Abstract

In this paper, a method is proposed to improve power factor and the input current THD in LED driver circuit. The researched circuit consists of a valley-fill circuit and boosting inductor and a Buck converter. Valley-fill circuit is a passive PFC and simplified structure, the buck converter is operated with current feedback. The switching frequency is 50KHz in LED driver circuit and LED forward current is constant. A valley-fill type PFC circuit for LED driver(15Watt) has been implemented, and the validity of proposed method is shown by is simulation and experimental result.
