This Application Note describes the design methodology of a Continuous Conduction Mode Power Factor Correction circuit utilizing a boost converter and featuring the IR1150S PFC IC. This application ...

Using a full-bridge extension of the boost converter, which is then controlled as a PFC converter, is one way to introduce isolation (Fig. 7). However, this adds the complexity of four transistors on ...

As more electrically-powered devices are connected to the grid, the increased distortion to the electric grid can create problems in the electrical distribution network. So, power supply designs ...

Find a downloadable version of this story in pdf format at the end of the story. Until now, it was considered impossible to have an AC-DC converter with PFC and isolation features provided in a single ...
