    Abstract: A two-stage light emitting diode (LED) driver for powering an LED load at a substantially constant current, and related methods and systems. The first or front end stage of the LED driver includes a buck topology power factor correction (PFC) circuit, the buck PFC circuit and a PFC controller. The second stage of the LED driver includes a conventional isolation and regulator circuit configured to receive the DC voltage and DC current output by the buck PFC and then to provide the substantially constant current to the LED load. By multiplying the rectified input voltage sensed by the PFC controller, the input AC current drawn by the buck PFC circuit has a much improved total harmonic distortion (THD), which is achievable without the need for using an expensive PFC controller. The rectified input voltage is multiplied using a Zener diode ladder.

The AC-DC power converter includes a high power factor correction (PFC) circuit configured in a flyback topology and operating in transition mode. The flyback PFC circuit has a PFC controller and is configured to draw an input AC current from an AC power supply. The input AC current has a first total harmonic distortion (THD). The flyback PFC circuit outputs a DC current to the load. The PFC controller is configured to sense a rectified input voltage. By multiplying the rectified input voltage sensed by the PFC controller, the input AC current drawn by the flyback PFC circuit has a second, much improved THD, which is achievable without the need of an expensive PFC controller. The rectified input voltage sensed by the PFC controller is multiplied using a Zener diode ladder.
