Abstract
A novel power-factor-correction (PFC) circuit is proposed which is constructed with one stage by using a single forward converter. This PFC circuit has functions of high power factor and suppression of the output voltage ripple. The high power factor is accomplished by making the PFC circuit operate in the discontinuous conduction mode and the suppression of the output voltage ripple by using the exciting energy of the transformer in the forward converter
