Power Factor Correction (PFC) Controllers

Renesas power factor correction (PFC) controllers enhance efficiency and reduce power waste in AC/DC systems up to 1kW. These controllers feature boost topology—ideal for systems that require superior power factor correction across universal line input. Designed to operate in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM), our PFC controllers enable cost-effective designs with minimal external components, delivering exceptional performance without compromise.
