What Drives the PFC Market?
 Some energy is delivered but not used due to bad PF
 Consumers
 Some consumers are charged for energy they don’t use
 Power utilities
 Need to cover consumers who are not charged for bad PF
 Need to compensate by over-sizing:
– Distribution lines, Transformers, Energy production
 Harmonics can disrupt other consumers
 Government regulations

Why Power Factor < 1 is bad?
 Reactive energy is not used to produce real power
 Utilities need to compensate by over sizing:
 Distribution lines
 Transformers
 Energy production
 Harmonic distortion can disrupt other consumers

Power Factor Correction Methodologies
 Passive PFC
 Passive components to compensate for reactive energy loss
 Active PFC
 Active components to drive solid state switches with PWM
signals in combination with passive reactive components such as
inductors

Passive Power Factor Correction
 Passive PFC
 Control harmonic current using filter
 Expensive large high-current inductor
 No automatic adjustment for wider AC input power
 DC output varies with AC input voltage
17
© 2012 Renesas Electronics America Inc. All rights reserved.
Active Power Factor Correction
 Active PFC
 Input current is controlled to follow the shape and phase of
input AC voltage
Q
 Transistor Q is switched ON/OFF at a PWM rate
 Most common configuration – Boost converter
 Efficiency is affected by Q switching losses and diode recovery

Active PFC Topologies
 Critical Conduction Mode (CRM)
Rectified, unfiltered
AC voltage
Inductor ripple current
Average AC current
Q
 Q switched on when inductor current reaches zero
 Inductor ripple current - High
 Low power applications
 No recovery loss through diode

Active PFC Topologies
 Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM)
Rectified, unfiltered
AC voltage
Inductor ripple current
Average AC current
Q
 Q switched on before the inductor current reaches zero
 Inductor ripple current – Low
 High power applications
 Recovery loss through the diode

Advantages of Interleaving
 Reduced current ripple
 Size and number of input filters can be reduced
 Size of inductors, capacitor, switching devices can be reduced
 Overall efficiency is increased
24
© 2012 Renesas Electronics America Inc. All rights reserved.
Interleaved PFC Versus Single Channel
 Single channel
 Inductor ripple current affects size of:
– Inductor, Bulk Capacitor and input EMI filter
 High current through IGBT/MOSFET cause conduction losses
 Two channel interleaved
 Two sets of smaller and less expensive components:
– Inductor, Diode, Capacitor and IGBT/MOSFET
 180° out of phase switching
– Inductor ripple currents cancel out each other
– Further reduction in bulk capacitor size and EMI filter
 Better efficiency due to reduced conduction losses
 Multiple interleaving can further reduce the size of components
