Abstract
It is well known that power factor correction (PFC) circuits suffer from two fundamentally different operating modes over a given AC input cycle. These two modes, continuous conduction mode (CCM) and discontinuous conduction mode (DCM), have very different frequency-response characteristics that can make control design for PFC circuits challenging. The problem is exacerbated by attempts to improve efficiency by dynamically adjusting the PWM switching frequency based on the load. Adjusting the PWM frequency based on the load limits controller bandwidth and restricts dynamic performance. Prior work has made use of multiple controllers, however, they have not addressed the discontinuity (bump) that exists when switching between controllers. In this paper, bumpless controllers will be synthesized for a 750 watt, semi-bridgeless PFC for the CCM-DCM operating modes.
