Product details
Overview
ISL6730AFUZ from Renesas (formerly Intersil) is a continuous conduction mode (CCM) active Power Factor Correction (PFC) controller IC for boost-topology AC/DC power supplies up to 2 kW. It delivers 1.5 A peak gate drive, operates at 124 kHz switching frequency, and integrates brownout, overvoltage, overcurrent, overtemperature, and overpower protection. It enables high-efficiency PFC in universal-input desktop and laptop adapters.
For engineers reviewing the ISL6730AFUZ datasheet, ISL6730AFUZ pinout, ISL6730AFUZ application, or ISL6730AFUZ equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed operating parameters including 124 kHz switching, ±2% VREG accuracy, and 1.5 A gate drive capability - all specific to the ISL6730AFUZ variant.
Technical Context
The ISL6730AFUZ implements CCM PFC control using a current error amplifier and patented negative capacitance generation to reduce zero-crossing distortion and EMI filter size. Its VIN-sensing architecture shapes input current via a resistor divider while simultaneously enabling BO-based brownout detection and input voltage compensation.
It features fixed-frequency operation at 124 kHz (not adjustable), automatic skip mode during light load, and a clamped 12.5 V gate driver with 1.5 A source / 2 A sink capability. Protection includes cycle-by-cycle overcurrent (−177 µA threshold), input brownout (494 mV rising threshold), and thermal shutdown at 160°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switching Frequency | 124 kHz - fixed frequency for optimized EMI filtering and choke sizing in universal-input PFC stages. |
| VREG Output Voltage | 5.4 V ±2% - internally regulated supply for biasing external circuitry; supports up to 10 mA load. |
| GATE Drive Capability | 1.5 A source / 2 A sink - sufficient to drive high-side MOSFETs in 300 W–2 kW boost converters without external buffers. |
| Current Sense Threshold | −177 µA (typical) - precise cycle-by-cycle overcurrent limit referenced to ISEN pin for boost inductor protection. |
| Brownout Detection | 494 mV rising threshold on BO pin - ensures reliable shutdown during low-line conditions below ~85 VAC RMS. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +125°C - qualified for industrial and computing power supply environments with full parameter guarantees. |
| Package | 10-lead MSOP (M10.118) - compact surface-mount footprint with θJA = 136.9°C/W for thermally constrained designs. |
Pinout & Package
ISL6730AFUZ is housed in a 10-lead MSOP package (Pb-free, M10.118 drawing) with exposed pad for thermal enhancement. Pin numbering follows standard top-view orientation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 GND | Ground reference | All internal voltages and currents referenced to this node; must connect to low-impedance power ground plane. |
| 2 ISEN | Inductor current sense input | Accepts scaled current signal from shunt resistor; triggers overcurrent shutdown when ≤ −177 µA. |
| 3 ICOMP | Current error amplifier output | Drives external compensation network; sets inductor current reference amplitude in conjunction with VIN. |
| 4 VIN | Rectified line voltage sense | Provides waveform for input current shaping and feeds BO brownout circuit; requires resistor divider from bridge output. |
| 5 BO | Brownout detection & line compensation | Voltage follower of VIN divider; disables gate drive if voltage drops below 494 mV (rising) or 401 mV (falling). |
| 6 COMP | Voltage error amplifier output | Controls average input power level; clamped to 3.85 V during overpower; initiates soft-start at 1.01 V. |
| 7 FB | Output voltage feedback | Monitors divided output voltage; triggers OVP at 104.1% of 2.5 V reference; pulls down to GND if open. |
| 8 VREG | Internal 5.4 V regulator output | Stable bias rail for external components; bypass with 47 nF low-ESR capacitor; not intended as main system supply. |
| 9 VCC | Main supply input | Operates from 15–20 V; UVLO activates at 10 V (rising) with 2.5 V hysteresis; decouple with ≥0.1 µF ceramic. |
| 10 GATE | MOSFET gate driver output | Push-pull output clamped to 12.5 V; drives external N-channel MOSFET; rise/fall times ≤62 ns into 2.2 nF. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Negative capacitance generation | Reduces EMI filter size by canceling input filter capacitor phase lead; eliminates need for large pre-bridge CF2. |
| Light-load skip mode | Automatically disables switching when COMP voltage indicates low power demand; improves efficiency below 20% load. |
| Integrated protection suite | Includes cycle-by-cycle OCP, input brownout, output OVP/UVP, OTP (160°C), and average power limiting - no external ICs required. |
| Accurate current shaping | Uses VIN-sensed semi-sinusoid + ISEN feedback to achieve >0.99 PF across 85–265 VAC input and 10–100% load. |
| Robust gate driver | 12.5 V clamped output with 1.5 A source/2 A sink ensures fast MOSFET turn-on/turn-off and reduces conduction losses. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PFC controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| UCC28070DWR | Fixed-frequency CCM controller with dual-error amplifiers; 65–130 kHz programmable; no integrated negative capacitance. | Requires external compensation for EMI filter optimization; better suited for multi-output or interleaved PFC designs. | Choose UCC28070DWR when design flexibility and programmability outweigh the benefit of ISL6730AFUZ's integrated distortion reduction. |
| FAN4803SJX | CCM PFC controller with 67 kHz fixed frequency; lacks skip mode and brownout hysteresis; lower gate drive (1 A). | Targeted at cost-sensitive <150 W applications; limited thermal robustness (no OTP hysteresis or 125°C rating). | Choose FAN4803SJX only for legacy designs where ISL6730AFUZ's 124 kHz, skip mode, and extended temperature range are unnecessary. |
Compared with UCC28070DWR and FAN4803SJX, the ISL6730AFUZ offers higher integration (negative capacitance, tighter brownout thresholds, 124 kHz timing), superior light-load efficiency via skip mode, and full industrial temperature qualification - making it optimal for new 85–300 W universal-input PFC designs requiring minimal BOM count and high reliability.

FAQ
What is the switching frequency of the ISL6730AFUZ?
The ISL6730AFUZ operates at a fixed 124 kHz switching frequency across its full operating temperature range (−40°C to +125°C). This frequency is factory-trimmed and not user-adjustable; it is distinct from the ISL6730B/D variants, which operate at 62 kHz. The 124 kHz setting optimizes magnetic component sizing and EMI filter design for universal-input PFC stages up to 300 W.
Does the ISL6730AFUZ support light-load efficiency enhancement?
Yes, the ISL6730AFUZ supports automatic pulse-skipping mode during light-load conditions. When the COMP pin voltage falls below the skip threshold (1.36 V typical), the controller halts gate switching and clamps COMP to 2.0 V, reducing quiescent current and improving efficiency below 20% load. This feature is enabled by default and does not require external configuration.
What protection features are integrated into the ISL6730AFUZ?
The ISL6730AFUZ integrates six independent protection mechanisms: cycle-by-cycle overcurrent (triggered at −177 µA on ISEN), input brownout (BO pin shutdown at 494 mV), output overvoltage (FB > 104.1% of 2.5 V), overtemperature (shutdown at 160°C with 25°C hysteresis), input undervoltage lockout (VCC < 7.5 V), and average input power limiting (COMP clamped at 3.85 V). All are fully autonomous and require no external circuitry.
How is the ISL6730AFUZ brownout detection implemented?
The ISL6730AFUZ uses the BO pin as a voltage follower of the VIN resistor divider. Brownout is detected when BO voltage drops below 494 mV (rising threshold) or 401 mV (falling threshold); gate drive is disabled within microseconds. The BO pin also provides line-voltage compensation to the voltage loop, maintaining low harmonic distortion. A minimum 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor must be placed between BO and GND for ripple filtering.
What is the purpose of the negative capacitance generation feature in the ISL6730AFUZ?
The ISL6730AFUZ's patented negative capacitance generation cancels the phase-lead effect of the EMI filter's input capacitor (CF2), reducing zero-crossing distortion and allowing smaller, lower-cost EMI chokes and capacitors. This function is implemented internally using VIN, BO, and ISEN signals - no external components are needed. It directly improves displacement power factor and simplifies compliance with EN61000-3-2.
