Practical design issues for PFC circuits

Many difficult design issues are faced by designers trying to optimize the performance of boost PFC circuits. This paper addresses common design challenges and provides analytical techniques for developing practical solutions. The issues covered include line filtering, loop compensation alternatives, input voltage feedforward, protection circuits, and synchronization.
