Either a two-switch, double-diode boost converter, or simply a revised design of your current converter to remove the input bridge and have something far more efficient in its place.
Worried about Common Mode noise ? don't be - real solutions exist that can be integrated easily without requiring extra pcb real estate.
All the practical problems have been solved !
So where high efficiency or compactness is a priority, contact us for a technology transfer
We have used standard UPF control IC's like the UC3854N, UCC3817D to control the two switch booster from 90VAC to 275VAC with our novel current extraction technique.
