Constant duty cycle controlled discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) flyback power factor correction (PFC) converter has the advantage of high power factor (PF) and the disadvantage of low efficiency. While, constant on-time (COT) controlled critical conduction mode (CRM) flyback PFC converter has the exact opposite features, besides its switching frequency varies in a line cycle, and the variation range is very large, which complicates the electromagnetic interference (EMI) design. In order to obtain both benefits of these two control methods, an adaptive off-time (AOT) control technique for DCM flyback PFC converter is proposed in this paper. By utilizing the output voltage and the amplitude of line voltage to adjust the off-time of the main switch, the magnetizing current of transformer exactly operates in CRM when the rectified input voltage gets the peak. Thus, the root-mean-square (RMS) current of the main switch and the diode, as well as the conduction loss can be effectively reduced, and high efficiency can be obtained. The proposed control technique also can achieve theoretical unity PF over universal input voltage range of 90~264VAC. Moreover, its variation range of switching frequency is greatly reduced compared to that of COT control. A 60W prototype has been fabricated and tested in the laboratory and experimental results are presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
