Abstract

This paper presents the design considerations and analysis for an interleaved boundary conduction mode power factor correction buck converter. A thorough analysis of the harmonic content of the AC line current is presented to examine the allowable voltage gain (K value) for meeting the EN61000-3-2, Class D standard while maximizing efficiency. The results of the harmonic analysis are used to derive the required value of K and therefore the output voltage necessary to meet the class D requirements for a given AC line voltage. The discussed design consideration and harmonic current analysis are verified on a 300W universal line experimental prototype converter with an 80V output. The measured efficiencies remain above 96% down to 20% of the full load. The input current harmonics also meet the IEC61000-3-2 (class D) standard.
