Abstract

In this paper, a very unique boost converter system with a combination of interleaving and zero-ripple techniques for power factor correction (PFC) is proposed. The converter allows clean power in the universal ac line (90 Vac to 265 Vac) and compliance with any standards or regulations. The converter is designed in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) operation to reduce the system complexity and to eliminate diode reverse recovery loss. This can remove EMI filter without sacrificing the input current harmonics. Consequently, high density PFC converter with low cost can be achieved. Simulation results are given to validate the predicted behavior.
