ABSTRACT:
A power factor correcting power supply includes an input stage power converter and an output stage power converter. The input stage power converter includes an opposed current converter and a power factor correction controller. The power factor correction controller may direct the operation of the opposed current converter to perform power factor correction and voltage regulation. The opposed current converter is supplied AC input voltage and AC input current from a power source. The AC input voltage is converted to a DC boost voltage by the opposed current converter. The DC boost voltage may be converted to a desired DC output voltage by the output stage power converter. The desired DC output voltage may be provided on a DC rail for a load of the power factor correcting power supply.
