Abstract

The objective of this paper is to present a simple yet accurate implementation of a resistor-emulator-type line-current-shaping controller for high-power-factor operation of a flyback rectifier. The important feature is that input voltage sensing is not required. In the circuit realization of the controller, no multiplier is used. Current shaping is performed directly on the input filter inductor current. The modulator uses only one reset integrator for the generation of duty ratio. The analysis presented in this paper shows the effect of input filter capacitance on discontinuous conduction mode of operation of the flyback inductor. Design equations for selection of the input filter components are derived. A low-frequency small-signal model of the rectifier is developed and verified by measurement up to 1 kHz. The performance of the controller is first tested by the SABER circuit simulator package. Then, a 100-W 110-V AC input 50-V DC output single-phase flyback rectifier prototype is built for experimental verification.
