Abstract:
A control unit for a switching converter has an inductor element coupled to an input and a switch element coupled to the inductor element and generates a command signal having a switching period to switch the switch element and determine a first time period in which an inductor current is flowing in the inductor element for storing energy and a second time period in which energy is transferred to a load. An input current is distorted relative to a sinusoid by a distortion factor caused by current ripple on the inductor current. The duration of the first time period is determined based on a comparison between a peak value of the inductor current and a current reference that is a function of an output voltage of said voltage converter. A reference modification stage modifies one of the current reference and sensed value of the inductor current to compensate for distortion introduced by the distortion factor on the input current.

Claim (Index 15):
The switching converter of  claim 13 , further comprising:\n an input stage including the switching converter coupled to a power source configured to supply the input voltage; an output stage configured to supply a regulated magnitude to the load as a function of the output voltage; and wherein the control unit is configured to control a power factor correction in a power absorption from the power source.
