STM Deep Dive: The importance of high-end converters with digital PFC controllers

door

Low power factor often means poor input current quality and inefficiencies, which generates cost burdens on the supplier, the consumer, or both.

In AC systems, low power factor often comes from input current waveforms that suffer distortions, which is why several international electrical standards impose strict limits on the amount of harmonic content in a supply current, and why active or passive power factor correction is almost mandatory in some circumstances.

In high power applications, it is often beneficial to divide the PFC stage into two or more parallel PFC circuits, in a process known as interleaving. While interleaving increases the number of circuit components, the lower currents and reduced switching frequencies in each channel allow better overall power and heat management, higher efficiency, and can actually lower costs due to the significantly smaller inductors required.
