In recent years, several low-cost Power Factor Corrector (PFC) control techniques operating in Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM) have been proposed to simplify traditional control strategies based on a multiplier. This simplification makes sense in the case of relatively low-power, low-cost and wide...
