Analysis and design of a low-stress buck-boost converter in universal-input PFC applications

Jingquan Chen, Maksimovic, D., Erickson, R.W.·2006·IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics

Abstract

In converters for power-factor-correction (PFC), the universal-input capability, i.e., the ability to operate from any ac line voltage world-wide, comes with a heavy penalty in terms of component stresses and losses, and with restrictions on the dc output voltage. In this paper, we propose a new two-switch topology, boost-interleaved buck-boost (BoIBB) converter, which can offer significant performance improvements over single-switch buck-boost converters (including flyback, SEPIC, or Cuk topologies) or other two-switch buck-boost converters in universal-input PFC applications. The paper presents an analysis of the converter operation and component stresses, as well as design guidelines. High efficiency (over 93%) throughout the universal-input ac line voltage range is demonstrated on an experimental 100-W, 200-V dc output, universal-input BOIBB PFC rectifier.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
