Power factor correction (PFC) module operating in discontinuous current mode (DCM), system containing the PFC module and methods of operating therefor
Abstract:
A PFC module is disclosed and contains an actively clocked PFC circuit (104) comprising at least one controlled switch (S1), and an integrated circuit (103) as a control unit which controls during a half-wave of the input voltage(Vin)of the actively clocked PFC circuit (104) the at least one switch(S1) of the actively clocked PFC circuit (104) with a fixed operating frequency in discontinuous current mode(DCM) The integrated circuit (103) sets the switch-on time (ton) of the at least, one switch (S1)dependent on the amplitude of the input voltage (VIN) of the actively clocked. PFC circuit (104), and keeps constant the switch-on time (ton) for at least two consecutive switching cycles within the half-wave of the input voltage (VIN), Also disclosed are a system containing the PFC module and a method for operating the PFC module.
