Purposes of PFC Control

Reducing harmonic current

(Application Example)

This figure shows an example of current waveforms before and after harmonic current reduction.

Current Waveforms

Power-saving
  • Improves the power factor by reducing the harmonic content of a current.
    Stabilizes the AC input.
  • Stabilizes the PFC current.
    Enables a power supply circuit to keep a constant supply of a nearly perfect sinusoidal current.

This figure shows how power reduction is achieved with PFC control.

CCM Continuous Conduction Mode (TB6818FG)
･Suitable for power levels above 200 W
･Fairly complicated circuit
CRM Critical Conduction Mode (TB6819FG/AFG)
･Suitable for power levels below 200 W
･Relatively simple circuit

Product Lineup

Toshiba offers PFC control ICs that operate in continuous conduction mode (CCM) or in critical conduction mode (CRM):
