Abstract

The boundary conduction mode (BCM) totem-pole boost power factor correction (PFC) topology is becoming popular in high-efficiency and high power density applications because of its advantages of fewer devices and low conduction losses. The ideal design methodology for the BCM boost converter ignores the reverse recovery of mosfet s’ body diode and the resonance between the inductance and output junction capacitances of switches. However, as the switching frequency increases, these two factors affect the peak value of the inductance current and the switching frequency significantly, which are critical parameters for the boost PFC inductor design. In order to calculate the practical peak current and switching frequency range accurately, this letter proposes an analytical reverse recovery model of the body diode and presents accurate switching cycle operating modes. Either the predicted inductance peak current or the switching frequency range matches the measured result on a 600-W totem-pole boost PFC prototype.
