Abstract
In this article, a high-power-density off-line light-emitting diode (LED) driver is proposed. The proposed ac–dc driver is the novel integrated buck and boost converter (IBBC). Besides the high-power-density, the converter shows a high power factor (PF), and a low total harmonic distortion (THD). The IBBC is a two-stage driver that features just one controlled switch, which leads to high PF and low THD operation ensuring high efficiency, and size and cost reduction. Moreover, the switch current is minimized as it conducts the higher of the buck or boost converter, but not the addition of both as in other integrated converters. Moreover, for a further increase of the power-density, a magnetic integration is made by integrating the two inductors of both the buck and boost converters in one core. Thus, the proposed converter has been named as fully integrated buck and boost converter (FIBBC). In this paper, the IBBC is analyzed, and a design methodology is proposed. Also, this article presents a magnetic analysis of the novel FIBBC. In addition, a comparison between two prototypes is presented, one for the IBBC and another for the FIBBC, both of them supplying an LED luminaire of 46 V/ 0.575 A. The FIBBC shows a high PF equal to 0.994, very small THD of 10%, output current ripple of 6%, and efficiency of 92.62%, which represents a landmark on the efficiency of integrated converters.
