ABSTRACT:
Constant
duty cycle controlled discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) flyback power factor correction
(PFC) converter has the advantage of high power factor (PF) and the
disadvantage of low efficiency. While, constant on-time (COT) controlled critical
conduction mode (CRM) flyback PFC converter has the exact opposite features,
besides its switching frequency varies in a line cycle, and the variation range
is very large, which complicates the electromagnetic interference (EMI) design.
In order to obtain both benefits of these two control methods, an adaptive
off-time (AOT) control technique for DCM flyback PFC converter is proposed in
this paper. By utilizing the output voltage and the amplitude of line voltage
to adjust the off-time of the main switch, the magnetizing current of
transformer exactly operates in CRM when the rectified input voltage gets the
peak. Thus, the root-mean-square (RMS) current of the main switch and the
diode, as well as the conduction loss can be effectively reduced, and high efficiency
can be obtained. The proposed control technique also can achieve theoretical
unity PF over universal input voltage range of 90_264VAC. Moreover, its
variation range of switching frequency is greatly reduced compared to that of COT
control. A 60W prototype has been fabricated and tested in the laboratory and
experimental results are presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed
method.

CONCLUSION:
This
paper proposes an adaptive off-time controlled DCM flyback PFC converter.
According to the output voltage and the amplitude of line voltage, the proposed
controller adaptively adjusts the off-time of the main switch, so that the magnetizing
current of the transformer can exactly operate in CRM. This operation mode can
effectively reduce the conduction loss of the main switch and increase efficiency,
and on the other hand, similar with constant duty cycle control, the duty cycle
and the switch period of AOT control remains fixed during each line cycle,
therefore, theoretical unity PF and sinusoidal input current can be also
obtained over universal input voltage range. Moreover, the variation range of
the switching frequency of AOT control strategy is greatly narrowed compared to
that of COT control, which will bring potential convenience in the input filter
design. A 60W experimental prototype has been built to verify the theoretical
analysis. Experimental results show the minimal PF of AOT control and constant
duty cycle control is 0.994, which is significantly higher the minimal PF 0.92
of COT control, and the highest efficiency of AOT control and COT control is
87.6%, which is obviously higher than the highest efficiency 86.5% of constant
duty cycle control.
