一种具有正输出电压的无桥CUK PFC变换器

The output voltage of the traditional CUK PFC converter is negative, and an additional inverting amplifier circuit is needed, which increases the volume and cost of the converter. A new type of bridgeless CUK PFC converter topology is proposed in this paper, which makes the converter have a positive output voltage without the need of an additional inverting amplifier circuit, and has the advantages of simple control, high efficiency, and low cost. Through topology optimization, one input capacitor is reduced, and the two diodes are converted from the high-current working state of high frequency to low-current working state of power frequency, ordinary rectifier diodes can be selected instead of fast recovery diodes, thereby reducing the volume and cost of the converter. The converter works in DCM, so no current control loop is required, which simplifies the control circuit. In addition, the main switch is turned on under ZVS condition, and the output diode is turned off under ZCS condition, which reduces the switching loss and improves the efficiency of the converter. A simulation model was built in PSIM, and a prototype with a rated power of 150 W was fabricated to verify the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed converter. Experimental results show that the PF of the proposed converter is 0.995 7, and the input current THD is 3.78% under rated input conditions.
