Abstract
A PFC converter that prevents and reduces switching losses by controlling ripple of inductor current and enables application for high power usage, includes a switching device that is turned off when an inductor current flowing through an inductor reaches a first threshold value, and turned on when the inductor current reaches a second threshold value. A switching control circuit sets a reference value of the inductor current using results from an input voltage detection circuit and an output voltage detection circuit. The first threshold value is produced by adding a predetermined value to the reference value, and the second threshold value is produced by subtracting the predetermined value from the reference value.
