In the embodiment of Fig. 2, amplification module 230 includes amplifier 232, amplifier 234 and switch 236, and current adjusting module 240 includes electric current groove (current sink) 242, electric current groove 244 and switch 246.Amplifier 232 is used for amplified current Iff to produce the current i 1 that is directly proportional to the voltage swing of feed-forward signal Sff.Amplifier 234 is used for amplified current Iff to produce the current i 2 that is directly proportional to the voltage swing of feed-forward signal Sff.Electric current groove 242 is coupled to the output of amplifier 232, is used for drawing the first scheduled current amount i3.Electric current groove 244 is used for drawing the second scheduled current amount i4.Switch 236 is coupled between the output and electric current groove 242 of amplifier 234, current i 2 can be coupled to the input of electric current groove 242 when conducting.Switch 246 is coupled between the output and electric current groove 244 of amplifier 232, current i 1 can be coupled to the input of electric current groove 244 when conducting.
In the present embodiment, as feed-forward signal Sff during less than threshold values Vth, comparison circuit 210 can be arranged to not on-state with switch 236, make total output current of amplification module 230 become i1, and switch 246 also is arranged to not on-state, make the total current amount of drawing of current adjusting module 240 become i3.As feed-forward signal Sff during more than or equal to threshold values Vth, 210 of comparison circuits can be arranged to conducting state with switch 236, make total output current of amplification module 230 become i1+i2, and switch 246 also is arranged to conducting state, makes the total current amount of drawing of current adjusting module 240 become i3+i4.
Thus, during less than threshold values Vth, the size of the output current i5 of fragment linear gain circuit 130 can equal i1-i3 as feed-forward signal Sff.At this moment, the magnitude of voltage of the gain signal Sg of fragment linear gain circuit 130 outputs can be represented by the formula:
Sg=(G1 * Vin-i3) * R formula (1)
Wherein G1 is the transduction gain of amplifier 232, and R is the resistance value of resistance 250.By formula (1) as can be known, during less than threshold values Vth, the size of gain signal Sg and feed-forward signal Sff can be linear positive correlation as feed-forward signal Sff.
During more than or equal to threshold values Vth, the size of the output current i5 of fragment linear gain circuit 130 can equal i1+i2-i3-i4 as feed-forward signal Sff.At this moment, the magnitude of voltage of the gain signal Sg of fragment linear gain circuit 130 outputs can be represented by the formula:
Sg=[(G1+G2) * Vin-(i3+i4)] * R formula (2)
Wherein G2 is the transduction gain of amplifier 234.By formula (2) as can be known, during more than or equal to threshold values Vth, the size of gain signal Sg and feed-forward signal Sff also can be linear positive correlation as feed-forward signal Sff, but the yield value of gain signal Sg can be than feed-forward signal Sff be greater during less than threshold values Vth.

Therefore, aforesaid fragment linear gain circuit 130 can be used to replace traditional squarer, and its circuit framework is simple more than traditional squarer, and significantly reduce required bias generator, therefore can effectively dwindle the circuit area of controller 124, and required electrical power consumed and manufacturing cost when reducing by 120 running of active circuit of power factor correction.
As previously mentioned, PWM controller 150 in controller 124 can be exported the error signal Sea of error amplifier 140 outputs divided by fragment linear gain circuit 130 gain signal Sg, and resulting numerical value be multiply by again the size of the input voltage vin after rectification, to produce control signal Scom.On implementation, controller 124 can adopt with input voltage vin has the magnitude of voltage of a proportionate relationship or the size that electric current I ac represents input voltage vin.Pulse-width modulation signal generator 122 can produce corresponding pulse-width modulation signal PWM according to control signal Scom, and the switching action with power ratio control switch 116 makes input current Iin follow control signal Scom and changes.Because the waveform of control signal Scom can be identical with the waveform of input voltage vin, therefore front control mode of taking off can make the waveform of input current Iin follow the wave form varies of input voltage vin, and then the bring to power factor.
In addition, be similar to very much the square value of feed-forward signal Sff size due to the size of the gain signal Sg of fragment linear gain circuit 130 output, therefore PWM controller 150 can avoid the power output of AC to DC converter 100 to change along with the size of input voltage vin the action of error signal Sea divided by the gain signal Sg of fragment linear gain circuit 130 outputs equally.
In the aforementioned embodiment, the scope of the feed-forward signal Sff that fragment linear gain circuit 130 can input is divided into two sections and applies respectively different gains so that the size of the gain signal Sg that produces be similar to feed-forward signal Sff size square.This is only an embodiment, but not limits to actual execution mode of the present invention.On implementation, fragment linear gain circuit 130 also can be set up more comparison circuit, amplifier and switch module, be divided into more Multi sectional with the scope with feed-forward signal Sff, and apply respectively with different linear gains, make the size of gain signal Sg and feed-forward signal Sff more level off to quadratic relationship.
