Abstract

See full text

The present disclosure is directed to a switching power converter having a power transistor controlled by a controller. The controller includes a multiplier that produces a voltage reference signal. A subtraction circuit subtracts a capacitor signal, which is based on the voltage reference signal, from a sensing signal that is representative of the current flowing through the power transistor. A comparator compares the voltage reference signal to the output of the subtraction circuit, and a driving circuit drives the power transistor based on the comparison resulting in a high power factor and low total harmonic distortion for the converter.
