Abstract
In this paper, a digital-based pulse train (PT) control technique for a boost power factor correction (PFC) converter operating in a discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) is presented, which can achieve nearly unity power factor (PF) over a universal input voltage range. Different from traditional digital control techniques, which usually require complex arithmetic operations, the digital-based PT control technique only needs a simple operation. Besides, a DCM boost PFC converter with digital PT control can operate at a high switching frequency, which is less dependent on the processing speed of a digital controller. Thus, the proposed control strategy can be implemented with general purpose digital controllers, such as low-speed and low-cost microcontroller unit, for the DCM boost PFC converter where the cost is a focus. The operation principle of the digital PT controlled DCM boost PFC converter is analyzed. Experimental results are provided, which show that high PF and low input current total harmonic distortion can be maintained over a universal input voltage range of 90–264 V ac.
