Single phase universal input PFC converter operating at HF

Single-phase ac to dc converters for computers and related applications have requirements that are difficult to meet while achieving both high power density and high efficiency: wide input voltage range, large voltage step down, galvanic isolation, harmonic current limits and hold-up requirements.

description Single-phase ac to dc converters for computers and related applications have requirements that are difficult to meet while achieving both high power density and high efficiency: wide input voltage range, large voltage step down, galvanic isolation, harmonic current limits and hold-up requirements. This work explores a circuit architecture and topology that seeks to address this challenge, and presents a 250 W, 24 V output, universal input PFC converter prototype achieving 34.9 W/in3. The converter operates at variable switching frequencies in the range of 1-4 MHz; the measured efficiency at 230 Vac RMS, 60 Hz input is 95.33% at full load and 84.57% at 8% load.
