Abstract :
This article presents a general analysis of several integrated topologies with high power factor in supplying metal halide (MH) lamps. The analyzed topologies that provide power-factor correction (PFC) are buck, boost, buck-boost, flyback, sepic, and zeta converters. The design methodology employed to calculate the circuit parameters and the simulation results are also presented.
