Fairchild Semiconductor has introduced the FAN9612 two-phase BCM (boundary-conduction-mode) PFC (power-factor-correction) controller for 100 to 1000W power systems. Driving external, high-voltage FETs, the device can realize efficiencies of 96% and targets use in two-phase, interleaved PFC control. Dual-phase operation improves efficiency and allows you to reduce the input filter size by 10%.

BCM represents the precise transition point between CCM (continuous-conduction mode) and DCM (discontinuous-conduction mode). In CCM, the PFC inductors continuously carry current; in DCM, the inductors "run dry"--that is, go to zero current--for part of the …
