- Abstract
A novel control method for the critical conduction mode (CRM) power factor correction (PFC) converter is presented, which reduces the size of the boost inductor in the system with wide input-voltage range and improves the efficiency of the system with low input voltage. By introducing the following boost circuit, the output voltage in the application circuit varies with the input root mean square (RMS) voltage to reduce the demand for the large size of the inductor and the efficiency of the system keeps high under the low input voltage. A novel CRM PFC control system with smaller size inductor and higher efficiency is achieved by applied the following boost method to the core control circuits. Experiment results show that the inductance value of the boost inductor is 430 μH using the presented PFC control system and 700 μH using the traditional PFC control system when the input voltage varies from 85 V to 265 V. The novel control method decreases the inductor's value at 38.2%, and the efficiency of the system improves at 1.62% under the input voltage of 85 V.
