Green Power Technologies' PF Switch-Module
is a Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM) Power Module. It is a smart,
low cost, simple solution for active power factor correction based
on GPT's innovative and patented control concept. With no sensing
of input voltage it ensures stable operation reducing interference
pick up caused by noisy input voltage and is the basis for the simple,
straightforward design of the PFC preconvertor. By adding minimum
external passive components, the PF Switch-Module
provides a complete power factor stage for up to a 2kW power level.
Its' robust control circuitry and smart construction enables location
of these external passive components anywhere in the equipment housing.
This unique product frees the designer from dealing with control
loops, compensation networks and greatly simplifies the PCB design.
The PF Switch-Module based system is able to start
up under full load and maintains stable output voltage over a wide
range of operating conditions. Integrated fast overvoltage protection,
cycle-by-cycle and average overcurrent protection, and overtemperature
protection, ensure high reliability even under rugged operating
conditions. The PFSwitch-Module is an excellent solution
for high power applications.
