Novel Control Range Compensation Method in Power Factor Correction Circuit

When Power Factor Correction(PFC) boost converter is designed for the universal input range, unwanted burst operation can be found at high line and light load. This operation may cause an audible noise from the boost inductor or sensitive flicker for human eye can be found in case of the display application. In order to solve this difficulty, this paper proposes the new control range compensation method and shows the effectiveness than the conventional method thru the experimental result.
