Power factor correction (PFC) converters play a pivotal role in modern power electronics by ensuring an optimised alignment between the input current and the supply voltage. This alignment enhances ...

Electronic equipment and power supplies without any active or passive power factor correction (PFC) circuits have an input current waveform which has a poor power factor and high harmonic distortion.

A new reference design developed by ROHM Semiconductor uses a single microcontroller (MCU) to control both sides of the AC-DC power supply — the power-factor-correction (PFC) AC-DC converter stage and ...

The phrase power factor frequently is used in the electrical and power electronics industry. For example, home, office, and industrial electrical equipment often is fitted with power factor-corrected ...
