본 논문에서는 입력 전류를 정현파가 되도록 제어하기 위하여 boost 인덕터 전류의 평균값이 정현파 모양을 따라가도록 하는 평균전류 제어 방식의 PFC IC를 설계하였다. 설계된 IC는 EMI 규격에 적합하도록 75kHz의 고정주파수를 가지고 고속 제어를 위해 넓은 대역폭을 갖도록 오차 증폭기 및 전류 증폭기에 RC 보상 루프를 구성하였다. 또한 시스템 내부의 오실레이터를 이용해 구형파와 삼각파를 발생시켜 역률제어에 적합한 신호를 생성하고, UVLO, OVP, OCP, TSD의 회로를 추가하여 시스템이 안정적으로 동작이 되도록 하였다. 설계된 IC는 $1{\mu}m$ High Voltage(20V) CMOS 공정을 이용하였고, 역률보정기능과 각종 보호 회로를 검증하기 위해 Cadence의 Spectre simulator를 이용하였다.

A new single stage power factor correction(PFC) AC/DC converter based on zero voltage switching(ZVS) full bridge topology is proposed. Since the series-connected two transformers act as both output inductor and main transformer by turns, the proposed converter has a wide ZVS range without additional devices for ZVS. Furthermore, since there is no need to use an output inductor, the proposed converter features high power density. The proposed converter gives the good power factor correction and low line current harmonics distortion. A mode analysis and experiment results are presented to verify the validity of the proposed converter.

This paper presents a novel single-stage high frequency resonant DC-DC converter using zero voltage switching with high input power factor. The proposed high frequency resonant converter integrates half-bridge boost rectifier as power factor corrector (PFC) and half-bridge resonant converter into a single stage. The input stage of the half-bridge boost rectifier is working in discontinuous conduction mode(DCM) with constant duty cycle and variable switching frequency. So that a high power factor is achieved naturally. Simulation results through the Pspice have demonstrated the feasibility of the Proposed DC-DC converter. This proposed converter will be able to be practically used as a power supply in various fields as induction heating applications, DC-DC converter etc.

Hold-up time is a special requirement for the front end DC/DC converter in a server power supply. It forces the converter with the variable switching frequency to operate in a wide switching frequency range, which makes the regulation difficult and reduces the power density. In this paper a novel frequency controlled half bridge converter with the hold-up time extension circuit is proposed. During the hold-up time, the auxiliary switches are turned on, thus the resonant inductance is reduced and the voltage conversion ratio is increased. Therefore, the output capacitor of the power factor correction (PFC) circuit can be decreased, and the converter can have high power density. The proposed converter is verified by experimental results from a prototype with 700W, 400V input, and 12V output.

A novel zero-voltage-transition (ZVT) isolated PWM boost converter for single stage power factor correction (PFC) is presented to improve the performance of the previously presented ZVT converter[8]. A simple auxiliary circuit which includes only one active switch provides zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) condition to all semiconductor devices. (Two active switches are required for the previous ZVT converter) This leads to reduced cost and simplified control circuit comparing to the previous ZVT converter. The ZVS is achieved for wide line and load ranges with minimum device voltage and current stresses. Operation principle, control strategy and features of the proposed converter are presented and verified by the experimental results from a 1.5 kW, 100 KHz laboratory prototype.

This study introduces a novel Soft Switching (SS) Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) AC-DC boost converter. In the proposed converter, the main switch is turned on with Zero Voltage Transition (ZVT) and turned off with Zero Current Transition (ZCT). The main diode is turned on with Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS) and turned off with Zero Current Switching (ZCS). The auxiliary switch is turned on and off with ZCS. All auxiliary semiconductor devices are turned on and off with SS. There is no extra current or voltage stress on the main semiconductor devices. The majority of switching energies are transferred to the output by auxiliary transformer. Thus, the current stress of auxiliary switch is significantly reduced. Besides, the proposed converter has simple structure and ease of control due to common ground. The theoretical analysis of the proposed converter is verified by a prototype with 100 kHz switching frequency and 500 W output power. Furthermore, the efficiency of the proposed converter is 98.9% at nominal output power.

The topology of LLC half bridge resonant converter provides ZVS characteristic. The voltage stress and current stress are smaller than that of the general resonant converters. So the LLC HB resonant converter can be considered as a optimal circuit for the notebook computer adapter. In the adapter design, we should consider the weight, the size and the overheat of the adapter. Thus the higher efficiency is an essential particular. First of all, the optimal design of transformer is the most important facts. Some parameters should be considered in order to get the highest efficiency. The adapter is designed through the considering of these parameters including the PFC circuit as the pre-regulator. It converts AC line input into about DC 390V link voltage of the LLC HB converter input and the converter has 16V/90W ratings. The efficiency measured is about up to 93%.

A new low conduction loss, low cost zero-voltage-transition power factor correction circuit(PFC) is presented. Conventional PFC which consists of a bridge diode and a boost converter(one switch) always has three semiconductor conduction drops. Two switch type PFCs reduces conduction loss by reducing one conduction drop but the cost is increased because of increased number of active switches. The proposed PFC reduces conduction loss with one switch, which allows low cost. Conduction loss improvement is a little bit less than that of two switch type, but very close up. Operation and features are comparatively illustrated and verified by simulation and experimental results of 1 kW laboratory prototype.
