L4985A/B and L4986A/B power-factor correction (PFC) boost converters from ST integrate 800V startup circuitry and additional valuable proprietary features. The built-in high-voltage startup capability saves auxiliary circuitry, allowing a “no aux” design that reduces bill-of-materials costs and ensures reliable starting. These circuits also include internal logic to safely discharge input-filter X capacitors when the AC …
