Linear Technology Corporation’s LT3798 is an isolated flyback controller with single stage active power factor correction (PFC). Efficiencies greater than 86% can be achieved with output power levels ...

In a typical ac-dc power supply, diode bridges do not control inrush current due to the output capacitor sudden charge at line plug-in. A high inrush current can cause several issues for the system ...

Ideally, the power factor should be 1; then the load appears as a resistor to the AC source. However, in the real world, electrical loads not only cause distortions in AC current waveforms, but also ...
