THD optimizer circuit
The L6563S is provided with a special circuit that reduces the conduction dead-angle 
occurring to the AC input current near the zero-crossings of the line voltage (crossover 
distortion). In this way the THD (total harmonic distortion) of the current is considerably 
reduced.
A major cause of this distortion is the inability of the system to transfer energy effectively 
when the instantaneous line voltage is very low. This effect is magnified by the high-
frequency filter capacitor placed after the bridge rectifier, which retains some residual 
voltage that causes the diodes of the bridge rectifier to be reverse-biased and the input 
current flow to temporarily stop. 
To overcome this issue the device forces the PFC pre-regulator to process more energy 
near the line voltage zero-crossings as compared to that commanded by the control loop. 
This will result in both minimizing the time interval where energy transfer is lacking and fully 
discharging the high-frequency filter capacitor after the bridge. 
 shows the internal block diagram of the THD optimizer circuit.
