Abstract

A method of operating a PFC circuit. The method includes receiving an input voltage at an input terminal, controlling a current in an inductor via a first switch having a drain terminal, a source terminal and a gate terminal, where the inductor is coupled between the input terminal and the drain terminal and where during an on-time of the first switch the current in the inductor increases from substantially zero to a peak, during a first off-time of the first switch the current in the inductor decreases from the peak to substantially zero, and during a second off-time of the first switch the current in the inductor is substantially zero, generating a first reference voltage that is inversely proportional to a sum of the on-time and the first off-time of the first switch, and controlling the on-time of the first switch in response to the first reference voltage.
