Abstract

A soft-switching control circuit of a boost-type PFC converter is provided. The boost-type PFC converter is a three-phase six-switch boost-type PFC converter, which includes six primary switching transistors and an auxiliary switching transistor. The control circuit includes a primary switch control circuit configured to output driving signals for the primary switching transistors by a one-cycle control algorithm to drive two of the primary switching transistors, and an auxiliary switch control circuit configured to provide a reset signal to the primary switch control circuit for governing a command from the primary switch control circuit to the primary switching transistors. The auxiliary switch control circuit outputs a driving signal for the auxiliary switching transistor to control the auxiliary switching transistor. The primary switch control circuit includes a section selecting circuit, an integrating circuit, a merging circuit and a comparing circuit. Therefore, the disclosure can reduce cost with the simple control.
