The provided method and control circuit are employed to alternately control the dual boost PFC circuits. The control circuit for alternately controlling parallel-connected first and second boost circuits of a dual boost PFC circuit to achieve a current-sharing of the first and the second boost circuits includes: a first control circuit having a first current control loop for employing an output voltage of the PFC circuit, a feed-forward voltage, and an input reference voltage to generate a current reference, and sending the current reference to an input terminal of the first current control loop to generate a first PWM signal to drive the first boost circuit, and a second control circuit having a second current control loop for receiving the current reference through an input terminal of the second current control loop to generate a second PWM signal to drive the second boost circuit.

Current sharing method and apparatus for alternately controlling parallel connected boost PFC circuits

An apparatus for reducing the heat losses caused by the DC Bus capacitor current is proposed. The apparatus includes: a double frequency boost converter circuit having two boost converter circuits coupled in parallel, in which two switches, respectively disposed on the two boost converter circuits, are turned on and off alternately to produce an output current having a frequency twice that of control signals of the two switches, and to offer a DC bus respectively, a full-bridge DC-DC converter coupled to an output terminal of the double frequency boost converter circuit for transforming an output of the DC bus to a DC voltage, and a DC bus capacitor coupled to the double frequency boost converter circuit and the full-bridge DC-DC converter in parallel for balancing two corresponding transient powers of the double frequency boost converter circuit and the full-bridge DC-DC converter respectively.

DC-DC converter circuits and method for reducing DC bus capacitor current

A DC-to-DC converter. The converter has three inductors, two capacitors, a first switch and a second switch, a first rectifier and a second rectifier, and a transformer with a primary winding and a secondary winding. The first switch and the second switch are turned on alternately according to a controlling signal, and a current may flow through the primary winding of the transformer, thereby transferring energy to the second winding. The first rectifier and the second rectifier operate according to the energy transferred from the primary winding to obtain a solid current through the third inductor, and a solid DC output voltage is output to the load.
