Abstract
In this article, a discrete average current mode (ACM) control method with hybrid modulation, which is composed of pulse train modulation and dual edge modulation, is proposed for boost power factor correction converters operating in continuous conduction mode to achieve both fast dynamic response and high power factor(PF). The proposed discrete ACM control is special in that fast and accurate control are achieved by directly generating discrete duty cycles to fit a unity PF duty cycle. The target duty cycle consists of two components <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">d</i> <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">1</sub> ( <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">t<sub>n</sub></i> ) and <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">d</i> <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sub> ( <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">t<sub>n</sub></i> ) related to output voltage and inductor current respectively. Based on <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">d</i> <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">1</sub> ( <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">t<sub>n</sub></i> ), the voltage control loop adjusts the output voltage by applying PTM in every half-line cycle. Based on <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">d</i> <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sub> ( <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">t<sub>n</sub></i> ), the current control loop, which is independence from the voltage control loop, regulates the inductor current to track reference current in every switching cycle to achieve high PF. Therefore, the voltage and current control loops of the proposed control are decoupled. The control principle, parameters design and control performances of the proposed discrete ACM control method are developed. Experimental results of 320-W prototype are presented to validate the proposed control method.
