- Output conversion rate: Fast, Normal, Slow. Users can adjust APFC parameters based on load characteristics to obtain appropriate setup time or stability
- Fast mode may produce significant overshoot under different range or load conditions. It is recommended to use normal or slow mode for overshoot sensitive devices
