4-kW single-phase totem pole PFC reference design with C2000 and GaN

Description

This reference design is a 4-kW CCM totem-pole PFC with F280049/F280025 control card and LMG342x EVM board. This design demos a robust PFC solution: which avoids isolated current sense by putting the controller's ground in the middle of a MOSFET leg. Benefitting from non-isolation: AC current sense can be implemented by high-speed amplifier OPA607: helping to realize reliable over-current protection. In this design: efficiency: thermal image: AC drop: lighting surge and EMI CE are fully validated. With completed test data: this reference design shows the maturity of totem-pole PFC with C2000 and GaN and is a good study platform for high efficiency products' PFC stage design.
