In this paper, a new integrated three-level ac-dc converter is presented. The proposed converter integrates the operation of the boost power factor correction and the three-level dc-dc converter. The converter is made to operate with two independent controllers-an input controller that performs power factor correction and regulates the dc bus and an output controller that regulates the output voltage. The input controller prevents the dc-bus voltage from becoming excessive while still allowing a single-stage converter topology to be used. The paper explains the operation of the new converter in detail and discusses its features and a procedure for its proper design. Experimental results obtained from a prototype are presented to confirm the feasibility of the new converter.
