| description | A modified forward power factor correction (PFC) converter for light-emitting-diode (LED) lighting applications is proposed in this paper. The proposed circuit topology is an integration of a forward converter and a flyback converter with a multi-windings transformer. The flyback converter is operated as an auxiliary voltage source (AVS) connected in series with the rectified ac grid voltage to achieve low harmonic current distortion and high power factor. The magnetizing inductance energy is recycled to charge the capacitor in the AVS. The commonly used constant on-time control and primary side regulation can be easily adopted to control the proposed LED driver. The operation principle of the proposed converter is presented followed by the mathematical derivation of the parameter design. An 80 W prototype converter was built and tested to verify the performance of the proposed PFC converter. Experimental results show that the proposed PFC converter can comply with the IEC 61000-3-2 standard with high efficiency, low current harmonics, and a nearly unity power factor under universal input voltage range. |
