Single-stage Flyback converter for constant current output LED driver with power factor correction

This paper presents a LED driver circuit based on single-stage Flyback converter with power factor correction. Voltage following control and Nonlinear carrier control are applied to constant current mode Flyback converter which is combined with constant current driver technique. By designing the outer loop to stabilize the output voltage and the inner loop to shape input current waveform, that makes the system achieve unity power factor. The circuit doesn't need an expensive multiplier as classical multiplier control. To verify the performance, the proposed circuit was confirmed by simulation and experiment. From the results, the proposed system shows high power factor with 0.96 and constant current output.
