Systems and methods for hybrid phase-shift operation of interleaved pfc converters

Abstract

A method of operating a circuit is disclosed. The method includes providing an interleaved power factor correction (PFC) converter circuit; determining a switching frequency of the interleaved PFC converter circuit; setting a phase shift of the interleaved PFC converter circuit at a first phase shift when the switching frequency of the interleaved PFC converter circuit is below or at a first switching frequency; setting the phase shift of the interleaved PFC converter circuit at a second phase shift when the switching frequency of the interleaved PFC converter circuit is greater than the first switching frequency but less than a second switching frequency; and setting the phase shift of the interleaved PFC converter circuit at the first phase shift when the switching frequency of interleaved the PFC converter circuit is greater than the second switching frequency.
