    摘要: A hybrid-mode power factor corrector includes a power factor correction circuit, a zero-crossing detection circuit, and a controller. The power factor correction circuit includes a power inductor and a power switch, and the zero-crossing detection circuit detects an inductor current. The controller controls the switching of the power switch by an operation frequency to control the power factor correction circuit converting an input voltage into an output voltage, and controls an input current drawn by the power factor correction circuit to follow the input voltage. The controller turns on the power switch to according to a switching time of the power switch when the power switch is switched to reach to the operation frequency and the inductor current is as low as a threshold value close to zero.

    摘要: A method of controlling a resolution of digital pulse width modulation is applied to a digital pulse width modulation generator. The method is to divide a value of a first duty clock by a value of a first pulse width modulation period clock to generate a first resolution. And then, if it is confirmed that a modulation command has been received, a second resolution is generated, and if it is confirmed that the modulation command is not received, a third resolution is generated. The second resolution is greater than the first resolution, and the second resolution is less than the third resolution.
