Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of switching power supply control, and in particular to a control method, a controller, a chip and a circuit for a PFC circuit. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of power electronics technology, switching power supplies are widely used in electronic equipment with the characteristics of small size, light weight and high efficiency. They are an indispensable power supply mode for the rapid development of today's electronic information industry. However, these advantages are also accompanied by some negative effects, especially the harmonic pollution and reactive power increase of the power grid caused by the distortion of non-sinusoidal current waveform. At present, according to industry standards, capacitive load electrical equipment with power greater than 75W must add power factor correction (PFC) circuits to correct the power factor of the electrical equipment, so that the AC line current tracks the instantaneous change trajectory of the voltage waveform, and keeps the current and voltage in phase so that the system presents a pure resistive characteristic, thereby reducing the harmonic pollution and reactive power of the power grid caused by the distortion of non-sinusoidal current waveform, and improving the overall efficiency of the power system.

[0003] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, BOOST PFC circuit is a commonly used topology structure, which is used to improve the power factor of the power supply and reduce harmonic distortion. It is widely used in small and medium power occasions due to its simple structure and convenient control. Figure 2d As shown in the figure, in the CRM mode of the BOOST PFC circuit, the inductor current rises from zero to the peak value in each switching cycle, and then returns to zero. This mode makes the switching frequency change with the input voltage and load. At the same time, the inductor current has a reverse part in each cycle, which helps to achieve soft switching ZVS (zero voltage switching), thereby reducing the switching loss of the switching device and improving efficiency. However, in the CRM mode, the negative current part will offset part of the forward current, resulting in the actual input current being less than the expected value, and the total input current waveform no longer presents a perfect sine wave, that is, a non-sinusoidal wave, and the total harmonic distortion (THD) of the system increases, resulting in a decrease in the system power factor.

Although the quantization ratio is relatively fixed, the value of the compensation coefficient k is mainly related to the input equivalent capacitance. When the input capacitance is larger, the value of the compensation coefficient k should be larger.
