The invention relates to the technical field of
power electronics, and discloses a regenerative passive
soft switching-Boost type PFC (
Power Factor Correction) circuit, which comprises a main
power transmission loop and a passive regenerative buffer loop. The main
power transmission loop constructs an
electric energy transmission path. In the passive regeneration buffer loop, a buffer
inductor is connected in series with a main switch tube
branch, a buffer
capacitor is connected in parallel with two ends of a main switch tube, and an auxiliary winding and a main
inductor share a
magnetic core and are connected to the circuit. According to the circuit, a buffer
inductor is used for hindering current abrupt change so as to limit the switch-on current
rise rate, a buffer
capacitor is used for hindering
voltage abrupt change so as to limit the switch-off
voltage rise rate, zero-
current switch-on and zero-
voltage switch-off of a main switch tube are achieved, and meanwhile an auxiliary winding transfers energy captured by a buffer loop in a lossless mode through magnetic
coupling and feeds the energy back to a load side. Switching loss is eliminated,
electromagnetic interference is suppressed,
active control is not needed, and circuit efficiency and reliability are improved.
