Design considerations of an SEPIC PFC converter for driving multiple lighting LED lamps

This paper presents a single‐ended primary inductance power‐factor‐correction converter (SEPIC PFC) for driving multiple lighting LED lamps. With the aid of this converter, high power factor and high efficiency can be achieved by a simple single‐stage circuit with low device stress features. A burst‐mode dimming method is used to regulate the current and brightness of multiple LED lamps. A laboratory prototype is also built and tested. With the prototype, high power factor can remain under universal input voltage operation and individual lamp brightness control.
