Power Factor Correction in Switch Mode Power Supplies Using the SiC Schottky Diode
Team • Team Leader • Robin Kelley • Team Members • Travis Brignac • Clinton Livingston • Advisor • Dr. Mazzola
Abstract • Design a switch mode power supply with a new power factor correction circuit, which implements the SiC Schottky diode. • Application of SMPS as an electronic ballast • Issue Application Note detailing use of the SiC Schottky diode in power factor correction
Comparison: Si pn vs. SiC Schottky • Reverse biased pn junction diode does not turn off fast enough during switching • This is due to the removal of excess carries from the depletion region • Causes reverse recovery transient • SiC Schottky diodes do not need to remove excess carries from the depletion region • Eliminates reverse recovery transient. • Allows for higher operating frequencies
System / Hardware 120V AC
Prototype Results Lamp Voltage f=200kHz Resistive Load f=100kHz
Current / Future Work • Debugging Stage of PFC • Second Design Phase of Inverter Circuit • Integrate major circuits • Final Testing
