Abstract
This paper presents a high power factor (PF), low total harmonic distortion (THD) light-emitting diode (LED) driver with dimming capability. In addition, the proposed technique ensures a high PF and low THD at any dimming level. The driver is implemented by using an interleaved capacitor, which is placed between the rectifier and the integrated buck flyback converter (IBFC). In this way, the line current conduction angle is increased, which in return increases the PF and decreases the THD. The operation of the proposed converter ensures that one diode of the conventional IBFC will not conduct, so that it can be removed. Moreover, owing to the continuous power flow, the proposed technique makes a significant reduction of the converter output ripple. The paper presents a prototype of the proposed converter supplying an LED luminaire of 37 V/ 0.67 A. The prototype shows a high PF of 0.997, small THD of 2.5%, output current ripple of 6%, and an efficiency of 80%.
