Description

technical field [0001] The embodiment of the present invention relates to a control circuit of a power supply, in particular to a power factor correction circuit, a control circuit and a control method thereof. Background technique [0002] Power Factor Correction (PFC) circuits are widely used in power conversion systems to correct the phase of current and improve power factor. figure 1 A schematic diagram of a waveform of PFC control is shown. As shown in the figure, the input voltage Vin is in the shape of steamed buns, and the input voltage is generally obtained by rectifying the sinusoidal AC signal of the mains. In order to realize PFC control, it is necessary to control the waveform of the input current Iin to follow the waveform of the input voltage Vin, so that the phase of the input current Iin is consistent with the input voltage Vin. Generally, a higher input voltage Vin corresponds to a lower average input current Iin_avg. In the switch-mode PFC circuit, the ...
