The single-stage PFC has a simple structure and low cost. This paper introduces in detail a single-stage asymmetric half-bridge converter based on an asymmetric half-bridge, analyzes its working principle and main parameter selection, and verifies its PFC and ZVS characteristics by experiment. Keywords: power factor correction; asymmetric half-bridge; zero voltage switch 0 Introduction The more mature PFC technology at present is the two-stage PFC. The mature APFC circuit (usually a Boost circuit) is used in the front stage to achieve power factor correction. The required output can be obtained through the second-stage DC/DC conversion, and the isolation purpose can also be achieved. The two-stage circuit has its own control module, the circuit is relatively complex, and it is difficult to achieve high power density. The purpose of studying single-stage PFC technology is to reduce components, save costs, improve efficiency and simplify control. Therefore, the current research on single-stage PFC has also become one of the important topics. The role of the power controller in the single-stage PFC is to ensure fast and stable output, and the input power factor requirement needs to be solved by the power stage itself. There are many structures suitable for single-stage isolated PFC, but the single-stage PFC based on asymmetric half-bridge has unique characteristics. The working principle of this converter will be analyzed in detail below. 1 Working Principle of Single-Stage Asymmetric Half-Bridge Single-stage asymmetric half-bridge combines Boost PFC circuit with asymmetric half-bridge to form single-stage PFC. The main circuit of single-stage asymmetric half-bridge is shown in Figure 1. This circuit can realize both PFC and ZVS of the switch tube.
