Abstract

The main two drawbacks of the Sin91e Stage PFC (SS-PFC) converters employing a DCM Boost PFC cell are relatively high voltage stress on the bulk capacitor and the input current harmonic distortion. The high voltage stress on bulk capacitor makes the SS-PFC converter impractical in a universal input application and the input current harmonic distortion lowers power factor. In this paper a selective variable frequency control that reduces the voltage stress on the bulk capacitor and the input current harmonic distortion is proposed. Computer simulation results of the proposed control method are presented.
