Considerations

Due to the totem-pole topology, the PFC ground (PGND) is floating. This can lead to common-mode current issues with improper test equipment setups. Use differential voltage probes when using an oscilloscope. Use isolated sources for the 12Vp and 12V1 auxiliary supplies. TI recommends using the PMP20306 isolated bias supply reference design.
