Abstract

A single-stage single-switch power-factor-correction (PFC) AC/DC converter with universal input is presented in this paper. The PFC can be achieved based upon the charge-pump concept, and the PFC stage operates in the continuous current mode (CCM). The switch has less current and voltage stresses over a wide range of load variation so that a low-voltage rating device can be used. The presented converter features high power factor, high efficiency, and low cost. An 80-W prototype was implemented to show that it has 85% efficiency with low-voltage stress from 0.5% to 100% load variation over universal line input
