Power factor correction on a Microcontroller (8-bit)
For school project I write a report about the posibility to implement PFC on a 8-bit microcontroller. Could any from you provide me information, or an example project how to do this ??

No, i don=B4t want to drive a PFC chip. I wan=B4t to implement the algorithm of PFC in a Micro controller.
Same question, what does that mean? The algorithm is just a computation, what are planning to do with the result?
to drive a motor With the result i want(

Do you even know what power factor correction is? You have to determine if you have a leading or lagging power factor, and introduce an equal and opposite reactance to bring it back to unity.
How you'd apply a microcontroller to that is, of course, left as an exercise for the student. ;-P

What do you mean? Do you mean using it to drive a PFC correction unit of some sort?
Well the input pins are about 5pF each, so you could parallel a few..

And?? A resonant circuit can do it - with a little feedback help. But the student said "motor", which (as a load) is inductive, so it is easier then.
The student may wish to read: Kjeld Torborg "Power Electronics in Theory and Practice", ISBN 91-44-38091-7.
