Abstract

A bridgeless power factor correction converter that can reduce common-mode noise and enhance power density is made up of a boost inductor coupled to an input end, a bidirectional switch connected in series with the boost inductor, a first series rectifying circuit having a junction node connected between the boost inductor and the bi-directional switch, a second series rectifying circuit connected in parallel with the first series rectifying circuit and having a junction node coupled to the bi-directional switch, and an output capacitor connected in parallel with the second series rectifying circuit, in which the second series rectifying circuit is made up of slow-recovery diodes and the first series rectifying circuit is made up of fast-recovery diodes.
