Step 2: Estimated Conversion Efficiency
Use the estimated full-load power conversion efficiency.
Typical value for an interleaved BCP PFC converter is in
the 0.92 to 0.98 range. The efficiency is in the lower half
of the range for low-power applications. Using state-of-
the-art semiconductors, good quality ferrite inductors
and selecting lower limit for minimum switching
frequency positively impacts the efficiency of the
system. In general, the value of 0.95 can be used
unless a more accurate power budget is available.

Step 3: Maximum Output Power per
Channel
A margin of 20% has been added to the nominal output
power
component tolerances, inductance mismatch, and
current-sense resistor variation to the per-channel
power rating.
