The SSC2001S, developed and released by Sanken since 2012, is a continuous conduction mode (CCM) control integrated circuit (IC) designed for power factor correction (PFC). This device has a low peak ...

Fairchild’s Solution Enables Easy, Compact and Cost Effective High Power Applications Up to 9kW SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Designers of high power applications, such as air conditioner power ...

A peak current-mode power supply is subject to subharmonic oscillations if two conditions are met: the converter operates in the continuous conduction mode (CCM) and the duty-cycle is close to or ...

Most boost converters with PFC may operate in either discontinuous mode or continuous mode. In discontinuous mode (see the figure, a), the switch is turned on when the inductor current reaches zero ...

The definition of power factor (PF) is the ratio of the power drawn from the power grid (apparent power) to the power actually consumed in the load (real power). A power factor of ‘1.0’ is defined as ...
