This study introduces an innovative design for a totem-pole power factor correction (PFC) circuit that integrates interleaved coupled inductors and operates in a discontinuous conduction mode (DCM). The primary objective is to enhance the power density and efficiency of the PFC circuit, which is traditionally challenged by the hard-switching losses in continuous conduction mode (CCM). The proposed design leverages the capability of DCM to achieve zero current switching (ZCS) for each MOSFET, thereby reducing switching losses and enabling a higher power density akin to CCM operation. The interleaved configuration of the coupled inductors facilitates rapid current commutation, effectively halving the operating frequency of each branch and achieving improved current sharing. The efficacy of this design is substantiated through a 2 kW simulation model, demonstrating a total harmonic distortion (THD) of 4.87%, indicative of high power factor performance.

摘要

This study introduces an innovative design for a totem-pole power factor correction (PFC) circuit that integrates interleaved coupled inductors and operates in a discontinuous conduction mode (DCM). The primary objective is to enhance the power density and efficiency of the PFC circuit, which is traditionally challenged by the hard-switching losses in continuous conduction mode (CCM). The proposed design leverages the capability of DCM to achieve zero current switching (ZCS) for each MOSFET, thereby reducing switching losses and enabling a higher power density akin to CCM operation. The interleaved configuration of the coupled inductors facilitates rapid current commutation, effectively halving the operating frequency of each branch and achieving improved current sharing. The efficacy of this design is substantiated through a 2 kW simulation model, demonstrating a total harmonic distortion (THD) of 4.87%, indicative of high power factor performance.
