I am wondering if there are any circuits for any active power factor correction circuits which use a UC384x, TL494 or MC34063. I am considering making one for an online UPS I am designing.

My first choice in quality Japanese electrolytics is Nippon Chemi-Con, which has been in business since 1931... the quality of electronics is dependent on the quality of the electrolytics. -

I suggest loking to ST, they have plenty of app notes and desing notes on their respective a-pfc controlesrs.

Re: Active PFC with UC384x, TL494 or MC34063?
In a server supply with active PFC, it had an LT1249. The application circuit does not monitor the AC waveform. I am still wondering if it is possible to build a PFC circuit containing a UC384x, TL494 or MC34063.My first choice in quality Japanese electrolytics is Nippon Chemi-Con, which has been in business since 1931... the quality of electronics is dependent on the quality of the electrolytics.Comment

Transistor Devices had a P/S with active PFC implemented with a UC3842, ca. 1989, but I never saw the details on the design. I'd look into using a UC3854, an actual PFC controller. You should be able to find App notes for it on TI's website. It's been around for about 15 years, so it shouldn't be too pricey.PeteS in CA
Power Supplies should be boring: No loud noises, no bright flashes, and no bad smells.
