STMicroelectronics’ L4985A/B and L4986A/B power-factor correction (PFC) boost converters look to simplify design and enhance flexibility by integrating 800V startup circuitry and additional valuable ...

Over the past few years there has been a big push by some environmental agencies to have off-line ac-dc power converters include power-factor correction (PFC). It started with the European Union's ...

This circuit provides latching and high-speed overcurrent protection for power-factor corrected (PFC) boost converters operating at dc voltages to 380 V. Overcurrent damage of PFC front-end boost ...

This Application Note describes the design methodology of a Continuous Conduction Mode Power Factor Correction circuit utilizing a boost converter and featuring the IR1150S PFC IC. This application ...

International Rectifier has announced its first lighting IC that integrates power factor correction (PFC) and ballast control in an 8-pin SO-8 package. The IRS2580DS Combo8 includes a boost converter ...

The definition of power factor (PF) is the ratio of the power drawn from the power grid (apparent power) to the power actually consumed in the load (real power). A power factor of ‘1.0’ is defined as ...

In this paper, the authors deal with a hybrid converter topology Power Factor Correction (PFC) for DC drives which is fed through a diode bridge rectifier from a single phase AC mains. In this paper, ...

International Rectifier has introduced what it claims to be the industry's first IC to integrate power factor correction (PFC) and ballast control in a single 8pin SO-8 package. The IRS2580DS Combo8 ...
