PRODUCT SPECIFICATION
Off-line Start-up and Bias Supply Generation
The circuit in Figure 11 supplies VCC power to the ML4821.
Start-up current is delivered via R10. The IC starts when
VCC reaches 15.5V. After that time running power is
delivered through the tap on L1. The configuration shown
delivers a voltage proportional to the PFC output bus
voltage.
