High Power Two-Phase Digital Power Factor Correction
● Overview:
■ This reference designbuilds upon IXYS Corporation's Digital Power Control technology and extends it to high power levels in the area of Power Factor Correction (PFC). It introduces fast switching, high current, high voltage X2-class MOSFETs and incorporates Digital Inrush Current Control concepts (IXYS reference designs IXRD1001 and IXRD1002). Functional control is based upon Zilog's 8-bit Z8F6481 microcontroller, a member of the Z8 Encore! XP F6482 Series of MCUs.
■ High power (1 kW and above) AC to DC converters with active PFC are designed to solve specific issues arising at high power, including the following:
◆ Decrease high current ripples at PFC switching frequency in the input power line
◆ Maintain fast low-loss transfer of high inductor's current from the switching device to the load
◆ Provide efficient conversion in a wide load range
◆ Decrease high frequency electromagnetic interference (EMI) caused by PFC switching devices operating at high current and voltage
◆ Decrease EMI caused by oscillations in the inductor during discontinuous mode at low load that are a result of transforming energy stored in stray capacitance/inductance
◆ Design a low loss high frequency inductor to store and efficiently pump energy into the output bulk capacitor
◆ Develop a robust current-balancing technology for polyphase PFC topology to reduce current ripples in the input power line
◆ Create overload and overvoltage protections to ensure reliable performance in unexpected situations for the end-user
