Abstract
A common-core power factor correction resonant converter includes an energy-transforming circuit. The energy-transforming circuit receives an input line voltage and generates an output power. The energy-transforming circuit includes a coupling inductor and a charge-storage capacitor. The coupling inductor and the charge-storage capacitor are charged by the input line voltage in response to a control signal, so as to generate a charge-storage capacitor voltage. When the charge-storage capacitor voltage is charged to a preset voltage level, the coupling inductor and the charge-storage capacitor are discharged according to the control signal. Then, the energy in the coupling inductor and the charge-storage capacitor is transformed to the output load and provide the output voltage or current regulation.
