Abstract

Interleaved multichannel power factor correction (PFC) converter is very popular today because of its ability to reduce input and output current ripples. In this paper, the common-mode (CM) electromagnetic interference noise emission model of the multichannel PFC converter is studied. A balance technique is introduced to reduce CM noise emission. To improve the high-frequency balance, a novel topology with coupled-inductor structure is proposed. Its CM noise model is derived and balance condition for minimizing CM noise is calculated. A two-channel PFC converter is built to verify the proposed balance technique. Simulation results show that CM noise can be reduced up to 20 dB between 150 kHz and 1 MHz.
