Single-phase power factor correction (PFC) circuits—a kind of front-end AC/DC converters—are ubiquitous in a variety of consumer electronic devices, including laptop adapters, LED driver power ...

Researchers develop a sensorless boost PFC method delivering near 0.9998 power factor and low distortion, enabling smaller and more reliable power supplies for consumer electronics. Single-phase power ...

An onboard charger converts power between the power grid and electric vehicles or hybrid electric vehicles. Traditional systems use two stages of power conversion: a boost converter to implement unity ...

The difference between a controller and converter design. Why you want to use a controller versus a converter design. It’s become trendy to multiphase or stack devices as power requirements across ...

Ideally, the power factor should be 1; then the load appears as a resistor to the AC source. However, in the real world, electrical loads not only cause distortions in AC current waveforms, but also ...
