Abstract :
This paper analyzes the zero voltage transition boost power converter for power factor correction and presents a method for optimal component selection. A complete circuit is shown featuring a new specifically designed control IC. Practical design issues are discussed and a design procedure is presented. Critical circuit waveforms are shown, and performance with and without zero voltage transitions are compared
