Abstract:
This document discusses, among other things, an improved bridgeless power factor correction (PFC) circuit. In an example, the PFC circuit can include a first switch and a control circuit, the control circuit configured to provide a switching cycle, to generate a carrier signal corresponding to the switching cycle, and to generate a control signal for the first switch during the switching cycle. In an example, the control circuit can receive a first signal indicative of current through the first switch and generate a duty cycle for the first switch using a comparison of the first signal and the carrier signal. In an example, the control circuit can initiate the carrier signal at the beginning of the switching cycle and provide a carrier signal duration corresponding to a fraction of a duration of the switching cycle of the PFC circuit (e.g., one-half, one-third, etc.).
