Abstract

Conventional switch-mode LED drivers have problems such as poor performance in harmonic distortion, flickering, power factor correction, stresses on the switches, high switching losses, large size, and high cost. To resolve these problems, we propose a long-life LED driver with the ability of power factor correction. The proposed system is based on the integration of a half-bridge LLC resonant converter and two boundary-conducted boost converters. Both boost converters share a common inductor designed in such a way that both boost converters work in boundary conduction mode to attain the natural power factor correction. Half-bridge LLC resonant converter has soft switching characteristics, which assure the zero-voltage switching (ZVS) of primary-side switches and zero-current switching (ZCS) of diodes on the secondary side. This significantly reduces switching losses and improves the overall efficiency of the system. Voltage divider capacitors are used on the input side, which minimizes the bus voltages. The proposed system has two identical secondary windings with a coupled inductor to eliminate the mismatch between them, which powers two independent LED strings. The simulation of a 100-watt 240 V AC converter yields the approximate sinusoidal shape of the input current. It shows that the switches on the primary side are operated in ZVS and the diodes in ZCS. At 240-volt AC input, the efficiency is 87.4%, the total harmonics distortion (THD) is 10.98%, and the power factor (PF) is 0.98.
