Abstract
A variable-on-time (VOT) control scheme for a critical conduction mode (CRM) integrated buck–flyback power factor correction (PFC) converter with high power factor (PF) and low total harmonic distortion (THD) is proposed in this paper. By utilizing the input and output voltage to modulate the on-time of both buck and flyback switches, the input current harmonics can be eliminated and high PF will be obtained. The operating principles of both the conventional constant-on-time (COT) control and VOT control for the CRM buck–flyback PFC converter are analyzed. A 100-W prototype has been built and tested in the lab. The experimental results demonstrate that the THD and PF of the converter with VOT control are greatly improved compared to those with COT control.
