Ac-dc PWM single-stage converters that integrate the PFC and dc-dc conversion functions in a single switching converter have been proposed to try to minimize the cost and complexity associated with implementing two separate and independent switch-mode converters. In this paper, two simple ac-dc single-stage PWM full-bridge converters are considered - one current-fed, the other voltage-fed. The operation of both converters is explained and their properties are noted. Experimental results obtained from simple lab prototypes of both converters are presented, then compared and discussed.
