Self-Excited Single-Stage Power Factor Correction Driving Circuit for LED Lighting

Abstract EN

This pa per proposes a self-excited single-stage high power factor LED lighting driving circuit.

Being featured with power factor correction capability without needing any control devices, the proposed circuit structure is with low cost and suitable for commercial production.

The power factor correction function is accomplished by using inductor in combination with a half-bridge quasi resonant converter to achieve active switching and yield out voltage regulation according to load requirement.

Furthermore, the zero-voltage switching in the half-bridge converter can be attained to promote the overall performance efficiency of the proposed circuit.

Finally, the validity and production availability of the proposed circuit will be verified as well.
