Leading/Trailing Modulation

Conventional Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) techniques

employ trailing edge modulation in which the switch will turn

on right after the trailing edge of the system clock. The error

amplifier output is then compared with the modulating ramp

up. The effective duty cycle of the trailing edge modulation

is determined during the ON time of the switch. Figure 4

shows a typical trailing edge control scheme.

In case of leading edge modulation, the switch is turned

OFF right at the leading edge of the system clock. When

the modulating ramp reaches the level of the error amplifier

output voltage, the switch will be turned ON. The effective

duty-cycle of the leading edge modulation is determined

during OFF time of the switch. Figure 5 shows a leading

edge control scheme.

One of the advantages of this control technique is that it

required only one system clock. Switch 1(SW1) turns off and

switch 2 (SW2) turns on at the same instant to minimize the

momentary “no-load” period, thus lowering ripple voltage

generated by the switching action. With such synchronized

switching, the ripple voltage of the first stage is reduced.

Calculation and evaluation have shown that the 120Hz

component of the PFC’s output ripple voltage can be

reduced by as much as 30% using this method.
