Hey there.
I have seen Donald Duck fatazilions different schematics on SMPS and "traditional" PSU but rarely seen some DIY using PFC's. People claims from time to time that they are demanded, and others that they are nice to have.
Now comes number one silly question on this planet . For what good is a PFC and what estimation should done to choose if or not to use a PFC. Additional question, i might have missed one important point but in many cases it looks like that the supply is shorted to gnd via the FET ? And how come some have lover input voltage than output ?
And before You guess . No i have NEVER used a PFC, nor have i never heard about then at education places.
Sincerely
Klavs.
