Precautions
Thank you for purchasing this product.
When using this IC, please follow the warnings and cautions given below to ensure safety.
Warning
Caution
!
!
Improper handling may result in death, serious injury, or major property damage.
Improper handling may result in minor injury or property damage.
Warning
!
This IC is intended for use in general electronic machines, such as business equipment,
communications equipment, measuring instruments, and household appliances. Do not use this IC
in medical devices, aerospace equipment, railway or other transport equipment (e.g., automobiles,
ships), nuclear power control equipment, or any other equipment required to demonstrate mission-
critical reliability or safety, or whose malfunction may directly cause injuries or endanger human
life. Contact us before using the product for any applications other than general electronic
machines.
Never attempt to repair or modify the product. Doing so may lead to serious accidents.
<<Electric shock, destruction of property, fire, or malfunctions may result.>>
In the event of a problem, an excessive voltage may arise at an output terminal, or the voltage may
drop. Anticipate these fluctuations and any consequential malfunctions or destruction and provide
adequate protection for equipment, such as overvoltage or overcurrent protection.
Check the polarity of the input and output terminals. Make sure they are properly connected before
turning on power.
<<Failure to do so may lead to failure of the protective element or generate smoke or fire.>>
Use only the specified input voltage. Deploy a protective element on the input line.
<<Problems may result in smoke or fire.>>
In the event of a malfunction or other anomaly, shut power off and contact us immediately.

Outline
MH2501SC (“master IC” hereinafter) and MH2511SC (“slave IC” hereinafter) comprise ICs for a
current-critical interleaved PFC circuit. Interleaving with master and slave ICs ensures low noise
and high efficiency, which are characteristics of current-critical PFCs, even in high power regions.
One-phase PFC can be configured using just the master IC.
