Abstract

A bridgeless power factor correction (PFC) circuit has first and second nodes, and first and second current paths connected between the first and second nodes. The first current path includes a first semiconductor device and a first switch element, and the second current path includes a second semiconductor device and a second switch element. One of the first and the second current paths further includes first and second sensing elements that are oppositely connected in series.
