This paper presents a simplified approach to the design of a PWM-DCM boost Power Factor Preregulator. Using a simplified equation which represents a good approximation of the original equation makes it simpler to determine the inductance value as well as to obtain a representative smallsignal model for the converter. The approach is validated by simulation and experimentation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
