A variable on‐time (VOT) control strategy for boundary conduction mode (BCM) single‐ended primary inductor converter (SEPIC) power factor correction (PFC) converter with high power factor (PF) and low total harmonic distortion (THD) is proposed. By utilising output voltage and input voltage to modulate the turn‐on time of the switch of BCM SEPIC PFC converter, the unity PF and lower THD can be achieved. The operating principles of the VOT controlled BCM SEPIC PFC converter are analysed. The experimental results based on 100 W prototype demonstrate that the PF and THD of proposed VOT controlled BCM SEPIC PFC converter are better than those of traditional BCM SEPIC PFC converter.
