Overview

The CS1601 and CS1601H are digital power factor correction (PFC) controllers designed to deliver the lowest PFC system cost in electronic ballast applications. The controller operates in a variable frequency discontinuous conduction mode (VF-DCM) with zero-current switching optimized to deliver best-inclass THD and minimize the size and cost of magnetic components. The CS1601 operates at switching frequencies of up to 70kHz, and the CS1601H operates at frequencies of up to 100kHz.
