This paper presents a novel technique for controlling the Power Factor Correction (PFC) of a two-stage converter. The proposed solution operates the PFC in a special intermittent mode at a medium or light load. As a result, the flyback converter stage can be optimized to operate within a tight input voltage range, thus obtaining better efficiency and more compactness compared to a traditionally controlled two-stage converter. Circuit models of the converter have been developed to test the goodness of the proposed solution.

Abstract
This paper presents a novel technique for controlling the Power Factor Correction (PFC) of a two-stage converter. The proposed solution operates the PFC in a special intermittent mode at a medium or light load. As a result, the flyback converter stage can be optimized to operate within a tight input voltage range, thus obtaining better efficiency and more compactness compared to a traditionally controlled two-stage converter. Circuit models of the converter have been developed to test the goodness of the proposed solution.File in questo prodotto:
