Abstract
A power factor correction circuit can include: a power meter configured to measure a power factor at an input port; a switching-type regulator that is controllable by a switching control signal in order to adjust the power factor of an input AC power; an EMI filter disposed between the switching-type regulator and the input port; and a controller configured to generate the switching control signal to maximize the power factor by adjusting a current reference signal according to a measured power factor, where the current reference signal represents an expected inductor current of the switching-type regulator.
