Abstract
A single-Stage power factor corrected power supply using a
two-switch forward is proposed to increase efficiency. The
converter is operated in the DCM (Discontinues Conduction Mode).
This will insure the intermediate DC-bus to be controlled only by
means of circuit parameters and therefore independent of load
variations. The DCM operation often has a diminishing effect on
the efficiency. It will be shown that high efficiency and minimum
circuit complexity can be achieved with the proposed topology even
though operated in the DCM.A 500W 70V prototype of the proposed
two-switch Boost-Forward PFC power supply has been implemented.
The measured efficiency and power factor are about 87% and 0.96
respectively.
