POWER-FACTOR CORRECTION CIRCUIT

摘要

The present invention includes: a series circuit including a reactor and a switching element connected between the rectified-current output terminals of a rectifier; a series circuit including a diode and a smoothing capacitor for obtaining an output voltage, connected in parallel to the switching element; an error amplifier configured to detect the output voltage, amplify the error between the detected output voltage and a reference voltage, and output an error signal; a zero-current detector configured to output a signal when detecting that a reactor current flowing in the reactor has become zero current; a correction signal circuit configured to detect a switching current flowing in the switching element, and generate a correction signal corresponding to the detected switching current; and an ON-period control circuit configured to control the switching element's ON period in accordance with the error signal and correction signal, from when the zero-current detector detects the zero current.
