An off-line switching power supply includes an ac rectifier and a dual-output switching converter having one output coupled between the ac rectifier and the input to the dual-output converter in order to provide a high power factor, the other output of the dual-output switching converter providing a do voltage as the power supply output. The outputs of the dual-output converter are fully decoupled so as to allow independent control of the ac input current and the power supply output voltage. In a preferred embodiment, a full-wave ac rectifier bridge is coupled in series with the second output of the power converter via an input resonant boosting converter. A full-bridge dc-to-ac converter is coupled between the do link and ground for providing an ac signal to excite the boosting converter and for providing another ac voltage through a transformer to an output rectifier to generate a regulated do output voltage. The amplitude of the regulated output voltage is controlled by pulse width modulation, while active frequency control of the boosting converter is provided to control the amplitude of the ac input current. Alternatively, frequency control of the boosting converter is passive, i.e., depends on the gain characteristics of the boosting converter resonant circuit. As a result of the complete decoupling of the input boosting converter and the power supply output voltage, the off-line switching power supply is capable of drawing high quality current waveforms from the ac source while producing a regulated do output voltage with fast transient response.
