Conventional Switched Mode Power Supplies(SMPS) with diode-capacitor rectifier have distorted input current waveform with high harmonic order contents. Typically, these SMPS have a power factor lower than 0,7. To improve with this problem the power factor correction(PFC) circuit of power supplies has to be introduced. Specially, to the reduce size and manufacture cost of power conversion device, the single-stage PFC converter is increased to demand as necessary of study. In this paper, comparative analysis of Valley-fill, boost and feedforward type single stage power factor correction circuit based on the flyback converter is given. Also, the validity of designed three type of single stage PFC circuit are confirmed by simulation and experimental results.
