Abstract
Proposed are a power factor correction device and its control method capable of obtaining a stable output as the output of a power supply unit while simplifying and miniaturizing the configuration. In the power factor correction device and the control method thereof including a coil and a switching element, and a control unit for controlling ON/OFF of the switching element, provided are an input voltage detection unit for detecting an input voltage of the power factor correction device, an output voltage detection unit for detecting an output voltage, and a coil current detection unit for detecting a coil current that is generated in the coil pursuant to the ON/OFF operation of the switching element. The control unit predicts an OFF time of the switching element of each switching cycle for controlling the switching element in a critical mode based on a voltage value of the input voltage detected with the input voltage detection unit, a voltage value of the output voltage detected with the output voltage detection unit, and a current value of the coil current detected with the coil current detection unit, and controls the ON/OFF of the switching element based on the prediction result.
