Abstract

A control circuit for a discontinuous conduction mode power factor correction converter using harmonic modulation includes: a first difference circuit configured to calculate and output a difference between an output voltage of a discontinuous conduction mode power factor correction converter and a reference voltage; a PI converter configured to perform a proportional integral control on an output signal of the first difference circuit, and output a signal having an arbitrary duty ratio; a second difference circuit configured to output a difference between a rectified input voltage, which is input to the discontinuous conduction mode power factor correction converter, and a harmonic modulation factor DC voltage; and a multiplication circuit configured to multiply an output of the PI controller and an output of the second difference circuit, and output a PFC control signal to a switch of the discontinuous conduction mode power factor correction converter.

Claims (8)

1. A control circuit for a discontinuous conduction mode power factor correction converter using harmonic modulation, comprising:

a first difference circuit configured to calculate and output a difference between an output voltage of a discontinuous conduction mode power factor correction converter and a reference voltage;

a PI converter configured to perform a proportional integral control on an output signal of the first difference circuit, and output a signal having an arbitrary duty ratio;

a second difference circuit configured to output a difference between a rectified input voltage, which is input to the discontinuous conduction mode power factor correction converter, and a harmonic modulation factor DC voltage; and

a multiplication circuit configured to multiply an output of the PI controller and an output of the second difference circuit, and output a PFC control signal to a switch of the discontinuous conduction mode power factor correction converter.

2. The control circuit of claim 1 , wherein a magnitude of the harmonic modulation factor DC voltage is 1+K/2 (where K is a maximum value of a magnitude of the rectified input voltage).

3. The control circuit of claim 2 , wherein the output of the second difference circuit has a value in a range from 1−K/2 to 1+K/2.

4. The control circuit of claim 1 , wherein the PFC control signal is a result value to which a duty ratio of the output of the PI controller and a harmonic modulation factor of the output of the second difference circuit are reflected.
