 Mhz)

Power stage
The criteria used for the design of the power stage are extracted from the AN966 “L6561,
Enhanced Transition Mode Power Factor Corrector”. The steps followed have been to fix the
operating conditions and then to dimension the single part of the design to these.
4.1.1
●
Mains voltage range: Virms(min) Virms(max)
●
Output voltage: Vout
●
Output power: Pout
●
Minimum switching frequency: Fsw
●
Maximum output voltage ripple: ∆Vout
Power section design
Input Bridge
The input diodes bridge can use standard slow recovery, low-cost devices. The quantities to
consider will be just the input current (Irms), the maximum peak mains voltage and the thermal
data of the diodes.
Input capacitor
The input high frequency filter capacitor (Cin) has to attenuate the switching noise due to the
high frequency inductor current ripple.
High values of Cin alleviate the burden to the EMI filter but cause the power factor and the
harmonic contents of the mains current to worsen, especially at high line and light load. On the
other hand, low values of Cin improve power factor and reduce mains current distortion but
require heavier EMI filtering and increase power dissipation in the input bridge. It is up to the
designer to find the right trade-off in their application.
Output capacitor
The output bulk capacitor (Co) selection depends on the DC output voltage, the admitted over
voltage, the output power and the desired voltage ripple.
The 100 to 120Hz (twice the mains frequency) voltage ripple (∆Vout= 1/2 ripple peak-to-peak
value) is a function of the capacitor impedance and the peak capacitor current.

4 Hardware description
First, the inductance value must be defined. The inductance (L) is usually determined so that
the minimum switching frequency is greater than the minimum switching frequency that avoid
audible noise, this value it's fixed by software equal to 10kHz to ensure a correct TM operation.
Assuming unity PF, it is possible to write:
LI Lpk
T on = -----------------2V Irms
LI Lpk sin ( θ )
T off = -------------------------------------------------V out – 2V Irms sin ( θ )
So it is possible to calculate the value of the inductor as a function of the minimum switching
frequency.

POWERMOSFET
The choice of the MOSFET concerns mainly its Rds, which depends on the output power, since
the breakdown voltage is fixed just by the output voltage, plus the over voltage admitted and a
safety margin.

The boost freewheeling diode will be of a fast recovery type.
Design parameters used in this AN:
●
Input voltage: 176V..264V
