Apparatus and method for a power converter with feed-forward voltage compensation to enable a PFC circuit are proposed. A voltage divider and a feedback unit output a compensation voltage and a feedback voltage in response to an input voltage and an output voltage, respectively. The feedback voltage is compensated by the compensation voltage through an operation unit. A comparator activates the PFC circuit within a predetermined input power range based on the already compensated feedback voltage. The proposed power converter can always activate the PFC circuit before the input power reaches 75 W regardless of any variation of the input voltage.
