摘要 |
In some embodiments, a power supply may include a power factor correction (PFC) circuit to receive an input voltage signal and to provide an intermediate PFC output voltage signal, the PFC circuit including at least a first PFC stage and a second PFC stage, a converter circuit to convert the intermediate PFC output voltage signal to an output voltage signal, the converter circuit including at least a first converter stage and a second converter stage, and a control circuit to monitor at least one of the input voltage signal, the intermediate PFC output voltage signal, and the output voltage signal and to switch between respective pairs of the first PFC stage and first converter stage and the second PFC stage and the second converter stage based on the monitored signals. For example, the first PFC stage and first converter stage may provide relatively more efficient performance over a first output power range and the second PFC stage and second converter stage may provide relatively more efficient performance over a second output power range. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.
