In this paper, a new family of single-stage AC/DC power factor correction converters (S2PFCC), which possesses reduced voltage stress across the storage capacitor and no extra current stress on the power switch, is proposed. The converters are realized by reduced repeated power processing concept in which part of the input power is transferred to the load directly after the first power process. This results in lower storage capacitor voltage than that of previously developed S2PFCCs but maintaining high power factor. In addition, the inherent input current control allows the load current to reduce the input line current automatically when the load becomes light, preventing excessive amount of energy being stored in the storage capacitor. Although the proposed converters employed two power switches, a simple single-loop controller for the proposed S2PFCC to achieve power factor correction (PFC) and tight output regulation is also proposed. Experimental results are reported to verify the operation and concept of the new S2PFCC.

This paper presents a new single-stage single-switched forward converter with magnetic coupled nondissipative snubber, which gives good power factor correction (PFC), low current harmonic distortion, and tight output voltage regulation. The proposed converter features low switch current and voltage stresses, essential for the design of a single-stage power factor correction converter. The prototype shows that the IEC1000-3-2 requirements are met satisfactorily with nearly unity power factor. This proposed converter with magnetic coupled nondissipative snubber is particularly suited for power supply applications with low power level.
