ABSTRACT:
A power supply for providing a single level dc output voltage, with input power factor correction, from a wide range of ac input voltages commonly available worldwide. The power supply rectifier circuit can be configured as a full wave bridge for high line voltage inputs and as a voltage doubler for low voltage inputs. Output voltage regulation and power factor correction are accomplished by a high frequency boost circuit having two inductors connected in parallel for the low input voltage configuration and in series for the high input voltage configuration. The high frequency switching semiconductor components are connected in a series circuit which limits their voltage requirement to one-half the output voltage.
