Abstract
A new single-stage converter is proposed in this paper. The converter operates with fixed switching frequency, and with a continuous input current that is sinusoidal and in phase with the input voltage. This is in contrast with most other single-stage converters, which are either resonant converters or must operate with a discontinuous input current. All converter switches operate with soft-switching due to a simple auxiliary circuit that is used for only a small fraction of the switching cycle. In the paper, the operation of the converter is explained and analyzed, and design guidelines are given. The feasibility of the converter is shown with results obtained from an experimental prototype.
