  • Abstract
    A simple design for the control circuit of a unity-power-factor boost pre-regulator is presented. The controller operates in continuous conduction mode and avoids the use of an analogue multiplier and the sensing of the line voltage. The proposed circuit is an interesting solution when high-efficiency and low-cost control circuitry are required.
