  • Power factor correction circuit and method therefor
    Patent number: 7400517
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a power factor correction circuit is configured to use a stored value of a feedback signal to assist in regulating the value of an output voltage and to bypass the sample and hold circuit if the output voltage increase to an upper limit or decreases to a lower limit.
