In one embodiment, the controller includes: (1) a modulator, coupled to a switch in the power factor correction circuit, that senses an electrical characteristic and a current passing through the power factor correction circuit and provides, in response thereto, a control signal to the switch and (2) a compensation circuit, coupled to an input of the power factor correction circuit, that provides a compensation signal to the modulator that is a function of a rectified line voltage provided to the input of the power factor correction circuit. The compensation signal causes the modulator to modify the control signal to reduce a total harmonic distortion (THD) of the power factor correction circuit.

    摘要: A boost converter includes a snubber with finite but limited losses to minimize active power switching losses and minimize turn-off losses of the boost diode without generating any additional circulating energy losses. An inductor is connected so as to slow turn off of the boost diode and minimize reverse recovery losses. This inductor additionally minimizes the turn-on switching losses of the active power switch of the converter by providing for zero-current turn-on. A series connection of a finite resistor and a second diode is connected in shunt with the inductor/boost diode connection to prevent excessive voltage ringing across the active power switch by clamping its voltage during turn-off. A third diode is connected to the junction of the inductor and boost diode to prevent the voltage across the boost diode from ringing during the on interval of the active power switch.

    摘要: An estimating circuit for application in estimating or deriving the value V.sub.rms.sup.2 or V.sub.peak.sup.2, of a line voltage V.sub.AC provides fast response time and a substantially ripple free value for these signals by the utilization of a controlled harmonic oscillator whose output precisely tracks the input voltage waveform. Two out of phase (by .pi./2) sine wave signals are derived from the input sine wave and these two out of phase signals are squared and summed to derive or estimate the desired square of the sine waveform signal at a fast response time while substantially excluding ripple of the estimated out of phase sine waves. An estimating circuit, described herein, comprises two integrator circuits series connected into a substantially closed loop. The output of the second integrator circuit is fed back to the input of the first integrator circuit. The output of each individual integrator circuit is a voltage sine wave separated in phase from the output of the other integrator by .pi./2 and in synchronism with the input substantially sine wave voltage V.sub.AC. The output of each of the integrator circuits is squared in an associated squaring circuit. Each output of one of the two squaring circuits is summed with the output of the other squaring circuit to produce the desired value of V.sub.peak.sup.2 or V.sub.rms.sup.2.

    摘要: A power factor control system for a rectifier is operative through the generation of estimators of control input parameters (a peak squared input AC voltage E.sub.m.sup.2 and load power) and by the use of these substantially ripple free signals controls a boost, buck, buck-boost, SEPIC or other related type converter at the input to the rectifier. The generation of these parameters allows the derivation of a programmed current i.sub.p used to control the wave form of the actual input current. The control procedure is based on a quarter cycle averaged power basis. The input power is derived from the rms values of the input voltage and current. Given the output power and its deviations in power due to load changes, the programmed current i.sub.p is determined by deriving an input conductance of the rectifier and combining it with the input voltage.

    摘要: A converter for enhancing power factor utilizes a line sense winding magnetically coupled to sense a voltage across a line inductor in the input of a high power factor power converter. This winding in the illustrative embodiment is typically a single turn. This winding provides a measurement of the derivative (with respect to time) of the line current, and a specially designed integrator connected to the winding provides the estimate of the line current. An integrator is operative to accurately estimate the current by using known properties of this current to prevent mismeasurement due to reconstructing the "constant of integration" and any small biases in the integrator which normally cause errors.
